Book review

In The Can By  Christopher Stitt

Illustrator Ian Forss

This genre is fiction and it is about relationships.

The story takes place in a primary school in Australia .  
We know this because at the front of the book Christopher
Stitt shouted out to the schools that helped him write it.

The main character are Calvin and Lewis. Lewis is the boy
who asks Kate to the dance. Kate is most popular girl in the
school. Calvin is Lewis’ friend. I think the characters ages are 12-13.

The boy, Lewis, goes and asks the beautiful girl in school to
the dance. He gets rejected and he runs away and hides in a
shed where the school puts all their old stuff. Lewis crawls
under all of the old desks. He was sitting feeling sad when
he heard something buzzing. Lewis pulled down the cover.

It was a vending machine, it had cold drinks in it. He
thought in his head, “I wonder if it still works?” He put in penny...
Cluck! Bang! the drink falls down and it was a cool cola. He
skulled back his drink then he looked in the reflection of the
vending machine.
“I think the drinks made me cool!”
He walks past the girl that he likes and the girl looks up at him.
She notices him…

divisible rules for 3 .6 .9

Divisibility Rules

A number is divisible by 6 if the digits in the number add to multiple of 3 and
original number was even

E.G. 24612 adds to 2+4+6+1+2=fifteen

A number is divisible by 9 if the digits add up to multiple of 9   

E.g. 125325 adds to

1+2+5+3+2+5

=18  so it is a multiple of nine and can be divided by 9

A number is divisible by 3 if the digits in the number add
to a multiple of 3.  

E.g. 231 = 2+3+1=6 and six is a multiple of 3
