"After Tomorrow" by Gillian Cross

This novel is about a society run by criminals. The story is based on a family that live in a tragic environment. Matt and Taco are the main characters whose lives changes due to getting robbed. They are in a situation where they face life or death. They have the option to escape or stay.

The main themes of the story are about survival, victims and justice. It's about living in a bad society without laws. It is not that hard to read, and you can look up definitions of the words you don't understand. I should try to use some of the words in my everyday conversations but some of these words are hard to use everyday.

 I haven't finished reading the book but I think they will end up leaving if the same situation happens again.

Blogging Guidelines

Each week we would like you to post to this blog. Your audience is other students from your school's R3 group as well as some from other schools in the diocese. Your teacher and other R3 teachers will read and may comment on your blogs posts. It would be great if you could even comment on other students' posts.

What should we blog about?

• Tell your readers about something you have been reading this week (either in the group or your own free choice reading).

• Also share what you are learning about yourself as a reader and things you are working on to improve your reading.
