Shale

//Joey 5/31/10 It must be funny if Jeff Kinney says it's funny.

Shale 5/31/010 If I could reccomend a book for the summer I would recommend the book Big Nate. I think the book is amazing and i would recommend it for any season. It will make you laugh The book is very good and even Jeff Kinney says it is very funny on the cover. I recommended this book to my friend and he said that he finished it in one day because it was so good.

Brandon 5/21/10 That sounds really good do you wish that happend to you and why are the detention slips funny Im glad you liked it.

Mr. Shaw 5.18.10 Thanks for telling us about Nate. I haven't heard of this book before. You have earned three house points for the green team!

Shale I just finished a book called Big Nate. It is a great book the main charecter is Nate. I would want to be his friend. He gets a fortune cookie and it says he is gonna have good luck. the fortune really wasnt right from the story. He gets so many detention slips for many funny reasons. The reason i would choose nate to be my best friend is because in the book he is funny he has cool hair and his friends are awesome. One of his friends is named francis he is the really smart one he is funnie because he makes up jokes that dont make sense. His other friend is so funny and he used to be the class clown. Finally the reason i like him is because he is confident in himself bacause once he tried to make the very mean teacher laugh and he never gives up in himself until he gets a detention slip then he stops but he is still confident. i would rate this book a solid ten it is amazing its like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. They are making a second boo also.//

Andy 5-2-10 Shale that was a smart thing to do change one word for your truth or lie that are synonyms and how old is fudge is it like a fake marraige or real one.

shale 5/2/010 Jack z was right the book was called the Last Straw. Well now I am reading fudge- a- mania. I just started so im not really sure what the conflict is. Well in the book Fudge is gonna get married to Sheila Tubman Fudges brother worst night mare. They both move to maine and fudges brother is mad but atleast he can bring a friend.

Brian 4/29/10 I agree with Joey. I am almost 100% sure that The Last Straw was the title of one of the books. Have fun reading!

Joey 4/25/10 I disagree with Jack. I'm almost sure te books name is The Final Straw. I think number two is the lie. So Shale, who's right?

ack Z. 4-25-10 I think the first one is wrong because I read all the books and The Final Straw isn't the title's name.//

shale 4/25 I am going to finish the 3rd book in Diary of a Wimpy Kid really soon. My two truths and a lie are, 1 The third book is called the final Straw. 2 in the 3rd book Greg and Rodricks gym teacher doesnt like Greg because Rodrick isn't so good at sports and the coach just doesnt like Rodrick, so he doesnt like Greg. 3 In the beggining of the book Greg talks about new years resolution and his Dads resolution is to go on a diet. tyler number 1 is wrong.

//Brian 2/24/10 To me Rodrick Rules was my second favorite book in the series. The Last Straw was my first. I hope you like it!

Brandon 4-22-10 Shale im reading that book right now. I very much enjoy did you like it?

Jared 4-18-10 Doesn't this series never get old? I agree this book contains less action than book one. I hope you love this series as much as me.//

shale 4/18/010 I finished Rodrick Rules in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I am now reading the third book The last Straw im not so far into the book to tell about it so im gonna tell about Rodrick Rules. I would give the book 2 and a half because, 1 the first book is better in my opinion. 2 in the first book they have halloween and they have to domcrazy things like messing with teenagers. 3 the first book is more intense because greg and rowleys friendship is almost broken up.

//Brian 4/17/10 I read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series already. Also, when I saw the movie, I thought it was pretty acurate to the book. Some minor things were different though.//

//shale 4/11/010 like i said im reading diary of a wimpy kid series. i finished the first book and halfway through the second book. i will talk about the second book because im still reading. so the second book of the diary of a wimpy kid series is called rodrick rules. So far he does rule beacuse greg goes went swimming over break on the swim team and he gets picked up in rodricks van and he has to sit in the back and he gets crushed by rodricks instruments.

