      Thunder Cakes. The book was really good. Patricia was really scared of thunder. Patricia observed the thunder and how many miles away the thunderstorm was. They had to gather eggs,milk,chocolate,strawberries, over ripe tomato and butter. They tried to get the cake finished in time.

        I thought this book was really sad at the end when the author is talking about how her Grandparents have all passed away. I didn't really cry, but there was a piece of dust that got in my eye and made it water.
