The Wide Window

Dear Fellow Students and Teachers,


I am read a book called the Wide Window which is the 3rd book in a Series of Unfortunate events but it is one of my favorite. It is by Lemony Snicket. Well of course that is not his real name but his pen name. It is about 3 orphans called Violet, Klaus, and Sunny whose parents have perished in a fire. Their parents left them a huge fortune but Count Olaf wants it VERY badly. The Baudelaires get sent to their scared Aunt Josephine which is scared of about everything. She lives on a cliff of Lake Lachrymose which has lachrymose leeches. The Leeches usually do not harm humans but when they smell food on humans then they attack. Aunt Josephine has a husband called Ike which got killed by the Lachrymose Leeches. He waited 45 minutes after eating instead of an hour. Anyways, now Josephine is scared of everything, from Lake Lachrymose to realtors. Count Olaf is very evil and sneaky, and he will do anything to get their fortune. This time Count Olaf dressed up as a guy called Captain Sham and he pretended he had a wooden leg. He fooled Aunt Josephine but not the Baudelaires, which notice everything. Count Olaf makes Josephine write a note telling that Captain Sham is their new parent, and made her jump out the window. Of course the Baudelaires noticed that Josephine was gone so they try to find her using the note she wrote. That's all I'll tell you now because this is my FAVORITE book and I wrote a lot already.

I had about a million questions, reactions, connections, opinions, predictions, and visualizations but I will probably just tell you three. First, how come all the Baudelaires' adopted parents tend to either die or are evil? Since they have to be raised by a relative, why would their relatives be evil? All the nice ones die (unfortunately) . I think that the Baudelaires feel really sad when they find a person they really like and then they see Count Olaf and they are just as dead as a doornail after 2 weeks. I know you are probably very bored because this is the longest reading response I have ever did, but there is just a little bit more. This book is not like any you've read before because it tells the story from the first person, not from Violet, Sunny, Klaus, or Count Olaf, but from the author, Lemony Snicket. You never notice it except in the beginning of all the chapters. You never have to look in a dictionary when you read this book and come to words you don't know because it tells you the meaning when it comes to a difficult word, like dowager. This book is the best book I've read and you should really read it too. FINALLY we're at the end!

Tuck Everlasting






Classmates


I am reading Tuck Everlasting. It is about a girl who gets lost in the woods and finds a boy name Jesse. When Jesse tells Winnie their families secret she is forced to come back to their house so they know she will not go off and tell their secret. I wondered why Jesse told her the secret in the first place if they didnt want any body else to know. Was he expecting her to drink the water and come with them? I think this is a great book and I would definatly suggest it.

Eleven

Dear classmates,

The book I am reading is called Eleven. In the book Winnie has just gone through a hard but an very unselfish thing. The hole fifth grade went to an ice skating rink and near the end of the night there was something called girls pick where all the girls got to pick one boy to skate with and hold hands. But when Winnie wants to pick a boy named Toby, but a weird and annoying boy named Alex tells the principle that he thinks he will not be picked, so when the principle heard that she went to Winnie and asked her if she would be nice and ask him (as an option), and Winnie would feel guilty. So Winnie ended up skating with Alex!!! One of my reactions when I read that was that I felt bad for Winnie because she didn't get to skate with the one she wanted to(Toby).

The amazing days of Abby Hayes, Te Declaration Of Independence

Dear Class,


The book that i have started to read is called, The Amazing Days Of Abby Hayes, The Declaration Of Independence. This book is about a girls parents that are going to join the Fall Festival at the high school. Abby wants to go with her friend and not her parents and she wants to prove how mature she can be.

Abby lives with a mom , dad, little brother named Alex, and two twin sisters that fight a lot named, Eva and Isabel. I had a few questions on this book, i was wondering why Alex making a big deal about Abby getting to go to the Festival with her friends. My other question was did Abby want to do soccer.

This book remind s me of when i always go to Disney World i have to stay with my parents. It is very annoying and embarrassing but i Know why, because Disney world is a big place just to go around by you're self.

I think that Abby will take Alex somewhere to make it up to him, because you can't keep someone mad forever.

sincerely,

SW

Hurt go Happy

Dear Class,


I am reading Hurt go Happy by Ginny Rorby. It is about a deaf girl called Joey. Joey has red hair and a brother. She meets a chimp when she is picking mushrooms and has fun with her. I have not finished the book but so far it is pretty good. I like it when Sukari, the chimp, made Joey try to learn how to use sign language because she currently does not know how to use sign language. Joey can sort of lip read though. If you want to read something interesting, you really should read this book. I think joey feels really frustrated when she does not know what other people are saying. She only catches a few words so she has to kind of make out the other words. If I were Joey I would feel left out. I would be thankful that Sukari came.

My Mom and Other Mysteries of the Universe

Arlie thinks her mother's always bossing her around. Her mother thinks she needs to have more effort in everything. Her parents are going on a business trip. So she going to one of her relatives. Basically that's all I've read so far because I just started it.



I like the book because very interesting and I want to know what will happen next. I predict that she will see her mom in a whole different way. After she sees her mom in a whole different way she will obey her more. This is a very good book because she learns to like her mom better and know that her mom loves her. I would be very sad if I thought my mom didn't love me.

Peter and the Starcatchers

Class,
I have been reading a book called Peter and the Starcatchers. The author is Dave Barry and the illistrator is Ridley Pearson. Its almost like Peter Pan but this is more than the little kid version. What I have so far is about Peter and other orfananages are about to go on a boat called the Never Land. Some of my questions why are Peter and the other orfanages going on the boat? The other question is where is the boat Never Land going?

Thanks for reading,
JB
