Mr. Shaw 6.7.10 Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the wiki, Samantha and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Five house points for red! // Samantha 6-3-10 Mr. Shaw, I loved the reading wiki! I think that it was a really great way to express the ways you feel about the book you are reading! This year I wrote a comment everyday expect for one, and I think that it really paid off. I hope that everyone else liked the wiki as much as I did and it was a great learning experience. Thank you! :) Byee

Bella 5.31.10 That book sounds really good.//

Homework coupon!!!!!!!!!**
 * Samantha 5-25-10

Meredith 5.16.10 I agree with Sarah I think she is young. Samantha that book sounds really good. It is funny that the youngest is the one who talks to him and the one who knocks on the door.

Toby 5/21/10 Is that really a good book??

 Sarah W Mr. Shaw, I think Samantha means young when she says small because most people do not think that people are cute because they are short... But, I don't know... Maybe Samantha did mean short when she said small. By the way Samantha, GREAT JOB AT YOUR SHOW!!

Mr. Shaw 5.13.10 Hey Samantha...nice response this week! I love how you gave examples from the story to explain Lindy's character. I am awarding four house points to red. I was wondering, though...how little is she? Does little mean "young" or does it mean "short?"  //Izzy 5.12.10 Hi Samantha! I would probably want to be friends with the same parson you chose to be friends with. How old is Lindy? Anyways that sounds like a really great book. The story sounds like a ghost story. Is it? The title sounds funny too.//

Samantha 5-12-10 Right now I am reading a book called " The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles." The person that I would like to lean on in this book is Lindy. She is the littlest girl in the family, and has the biggest imagination of them all too! One reason why I would like to lean on Lindy is, she is so nice. When Ben, Tom, and her go to the zoo, a man walks up to them. She was the only one that would really talk to him and really would understand him. Another reason is because she is so funny! When Lindy was dared to knock on the "haunted house door", they figured out it was the guy who they met at the park. When they went inside Lindy made a couple of jokes that I thought was really funny! The last reason why I want to lean on her is because, she is so cute. I think that all little girls are cute, and I think that she is really cute. Well, thats all for today! Bye 

Samantha 5-5-10 The book I am reading right now is "Teen Idol."  I am going to connect it to a book I read before called " Luv Ya Bunches".  A difference that to books have is there are four main characters in Luv Ya Bunches and there is only one in Teen Idol. Teen Idol is a really girly book, just like Luv Ya Bunches. These are both also amazing books!! I love Teen Idol and i just LOVED Luv Ya Bunches!! So, I can't wait to read more in Teen Idol. Another difference between the books is Teen Idol is about keeping a superstars secret and Luv Ya Bunches is about friendships. Well, thats all for now!!! BYEE!!!  Sarah W 5/?/2010 Samantha, I think I am going to read it because I read the 1st chapter and I thought that it was pretty good. I feel bad for Luke in a way, but I don't in a way also because he is a superstar and who wouldn't want to be a superstar? I think that maybe later in the story that maybe he will tell everyone who he really is but they will not be that into him because they are with him every day and I also think that people will be mad at him if he tells them who he really is because they won't trust him because he lied about who he is and they will not want to be with him anymore and they will think that he is a jerk because of it.

Danielle 5/1/10 That sounds like a goodd book. I would not want to be Jenny because if a big superster came to our school I would want to tell somebody. Also if people knew what Luke Striker looked like why couldn't they tell it was him?

//Samantha 4-28 -10 Right now I am reading "Teen Idol." This is a fictional book and I am going to tell you what the major conflict in the story is. Luke Striker is a worldwide superstar. He comes to the school and poses as a regular guy named Lucas Smith, to research a part that he got. Nobody knows that Luke Striker is coming to the the school. They just think it is a regular new student. Jenny is keeping the secret. She knows that that it is Luke Striker, the superstar, that is posing as Lucas Smith because she is showing him around the school while he recognizes how different the life is of a regular school kid vs. a superstar. I really like the book so far because it has a lot going on and keeps me wanting more. You should really read it!! BYE!!!

Samantha 4-28-10 You guys are all right!! Good job! I made a mistake and did two lies instead of one! OOPS! Betty is a DOLL! Im sorry I didn't tell you a lot about that. Jenny is the main character. 

Meredith 4-25-10 I know everyone said it was the third one but I think it is the second one because I think Annie is the main character. And Annie may just be a normal school girl who tries out for teen idol. The second one just sounds like it didn't really happen.

Sarah L 4-25-10 I think the lie is number three because the book is called "Teen Idol" and if she Betty Ann Mulvaney was a Teen Idol than she would not be a regular girl.

Izzy 4.25.10 I think your lie is the third one because you can tell by the title of the book "Teen Idol" that Betty Ann Mulvaney is not a regular girl. I think she has a special talent. //

Danielle 4/21/10 I think your lie is the third one because normally in a book they don't say that about a character. Also it doesn't sound realistic to me.

//Samantha 4-21-10 Two truths and a lie about "Teen Idol." 1. Annie is the main character 2. Kurt stole Betty Ann Mulvaney 3. Betty Ann Mulvaney is a regular girl who goes to school. Thats my two truths and a lie about "Teen Idol."

Samantha 4-21-10 Mikenzie, "Dear John" was amazing!!!! You should really try it!!!!  mikenize 4-1-10 So how was the book dear john was it just like the movie ? i mite read it if i like the movie.

Samantha 4-17-10 I am not going to talk about the book I am reading now, because I haven't read enough to give it a rating. So I am going to tell you about the book I just finished. The book that I just finished is called "Dear John." I would give that book five stars! One reason is because, it was so well written! Nicholas Sparks is a great author! His books are so touching they really seem real. I cried when I heard the part when John's dad dies. I felt like the book was real, and that everything happened. Another reason is the characters. They just pop out of the book! I feel like they are right they sitting next to me reading it with me, telling their story. Finally, the last reason is how I kept wanting more. I wanted to read that book as much as I could! I miss everything about that book. I read it every night and I never wanted to stop reading it. Now that it's over I am so sad! Thats why I gave it five stars!!:) One thing that I didn't like about the book even though I gave it five stars, was the ending. It didn't turn out the way I would have wanted it to. Well, thats all for now! BYE

Bella 4.12.10 Hi. I would not want to Be Savnnah because the man of her dreams is going into the millatary. And might die!//

Izzy 4.11.10 I wouldn't like to be John in the book because I would have not such a good life and also it would be hard to go to the military and have a father that doesn't talk to him and no mom. I feel bad for Savannah because the guy of her dreams is in the military. I probably would not read Dear John because it sounds really sad. Didn't they make that book into a movie?//

Jocelyn 4-9-10 Does John die in the Millatary? If that is why then thats why it must be really sad!! I would feel so bad for the girl!!!!!!!!! OR does the dad die? owwwww, that sounds like a VERY SAD BOOK? who is it by? Didn't they make a movie of that?

Samantha 4-8-10 ht now I am reading __**"Dear John."**__ It's a great book so far, but also SAD! Really sad! I love it though because these characters seem so realistic, I really feel like everybody in the book is real. I am not going to tell you a lot about this book because it's so good you can't put it down. It would ruin it for you. Our library wouldn't have this because it has a couple of words that might be inappropriate to some people. But, it's not the words that matter, it's the story behind it. John meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah Lynn Curtis and they both fall in love with each other, when he gets something that means a lot to her. I am not going to tell you what it is though. John has a really rough life though. He and his dad barely talk. John has tattoos to symbolize stuff that means a lot to him. He has no mom. All his dad can talk about is coins. John drinks a lot too. One more thing John is in the military. Well, thats all for now! BYE BYE!

Samantha 4-8-10 Thanks I love all your comments and I loved reading it! Well, see you at school BYE!!

Sarah L 3-26-10 Samantha, that sounds like a VERY good book!!!!! I think that I would really like it but, I don't wear makeup! I hope that you like reading it!!!!!

Bella 3/25/10 Samantha, This book sounds good I like makeup on special occasion because it gets in your eyes and stuff. But I want to recommend **__The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants.__**I Think you might like it because from the comments I read on your page I read that you read a lot of books like this. About girly things like makeup or Diarys. This book is about 4 girls that are BFFEILOD ( Best friends forever even in life or death) and they share one pair of jeans for good luck.//

//Danielle 1/25/10 Samantha that sounds like a great book and I think I would like it a lot. I like make up but I don't wear any except when I am in dance recitals. Did you check the book out at school or did you buy it because I want to know where I can check it out. What type of book is it a fantasy a fiction or what? Great comment and I will see you tomorrow at school. Bye. Bye//

//Samantha 3-23-10 Right now I am reading " My Life in Pink and Green." It's a good book so far and I think I am starting to like it. I would recommend this book to people or pretty much girls who love makeup! This book has a lot of makeup in it, because this girl works at a pharmacy and she helps people with their makeup, of course. She gets to test drive all the makeup before she gets to set it out in the store. So it tells about when she is trying on her makeup and finds a product that is totally natural and// GREEN!!! Also the cover has a girl getting, a spa treatment and her cucumbers are recycling signs. I think a lot of the book might be about the green products because of the cover. So I would recommend this book to lovers of makeup. Like me!! BYE!!

