Did you ever read the book about a lot drama relationship? Well if you haven’t today is your lucky day. The author is Lara Bergen and she wrote this book “I’ve Got a Secret”. Two girls, Amanda and Allie have the same secret over a boy (John) when there are lots of boys to like. The two girls go through lots of drama of the secret in the middle of the book but in the end only one of them like him. The part I like most is when they had a Multiplication Dance. It is when a couple goes up on stage and when the music stops you go off stage. A boy pulled a girl up on stage and she didn’t want to go up but you have to. My most favorite was the whole book. I had asked my sister if she had liked it and she said, “It was so AWESOME”. It had thoughtful thoughts about the friendship relationship. If you read this book I would be proud but hopefully you get a chance to read some of this book.
October 1st, 2008 at 11:13 am
I read probably the world’s best book…
If you were a sci-fi fanatic like me you would want to read the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. When you get your hands on this book wont want to take them off! Because it will take you on a time warping improbability driven adventure in space DON’T PANIC! Because everything is exciting. Panic is used a lot in this great book, when the book is read it’s not always logical to a person who doesn’t read fantasy (unlike me). My favorite quote I MAGRATHEA, MAGRATHEA! It the part when Zaphod finds the hidden planet named Magrathea home to the planet builders. So, when you read it get your robot to make you some juice and kick-back and let the auto pilot do the work while you read.

Have you ever read a Japanese story about a teenage samurai? Well here is a novel about that. This honorable teenage samurai just found out that his daimyo and now is trying to solve the mystery of which ninja or person killed this daimyo.

Then join Seikei on new adventures like the book called the Demon in the teahouse or The Ghost in the Tokaido inn. I am stuck to this interesting Japanese story.

Do you remember freshman year? Did you would hang out with your girlfriends/boy friends/boyfriend and talk? Do you ever think of those years? If you don’t, let me take you back in time to see or remember those days!!
In the book Alice Alone by Phyllis Naylor, Alice is a freshman in high school and gets’ scared sometimes and intimidated by the girls. What is she scared about? You tell me.
Did you get tied up into drama at school with friends or your enemies? Alice does, she always does. Either with friends, ENEMIES,or her boyfriend.
When did you ever read a drama, comedy, and maybe even a realistic story? Well, if you want to read one, this is the perfect book! It has drama as a genre because everyone has drama with somebody. It is comedy because she says stuff a little immature and maybe stuff inappropriate. And it is realistic because it has stuff that happens to girls in real life.
I think this book is better off read by girls. What do you think? Tell me when you read the book, and see if you agree.

Do you like books that have traditions and every day stuff. You haven’t. Well I am going to tell you about one and that book is Pacific Crossing. You should read this book because it crosses the Pacific Ocean to Japan. Also it tells you good reasons why you should learn a second language now so in high school you could take that class and have an advantage. Lastly you should read this book because it tells about these boys who got chosen to go to Japan by there teachers and the principal but there is one problem the air fair is $600 and sometimes they can’t even pay for the bus. If you are curios on how they pull it off go to the library and go borrow it from the honor shelf.

Ahhhhhh! Wait its just mummies, what MUMMIES! I read a Goosebumps book, “The Curse of the Mummy”. This book is great for anyone who likes to read about mummies. Even if you don’t particularly care or even like to read about mummies, this book is fascinating, frightening, funny, exciting, and there is some parts of the book that you won’t be able to stop reading, there are also parts that you feel your heart is about to explode because it’s just so scary, that it will make you want to read another book about mummies or another Goosebumps book, because it gets you into the book so you can picture every scene in your mind. That is how descriptive it is. Sometimes while reading this book you’ll feel sorry for the characters, other times you will want to jump for joy because you feel so happy for them. I will give a little preview of the book.
A boy who has always imagined going into a pyramid and studying mummies, goes with his spoiled girl cousin, who always gets what she wants and constantly tries to scare him. They get caught by a curse, and a creepy man tries to fulfill the curse, but where is his archeologist uncle? Now you must read the book to see what the curse is and if they will live to tell their story. Now don’t you want to stand up if you were sitting of course, and make a dash to the nearest library and take out Goosebumps “The Curse of the Mummy”. If not then whatever, I don’t know what the heck is wrong with you, but I think you might have to read this again. ☺

Well you better start reading this book because L8R G8R is a book you’ll never want to put down.

