I just finished this novel by Stuart Gibbs called Evil Spy School. This book was the third book in the Spy School series. I recommend it to people who like realistic fiction and have already read the other books in the series. I recently learned about window and mirror books in my Language Arts class. Window books are books that don’t reflect your life or situation. Mirror books are books that mirror you or the situation you are in. To me, Spy School is a window book because I am not an undercover spy for the CIA. I typically choose window books to read, like science fiction or fantasy books. I hope that later on in the year I will read some mirror books. Thank you for reading!

Emily’s Backpack

During the summer, I read Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick. The book was about a girl named Reesie during Hurricane Katrina. Reesie was being forced to flee from her hometown in New Orleans because of the hurricane. She had a backpack that she had packed at the last minute on her own, which included important papers, her phone, some food, and other emergency supplies. I think she packed well, considering she didn’t have much time on hand. 

When I read Finding Someplace, I decided to pack a backpack of my own. In my backpack I packed extra clothing because I didn’t want to be cold, basic food/snacks because I didn’t want to be hungry, a water bottle/filter because I wanted something clean to drink, and an iPad/portable charger so I can contact people and recharge my iPad without needing a plug. I also brought a flashlight/batteries because I wanted a light when it’s dark outside, a First Aid kit if anyone has any injuries or gets hurt, and an umbrella/rain coat if it starts raining outside. In case something happens to my flashlight, I would also bring a headlight and a lantern. I hope I packed everything I need if I were to go on the same adventures as Reesie.
