'Who Am I' thoughts and feelings

Who Am I 
Written by Anita Heiss

This past term I have been reading a book called 'Who am I' written by Anita Heiss. This book is written so well you almost think it's a true story but it's not. Anita Heiss is a talented and imaginative author that knows how to write.

I like 'Who am I' because you really pretend you are in Mary's shoes and it is written in such detailed, amazing language that even though I will never actually feel like Mary does, I can imagine how she feels. The book itself is so engrossing and you just don't want to put it down or stop reading it.

I feel sorry for Mary because she is always getting teased, picked on, and blamed for things she didn't do e.g when Ms Foster's bag gets stolen, everyone (even Mary's own foster parents) blames her for stealing the bag even though Mary is pleading and crying.

Overall it is an awesome book and I really can't see any faults in the author's writing or in the realism of the book. I really like it and can't wait to read more.

    Although the story is not true many of the events spoken about in the book are factual. It is an interesting way to learn about Australia's history.

Samurai Kids- White Crane written by Sandy Fussell

Samurai Kids Samurai Kids is a very intriguing and interesting book. This book is written for 11-13 year old audiences and has a lot of twists and turns along the way. Samurai Kids is about kids who want to be samurais but no ryu will accept them due to their disabilities. The main character;  Niya has no leg and the children have disabilities such as blindness, extra fingers and toes and one child has no arms.

Samurai Kids Isla

I am up to page 146 in this descriptive, enduring book. Samurai Kids has many funny parts and unpredictable events, for example Taji is blind but he somehow beat Niya, a boy missing a leg. Taji usually beats the crew because he doesn't have the gift of sight he can hear very deeply, even a small tip toe step.
