Bar Code Tattoo (last part) spoiler alert!!

    Yes, I did a blog on this already but The Bar code tattoo is probably the best book I will ever read. Kayla, as you know,  ran away from Zelek and Nedra, thank god, and now she is with Eutonah. Eutonah was a girl that was apart of the decode relationship. Sadly the decode's were separated. Some people got caught or ran away. Mfumbe got in prison from stealing a thermometer from a store. Dumb mistake! Kayla had to run for her life that day. The police almost got her but she quickly got into the woods and she met Eutonah. Living there with her Kayla has to be very careful of who she trusts. Amber is Kayla's friend that has a barcode. Kayla is wanted, but she doesn't know that when she emails to Amber it will track down where Kayla is. To email without a computer there is a post man. Messages are sent from post man to post man. Luckily it gets to Amber just in time.

  All in all we don't know what comes next. We just hope that Kayla will be safe and sound. Good luck!!

Barcode Tattoo

    For my book club book I am reading the Bar-code Tattoo. It is not the fairytale book that you would want to read. Its different its sci-fi. Kayla is the main character. This takes place in 2025. Now, I know that 2025 is a long time from now but we still have to dream it and create it. I cannot even think what will happen in 2025. But at least time is slow!! Kayla's father died. Not so happy moment. HE committed suicide in their bathroom. It was because of the bar-code. Kayla doesn't know why this happened. She doesn't have a bar-code tattoo. She is never going to get one. Almost everyone at her high school have one. But there is one group that is against it. They are called the decodes. No difference. Its really sad because now the doctors are injecting the bar-code tattoos on the new born babies foots! This sounds to depressing. If you like sci-fi than you can read it. But I've been getting long time nightmares so its up to you! This is my post for Sunday!

Little White Duck

 

      I recently read a graphic novel on a girl from China that noticed that the world isn't one big happy world. There a kids starving. Or children with no water to bath them in. Its a very touching novel that puts you in a timeline of life were you thought of everything being normal. The main character Liu Na. But her given name is Da Qin which translates to big piano. She has a little sister named xiao qin which means little piano. This school day is pretty sad. Its the day that yen yen (grandpa) dies. Da qin doesn't know who it is but she thinks its her actual grandfather. Everyone cries that day. No smiling no laughing echos down the streets just left memories of her yen yen.

    Later in the book Da qin goes to her fathers childhood town to visit her evil grandma. From her point of view grandma doesn't look nice. She's mean and grumpy.Nothing happy is happening in this town just children playing with dirt. Before the trip Da qin put a very nice jacket on that had a soft little white duck imprinted on it. Sadly her cousins in her fathers town ruined it buy spreading the dirt all over the duck. Now she feels diapponted because her jacket is filthy. She found out that her cousins cannot read but what she learned is how fast she an get dirty!

    All in all Da qin his still alive. She lives in Brooklyn with her daughter and husband. Shes happy as anyone can be. I would recommend this book to people that enjoy graphic novels. Habe a great SUNDAY!
