Mr. Thatcher's Class

Welcome to our blog created and updated by a select group of students attending OMS. Our intent is to post book reviews written by students to provide a middle school child's perspective of novels. All postings are strictly written by students but are moderated by the supervising teacher, Mr. Thatcher. Comments are appreciated and are also moderated meaning some time may pass before they're posted. Thank You, Mr. Thatcher and Class
