America Reads "Hade" Day

I have been trying to get this video to upload for a few days now, so I'm sorry for missing my Friday post. It is a video of me reading to my son Jaeden's sixth grade class from Hade's Gambit. The section I'm reading from is the chapter where Hade goes to the chemical plant in Brazil to blow it up, but not before he has some fun. We have since made a few small edits to this piece as we've been finishing it up, and I edited it just a bit for the audience. Although there isn't really anything in there that the average sixth grader couldn't read, this chapter, as a few others, are a bit violent. As Hade says at one point - you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. So, an example here is that Hade shoots a man with a Desert Eagle, and in the story it says he makes a hole the size of a cantelope in the man's chest, and here I think that just became "he shot him." But, this was a fun bit to read - it is one of my son's favorite parts, and to be honest, one of mine as well. One note - I shot this on a Flip camera, so it isn't the best, and I didn't have the resources to edit it very well, so the book starts about a minute in, and then it is goes until about nine minutes in, with a few minutes of questions at the end. Thanks to the sixth graders in the class, and for all the help from Prairie Creek Intermediate School. It was a great time. Enjoy watching!
