hello
I havent written in my blog for about a month so this is what i’ve been doing.
We had 8ALIVE and we didn’t do anything very fun but we did go rockclimbing, that was okay. At the moment we are reading Alex, it’s not as good as Goodnigh Mister Tom but it’s okay. The book is about a girl who is 15 and she is one of New Zealands best swimmers. She wants to go to the 1960 olimpic games and her place is set untill a girl from singapore comes over to New Zealand and she is better than Alex. Alex keeps on training and traing but she can’t seem to beat her. Then her boyfriend dies and because he was a simmer as well she decideds that she is going to get into the olimpic games for him. She finishes the school year and starts to train harder and harder, then her love for the water and swimming comes back abit. The next time she meets Maggie in a race she wins. Thats as far as i gotten but after every chapter there is a page about the last race, the race that decided weather she gets into the games or not. As she swimes she talkes to Andy (her dead boyfriend) in her head. He helps her race and I don’t know weather she wins or not.
