BOOKS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY!
Hi Blakers, As you may have noticed, our school is celebrating Project Happiness this year. Happiness can be felt in many different ways - not just by laughing or giggling. Giving all you have in an athletic competition, eating a healthy and delicious meal with family or friends, helping you parents clean-up after a meal, or calling an old friend you haven't spoken with in a while, can all make you feel a sense of happiness.
The same can be said about the books we read. Happiness can come from much more than comic books (not that they can't also make you happy).
Here's how different books make some Blake students happy:
Finch Sullivan

good friends.
