He was sitting in his truck and listening to the radio, enjoying his break. Then he noticed the same old black truck from the highway was now parked across the street. Josh figured he seen too many movies. In real life, people did not follow other people. He shock his head and tried to not think about it. But his eyes still wandered towards the truck from time to time. The shadow fo an outline of a person filled the cab of the truck, but Josh could not see the persons face. | Josh was sent out to go get supplies for his dad. So hes sitting in his dad's truck listing to the radio. Then he keeps seeing this old black truck. He feels like its following him. He's starting to feel a little nervous. But he thinks to him self i've watched too many movies. He tries not to look at it but he can help his self not to. I think the truck is following him because of the hat. He bought there was this map in it thats when he hared later that day that the map is worth like 33,000 dollars because its a real treasure map. I think the guy that sold the hat to him wants it back so that’s why I think he is being followed by him. | 10 | I think the kind of person that would like this book would be a person that likes adventure. Theres a lot of going out side and in to caves. Solving puzzels there a bunch of solving problems and looking at paintings for clues. Self vs society hes going against a person trying to get the map back from him. And self vs nature and theres a lot of going out side and stuff josh likes to go out in nature a lot. |

Tad led the way down the small hallway to the locked door at the end. Knock knock he said unlocking the door. He pushed it open and had to duck a little to enter. Kayla was in her sleeping bag on the floor. It looked like she was still sleeping after all. Wake up Kala May said laughing. I went over to her and kneeled down to give her shoulder a light shake. Wake up Kala. You passed the dare I said She's hard to wake up, Tad said. He gave her foot a little kick. Wake up Kala it's morning. My eyes opened wide and she covered her mouth. The guy she said is Kayla... dead. | My Version Four kids are in a club together; they dare each other to do stuff if they don't do it there, kicked out of the club. Kayla had a dare that she had to spend the night at the abandoned house up one the third floor. She did what she was told if she didn't she kicked out of the club. They locked her in the room so if she got scared she couldn't run off and not do the dare. The rest of the kids go home and go to sleep they come back to the abandoned house. Go up stares open the door she's still sleeping that's what they think so there trying to wake her up. May thot she was dead so she called the ambulance to see if something happen to her they said it was poison. | 10 | Opinion I think the kind of person that would like this book would have to like mysteries. The mystery is who did it that make the book hock on to readers because that makes the reader want to know who it is problem solving the problem is that kayla got poisoned. And how to see if its a poison that could kill her or not. |

The blow had hit her forehead, but the damage had happened when her brain bounced off the back of her skull. The doctors said that her brain hit the back of her head and caused injury to her. Even three years later , Cheyenne still remembered snippets of what the doctors had said standing over her hospital bed. Her dad had sat by her and cried. Cheyenne had had a tube down her throat, so she couldn't talk.There were more tube in her nose and arms. She had kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep while they explained what the injuries were and what they meant. Cheyenne remembers what the doctors said three years ago when she was in the hospital. Cheyenne’s dad sat by her and cried because she had tubes going down her throat and even more in her arms. She kept her eyes closed because she was trying to act like she was asleep when the doctors were telling her dad what was going on. “Occipital lobe injury.’’ “Damage to the visual cortex.’’ “Wiped out the vascular system in the back of the brain. A brain injury, blindness, and blood flow in the back of the brain were all damaged. Cheyenne had a brain injury that left her blind from an accident. I think that Cheyenne was in a car accident that caused all of this. | I think it happened because Cheyenne got in a car accident and something hit her in the back of the head and she got brain injury and she was blind because something hit her in the back of the head. Cheyenne was in the hospital and she was faking asleep and she heard what the doctors said to her dad was going one but i think that happened because if she wanted to find out what was going on so she had to fake asleep because the doctors would not tell her and her dad would not tell her either. I think why she wanted to fake sleep so she knew what was going on because no one would tell her because it would make her sad so they didn't want her to be sad and they didn't want her to cry. I think how she got hit hard was because she could not have her seatbelt on or she was playing around in the car where she was traded the wrong way that she got hurt more because she was traded the wrong way. | 8 | The person that would like to read this book is a person that is interested in a person getting in a car accident and Cheyenne got a brain injury and she got blinded because of how bad the accident was. You would need to be in action and mystery. You would like this book because it keeps you interested and keeps reading it. |

