The Girl Who Cried Monster!

Dear Readers,

I Have read the book Goosebumps: The Girl Who Cried Monster. In this book there is a girl named Lucy Dark and she is spending her summer vacation annoying her six-year old brother with minor scares and participating in the local library's reading program. It is called 'Reading Rangers' and run by the unpleasent Mr. Mortman (who always has wet hands). He encourages Lucy to read the classics, but she is only interested in monster tales. In a failed attempt to retrieve forgotten rollerblades, Lucy sees Mortman transform into a monster while feeding his pet turtles. Lucy tries to tell her friends and family, but no one believes her because of her monster obsession. She uses the reading club to hide in the library again and witnesses Mortman transform for a second time. She sees him eat a turtle!

Lucy runs to the locked door and realizes the door is locked from the inside. She makes it out of the library again. She runs home and sees her friend Aaron, who she then tries to convince that she saw a monster. He doesn't believe her. She goes into her house and tries to convince Randy about Mr. Mortman, but he too doesn't believe her. Mortman shows up at her house to return a forgotten bookbag and ask if she stayed behind. She lies. Mortman leaves as her mother shows up. Lucy bribes Aaron into spying on Mortman as again, no one believes her. Aaron sees him transform but is unreliable later. Another round of hiding in the library nets Lucy photographic evidence, but Mortman sees her and gives chase. Lucy escapes. Her film ends up showing an empty desk; Mortman seemingly does not resolve on film.

Lucy and Aaron tail Mortman home. She sees him eating several live fish, snails and eels from an aquarium. Aaron does not, as he is looking for a ladder. Lucy is caught but gives a convincing cover story. She is later forced to attend the Reading Rangers meeting. Mortman locks the door and makes her feel threatened. She spills part of a card catalogue, distracting the adult and allowing her to escape. She meets up with Aaron, who had seen Mortman transform and is willing to talk. Lucy's parents, upon hearing the news, invite Mortman for dinner. Halfway through it is revealed that Lucy's family reveal they are monsters. To the cheers of the kids, Mortman is eaten by the parents.

Mary on Her Own

Dear readers,

The book that I'm Reading is called Mary own her own it's about a girl that goes off to a blinds college called Iowa college for the blind. She became blind from scarlet fever because it reached her eyes. In the book she has many trump times that are hard for her like staying at the college for winter and not going home, another time is when she was lost because a student left her in the rain but then the student got sent home. She also had many good times though like meeting all new people and great friends and having a education even though shes blind.

In this book I learned that anyone can go to school and accomplish anything. I think that this book was very great and inspiring. If I was Mary I would defiantly not be as calm as she was during her life when she was blind because without sight you can't do as much and have as much fun in things. This book was very inspiring to me you should read it sometime.

Narnia: Prince caspian

Lord of Misrule

In a College Town, vampires and humans have a relatively bloodless harmony. Until Amelie's Father Bishop Comes to Town. He threatens evil back into the undead and break the peace. But Bishop is not the only threat to the town.

Violent black clouds promise a storm of devastating proportions. As Claire Danvers and her friends Eve, Micheal, and Shane try to defend Morganville against natural and unnatrual. Suddenly, the vampires begin to disappear one by one, Until Claire finds out something that leads her to her final choice: Swear Allegiance to Bishop or Die!

In these books when a vampire goes into the sun they get burned which can make them die depending on how old they are. Officer O'Malley starting just walking out in the sun and Claire tried to stop him but he pushed her out of the way the covered him in a blanket to try to help but he died. I wonder why he would just die like that? Did he want to or did Bishop do something to him? When Eve, Claire, and Hannah arrived at the University Micheal almost walked out into the sun. Micheal is the youngest vampire so he could die immediately. They had to shoot him. (But he is okay) Claire and Eve are wondering why this is happening. Hannah has a cousin who lives in a house very similar to Claire's. It is a founder house. (A founder house is a house owned by Amelie) They went in it to give Lisa (Hannah's cousin) a walkie-talkie, when they walked in the house she has weapons and in the living room chairs with vampires tied to them. Lisa is on the human side, she does not care for vampires one bit. As for Claire and her friends want it to end out in peace between both sides. That is how I would want it to end too. I wonder why Lisa doesn't like vampires? Everybody in the town has a job to do so that everybody is safe, Claire, Eve, and Hannah where sent to hand out the walkie-talkies. Shane is taking care of the bloodmobile and the vampire's appetites. Micheal is supposed to be guarding the university. They are trying to make Bishop leave but not kill him because Bishop is Amelie's dad. I wonder why Bishop wants to destroy his daughters town? That is it for now!

Hope you enjoyed!

Dark Vision

Dear class,

I'm reading Dark Visions by L.J. Smith. There are three books in the trilogy. It is about a psychic named Kaitlyn (Kait). Kait has a reputation of being a witch because when ever she draws something, it comes true. She doesn't just randomly draw them, when she draws the drawings, its not really her drawing it, its her psychic sense. The other reason (I think this is a weird reason) is because of her eyes. They are smokey blue, and at the outside of each iris, and in the middle, were darker rings. People thought they were strange eyes, evil eyes. Eyes that saw what weren't meant to be seen. She accepts an invitation to go to the Zetes Institute, where she can start fresh, with 4 other teens with psychic powers.

The part that I'm at, Kait, Gabriel, Rob, Anna, and Lewis (all kids from the Institute) are in Oregon looking for "a white house at a cliff with a beach". They found out that Mr. Zetes and Joyce (people in charge of the institute) are evil. They are trying to use the psychic powers for something bad.