Brandon 3/8/10 Shale I have read the hole sires and it was really good and I think that would be a really good book to read over any break because it is funny and I think alot of people read it because that how they got that there and I saw the movie and the book is better then the movie it was not bad but the book is just better.

tyler I read all the books and I really like them i had to at least 3 time or something like that did you see the movie i really like it.

SarahL 3-26-10 Shale, I saw the movie and I read the book and I really liked the movie because it was a lot like the book! Some things were different! Like Jared said like these books, they never get old!

Jared 3-25-10 Shale, I definitely agree, this series NEVER gets old to me. I must have read this series 3 or 4 times. Dont you think other series' gets old after read them once or twice. Some books just have great writing and never get old. Have a good spring break!!!

shale 3.25.010 If i could recommend a book for someone to read over spring break I would recommend a diary of a wimpy kid series or just one book. I would read the first book and mabye take the second with you or read it too. The books are good in my opinion and if you have already read it if you want you read it again the book never gets old to me. The best book of the series is ether the last book Dog days or the first book of then diary of a wimpy kid book

Joey 3/25/10 Shale I know this comment is late but you haven't posted a new one yet. I also would not want to live in those times. And the book is called My BROTHER Sam is Dead, not my uncle.//

Jocelyn 3/22/10 I agree and I would also be stuck in the middle or be neither like Tim. In the story you can't really tell if the author would be a Tory or a Patriot.

shale 3/21/010 Like many people I am reading My Uncle Sam is Dead. I would never want to be alive in that time i would never be able to choose a patriot or tory life and Sam. If I were their in that time I would want to be like tim I would favor both kinds patriots and tories. At some parts in the story I would favor Sam and others Tim and others Life Tim and Sams father. I feel bad for life because continental guards come in and want his gun the brown bass so they can use the gunpowder and use it for war.

peter 3/11/10 //hey shale so how is mr. klutz doing hope not to many crazy things and that sires is really good and hilarious.//

shale sorry mr.shaw i accidentaly forgot to write about the topic sorry.

shale 3/7/010 i finished mr. klutz is nuts. he is so crazy. he is the new principal of the school. its starts simple with a kid named aj who hates school along with his friends. then he has an enemy named andrea. she has a sidekick kind of. her name is emily. one crazy thing that mr klutz does is that he likes to jump off of buildings. He gives the school an award if they do something that is a big challenge for the class. he kisses a pig too. there are many more crazy stuff that he does but i dont want to spoil the book.

Jared 3-6-10 // Shale, My Weurd School series is great. Also, I hope I can get a chance to read the Percy Jackson series. // // Brandon 3/4/10 Shale, I have been trying to read that book but I have not yet had a chance but i think its a really good book and i want to read it some day.

Brian 3/4/10 To answer your question, there is no place that Amy and Dan have been to the most but the place that they are currently at is France. Have fun reading! //

// Sarahl3-3-10 I read 2 book in My Weird School series. How do you like the book so far? When I read one of the books I thought it was a good but not my favorite but I hope that you like it!

Brian 3/2/10

Toby March 4 2010 That sounds like a really gooooooooood book

Last year, I read the My Weird School series. When I read it, I thought it was okay. I liked it but it wasn't my favorite series. Have fun reading!//

//Abhi 3/2/10 Shale, when I read the book I thought that miss Todd was Andrea's mom also.

shale 2/28/010 after i finished the titans curse in the percy jackson series i took a brake from it and i finished up three books in the my wierd school series. The book i will talk aboit is the Ms. Todd is nodds trust from what i read she is very odd. The story mainly takes place in AJs school. Ms. Todd looks like andrea a lot and i thought that andreas mom was Ms. todd.

shale 2/21/010 i have read the lightning thief and seen the movie. The movie is not really alike to the book i like the book way better. Like usual they kind of leave parts out of the movie than the book. I think that the book is a little more detailed or take that back way more detaled than the movie. One thing is that in the book they said that annabeth had blond hair and in the movie she has ether darker brown or black hair i dont remember. The part were they sneak into the truck thing and i think that annbeths mom looks like her so i think she should have blond hair in the book. Ive always wondered who would win percys dad or annabeths mom they both have cool powers.

