It's June! Only a couple weeks left of school. And after this friday, I won't really have much more work because... you guessed it it's report card day! My LAST MEMORY VERSE OF THE YEAR is this Thursday. Plus, I have a field trip to the Panam Pool later in this month. YAY!
A couple weeks ago I started reading a book called A Rebel's Daughter. My Teacher gave it to me as a Christmas book last year. I started it a few times and I couldn't get into it.
So I gave up on reading it.
Then, I was sick on day, and I was tired of playing my iPod, so I looked on my bookshelf in my room. Most of the Dear Canada books I had already read, and I didn't want to read some of them, so I decided to make it a goal of mine to finish it by the time I got better.
So I picked out "A Rebel's Daughter".
It started out slow, just as it was when I began to read it before. I still wasn't into it.
But at around page 30 or so, I actually started to like it. It was about a young girl named Arabella who had a father who joined Mackenzie's Rebellion in 1837. Her mother was very selfish and self-seeking, and the family lost all their money because her dad was in prison from the rebellion. So they were forced to sell all their positions and rent a small house. Arabella's mom bought a maid and gave Arabella's bed to her. Arabella had enough. The kind man who owned the house found her a job as a scullery maid at a wealthy family's (who's son was one of her missing brother's friend) house.Life is hard. She works six days a week, and has to share a bed with the unpleasant servant named Sukey. It was suprizingly really good.
Now I looked on my bookshelf at one of the best Dear Canada's:
A Rebel's Daughter.
Madi ive told you and told you and told you to read that book! Its one of my faves too!
