Josh

Andy 5/31/10 I agree Josh that was a good book and it would be good for summer because it was so hot there and it is hot in the summer.

Josh 5-25-10 Iread holes this year and it was so good. Holes is basicly about a kid who gets framed and goes to camp green lake. It shows that you can make friends where ever you are but that is just my opionion. Have some good summer reading.

Noah 5/16/10 Is the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie similar to the book?

//Mr. Shaw 5.13.10 Hey Josh, is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a book that you have read recently? I don't see it mentioned anywhere on your wiki page. Can you think of a different character in one of the books you've read recently?//

Josh 5-13-10 If I could "Lean on" a charecter it would be Charlie from Charlie and the Choclate Factory. One reason is he is funny, he said a lot of jokes and has a really cool family. Another reason is he owens a choclate factory so it would be really fun to play there.

//Jocelyn 5./ 12./ 10. I am a bit confused because what is the Golly Whopper Games about?? I didn't know that in that book a kid wins something?????

Mr. Shaw 5.7.10 Please explain your comparisons a little more, Josh. In what way are they both special events? What do you mean by "a kid both won?" And finally, what makes each book "amazing?"//

Josh 5-7-10 I am comparing The Golly Whopper Games and Charlie and the Choclate Factory. One comparosine is that they are both special events. Another is a kid both won. The last comparoson is they are both amazing books.

//Jocelyn 5-4-10 Well SO MANY people read that book and reccomed it too. I may read it. Though what is it about?? is it a mystery, who is the author, why did you give it four stars???????????????? And........ WHO IS GIL, the main character, the dad the friend the enemy??????????????????????

Sarah W Josh, I think that I would like the book also! Other people have discribed it to me and I think that I am going to read it when I am finished reading my book because I only have about 100 pages left in my book!

Izzy 5.2.10 The book sounds really exciting. Since you're not going to tell us how he did then I will guess. I think that he lost,but then he lost to someone who cheated so in the end he won the game//!

//Jeremy 5-1-10 Josh, I would recommend the Alex Rider series to you because every part of the book is so exciting! What kind of challenges happen to the boy/girl in the Golly Whopper Game! Would I like that book?

Josh 5-1-10 Sarrah I think you would like the book. I finished the Golly Whopper gamesz it was so good. I waant to tell you how he does in the games but if I do it would ruin the ending for everyone else.

Toby 5/1/10 Its seems like a good book is it ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Sarah W 4/25/10 It seems like a lot of people are reading The Golly Whopper Games right now. What game does he win a couple of rounds in? The headquarters of what? Do you think that I would like the book??//

Izzy 4.18.10 What kind of questions do the kids have to answer or do on the game show? When Mrs.Weiss told us about It I didn't know if I should have checked out. Overall it sounds like a good book. Funny too.

Jared 4-18-10 I am reading the same book as you. Didn't the book sound really good right when Mrs. Weiss reccommended it. I hope other people can enjoy this book as much as we are!

JOSH 4-15-10 I am reading The Golly Whopper Games It is so good. I would give this book 4 stars. One reason is because so far in the book he passed a coulple of rounds in the games and it is so cool how he wins. Another reason s because his dad useto work at the headquarters but they thought he did something that he did not do but Gil the kid knows a lot of important people. The last reason is because it is funny. This book is a really good book I would reccomend it.

Noah 4-12-10 late I love mystery books. What was the crime?

//Mr. Shaw 4/12/10 I'd like to hear more about this book. Who is the author? Tell more about the plot!//

//Jack Z. 4-1-10 That book sounds pretty good. What did the person get accused for? That sound like a book I would definitely read.//

Josh 4-7-10 I am reading Invisible Lines. It is a pretty good book and I would reccomend it. I liked it because it is kindove a mystery book. I dont like it because someone is being accused of somthing they did not do.

//Toby I read that book. It was great

Jack Z. 2-26-10// //I would agree. I think Mr. Shaw would love this book! I think it would be a good read aloud book to read to the class. THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!//

3-23-10 I am still reading " My Brother Sam Is Dead." I love the book it is sooooooooo good. This weeks assinment was to reccomend a book to someone so I would gift my book to Mr.Shaw. The reason I would gift it to him is because I think he likes thoose kinds of books, because he knows a lot of things about the Revolutionery War. He also talks a lot about the War so he would probly like. Not only Mr. Shaw would like it though every one would

//Joey 3/21/10 Josh, I agree I always agree with my Dad but for a son to be a patriot and the father to be a loyalist would be strange. I wonder what the brother is.//

3/21/10 Does the Dad and Son get along okay? I think that If I was a loyalist son I would be one too. I would want to have the courage like the son too stand up for his own say

//3-21-10 I have been reading "My Brother Sam Is Dead." It is a great book. I was suprised that the father Life is a Loyalist And the son Sam is a Partiot. I was suprised about that because usually you and your father agree with each other. I would not like to live during the Revolutionery war. One reason is because their are always soldiers. That would be annoying because there could be a war in your backyard. Another reason is because someone in your family could go off to war and die... That would be really sad because you could never talk to them again. The last reason is because if you die it would probebly be slow and painful.

