Jack+M

**//Noah 6/6/10 I tried the first Charlie Bone book and I didn't like it. What is the second one about?

Emily 6-6-10 I think that book sounds good! I think I'll try reading it one day!!!

Jack M 5-31-10 A book That I would recommend for the summer would be Charlie Bone and The time twister. The author of the book is Jenny Nimmo. It would be a summer winner because its long. It has a good plot and it makes scence. The only problem with the book is that If you have not read the first book it would not make sence.

Brian 5/28/10 I would also choose Willy Wonka becuause he owns his own factory with a lot of candy. It was a very interesting book. It was one of my favorite books! Have a great summer!//**

**//Brandon 5.27.10 Jack I havnt read the book but I have seen the movie. Your right he would be a cool friend to have his factory is awsome.

Mr. Shaw 5.18.10 Jack, I think choosing Willy Wonka as a friend is great, but I would like to hear more about why he would make a good friend!

5S-JackM 5-17-10 I am still reading charlie and the chocolate factory And I would like to be friends with willy wonka. For one hes got a cool house all the candy you could eat and golden egg laying geese.

Tyler 5/16/10 it did not really say any thing about how many people had died.//**

**//Josh 5-16-10 Jack, I read that book recently I would be friends with Charlie how about you. I love that book and it is really good in the movies.

Brian 4/15/10//** //**I have also read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was a great book. I think they have also made it into a movie. Have fun reading! **//

**Emily 5-9-10 I also read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory once. But I never read Harry Potter but I have heard of it and I have all the books.

JackM 5-5-10 Wright now I am reading charlie and the chocolate factory. I would compare this book to a book named harry potter and the deathly hollows. These two books are both fantasy. Harry potter goes to school during the book and charlie doesnt during the book. Harry potter is rich and charlie is poor. They both have mentors dumbldor and willy wonka.

Noah 5/2/10 Jack, you said the dragon was gold. Is he worth anything to anyone? Where did he come from? Please mail me back.

Josh 5-1-10 Jack that book sounds good, I should try it.

Jack M 4-28-10**
 * I am reading gold dragon codex its about a boy who is captured by vikings and thrown in they ocean. A gold dragon picks him up and brings him to a cave. The boys family has left him for dead so he needs to get to the island the dragon whall flying back is shot in the wing and they are stuck right in the center of the ocean. The plot is how they try to get to shore and theyre ways they fight monsters. I would recommend this book suprisingly to someone who likes survival storys.**

ar. I thought this book was really sad, do you? I also would like you to try to find the lie in my comment!!!**
 * Jeremy 2/25/10**
 * I think that the lie is about how Lyra doesn't meet a Polar Be

//Jack M 4-25-10 I am reading the golden compass this wekk and I invite preveous readers of this book to find the lie here you go. Lyras friend is killed by lord asrieal. liera makes friends with a witch. Lyra doesnt ever meet a giant polar bear.

Jack M 4/13/10 Mr.Shaw I might think about reading it because I recently started reading pirates gold it was a great story about pirates in the carribian sea some of the charectors have uneage personalitys and lives a cook who was captured and put to arrrest is saved by pirates and forced to be the head chef its not a great ending ( mainly because there killed bt a giant squid ) but some books are forgotten so let us remember pirates gold.

Mr. Shaw 4/12/10 Just wondering, Jack...did you finish Journey to the Center of the Earth? I see that you are reading another "old" book. Another old one that you might enjoy is "Kidnapped" by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's a pirate adventure.//

Jack M 4-8-10 right know I am reading the merry adventures of robinhood. at the beginning of the book robin is in sherwood forest with a pack of soldiers eventually he gets drunk and kills and kills one of the kings deer. A soldier ( whos not drunk attacks robin ) robin kills the man comes to his sences and runs in the forest to live in hiding.

Noah 4-11-10 late I saw the movie and find the two very different. I do not reconize any of the events or characters you mentioned in your comment.

Jack M 2-24-10 At this time I am reading a compelling book its name is The jeorney to the center to the earth. NOTE this book is the old version I found it at my grandmothers house. I would recommend this to a serius or new reader because it may get you into reading old books. I am at the part where the charectors Charols Mr. Fillis Brown and Mrs. lemmontoppin found inside the earth a civilization of lizards. These lizards are not very welcoming and bring them into there cave. I will continue this book and if you like old books give this a try. //

Sarah W I Am also surprised that kids our age fought in the war. I think that that it is very wrong that kids that are 10 or 11 fought in the war because it is very dangerous and I think that kids should at least have time to be a kid before they die from a gun shot or something! I think that the soldiers on the other side shot the kids first just to get rid of the easier people. It would stink to be in the wrong town and not know where ypu are. I feel very bad for Toliver! She is a very lucky girl if she gets to deliver bread to a general and also our former president! I fell bad for her that she had to run so much! Battle plans are very secret and I hope that they are good so that the right team will win and people will be free!

