<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">I read the book Wish by Barbara O’Connor and the genre of this book is</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">Domestic Fiction. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">The reason why I chose this book for my book talk is because I saw a dog</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> on the cover. And as you probably know, I LOVE dogs. So when I saw</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> a </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">dog on the cover of the book, I thought it would be a very interesting </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">book to read.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> In the book Wish by Barbara O’Connor, Charlie Reese is not a very lucky</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> girl. Her father just went to jail and her mother won’t get out of bed. So, </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">Charlie gets sent to a ghost town called Colby in North Carolina with her</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> aunt and uncle Gus and Bertha who she has never even met!! But one thing</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> that Charlie does keep track of in her crazy life if making a wish every day. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">Once Charlie gets to school, the only person who wants to be her friend is a</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> hillbilly kid named Howard. At first, Charlie doesn't want to be Howard’s </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">f</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">riend but eventually, she comes around. But, what really connects Howard </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">and Charlie is one day, when they are on the bus home, they spot a stray dog.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">Charlie, wants. That. dog. So Charlie and Howard start making traps for the </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">stray dog. And one day, THEY CATCH IT!!! Charlie decides to name the dog</span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> Wishbone. Charlie is happy the whole summer. She has a real friend, a real </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">dog and a starting to be a real family. Until one day Charlie’s mom calls and </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">says she wants her back home. What will Charlie do? Will she go back to </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">Raleigh, or stay in Colby? </span><div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">One thing I enjoyed about this book is that there is a lot of suspense in it </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">so you really want to keep reading it. One thing I disliked about this book </span><br /><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">is that it took so long for Charlie and Howard to catch Wishbone! </span><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">People I would recommend this book to is animal lovers, and sad book lovers</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;">I would rate this book an 8. I would rate it this because I LOVED the book,</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; white-space: pre;"> just it was very sad.</span><div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">The book, “One For The Murphys” is about a girl named Carley Connors. Carley’s mom is in a hospital so Carley ends up in foster care. The foster family she is with is the Murphys. The Murphys are Julie Murphy, a stay-at-home mom. Jack Murphy, a fireman and three boys. The oldest boy is Daniel who likes to play basketball. The middle boy, Adam always plays with the youngest boy, Michael Eric.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> In the beginning, Carley doesn’t want to stay with the Murphys she just wants to find a way back to her mom. Mrs. Murphy tries making Carley feel welcome by giving her her own room and space. Then she does a “Girls Day” with Carley which consists of lunch, shopping and dinner. This is quite a different experience than when her and her mom did dumpster diving for clothes at night when the Goodwill was closed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> Next, Mrs. Murphy enrolls Carley in the 8<sup>th</sup> grade at the same school as Daniel. In her class she meets a really mean girl named Toni. After they are assigned partners for a project by their teacher, Mr. Ruben, they become good friends even best friends over time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> In the end, Carley’s mom is out of the hospital and into rehab and is now allowed to take Carley. However, Carley does not want to leave the Murphys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> Will she stay with the Murphys or go back to Las Vegas with her mom? Read “One For The Murphys” to find out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">Sitting in the back of the social worker’s car, I try to remember how my mother has always said to never show your fear. She’d be disappointed to see me now. Shaking. Just going without a fight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> The social worker, Mrs. MacAvoy, pulls out of the hospital parking lot while I play with the electric-lock button on her car door. <i>Lock. Unlock. Lock. Unlock.</i> She glares at me in the mirror and says, “Please… stop that. The door needs to stay locked.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;"> I love it when people use the word <i>please </i>but they sound like they want to remove your face. I stop. But I’m not doing it to bug her like she thinks. It’s just that I can’t keep still. And it beats jumping out of a moving car.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