Izzy 3.21.10. Josh,I agree I like the book too. How would you feel if someone in your family went to war against the side you were fighting for? 3-10-10-late I have been reading My Brother Sam Is Dead. It is a very good book. I am reading it for my novel studies and I like it alot. It takes place at Redding. It is about a family, and the dad Life is a Loyalist to the King, but Sam one of the kids is a Partoit. The family has a gun called the Brown Bees and Sam is going off to war to fight the lobster backes and he steals the family gun. The dad was really mad because he did not have ant other gun so how would he hunt. I think that Sam was being a little selfish because he stole the gun so the dad could not get livstock by hunting or other fun stuf f with te gun. On the other hand Sam was right because he was doing what was right for his country and his dad was sellfish for not being able to toughne up and take the pain. But either way it is a great book.

Meredith 3/3/10 Josh never judge a book before you read a lot of it. I have read two books that start out bad but I thought they were very good at the end. What is the book about? Where does it take place?//

3-1-10 I have finished The Whipping Boy and have moved on to Camper Extrordanier. I dont like the book that much and I dont know why it is funny has a little mystery I am not going to tell you what the mystery is you will have to read the book to find that out. It is probly because I got confused but still if anyone has rea it please help me.

Bella 2/23/10 In GTE I refranced back to that book about all the whippings in slavery and the whippings in the whipping boy. I did not like the book either but I stuck to and now look at what its done for me! I also did not really get it so sorry that I can not be of any help!

//Mr. Shaw 2/7/10 Well, Josh, since nobody else wants to talk about The Whipping Boy, I will. I think it's a terrific book. It's lots of fun, with the prince and the whipping boy trading places and getting mixed up with the villains. It's been many years since I read it, but I remember it as a funny and exciting story. The author, Paul Fleischman, also wrote another one of my favorites, called Half-a-Moon Inn. I'm not sure why you didn't like The Whipping Boy, but you have a right to your own opinion. Maybe you could explain a little more about why you didn't like it.//

2-7-10 I am still reading the Whipping Boy. Unfortuantly I did not like the book. I did not learn anything. I was hoping sombody who read the book would have commented on this but no one did. I did not find anything out at the end. I would not reccomend the book to anyone.

1-31-10 I am reading the Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman. I dont really like it. I dont get it because I am getting really confused. I have gotten to the part with the prince. I have given it a couple trys but I just dont get it. I would not reccomend it. Still if anyone has read it please help me. PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

//Andy 1/24/10 I loved Holes too and I agree with Joey Zero is by far my favorite supporting charactor because of all the traits he has espeacialy brave. I think it was funny about the ending comercial about sploosh.

Joey Josh, I LOVED Holes. I have one question who was your favorite character and Stanley doesn't count. i think mine was Zero, I liked how he was nice, brave, loyal, and a bit shy.// 

1-23-10 Hi its me again and I finished Holes but I am so mad because it is such a good book and I don't want it to end but it did. Zero got really mad at everyone so he got a shovel and hit Mr. Pendenski who is his counsler than ha ran away. Stanley got worried so during the time that ha should be getting water he got in the truck and tried to drive away but he drove into a hole so he got out of the truck and ran away too. He found Zero and they found a boat that was foal of sploosh witch is paeches from over 100 years ago. I love holes and I think you should read it.

