5/30/10- There are so many books and series I have read this year. I think that the best ones were the Regarding series, Percy Jackson and the Demigod files, and The Mysterious Benedict Society. All of these books were great and very different. The Regarding series was about a small class that have a crazy friend in California. I love this series. Another book was Percy Jackson and the Demigod files. I really liked this book because it had short stories about Percy and the other characters in the book. It also had interviews and little puzzles. THis book is great for people who have finished the Percy Jackson series. The last book I read that I really liked was The Mysterioud Benedict Society. This book is about four kids who are very smart who solve mysteries. It was a really great book. There are 3 more books. Here are the 3 books I recomend for you to read over the summer.

5/15/10- I am reading Letters from Camp. It is by the same author as the last few books I have read, Kate Klise. Kate Klise lives and writes in her farm in Missouri. She comes up with her own ideas for her stories. Her sister, M Sarah Klise illustrates most of her books. The books she has written are Regarding the Fountain, Regarding the Sink, Regarding the Trees, Regarding the Bathrooms, Regarding the Bees, Shall I Knit you a Hat? Why do you Cry? Imagine Harry, Little Rabbit and the Night Mare, Little Rabbit and the Meanest Mother on Earth, Deliver us from Normal, Far from Normal, Letters from Camp, Dying to Meet You, Over my Dead Body, and, Stand straight Ella Kate. Kate Klise is a great author.

5/10/10- Have you ever read Regarding the Bathrooms, it is a bestseller! It is the 4th book in the Regarding series. In this book, the 6th graders all have jobs that don't work. They need to clean the bathrooms and they find out there is a volcano in their town. This is a great book and everyone should read it.

Izzy 5.9.10 That sounds like a good book. I can't believe they're in summer school and their jobs are not working out. I would be very upset if that happened to me! How would you feel?

4/29/10- I am reading Regarding the Bathrooms. I haven't finished the book yet. So far, I like it. It is about a 6th grade class that is in summer school. They all have jobs that aren't working out. This book is written in letters. I recommend this book everyone.

4/18/10- I am in the middle of reading Percy Jackson the Demigod Files. It is a book about Percy Jackson. There are interviews and short stories about them. I like this book a lot. The stories are like mini Percy Jackson book. This book is really good and I recommend it to anyone who has read the Percy Jackson books.

4/14/10- Julia-sounds like a great book!!!

4/11/10- I just finished Abduction. It is about a man who stole his kid from his wife six years after their divorce. He pretends to be a UPS person and he steals Matt (his kid) from his kindergarten classroom by luring him into the car with his dog. Then he leaves the dog at the park and takes Matt to his apartment. He lets him live there for a while. Matt's sister Bonnie is very worried. She sees him at a baseball game and she is also taken with him. They manage to escape him in the end. I think this is an ok book

1. The main characters name is Harry 2. He is trying to kill Voldemort 3. It is the last book

3/4/10-I just finished Mr. Poppers penguins. It is very different than the first part I read. First of all, now he has 10 penguins, and he made a place in the basement for all of them. The biggest difference is that he is making a play for the theater. He is making money which is good because he needed it. Everyone is having a great time with the penguins. This is an awesome book and I recommend it to everyone.

2/26/10-I am reading Mr. Poppers Penguins. I have not gotten far. So far Mr. Popper has one penguin, its name is Captain Cook. Captain Cook is very curious. When he first saw Mrs. Popper, he bit her! They got off to a bad start ,and already Mrs. Popper did not a penguin in her house. As you can see, I have not gotten very far, but I think this is a good book.

2/20/10- I am reading Three Cups of Tea. It is about a man named Greg who is building schools for girls in poor towns in Pakistan. It is really different than the last book I read (Trial by Journal) because Three Cups of tea is a nonfiction book about a man building schools and Trial by Journal is a fiction book about a girl solving a murder case. I haven't finished it yet but it is a really good book.

2/15/10-Julia, isn't the book great so far? I think its really weird that Perry dresses up in a gorilla suit. Do you think that he is Priscilla, or Larry? I'm pretty sure he is Priscilla. About Mr. Tyle's money, I still wonder how he gets it because a zookeeper doesn't seem like a great job. Do you know why Bob White buries animals, because I don't understand why. Bye!!!

Entry 3 2/11/10- Hi Julia! The book is great so far. Unfortunately, I read //way// ahead up to page 125. The part that I thought was weirdest was when Bob White taught the rats to eat the sandwiches out of his hand. Did you think that was weird? Don't you think it is nice of Lily to write letters and draw pictures to Robin? Now that I read ahead, I think that it is possible that he dressed up as Priscilla and drew the pictures. Don't you wonder how Tyle made all his money if he didn't go to school? This book is great and I recommend it to everyone.

