How my Private Personal Journal Bacome a Bestseller

How my Private Personal Journal Became a Bestseller is a good book so far because it starts out as "thirty seconds! thirty seconds!" I am not far in this book at all. I also like this book because it
Is about a girl that has a journal. I am predicting that in the book the girl will become famous and everyone will start writing, or that people will make friends with her.

Mariel of Redwall

Mariel of Redwall is just another one of those Redwall books, though it's the one where I finaly realized the authors skill!  I know I've just been telling you how good they are for the past few blogs on this series, and I feel really bad about that, so I'll try to do better this time.  Anyway, back to Mariel of Redwall, While I was reading this book the voice in my head was saying, ''wow, this author is an incredible poet, songwriter, and overall storyteller!  As the rating goes on the cover, "Grand storytelling"!  Something to add to all this is that all of the books are full to the brim with beautiful poems, some of wich are similiar to the poem you can find in our social studies books on page 3.

The Seeing Stone (The Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 2)

Im reading the second book in the Spiderwick Chronicles. And yes, you do have to read the first book to get the second. Its a great book. If you like mysticle things like trolls and stuff, then you will love this. Its about a kid who finds a dusty thick old book. He opens it even when a note says DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! Then a whole world opens up before his eyes. I love this book because it has so many genres like action, humor, horror and a lot more. All 'n all, this book is a 9. not a 10 because somtimes the pictures get in the way. you'll know what I mean when you read the book.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

This book is by Kate DiCamillo. I really like it so far; I think I would give it a 10 so far.It’s about a china rabbit named Edward Tulane was own by a girl who treated him very well and adored him completely. One day he fell into the sea and a fisherman fish him up and gave him to his wife.

I think that Edward will get back to the girl in the end. I also feel bad for Edward because he’s getting toss around like he’s just any old thing and he’s not use to it. When I was reading it I felt a bunch of different feelings like sadness, happiness, and scared that nobody would find him he would just stay there or where he was; but I always hoped that someone would.

Rules

Rules is a book about a girl whos little brother suffers from a disease that makes him really babyish and even grownups can have it. She loves her little brother but she is embarrassed at him and is over helpful and over protective to him. She has a friend in a wheel chair that she likes but she is embarrassed of him too. This shows that you do not have to be embarrassed over things you like. I would give this book a 9 because it was really good but it could use more action.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

I am a fan of Roal Daul and this is one my favorite books of his, and like the book Georges Mavelous Medicine by Roal Daul, that I also posted on, is very funny and desciptive. It's about a fox and his hungry family that are pretty-much starving to death and haven't eaten in three days. So they start digging, then soon they find out that this hole time they've been living under a farm! But how will the family get the food that thy need? Fantastic Mr. Fox has a plan.

I would rate this book an 8

Little House on the Prairie

The Little house books are very interesting. I can't believe how interesting Laura (the main character,) how amazing her life is.

She has two sisters named Mary and Caroline. She has a dog named Jack and she calls her mom, ma and her dad, pa, which I think is very cool how the difference between now and then. She has many adventures in the books. There is so many things that happen to her that I can not believe she experienced. There is so many questions I want to ask  her like did she really do  all the things she said she did? I guess I wouldn't know since she past away.

I would give this book a nine for all the charming language.

The Sisterhood Of the Traveling Pants: Girls in Blue The Fourth Summer Of the Sisterhood

I am very sad that this series is over. This was the last book and this is my favorite series besides Harry Potter (which has also ended). It is about 4 girls who are all very different but are like sisters and they call themselves the Septembers because they were all born in that month. Carmen's father left their family when she was little and is very self-conscious, Bridget loves soccer and is outgoing and her mother died when she was still a teenager, Lena is from Greece and is shy but very kind, and Tibby makes movies and she is the more serious out of the friends. They are are all teenagers and in the last book they are in college. There isn't A LOT of romance in these books but depending on which one your reading they amount varies. It's nice not to have that "hard core" romance that I've been reading lately. By brain really needs a break but they way that the author wrote the book, there was just enough romance to hold me over and I repeatadly thought to myself, "More romance, please!" But if there WAS more romance, it would be too much! I definitely recommend this series and I would give it a 10 because I always wanted to keep reading and it is one of my favorites.