When it flared up, it caught Griffins shirt on fire.A mouth in the burn until followed. In his nightmares, the nurses in their blue plastic gowns and rubber gloves were wheeling him to the debridement room to scrub off his dead flesh with wire-bristle brushes When he was ten Griffin started and his dad was cooking out in there barn but they had meth not no food. It also caught Griffin's shirt on fire. Another mouth later in the burn until followed in his dreams.The nurses in their blue gowns and rubber gloves were wheeling. While he was in the hospital, his parents fought over what had happened. Roy shoved his mom, and Janie fell and didn't get up. He claimed to have thought she was dead drunk, at least until the next morning. By that point she was simply dead. He had buried her out back. After the truth came out six months ago, the authorities had dug his mom up and then conducted an autopsy on what was left of her remains. None of her bones,including her skull, were broken. Without a clear cause of death, they decided it was too hard to prosecute Roy, even as they went after him for Cheyenne's kidnapping. When he was in the hospital, his mom and dad fought over what actually happened. Roy claimed to had thought that she was a dead drunk. After the real truth came out like six months later.Roy even went after him for abducting cheyenne. | I think the reason why the boys shirt got on fire is because he was cooking meth instead of food. I think this also happened because he was too close to the fire. I think it also happened because they caught something on fire in their born. | 8 | The person that would like this book is because they would like mystery and action. They would like these things because the book is a big mystery. You would need to be a person that would be a good reader because it is confusing at the being. |

8 | 3/11/2020 10:26:18 | 601 | Kelton | Bennington | The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind | 2/19/2020 | 3/5/2020 | While the rest of Malawi went hungry during December and January, we’d be picking our second crop of maize. The pump could also allow my mother a year-round garden to grow things like potatoes, mustard greens, and soy beans-both to eat and sell at the market. I began to get excited. “No more skipping breakfast, Gilbert. No more dropping out of school”. With a windmill, we’d finally release ourselves from the troubles of darkness and hunger. A Windmill meant more than just power. It was freedom. I was so excited about what the windmill would allow us to do. It would give power to the water pump so we could grow crops and vegetables. We would be able to avoid the famine. I would no longer have to skip meals and I would have enough money so I could continue to go to school. The windmill would allow us to forget our troubles and free us from hunger. It was much more than just an invention, it was freedom. | The book that I read was called The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind. I had a lot of many different inferences in this book and here is one of them. When William wanted to build a windmill I thought his family was going to stop him from building the windmill. I thought his family was going to say it’s a waste of time and that he needs to help his dad in the fields. When William was working on the windmill his family only got mad at him when he made a mess and when his dad caught him building it and his dad would make him work in the fields. His dad also made him go hunt and get their family a meal instead of making the windmill. In the end Williams dad was really happy that William made the windmill to help the family. | 10 | The book that I just finished was called The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind. I think many people would enjoy this book, but probably a person who likes to read about inventing stuff like the windmill that William made and a person who likes to read about history. I think that because William was able to make a windmill out of items found from the junk yard I think it was amazing! |