Jack M 3-21-10 One of the things that really surprised me is that in my book ( Toliver's secret ) is that kids our age went out to war. One of my guess's is that most of them where shot the moment they got on the battlefield. In my book Tolivers secret she's ( Toliver ) is stuck in the wrong town when shes suposed to be in elizabeth town. Shes going there to deliver bread to general george washington. Inside the bread is battle plans to cross the deloware. Because shes stuck she has to run there 10 miles lienghth.

Jack M 3/5/10 first I will tell you about the book I am reading at the time right now then get into depth with the book 10000 years lost in the united states of america. The most intresting charector in the book write now is Tikinit a indian girl who is 3 but manages to help her tribe hunt ( in the book she kills a rattlesnake ). Anouther reason is that as the story progresses her and the main charector karolin grows in experience ( the other charector a boy named hutnha is all ready good enough at everything. Now I am going to go into depth with the book karolin finds a spear thats all most like a areo head ( this is in 2003 ) a brings it to a scientist Dr. Dunham. The doctor asks if she can take her to the place she found it. Her mom doesnt like the idea so in rage karolin runs in the forist andjumps over a log and before you know it shes 10000 years lost. she is taken in by an indian tribe and exedra. I hope to finish this book and I hope youll try it to.

Jack M 2/25/010 first of all I will talk about the setting of the new book I am reading bronze dragon codex. It takes place 10000000 years ago in a place ( island ) where humans a dragons live in peace. At the start of the book its all happy but one spoiled queen takes a law saying  no dragons shall stay on the island  of course the dragon simile comes into the story because her brouthers and sisters eggs where taken before they where born. when they meet sime picks her up and holds her over a cliff and says  where did you get that necklace  ( there necklaces where extremely alike ) and the queen says the same so she ( aka the queen ) messes with the necklaces and it turns out they where to halfs of the same one and when there connected the to peopole that own a side share the same pain ( witch is a problem because dragons dont feel pain ). I dont want to give to much away so ill stop now.

Jack M 2/17/010 first of all I will answer Jack Zs question then get into even deeper depth with The Fire Within's sequal Ice fire and have some connections and maybe talk about percy jackson for a minuet. The reason hes not living with his parents is because hes going to collage in the town ( streepsville california ) and it just so happens they put a room for rent in the house he's living in ( dont ask me why please ). I have been reading the sequal ice fire some more and they have some more new plots. A new squirrel Gruffen comes in the story and is attacked by there new cat bonners. Like the 1st book peter writes more books about squirrels as the story goes on connecting to the events that wich accure during the story. I would considar reading this series if you like dragons if not squrrels or even adventure and action. Now I will connect this book to one of my personal experiences my cat Ieko ( wierd name sorry you can ask me to pronounce it ) attacked a squirrel like bonners did to Gruffen exept my dad sprayed my cat with a hose ( in the story they did not ). percy jackson the movie was different from the book but not completely ( finding zues's bolt ) but they did take out some of the parts ( witch annoyed me ). Movies are all ways taken apart so they can fit it in 2 hours. there is nothing that compares to a good book.

Tyler If i was joan rate now i would be very very scared that i might get in trouble and that i have to tell every one about wat happend. also did the parents now that they were at the river.//

//2-14-10 Jack Z Wow! This book sounds like it has a lot of action. Why isn't he living with his parents? Also why did he rent a room at someone else's house? This book sounds really good.

JackM 2/11/010 Also I was reading On my honer I finished it but it makes such a good cause and effect so here it is. Cause Tony and joan decide to go in the river ( dont try this ) and tony drowns and joan has to tell everyone tony drowned.

JackM 2/11/010 As to you. right now I am reading the fire within its a good book but hard to understand. Its about a 21 year old boy living in a house with peopole that are not even his parents ( because he rented a room in that house ). The boys name is Peter Penntlin dont ask me about his name please. Because he lives woth those peopole I mentioned before Liz and Gwn ( anouther name not to ask me about ). They build small clay dragons that come to life so the book focuses around Peters dragon Gwenavier and the squirrels that Gwn likes so much ( because she is 6 and a half ). A squirrel conker makes Peter decide to right a book about him and at the end of the book ( SPOILER ALERT ) it dies.

