I just read the companion book/sequel to "Holes" by Louis Sachar, called "Small Steps." I think you all would love it! It follows Armpit and Xray after Camp Green Lake as they try to take "small steps" to make their lives successful. Once again, the story intertwines different story lines and clever characters and it all ties together in the end. I think so many of you would like it, but I won't read it aloud for two reasons: 1) There is some mature content and 2) Sequels should never be read-alouds. So if anyone would like to borrow it you can check it out from me. P.S. No Stanley and Zero are not main characters, but there still is some hole-digging and unlikely heroes!
I've just finished a very, well not so happy book called "The Reptile Room." It's good, but like Lemony Snicket says "if you're looking for a book with a happy ending you should just close this book." But I kept reading. Now if you have read this book I am thinking of opening up to "The Wide Window."
Ready, set, Read! This may seem anoying but it was a preety doggome good book!A couple days ago when Manda stayed the night we read Mercy to the Rescue!It was by one of my favorite authors Kate DiCamello! Author of Because of Winn-Dixie and many others.(Books that is!)I hope you get to read this exciting adventure and feel the magic of Kate DiCamillo!!!!
if you read Under Standing Buddy well you probley know how i feel about the book. It's a pretty sad book. I loved the book and i hope you do when you read it. What it's about is buddy is a new kid at there school. His enemy was Alex because he always cauld him dum or mental because he never talks to him. Well his best friend he found out that his mom was dead=(. Then his friend stood up for buddy now there friends tell the end!!
I just got done reading Harry Potter and The Camber Of Secrets. It was a really good book. I would recomend this book to anyone. It was really good. Read!
I just read a sad/funny kind of a book it's called Mick Harte Was Here by Barbara Park. The book was about a boy who got hit by a semi his sister tells the story so if you want to read a book about a hero(well I think so anyways)
Yes, i've read the book about Richard Petty the king of Nascar. it goes around the family of famous race car drivers like Lee Petty,Richard Petty,Kyle Petty,and even Richard's wife Lynda Owens,also the presiedent Ronald Reagan. And it also tells you all the jobs he's done like drag racing,and a mechanic.
Recently, i read a book called Hope Was Here. It is a fabulous story about a girl who's mom left her and gave her to a good friend. She grows up and knows that she has a different mom who named her Tulip. She hates the name and legally changes it to Hope. But responsibility and power lurk in the name. She may have moved many times and it may have seemed like she might have to leave all friends behind, but her new city is her favorite. She has much hope inside her that her boss will be voted mayor. But she loses that hope when she finds out about her good friend, who helps her boss, gets mugged and beaten and has many bones broken. When her so called gaurd mom goes on a date with her boss, she gets freaked out. About a year later her guardian gets married to her boss and they live happily ever after. Or do they? In two grand years her new father dies! She has less hope then but she goes to college and has more hope than ever before.
I just got done reading a wonderful book. It was called REBOUNDER. It is about a boy who had other troubles at his old school like once when he went up to get a rebound his elbow hit a nother kids eye and damaged his seeing. But it eventially came back. At his new school the coach wants him to play because he's tall and strong. But ever sence he was in the rebounding accident he doesn't know if he should play.
This is all I'm going to tell you so I don't spoil it.
ps: this book is one of my favorites.
i have read many good Nancy Drew books lately but the best one I would say would be the Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk. I love it. It was just so good. I love suspenseful books, and I will always love reading Nancy Drew books.
I just read Mist of the chincotig island it is about a boy and a girl that live on a farm. There is also a nother island called assitige bay thats where all thees horses are found. They do this thing called pony penning day i think thay still do it to day but not sur. I realy liked this book i think every body els would to.

Irecamend the Narnia siries becaus they travle to Narnia and have awsome adventures.My favorite part was when Eustace and Jill meet Prince Rulian and saved him from the witch. My second favorite part is when Digory's Grandfather tells him his aunt had a special box that containd a ring. I ashure that people who like fantasy and mythes will love this book.
Some good books I read where the 1st 3 books of passages. These are books about kids are playing games, hiding, or exploring they all fall into a blackhole and go back in time to the Middle Ages. So I say that i hope you read these books and the last 3 I had not read yet.

Yes, I just finished the book Shiloh Season. It is a awesome book. You should read it because it is about a boy named Marty Preston and his dog Shiloh. If you have already read Shiloh and you have not read Shiloh Season I can't tell you very much about the book. I really think that if you read this fantasic book you would like it.

I had just read a great book Because Of Winn-Dixie.It is about a girl and she finds a dog at the store.and I better not tell you any more info.I recommend this book to you.
I think that the best book I am reading but not finished with is Number The Stars it is the sad but good. This story is of a girl Annemarie and her friend Ellen. Ellen is a Jew - this is back in world war 2 - and they were tring to smuggle Jews I'm at the part were they are just about to smuggle Ellen they are going to the boat. It is a great book I hope you would read this book. And there is a funny little girl named Kirsti. So think of reading it!!
Well it's me again! Another awsome book would be Bud Not Buddy! It is fonominal. It's about A boy who is an orphan that is split up from his brother and runs awa from this abusing family. well gotta go the race is on. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is leading!
My book is called Number The Stars.Most of the the time it is really sad. I still think this is a really good, and you should read it.
P.s. you should be around 5th grade.
I just finished Ella Enchanted it is a realy good book. It is filled with exiting creaters. You should read it some time.
I read a book a little while ago. I t was called Stepping on the Crack. Its about a girl named nargret and her friend named Elizabeth. And the are growing up while World War II is ahppening and both of there brothers are in the war. While the war is goig on they are having there own little war with a bullie at school and theyfollow him into the woods they arent suppose to go into. THery see something that change their lives forever What they find out can hurt or even kill people they care about. You can see what happens by reading Steppin on the Cracks. PS it is a reading counts book.
I like to read books that make me laugh. There was this one book that was called Lillys Crossing it was so sad Icould even cry it was about a girl her mother died so she never got to see her mother again but her mother left behind stickers shaped like stars. Every time she went on her vacation she would stick a star on her wall.That would tell how many years her mother had pased away.I love to read and so should you.
I just read the book "Loser." It is a really great book. I got in one of the sacks that the 5th graders gave me. I think that it is really neat that I have a family at school that cares about me. Oh Let me get back nto the book. As i was saying, "Loser" is a really great book. Mrs Kloppenburg had reading groups and it was won of the books people read. I think it is a really great book.

the second time he keeps him seceretly over high hill in his back yard, when one day a strong german shepard jumps over the lean to that marty made for shilow. Being only a little puppy he wasnt strong enough to fight the big dog off. Anyways,if you like sad storys about dogs then you will love shilow.

Well i'm not to sure if they have A book on the Nascar legend no, not Dale Earnhardt! But non other than Cole Trickle. It's A movie about A person named Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) and he doesn't know A thing about cars. He does about half way through the movie. There's this one part where he runs into his pit wall. Well this is Nate D. signing off.
I just finished The Very Real Ghost Story Of Christiana Rose. It was awsome. READ IT!!!!!
hey guys hope you've been reading!I've been reading the series of unfortunate events books and i really reccomend them to you! even though lemony snicket says not to read them. i know he is joking since they are fiction books and i really realy like them and i got the 10th book The Slippery Slope and i have not read all of them. The good thing is though that i know pretty much what goes on if i haven't read all of them because Lemony explains what happens in the book before. Bye see you all next time and hope you post more!
