  1. Hi Ruby

    Great job with your answers about these chapters. You must be really enjoying all the great activities that Miss Hines has for you to complete around this book. I enjoyed reading this book but could never bring myself to watch the movie. I still haven't seen it even though I read the book quite a few years ago.! Keep up the awesome work! :)
