Over the summer, the sixth grade class of Durham Academy Read a book about a lot of water. A whole lot of water. This book about a whole lot of water is in fact called “Finding Someplace” by Denise Lewis Patrick. (Surprisingly not called A Whole Lot of Water). Anyway, In this book of a whole lot of water, 13 year old Reesie Boone is trapped in New Orleans, waiting for her godfather to pick her up before hurricane Katrina did. At her house, she had to decide what she had to bring with here, whether it was a few pictures, or an envelope of birth certificates, or one apparatus or another. So, we received the assignment of filling a paper backpack with everything we would take with us if we had to leave FOREVER…
Additionally, we were asked to create a hero essay about who we think deserves the most glory. Here is mine!
Here is a picture of the book about a whole bunch of water!