The screeching of claws against metal filled the air. Sarah found herself in between everyone. The lions silvery head lifted over the back of the jeep getting a grip on the bumper with its claws. It’s silvery whiskers twitched as it smelled the air above Sarah, and then it looked down on Sarah showing its teeth. It was the teeth that terrified Sarah the most. Someone grabbed Sarah right as the lion pounced. Then she saw Sam’s face as he helped her out of the lions reach. Sarah slid into the driver’s seat, and started turning the key aggressively. Sarah didn’t realize she was apologizing to the lion out loud until Sam yelled at her to stop. They started running away from the lion. Sarah struggled to keep up with the others. But she still ran holding her mom's shotgun close to her chest. Joey took the lead. He was fast but not fast enough to outrun a lion. | When the lion attacked them. I think it happened because the metalcium infected its brain. Then it couldn't control what it did. | 10 | I strongly recommend this book if you like adventure. |
11 | 3/12/2020 9:51:50 | 601 | Gabriel | Beyer | Vitro | 3/11/2020 | 3/12/2020 | Original paragraphs The guards had almost passed them by when the wind caught the black ball cap on the third man's head and whisked it off. He turned to grab it, and it blew into the bush behind which Jim and Lux were crouched. Jim had milliseconds to make a move;he could stay put and hope the man didn’t spot them, or he could start running now in hopes of putting as much space between them and the guards before they could start firing. He hesitated too long. The guard plucked his hat from the branches and then shouted when he saw Jim. He grabbed her hand and sprinted into the trees,away from the guards and the resort. The thickness of the foliage made running difficult; he kept snagging his foot on vines and rocks and barely avoided smashing face-first into palms. He glanced back and saw the guards following; they zigzagged through the trees,which, at least, prevented them from getting a shot at Jim or Lux. | Inference I think it happened because Lux was one of the experiments at the resort. The guards were trying to get her back. | 10 | Someone who loves realistic fiction. This seems very realistic. |
12 | 3/12/2020 10:09:33 | 601 | Gabriel | Beyer | Kalahari | 2/25/2020 | 3/6/2020 | Screams erupted behind me. Everyone fell backward as the lion’s claws seized the top of Hank's tailgate. The screech of claws tearing through metal seared the air. I found myself tangled in everyone else and slipped, ending up wedged between the backseat and tailgate. The lions head lifted over the back of the truck as its rear paws found purchase on the bumper. Its fine, silvery whiskers twitched as it sniffed the air above me, and then it looked down and bared its fangs--shockingly, they were yellowish-white, normal teeth. So I ran, clutching my moms shotgun to my chest and feeling like a soldier fleeing from a battle. Joey took the lead. He was fast. Not fast enough to outrun a lion, but that bullet had slowed it down. Sam had pulled me away before. | When the lion attacked them. I think that happened because the metalcium infected its brain. Then it couldn't control what it did. | 10 | I strongly recommend this book if you like adventure kind of books. |

14 | 3/4/2020 10:26:32 | 601 | isaac | conkel | Vietnam I pledge allegiance | 1/27/2020 | 2/26/2020 | From a passage in Vietnam I pledge allegiance Chapter 12 life and death. Every time I think I have experience to make some sense of all this I am shocked all over again. I thought I knew war and shooting and danger and adventure, but no, I didn’t, and I don’t. See, there is a big fat difference between being taught to shoot at targets in training and doing the real thing in action.There is a difference between being told about injury and death and fear and all the well-known nonsense of battle,and feeling it. Every moment I consider I possess involvement in building up some feeling of all this I am disturbed all the same. I suppose I knew warfare and firing guns and peril and experiencing escapade, but no, I did not, and I do not. You see, there is a humongous distinction in contrast to being shown how to fire a weapon at training and at targets in training and actually executing that action in real warfare. There is a dissimilarity between being informed about casualties and injuries and horror and all the well-educated ill sense of warfare and experiencing it yourself. From a passage in Vietnam I pledge allegiance Chapter 15 blue water no more. Moses was right: this is a floating tank we are looking at as we stand waiting to be welcomed aboard. But what Moses didn’t realize was this is also a beast. A growling, snarling, howling, grinning, booming fire-breathing sea monster. It’s known as the battleship of the river force because it’s designed to provide heavy-duty support to our Army brothers in the thickest of battles along the banks and some ways inland. Moses was correct: this is a floating tank we're glancing upon as we stand waiting to be initiated on the ship and to be welcomed as new sailors. But what Moses did not notice was this is also a monster. A Barking, growling, hollering, smirking, thundering flame-breathing sea