My Book Club

This term my Book Club, the Meltdowns, are reading a book called Scarlet Ibis. It is a really cool book about birds and safety. I really have been enjoying this book, although it took me a while before I understood it. Here is my summary for the first chapter:

Scarlet and her brother Red would like to sail the Caroni Swamp in Trinidad. “We’ll wait for the sun to sink, turning the mountains of the Northern Range deep blue.” They will watch the Scarlet Ibis settle into the trees.

Mrs Gideon, aka “The Penguin” is the social worker who comes to spy on them. They have to make everything “safe” otherwise this will be used against them.
I have also done my Travel Tracer for the second chapter.

Where key events happen: Mrs Gideon comes and looks at Scarlet’s school reports, where she saw that she was a smart girl. Scarlet has beaten the Penguin - this time, at least.	Page where it was described: 17-18
Where today’s events end: Sita’s Mum gives Scarlet and her family some banana cake. She is concerned about Scarlet’s family.	Page where it was described:
