Book
Title: THE SEEMS : The Glitch in Sleep
Author:
John Hulme and Michael Wexler
Illustrator: Gideon Kendall
This
book was about
12
year old Becker Drane leads an average life until he takes an aptitude test at
the Books & Café in Highland Park.
Now there are times when his world is turned completely upside down at a
moment’s notice. If you like adventure,
action and drama; this is the perfect book for you. You will visit alternate worlds and hear and
learn things that only Seemians are suppose to know. Do you believe enough to bring the wonderful
characters of the Seems to life? Read it and find out!
My favorite character in this book was Casey Lake because
She
holds one of the highest positions that an outsider, from the seems, can hold.
She is also very witty. Her peers and
co-workers hold her in high revere. She is a very active person in the story.
I liked
this book because
There
are so many different settings with something very unique going on in each and
every one of them. I loved that there
was very little down time and the characters were always in action. This book is a wonderful introduction to a
series of adventure stories.
You
should read this book because
This
book is a quick paced read. There is adventure with the tern of every page. The
words are so descriptive that the characters easily come to life and are
completely amazing.
How could this book be useful in the classroom and what age group would use this book
| This book should be used for high readers in 3rd grade to readers as old as you can get. I think mostly fourth and fifth grade. One of the fun things about this book is that you can take the seemian aptitude test, there is an appendix in the back and the for shadowing is amazing. This could very easily be the one book that gets the child who is resistant to read completely engrossed into reading. The word choice in this book is amazing . There are endless possibilities on how to use this book in a lesson plan, this book has 254 pages and holds tones of adventure for both boys and girls. |
Yay!! Ok, so I love how you made sure you covered your bases and hit all the important points. I can tell you really put time into your reading and writing of the book talk!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the book talk that you gave on this book. It made me want to go read the book even if i wasn't going to use it in the classroom. I enjoyed reading your blog because it once again reminded me about what the book was about. The only suggestion I have for your blog is maybe add some pictures from the book or at least a picture of the cover. Also, the font was a little small and hard to read, but glad you were able to figure it out and get it up there.
