When i read this magnificent book Weirdo i get teleported into a different world this book is very exiting and u will always want to find out what happens next i have enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read the next weirdo book that comes out.

I liked the book Weirdo Messy weird because it is a new story about weir and his family and they have to get unpacked and mothers day is coming up for weirs mum and weir, Bella and Henry. 

Julian - Sydney Harbor Bridge In my opinion I think the book Sydney Harbor Bridge by Vashti Farrer is a great book.It is about a building company is building the Sydney harbor Bridge and the great depression struck the world but Australia kept work on building the bridge because it would give people jobs so there is less unemployment. I feel sad that men who want to work and they cant because there is not enough jobs and a lot of people are going destitute because of it. However I feel happy that the person who is writing the diary is in a good state because he/she's father has a job working on the bridge but when it is finished he will go out of work but will his family get affected by the depression or not?

SNOWY BY SIOBHAN MCHUGH  Snowy is a very drama filled book, in my opinion I like how it has the view of a person adapting to the consequences, life, love life etc. Eva is an eleven year old girl who moved from Bondi to the snowy scheme in 1958-1959. This story has a lot of heart break and overall death or injuries. I enjoy how the book embroids true facts of what actually happened and a spin of drama. -Isla 5/6/18

Plagues and Federation is a book about when our nation became one and a disease that was existent in the 1900's. As kitty writes about her struggles and the improvement each day, she attends to note about  how she feels. This book made me feel very curious about things that  were going to happen the next day.  In the open world it makes me feel very fortunate as Plagues is not occurring today and at the same time i feel pity for those family' s who had to experience that rough time. It also makes me connect with kitty not in the sense that i have experienced but the way she describes every change she is very open and she grabs your attention.

After completing  Plagues and Federation, I believe that it is a great book and really gives year six a great understanding of life before Federation and helps us make connections to our history topics in class. It helps visualise life before federation in a more interesting way. Although, the book only focuses on one characters perspective. I would find it interesting to know what other people that are older and have achieved more things back then, thought of life before federation.
