Book Talk

        The book I am currently reading is Small As An Elephant by Jennifer Jacobson. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. Small As An Elephant is about an 11-year-old boy named Jack and his mother. Jack and his mother are on a camping trip in Acadia National Park in Maine. Jack wakes up one morning and realizes his mother is gone. Jack refuses to tell anyone, he'd rather solve this case himself. He has no company but a plastic elephant by his side.
        So far this book is very exciting but also confusing. It's exciting because Jack is on mission to find his mother. It's also very confusing because I don't understand why would a mother do this to her 11-year-old child. I've made some assumptions and guesses. I can't wait to find out why and what happens towards the end of the book.
        I liked this book because the summary of the book in back caught my attention and the title is unique. What I remember most about the book was that Jack has no one but this small plastic elephant that he adores so much. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers because this book isn't as challenging, but it's still very interesting and attention grabbing. I recommend this book to you guys because I feel that you'll enjoy it as much as I have been so far. This book has a lot of plot twists that you wouldn't expect.
