One book was called The Universe of the Four Gods. They opened it then and started to read it. Then a flash of bright red light showed, then Miaka and Yui got sucked into the book.

My favorite writer

Stephen King is my favorite writer. He wrights books that are about 1000 pages. His dark tower series is a good series. I think that more mature kids shood read it, but it is the best series I've ever read. There are 6-7 books in the dark tower series.

Mallory vs. Max

This is about a book called Mallory vs. Max. In the book, there are two brothers and sisters who don't agree with each other.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved cats, but hated dogs. One day her brother came home with something really noisy and she looked out the window with her cat to see what that annoying thing was, then standing right beside her brother was a hairy dog. She looked very grumpy at her brother but her brother didn't care he thought if his sister could have a pet he could have a pet.

Laughing Time

I like a book called Laughing Time. It is a book of nonsense poems. The poems are by William Jay Smith. I decided to let you see some of the poems.

Big and little

Big boys do, little boys don't.

Big boys will, little boys won't.

Big boys can, little boys can't.

Big boys shall, little boys shan't.

But when little boys are as big as you,

Then turn it around and it is true:

Big boys don't, little boys do.

If you liked that one, you are going to love this one.

Why

Why do apricots look like eggs?
Why?
Why do sofas have four legs?

Marta

In Esperanza Rising, Marta told the farmworkers who lived at the labor camp that they deserved better living conditions, and that they should join the labor strike by refusing to work. Many of the workers yelled at her and told her that they needed the jobs, and they did not want to do anything that might cause them to get fired.

Is Marta a trouble-maker, like some of them say? Or is she a hero who is trying to help the people?

Never Held a Broom

When we read today in Esperanza Rising that "she never held a broom" I wondered what other things Esperanza might not know how to do. I can't imagine being a person who didn't know how to do any work at all. Both of my parents worked. They had jobs, but my mom was home with me when I was very young. She did housework, though. My dad fixed things and made things. I learned to work from them. I tried to use the tools that they used. I played in the kitchen with the pots and pans. I pushed the vacuum cleaner around. I played in the garage with my dad's tools. I certainly remember holding a broom. I think we learn a lot when we're kids from watching our parents.

Phantom Stallion Kidnapped Colt.

Phantom Stallion-Case of the Kidnapped Colt.

Samantha is a counselor for H.A.R.P.P.Horse And Rider Protection Program she and 4 other girls named Mikki, Jeana, Brynna and Nora make up the program called H.A.R.P.P.

I LOVE horses and I think the author did a great job writing this book.

The Little house in the Big Woods

By Laura Ingalls Wilder

The main characters in this book are Ma, Pa, Laura, Mary, and Baby Carrie. Ma likes to knit. Pa likes to hunt, play the fiddle and tell stories to Laura and Mary. Mary and Laura like to play with their raggedy dolls and listen to stories from Pa. Baby Carrie isn’t in the story a lot. I thought that the author did a good job about telling her childhood.

The place where it took place was in the Wisconsin woods. If you like books that are non-fiction, fiction, and history books, the best thing in the book that I thought were the chapter The Two Big Bears. It is about a tree that looks a bear. Then Pa grabs a club and hits it. Then he noticed it was a tree.

The Boys Start The War

The book I'm reading is called, The Boys Start The War. The Author is Phillis Reynolds Naylor. There are more than just one character. The characters are the Hatford brothers, Josh, Jake, Peter, and Wally. Also the Malloy sisters, Caroline, Beth, and Eddie.

The problem is that there were four Hatford brothers. They had friends living across the street, "The Bensons". But then the three Malloy girls moved in to where the Bensons were living because the Bensons moved out.

Now the Hatford brothers have to deal with three girls instead of playing with boys. One day the boys had to give the girls a cake because that's what their mom said they had to do to welcome the new neighbors. But when they got to the bridge, the girls were at the other end. Wally gave them the cake, but the girls didn't believe him so Caroline took the cake and threw it over the bridge into the river.

By The Shores of Silver Lakes

By the Shores of Silver Lake is written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Laura and her family is going to move to Dakota Territory. They are going to take a train but Laura is scared to take the train because she heard bad stories about the train.

The characters are Laura,Carrie, Pa and Ma. They all are a family. They live in a small house.

The main character is Laura because she is scared of trains.

The problem in this story is Laura is scared to get on a train. But she had no choice. She had to because her family is going to move on a train too.

I like when she got to the Territory. They got scared on the train because she like it when she got use to it.

Ali Baba

I think lots of people should read Hurray For Ali Baba Bernsten. The main character is Ali Baba. His real name is David, but there was 4 Davids in his class, so he changed his name to Ali Baba.

I think the author is a good author. He is really good. In one of the chapters Ali Baba meets Santa Claus and has hot chocolate with him.

My favorite part was the last chapter when they lose circus tickets and they have to run all over town. It was like back and forth, go here go there. At the end they found the tickets at a lady's house. It took then a long time to find them. It was almost time for it to be started.

Polar Bears Past Bedtime

The book I read is called Polar Bears Past Bedtime by Mary Pope Osborne.

Main characters are Jack and Annie. Jack and Annie are two kids that found a magic tree house. In this book they are trying to solve a riddle.

Major Problems are all over this book. First they get stuck in a very cold place with only their pajamas on. Brrrrr! Then they get stuck in a frozen ocean. They are in the Arctic. Seal hunters wear sealskin to stay warm. That is cold.

Hurray for Ali Baba Bernstein

Hurray for Ali Baba Bernstein is a book written by Johanna Hurwitz. This is the first book I have read by her. And so far I think that she is good.

The main characters in this book are Ali Baba, whose real name is David Bernstein, his mother Mrs. Bernstein, and a girl named Natalie who has a crush on him.

The major problem in this book is at the beginning. The problem is that Ali Baba's teacher named Mrs. Melrose reminded the class all week that they are going to the library on Friday and on Friday he left his card at home. He didn't know he did because he keeps it in his plastic case were he keeps his bus pass. He barley noticed that it was missing because he was on the bus and when he got off he noticed. So he asked Natalie, the girl who likes him, if he could borrow her card. She said sure, so Ali Baba asked for it and she said that she thought he meant later in the afternoon.

Little House in the Big Woods

The book I read was Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The main character is Laura. She is a young girl who lives in big woods in Wisconsin with Ma, Pa, Mary, baby Carrie and their old dog Jack.

Laura is not the youngest. She is the middle child, and she hates when her older sister Mary acts better than her. She also hates when Mary shows off, too. In the story Laura smacks Mary in the face because she was showing off.

My favorite chapter is Deer in the Wood. I love that chapter because it tells just about 1 person. In that chapter Pa was the main character. I liked how Pa did not shoot a deer when he had to. That was nice to spare a deer's life. That shows he loves nature.

The Time Warp Trio: Knights of the Kitchen Table

I really liked the book The Time Warp Trio Knights of the Kitchen Table by Jon Scieszka. I like the part in the book when the 3 boys meet a knight. Before the 3 boys meet the knight they get sent to the 18 hundreds.

The main characters is the 3 boys. The boys are the main characters because in the whole book the author is always talking about them. Jon Scieszka talks about them in every chapter. One of the boy’s name is Fred and one is named Sam. The author didn’t tell what the other boy’s name is. So I can’t tell you what his name is.

The only part in the book I didn’t like is that the author didn’t tell what the other boy’s name.
