The Diamond of Darkhold

I finally chose a book to read, "The Diamond of Darkhold." It's the fourth book from the series of Ember. It starts with a flashback of one of the Builders, it turns out he hid something in Ember, that the people of Ember were supposed to find. In Sparks, Lina Mayfleet bought a old book from a roamer for her best friend Doon Harrow. Doon now collects books. They read the cover of the book and find out that it was Directions of use for the people of Ember. They both were very stunned and confused. Doon decides that they have to go back to Ember to find what ever this book has instructions for. Lina and Doon set off on another adventure, and hopefully they will find answers. I'm just at the part were Lina and Doon get into their old city and start exploring. Doon gets captured by mysterious people who claim to control the city now. Meanwhile Lina sets out for Sparks to get help for Doon. So far this book is really good.

In my writer's journal this week, I didn't write a whole lot. My favorite was an story about my grandma and the funny stuff she does. I hope to get more in my journal next week.

I'm really getting used to Literacy Workshop. I like reading in class. I'm one of those people who could just read all the time. Writing in my journal in also fun. I really am getting to like this workshop.