//Jack Motzko 1/21/010 I read that book beginning to the end it haa great ending Josh but I dont want to giveaway to much but let me just say its a great book//

Joey 1/1810 //Hey, isn’t Holes great. It is kind of weird, at the beginning Mr. Pendanski seemed so nice, but when he was making fun of Zero that was just MEAN. So how do you think about Mr. Pendanski? // // Andy 1/18/10 Josh I think Stanley got his name because he is so big and strong like a caveman. Also the reason he chose camp over jail is because he always wanted to go to camp and his family didn't have enough money for him ever to go so he made up his own camp camp fun and games at his home. Then he got this opportunity and took it because he never went to camp. //

1-17-10 I am still reading Holes. I have gotten farther and my prodiction was right. Joey I agree with you, when you wonder why Stanley got his nickname. I wonder what it is that Stanley found in the dirt that had the enishals KB? I dont know witch I would rather to go to jail o to go to camp green lake. I think I would rather go to camp green lake because you would be around people and you could have fun digging like Zero. Speeking of Zero I think that is a good deal Stanley teaching Zero how to read i exchange for Zero digging part of Stanley's hole. I love hole........... //

Joey 1/11/10 Josh, I love Holes, what about you? Do you think the nickname Caveman is fitting for Stanley? I also wonder that if I was in Camp Greenlake, what my nickname would be.

1/10/10 Andy Josh Stanley was inocent he was just walking by when the shoes fell i think it is unfair that he is being charged for this. H e also acts like he doesn't care he is not trying to say back it wasn't his fault he is just taking the hits. //

1-7-10 I started Holes by Louis Sacher it is a great book. I dont know forshure but I think Stanly is inacent. (Stanly is the main charactar) Holes is a great book. //

Jeremy 1/6/10 I think he got kidnapped or maybe he commited suicide its so confusing. I think its sorta like a clue from 39 Clues which i am reading. Josh would you recommend this book?

Jared 12.15.09 I know when Mrs. Weiss introduced this book to the class everyone was rushing to put it on hold. I agree with you and Noah, maybe he did get kidnapped. Since I am reading 39 Clues, which is also a mystery I definately would want to read this book. //

12-14 I would "gift" the London Eye Mystery to Izzy and Noah because when they wrote there comment it souned like they enjoye the book so I would "gift" the London Eye Mystery to Izzy and Noah. I would "gift" Sideways Arithmatics From Wayside School to Andy, because when I first got the book he connected to the book and he loves to find the answers to the ??????? (questions.) For ex. Egg+ egg= 144. So I would "gift" this book to Andy.

12-10 I am still reading The London Eye Mystery I love it. I think the problem is that Salim got on the London Eye but never came off. My prdiction is the same as Noah's that he got kiddnapped, or possibly he ran away without Ted spotting him out in the crwod, but I still find it really weird how you can go on the london Eye witch is very well protected and never come off, but that also makes me think that could of happened to anyone at anytime at anyplace so when you look at it that way it makes you fell very weird inside. I can not wait to se what happens next and what you guys write back. //

mikenzie 12-9-09 Everone says that this book is so goood so i might have to try it one day.I think I know what happen to him but i wont tell.

SarahL, Dec 9,2009, I read that book and I don't really liked it that much because I don't like reading mystery books that much.

brandon 12.08.09 I read that book I thought it was not really that good.

Noah Josh, I've read a lot of mysteries, and the one thing that is different about this one is at the beginning, there is really no proof of a crime. I think someone might have kidnapped him.

Izzy 12.6.09 The London Eye Mystery sounds like a intresting book. I wonder what happend to Salim because he never gets off the london eye. Maybe I will read the book myself sometime so, I can find out why he never gets off the london eye. //

12-5-09 Jack Z I have been reading a lot of mysteries lately, so I think I might try that one. It sounds pretty good.

12-2-09 I have stated a new book you might of ben reading it your self it is called __The London Eye Mystery By: Siobhan Dowd__ I am not that far but so far it is a outstanding book. I wold think that the genra would be a mystery??????????????? I wold say that because it is about a kid named Salim how got a free ticket to the london eye and he went on, but that is not the mystery part he went on but never came out so they checked the next and the next and the next capsule but he was not in any I dont now about you but I can not wait to read some more.

//mikenzie 12/1/09 I read that book i realy liked it. I liked the one chapter when the boy only could read when he was up sidedown. I would go on to the other book i did its good to

Andy 12/2/09, Josh I never really read this book but back in forth grade in GTE we tried to figured these problems out it was hard one I remember is elf +elf =fool hope you enjoy it.//

M//r. Shaw 11/21/09: I have always enjoyed the Sideways Stories series, Josh. It's one of my all-time favorites. You should try some of Louis Sachar's other books, too, like Holes//.

11/20/09: I have been reading Sideways Arithmatics From Wayside School. It is a very good book. I like it because it has funny and weird math problems I finshed it but I would reccomend the book to every one. The person I am going to reflect on is going to be the teacher I think the teacher Mrs.Jewls was very confused at the begining because she did not think there was another of doing math other than in word
