  1. The book i am reading is "Wilma Tenderfoot the case of the frozen hearts. It is about a girl Wilma who lived at the Institute for Woeful Children for 10 years and at 10, she was taken to the farside of town and started working for Mrs Waldock. Wilma always wanted to be a detective and Theodore P. Goodman, a famous detective is her insperation. I think the theme is perserverance because even though Theodore P. Goodman told her to leave, she never gave up and kept coming back and trying to help solve the case. I really like the book and am about to finish soon C.N.

  3. Mrs Sutton I would like to confer with you about "Wilma Tenderfoot the case of the frozen hearts", By Emma Kennedy. I think the theme is perserverance because Wilma never gave up on Theodore P. Goodman even though he kept telling her to leave when she kept coming back. I also think this because Theodore P. Goodman never gave up on Wilma.
