This year in fourth grade we have been reading a series of books called A Paradise Called Texas and Willow Creek Home . Most every chapter is about a girl named Mina, a girl who had tough times traveling around. There are other characters like Papa, Anna, Lissete, and Peter. Going to another country is tough without bravery and courage. My favorite part about A Paradise Called Texas is when the Indians and the Verein both argued about shooting a bear and the Verein ended up with it because Mina walked up. My favorite part about Willow Creek Home is when the 7 men went to the Verein with clubs to get food and supplies.