SarahL (Late) Samantha, I agree with you that I would not want to live in that time! //I don't know how Tim and his Mom live without being safe!//

// Sarah W If I was in the war, I would probably be a Patriot or a Tory, a nutralist. I would be that because I like both ways that they are thinking and I would not want to pick any sides. I would also want to have a big part in the war because then you are well known, and if your side wins the war, then you will feel even better about yourself if your side won then if your side lost or if your side won and you didn't have a big part. I would also fight for my rights but I do not think that I would want to be killed because I do not know know to shoot a gun and if I didn't know how to shoot, I wouldbe killed right away!! I would not want to live in that frame of time either, but I would not be okay with it. If I did though, I probably would be okay with it because I wouldn't have any other life time or life style to compare it to.

Samantha 3-22-10 LATE for last week! Right now I am reading " My brother Sam is dead!" I definitely would not want to live in that time. I could of gotten killed or badly hurt! I think I would rather stay in this time frame!! But, if I lived in that time I would like to be in the war. Women could not be in the war but, I would still want to fight for my rights! I would probably do boycotting if they let me too! I would be a woman who would stand my ground! I would fight for my rights as much as they would let me. I would want to have a really big part in the war, because I am a person that won't give up! If I would have to fight for my rights then I will but, if I don't I am still fine with that. I don't want to live in that time frame but, if I had to I would probably be okay with it.

Samantha 3-22-10 Jocy, I THINK IT IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!! You should read it if you have time it was sooo good!!!! Yes I think there was a movie is saw it too! That was the movie! I LOVE THE BOOK SO YOU SHOULD READ IT!

Jocelyn 3/22/10 Do you really think it is the best book in the world? If so I should probably read it! I think I have seen the movie of this book. Is it where she writes in her diary and it gets mixed up and she her diary became a bestseller?//

3/15/10 Danielle Samantha that sounds like an amazing book it sounds like this movie " Read it and Weep." The same thing happens to a girl and her whole diary gets published as a book and she doesn't even know it. It involves some characters in the story that are from her personal life. LIke the mean girl at school and the boy she likes. Who is the author of the book because I for sure read it. IT sounds so cool and suspenseful and I like books with a lot of suspense. Well you wrote a awesome comment. BYE BYE.

<span style="background-color: #404040; color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Bella 3/10/10 Oh well thats ok I could look somewhere else or maybe they got more in? I could order it. Thank you Samantha. BYE BYE!!!

//**Mr. Shaw 3/12/10 Sounds like your kind of book! You've earned 3 house points for your entry.

Samantha 3-9-10 This week I started and finished the what I thought was the best book in the world,"How My Journal Became a Bestseller." It is about a girl who had a normal life at first, like me and you. She was sending her friend her essay for a class so her friend could print it for her. She sent what she wrote in her journal by accident to her. She has all her deepest darkest secrets, such as what happened at school and what boy she likes, MARCO VEGA! She has and always have had a MAIJOR crush on him!!! But, I think only a couple of people know, like her closest friends, Harmony, Conner, and Lindsey. They are always there for her and they all hang out. But, if I keep talking I will tell you the whole story. I will go on and on and on, I love it so much! So, that's all for this week! BYE BYE

Samantha 3-9-10 Bella, I got it at Borders but, it was the last copy! So, I am sorry, maybe you can order it! SORRY! BYE BYE**

Bella 3/8/10 Samantha this book sounds very good. Do you know do where I can get it?

Jared 3-6-10 Samantha, Jamie must like to write. Where does she write all of her ideas down? Hope you like the book!

Jack M 3-5-10 is this book like diary of a wimpy kid at all andwhat is your guess of what something special she has.