Our Only May Amelia

I like this book because it is funny an it is just a really good book. This book is by Jennifer L. Holm, I think she is a great auther because in this book I feel like I am actually in the book it just gets in my head so well. When I finish reading the Sharon Chreech books, witch are the best, I want to start reading all the books by Jennifer L. Holm. This book is about how May Amelia is the only child girl on the Nasel. I would recomened this book because it is so good. The only bad part with this book is that when someone is talking, the auther does not put in the quotes were someone is talking so it is kind of confusin when you read it because you don't know who is talking.

I would give this book a 10 because it so well written because the auther makes the book kind of sound like you are actually there I would deffinetly recomened this book!

When i first saw this book, I said to my self "A. This book looks interesting." So then I read the back to see if it was actually good. When i read the back i said to my self " Wow. This book looks interesting because it says that May Amelia is the only girl on the Nasel. When I started to read the book I said to my self again "This book is really good i think I am going to keep reading this book, and I am. So read it, its really good!

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great book. You know how they have those books that are real classics and then they make them a kids book? Well this book is a classic but the copy that I'm reading is the original text. Or at lest that's what my mom says. But I kind of know that this is the original book because, well, this book (so far) has no swearing, but it does have the "N" word in it. If you don't know what the "N" word is, you don't have to. I'm only on page 12 because it's a pretty dense book, but, I still think it's a great book I mean, It's funny and it (so far) is a great adventure ( I guess that's why it's called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). I would rate this this book a 10 because of the reasons I just said. But I just started the book so the rating might change, but I don't think so.

The Wish

I just finished reading The Wish, and i have some thoughts on it. First of all, it is about this girl, Wilma, (personally, I think that Wilma is a wierd name), who meets an old lady on the bus, and gets a wish. I bet you can guess what she wished for, she wished to be the most popular kid at her school, (honestly, i think that that is a wierd thing to wish for, just be yourself). But they are in 8th grade, and graduation is coming soon, so that means... Wilma wont be popular for very long.

This book was really great. I would really reccomend it because it has a bunch of good lessons in it. For example, Wilma learns that she wants friends that like her for who she is. Also, that she should be herself, and not count on other people. And the last one, don't worry about what other people think.

During this book, the "voices in my head" were saying a bunch of things. Like, "I cant believe that wilma just said that!" Or, "Will jared still like Wilma after graduation?" And sometimes, "Will her friends believe her?" So you can see that this book made me think, but also make connections.

Also, this book had great detail, and I didnt want to stop reading it. I think that when Wilma tried to tell her "friends" about what had happened, they wouldnt believe her, but then they would come back because what she said, she ment. But, it ended up having her "friends" believe her right away, which I thought was weird.

I really hope that you consider reading this book. I would give it an 7 or 8. It is really good. Oh, and by the way, in my oppinion, this book might not be the best for boys. Remember, its really good!

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh is about a mouse (and widow of Jonathon) named Mrs. Frisby. She finds out that her youngest son, Timothy has pneumonia. That means that he can't go outside for a couple of weeks. The catch is that they live on a farm and the farmer is going to take the plow out in a couple of days. That would tear up Mrs. Frisby's house! She goes from place to place, asking for help, until she runs in to the rats of Nimh.

I, so far, love this book! I really like how the author writes with such detail. The plot is very deep too. Sometimes, it seems as if I am in the book! It is really interesting how Mrs. Frisby connects, some how, with the rats of Nimh! It is really hard not to give away this book because there are amazing things that happen but they don't have anything to do with the plot! The problem about this book is that it isn't told in first person. For some unexplainable reason, I like a book written in first person. I think that it's because I can really get the feel of the main character's thoughts! Although, I would still rate this book a ten! Enjoy!

