    Hi Von,

    I really enjoyed reading the synopsis that you provided for your book of choice (The Girl Who Wasn't There). It sounds like a really interesting story. I, too, wonder what happened to Kat and why it is that she's wandering around the school so many years after her death.

    It sounds like it could be a little bit frightening. Did you find it scary or hard to read?

    Thanks so much for telling us about this book, Von. I am positive that Curious Kiwi will love it. (He's a bit braver than I am when it comes to reading mystery books)!

    Wishing you and your family a very happy new years. I hope that you are able to celebrate the end of 2016 together. I am just about to head out to dinner with my son and I can't wait to watch the fireworks together!

    See you in the new year :)

    Rachel

    Hey Rachel,

    Actually the book was not that scary, and to be honest I couldn't help it I never wanted to put the book down when it was bed time.

    Thanks for the comment and, and yes indeed I will celebrate the end of 2016! Lucky you're going to see the fireworks with your son I wish I could come and see the fireworks.

    Cheers,
    Von

      Hi Von!

      Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The fireworks were pretty good but we went to see them from the north shore of Auckland and the view wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. Apparently, the best place to see the fireworks was from downtown Auckland. I'll do my best to go there next year and take some pictures so that I can post them on our Summer Learning Journey site!

      Aronui enjoyed the fireworks, too, although he did get a little bit scared. They can be pretty loud!

      Speaking of getting scared, I'm relieved to read that 'The Girl Who Wasn't There' wasn't too scary. I will definitely encourage Curious Kiwi to read it and, when Aronui is old enough, I'll encourage him to read it too!

      Thanks for the suggestion, Von.

      Wishing you a great start to 2017!

      Cheers,
      Rachel :)

    Hi Von,

    I agree with the others here, I think that book sounds really interesting! You've given such a detailed and intriguing description of the book... I want to go out and read it for myself!

    Did you read this book with your class this year, or did you find this one yourself? I love finding new, interesting books to read. I was lucky enough to find a bit of time this summer to catch up on my reading which was really fun! One of them was by my favourite author Bryce Courtenay - have you ever read one of his books before?

    Was this book your favourite one you read in 2016? I almost wrote this year, before realising it's 2017 now! Wow, I hope you have been having a fun holiday.

    Cheers :-)
    Dan.