Entry 2 2/4/10- Hey Julia, how do like the book so far. I like the book. It was so good, I had to read ahead. But, don't worry, I won't tell. My favorite part was when Lily made the first letter to Mr.Holmes. I thought it was funny and it explained why it seemed like all the entrys were like letters. What did you like the best? I wonder why LIly never really talked to Perry even though they were in the same class as each other, and now after he died she acts like she and Perry were good friends. What do we read next?

Entry 1 2/1/10- The book (Trial by Journal) is pretty good so far. I also like how the author made a newspaper. I didn't like how there was a scipt, for me its harder to read than words. For the biography, I think that the actress was writing it, not Lily. The way Bob White was writing, it was almost impossible to read! Do you think Bob White killed Perry? I don't. I know that in the book Bob says he didn't and I probably shouldn't believe him, but I do.

1/21/10- I am reading a book called __Miss Spitfire Reaching Helen Keller.__ It is a book about Helen Keller from her teacher's point of view. At first Annie (her teacher) is being really mean to Helen. Then she decided to teach her like an infant. Annie sticks to Helen like a bug. She constantly spells into Helen's hand. I havn't gotten fairly fair yet, so that is all I can tell you about this book right now.

1/13/10- I am reading a book called City of Ember.Two of the characters are Lina and Mrs. Murdo. I think Lina is a bit like my sister because Lina takes care of her little sister and my sister takes care of the people she babysits. I think Mrs. Murdo is like one of my friends. They are alike because they both are very nice and they care about other people.

1/5/10- here are my clues 1. One of the main characters name is Phillip 2. Phillip becomes blind 3. Phillip is stuck on a small island in the middle of nowhere 4. Phillip is on the island with another man and a cat.

12/17/09- I am reading a book called Maniac Magee. It is about a 12 year old orphan who goes to a town which is separated. Blacks on one part, whites on another. Maniac doesn't see the colors or the bad in people. All he sees is the good in people. Maniac found a home with a black family called the Beales. People thought it was unusual to have a white kid with a black family. At the beginning, everyone wanted him to go away. After he unties this confusing knot, everyone likes him. When he found out that when he was untieng the knot,one of Amanda's ( his friend from the Beales) special books was destroyed, he leaves. He didn't want the Beales to get hurt any more. He finds a home again, then loses it. I don't want to spoil the ending so you will just have to read it.

12/10/09 Jacob- Hey Erin! This book sounds funny. (her mom believes that she is the queen of a alien planet.) your doing a great job! Keep it up!

Emily December 10- This sounds like a great book. It sorta reminds me of a book. I think it's called The Pink Planet. Keep up the awesome work!!!

12/10/09- I am reading Princess of Another Planet. It is about a girl named Gracie. She is poor, but her cousin Wren is rich. Her mom is crazy and she believes that she is the queen of an alien planet. It starts out when Wren finds out she is going to a camp where you swim and ride horses and play tennis. That is exactly what Wren doesn't want, but that is exactly what Gracie wants. They decide to switch places. Gracie goes to Wren's camp and Wren stays ino the tree house. They don't get caught till later. Then her mom starts giving her lessons on how to fight aliens. She gets caught when she stabs someone at camp. She tries to find the aliens.I haven't finished the story so I don't know what happens next. So far, this story is okay.

meet a really mean doll named Princess Mimi ( Mean Mimi is what they call her). She tries to attack them and make them her friends, but they refuse. I don't want to spoil the ending so if you want to know what happens, you have to read the book.

Alix 12-1-09-hey Erin! I think The Doll People sounds really good. I like books where things that can't really happen do because I like to imagine what it would feel like in the place and in that scenario. Like in The Doll People, wouldn't it be cool if your dolls come to life? Or maybe it wouldn't because they might not be there when you wake up. My sister would be so sad if her dolls just walked away one morning without her knowing. It sounds like a really great book Erin!!

Tali. 12-1-09. Hi Erin! I really really want to read that book! ( The Doll People) It looks soooooo good! Is it scary at all? Because they are alive dolls. But I am looking forward to reading that book! Good job!!!!!!!!!

11/18/09- I am reading a Great Books story called Prot and Krot.This story is about a soldier who meets two old men. They tell him that they have no money so he gives them the last of his money. Later in the story, he meets them again, they are on a raft that they built from twigs. They asked them what he would want if he could have anything in the world. He tells them three things and they come true. I think that this is a good story.

11/30/09- I just finished a book called The Doll People. It is a book about dolls that are alive. The main character is Annabelle Doll. She is 8 years old but has been alive for at least 100 years. She is very bored until she finds her Auntie Sarah's journal. She goes out to look for her along with her Uncle Doll and her brother, Bobby. They don't find her aunt but they find some other dolls who are very friendly. Annabelle becomes friends with the girl named Tiffany. Together they find Auntie Sarah after many tries and readings in her diary. I like this book and the sequel, The Meanest Doll in the World.

Sam-12/9/09 Sounds tough for the dolls to do this I might find a libarey that has it.
