This book is good so far. I think that Margot is correct, It doesn't have much rising action. Nothing really exciting has happened since the bomb. I think the author should learn to spread out the exciting events because it kind of started out really exciting, and then dies down a little bit. There are not many hooks, but I like all the figurative language. Its well written, and I really like it. How far are you guys? Im on chapter 10.
at first, I felt really bad for her best friend, but now I think she needs to toughen up,and tell someone why she is so sad! I think it was really nice of her to give her the last piece of choclate- especially because she loves it so much.
I think the book is beginning to get interesting again, because not only is Suzanne singing in operas but she's running out of reasons why she is visiting the doctor to get the messages that she has to deliver. Now that she's going to sing in Paris, she has the problem of not being in town to pass the messages on to the other spys. I believe the next few chapters will get more interesting because of this problem. What would you do? Go to Paris and sing or stay in town to deliver messages to the other spys? I wonder if she's ever going to get caught?
Robby! We need your opinion!!! Come on! Ok, so this book is really good, but I still don't see why the father has to work for the Nazi's. I also think that Yvette or Suzzane really realize how lucky they truely are- after all they have been thorough they are still stubborn, and not appreciative of what they do have.

Example Response
John Smith: Wow! I am so interested in this book. Could you imagine being orphaned at our age and having to be able to survive on our own? Crispin has no other relatives to take him in, and it sounds like he is not very accepted in his village. I wonder why John Aycliff is after him? Life was so different during this time period. People could be killed for doing what we consider very minor things. Life sure was difficult. I am curious to know what you guys think about this book. Do you think Crispin will stay in Stromford or run away? How will he escape John Aycliff?
BLOG #3 DISCUSSION IDEAS
Discuss the injustices that occur in your book(s). Provide specific examples and your reaction.
Knowing what we do now about the Holocaust and the murder of over 6,000,000 Jewish people, how do you feel knowing that there are genocides still going on today? It is estimated that anywhere between 200,000- 400,000 civilians have been killed in Darfur since 2003. What does this say about our civilization that events like this still occur? What can we do to help prevent this type of situation from occurring?