She is a goody to shoes with the perfect grades. Lastly, Angela; the girly girl that never lifts a finger. You are probably wondering how they stay best friends? Well you’ll have to read this book to find out.
To me L8R G8R is a great book to read when you are having problems and don’t know what to do. Whenever I have a problem with a friend and don’t know how to deal with it, I can always get good advise from this book. If you feel the same way I did, L8R G8R by Lauren Myracle is the book for you

OMG! This book is awesome! I hope it’s a series because couldn’t stop reading it. You’ve got to read The Cat Ate My Gymsuit. It’s the best book I’ve EVER read and if you didn’t read it yet, what have you been doing all your life, reading “magazines”? You were? Well, not anymore, as soon as you read this book you can’t stop, it’s like no other book in the world. It’s: unique because it’s creative, funny because of the characters, dramatic because of the problems, and sad because of how Marcy is treated. This book is perfect for you people who like a dramatic genre. I would more recommend this book to girls but I’m sure some of you guys would like it. I mean, I am a guy.
This book is also very inspirational for children because the lesson in this book is a lesson mostly about school popularity and how it’s not all that and how it’s best to be who you are and not who you want to be or what your friends do. Me, I don’t really care about popularity because I have friends that accept me for who I am and believe me or not, this book inspired myself too. I know what your thinking, it probably sounds like a hallmark card or something but it’s true, this book really has inspired me, so the next time you go to the library check out The Cat Ate My Gymsuit. Please!

When was the last time that you read a book that had to do with a couple that never met till their marriage? During the month of September I read a book that I just couldn’t put down, for the first time in my life I actually wanted to finish a book that I started. The author makes this book interesting by using metaphors, such as “And a life, like a beautiful tapestry, comes together for koley-one stitch at a time.” This metaphor shows that Koley likes to stitch things that tell stories about her life. This totally original book I called “Homeless Bird” written by Gloria Whelan. Koley is a poor Indian girl that works at her house doing chores everyday. Koley has many brothers and if you want see how the restof her life comes to a terrible, exciting ending red this great book.

Has there ever been a book that made you laugh so much and you just had to keep reading it over and over again? I have one, called The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) written by Roald Dahl. One thing I like about Roald Dahl is that in every book he writes different lesson to teaches you about, and he gets so creative throughout every book he writes. This book has everything you would never imagine it has mystery, wonder, and things that will be so meaningful that you will never ever for get it. This book will inspire you to read all of Roald Dahl’s other books. Some people ask what makes the BFG so friendly, well unlike the other giants who eat all the kids the BFG gives dreams to them and try to make them happy or what dream they deserve to get. The BFG will bring you into a land of mystery and wonder for example (Trust me don’t be scared of me cause I’m a friendly giant I’m not like all the others).
What happens when you’re watching your favorite TV show? It makes you feel like your really there right! That what this book makes me feel and even though I’ve read so many times I always have that same feeling over and over again. This book is so outrageous there’s noting close to it. This book teaches you an important lesson witch is one, do good things and good things happen to you and two, it doesn’t matter how big or small, you are you just need to stick up for your self. If you haven’t read this book already you just got to pick it up. If you have read this book already then you need to read other Roald Dahl books cause they will be such a mystery and I know that cause every book he writes is a mystery. It was an inspiring book and I hope that you find it inspiring just like I do every time I read it.

Has there ever been a book that made you laugh so much and you just had to keep reading it over and over again? I have one, called The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) written by Roald Dahl. One thing I like about Roald Dahl is that in every book he writes different lesson to teaches you about, and he gets so creative throughout every book he writes. This book has everything you would never imagine it has mystery, wonder, and things that will be so meaningful that you will never ever for get it. This book will inspire you to read all of Roald Dahl’s other books. Some people ask what makes the BFG so friendly, well unlike the other giants who eat all the kids the BFG gives dreams to them and try to make them happy or what dream they deserve to get. The BFG will bring you into a land of mystery and wonder for example (Trust me don’t be scared of me cause I’m a friendly giant I’m not like all the others).
What happens when you’re watching your favorite TV show? It makes you feel like your really there right! That what this book makes me feel and even though I’ve read so many times I always have that same feeling over and over again. This book is so outrageous there’s noting close to it. This book teaches you an important lesson witch is one, do good things and good things happen to you and two, it doesn’t matter how big or small, you are you just need to stick up for your self. If you haven’t read this book already you just got to pick it up. If you have read this book already then you need to read other Roald Dahl books cause they will be such a mystery and I know that cause every book he writes is a mystery. It was an inspiring book and I hope that you find it inspiring just like I do every time I read it.

