the Thief and the Beanstalk

      I am sure you have all heard of Jack and the Beanstalk but do you know what happened after?The book is called the Thief and the Beanstalk by P. W Catanese. This book is so far about this thief called finch and a group of bandits, they hear the stories and the stories tell them where jack lives who is from Jack and the Beanstalk. The plan is to get into the house to steal all of Jack gold but they need a small person who can scale the walls. This is when a poor homeless kid named nick comes in. Nick was a kid who lived on the streets most of his life and would do anything for a hot meal. Finch finds him scavenging for food so he takes him in to test his skills in trade for a hot meal and a spot in the gang.
      The main character who is Nick reminds me of Wade because he is a bony but strong kid and a lot of bravery. I can also connect with him because in the book we are pretty close to the same age and think a lot the same and have the same ideas. A scene in the book reminds me of my self when he is in the walls of Jacks fortress he get caught by Jack and thinks it is the end of the world and when I get caught I also believe that it is the end of the world for me. When I was little I got into a big pickle and luckily my parents were super sweet about it just like the book.
      One of the major things that keeps me interred is all of the suspense in every page that makes me want to keep reading. When I started to read this book I began to think it was going to be a bad choice but after the first 40 pages this book got interesting fast. I observed that this book has changed my interests for reading. One part hat made me feel sad is when his talking about how he is talking     about his parents and can't even remember his own parents. I highly recommend his book and this is personally one of my most favorite reads.