monster. Its known as the battleship of the stream squadron because it was designed to send excruciating support to our Army kin in the most abundant of skirmishes along the banks and a long way inland. From a passage in Vietnam I pledge allegiance Chapter Vaseline Gasoline “Here it comes gentlemen” Cap roars. My hands on my machine gun are trembling as much now as they will be when I start firing. Moses has been granted his wish. His new baby’s picture tucked into his breast pocket, he is nestled in at his flamethrower. He turns up towards me, points sharply, then swings around to take on all corners. And holy, holy, holy, there they are. “Here it comes gentlemen” Cap bellows. My hands on my automatic rifle are trembling as much as they will be when I'm firing the rifle. Moses has been given his longing. His new child picture inserted in his breast pocket, he is settled at his flamethrower. He turns upwards at me, points sharply, then turns around to take on the enemy. And goodness, goodness, goodness, there they are | I think Morris our one of his friends will get killed or seriously injured. The reason is that the fifth book is called wounded soldier. Also two of Morris's new friends in the Navy are dead and one of the friends is bound to be going on that trail. Also I think that at one point in the book they will all be fighting together in some battle. Because in the final chapter of the first book Morris can swear he saw Ivan sniping Vietcong. | 10 | The person who would like this book is a history buff. The reason I say that is you have to know the four friends are going to Vietnam to fight or you will be wondering if this war actually happened. The second reason is you have to know what types of weapons they are using. If you don't you will end up looking up every type of weapon and they might not know how to pronounce that certain gun. My final reason is .You have to deal with gore because in one part a guy almost gets his arm shot off. But if you like war books you would really like this one |
15 | 3/3/2020 14:02:15 | 601 | Myer | Conley | Creep | 2/8/2020 | 2/24/2020 | Candlelight illuminated it so that the paper glowed behind the stark black writing. The contrast made it easy to read: ‘I am the Sentry of Glennon Heights. Long ago, I claimed 16 Olcott Place as levy for my guardianship. The walls will not tolerate your trespass. The ceilings will bleed and the windows will shatter. If you do not cease your intrusion, the rooms will smell of corpses.’ I scanned the paper quickly, believing I must have misread something. But the words stayed the same, even as the family around the table began dissolving into accusations and bewilderment. The light from the candle made the paper light up from behind the dark black writing. The difference made the letter easier to read. ‘This is the Sentry of Glennon Heights. Far back I declared 16 Olcott Place as charge for my custody. The walls are not going to accept your trespass. The ceilings will begin to bleed and windows will smash. If you don’t stop your invasion’ the smell of death will be in the rooms.’ I skimmed the letter fast’ convincing myself that I misread it. But the words never changed, even when the family began to accuse along with confusion. ‘Heed my warnings. I am the Sentry. Blood will seep from the ceilings of 16 Olcott Place. Trespassers will be punished. Have you lifted up the floorboards yet? Have you discovered what the house is hiding?’ Involuntarily, my eyes lifted to the ceiling. “No blood yet.” Janie commented dully. I shoved the card back into the envelope, trying to be careful but also rushing to hide the awful message as quickly as possible. The whole house looked eerie now. Afternoon shadows threw wide swaths of darkness over the living room. I heard creaking above us and even though I knew it must be Ben or Lucy moving around upstairs, I fought the urge to run. Notice my warnings. This is the Sentry. The blood will ooze out of the ceilings of 16 Olcott Place. Invaders shall be punished. Have you looked beneath the floorboards? Have you uncovered the secrets the house hides?’ “Nothing yet.” Janie stated dimly. I pushed the letter into its envelope trying to be gentle but also trying to quickly hide the horrible message as fast as possible. The entire house now looks so creepy. Shadows now cover parts of the living room in darkness. Even though I know Ben and Lucy are moving and creaking upstairs, I resist the fighting urge to run. ‘Who are you, invader? I keep watch. I see the lights turn on, then off. I know when you are sleeping, when the children are not sleeping. Beneath the floorboards are bones. I hear them singing from the road. When you walk know there are bones beneath your feet. Soon your bones will join them.’ I felt cold all over again, the same way I couldn’t get warm the night before, waiting for the word the Donahues were safe. I pull my comforter off my bed and wrapped it around myself. “ You don’t think this is worse than the earlier letters?” ‘Who might you be, raider. I always watch, I can see when you turn on and off the lights. I know when you are all sleeping, and when you are not. Bone are under the floorboards. I can hear them from the road, singing. Just know when you walk, beneath your feet, there are bones. Soon you can join the bones.’ I was feeling cold all over again, just like when I could not get warm that other night, waiting to know if the Donahues were going to be safe. I yanked the comforter off my bed and covered myself in it. “Do you think that this could possibly be even worse than the other letters?” | In the rewrote paragraphs I did the major event in all three was how the Sentry was wanting the Donahues to leave 16 Olcott Place. I infer that the Sentry wants the Donahues to leave 16 Olcott Place because the Sentry has a deep connection to the house. Throughout the book the main characters discovered clues to who the Sentry is. In all the clues it has something to do with the Sentry and their relation to the house. Plus the Sentry has secret pathways and hideouts in the house which ties to their relation. That is my inference on the major event in the paragraphs. | 9 | I think the kind of person that would like this book are people who like mysteries. Throughout the book the main characters are like detectives, plus it mentions Nancy Drew. The book is focused on a big mystery and a crime that “was” a mystery. Plus the book gives side stories and mysteries that can be solved. That is what kind of person or people that would like my book. |
16 | 3/11/2020 10:24:44 | 601 | Myer | Conley | The Fear Zone | 2/25/2020 | 2/28/2020 | Honestly, I have no idea what the note is, and I don’t want Andres to be the first to find out. Maybe it’s a friend telling me about a last-minute Halloween party. Or maybe it’s from my archnemesis, Caroline, telling me I look ugly in my black cat costume. It wouldn't surprise me. She’s gone from good friend to enemy ever since last year. I feebly snatch at the paper one more time, but Andres dances back a step. The page is almost entirely unfolded now. He reads it to himself. His smile slips. “What is this?” he asks “some sort of joke?” He turns the paper over, and I read what’s written in messy paint on the other side. ‘MEET IN THE GRAVEYARD. TONIGHT. MIDNIGHT. OR ELSE.’ “Huh?” I ask. I grab for the paper again. This time he lets me have it. “Who wrote this?”#1 Freddy isn’t here. “Freddy?” I call out. I stand in my doorway and look around. At my unmade bed. At my pile of blankets Andres slept in the other night. At the closed closet door. Wait. I thought I’d opened that before leaving. Just to make sure there wasn’t anything lingering inside. Just because, in the light of day, it didn’t seem as scary. Now I stare at the door and fear hammers in my chest. It could be hiding anything. “Freddy?” I ask again, much quieter this time. No answer.#2 We pass by the flagpole, and I notice two boys standing there, huddled together, looking at something. “What do you think it means?” I hear one of them ask. I don’t know their names. They must be fifth graders. “I don’t know,” the other says. “Do you think we should do it?” I glance at what they hold. A piece of orange paper. I can’t read the writing, but I know the font. Despite the warmth of the sun and my friends, my heart goes cold. “Why not?” I hear the first one say. “It’s just the graveyard.” He looks at me and lowers his voice before telling his friend: “There’s nothing to be afraid of.”#3 To be completely honest, I have got no clue what the note is, and I do not want the first to find out to be Andres. It could be a Halloween party a friend is talking about. Or it could be a note saying I look stupid in this black cat costume from my worst enemy, Caroline. It wouldn’t be surprising. She was a good friend then archnemesis since last year. I try to grab the paper for the last time but Andres jumps back. The paper is almost fully open. He reads it over to himself. His smile fades. “What’s this?” he questions. “Some kinda joke?” He flips it around, and I begin to read the sloppy writing. ‘LET’S MEET IN THE GRAVEYARD. AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.’ “What?” I asked. I reached to get the note again. He let me have it this time. “Do you know who wrote this?”#1 Freddy wasn’t in my room. “Freddy you there?” I asked. I’m now standing in the doorway to my room and I begin to look around. I look to my messy bed. Then to a pile of my blankets where Andres slept last night. To my closed closet door. Wait a second. I swear that I had opened it to make sure that there was nothing inside. I did it because it seemed less scary in daylight. Right now I look intensely at the closet door, fear building up inside me. There could be anything hiding in there. “Freddy, are you there?” I asked once more, a lot more quieter this time. But there was no answer.