Once upon a right now, there is a class called Room 20. This class has been reading the Whale Rider. The Whale Rider is a book by Whiti Ihimaera. It's about a girl called Kahu, and is based around the legend of Paikea. I don't really like this book, because I don't really like stories that focus on a certain culture and you can't talk about these books easily without saying something wrong and getting an entire culture mad at you. Other than that, it's a good book. It's funny, well written and learning the tiny bits of Maori in the book is fun. There isn't really much else I can say, so goodbye. =D
