Katie 5 - 9 - 11
The book I'm reading is called Among The Brave by Magaret Peterson Haddix. It is part of the Shadow Children series. It is about a boy named Trey and he is an illegal 3rd child with a fake ID. He was sent to Mr. Talbot's house from Lee/luke. The group of friends sent Trey to go knock on the door but when Mr. Talbot is arrested and the shofer drives the friends away Trey is stranded at a place he has never seen before. Soon later he finds Mark Lee's brother and they find out that really all his friends were taken to the population police headquarters He goes on an adventure to save his friends. Trying to get in the headquarters Mark gets eletricuted and is taken away because they thought he was dead but he was really alive. So Trey comes up with a plan to " join " the population police. Just when it got bad Trey was lucky and he escaped through the air vent. That is my book so far, I recommend it to people who like suspense books.

Katie - My two characters are Kelsy Donelly and Judy Douglas the Return of the Homework Machine. They are alike because they both are caring and not careless. Judy and Kelsy both agree that boys are stupid. They are different because Kelsy is not smart but Judy is. Also Judy worrys a lot but Kelsy doesn't. =====

Katie - My favorite genre is science fiction because it tells about science related things that the author thinks will happen in the future. It is fun to read about the authors prediction about future science. I also like it because it gets you thinking of machines in the future and what the future will be like. My favorite series of science fiction is the missing series and the among the hidden series. =====

Mrs. Hansen - Lovely entry, Katie. I agree with you, reading can teach you lessons. I appreciate your comment about making connections and taking you to a whole new world. That is so true! It happens to me all the time when I read. :)=====

Katie - Reading is not a chore to me because every book can teach you something. Even a fantasy book that is not real can, it can make you think about connections and takes you to a whole new world and you could learn a lesson too. The most memorable book so far is The London Eye Mystery. I just finished it and it was a great book and the kind that you just can't put down. It is a mystery book and you just want to skip ahead and find out what happens to Salim.

Katie - My two characters are Kat and Ted in the London Eye Mystery.
They are alike because both want to try to find Salim. Both kids are also not selfish, they both care about Salim would give their ticket away to him. They are different because, Ted loves weather and thinks things differently than Kat. He also is up to anything, open minded and belives anything more can help. Kat is not open minded and wants to stick to facts and only facts. Also Kat thinks that Ted can't do all these things like lying and going to investigate, but Ted thinks he can.

2 - 14 - 11
Katie - Number The Stars and The London Eye Mystery are alike and different. They are alike because, both have main characters that are very clever. In Number The Stars Annmarie was very clever because she had to be to get around the Germans. In The London Eye Mystery Ted is very clever because he makes all these theories that probably nobody would have thought. They are different because, in Number The Stars, the same conflict is happening to most people in Denmark, but in The London Eye Mystery the conflict is only happening to one family.

Katie - Two themes in my book is, that some people have more rights than others at that time and some people would brake the law and thinks slaves should never be free. In that time from highest to lowest rights is white men, white women, black men and black women. Even if you are not black being a girl is like being a half slave and you do not have as many rights as men. being black means no one really cares much about you and you have even less rights than a white women. In my book there is Captain Ivers, he doesn't care for black people so much that he will brake the law to get a black person that is free a slave again. He does not feel that black people should have any rights and he is very greedy he wants everyone his property even though its against the law to put a free person with legal documents in slavery. If he was alive during the Civil War he would probably be against freeing slaves. =====

2 - 3 - 11
Katie - The main character in my book is Willy. Willy and I are both determined. Willy didn't give up when trying to find her ma. When I start something I don't give up. Also I can connect to her when she was scared to do something but did it anyway because at first I was scared to go on my first upside-down roller coaster, but then I did it anyway.

Katie - No sorry Chloe that is wrong, the answer is clue# 5

==Katie - Reading is important to me because it lets you encounter new words you might have not known in the past. Reading is also important to me because it gives you a chance to put the picture in your head. Unlike TV, for reading, ( in most chapter books ) there are no pictures so you get to make up the setting with what the author describes it as. That is why reading is very crucial to me. Interesting ideas, Katie. You are so right about the pictures in your mind. +5 ==

1-4-11 Tessa - Great job Katie!! You did really good explaining Andrea.
= 1 - 3 - 11 = = Katie - My favorite character in the book Sabotaged is Andrea. Andrea is my favorite character because she is so caring and is very determined. She will never give up on anything she wants to do. Andrea is very caring because her parents died in a car accident so she wants to take care of the rest of her family as well as she can. She is also not very selfish with her family, she was determined to get her tracer to meet her grandfather so she searched everywhere for her tracer and when her grandfather was not feeling well she took great care of him. = = Molly 12.19.10 = Isn't **//Found// so good! **

12 - 12 -10
Katie - I recommend the book Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix because it is a mystery book. You will never want to put it down, and as you read it is fun to figure out the puzzle pieces of the mystery in your head before the characters do. I also recommend the book Lost and Found by Andrew Clements, it is a book that makes you think "Well what if I was in their position what would I do." It also has a twist to the resolution that you might have not followed in the book, it would take a very good eye to follow it. == Mrs. Hansen - 12/8 Wow, Katie! Awesome well thought out entry. Andrea sounds like a interesting character. This sounds like a book I would really enjoy reading. Keep up the good work. +5 house pts :) == ==Nina 12/3/10~ Katie, thank you for telling me what is going to happen in Sabotaged! NOW I AM EVEN MORE EXCITED TO READ THE REST OF THE BOOK! ==

A character in my book is a girl named Andrea. She is very caring, in the book all she thinks about is her grandfather who just almost died in the time period they are in. She is also kind, she is always helping and thinking about others in the book. Her motive for always thinking about her grandfather is, her parents died in a car accident so she is trying to care for family because she knows what it is like without it. ===== <span style="background-color: #990a99; color: #c1f7fb; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">12 - 1 Katie - Jack your right 2 house points!!!!