Izzy 3/3/10 for the week of Feb.21-28 (late) I think that Aubrey has a secret too and maybe she has a secret friend or does smething specal that she doesn't want her// //friends to know about//. Andy 3/2/10 for the week of Feb.21-28 (Late). I also that Aubrey has a big secret I also want to know what it is. I don't think someone would just ditch people for no reason. Sounds good hope you enjoy the rest of the book.

Samantha 3-2-10 Okay, so I just started a new book called "How My Journal Became a Bestseller"(private personal!) The question you asked me to answer was what was the most interesting character is Jamie because she has so much imagination! She thinks of everything different that I would think and writes it down. Everything that comes to her mind and she also gets lost in her thoughts,ideas when she writes I think that is very interesting and cool. I love that she has so many thoughts about everything and she writes it down in her note book. She doesn't even care what it is, it's just about her life. I think that is amazing! So, I think that she is the most interesting character in the story so far! MAYBE YOU CAN READ IT?!! BYE!

Samantha 3-2-10 Danielle, the girls names are LJ, Jenna, Aubrey! They are also very great characters in the story. It was a very great book and I loved it so maybe you will read it soon! Well, ya I will see you tomorrow!! BYE BYE

//1/25/10 Danielle Samantha that sounds like cool book. What are the other 3 girls names. Who is Tyler and Emily? Is Emily one of those three girls you were talking about before? This book sounds great this sounds like the kind of book that you would enjoy a lot. Do you like the book so far because to me it seems like it is very fun and entertaining. Bye see you tomorrow.//

Right now I am reading "Making Waves!" I love this book. Now, I am going to tell you about the SETTING of the story. The story takes place mostly by the pool area and the beach. The four girls are always there in their spare time and also just to have fun and relax! At first there are only three girls, but later a new girl Aubrey comes to the pool and joins in. Aubrey is with them at first and then she keeps ditching them. They have no clue what is happening and why she keeps making these lame excuses to go. So, that is the main setting THE POOL AND THE BEACH. Those are the main settings for what I have read so far, but they may not be the setting for the rest of the story. Well, back to what I was saying before about Aubrey. I think she has a really big secret and she is just making like it's nothing. I think that they are starting to wonder what is happening. Another thing that I wanted to talk about is about Emily and Tyler. I think they like each other. All I know is right now Emily likes him and it seems like the book is trying to say that Tyler always looks at her and smiles, so they probably like each other. Thats all for today!! BYE BYE!!!
 * // Samantha 2-23-10

Samantha 2-23-10 Yes Meredith and Bella, we did read that in 3rd grade, but I haven't read it in a long time so I just wanted to read it again. p.s Bella, I was there and I saw all the books, it was cool!

Samantha 2-23-10 Jack, I dont know the actual reason, but here is what I think. When Mrs, Brisbane came back to the room, Ms. Mac had been there. Mrs. Brisbane yelped and said "get that filthy rodent out of here". Ms. Mac said that Humphery has to stay in the class room and left. I think maybe she was just jealous of her.

Samantha 2-23-10 Jocy, The way that Humphery learned how to speak and talk is because Ms. Mac was a teacher, and she is the one who bought him and gave him the spot in room 26.

mikenzie 2-21-10 i read that before it's a great book and humrey is so cute. yea why does mrs. Brisbane hate humphrey.

Jack 2-21-10 The book you are reading sounds really good. Why does Mrs. Brisbane hate Humphrey? Humphrey souds like he's nice and cute. I haven't seen "The Lightning Theif" yet. But I really want to see the movie.

Izzy 2.20.10 I agree with you too. I also don't get why Lina won't just tell everyone that there is another city. I think that she should just go up infront of everyone and say "There is another city".

Meredith 2/189/10 I think Mr. Shaw read that to us in 3 grade. I remember it being a great book. I have the same conection as you do but I don't remember it very well. It is funny that they are n room 26 and we are in room 26. I should probably reread the book. It was very good!!! //

//Bella 2/18/10 Hey Samantha didn't Mr.Shaw read that book to his class in 3rd grade? Cause I was in Ms.Sagats class but i've heard about it! Also we looked it up on amazon.com and we saw a bunch of book about according to humphrey I don't think you where there though! Well have fun reading! BYE BYE!!!//

Jocelyn 2/17/10 I think that is really interesting that connection of how we learn to speak English as we are babies, and that the mouse learns to speak too. Is the mouse a young mouse or is it really old and does the REALLY learn how to speak?

