The book we are reading in book club is called Peak, it is about a boy named Peak. Peak loves climbing, and he could do it all the time. He even went to juvenile detention for climbing a building called the Woolworth building which is actually a building in New York City. Peak’s parents had never gotten married so his mom married a guy named Rolf which is Peak’s stepdad. When Peak was in juvenile detention his real “dad”came to take him to Tibet to climb Mt. Everest. Peak would have to stay in juvenile detention for three years if his dad didn’t come. Peak had many days of training After lots of training Peak has started his journey on Mt. Everest. Peak had so many practice runs just to go on this one mountain. They just made it all the way to camp number four, everything is going great so far. Let’s hope that they make it up Mt. Everest successfully and safely.

Diwali is the amazing and colorful festival full of lights. I celebrate the Indian holiday called Diwali. During Diwali you put out special lights called diyas, the diyas light up a path so the Hindu god Saraswati can see your house. Something you do during Diwali is Rangoli which is art with colored powder. A lot of people dance and sing to celebrate Diwali, and they have lots of sweets to give to god. Diwali is a fun and enjoyable holiday and I am always looking forward to it.

I am writing my blog in fifth grade book club. My blog posts so far have been about the books we are reading in class. The first book was called When the Sea Turned to Silver, the setting was in Asia. The book we are reading now is called, Heart of a Samurai the setting for this book starts off in Japan. The two of these books were both in Asia and we are learning about Asia in social studies. I hope you visit my blog and comment.