If someone actually sprinted with the power of their soul and their life on their shoulders…… they’d be legend. Of course that is what happened, Maniac was legend but I’m talking real world. When I say Maniac I mean the legendary running boy, 3 different homes when he thought he had none. The story of life as a runaway, tells everything you love, you’ll just have to read it when you pick it up.
“Maniac Magee” is a novel that is passionately wrote not from the brain but from the heart. The sentences have a beat to it hat is so unique that the words alone could never be written that way again. The author is the way the book caught my eye, the name was familiar and when I read it I could tell it was my favorite author from before. It painted pictures in my head and I just felt like I was in the book. Stories like this always wrap around you while your reading. It’s like, almost like magic. Feelings are spread throughout the page and once you get them, it is magic. And to add on top of that, his parents are dead but he is living upwards, his life is more than his home, right?

It’s one of the most adventurous and mysterious books in the world! Its setting is in the Middle Ages, and all over the land of Alageasia. It keeps you stuck to this book like cement, and it’s so addicting like nicotine.

But if you think this book is awesome and breathe taking, you should read the whole series. It’s only the 2nd book in the series of 3 books. This book sends chills down your spine!

Jackie and Me
By Dan Gutman
How would you like to have the magic power to travel back into time? I know that I’d love to be able to do that. To bad I’m not Joe Stoshack. Joey can travel back into time, but he doesn’t use a magic time machine. Instead he uses baseball cards. He can travel back into time to meet great baseball players, such as BABE RUTH! Also Jackie Robinson and he probably will.
When Joey has to write an essay about African Americans that made an impact on America, he is excited to see that Jackie Robinson (the first African American to play the wonderful game of baseball) is an approved option to write about.
This book is a must to read for all of you sports fans out there. When you pick this book up you’ll never put it down. You’ll take it to dinner and grandma’s house. Then when your mom sees you reading she’ll be so glad but she will say “ Enough reading put that book down and eat your dinner!” This book is so good that you might forget to breathe. Remember in, out, in, out. This book will make you laugh and learn more about the history of baseball.
You can find this book at Borders near the children’s section in the back. Dan Gutman is the author of this book so you can check if the public library downtown has it. Also you can check our school library for the book. There are more books about Joey and his amazing time travels. To find out what happen to Joey and his essay of Jackie Robinson, read Dan Gutman’s Jackie and Me. I hope you like this book if you read it book.

One of my most favorite stories is New Jersey, the Devil in the Dark. This story is about a girl named Edna who had to do a history report for her social studies class as homework. Edna decided to do a history report other than Paul Revere, or George Washington because that was what most of her classmates were going to do their report on, so she decided to do her report on the New Jersey Devil. She asked anyone who she knew who might know about the New Jersey Devil. She Finally came across a fortune teller who knew a lot about the New Jersey Devil. Legend has it that a lady gave birth to thirteen children the last child she gave birth to was a red child with a spiked tale and resembled a horse like snout. The devil then flew away through an open window. Many years later the woman saw the devil again this time flying in the sky. Mezmorized she stopped in her tracks and was about to be snatched by the beast until her father shot the beast in its back. Screetching in pain it flew away. After the interview Edna asked The woman if she was into witchcraft. The woman said yes. She said that the woman was her great grandmother! Edna was freaked out she left the place where the fortune teller lived. She went to school the next day and got an B, because her teacher thought it was a tall tale.
Go to your local library and check if they have this wonderful book. Don’t miss your chance to read this book, it is one of my favorite books and I hope it becomes one of yours.

If you read this story it will literally knock you over board. 20,000 leagues under the sea is a really interesting book that will be really hard to put down. It would be like Nicotine. That is truly addictive.
In this story there is a lot of adventure. A scientist is really interested in what he is seeing.
There are a lot of new discoveries found by the captain and his crew. Sometimes they are magnets for disaster. It is sad but, the sea or the anger of someone kills a couple of the members of the crew.
It isn’t always what it seems to you but sometimes it is worse.
