Cinfhen The first earth visit really shook that apple cart....I‘m not sure, who‘s to say change wouldn‘t have come about but the first visit 💯set that ball in motion @CatLass007 @Andrew65 6y
Cinfhen I found this reading section and the last one a little dry and not so easy to get through. But the last section & coda really was great and ultimately brought the book back up to a pick. Can‘t wait for final discussion and final thoughts @CatLass007 @Andrew65 6y

Cinfhen Conflict & war is never simple and NEVER about one thing...Sofia really began a revolution when she said “they are few, we/you are many” This was about MORE than achieving freedom, it was about dominance @CatLass007 @Andrew65 6y

Cinfhen Because of the book title, I assumed all the “children” would survive and they would ultimately “create” or bring about some kind of new world or change, so this move didn‘t surprise me. @CatLass007 @Andrew65 6y

Cinfhen I assumed Isaac just wanted to be left alone but I never feared for him, nor did I suspect he wouldn‘t want to return. I wasn‘t surprised that Ha‘anala went looking for him. @CatLass007 @Andrew65 6y

As was advertised by @SledgeReader and @Cinfhen at the end of the Buddy Read of The Sparrow we are looking to start the Buddy Read of the sequel, Children of God, in late August and September. We will post the schedule later today but are looking to start on Monday 20th August and hope you will join us. I think I have tagged in those who took part in The Sparrow but if I have missed anyone (😔) post a message below.

Please repost this message😊

Andrew65 @EadieB Actually 6 ! Also reading Circling The Sun, The Waste Lands and The Word is Murder! 😂😂 I know I am totally mad! Although will most probably finish Circling The Sun Sunday night. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 Amazing! 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB I like to make life difficult for myself but it does mean I read! 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I have confidence in knowing you will make it happen! 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB I‘m confident I can do it, especially as still on holiday. Although next week will be starting to produce the new School improvement Plan too. 6y
AmyG Thank you for tagging me, but I will have to pass. I still haven‘t finished The Sparrow. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 What are some of your ideas for school improvement? Have you thought about that yet? 6y
Andrew65 @AmyG Good luck with finishing The Sparrow 😊 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Know what the five main strands will be just need to put all the steps in, success criteria, etc. Will be 25 - 30 page document by the time I am finished but it means less time reading. 😡 (edited) 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 Wow! That‘s like writing a novella! 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Very much so, and also need to produce the self-evaluation document (10-15 boring pages) and my presentation for staff on the first day of term. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 When is your first day of term? 6y
Andrew65 Monday 3rd September. 6y
CarolynM No thanks, The Sparrow was more than enough for me 6y
Andrew65 @CarolynM 👍😊 6y
jmtrivera I would love to, but I'm not quite ready to go back to that world yet. Thanks for thinking of me though! 6y