//Samantha 2/16/10 This week I am reading "The World According to Humphrey". I am going to make a personal connection with book. When Ms. Mac first got the mouse, Humphrey, he had no clue how to speak English. After all he was a mouse! When I was a little baby, I didn't speak English either. I had to learn how to speak something besides baby talk. Humphrey is trying to learn something other than squeak. When he talks, he feels like he is talking, but it comes out as a squeak. Now I want to tell you more about this book. Ms. Mac was a substitute teacher in room 26. She brings Humphrey to class daily, so he can learn. Finally, one day Ms. Mac told Humphrey that she is leaving him behind in her classroom for the teacher she had been substituting for, Mrs. Brisbane. Mrs. Brisbane did not like Humphrey at all at first. Later she got used to him and began to like him. I haven't read much more yet, so that is all I am going to tell you for now. I wanted to tell you that I saw "The Lightening Thief" this weekend. It was so much different than the book. I loved the book so much more. The characters in the book are way different than they explained them in the movie, even though there were some similarities. The movie was also very very scary. I was screaming practically the whole time. I didn't think the movie was the best, it was okay. That's all for today. Bye Bye!//

2/14/10 Noah I think it is sort of wierd how the friends have to give flowers to show what they think of others.

mikenzie 2-14-10 I read that one. the crushed one it was ok but when i got to the middle i didn't like if you go to the end tell me what happened. ok, thanks.

Meredith 2/10/10 That book sounds good. I feel bad for Annabel that she got a red rose from someone who she didn't like that way. I am glad we don't to that kinda stuff for valentones day.

Samantha 2/9/10

I am still reading "The BFG", but especially for Valentine's Day, I am reading"Totally Crushed." I haven't read a lot of it, but I will start with a short summary and then continue with the cause and effect. Annabel and her friend Phoebe are both excited for Valentine's Day this year like I am. For them it different, they have to give out flowers that represent what they think of a person. There is a pink carnation and a red carnation. A red carnation is if you love someone and a pink carnation is if you want to be friends. This is also a cause and effect being that when a person gets a red carnation the effect is that love them. The same goes for the pink carnation. When given the effect is that someone wants to be their friend. In the end, one of Annabel and Phoebe's best friends gives Annabel a red carnation and she has no clue what to do about it. She doesn't like that person the same way. Phoebe does like that person in that way though! I have read this book before and it is a really good book. Even though it is a quick read, it tells a great story and you can really learn from it, even though we won't be doing the stuff that do soon. I loved it, so maybe you will love it too!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Samantha 2/4/10 In response to Mikenzie's question and to tell you what I am reading now, I am reading "The BFG" by Roald Dahl. I have just begun the book so I don't have a lot to report. So far, I have read about Sophie seeing the BFG that she thinks is a big giant who is mean and wants to harm her. He is really a nice giant who wants to protect her and help her. She doesn't know that yet though. She thinks she is going to be breakfast for the giant. The giant carries her off to a magical world. While he is doing that, Sophie is freaking out!! She has no clue what is going to happen next. Well that is all for now! Bye! ** //**

mikenzie 1/31/10 sam i really didn't like the book that we read it's like intrstin. What book are you reading now I hope it's better thn the one we were reading.

Bella 1/27/10 Hi Samantha I have read both those books the bomb in the Besslerdorf bus depot was a very good book to me although it did scare me when he was swimming in the pool and someone bombed the pool! I have read the whole series and it is very good!

Samantha 1/26/10 The two books that I read with Mikenzie were similar because they were both mysteries. "Missing Since Monday" is about a missing sister and "The Bomb in the Bessledorf Bus Depot" is about someone who bombed the bus depot. Mikenzie and I both liked "Missing Since Monday" better because it was more interesting. The other book just didn't grab our attention as much. Whoever loves mystery books should definitely read "Missing Since Monday." If you like a little twist to your mystery you should read "The Bomb in the Bessledorf Bus Depot." Bye! **

mikenzie 1-23-10 I would get why it mite be cunfusing but it does not make any sens but if you like it ok.

