You are now going to read a fiction book about space that I have assigned you on the Epic reading site by clicking the image below. Remember to check your mailbox if the book does not appear on the screen.

Main Task

After reading your book you are going to write a book review. Think about where the story took place (setting) and who were the main characters.

Then think about what the main thing that happened was at the beginning (first), middle, (next) and the end (last) of the story.

Draw some pictures showing who was in the story, where they were and what happened too.
