Sarah+L

Mr. Shaw 6.7.10 Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the wiki, Sarah. Five house points for red! Emily 6-6-10 I agree with Samantha and Sarah!! I thought it was to see what books people were reading and about those books!

Samantha 6-3-10 Sarah, me too! Im glad you liked the wiki too!

Sarah L 6-3-10 Well, I thought that the reading wiki was a good way to get people to read more and to see what would be good for someone to read! So I liked having the wiki to remind me to read more!!!

Jeremy 5/30/10 This book sounds very dramatic! Is this a boy book or no?

mikenzie 5-30-10 that book sounds great i dont think its y kind of book but maye i wil try it. Sarah L 5-25-10 Right now I am reading a book called My Last Best friend! I is a really good book to read in the summer and it also follows onto the 2nd book called My New Best Friend, and that seems really good! I would choose My Last best friend as a good book to read in the summer or now! Its about a girls named Ida May and she is going into 4th grade and her best friend elizabeth moves away and Ida is really nervous about making a new best friend! Jenna is a gril from school who you would think she is so popular but she is really mean if you get on her bad side. Ida gets invited to Jenna's party only because Jenna's mom made her invite everyone to it. ida really does not want to go but her parents are making her go to be good friends with Jenna! At schooll their is a new girl named Stacy but thats not her real name. She has been making up lies about herself. Stacy told Jenna and Ida that her parents travel the world doing work and says that she is staying with her "rich" aunt but she is really staying with her grandmother! Also Stacy mentions that Stacy is not her real name is Ida wrote a letter to Stacy says "Whats your real name if it is not Stacy but Ida didn't put her name so Stacy won't know. Ida got all anxios about putting that letter and she should of never done it. After lunce, Stacy found a note on her desk and it says that question that Ida asked and she wrote in on the chalkboard. Along with her real name is says, "Whats your real name? So all day Ida was wondering what the question meat. So thats all I have read and I really want to know what happenes at Jennas sleepover!!!!! Also I want to find out what the question "Stacy" wrote on the chalkboard!

Sarah L 5-21-10 I finished the book __**Dear dumb Diary**__ and now I started a book called __**My last Best friend**__! So far, I only got to the 1st chapter but it is really good.It is about a girl named Ida May, and her best friend Elizabeth moves away and she is going into 4th grade and she wants to make a new one.

mikenzie 5-21-10 sarah don't you like the book it's so good i am reading it too.

Mr. Shaw 5.13.10 Hi Sarah, it looks like you got a good start on your comment, but didn't finish it. Please add more. I want to know what your second and third reasons are! Samantha 5-12-10 Sarah, I have seen that series at Borders before. They look really funny! I love funny books because they always make me laugh really hard! Well, thats all for now!!

Sarah L 5-11-10 If I had to be friends with any one in Dear Dumb Diary, I would want to be friends with..........Isabella. Here's why, 1) She is very kind and nice and it seems that she is a very good friend! 2)Also in the book, Jamie says she would always be on her side. 3) She also seems really funny and she wants everything to be on her side and if someone else has something that she has she will change it right away! Thats why I would want to be her friend! Sarah L 5-9-10 I am going to connect Dear Dumb diary to Diary of a Wimpy kid. I am doing that because they are a lot alike, like when they are at school Jamie has a best friend and the main character in Diary of a wimpy kid Greg has a best friend Dudly but I'm not sure that's his name though. The two books have the same setting ( at school) and they have to deal with real life actions.

mikenzie 5-2-10 that suonds good and funny like the part when the blly called jamie peach girl thats so funny.

Sarah L 5-2-10 I have been reading "Dear Dumb Diary." So far in the book, it has been charcter that are make believe and charcters that seem real. Jamie is the main charter in the book and she has a best friend names Isabella. In the book one day if someone calls you a nickname, it will go around the whole school the next day and you will be called that the rest of the school year. One day at lunch, Jamie was eating a peach and it rolled into this bullies lunch and the bully started called her Peach girl. So now everybody calls her Peach girl but Isabella, of course.

SarahL HOMEWORK PASS

//mikenzie 4-21-10 Your book sounds great.