#2 As we are passing the flagpole, I spot two boys just standing there, bunched up, staring at something. “Do you have any idea what this means?” I overheard one say. I don’t recognize them. They are probably fifth graders. “I have no clue.” The other boy says. “Should we go with it?” I peek at what they are holding. It’s a piece of orange paper. I can’t make out the writing. But I had recognized the font. Besides the heat I’m getting from the sun and friends, my heart began to grow cold. “Sure, why not?” The first boy speaks. “It will just be the graveyard.” He glances at me, then speaks to his friend in a low voice: “There will be nothing to be scared about.”#3 | In one of my paragraphs I rewrote that one of the main characters spot two boys with the same note she got from the creepy clown. I infer that the clown gets out through the notes. Towards the end of the book the main characters “defeat” the clown by burying it in the graveyard. Then at the end of the book two boys get a note exactly like the others telling them to go to the graveyard. So I think the clown can come back do to it telling kids to dig up its grave, or else. In conclusion, the creepy clown can come back to life by using notes so that it can feed on people’s fear. That is my inference on this paragraph. | 9 | I think the kind of person that would like this book is someone who likes suspense. The book is full of suspense from worst enemy friendship to creepy killer clowns. The book makes you want to keep reading because of the surprising suspense the book gives. The book finds new ways to pump up the suspense with every chapter. That is the kind of person I think would like this book. |

20 | 3/11/2020 10:31:03 | 601 | Emily | Danner | Lucky In Love | 2/8/2020 | 3/8/2020 | You don't think they will all know Carroll asked frowning. I shrugged. I'd just like to do the telling when I can. She did the locking motion on her lips. Consider my lips sealed. A large envelope waited on my desk when I got home from school. The return address read San Diego state. My heart thumped wildly in my chest. All my countless hours of preparation led to this. I carefully opened the flap and slid out stapled papers. The boy wound through the chair ropes and then pushed through the turnstile and then ran up and down the length of the train looking for the perfect seat. On his second pass Seth smiled and the mom shocked her head. Do all kids do this. | They are on a train the little boy can not stop moving. He has to find the perfect seat to sit in. He likes to run on the train while it's moving. He must be having fun because he and Seth just smiled at each other. Seth must have done that when he was a kid too. I think she has waited so long for this that she is not so excited for it. I think it has something to do with a job or college. It must be something really important to her because her heart thumped. I think that she doesn't want everyone to know about something . I also think it's a good idea that she doesn't want everyone to know about something. She could get bullied for it because it seems kinda private to her. | 10 | The kind of person that would like this book is someone that is into love stories. It does have lots of romance stuff in it but is still a really good book. There is also some drama because of relationships. If you read this book hope you like it. |

22 | 3/5/2020 10:25:10 | 601 | Camden | Ebert | New Kid | 2/28/2020 | 3/4/2020 | Drew wound up and in it came. Tommy saw the spin--he could do that, see it--exactly the curve ball he expected. He swung. CRACK. Tommy didn’t even drop his bat, But let it swing alongside as he took a slow, tentative step down the first base line. The ball was gone, but was it fair? It was close, and the umpire paused for a moment, deciding what he had or hadn’t seen, before he shouted “foul ball!” and pointed his finger toward the stands. The deflated feeling such a near-hit only increased the tension of the situation. That’s when Tommy felt a strong hand grasp his shoulder. He turned and blinked and stuttered when he saw his father. “ Tommy, come on. We’re going. “Now.” Tommy goes to the plate ready to hit a home run for his team. So they can win the championship. Tommy is very nervous. Tommy hit the baseball really hard. He watches it and he thinks it’s going to be fair. But then the umpire calls it foul. Then his dad takes him off the field. Brock staggered and reached for the fence, this time in a daze nothing close to fanatic. He pawed at the pointed tops, securing one on either side of the blanket again, then got his foothold, this time pushing his body straight up until his other foot caught the middle support in the fence’s frame. With the blanket now chest high, he slowly leaned into it, cautious and worried that another point might snap again under his weight. As he swung his opposite leg up to clear the blanket, something grabbed hold and yanked at him, back to the dirt inside the fence. His ears still rang and he was too stunned to gush with panic. Instead, a