Gaia Girls Enter the Earth

I think that this book is one of the most detailed you can come across. It very vividly describes what is going on. For example:
"...and through The Chaplain's leaves she could see the lights of her house. ...took her time walking slowly up the slope of the long, green yard." Page 49.
"... maybe the trees are so old they remember the Iroquois Indians. Maybe the Indians purposefully left those oaks in a line as guideposts. Elizabeth liked that idea and liked to think that once, long ago before the European farmers came to clear the woods, there had been a great line of oaks nodding and waving to each other and passing information up and down a living line all through Upstate New York." Page 12.
"She was in the dark but felt compelled to move herself toward the most beautiful sounds she had ever heard. It sounded like harps and choirs and bells and magic. The sound grew louder and louder until it was all around her." Page 64.

It's about a girl who lives on this incredible farm that seems to stretch for miles. She has almost a connection with the earth. One day some otter stands on its hind legs and says that she needs to help it. This otters name is Gaia. Gaia is the earth. At the same time evil Harmony Farms a factory farm is buying land from the farmers in Avon.  

"Boy, they made it sound so great. Harmony Farms was feeding the hungry and doing it cheaply... It made her feel weird but not as weird as what she was next... Such farms were called CAFOs, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. The pictures were disgusting. Pigs were crammed so close together they bit each other's tails! Chickens had their beaks burned dull. Cows pumped full of antibiotics and things called growth hormones and then killed by shooting a bolt in their brains. And it got worse... air for miles around had toxic chemicals in it. It ran off into rivers and streams and ruined them. Those living near it had to move because of asthma attacks and giant swarms of flies." Pages 174-175.

This is why Gaia was asking for help. She was becoming destroyed. She needed Elizabeth to help her save herself.

So far I like this book because it is about saving the planet and has an important message. This is a series of six. I hope that you try it or one of the others. I would rate this book a perfect ten.

The BFG

There is a giant named BFG. I was wondering What BFG stands for. I tried to figure out what starts with a B,F, and a G My first guess was Big Frightening Giant. My second guess was Bored Fighting Giant. My third guess was the Big Firendly Giant. If you want to know which name fits him the best you will just have to read the book. I would rate this book a 9 because I want to be precise. Not all books are 10. I would recomend this book if you like heart warming, and funny books then you would like the BFG.

Deep Wizardry

Deep Wizardry is a great book if you liked the Harry Potter series. Deep Wizardry is the second book in the Young Wizards Series. The first book is So You Want to be a Wizard. In both the Harry Potter and Young Wizards series, the main wizards are about the same age. However, the books have more differences than similarities. One difference is that the authors have very different styles of writing. When I read Harry Potter I can see parts of the book flashing my mind. I don't think that I do that because I saw the Harry Potter movies. I was seeing parts of the book in my mind even before the movies came out. In Deep Wizardry it is harder for me to see parts of the book in my mind. I liked this book because it has a few more surprises than the first book of the series. Deep Wizardry hooked me in as soon as I started reading it. I just could not put the book down! I think that the book can be confusing at times, but still very interesting. I strongly suggest that you read the first book before you read this one or you will be really confused. I would rate this book as a 10 for the whole book, but my rating would vary for different parts of the book.

Lionboy: The Chase - Book Two

I am reading Lion Boy: The Chase. I really enjoy the detail that the author puts into these books. In the book there is a animal called a Saber Toothed Lion but they said that Snowy leaperds had gone extinced. I don't think they have gone extinced yet witch enfasises Annapurna saying that she thought this toke place in the future. I have a feeling the anwser to this question is yes but, I was woundering if there is a natural history musseum in France? The reason I ask this is because they talked about one in the book.
