Smiles to Go
For a while I was reading this book called "Smiles to Go" , and it is about this 7th grader who is basically telling a story about what his life is like being a middle school kid, having a annoying little sister, first "kiss", science geek, chess freak, pepperoni pizza eater, having a daredevil friend, in a disappearing universe. I think to understand this, you would have to read it, but it was still a really good book. It gets you thinking about enjoying life as you have it, and enjoy it while it lasts. Sorry this was a short response!

A Murder for Her Majesty
I'm in the middle of a book called A Murder for Her Majesty. This book is a action packed story about a girl named Alice Tuckfield. In the story her father's "friends" murder him while alice is in a tree above them. They are trying to hunt Alice down and kill her. Later on she finds herself on the streets of York where she meets the other main characters, Geoffrey Fisher, Nathanial Denhem, Randal, Orlando, Morris, and their house master, Dame Agnes. All the boys help her from being detected by the murderers of her father. Right now she has just been accepted into their choir and found out that the assistant dean is the master mind behind it all. Thats all I have to write about for now.
George's Marvelous Medicine
I am reading a book called George's Marvelous Medicine and it's A kid named George. His Grandma is a mean old lady that is very short. She's like that when there is no parent around to see her be that way. By the way she has this medicine that should help her be nice but it doesn't work at all. George is sick of her so hes going to make a new medicine for her. He goes around the house and finds anything that he can put in, face cream, hair remover, toothpaste. shampoo, lipstick, mustard powder, curry powder, dog pills, paint, etc. Cooking it up until it's bubbling then it done. Giving it to his grandma in her medicine bottle she was on fire and she grew and grew and grew until she was as tall as the ceiling but it didn't help her, she was still mean.
Wow that would be awesome to grow that high and you can see everything if your that high. You could be rich and sell that medicine for millions of dollars and if you do it on food it would end world hunger you could be millionare!!!

Mary Anne saves the day
I am reading a book called " Mary Anne saves the Day" it is in the babysitters Club series but in this one Mary Anne stands up for herself and tells the rest of the club to stop pushing her around and telling her what to do. So just because of that they every one got in a big fight with words but they weren't just mad at Marry Anne they were also mad at each other. And nobody knows what is go ing to happen to the club.

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LAST STRAW By Jeff Kinney
Dear Class,
I am reading the 4th book in the series Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This book starts out with the main character (Greg) helping his family members stick to their New Year resolutions.
His Mom: to go to the gym more.
His Dad: to stop eating junk food.
Rodrick (big brother): to stop bullying Greg (Greg’s idea.)
Manny (little brother): to stop using his pacifier.
Greg gave up on helping his family with their resolutions real easily. I wonder why Greg even tried helping his family with their New Year’s resolutions.
Now Greg wants to build a time capsule. His best friend, Rowley, put most of his Christmas presents in the time capsule to show the people that open it in the future how “cool” his stuff was. Greg didn’t want to put his presents in there because they were not “cool” enough. On the box he used for the time capsule, he put a note saying that the money he had out in it was to be returned to him, and then he added not to open until they had invented a time machine.
My connection to Greg helping his family with something is my sister and I helping each other with soccer but normally it works out. I predict that no one will find Greg’s time capsule.

Deeper
Dear class,
I am now reading deeper by Roderick Gordan and Brian Williams. It is the sequel to tunnels.
So far Will, Chester and Cal are on a train riding underground seeing magical views, going threw water falls, and hitting bumps. They are trying to get down to the town below to see if wills father is there. He has been missing for weeks!
I don't think they are going to find wills father because there is another book after deeper. I wounder if something bad happens in the under ground town to lead to were Will's father is. I could see the train going threw the waterfall and everybody getting soaked. I would not want to go underground because if the rocks fall they could hurt/kill you. This book starts were the other book left off. i would recommend this book to people who like adventure and action

Goosebumps Horrorland: Who's Your Mummy?
I am reading Goosebumps Horrorland: Who's Your Mummy? by R.L Stine. In the book so far Abby Martin and Peter are warned not to go near their Uncle's house because of the mummys at night but thats not all they should be worried about their uncle more than the mummies when they find out that their uncle isn't their uncle.
I think i am more like Abby and Peter because i am always curios about what goes on.
Thank you for your time.