Bella 4.21.10 Oh i Have read that book i would give it 4 stars too!! It was really good! I loved it!!//

SarahL 4-19-10 (late) The last book that I have finished was the Clique book number 2. For that book I would give a 4 out of 4 star rating. 1 reason why was because I could never put the book down and it was REALLY interesting. The second reason why is because all the characters in the book have all different personalities and they do there own thing is different ways. The third reason why is because they rule the school and when someone in the school has a party they HAVE to be invited or they will invite themselves.

//Emily April 17 2010 I have heard of Dear Dumb Diary, but never read it. Is the main character a boy or a girl? Why does the author call the diary dumb? How much pages are in the book???//

//Sarah W I used to read Dear Dumb Diary books but I got bored of them so I switched books. I have never heard of Tea Shop Girls. I agree that the Dear Dumb Diary books are funny but I think that they can get boring and sometimes a little babyish. I also like that there are pictures but sometimes I don't like pictures when I am reading a book because then you get to make up your own characters about what they look like and everything, just like in my book, there are no pictures so I get to imagine what the characters look like all by myself... And I have thought of what they look like before because it reminds me of my book that I lover to read because it is a mystery and I get to make up part of it all by myself! There are three books in the series and they are all is the Mysterious Benedict Society book series!!!!!! I suggest that you try reading those when you are done with Dear Dumb Diary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!//

SarahL 4-8-10 Right now I am reading a book called "Dear dumb diary." I would be reading the tea shop girls but I didn't like it that much than the 1st time I read it. Dear dumb diary is a really good book and funny! I like how there are some pictures that go along with the book and that they make the charchters sound like real people. .

SarahL 3-26-10 With Springbreak coming I am going to start a new book called "The Tea shop Girls." It seems like a really good book and very intreasting! What I have read so far it is about these girls and one of the girls grandmother owens the tea shop and they go there a lot and talk about a lot of different stuff and they are really close friends and they would tell eachother anything! I think that Izzy would injoy it because we like a lot of the same books!

//Jeremy 2/25/10 The British remind me of the Germans in the holocaust because they come in and take something from you, not one person can stop them! Sarah, what do you think//

SarahL (Late) I am reading the book "My brother Sam is dead" it surprises me because the solders can just come into your store and take whatever they want and not pay for any of it and they take away stuff that you love but they don't care. I would NOT want to live in the time that Tim and his family is in right now because they are in no ways safe and people can die in a second because the solders come and go.

//peter 3/11/10 Sarah my sister read the whole sires herself and in her perspective she loved them we also have the movie.

Izzy 3.7.10 I would still want to be someones friend even if they were not popular. It sounds like this book has a lot of drama in it.//

SarahL 3-2-10 I am on the 2nd clique book "Best Friends For Never" and in the book Massie want to prove to her mom her and clair are best friends so Massie and Clair do a Halloweenie party at Massie's house and Clair is the co-host. They are doing a Halloween party because at their school these girls Becca and Liz were throwing a Halloween party and Massie thought it was a really good idea. Becca and Liz were starting a rumor that Massie is not so popular anymore and people are not talking to her but that is not true and that's another reason why she is hosting the Halloween party at her house.Kristin is about of Massie's clique but she can't go because at school the girls got introuble because they wore their halloween coustume and it's NOT school appropriate for school and her parents are kinda strict so she coudn't go. I don't have any answer to the question that we are supposed to write about because none of the girls in the clique are unusaul.

mikenzie 2-28-10 who's the book i am reading te serise to but i am on the frist one you areon the second. i love it so far we have been talking in class about it but i would like to know some more. i will kepp looking on the page for more updates.

2/25/10 Danielle Sarah that sounds like a great book. Is Clair and Massie friends or are they total enemies? THis book seems like it is my type maybe I will check it out after i finish my book that i am reading now. See you tomorrow you wrote a really nice comment. Bye

SarahL 2-24-10 I am reading the series "The Clique" by Lisa Harrison. It is about this clique and the girls names are Massie Block, Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, Alica Rivera and Clair Lyons who is trying to fit in there clique. Massie is like the leader of the group. Claire's dad and Massie's dad were really good friends in college and Clair's family moved into Massie's guest house and she try's so hard to fit in but every time she try's to talk to them she always embarrese her self. The setting is in the city Westchester. The places where the girls go is Massie's house and her guest house, their school "OCD" (Octavian Country Day School). 