Sam 2/23/10 Brain I heard the movie was good and shale im also reading the lightning theif series but im on #2 by!

Brian 2/18/10 I have heard that the new Percy Jackson movie was horrible. I wonder what you think of it because I know that you saw the movie. Have fun!//

Jared 2-15-10 I know you saw the movie, and was the book any different?? The movie was so cool and I hope the make more.

Abhi 2/14/10 Shale, I went to watch the first movie and it was amazing!!! I hope you get a chance to see it.

//shale 2/14/010 i am finishing up the titans curse. probably done tomarrow one of the causes in the story is the part were percy had to fight a big monster and he got help from his friends. The effect is that percy practicly had to risk his life to defeat him with his friends Thalia and annabeth helping him. Also joey i think you shoulg give it another try in my opinion and the first book is good and if you like it look foward to the booksahead so far they are very good and interesting. I would rate this book a ninebecause it is getting excititng its hard to put the book down.

Mr. Shaw 2/7/10 What about an example of cause and effect in The Titan's Curse? Can you think of one? I'll bet there are lots of them!

Joey Shale, one tip work on your grammar. Everyone seems to be reading this series. I started the first book and didn't like it. So I'm wondering should I give it another try???//

shale 2/6/010 I'm finishing up the titans curse. It is getting more interesting now. Percy finds out that Zoey is a hunter. Percy fights off this big monster with friends help. Nico is not included as much now but i bet that percy still thinks that he is pretty annoying like i thought. The best book i read in the percy jackson series is the Lightning Thief. it makes the story sound good and introduces the charectors very well. If i had to rank the book like last time i would give it a seven because the book is getting more exciting now.

//Jared 2-5-10 I was about to read the Lightning Theif series, but I ran out of time last year. When I finish 39 Clues I will probably start reading these books again. I really want to see the movie. Do you?

Brian 1/4/10// //Shale, you can find those Stories to Solve books at the public library because that is where I got them from! Have fun with the Percy Jackson series!//

shale 1/31/010 i am still reading the titans curse. it is okay so far. Percy finds two people like him. One guy named Nico is really annoying. he does a lot of crazy and annoying. He can be good. So far i would rate this book on a scale one through ten a six so far. It is a good book and it is confusing at some times. it can be chalenging but fun.

//Brian 1/30/10 I agree with Shale that the last words in the book were interesting. Also, I've heard that Percy Jackson series are very good. Have fun reading!//

//**Mr. Shaw 1/29/10:** Good entry, Shale! You did a nice job of comparing the two books, even though they seem to be quite different. I wouldn't say the Percy Jackson books are historical fiction, though. Which category would describe a book that has characters with super powers and situations that couldn't really happen?

Brandon 1/29/10 Shale I agree with Brian that the best chapter is the last chapter.

Jack Motzko 1/21/010 shale in time for andrew what kind of time is he doing is it jail is it time before he goes to heven what kind of time!//

//Brian 1/21/10 Hi Shale, now that I read the ending, I think the best chapter is the last chapter. Also, I disagree with Brandon. I think some of the chapters in the beginning were good but not all of them.//

//Brandon 1/21/10 Shale you are right about how it is bad and it gets better at the end and a little scare.//

shale 1/20/010 I finished Time for Andrew with Brian and Brandon. It was an ok book. Like i said on my last comment about the grade one through ten i would keep it at seven. Some of the chapters were good and 19,20,and 21 weren't that good too me. I agree with Brian that the best is probably eight. The last words of the book are very cool it makes the book a little more interesting to me. You have to read the book to find the words at the end of the story. Since I am done with time for andrew i am reading the Titans Curse also I could not find a book with Brian and Brandon ether. It is the third book in the Percy Jackson series. I will tell you guys the difference between the Percy Jackson series and Time for Andrew and the same things about them. The same thing about them is that they are both about some sort of mystery and a little scary too. The difference is that the generes are kind of different Percy Jackson series is historical fiction and Time for Andrew is more of a nonfiction story and alittle mystery. I liked The percy Jackson series better than Time for Andrew. My favorite part in the Percy Jackson series is in the first book when percy has to find the master bolt and on his way back he sees a talking zebra and later a poodle is a part of the story that helps story. I think that ares was the meanest god in book one. The nicest kind of human was grover.The nicest human was Percys mom even you now she got suverrely injured in the way beggining of the Lightning Thief book one. So far from what i have read the best book to me is the Lightning Thief.