The storys about a family and they live near a stream and a man named Finn Learson come's along and claims that he survied a shipwreak during a bad storm. Old da and the family let Finn Learson stay at there house and live with them, and in return Finn Learson gives them a rare gold coin.
Later on in the story Old da dies of old age and right before he died he told Robbie his youngest grandson not to trust Finn Learson. At Old Da's grave the family has a tradition of laying the dead body on a straw bed and burn the bed and a foot print shows after the flames die out and the foot print tells which member of the fmaily is next to die. The foot print is Elspeth's, she's Robbie's older sister. Elspeth is very upset!
Robbie is trying too figure out why old da said not to trust finn learson, he just cant put it all together. But then robbie goes in the boat like he and old da did ever year to go sail out into the goe and count the slekies. selkies are like seals and Robbie always dreamed of picking up a selkie pup to see what a slekie feels like. When Robbie arived he picked up a selkie and it felt warm and soft. Robbie sails away to the other part of the goe. Robbie stands up in the boat and trys to count the toher slekie pups. He falls out of the boat and into the deap water but doesn't know how to swim. Robbie see's a person, its finn learson! Finn Learson dives into the deap water and pulls Robbie to the boat. Then they sail back home and Robbie tells Nicol, Elspeths boyfreind everything that happened and how Finn Leason felt like a selkie.
Im predicing Finn Learson is a selkie!!

bearwalker
I am still reading the Bearwalker. It gets scary the closer you get to the ending. so far they think that Mr.Mack is the bearwalker because his teeth are starting to get sharper. And every time you see him he is coming out of the woods. Baron and Mr. Wilbur are getting very suspicious about him but nobody believes what they say. And they are all in trouble because they are in the woods with Mr. Mack. I really can't want until I can get to the end of this book. I do think that this Mr. Mack guy is a little not normal It feels like they need to start listening to Baron and Mr. Wilbur.

The Mysterious Benedict Society
I have been reading the book The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. It is about 4 kids that go on an adventure to an island. But before that they must past tests. For Reynie, the main character, all but one of these tests were easy from the start. The first test was just like a regular test with some odd questions. For example, one of the questions was Are you brave? Reynie answered probably the best answer: I hope so. The second test was the one he had trouble on. Nobody knew it, but it was a puzzle. The quesetions were impossible! But then he figured out the question 21 was the answer to #1, 22 to #2, and so on. He finished the test just as the "teacher" (Reynie thought she looked just like a pencil with her yllow pants, yellow shirt, red hair and pink shoes) said "Stop, the test taking period is now over." Reynie was the only one who passed.
So then Reynie got to go on a secret mission. Mr.Beneict was his "master" and told him what to do. There were 3 other kids on his team, Contance, Sticky, and Kate. They went to an island to defeat the evil man, who was broadcasting thoughts into people's head so they would obey him. They also have to defeat men who use office supplies as weapons!
I recomend this book if you enjoy mystery. It is officially my favorite book for sure!

Who Stole Halloween
Dear Class,
This week I have been reading a book called Who stole Halloween by Martha Freeman. If you have read my prior posts, you would know that in this book is about a boy and his friends are trying to find a missing cat. They found a flyer on a tombstone that said missing cat and they went to the owner’s house to find more information. Now they have found clues like cat food and a reciept on the road that looked like it was going to one of the suspect’s house.
"I wonder if the cat napper is going to steal Laua next?" and “Is the cat napper a girl or a boy?" One way I compare to Alex is that I once had a cat with stripes and he does.I also love solving mysteries just like him. I predict that when they find out who the cat napper is they will see that that person had been standing right under their nose the whole time and they didn't even notice.

The Babysitters Club
Connection: When I was babysitting my baby cousin over his house he was a really big pain but I didnt really want to tell him because he would begin to cry and that made him even more annoying!
Reaction: My reaction while I was reading this book was surprised that a Friend would be so jealous of there best friend
Opinion: In my opinion I think Stacy is way too laid back and she doesn't really talk that much
Prediction: I predict that Stacy's friends will figure out her secret sooner or later and get mad that she didn't tell them
Question: Why is Stacy always so depressed so much now?

