This was my book that I read for this week in Mrs Parkers literacy group, we had to do a tic tac toe then share it with a buddy, then write a book review about it.

Interesting Facts

The interestingest fact for this book was that going on a trip was to explore, make new friendship, and most importantly exploring is lonely when you are by yourself, it can also be scary, without a friend or someone beside you. It stood out for me from the conclusion he/the explorer made it was a really good ending and talked about how it was to go around the NZ coastline and what he learned throughout this trip.

Summary

Who : The boy/explorer
What : He was going on a trip around the coastline of NZ.
When : When he was 19 years old it took him 600 days, started on the first of February 2013.
Where : Around the coastline of NZ North and South Islands
Why : Because he wanted to challenge himself and turn his life around to make it better.




Your Sincerely
