The book The Wild Girls by Pat Murphy, is about two girls Joan and Sara, nicknamed Newt and Fox, who love nature. They spend all their free time outside talking and playing. Soon after they become friends, they both discover that they love to write stories together and alone.
This book is very realistic because all the characters are facing problems people have in real life, such as Sara meets her mom for the first time in six years and Joan's parents are fighting non stop. One example of a story Joan and Sara wrote together was called The Wild Girls and it was about girls who live in the wild and like to do the same things that Joan and Sara do, like climb trees, go in the creek and build treehouses. They like to write the stories because they are both very imaginative, they like to escape the problems they have at home, they are very good at writing and it's fun for them.
I think the story is very good because it's not your every day book. The characters are different. The book is about nature, everyday problems, and writing stories. I think that everybody should try reading this book and I think that everybody will like it because its interesting, descriptive, and it is very different.
Rereading your post, I'm wondering how you compare yourself to the characters in the book. Is there one who you especially relate to?
ReplyDeleteI like this post a lot Talia! It's very descriptive and I think I will read this book. You put a lot of detail in this and I think it shows some of your feelings about it. Good Job!
