5-12-10- One of the books I am reading is called. " Twice Upon a Time- Repunzle, the one with all the hair." This book is also about Prince Ben and it's his story and hers. It's actully a funny book. Repunzle is Kidnaped by a witch, and as soon as she gets to the tower, throws a major tantrum. This entry is more about the author though, this book was published in 2006. There is also another book like this called, " Sleeping Beauty, the one who took the really long nap." I'm not very sure HOW she became an author or why. I did find an interesting fact though, and little while ago, in the 4th of July parade, she jumped it front of a little girl in pigtails to grab a lolipop. It was in the middle of the parade but she still went for it. I think it's kinda funny.

5-7-10- WOW! This book is definitly a book to read! Why you ask? Well because this book is the top selling book, and I guess it's good if it is number one? It's funny, mind puzzling and FULL of adevture. I really think you should read it, Samual Blink.. And the Forbbiden Forest!

4-19-10- For this weeks entry, I am going to Compare and Contrast. The two people I am going to be comparing and contrasting are Sam, from the book I am reading, and Percy Jackson, from the Lightning Thief. First I am going to contrast. Sam isn't very adventerous, and Percy is very adventerous. Percy is daring and Sam hesitates. Sam is just a boy, but Percy is a god. Now, I will compare... They are both boys, both of them have brown hair, and both of them are sort of confused about what's going on around them. Both of them have entered some world other than theirs, and both of them have been in books I have read.

4-7-10-Yes Ben thats right, two house points for you! Ok, the book I am reading IS Samuel Blink and the Runaway Troll. It is actully a really interesting book. I am about half way through so I will tell you what I know so far. In the first couple of chapters, Sam is getting used to going to a new school. Sam and his sister Martha, and his Aunt and Uncle live across from a forest, the Forbidden Forest. Well, used to be forbidden, now it is fine to go in. But ten years ago, Sam's Uncle Henrick went into the " Forbidden Forest" and never came back out. Until now, but thats a different story. Like I said before, Sam and his sister are going to a new school. At their school is a girl named Cornilia and she is a really big spoiled brat. Her dad wanted to know about what happened to Sam's uncle because he came back all of the sudden and the forest is, or was a really dangerous place. So Cornilia pretends to be friends with Martha, Sam's sister, to find out about what happened to Uncle Henrick. Sam and his family don't want anyone knowing what happened inside the forest so that nothing happens to the forest, like it being cut down. Also, they're creatures in the forest, and one kind is a troll. One of the trolls that is living in the forest is very very unhappy because his mom is really mean, and unfair. She yells at him for no reason, punishes him for speaking up or saying the wrong thing, and the troll doesn't like it. Now the troll has already met sam in the last book, and to the troll, Sam is PERFECT and says and does everything right. So the troll decides to go sneak out of the forest and go live with Sam, and thats a really big problem because I guess trolls are supposed to be big and smelly. Much bigger then people.... So now Sam has to hide the troll and figure a way out of anyone finding him (or smelling him) and get him back into the forest. Thats as far as I have gotten!!!

Ben-Is it Samuel Blink and the Runaway Troll by Matt Haig? 3-25-10- Here are some clues to what book I am reading. Also, its even more tricky because the title, and the auther's name will be scrambled. TITLE: ELMUSA KINLB NAD EHT WYAUNR RLOLT AUTHER: TATM AIGH Now, here are my three clues.... 1. Its about a boy names Sam 2. He is very suspicious about what is under his bed 3. What he finds under his bed is a troll. (these are not very great clues because I havent really read much of the book yet)

3-25-10- Yes maya that is correct two house points for you!

3/23/10 Maya- are you reading The Forbidden Forest?

Here are a few clues to what book I am reading- 1. The main charecters name is Sam 2. He gets lost in a forset that is really really deadly 3. His sister goes in first and thats how he went in 4. In the book the forest is refured to The Forbidden Forest

3-9-10-sixth comment- Hey Kenzie! Yes, I agree that they did have to be nice to Halagen Boy for having the bad idea but I agree with them, it wasnt so smart to put it in plain sight. I think that their teacher was also right about the cards being valuable, because the manager of the Industrieo Industries did say there was only a few in existance. I think it was odd that one day all the kids walked into school and all of them had the Proffecor Brain-Drain cards even though there was only supposed to be three. I think what happened was someone got mad and made coppies of the origanal cards and kept the origanal ones. What do you think? I think it was funny when Halagen Boy, Plasma Girl, and O-Boy walked into school and found Melon head with a Proffecor Brain-Drain card and Halagen Boy just kept yelling and accusing Melon Head about stealing their card. Then Stench walked off the bus and told everyone he still had the card. What do you think? Stay posted!