Some character motivations I noticed:

• The only reason Kait wanted to go to California to the Zetes Institute is because she thinks that her psychic power is really bad. She thinks that she isn't predicting things with her drawings, she's making them happen. She wants to learn how to control her psychic power and she wants to start fresh. Apparently, they also offered her a lot of money for a scholarship to whatever college she wants when shes done at the Institute.


• They ran away from the institute because Joyce and Zetes are evil. They are trying to kill the teens. Kait and Rob found files in Joyce's office. They said: KAITLYN BRADY FAIRCHILD PROJECT BLACK LIGHTING and there was one like that for all of them. They found another one that said: SABRINA JESSICA GALLO, BLACK LIGHTNING PILOT STUDY. Then there was the word TERMINATED. Then they found out that Sabrina and the other kids in the pilot study went insane and Zetes is controlling them.

Thats all I have read. Thanks for reading my blog!!!

Hardy boys, The sting of the scorpion

Dear Ms.English and Class,
I am Reading the hardy boys, the sting of the scorpion.The most important charactor is the hardy boys and their dad because they are the ones solving the mysteries. the author helps me get to know the charactor by decribing the way they look and they even include some pictures that help me see what they look like. I learned from the author that someone in the book, Chet, likes to eat when he is nevous, mad, sad, Etc. The charactors in the story get along good because they are all friends except for the bad guys and the hardy boys. In this book the charactors don't have alot of choices when they are in trouble but do judo or run away! When Frank hardy,the older brother, runs away then the younger brother Joe does the same so that he does not get caught by the bad guys or sometimes police men that are just phonies. Sometimes after thwy complete a mystery Frank and Joe become alot more happy because they completed another mystery. Frank and Joes friends are a small role because they only help them on rides and not in the real solving like Chet is.

Uglies

I read Uglies by Scott Westerfield at home and it is a really good book!
Summary: It's something like 500 years in the future. This bacteria thing wiped out most people that live today (called "Rusties"). Tally Youngblood lives at that time in the future. There, normal people are called "ugly" until they turn 16, and they get cosmetic surgery that makes them pretty and bubbleheaded. Tally is younger, than most of her friends, and they all turned pretty already. Tally can't wait.
But now she is all alone because her friends left to go to New Pretty Town because they turned pretty. Tally really wants to talk to her best friend, Peris, so she goes to Pretty town to crash a party.
But when she is there, Peris doesn't really want to talk to her until she's pretty. Then, she grabs a bungee jacket (a jacket that makes you bounce when you hit the ground) and jumps off the roof.
A skinny girl called Shay finds her, and they find out that they share the same birthday. But Shay, unlike Tally, doesn't really want to be pretty.
Shay teaches Tally how to hoverboard, and they become really close friends.
Months Later...
Shay runs away to escape the pretty operation. Tally's pretty sad. Special Circumstances (which are people that fix things) get Tally and make her find Shay and bring her back. They say that either Tally finds Shay, or never turn pretty at all.
Guess what. Tally agrees to find Shay and turn her in. That's how much she wants to be pretty.
So, Tally needs to find Shay. When she finds her she finds out how "fun" it is to be in the New Smoke. So, she forgets that she has to act as a spy and she actually lives there for a while. Tally has a friend, David, that sort of makes her remember that she was supposed to be a spy, so she takes off the heart pendant that the Specials gave her to contact them. David's mom, Maddy, told Tally why she escaped being pretty. Tally finds out that being pretty makes you think you're better than everyone else and makes you bubbleheaded. Then, Maddy's found a cure for prettiness but doesn't want to use it yet. When Tally tries to burn the pendant, it sends a signal to the Specials and they come to get Shay. Shay is really mad, angry, and irritated at Tally. The Specials take Shay away and make her pretty. Maddy wants Shay to try the cure, but Shay doesn't want to, since the surgeons made her bubbleheaded and dumb. So Tally lets herself be experimented on and the book ends with her wanting to be pretty.

The main character is Tally. I think that she is important because she's what the whole story is about; who everyone revolves around. Another character is Shay. She's important to the book because it sorta depends on Shay, because she runs away and Tally has to chase her back. Another main character is David, but he isn't that important. David is important because Tally becomes a good friend of him, and lets her see his mom.
Shay running away affected Tally because Tally had to go find her and bring her back. Tally had a choice to bring Shay back or never be pretty, so Tally actually chose to bring Shay back. So that means that Shay wasn't as important as being pretty to Tally.
At the end of the book, Tally changes because at first she thought the best thing in life was to be pretty, but at the end she realized that friends were more important. The author helps for you to get to know Tally by describing that she had "a large nose" and other things.

My Last Best Friend

Dear Students,

I have been reading "My Last Best Friend" by Julie Bowie. It is about this girl names Ida May, Ida is starting fourth grade, and she never wants to make a new best friend. Her best friend Elizabeth moved away. When a new girl named Stacey comes to the school, Stacey starts to hang out with Jenna Drews, who is very mean to Ida. Jenna Drews calls Ida, I-duh! Stacey likes Ida, and Ida likes Stacey. But as Ida says she does not want a new best friend. Stacey starts lying and saying things like "I have a rich aunt; I have parents that fly over the world!" Ida secretly starts to write notes to Stacey. They become connected as friends. Although Stacey does not know who the secret writer is because she goes by the name "Cordelia."

A powerful character in this story is Ida because she is independent and is always nice, she tries to avoid Jenna.

I learned that Stacey only lies because she wants to be cool, and does not want anyone to know that Stacey lives with her Grandma.

Jenna is the character that has the small important role, if it was not for her there would not be a good story, it would be boring. Jenna always is mean and it makes the book exciting you could say.

Hope you all enjoyed!

Sincerely,

JA!
