The Winter Dance

By Emmet

Around twice a year the school hosts dances for kids 6-8th to attend. Typically the dances are at 6:00-6:30 and last 2 hours. This year, Beaubien has already held their annual Halloween dance, and now its time for the Winter dance. On Friday, February 28th, the Winter dance took place. Students needed to turn in a signed permission slip, and $5. If paying at the door, the cost was bumped up to $7! Once the dance started the doors shut, and no one gets in or out. Kinda scary right? Well, the dance overall is the highlight of the year for most kids, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone else.

Book Review

By Kim

WARNING: This manga will be a lot about Jesus and Buddha and their journey to earth, if you are really strict about your religion or don’t want to see Jesus and Buddha together, please scroll to a dif erent book review, don’t read then say bad things about it, Thank you!!!

---------------------------

Imagine one day when Jesus and Buddha suddenly became roommates in an apartment in Tachikawa, a part of the suburbs of Tokyo. While enjoying their vacation on Earth, they had to hide their identities as normal citizens and to understand modern Japanese society. Their everyday life shows us how ordinary they are. They travel to different places, go shopping, buy groceries, play video games or even blogging. In this journey, they will face a lot of unusual situations so let’s dive into this book, it will be a long journey! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Jesus and Buddha became roommates with each other? Then this would be a good book for you! Saint Young Men or Saint Oniisan which was supposed to originally be Saint Old Men or Saint Ojisan instead, is a manga made by Hikaru Nakamura, it is also one of the manga that made her famous. It is an amazing slice of life manga. This manga even portrayed them with personalities, like how Jesus is excited to do anything and showed how he loves everything, while Buddha is a calm person who enjoys drawing manga (back in heaven, he used sand to draw manga). This manga also has a live action show, and an anime series. If you enjoy comedy and piece of life shows, this is for you!

**Some thoughts of mine: Animators should make more than two episodes and a movie (for the anime series), I really really want some more because it has been more than ten years already and there are literally 21 volumes so I don’t see why not hehe :>**

Fun fact!

When buying the hardcover of the manga, on the first page, you’ll be greeted with a tutorial on how to read manga (Japanese styled comics) It will be really convenient for you and other people too (you just basically read from right to left!).

Book Review

Shreya

Today I am going to be reviewing the book Restart. It is a book about Chase Ambrose, the worst bully at Hiawassee middle school. He fell off the roof of his house, and he got amnesia. Chase used to be the football hero of Hiawassee middle school, but because of his head injury he can’t play. He joins the video club, which he and his friends used to call “dorks”. He decides he likes it, but his friends, Aron and Bear, don’t. This is a story about fresh starts and trusting your judgement.

I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because I think the author could have written more about characters other than Chase Ambrose, but other than that I recommend this book!

Beaubien Library

Recommendations

By Simona

Long books- for long books I would recommend the Keepers of the Lost Cities series. The first book is 496 pages long and the books just keep on getting longer.

Short books- For short books I would recommend the Choose Your Own Path books. There are a lot of options, and some of the books are based after wars, while others are based on fantasy creatures .

Short comics- For short comics I would recommend “Phoebe and Her Unicorn.” Now this is more for 1st through 4th grade but hey if you want to read it when you're older we listen and we don’t judge.

Long comics- For long comics I would recommend “texting books.” These types of books are text messages written by different characters. One example is titled, “TBH, You Know What I mean,” by Lisa Greenwald. I would also recommend Click, and if you like that look for the rest of the books in that series.

Sci-fi books - For sci-fi books I would recommend Area 51 Files. It's a fun alien book that you better clear your day for because it’s going to devour you..

Horror books- I would recommend the Girl in White and Scritch Scratch. And to be honest I would recommend reading anything by Lindsay Currie if you like horror.