//Brian 1/14/10// Shale, I think that the worst chapter is either chapter 5 or 6. My favorite chapter is chapter 8. I hope you like the book!

//Brandon 1/13/10 shale I would disigre I would give it a 5 or 5 and a half. Because some chapters are bad.

shale 1/13/010 I'm reading Time For Andrew with Brian and Brandon in a reading group. It is a great book it starts off by Andrews parents are going to southern france. He stays at his aunts house and it was a very stormy night. One time when the storm was happening the hole in the bottom of the house. The thing down there is a bag of marbles they are andrews marbles on the bag. So he brings the bag up to the attic to go to bed. In bed kabam. You have to read the book to find out the rest.If i had to rate this book on what i read so far i would give it a six because i can not finish grading it.

JackM 1/10/09 I feel really bad for him because his best friend hates him and he has to get braces its horrid.

Abhi 1/10/10 Shale I feel bad for Jackson. Just because you have braces does not mean you are not c//ool. //How did the nerds get powers?//

tyler 1/7/10 How did all of the nerds get the powers does ever one have powers.

shale1/7/010 I finished a book called Nerds. It is a great book. It is about a boy named jackson who is very popular and everyone including the teachers love him. One day he has to go to the doctor and the doctor said that he had to get braces. So the next day he go's to school noone likes him not even his best friend so he see's theese nerds. he joins his team and it is so crazy theese crazy weird nerds with power. They trie to train him but he never is good enough to be a really good. Some of the nerds have crazy powers. Some can control stuff with there mind and sum have super power and strength and some also are just really smart and know alot about the technicle stuff. If I had to rank this book in a rank one to ten i would give it a seven because it has a lot of action and not alot of humor but like humor thats why i gave it a lower score

SarahL 1-7-10 I am reading the 1st Lighting Theif and I think it is a great book! Is the 2nd book any diffrent that the 1st one?

Shale 12/16/09 I am about to finish the Sea of Monsters in the Percy Jackson series. It is a awesome book and it explains the details very well. If I had to give this book to someone I would give it to Brian because he is my friend and I know he likes mystery and a little bit of adventure. I think he would like this book because it has great adventures that you would see Percy go on. Brian I think you will like Percy because he is brave and caring like you are to me as a friend. In my opinion I think that The Lightning Thief is better than this book because it is more of a mystery and action in it than the Sea of monsters. Percy has made many friends too like annabeth. The begining starts of when theese people start playing dodgeball in gym and the freaks are agianst Percy and they turn into monsters. Percy has a giant friend named Tyson he help Percy escape the chaotic dodgeball game. //

Jack M: If I could recommend //// the Lightning Thief in the Percy Jackson series I would recommend it to my friend Andrew Alexanders brother he loves a good action tail. // // 12/14/09 Meredith That book sounds great and other people told me about this and I never had the chance to read it. I love mystery book too. You should try Missing Since Monday it is a kind of mystery book. Is that book the first one in the series or no??I should try it so many people told me about so I will read it!! Danielle 12/14/09: I have heard from a lot of people that the Lighting Thief was a good book but I never have read the back cover though. Is it a good book? I want to know to see if it would be a good book for me to read. It looks like a good book do they have any more copies at the school library if you don't know I will check. Did Percy steal Master Bolt? Don't tell any more that is really important to the story because i think that is what I am going to read next.

