How would you describe this book to someone that is curious about reading it? This book is about a kid named Martha Miller who, before her 8th birthday, named herself Georgie Blake. She has a friend named Harriet Ann, and they go on adventures together. Harriet Ann has three older brothers, and the brothers always get in trouble and play pranks. This book also had three sisters without parents who are very nice to Georgie and Harriet Ann. When they find a boxcar in the woods, it opens up a whole new world for them. What is the climax or rising action of this reading? How does it shape the tone? Do you think this reading should be made into a film? Why or why not? The most exciting part was when Harriet Ann and Georgie Blake find a boxcar in the woods. They have such cool adventures, and finding that boxcar was really not expected. Yes, because it has lots of exciting parts, though none of the parts would need special effects, and that isn't a big thing, just that special effects are cool. How can you change one component of this reading to make it more enticing? I could change... actually, this is such an entertaining book, I don't think anything is needed, or anything taken away. If you were asked to read this to an audience, who would benefit from hearing this selection? Why? 9 and up, because there are some harder words.
