3RD Indie Reading Book

My third independent reading book is Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney. Since I read only a few pages in 10 minutes, it started out with a person named Mitty. He was in an advanced biology class and he doesn't work. It was a friday and an assignment was due. Mitty had no idea what was due and he asked Derek -who was sitting next to him- what was due? It was 10 pages of notes on a disease. Mr. Lynch (the teacher) starts noticing that Mitty never does his work. If Mitty keeps this up, Mr. Lynch has to move him to regular biology. But Mitty didn't want to switch classes because there was someone in that class he liked. Her name was Olivia Clark. She was always on task, never slacked work. Olivia always nagged Mitty to do his work. Mitty felt that he didn't deserve to be in anything advanced. But his father and mother put pressure on the school and to ensure Mitty's life was to be brilliant in high school, get an awesome college acceptance letter, then go to medical school.

Indie Reading Book

My book that i'm reading is Hatchet. I know its an easy book but I never read it before, I only saw the movie. The main character is Brian Robeson. I've only read up to 24 pages (two chapters) and his personality developes when the pilot had an heart attack. Brian was scared and he didn't know what to do. He saw a radio and in the other end, someone responded but they were losing signal. Brian waited for an answer for half an hour but no one responded. The plane was running out of fuel and sooner or later it was ganna crash. Brian notice that it was a water plane and he tried to find a pond. It hit ground...
