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!

The battle of the labyrinth

Dear class:

The book im still reading is The battle of the labyrinth. So far in the book, Percy and his friends are still in the labyrinth and found them selfs at a barn which is known as The Triple G Ranch and percy made a bet with a two-headed dog Geryon that he could clean the stable where the fire breathing horses are of his friends would be fed to kronos (percys enemy he must fight in the underworld). While they were at the ranch, percy saw Nico (son of hades who is the god of the underworld) and he's mad at percy for letting his sister Bianca die when it wasnt percys fault.

Some of the actions that percy had was when he was arguing with Geryon and almost got in a fight. No emotions have accured in the book yet but I predict pretty soon Annabeth (percys friend) and percy will have a relation-ship together.

Sincerely,
Mark

Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: The New Girl

Dear all readers,

Lately I have been reading a book called, "Allie Finkle Rules for Girls." Allie is the new girl at Pine Heights Elementary. Just like me I was the new girl at Mills Park Elementary, but now we are almost done with 5th grade so I guess you can say that I am not a new student anymore. Allie Finkle has 3 friends/classmates ( Caroline, and Sophie, and of course Erica.)

The reason why I picked this book because I moved from a school that I loved and it was hard for me so i decide to read book that had the same experienced I have been through


Questions that I can answer: Are there any powerful characters in the story? Yes there is the main character is Allie and her friends/classmates. What makes the that way? Well first of, Allie is on the front of the book so she is most likely going to be on the main character. Her friends, definitely Erica because she lives right next to Allie. How did the characters int he story feel about one another? Allie and her classmate Rosemary do not get along in the story, Rosemary dose not like Allie and wants to beat her up after school. Allie dose not know what to do I guess you can say that this not going to be a good year at Pine Heights Elementary. The reason I know this is because someone wouldn't just beat you up for know reason. I think that Allie should tell a grown up or some one she trust.
Hey if you are a new girl or boy at a school you will probably understand what Allie Finkel is going through might not be difficult for some one who has experienced it before. So tell me do you think you will ever be able to a school that you love and care for so much like Allie did?

Stargazer

Dear Readers,
I am reading the book called Stargazer, By Claudia Gray. It is the second book to the Ever night novels and is AWESOME!!!!! The main character is named Bianca and her boyfriend Lucas.I am on pg. 113 and I will tell you what has happened so far.
Bianca is a vampire. Lucas (her boyfriend) is a vampire hunter. there is bound to be trouble there isn't it???Anyways, she and him cannot be together so since Bianca is still at
Ever night Academy she cannot be with Lucas because Ever night is a school for Vampires. And so one night Bianca tells her parents she is going to go watch a meteor shower over the weekend and camp out. (She loves Astronomy so her parents would fall for the lie.)SO would her best friend/roommate, Raquel.
I bet you figured out by now where she was headed. She was going to sneak out and go find Lucas because Lucas had come to near Ever night on a hunt. But on the way to meeting up with Lucas, Bianca finds a vampire 14- year-old girl that she soon will find out is someone very important. The girl says that a man is following her and she wanted to act like she had ran into a friend, so she would be safe. So Bianca obviously couldn't refuse to her and told her that she could walk with her until she and Lucas meet up at the train station. But when they get to the train station Bianca confronts the girl and tells her that she wants some privacy when Lucas comes because (I really don't blame her for saying this.) they haven't seen each other in 6 months. The girl says "Of course" but then Lucas comes and things get ugly. The girl is a vampire and Lucas is a vampire hunter soo the girl and Lucas are in danger. But Lucas would never ever hurt Bianca...... Lucas loses and the girl runs off.

But when Lucas drops Bianca back at Evernight, Bianca runs into friend Balthazer and he tells her that the vampire girl was his Sister Charity. From the 1500 when he was changed.WHOA!!!!

BYe for now

Miley Cyrus Miles to Go

Dear readers,

So far in the book Miley is stuck in middle school with the goths, nerds, the cools, and the bullies. To her excitement she tries out for the part of Hannah Montana. That means skipping her cheer leading competions and practice. She keeps getting called back to L.A for more auditions and her mom just doesn't want to keep doing that, but her dad wants her to keep going because he thinks they've gone to far to quit.

The most important character is Miley because she is the main character.

The Bad Beggining

Dear Readers,


I am still reading the book: A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning. As I told you before that Count Oalf is a mean person and he lets the Baudelaire orphans do all chores and other things that children must not do. So right now in the story, the Baudelaire orphans went to see Mr. Poe because they don't want to stay in the Count's house so they went to where Mr. Poe works and told him everything bad that happened to them by The Count. Mr. Poe tells them that they need to adjust themselves by the house. When the Baudelaires heard that they went back home. But before they went home they visited Justice Strauss to get some books from her library. The Orphans went home and then read their book that they got. The next morning they woke up, rather than a note ( that tells them what chores to do) from Count Oalf they found Count Oalf himself !!! He was in the kitchen cooking oatmeal for them!!!!! " Good morning orphans" he said. " I've cooked oatmeal for you. I got a phone call yesterday from Mr. Poe that you guys went to his office and told him that I was not a good father!!!!!!
One of the main characters in the story is Count Oalf and along the story he changed to a evil person to a nice obedient father to the orphans. I wonder why he did that??? I think he might have another plan to ruin the children.....!!!!!

Read my next blog to find out what happens.......

Sincerely,
PT

Midnight Alley (third book out of The MorganVille Vampires)

Claire Danvers knows that her college town is run by vampires. She applied for a transfer and had stocked up on garlic, just in case she needed it, but the transfer is no longer an option, but the garlic may come in handy.



Now in Midnight Alley, Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, she is the most powerful vampire in the town, and the only one who can turn you into a vampire. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure those closest to Claire. But all of a sudden people are turning up dead in MorganVille, and an ancient bloodsucker extends an invitation for private lessons at his house, since Claire is really smart. Claire will soon discover--and it will give a terrifying new meaning to night school.



I am at the part where Claire just got home from a guy named Myrnin's house in the dark alley that everybody says not to go in, because you will not return. Myrnin is a guy who needs someone a little smarter than Claire to teach. You could call Myrnin a sick creepy guy. Shane was about to leave the house, but he didn't. He left because he wanted to help his dad kill vampires with a clean conscience. He ended up staying. Micheal just found out about Claire pledging herself to Amelie, which means Amelie can control Claire as in tell her what to do. Micheal is upset with Claire because she never talked to Micheal, Eve, or Shane about this. Claire decided to pledge herself to Amelie because if she didn't Amelie said something bad will happen to her friends. She must do everything Amelie says now. Amelie makes her go to night school, and the vampire teacher is crazy. He had to be locked up in a cage. People keep turning up dead either in the Glass House or in the backyard garbage cans.
I think that Monica has something to do with it.
A question of mine is Why does Monica want to hang out with Claire and be best friends with her even if she has tried to kill Claire?


Hope You enjoyed!
