Through The couple of week we have been reading a book could The Mines afire and we haven't finished it all but we are near the end of the book. But Yesterday we had the writer come in and talk about the book of mine afire and we got to ask some questions as well. It was interesting to hear that basically the whole book is true. My class wanted to know if it was true or not if the older kids put the younger ones in the curtains and heaved them through the windows. But now days I don't think school kids do that now. I am happy that I got to find out a lot of information about the book And about herself. You should go read the book yourself It has a lot of detail from what happened back in the day.
