WHAT'S THE HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Ms. Welker,
I am reading Hardy Boys, The Tower Treasure by Franklin W. Dixon. This book is about solving mysteries. The title of the chapter is The Holdup. I made a prediction before I started to read. My prediction is that there is going to be a hold up somewhere. There were these questions that would not leave my mind. The first question was, where will the hold up take place? The second question that would not leave my mind was, what was being held up? The answer to the first question is, at a car dealership. The answer to the second question is, yes, it was an auto thief. Frank and Joe are asking a farmer if he saw the auto thief. But the farmer is not giving them a straight answer. After asking a lot of people, one guy finally told Frank and Joe that he saw the yellow car and the thief. The thief told the guy not to tell anyone, but he told Frank, Joe and the workers instead. After reading for awhile, I came to a word I did not know. The word is companions. I asked my dad and he said it meant friends or co-workers. I think Frank and Joe are very brave to try and catch the thief. It is also very cool.

  1. Alyssa,

    After I read your post I was wondering about your questions. It seems like you are asking your question BEFORE you read. I would like you to include questions you ask WHILE you read, especially those that help you understand what you are reading. Try that next time! :)
