Devin-3/24/11 The Name of This Book is Secret The two main charaters are Cass and Grandpa Wayne. They are alike by they both being humerous also, by both of them being very frivolous because they're both Silly Willy's.One final way is that They're curious because there was a mysterious box that they were both curious about it. Now here comes how they're different. One way is that Grandpa Wayne is very DIGNIFIED but as Cass, she's very traitorous. One final way they're different is by Grandpa Wayne careful of things but as Cass, she's very ROWDY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sydney 3/15/11 Devin, you are definetly right! Mysterys do make you want to read more!

Devin-3/10/11 My favorite genre is mystery because, it makes you want to read more. I would mainly pick mystery if I had to pick any. Also I like it because it might get your heart beating really fast if its a good part or really bloody or scary part. I would really want you to read books like Found, Sent, or even Sabotaged. Mrs. Hansen - My dear Devin, as usual you write an entry worth reading. I agree, you have grown as a reader. Like me, you feel that reading is a joy. I love to read, too. :) Devin-3/3/11 I think I changed as a reader by doing all of the reading wiki's and also by growing into a better reader by always reading for 60 minutes a lot of days a month. I also think that wiki's and also reading is JOY and so much FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it so much!!!!!!!  My future book list is:  And so much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Devin-2/23/11  A Friendship for Today
 * The Help
 * Anything But Typical
 * Out of My Mind
 * Harry Potter Series
 * Sent
 * Cinderalla Cleaners

The two main characters are named Rosemary Patterson and Grace Hamilton. They both are the same by they both being the same age and also they each become more friendly to each other as the story progresses on. They're different by Grace because she has 4 other children in the family but as Rosemary, she's the only child. Also, Rosemary has a nickname for every Hamilton child: Curl-Lipped Jane the oldest, Stevie the Snake he's fifhteen, Wayne the Whiner he's sixteen, Snot-Nosed Marty he's twelve and Grace the Tasteless and she's Rosemary's age. Devin-2/15/11 Number the Stars/ My Brother Sam is Dead

I would compare Number the Stars and My Brother Sam is Dead by the both having to do with somone or some people getting killed. They also have differences by being that the book period for My Brother Sam is Dead was taking place in the 1700's, and Number the Stars was the time period of the 1900's. The characters are alike because Tim in My Brother Sam is Dead is sort like AnneMarie in Number the Stars because they have a huge personality!!!!!! Also, the settings were the same because they both toke place in a war. My Brother Sam is Dead was World War l and Number the Stars was World War ll. Definietly, the plot was the same because somebody of the main characters in each book both had someone die during the book!!!!! Devin-2/8/11 My Brother Sam is Dead

I think the two main message are war because the author wants you to feel like you are at that time. Also, the author wants us to sort of pick what side we want like Tim in the book ( Tory or Rebel.) They also feel like you being a solider and fighting in the war and seeing how it feels and how you get treated and also how bad of condition your in after the war or any war you be apart of. ( It feels bad!!!! Trust me about that one. Devin-2/2/11  My Brother Sam is Dead

The main characters name is Tim Meeker, he has an old brother named Sam Meeker who is in the war for freedom. Some actions he makes is that he almost had shooted his brother on purpose thought. Also his feelings are high because when he was on his way home from Verplancks Point, he noticed that Father was gone!!!!!! He was scared because he did'nt want anyone to hurt him like the Cow-Boys. Some traits that fit him is curious, enthusiastic, and emotional!!!!! Devin- Yes your correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devin-1/23/11

I loved reading your thoughts about reading. You made some wonderful points. +5 Devin-1/5/11 Jemma Hartman Camper Extrodinaire My FAVORITE characters are Jemma, Tammy, Brooke, but the main character is Jemma. Jemma characteristics are that she sort of jealous, because Tammy's Jemma's best friend and Tammy's cousin comes to camp with Jemma, and Jemma saw that Tammy and Brooke were hanging out a lot and so Jemma though Tammy and Jemma would lose their friendship. Also her motives were was to try to find out why Tammy was hanging out with her cousin a little to much. Devin-12/13/10 The books I reccomend is:
 * Found
 * Jemma Hartman Camper Extrodanire

== Mrs. Hansen - 12/8 Well done, Devin. Raina sounds like a very interesting character. Through your description, I come to understand her feelings and issues. I can tell you put effort into your entry. +3 house pts :) ==

Smile
I'm reading the book smile. The main characters name is Raina. She knocked out her two front teeth by tripping and falling to the ground. She has to go to the orthodontist a lot. She gets braces, headgear and other things that has to do with her teeth. Some of her traits are that she is very STUBURN!!!! She does not want to put the headgear on because she says that she looks funny.........she kind of does. Another one is that she is very enthusiastic because, she wants the braces and then when she gets them she's not really enthusiastic.

Number the Stars

The book helped me understand the time period better by: First, the Nazi's were sort of in control of the Jews, Gypsies, and other people. Secondly, everyone had to go to bed by 8:00 P.M. because Hitler wanted them to, and third of all, Jews had to put a star on their clothing. I don't recommend this to a friend because it's kind of sad and it might feel scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Devin-10/25/10

Number the Stars

In Number the Stars, the opposer was Hitler and the Nazi's!!! They make problems because they're against everybody else who lives in a particular place. The character, (Annemarie Johnasan) was sort of a resistance fighter, she tries to stand up for her self during the war. Her characteristics are that she is brave because it is hard for her during the war. She is helpful because she helped her friend when the Nazi's were looking for her. Katie 10/21/10 I like how you mentioned it was unique because that got my attention.

**Dork Diaries book 2**

**The main setting is the school. The whole story (so far) was pretty much at school. All of the DRAMA is there and people getting bullied and much much more! Nikki gets teased at school because she has a "diary." The setting efects Nikki because McKenzie, the mean girl, always trys to ruin her and NIKKI HATES IT!!!!** I might want to read Dork Diaries.

 * Giuliana 9/26/10**

**Dork Diaries book 1**

**So the conflict is that the main character, Nikki, has an enemy named McKenzie and she is like the "queen bee" of the grade and she is a really big bully!!!!!!!!!!!! So whatever McKenzie does EVERYBODY follows what she says, like she would say " All of the committees have to resign." And they would resign!!! So Nikki is not thrilled with her!!! There is someone who relates to McKenzie I don't want to say there name but someone is like McKenzie, BECAUSE there r mean like her..................................................** **Devin-9/13/10**

**11 Birthdays**

**The main character's name is Amanda. She has a friend, Leo, who birthday is on the same day as Amanda's. She is CONFUSED, SWEET, BRAVE AND HAPPY. Some of her characrististic that I can relate to are, she's brave if someone said something mean to her she hurt but she does not show it and she's confident of what she does.**

One day I will read Julia's Kitchen.
**Devin- 8/31/10. My FAVORITE book is**

**Julia's Kitchen.**

**The main character's name is Cara. One day she slept over at her friend Marlee's house. That morning she got a call and it was her dad, he said that their house was on fire. Her sister, Janie, and her mom, Julia, both died in the fire, but her father survived the fire. Cara loved her sister and her mom a lot. The problem was that Cara ALWAYS was with her mom, and Janie was ALWAYS with her dad. So Cara really did not know her father as well as she knew her mom. I REALLLLLY like this book because I liked it because I understand that they sat Shiva. I think you should read Julia's Kitchen because its a good book and there's a ..........**