Bella 2/23/10 Thanks Abhi. Whtch book are youm talking about the Lightning Theif or the City of Ember? And Sarah the book sounds great and I wouls like to read it after hearing or reading all the amazing things you've said about this book!

SarahL 2-12-10 In the City of Ember, Lina and Doon try and see were the river goes out of Ember and see were it heads. So there is a signing with the whole city and when Doon is waiting for Lina by the pipe-worksbut Lina can't go to pipe-works so fast because the mayor has put up these signs that says "Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet wanted for spreading vicious rumors if you see them, report to mayor's cheif guard . Beleive nothing they say. Lina has to bring Poppy with her because she doesn't want to lose her while they are heading our of Ember.So when the singing is over she will go to Doon with the croud so she won't get caught. When they are on the boat out of Ember, it is a crazy because the river is'nt straight so its a lot of waves! The cause is Lina and Doon trying not to get caught by the Mayor, and the effect is trying to hide and if they get caught run as fast as they can!!!!!

 Abhi 2/7/10 I watched the movie and he gets eaten up by a monster.

 Jocelyn 2/7/10 Do you like the book? I do. I wish that she would write more books, or did they. I don't know, I will have to see if they have yet.

//2-1-10 Jack Z Sarah, I saw the movie of this book. It was really good. Why do you think he is keeping all the food to himself? I might read the book too.

Sarah Lehman 1-31-10 In the book **__The City of Ember ,__** Lina and Doon found out that the mayor is hoarding a hudge closet full of canned food that no one can eat anymore because he's keeping it to himself, also all the are running out because the mayor is also keeping it to himself in the closet. Lina and Doon found out more of the letter and were trying to find out the message. The book to me is kinda a mystery becuase they are trying to find out wht the message is and how they will keep there selves alive with short supplies and food.

//Abhi 1/31/10 Sarah in the movie the cans of food are hidden because the mayor keeps it to himself. And losing a family member hurts you a lot.//

//Izzy 1/31/10 I Think that if Doon finds the key he will tell Lina and they will open the door that was locked. Do you think they will find a way to get out of Ember? I think that if they find a way out of Ember they wil get lead into a world where they don't ever run out of anything and the lights never go out.

Jocelyn Spizman 1/27/10// //I really wonder where the cans of food are going. Don't you? Because they are left their and all of the sudden all of the supplies are gone. Everything is going wrong, though I would feel the worst for Lina because her grandma died and thats the worst part. Losing family is VERY hard and in Lina's situation is even worse so that made me happier cause their is supplies in my life and it is rare that that could happen and nobody has died in my family yet since I have been alive, No jinx I hope.//

Sarah Lehman 1-24-10 I am reading The City of Ember with Jocelyn and // Izzy. // In the book, Lina's grandmother passed away so Lina and her sister Poppy have to live with a neighbor. One day Lina saw her friend Lizzie and saw her with a bag full with canned pinapples, creamed corn and all that stuff that is rare in Ember so Lina was wondering were she gotten the cans of food. After Lina had asked Lizzie were she got the food she found out that she has a boyfriend and he gets the food in the back of the suppliy closet. So Lizzie gave Lina some food and had a great dinner with Poppy and her neibor. // Izzy 1/23/10 I think that Doon is going to find a way to get all the lights to work in the city. Where do you think the key is? Jocelyn 1/17/10 If I was going to pick a character that i like the most it would have to be Lina. She is adventurous and exciting. Who would you pick.

Izzy 1/16/10 What is your favorite chapter so far in the book? My favorite chapter so far is the 1st because you get to meet all the same characters. What is your favorite chapter so far? My favorite character is Poppy becaus she is always happy. What is your favorite character and why?

Izzy 1/10/10 I probably would not want to work at the age 12 because you still have alot to learn and alot to experience.

