Soundtrack - Task 8



This is my 8th Task for our holiday reading challenge. The purpose of this challenge is for us students in PBS to keep in touch with our reading! In this task, I had to choose a song which describes the main characters feelings in the story. I chose: Thinking out Loud, by Ed Sheeran. I think that this song fits perfectly with this book because the song is calm and soft just like the book, Sickened.

The author of this book is - Elisabetta Dami. This book is also a adventurous story which can be very interesting for people who love to go on adventures. Have a read of this book! 



Sickened - Task 4


 In our school, we have holiday home reading challenges. This work is to keep us updated and ready for school again. I could create any kind of activity with this book. I chose to rewrite the story in a much interesting and detailed way than the original. This story is about a young 12 year old girl who has survived a rare sickness. It is also like a diary that was written a very long time ago. The author of this story is Julie Gregory. I recommend anyone older than 10 to read this book because it is easy and understandable.
