Patience Smith
Jenna Keith
The Des Arc High School library has named the two students to receive the star patron awards for the month of March. The winners of the “Keep Calm & Read On” digital bookmark/reading timer and the Star Patron pen/stylus are Patience Smith and Jenna Keith. Patience is a sophomore. Her favorite book, All Fall Down, is by her favorite author, Ally Carter. Patience says that the book setting of All Fall Down is where she would like to go. In this book “they are around a bunch of embassies from different countries and an American girl goes to visit her grandpa. She ends up chasing down her mom’s killer. It’s so mysterious and that’s why I liked it.” The best book she has ever read is the book of Proverbs in the Bible. “It highlights all that a woman should be and how a Godly woman should act.” Jenna is a freshman. She selected the Maximum Ride series as her favorite “book” by her favorite author, James Patterson. Jenna says she would transport herself to New York where the Maximum Ride series takes place. She wants to go there “to see how big the Big Apple is and also see the Statue of Liberty.” For the best book she has ever read Jenna selected Dogs of Winter, by Bobbie Pyron. She says it is “because I can compare myself with the boy in the book with some of my experiences.”