Abhi 1/10/10 I would like to stay in school at 12 although it would be nice to help the town.//

//shale 1/7/010 i agree with you that does sound like the best book from what you said i agree

Meredith 1/7/10 Sarah that sounds like a great book. I dont think that when I am 12 I wouldn`t want to work. I would also be scared to be in a town where all the lights flicker.//

I and reading The City of Ember with Jocelyn and Izzy! The 1st chapter of the boo kinda explains what the book is about in some ways like the the setting is a cite where all the lights are running out and they flicker all the time and in the beging it tells you that when you turn 12 you don't go to school anymore you do town work! I think as we go threw the book it will tell more about the charcters.

Sarah L Dec 17, 2009: I'm reading the book the Lighting Thief! I would like to "gift" it to Izzy because I think she will like this book because she is reading Harry Potter and I think it relates to her book!

Sarah L Dec 8, 2009: I just finished the book __**Camp Confidential #4.**__ I would have to say that this book is the best one out of the four that I had been reading in this series, because this girl named Alex is the main character and she loves sports especially soccer! Alex is outgoing and never scared of anything. She has a best friend named Brynn and they do everything together when they have free time! But the conflict is that Alex and Brynn wanted to be in the same electives the last 2 weeks at camp and that didn't happen because they wanted to do different stuff. So Brynn got acting and Alex got woodworking for there electives. While Alex was in woodworking she met this girl named Valerie. So for a few days they have been playing together in free swim and usually Alex plays with Brynn for free swim but that didn't happen. At free swim Brynn was playing with this girl named Sarah and she is in the same cabin as Brynn and Alex are, and a few days later Brynn got really mad at Alex because Alex wasn't playing with her. Valerie had the same problem with Sarah that she wasn't playing with her so the next day at woodworking Valerie told Alex that the way that they will be friends again if they made a present for them and that they would relize that fighting is the last soluction to and problem and so Alex and Brynn made Sarah and Brynn a present at woodworking. The next day Valerie gave her present to Sarah, and Alex gave Brynn her present and that's how the problem was solved!

//Jocelyn 12/07/09 sarah, that book sounds really cool. I wonder what happens at the very end. Does every book have a different character as the main character. How many Books of this seires are their? Though i think that it could be a realistic fiction book from your description but I am not Sur e because you are th e one that read it not me so you probably Know.//

SarahL 12/3/09: I also finished the book Camp Confidential #3. This won was about a girl named Grace and she has red curly hair like me! She is the kind of girl that does not have that doen't have a best friend at camp only a lot of friends and she gets left out because in the cabins free time they only play in pairs on 2. So the cabin has a enemy cabin 3A and they be all mean to her cabin 3C. One day when Grace was is Drama class she had to pick a partner to practine lines with and she and her friend from her cabin Brynn, grace wanted to be partners with her but this girl named Gaby asked her first so they were partners. So gaby and grace were swimming togather at free swim and grace noticed that gaby was mean and controlive and only cared about herself! I think the book is fiction because some stuff in the book is not real like skipping acitivativites to read a book like Grace.Grace had to read this book if she wanted to go to WetWorld, a Water park!ally cool

//Izzy 11.29.09 Camp Confidential sounds like a very exciting book. I think I'll read it myself sometime. Jenna sounds like a crazy character,but I wouldn't want to be in her cabin at camp playing craxy tricks on me.

Bella 11/27/09 I have read the first book! It was good!

11/20/09 peter: sarah i think its a good book but my sister might like it more. hope you like the seconed//

SarahL11/19/09: I just finished the book **__Camp Confidential.__** .It's was a really good book but I had to start on the second book instead of the first because they didn't have the first one yet but that's okay. I loved the book because it was about a girl and she went to this overnight camp and I'm going to go to overnight camp this year. The girl is named Jenna. She is the girl in the cabin that does all these pranks and they are really funny ones! One prank that she does is at the camp social she wasn't having any fun and her sibling were having the time of there life's, so she felt left out so she went to the animal farm there and she let them out of there cages in the mess hall were the social was held. So I got the third one so I am going to read that one and see how it is!