Josh 12-14-09 I have heard about this book but I never got the chance to read it. How would the steal a Bolt????????????????? Possible I should read it to find out for myself.

Joey 12.11.09 Shale, you said you liked the book many people loved the book do you like it or love it?? //

Shale 12/8/09 I finished the Lightning Thief in the Percy Jackson series. I can't tell you about the other book that I'm reading because I have not gotten far enough to tell you about the book. So the conflict of this book is that someone stole the master bolt and the people are blaming it on Percy. So he has to go find out who stole it so he can show proof that he did not steal the master bolt. Percy has to go through a lot to find the master bolt including almost dieing and having great people to Percy die too. Percy also made lots of friends through out his dangerous journey to find out who really stole the master bolt. I like this book because like is said on my last comment it is a mystery by the way I like mystery books. If you notice who stole the master bolt in the book it might be a little confusing at first but then you will understand. I recommend this book to people who like a good old mystery like I do. //

12/7/09 JackM I think that I will read this book because of its intresting conflict. the whole half god idea sounds really cool.

SarahL 12/3/09 // I heard that a lot of people are reading the lighting theif and everybody that read it said that it was a AMAZING book and, when i finish I will probly read the series! I really like mysterie books because you never want to put the book down because you never no what will happen next!

//Brian 12/3/09 Hi, Shale, the Lightning Thief was probobly going to be my next book to read! Thanks for the reccomendation Shale! Also, your genre is the same genre as my book!

Jared 12-3-09 The 39 Clues books are also mystery and is another great series as you said. I hear there is going to be or all ready is a movie about the lightning thief that sounds interesting. I might try reading the series when I finis the 39 Clues.//

shale 12/2/09 I just finished the Lightning Thief it is an amazing book. The genre of this book to me is a mystery because someone stole the master bolt and everyone is blaming it on someone and it wasn't them so the person who got blamed had to find out who stole it. I have read a couple of books like this and they all kind of have the same idea. Most of the books that I read that are a mystery usually have to do with something stolen and someone has to go out serching and find clues to find out who did it. The genre of this book makes me fell like I should never stop reading and usually when I sometimes read 20 min it is so good so I read 40 or 60 min. If you like books were you have to find out a mystery I recommend this book to you. By the way I heard that jared is reading 39 Clues and that is a mystery book to and it is also a great series like the Lightning Thief to me.

//Abhi 12/2/09 Shale I like what you said about stepping in for other people. I will folow that from now on.

Noah 11/29/09 By what Ms. Wiess said to our class about "On my Honor" it sounded really good. I also heard that it was short, but what I haerd from your cmment it seems long!// // Brian 11/20: Great comment Shale! When Ms. Weiss recommended this book to our class, it also sounded good! I think I might read it myself! //

// JackM 11-20-09 I think that Joel felt bad because it was his fault and he thought covered it up for a little while I will read this book soon thanks for telling me about it shale //

Joey 11/20 //Shale this book sounds really good. Are there any more scary parts or just that one.//

Brandon 11/20/09 Shale I think that book sounds really good I will try and get that book because you siad that book was a little scary so I think that book could be good.

Shale 5s 11/18/09 I finished a book called On My Honor. It is a great book and it can be kind of scary in some parts. The book is about 2 kids named Joel and Tony. One day Tony and Joel are by a lake and they want to get to the other side quicker so Tony jumps in. Joel is watching and Tony never comes back out. Joel was very mad that he did not stop Tony before he jumped in the lake. That reminds me, in my hero essay I wrote about my mom and one lesson she taught me was to step up. I think Joel should of stopped Tony before he went for a swim. That's one reason why I choose my mom for my hero essay. I think this book would be good for people who like a mystery and little scary parts in the book. By the way Jared, I liked how you explained the plot events very well in your comment. Also this book is a battle book so if your planning on signing up for battle of the books mabye you should read this book. If you like my comments on this book mabye you might want to check out my next comment on another great book called The Lightning Thief.That's all I have to say for now bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam- Sounds nice thanks for letting me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
