**Jack's reading comments for the 2010-11 school year!**
Jack 4/12/11 Here are the clues for my book: 1. One word in the title. 2. The main character's name is Beck. 3. The main character moves in with his uncle. 4. The main character discovers a new power that he has. Good luck!
 * Jack 5/12/11 This week, I'm doing a summary. So, here goes nothing: In The Maze Runner, it's turning into madness. One person went completely nuts. He ran into the Maze by himself. That's like asking for death. Pretty soon, the sun disappears and the sky turns gray. The supplies from the box doesn't come. The Maze walls don't move. I know what your thinking, this doesn't sound that bad. You probably don't even know what im talking about, do you? It gets worse. The doors don't close at night. Then the Greivers come out into the Glade, their only protection from the Greivers, and they take and possibly kill one kid each night. Then they find out the code to the Maze. The code is //Float//, //Cat//... I'm getting ahead of myself. Don't want to give away the book. Now I'll finish it of and still make you want to read it. Finally, Thomas does something really smart, but at the same time it's one of the stupidest moves he could make. Although, he thought about doing it before, but decided it isn't worth it. Wow, I'm looking back and seeing that I wrote a lot. So I really, truly hope that you read this book.**
 * Gillian 4/14/11- Is the book Scumble?**

Jack 3/23/11 The two characters in the Maze Runner that I am comparing and contrasting Thomas and Alby. They are alike because they both forgot about life before the Glade, and they both want to solve the Maze. They are different because Alby has been there longer than anybody that is in the Glade who isn't dead, two years. Thomas is the Newbie and weird things start to happen when he gets there.

Tessa1/27/11 I the truth that owls want to bring peace to the owl world ?
 * Jack 1/27/11 In the book Guardians of Ga'hoole#19, there are things called hagsfiends that want to bring peace to the owl world. One of them named Svenka loves war and invented flying. Which one is true?**
 * Sydney 1/22/11 is it clue 3?**
 * Gillian~1~20~11~ Is it clue #2?**

5. There is something in my book that got their ears ripped off.
==Jack 1/13/11 One reason why reading is important to me is that you can learn new words that you have never heard of before, then use them! Another reason is that it helps me fall asleep at night when I am not tired. One final reason is that I always want to know what will happen next in the book. Reading is a very good habbit, I hope that someday everyone will have this habbit, just like me! Thank for sharing your thoughts about Reading, Jack. +4 == ==Jack 1/6/11 In the book the Guardians Of Ga'Hoole #10, my favorite character is Hoole. He is a chick who just hatched about ten days ago. He is exhilerated and energetic all the time. He also loves to fly, he flies around just for fun. He flies around because it relaxes him and he likes the feeeling of it. Hoole is also a young prince, but he doesn't know it. He was raised by Grank (who was in my december second entry) and his assintant, Theo. Hoole, Theo, and Grank will go to Beyond the Beyond when Hoole's wings are strong enough to fly that distance.== ==Jack 12/15/10 A book I reccomend is series of unfortunate events #1 because it is all about three children and very unfortunate events strike them. Also it is a series so if you like the first book you can read the next book. Another book reccomended by me is Guardians of Ga'Hoole #2 because it is about Soren, Gylfie, and their two freinds going on an adventure to the Great Ga'Hoole tree. They have lots of fun on the way and then they finally get there and they have lots of fun and they also meet new friends.==

Mrs. Hansen - 12/8 Wow, what an entry. I feel like I really know your main character and I want to read this book. Your description created interest. +4 house pts :)

 * Jack 12/2/10**
 * In the Guardians of Ga'Hoole #9 Grank is smart, thoughtful, persistant, determened, and careful. He really wants to study about fire. His motive for that is that he lives in a snowy place with barely any fire. When he saw a fire, he saw images in it. Those are two of his motives. He moves to a place called Beyond the Beyond, where there are many fires. His friend is a dire wolf named Fengo. He has lived in the Beyond for many years and knows when all five volcanos erupt and every other thing about them. Fengo teaches Grank about fire and Grank studies every night. That tells me that really wants to get things done. One example is that he never liked war, which always happened in his old home, and couln't wait untill the war was over. Another example is that all he wants at the begining is catch a coal on the fly. If he does it is at it's hottest. When he catches one, him and Fengo are very happy.**

Mrs. Hansen - All I can say is wow, Jack. Your entries are well written and thought out. Be proud!
==Jack 11/4/10 Number the Stars is a great book and it did help me understand the Holocaust better. It tells about the war against the Nazis in Denmark. It helped me understand how rude the Nazis are and how tough and how long the Danish fought the war. Many people did die but many brave fisherman like Uncle Henrik brought jews off to Sweden in a secret compartment at the bottom of their boat. Then the Danish won their war against the Nazis. I would recommend this book to a friend because it describes the war of the Holocaust in Denmark through two girls, Annemarie and Ellen's everyday lives.== ==Jack 10/27/10 The character who causes problems for the main character in my book is on owl called Metal Beak. He has a metal mask because he lost his beak in battle. He always disliked Soren ever since he first hatched. Metal Beak is the leader of a group that is trying to destroy the Great Ga'Hoole tree and take over owlkind.== ==Jack 10/21/10 The Guardians of Ga'Hoole is an amazing series of books! It's all about animals in these kingdoms. With owls, puffins, eagles, and snakes, the adventures never end. Traveling with the Guardians is very fun. From the deserts in the Southern kingdoms, all the way up to The Frith of Fangs in the Northern Kingdoms. Suprises await in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series.==

Steven 10/21/10 ﻿I really your advertisement. Especially the last sentence.
=Jack 10/14/10 My book is the Guardians of Ga'Hoole #5, it is by Kathryn Lasky. One fact about her is that she loves owls and researching their natural history. Another is that she worked as a teacher when she graduated college. The third fact is that she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in a sailboat thirdy feet long with her husband. Finnaly, she now lives with her husband, Chris Knight in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is 66 years old.= =Jack 10/6/10- In my book Soren and Gylfie are going back to St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls on a mission along with Twilight, Digger, Ruby, Martin, and Otulissa. They are looking for spies from the Pure Ones that are gathering and stealing flecks from St. Aggies. They all have suspicions of Barn Owls that might work for the Pure Ones, but they might not be working for them. They must complete their mission without getting moon blinked and return home to report their information back to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree.=

**Giuliana 9/30/10**
I want to read Guardians of Ga'hoole!

==Jack 9/27/10- The setting of my story is the Great Ga'Hoole tree. It is a tree that most owls think is legendary, but it is real. The four main characters Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger all live there. It affects them because if they weren't there they would have to keep finding their own shelter, hunting for their own food, and they wouldn't find new friends. They could also get mobbed by crows and risk getting hurt.==

Joni 9/20/10-
Jack, who captured Soren and why did they do that? In the book do the animals talk? What is a mentor? Sorry I have so many questions! == Jack (9/20/10) The problem in the story is that Soren's mentor, Ezylryb, disapeared when the owls of the great Ga'Hoole tree were finding owlets. A connection is that one time when I was at a friend's house they dropped me off at my house and nobody was home. So then I found a phone and called my parents. == == ﻿Jack (9/13/10) The main character is Soren. He is curious, brave, and thoughtful. He thinks for his friends, and others too. He is a Barn Owl with brown eyes even though most owls have yellow. All of his friends have yellow eyes accually. He is like me because he is curious and thinks about things very hard. We also both try to focus on what is happening. We are different because he has dark, almost black eyes, I have light blue eyes. We are also different because he is an owl and I am a human. Someone who is like him is my friend Zach Chamberlin. He is curious, and thoughtful too. He also thinks for others like Soren. ==