3-1-10-fifth comment- Hey Kenzie! Yes, understand what you were saying about Hoolagen Boy not being a very bright kid. I think that is kind of funny. I love the part when Plasma Girl, Stench,and O-Boy are going to Industreo Industries and they have to use Stench's power to get in because they lady at the front desk wont let them in unless people have an appointment. I also love the part where all the kids are with the president of the super hero cards and and all of the other toys that most kids want or are playing with, and he tells them that they're only three existing cards of Proffesor Brain Drain, the card all of them are trying to find because no one has one, and all of the kids go looking for them but it is a mystery because they don't really know where to look. I also like the part where they are just getting to the presidents office and they though it was The Amazing Industreo but it was someone else and they were all so surprised. What do you think? Stay posted!

2-24-10-fourth comment- Hey Kenzie! Now that I think about it, I guess you are right. I also think his powers would probably be better. I also think that what may of happened to the card is it was stolen or who ever was on the card took it. I am not sure though... I wonder if all the kids are in groups like Ordinary Boy's, with all of his friends but only a few kids are in each of the groups. I love the part when all of OBoy's friends are heading into Stenche's tree house when Plasma Girls comes in and she is the only girl that was ever in their group. I think she has a lot of courage to be in a group like that with all boys, but all of them have such...boy-ish powers. What do you think? Keep posted!!

2-23-10-third comment- Hey Kenzie! Yes I have been finding similies but only a few. I loved the part where O-Boy counts up all the cards but one is missing when he thinks he has all the cards. I wonder what happened. I also think O-Boy's powers might be that he is super smart like Brain Drain because in the grociary store he counted up all the cards like it was a peice of cake. What do you think?

2-20-10-second comment- WOW! I love this book so far. It is so funny! I love the part were Ordinary Boy and his dad are going shopping and the villin named Multiplier comes and throughs all the toilet paper around and then then turn on fire because of Thermo, Ordinary Boys dad. Also when Ordinary Boys mom tells him that he can only get two other things than what is on the shopping list but then he comes home with four and his mom freaks out! What do you think? Stay posted!

2-18-10-first-comment- Hey Kenzie! What did u think of the first couple chapters? For people who are not in out group, we are reading Ordinary Boy. I thought that they where pretty cool when they talked about all the different heros and their powers. I thought that when Ordinary Boy was talking about proffesser Brain Drain, he reminded me of the book called The Lightning Thief, where a man tried to think his way out of things. What do you think so far?

2-15-10-second comment- Hey Leah! what did you think of the first few chapters? I wonder where she is actually moving from. I guess her sister is pretty lucky compared to her. What do you think? Do you remember when Hero was talking about how her sister would fit in but then she would just sit somewhere and think? I don't get why she wont just go with other girls or friends if she just keeps complaining she wants to and probably could. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

11/2-first comment- I know we havent started the book yet, but I think it sounds pretty cool. When we read the back of the book to see what the book was about, I nticed that the text said that the kids try to find a diomond in thier house? I'm not sure, but I can't wait to get started! 2-7-10- second comment- I agree. I don't really have much to add but why do you think her dad doesn't just keep her?

2-4-10-second comment- H ey Leah! What do you think of chapters 7-9? I think they are interesting. Can you believe we only have about 2 or maybe 3 more chapters till we finish the book? Does her great--aunt live with her grandma or do they just visit? I got confused on that part. On your last comment you had said that you didn't know why Rayona would switch to an African-American family, well I think that she would go to that kind of family because I think she is African-American. In one of the chapters it said something about that. I think it was chapter 5 or 6 but I'm not sure. Why do you think that the lady that came to visit Rayona at her grandma's house was treated like royalty if she didn't even come there that often and she was her great-grandma? Rayonas family got her everything, and asked her if she needed stuff ALL the time but they didn't do that for Rayona or anyone else? I don't understand that...

