  6. I am reading a book called Finally by Wendy Mass. It is about a girl named Rory who wants to get a phone and her parents said she could have a phone when she was 12th birthday. So Rory started to make a list when she was about seven about things that her parents said she could have when she was 12. The night before Rory turned 12, she cleaned all of the babyish stuff out of her room. The next morning when she woke up, Rory decided to have coffee when her mom and dad were not watching. She put a cup the coffee machine she twisted everything on it that she could twist or pull. The coffee started coming out all right, but after the cup was full, it kept on pouring!!! Rory finally put an other cup under and right as it reached the top of that cup it finally stopped pouring. Rory cleaned up the dripping coffee with a paper towel and then she drank BOTH cups of coffee!!!!!

  7. I just started Arnie the doughnut and the Bowling Alley Bandit. It is really good because it has a lot of humor in it. Arnie goes to the Bowling alley with Mr. Bing. Mr Bing plays on a bowling alley team called the bing bats. Every time Mr. Bing goes to the bowling alley he always uses the 13 pound bowling ball named Bruiser. I don't really want to spoil the rest of the book so I recommend this book to every buddy. I hope you read it

  11. I'm reading Brixton Brothers 4 Danger Goes Berserk and Who was King Tut. Who was King Tut is about King Tut's life and facts about ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt is really interesting. I learned lots of things.
    1. hieroglyphics was a mystery until a french man figured out the language after a lot of studying.
    2. hieroglyphics are normally pictures and one hieroglyphic can be lone word.
    3. in order to enter the under world, you have to weigh your heart. (remember the person who's weighing his heart is dead) If your heart is lighter than a feather then you may enter the under world. If the heart is heaver than a stone, then you roam the world forever as a spirit.
    4. King Tut was a pharaoh in Egypt.
    5. King Tut died when he was 18 or 19.
    6. King Tut's real name is Tutankhamen.
    I could go on and on but I have to stop here. See you tomorrow!

  15. I just finished a book called The Big Time. It was about a 12 year old boy named Troy. Troy's dad left Troy and his mom when Troy was very young. In this book, his dad comes back. And he is RICH! He is a lawyer for a famous rapper named G Money. G Money has a friend who is practically evil. Of course, Troy doesn't know that. Troy has a special gift that came to him as a baby that he can see football plays that the other team is going to run before they happen. Right now Troy is working for the Atlanta Falcons. Troy wants his dad to be his lawyer. So, Troy's dad becomes his lawyer. Troy's dad got him an amazing job with the New York Jets and Troy would get paid $5 million. Troy doesn't know that his dad was planning to steal his money. The reason why is because Troy's dad took a loan from one of G Money's friends and couldn't pay it back. If not, they would kill him. Troy found this out because of the FBI. Troy has a friend who is a security guard for Mr. Langan, the owner of the Falcons in the book, and the FBI was investigating Troy's dad and told Troy about what they had heard. I don't want to spoil the best part for you, so that is all I am going to say!

  16. WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! If you are going to read The Genius Files, then DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT READ THIS BLOG POST! I am at the part where they[ Coke and Pepsi ] are going cross country and finally get to the largest ball of twine in the world. The reason why they want to get so badly is because they've been recruited to a secret agency and it's their job to stop it. But when they get there, they see a man that they saw earlier at a landmark and he tells them there is another largest ball of twine in the world in Wisconsin, but there is no proof which one is bigger. Pepsi suddenly realized that they are at the wrong ball of twine in the world and only have seven hours to get there and that is how long it takes to get there. They had to leave fast! that's where I left off.

He doesn't know that his father is Poseidon the son of the seas. Poseidon is a Greek God. Percy thinks he has dyslexia but it is really that he can read Greek words because his father is a God. He has no idea that his father is a god. But his mom knows his father is a god.And is not allowed to tell Percy.He lives with his mother and a person called Gabe. Percy does not like Gabe. He goes to a school and his best friends name is Grover. Grover has crutches because he (paralyzed) at least what Percy thinks. Grover is really half goat half human. He is goat from the waist down. Percy's teacher name is Mr. Brunner and he is in a wheelchair. But he is actually half horse half human. One day his mom tells Percy they are going to a beach that they go to a lot. So they went and one stormy night they heard a knock on the door. The mom opened it and way Grover was standing in the doorway. Grover whispered, "its time to go" to his mother. Then the mother called Percy's name and they left and Percy wondered two things why is Grover here and where are they going.Then They got in the car and drove away...... You will have to read the book to find out the rest.

  18. I am reading Flying Beaver Brothers. In the beginning there are two beavers, one laying on the ground and one on a tree. The one in the tree in about to do a stunt. He jumps off the tree and pulls out his parachute and lands in the water. When he lands in the water he pulls out his surf board and suddenly a big wave comes and knocks him out of the water. He lands with his head in the sand! When he looks to the side his board is gone. Penguins took it!

  19. I am reading a book called Holes. There is a boy named Stanley, a perfectly fine one. But he remembers that they say that his great great great grandpa was cursed for stealing a pig. Now the curse has gotten him, and he's been put on a bus, chained to the seat and handcuffed for more than 8 hours on his way to camp Green Lake. Next, he met the head of the camp who just got off smoking and so he is very grouchy. Stanley was then given instructions of what to do, and then he goes to his tent and meets his counselor. His counselor is nice and said "your not bad you have just made a few mistakes in your life." Stanley has to be out in the sun all day with no air conditioning for 18 months. You hardly get any water, you think you can escape since there is no fence but there's a HUGE river and nobody can survive it. And all you do is dig holes 6 feet deep in every direction.

    P.S. I'm not very far in the book and I know I would not want to go to this camp.
