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.

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.