First comment- Well, so far I think the book is pretty cool too. My favorite character so far is her dad also. I don't get why he would want to spend so much time with Rayona but is sending her away from him. If you aren't Leah, we are reading a book called, The Window. I love how the auther really shows the characters emotions when Rayona keeps getting mixed up by the fauster families. Rayona is the main character, her mom had to go somewhere so her dad let a woman put Rayon in fauster homes.. What do you think about her dad sending her everywhere Leah? I am just confused about one thing, since her parents are devorced, why would her mom have Rayona the most if she did all the bad things?

1-23-10- Well I am reading Paper Heart. Its about a girl and she has a heart problem that effects her daily life. She never plays outside, or has any plans with friends often, and she can't do school plays. But this year she really wants to join the play but her heart problem could stop her. Her heart is pretty much is as weak as a twig. If she even went for a walk she would go to the hospital because her heart got tired. That's as far as I have gotten. I think it is a good book so far. But to find out what happens next, you gotta go check the book out!

1-12-10- The book I am reading is The Lighting Thief. The people I am choosing to writing about are Percy Jackson, and Annebeth Chase. Percy Jackson is very much like my friend. They are alike because they are both very curios about things they haven't done and are willing to wild things (sometimes). Annebeth is like my mom. My mom does things that are kind of like archeiture and Annebeth loves that stuff, and Annebeth is the daughter of Anthea who is very wise, and to me, my mom is very wise. So these are some ways the people I am reading about are like people I know.

1-5-10- Here are my clues! : 1. The main character is Percy Jackson 2. Right now he is battling Luke in the Labyrinth 3. He also lost his two friends Grover and Tyson

1-3-10- Well, I last talked about Diary of a Wimpy Kind 4. But I'm going to go back to the book The Lightning Thief. I'm on the last few chapter of the 4th one. Right now, Percy and his friends found the person that they were looking for in the maze. But, Percy's worst nightmare Luke, already found the man and took what Percy and his friends were looking for. I'm really excited to find out what happens next. People are starting to make a movie about this book and I'm really excited to see it. To find out more you'll have to read the book!

Leah 12/27/09- Oh my god! Everyone is reading or read that book! I think I'm going to because everyone says it's sooo good. Great job Carly!!! :)

Julia- I read that book to its really good but i don't want to spoil it for you

12-17-09- I started a new book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4. Its about a boy named Greg and he is HATING his summer so far. Also, he is trying to convince his dad to get a dog, and he does. The only problem was his dog is annoying him A LOT. Another problem is he got in a fight with his best friend Rowley, and he had to go on vacation with him and his family (who are really weird). Thats as far as I have gotten so far!

12-11-09- I am still reading the Lightning Thief. I am almost done with it this time though. Percy is in the maze now and him and his friends, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are looking for the center of the maze so they can save the camp. Percy and his friends also found a man called Hundred-hands. And he was of course a man with a hundred hands. Hundred-Hands was supposed to be as tall as the mountains and he was supposed to be really strong. Percy is trying to persuade him of going back to the mountains.

Maya-12/11/09- Lightning Thief sounds great, many people have read it. Maybe I should too! Good Job Carly!

12/10/09- This book sounds great! a lot of people are reading it. I might read it soon because everybody says it good! Keep up the good work!

Erin-12/10/09- I read that book and that is exactly what happens. Good Job!

Julia- I'm reading the first book and I think it is amazing and I'm really excited to read the 2nd and 3rd one. I think you write really well and you describe things good too.

11-19-09- I am reading a book called __The Lighting Thief__. Its about a boy named Percy Jackson. Right now, I'm on the third one called The Titans Curse. I haven't started it yet cause I got it today but I'm starting it tonight. I can tell you about the second one though. Its about Pecy needing to find a special fleece to save Half-blood Hill. Half-blood Hill is for people like Percy. I'm not really sure what half-bloods are but it interesting once you start to read the book. I cant tell you any more because to fine out what happens you have to read the book!!!!!!!!

12-7-09 I am still reading The Lightning Thief. But now, I'm on the 4th one. Its really good so far and I'm almost half way through because I just started a few days ago. The 4th one is about Percy Jackson, and his friends needing to go through a magical, dangerous maze to save camp half-blood. A older boy named Luke is trying to destroy the camp because he hates just about everyone in it but mostly he hates Percy. So Percy and his friends need to find the middle of the maze before Luke because if Luke finds it first, he will find the entrance to the camp.

Sam-12/9/09-I just commented Max about it Im still trying to get the book which makes me mad. But also happy because I now Know it's going to be a really good book. Also Good job!
