in your notebook.
Mrs. LaRue isn’t just the church secretary; she’s also one of the organizers of the blueberry festival.
Mrs. LaRue is the one who took took Lily’s money for the booth. She seemed really surprised that Lily wanted to have a booth. Probably because most kids wouldn’t do something like this. This says something about the kind of person Lily is compared to others in her community. Or maybe it’s because Lily’s grandparents have a business.
Mrs. LaRue says she gave her an “extra good spot.” I wonder why.

This makes me think Lily is embarrassed about how much she has. It sounds like there isn’t anything, but to Salma who lives in a camp with a shared kitchen and has no room of her own, it is a very big deal.
I wonder is Lily being considerate here?
“There’s not much to see,” I said.�
This reader was on page 77. They go back to page 76, count one line down from the top of the page, write the line, and then write about it.
“
I imagined that little bit of extra brave as a beach stone, small and hard and smooth-worn.
This small, worn and solid object has gone through difficult times but it’s still there. Is this like Lily? Does this give her hope? Strength? It’s something to hold on to when times get tough or scary. Perhaps this symbolizes something? smooth too - all the rough edges are worn off. What could that mean? Symbolic?
If you pull a wild card, choose whatever line you like!
Then Write long about it!
