The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

Dear Class,

I am reading a book called the True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. I am only on page 38, but so far its a really good book. Its about a young girl named Charlotte Doyle who's parents and all her other relatives moved back to America and left her to finish the school year. She was supposed to get on a ship with 2 other families but the families end up not being able to come so Charlotte has to go on the boat alone. She there meets pirates, who apparently are her new roommates! One of them takes her to her room, and she has to crawl to be able to fit in it!

I wouldn't want to be Charlotte because I'm not a big fan of ships or pirates. I bet she'll soon get the hang of it though. If I were her I would just not talk or pay attention and mind my own business. I would also be really scared because 1. I didn't have my parents and 2. i was on a ship full of pirates!

Sincerly,

PC

Uglies

Dear Class,
This week I am starting a new book called Uglies By Scott Westerfield, This book is about a girl named Tally. In Tally's world turning 16 is great and not because you get your license but because on your 16th birthday you get an operation that turns you from absolutely ugly to stunningly pretty. There is more, there also is a catapult that transfers you to a high-tech Paradise where all you get to do is have a great time. A fantasy am I right.But the thing is Tally has to make a choice because Shay her best friend ran away and If Tally wanted to find her she she would be banned from the pretty paridise by the "pretty commitee"Right now I am in the beginning of chapter 6 and I cant wait until I move on.

Connection: A couple days ago my mom planned for me to go to S.B house and it worked out so I was going over there but then L.T had to come over because my dad offered to watch her while her dad was gone. When I figured out that L.T was coming I was wondering if I was still going over S.B house and I had to make a choice, So they both came over my house

Reaction: When I heard that Shay ran-away I was so shocked because I would love to be a pretty. Being an ugly must be horrible!!!

Opinion: In my opinion I think Shay was overreacting because she should have just been happy she was going to turn into a pretty and the catapult that catapults you to "pretty world" must be fun.

Prediction: I predict that Tally will somehow have both her friend and become a pretty because, the next title of Scott's(The author) book is called Pretties and I think that will be about her life as a pretty.

Question: I wonder why the pretty committee made Tally choose her friend or to be a pretty I know I would choose to be a pretty, But... it matters what friend. ;)

Visualization: I can visualize the "Pretty Paradise" I can see Tally at the beach relaxing, the waves waving, and wind blowing a cool breeze. ahhh I would love to be a pretty!!!

Sincerely,

S.T

P.S this reminds me of Ramona the Brave when Ramona runs away from her school!!!

Miarcle on 49th street

Dear Class,

I am now reading miracle on 49Th street by mike Lupica. By far he is my favorite author since he writes so many books about all different types of sports.

So far it is about a girl Molly whose mom is never home. They live in Boston and Molly loves the Celtics, her favorite player is Josh Cameron. One day after practice molly finds josh and told him my mom died and that her boyfriend was Josh Cameron. At the end of chapter 3 you can molly told a lie since she said "I should not have done that". Now Molly is trying to get a letter from her mom to josh by going to the locker room. He was not there so no it is time for plan C.

I think she lied because she wants to stay/live with him. I can kind of connect to josh by being a sports star for my team. I predict that plan c might not work and they end up just talking to him because he never goes were molly wants him to go to. I would recommend this book to people that likes sports or basketball.

Smiles to go

Dear class,



In case you were wondering, I had started a new book because inkspell got pretty boring. (I do that alot, I am in the middle of about 8 books). Smiles to go is by Jerry Spinelli (hey that rhymes, Jerry Spinelli)and i think the genre is realistic fiction.

The book is about a boy named Will. He has a friend named mi-sew. One question I have about the book so far is that, who is the person that will and mi-sew played with in monopoly? I had only readthe first chapter, so I do not know much abot the book.

A connection I made to the book is that ( well, so you know what i am talking about, will had a high schooler next door to him who was really smart and is now a famous scientest.) I know someone who is really smart too.

The Witches

Dear Class,
Last week I was talking about the beginning of "The Witches". And now I will be talking about the second kind of part of the book. The little boy is hiding behind a screen and the witches are having their little meeting. Then when the meeting is released of how to get rid of children by turning them into mice. The Grand High Witch then all of a sudden smells the little boy and he comes face to face with t he Grand High Witch her self.

A connection I have with this is I have came face to face with a really mean person and by the way the author described how he felt I think I have really felt exactly how he has felt. And doesn't feel good.

I also have a question for the book is if the witches are a whole family of mean evil people? That would be horrible.

I hope of what I have told you is still wanting you to read this book. I'll be here next week with another update of the book. See ya next time!

Sincerely,
HJ
