Ally-Radiance
I have read the book before and it is sad along the way. The book is a good recommendation to others.

Main Street-Welcome to Camden Falls

      The book that I am recommending is called Main Street-Welcome to Camden Falls by Ann M. Martin. The book is about two girls moving to Camden Falls, New York. Flora and Ruby don't want to go to Camden Falls but the have no choice-their parents are dead, and the grandmother, Min, is taking them in. It's strange to be starting again in a new place. Luckily Flora and Ruby find new friends as well.

      Olivia is the girl next door who likes to organize things. Nikki lives on the wrong side of town and doesn't want to be friends at first. But once their secrets are shared, friendship becomes easier. Flora and Ruby begin to stitch together their new lives in Camden Falls.

      This book has thrills, emotional, bad, and good things. In the story there is some shop lifting, false suspects, and a strong friend relationship that will grow bigger everyday.

     I am reading The Creature From My Closet by Obert Skye. It is an amazing book, it is about a boy who  stuffs everything in his closet. He stuffs books in his closet that his mom gives him too. One day his closet was knocking at him. And then he went to look at the closet a monster comes out. After a while he figured out that it was a monster up to his waste and that it wasn't scary. He thinks that it is mix between willi-wonka and frankenstien because he talks about candy, grunts a lot and he always says doctor. That is all so goodbye.

Goblet of Fire

I am going to read Goblet of Fire over the summer. (Yes Joy, I am going to read it.) It seems like a very long book and the beginning is very odd.

adavies- Radiance

That book sounds really good. Imagine having to go to school in your after life though! By the way, how did Riley, the girl die? Why did Riley have to go to school if she wasn't even alive though? THis book seems like it has lots of mystery and whimsy in it.

I strongly recommend Flawed Dogs, by Berkeley Breathed. It is packed full of small jokes and has amazingly comical but realistic pictures. It is about a pampered and flawless Dachshund named Sam the Lion who lives happily with his owner, Heidy, until disaster strikes. That disaster is called Cassius, a poodle. He makes it look like Sam took the baby, and Sam is hit by Uncle Hamish's rifle. This is all because of Cassius and the fact that Sam looked very, very, sick.

JoyJoy

heyJoy. how is the book Marley

I am reading a book called Radiance. It is about a girl named Riley. She died and went to a after life. in this book you just learn about how she lives in the after life.

I am reading Burned, one of the Hardy Boys books. It is about burning and copying illegal cd's.
I think this book is interesting when one of the characters Joe asks one of the kids who illegally burns cd's gets mad at him and challenges him to a dodge ball game. When they do right at the end he gets drilled in the stomach.

For all those people who like adventure....

I think you should read Jaguar Stones, Middleworld. It is about a lazy good for nothing boy who goes to Maya after his parents dissapere. With the help of Lola a fastalking Maya girl he discovers the ancient Maya are alive.

jack

i think that book would be a nice book for me to read.

I am currently in the middle of reading Marley, and it is a very funny book, anyone in need for a laugh will love it! It is about one dog, Marley's life and how it goes. He loves to chew, has a thunder phobia, and wields the deadly weapon called a tail, which he uses to whack everything below three feet up in the air. Despite the fact that most everything in their house is in shambles, his owners still love and keep him.

Why are you reading that book Greg

I also think you would like The Boxcar Children: The Yellow House Mystery. It of course is a mystery, but it has a lot of different twists and turns. Its book number 3 and has an AR test. The book has you so interested its hard to stop reading! I think anyone who likes a mystery would enjoy this book.

Olivia- Till Death do us bark

Olivia- is this a good book? Zit sounds VERY creepy.

Radiance

Right now I am reading a book called Radiance. It is about a girl named Riley who is dead. She went to an after life called Here and Now. She went for her first day of school. She had to go on a stage and talk about her life on earth. The people running this said that they did this because they want to find the right spot for her. They said her spot was as a soul catcher. That is where you try to get the dead people who are still on earths plane to come to the after life or Here and Now.

I like the book called The Secret Of Pirates Hill becuase it is filled with adventure

I am read White Fang, by Jack London. It is an amazing book and I recommend it to everyone, wolf-lovers and non alike! It is so vivid that I was surprised! I saw it in the library, with an old scratched cover, and I knew that usually people skip right past those old "classic" ones. I sure am glad that i picked it up! It is about a wolf born in the merciless Wild, and as he tries to survive he meets some Native Americans who give him a name- White Fang. In my opinion, this was the greatest book ever!

Till Death Do Us Bark

It is the 3rd book to the 43 old cemetary road books also known as dying to meet you. It is about how they find a dog and want to keep it. I love these books because they are all just letters and i think they are amazing and interesting!

I have too Donovan

I have read the whole series. I couldn't believe that Silinia was Kronos's spy. I'm proud that Luke sacrificed himself to save the Olympians.

My book is about a girl that get's kidnapped. Theodore is trying to find the person that abducted her. The police suspect a mad man named Jack Leeper. Will Jack Leeper kill April or will Theo rescue her in time?

donovan

Donovan- How is the book Artemis Fowl. I might read it over the summer. I have heard many people like it. Will you tell me about it?

So any good survival books you guys recomend.

I am reading The Westing Game. I think it is a amazing book. It has adventure and a lot of action! It is written by Ellen Raskin.

I am reading the first Maximum Ride by James Patterson.  Ally recommended it to me.  It is a violent book about a girl named Max.  She and her siblings have special powers.  In some parts of this book, I want to cry and in some parts I feel like I'm in the story.  There are 7 books in this series.  In this book, one of the girls, the youngest one, gets captured and taken to a science lab.  Max and the rest must rescue her.

Adrian how is the book?

Right now I am reading Danny the Champion of World It is a very good book because it is realistic. Danny faces many life challenges. his father lives and works at a gastation and teaches him about mechanics and engineering.

Right now i am reading N.F.L. Records by a author named Kelley. I like and also want other people to read this book because the football fans would really enjoy this book because it gives a lot of records and a little information about the N.F.L. players.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

A while ago I finished Percy Jackson and the Lightning thief. The first book of the Percy Jackson series. Percy finds out the gods of Olympus are real and that some suspect that he stole Zeus's master bolt. While Percy is going to camp-half blood with his mom while the Minotaur chases him. His mother disappears and he has 10days to find and return the master bolt and try to find his mom.

The book I believe you would enjoy is, Dying to Meet You. The book is about an 11 year old boy that is alone in a mansion because his parents left him because he believed in ghosts. The boys best friend is a ghost, the book is about this one guy that rents the house for the summer and there adventure together. There are other books in the series! It is a very good book and I think you would enjoy it!

I am reading an awesome book called Theodore Boone: The Abduction. It is amazing you guys should read it.

You Can't Come in Here

I just finished the book You Can't Come in Here. It was very interesting but not as scary as I hoped. It was about a girl who has these friends that are home schooled and tell lies to protect who they really are. One night at a sleepover the 2 friends reveal who they really are

Victoria that is such an exiting book. I read the whole series

Right now I am reading Artemis Fowl. It is such an exiting book!!!
