In the fourth grade we are reading a novel. It is about  family who moves to Germany to Texas. They have to face some really tough challenges. Along the way they lose some family and friends. My favorite part is when the little girl Mina gets a horse named Tucan. Tucan means black as night.This is my favorite part, because,I love animals,and I’ve always wanted a horse. We have read two of the books. Paradise Called Texas and Willow Creek Home.We are just about to read a Spirit of Iron. This is one of my favorite novels. My least favorite part was when Mina got a baby brother. At first she was jealous. Her Papa said “No one could replace you in my heart Mina.” Mina is a very strong and brave little girl. Mina has a best friend named Anna.Mina and Anna both lived in Germany.They traveled to Texas together with their family. They had very hard times. They struggledwith hard tasks. It was a dangerous trip. They survived it,and made it to their land. They live in Willow Creek. It’s notthat tough anymore. Although they still have to go to school, and learn English.It has It has been a good,hard adventure. I think they will live the rest of their life in Pardise in Willow Creek Texas.