Brian 2/11/10 Hi Jack, I have heard that Sign of the Beaver is a very good book. I think Sign of the Beaver also got a Newbery // // Honer Award. I hope you continue to like it! Also, ** Happy Valentines Day! **//

//Mr. Shaw 2/7/10 Jack, can you think of an example of cause and effect in Sign of the Beaver? Also, please pay attention to spelling and punctuation in your entries. It will make what you're trying to say more understandable to others.//

2/5/10 Yes because his family did come and even though they do come the indians could have givin him some more oppertunities in his life it sort of depends on your oppinion family or oppertunities. now back to sign of the beaver in mrs. hansens class we talked about crops ( in AP ) and in the book his family has a garden but its winter so you cant grow anything so he hunts for meat and you know epicly fails.

//Noah 1/30/10 Now that we have finished "The Sign of the Beaver", do you think Matt made the right choice to leave Attean and the Indians? Suppose he didn't yet know his family would return.//

Jack M 1/29/010 Yes how could i say no its a hugely compelling story with a great ending and im not gonna tell you what it is. The book is about a boy who is left in a log cabin whall his father goes to pick up the rest of the family. whall he is in the woods he comfronts some native americans. whall the book goes on he is reading shaksphere. I really hope that you will READ it.

//Noah 1/24/10 Do you like "The Sign of the Beaver" so far? What confuses me is why Ben would take the rifle in the first place? I think maybe it was to hunt. What are your thoughts about that?//

1/21/010 No No And No because he should have known alot better to try something like that and look what was the result. I dont think they will have anouther one.

//Noah 1/20/10 Jack in the book we are reading, do you think it was smart for Jim and Ruth Rose to stay overnight at Jim's house?//

Jack M 1/15/010 I have been reading boy in the burning house in the book the main charectors dad died in a fire and ( I think) Came back from the dead I hope you will read this book if you really like ghost storys !

Jack M 1/15/010 I agree with you Noah and I dont Joel should have asked him why he never went swimming in the first place and he is older than him (tony) so he should have been more responsible.

//Noah 1/14/10 Jack, do you think Joel was thinking about what his dad made him swear to when Tony went into the river? I certainly DON'T. I also think it was unwise of Tony not to tell Joel that he could't swim.//

1/13/010 HI its Jack Agian and I have anouther comment on On My Honer when Tonys parents learn of his death they do not get angry or sad at all tords Joel. that shows how bad parents they are.

1/8/09 Hi its Jack and I just finished On my honer with my partner Noah I find that the story is very compelling. Tonys death and trying to cover it up makes it very exiting .And very sad.. Im glad im not Tony.

//tyler 1/7/10 Jack ihave read some of the bone books and i hope you do to.

Andy 12/17/09 Jack I read the second Bone book It was good and I was planning to read the first but i think I will later. Hope you like the rest if you read them.

Brandon 12/17/09 Jack I read that book in first grade and it was a really good book and I'm glad that you liked to. Are you gonna read the whole collection because there really good?!

12/16/09 5S-JackM If I could give one book to someone I would give a book called Bone 1 (the first). It is exciting and something worth talking about. I finished the book so I am not going to be a spoiler. And I have 1 person I would give it two.... my brother Tom Motzko he is into amulat so I think he would like bone. You should give bone a try.

tyler I have never read harry poter but i might read it cause it sonds good and ever butty seems to like it.

peter 12/10/09: your right jack it is a minor conflicted but there is a conflicted that is much much larger then that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy 12/10/09 Jack do you like this book and why? What is your favorite part about it. This book sounds incredible maybe I should read it!

12/7/09 JackM The conflict in the story is that hogwarts has been taken over and harry has to defeat voldemort to save it. I would say that ron is mixed up in the conflict because he leaves harry and herminoy in the woods in angre. That might be a minor conflict.

12/4/09 Mr. Shaw I think you're a little mixed up about fiction and nonfiction. The Harry Potter series is definitely fiction! All the magic and strange creatures exist only in our imaginations, so it would be considered a fantasy. Nonfiction means "not fiction" or real, true events.

12-2-09 Josh it sounds like a really good book. I was at the libray and I was thinking about reading that book u might have convised me. //

11/30/09 I think the harry potter books are a fictional series because half of the book involves magic goblins and dragons. but the real world in the book even still has magic this books world is deffinitly fictional. And I have read all of them in the series you should try them.

//Brandon 11/29/09 Jack in third grade I read those book and I did not read that one maybe I will read it when I get a chance to.//

//Mr. Shaw 11/21/09 Have you already read the other books in this series, Jack?//

11/20/09: I have been reading Harry Potter and the DEATHLY HALLOWS. Most of the story happens outside of hoggwarts school even though you find out when harry goes back there and fights a battle Dementors have taken over and the children are starving and have to practice the killing curse on people and nevil has pretty much grown up (and became a BIG BULLY)