Among the Imposters
Luke goes to school an there are mean boys there. But he finally finds a door to the outside and he enjoys himeself and makes a garden and somehow other boys seem to have desrtoyed it. He finds out he isn't the only Shadow Child in the school. He meets six others. One night, Jason, (a shadow child) Is talking to the population police and he is telling them all the names of the Shadow Children. Luke didnt confess he was one yet, but others did. The population police, (Jens dad and a friend of his) Come in with Jasons hands behind his back. HE got turned in. It turns out he was ordered from the government to pretend he was a shadow child and turn in all other shadow children he knew. Jens Dad turns in Jason instead, and all the others are safe..........for now.
I liked this book. It was really interesting. Thats probably why I finished it so fast. It was like a mystery, an adventure all combined!
TK
P.S NO ONE WRITES ANY COMMENTS ANYMORE!!!! :`(
Among the Hidden
One thing I REALLY disliked about the book was the ending. Why did Jen have to die? Sure, maybe the rally didn't have to work but she didn't have to die!!!!! And when authors do something like that it totally turns me off.

found
I have just started found by Haddix. It is about babies that were on a plane that came out of no were. now they are older,chip and Jillian have been reciving letters that says you are the missing. it has 6 names on it. Now a teacher No's and his family might sew him for a threat.
At parts of the book it gets really boring but ten it gets interesting. I would recommend this book to people who like mystery's because they are trying to find out who other really belong to. I predict the f.b.i will get involved in this investigation because they solve crimes sceans even tho this is not a crime.

WHO STOLE HALLOWEEN? BY MARTHA FREEMAN
Dear class,
I am reading a book called Who stole Halloween? by Martha Freeman. This book is about a boy named Alex, his best friend Yasmeen and Alex's orange cat Luau. These friends (and cat) have an unusual hobby. They are detectives and their current case is they are trying to find out why cats in their area are disappearing. They began this case when they were walking around and Luau ran into the St. Bernard's cemetery. They came upon a grave stone that had a LOST flyer in the front. It said that there was a lost cat named Halloween. Next they went to the owners house to ask him some questions. He was grateful that someone was trying to find his cat.
Soon there was a baby shower that you had to wear your Halloween costume to. Alex's mom and dad decided to be a criminal and the police. They were handcuffed together. Uh oh! Alex's dad lost the key. Now they have to finish getting ready for the party handcuffed together. Alex finds all sorts of clues that would be very helpful.
A few questions I have are "Why are Alex and Yasmeen so into detective work?" and "Are the Clues that they found out at the party true?" I predict that they will get very close to finding the answer to their problem then there will be more to their problem that they have to solve.

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
Right now I am reading the " The True Confessions of Charolotte Doyle". Right now it is about how Charlotte is on a ship to go to the US. And they hit a storm and someone is murdured with a knife stabbed in his back. And the knife is Chalottes knife so the Captain suspects that Charlotte did it so he puts her in the jail on the ship. Then she is tooken to Trial.
The book kind of reminds me of Judge Judy, because on Judge Judy it is also about a case. And I once saw a judge judy where it was kind of not really like Charlottes.
I can't read on anymore, because it is a book I'm reading kind of for a book talk. Hope you guys check out the book, because it is just full of excitement.

Henry and Beezus by Beverly Cleary
If you have read my prior blog, you know that Henry needs a way to get all the gum he found home. Finally Beezus lets him borrow her wagon. After they pick up the gum, they walk back to Henry's house to relax while chewing some Cinnamon Gum. As they are relaxing, Robert, Mary Jane and Scooter come and ask for gum. Of course he says no to Scooter but then Scooter lets him ride his bike around the block.
When Henry gets back his dad has driven into the driveway. He asks what all the gum is for and then Henry explains that he found it and that he is going to sell. His father decides that they will call the police to see if someone lost it and if no one claims then Henry would get to keep the gum. Later on they found out that Henry can keep the gum and then everything gets interesting.
The next day at school Henry leaves extra early so he can try to sell some of the gum. This turned out to be a good idea until everyone already had gum and they stopped buying. This made Henry think. He decided to have a sale-> 4 gumballs for a penny. This was working great until the something happened again. This time he decided to have free samples. In this part I predicted that it wouldn't work and my prediction was correct.
A few questions I had were why does he sell the gum for such a low price? Also why does everyone still want the gum even though it is getting him in trouble? In my opinion I think that Henry has lots of troubles for one little boy and I predict that he will get into some more later on.