Samantha Bella, This book is the second book in he series. It is good other than being confusing. The series is very very good i love it so far. So i hope i can keep reading them. Bye ////

Bella 1/21/10 // // Is "The Titans Curse" the 2nd book in the series?Because i''m reading the first book in the series!So far i think it is very good!Have you read the first book?Is it a good book other than it being confuseing? Bye Bye! //

Samantha 1/20/10 Before Mikenzie and I find a book, I am reading "The Titans Curse." It soft of confuses me. At the end of the 2nd book of the series I am reading, Thalia comes alive and she is used throughout the story. It is a very interesting book and maybe someone of you would want to read it.

mikenzie 1-17-10 don't you thik it as a graet boo i ove the ending it was so exiten i love how they followed herat te end. //Bella 1/12/10 i've read missing since monday it was a great book and i loved it! But the title kinda gives it away so ya! Bye bye! and have fun reading!//

// Samantha 1/12/10 I just finished at book called "Missing Since Monday." It is about a family, Mike, Maggie, Courtney, Leigh and I don't know the Dad's name. When the parents go out of town, m Maggie and Mike get to babysit Courtney. During that time, something happens very suddenly. I am not going tell you what happens. It is such a a good book. Maybe someone who likes mysteries can read it, you would love it.

Jared 1.7.10 Like Danielle said, if I had a book I did not like I would have started a new one. I am still a little confused what Heck is?! This sounds like a book I might try reading.

Danielle 1/6/10 I think it is great even though you didn't like it you still stuck with it because it shows that you were determined to finish your book/. Which I think is awesome because if I was reading a book I didn't like I would stop reading it and it's like saying that you had a goal and you reached it. I am confused why is the book called "Heck". I think that I probably wouldn't like it either it sounds like it is about guns and stuff and I don't like guns.//

** Jack Z 1/6/10 I don't think it sounds that bad even though it is pretty violent! It's good that you finished it even though you didn't like it.

I red one book that actully reminds me of that book. Toby Samantha 1/5/10 I just finished a book called "Heck." It isn't a good book on my part. It is about Marlo and Milton and they die in a explosion. They didn't know where they were until someone told them and they freaked! They were in Heck, where the bad kids go. Now Marlo is pretty bad, but MIlton this must be a mistake. He has never done one bad thing in his life except before the explosion. I am not going to tell you anymore but it wasn't that good. It could be a good book to you but it wasn't my favorite.

mikenzie 12-16-09 i think the book sounds graet i have a book after the book that i am reading but i miet want to try it after **

Sarah W I would like to gift The Mysterious Benedict to you, Samantha! I know that you like mystery books and you would most likely like the Mysterious Benedict Society... Just like everyone else that reads it!! Well I hope that you get the book and read it over winter break! **

Bella 12/16/09 I have read the first book of the penderwicks it was very good.It was a interesting book.

//Samantha 12/15/09 Danielle, the author of "The Penderwicks On Gardam Street" is Jane Birdsall. She also has a book called "The Penderwicks". There are only two in her series. I wish there were more. I loved the books. I hope you will be interested in reading them. They are awesome!

Samantha 12/15/09 Jeremy, the reason that the Penderwick girls didn't want their Dad to be happy is because they wanted their Dad all to themselves. They didn't want to share him with a woman they didn't know. Finally, they got the next best mom in the world, Iantha. That is why the girls didn't originally want their Dad to be happy.

Samantha 12/15/09 I am now reading a book called "The Sea of Monsters." I would gift this book to Mr. Shaw. I don't know if he read "The Lightning Thief", the first book in this series. This is the sequel to that book. It is a very interesting book about mythical creatures and how Percy Jackson and his friends are trying to save Camp Half-Blood. I just read the part where Percy Jackson has to figure out if he and his friends should leave Camp Half-Blood without telling, or not go at all and save Grover, Luke,the camp, and more. So far this book has been really good!! So maybe Mr.Shaw would like to read it.//

Jeremy 12/10/09 This Book sounds really funny! Why don't the girls want their dad to be happy? i would want mine to be. Samantha do you like this book and why?

Danielle 12/9/09: Samantha that sounds like a cool book. If I were the Penderwick girls I wouldn't want my daddy to start dating either because I would still be upset about my mother dying and I would want my daddy to be with my sisters and I only. But if dating made him happy I guess I would just have to go along with it and maybe if he ever remarried a lady she would be nice and make us all pancakes. Who is the author of that book so I can go and look it up and maybe read it. Do you know if it is in our school library? Well you wrote a really cool comment I can't wait to read your next comment to see what happens or if you started anew book.

