Peter and the Starcathchers November 3, 2009

I absolutely loved this book!  I had seen the movie of Peter Pan before and as I was reading this book I could really see the correlation between the two.  When I started reading the book I became so interested in what was happening and what would happen next.  The story line of the book really keeps the reader interested in what is happening.  I also felt like the language used in the book was very descriptive so that the reader was able to visualize everything that was being described.  This makes me think of a class discussion where we pointed out the passage on page 10 and 11 where the strong descriptions appeal to every one of the senses.  I think that this would be a good thing to point out to students so that they may have an example of descriptive writing that may help them in their attempts of writing.  I really feel that this would be a good book for students to read because there are so many different activities that a teacher could incorporate in the classroom.  I really enjoyed looking at some of these activities as I was reading the book.  I really feel that students would be excited about reading this book and I hope that as a future teacher I might be able to incorporate this book in my classroom.
