For the first week back of term three we have jumped right into our learning. For our reading group we have been assigned a task were we have to read little snippets of this book called refugee every week and then we have to answer questions about the part of the book we have read. It is a really good book as far as I can tell. It is about three children and their families in different periods of time, trying to emigrate to other countries to escape from war and starvation. One of the kids and his family are in Nazi Germany, 1939, trying to escape from the treatment they get for being Jews. They try to get to Cuba. On the other side of the world. One is in Cuba, 1994, trying to get to America to escape from starvation in Cuba, and the last one is in Syria, 2015, and I don't know where they are going just yet, trying to escape from war and political unrest in Syria. It is a really good book and it is written by Alan Gratz. Please leave a comment on this post. :D.
Hey hunter it's Jack,I like how you explained what the book is about. this reminds me of when I moved to New zealand. Except it was a tiny bit easier then what happens in refuge. all I had to do is jump on a plane! do you know when you're going to finished because i am really looking forward to reading more!

Hey Jack, thanks for the comment.
DeleteI am not sure when we will be finished because we only get around six chapters a week, and I don't know how many chapters there are in the book.
Hey Hunter yes that sounds a great book. Love how there are three different stories about three different families in similar situations in different time periods. Id be interested in reading this book too :) Mum x