Andy 12/9/09, //This book sounds good and one of those comedy book where the girls do all the thing they can to stop the dad from dating. Also I agree with you if Lantha is the Sweetest I would think she will get married to him.//

Jared 12.8.09 I agree, if Lantha is sweet like you said she will probably marry The dad. Maybe something else will happen and he will find someone else that he likes more? Why do you think the four girls made " The Save Daddy Plan"?

Samantha 12/7/09 I am still reading a book called "The Penderwicks on Gardam Street." The major conflict in this story is when their mother dies and right before she dies, she tells her husband to start dating. The problem was that the four Penderwick girls, did not like that idea. They came up with a plan called "The Save Daddy Plan." In the plan, the four girls try to decide three nasty ladies that their father can go out with, so that he can stop dating. Two of the dates were horrible already and he hasn't had the third. The people that are involved in this "scheme" are, Rosalind, Batty, Skye, Jane, and Anna. I think the third person will be Iantha. She is very sweet. She is the four Penderwick girls neighbor. Even though she is not a nasty person, she is nice to everyone! She has a son named Ben. Batty and Ben play detective all the time together. I think he will like her a lot. In the end, I think he will marry Iantha. The Penderwick girls love her, so everyone will be happy. That is what I think is going to happen.

Emily- I read the exact same book as you. The Lyv ya bunches one! Thats sooo weird!!!

Samantha 12/1/09 I am reading a book called " The Penderwicks on Gardam Street." It is a story about four girls and their lives.When the fourth Penderwick is born, her mom dies in childbirth. The mom knew that she was going to die so she tells the father when she dies, he should start dating. Four months later, he told the four daughters about it. They didn't like the idea so they made up a plan called "The Save Daddy Plan", at mops, (the Penderwick daughter meetings). That is what the story is about so far. I really love the book so far and maybe you can read it and love it too!!

//Meredith 11/29/09 It sounds like a great book. I would like to read it some time. I love books were there are mean girls that are friends with nicer girls who are kinda all friends. It sound good I will just have to read it some day!// // Samantha 11/28/09 I just finished a book called "Luv Ya Bunches" by Lauren Myracle. It is a story about four girls who are different. Each one of them comes from a different culture and has different ways of living. In the end, they all become friends. Despite their differences, they made a website called "Luv Ya Bunches", so they can IM each other. Quin and Modessa are the queen bees of fifth grade. Milla, Violet, Katie-Rose and Yasaman, are all in the fifth grade too. Milla was sucked in with Quin and Modessa and she didn't know what to do because she was nice and they were mean. Violet also got sucked in to that group as well. Yasaman and Katie-Rose were BFF's from the start. Somewhere in between there, Milla loses her lucky bobble head turtle, Tally. Violet found it but kept it for herself. In the end, Violet sticks it into a couch cushion and Modessa finds it. I am not going to tell you more because it is a great book and I hope you read it.

​ Bella 11/27/09 I love mystery books they are great!I'm reading nancy drew all over again because i finished the series! They are a very interesting series!

Sarah L. 11/20/09 I love mystery books because there is always a new adventure to find out! I also might read that series after I finish the series I'm reading, and also what is a blue fire? And if I new what it means, every night WOW.//

// ** Sarah W. 11/18/09 I like mystery books. Maybe you can show it to me at school! That sounds like an interesting book because there are so many mysteries and so much stuff going on!! I agree with you that it is a good book even though I never even read it!! ( I agree because you described the story so well) **

Toby: Hi your book looks very cool I might want to read it after I finish my book.

Meredith 11/18/09 Samantha I love mystery books. Once I finish the book I am reading I might want to read it, it sounds really good. A blue fire sounds interesting I would like to read. ( good comment you did a good job on describing the book). //

Samantha 11/17/09 I just finished a book called " Password to Larkspur Lane." It is a really great mystery because there are two mysteries in one which both connect. One is about a crew that is sending messages to pigeons to their locations where they are hiding. The other one happened in Nancy's grandmother's friends backyard. It was a blue fire that happened each night and their housekeeper was acting really weird, something was bugging him. In the end, Morgan, the housekeeper, connects to the mystery. I am not going to tell you more cause that will give away the really interesting part. It is a really great book, and maybe you can try it. Jared, I read that you are on 39 clues. Those books sound very interesting to me, maybe you can tell me how many there are in the series? Izzy, I also read yours. I was going to read the first Harry Potter. Is that the one? If so, then I will be reading that too. Both of those books sound very interesting to me. I loved the way both of you described the characters.