slow, heavy dread speeded into his body and mind as he looked up and saw Coach Hudgens. Brock and his friend went to Coach Hudgens house to do some bad things. Brock and his friend tried to hop their fence but Brock got caught on it. Brock then felt something touch him and his friend wasn’t there to save him. Brock turned around and saw Coach Hudgens. Brock was caught by Coach Hudgens. “Are you going to call the police?” Brock felt bad for the crazy coach, but he had his own life to worry about. “ You boys' '. Coach's wife frowned and beneath the wrinkles of her face Brock realized she had once been a pretty woman, before her brown hair had begun to fade to gray. “Torturing” cats. Blowing up frogs with firecrackers. You’re sick. Mason wasn’t like that. Coach's wife looked out the window into the night and she sniffed. “ He was different”. Maybe that’s why he’s gone. Maybe”. Brock was beginning to think that he might have an angle. “ He was our son. Coach’s wife was disappointed in Brock. Brock felt bad for the things he did and he was scared because he thought he was going to get in trouble. The Coach’s wife was telling Brock about this Mason kid and how he was a good kid. Then Brock asked who Mason was and she told him that he was there son. Then Brock felt really bad for asking that question. | My first paragraph was about Tommy going up to bat to hit a home run for his championship game. Tommy hit the ball fair but it was foul. Then his father took him off the field and was super angry. Well I think his dad took him off the field because the umpire called the ball foul but Tommy’s dad thought it was fair. | 10 | I gave this book a good rating because it’s an amazing book. The book has extremely good details and it is very well worded. It is also about baseball and I love baseball. This book is also written by Tim Green. Tim Green is a really good author and he writes about a lot of sports and love sports |

26 | 3/3/2020 14:04:21 | 601 | Viki | Guilfoyle | Creep | 1/26/2020 | 2/7/2020 | Janie slid a thick card, and as she read it, her expression transformed from curiosity to confusion then to distressed. This time when Janie asked, “What is this?” there was a different edge to her voice: fear. She dropped the card onto the table, face down. Janie got a card and started reading it. Everyone was looking at her facial expressions. She got scared and put the card face down on the table. Janie pulled out her phone to show me a picture. Black ink, creamy background. Who are you invader? I keep watch- I see the lights turn on then off. I know when you are sleeping, when the children are not sleeping. Beneath the floorboards are bones. I hear them singing from the road. When you walk, know there are bones beneath your feet. Soon your bones will join them. Janie got another card threat that was on her phone. The card said a lot of weird things about bones. And how Janie walks on bones, and how someone can hear them singing from the road. Also how Janie's bones would be part of them one day soon. Janie smiled like this was the greatest adventure oshed ever embarked on. She walked to the window and pointed across the street at the yellow house on the corner. Miss Abbots house. “I think it's time to introduce me to some neighbors”, she said. Janie was happy the adventure was over and now she wanted to meet some neighbors. So she pointed at Miss Abbots house to start at. And go around the corner to meet the whole town. | Janie is like a baby so she can get scared easily and she is not really brave.The card said something that scared Janie. Mabey a death threat or something. It also could have been a clue that Janie knew about like a secret code language her and her best friend made up when they were kids and they stopped being friends. Someone is maybe trying to give her a hint that someone is watching her or that there the person watching her. Or that she's going to die soon. Or that whoever sent her that message knows the person who lived there before and knows that they kill people or something. They figured out what actually happened and solved it. Maybe it was a crazy, scary adventure. It also could have been really stressful. Janie just moved in so maybe she didn't know anybody but Olivia. | 4 | I didn't really like Creep. I didn't like it because it wasn't suspenseful. It also had a really big lack of detail. It also was really boring and I just didn't like it. |
27 | 3/11/2020 10:20:46 | 601 | viki | Guilfoyle | bury me | 2/10/2020 | 2/28/2020 | original:I don't think I run. Away from the mansion and it's toothy grin, deep into the woods that have always up until right now felt like home. Despite the heat of the day and the sweat from running, my skin feels cold as ice. Even the scent of the forest is different where it once smelled like lush green heat, it now smells cold. Dusty. Like a graveyard. My version:Someone is running away from a mansion. Away from the scary broken down mansion. Even after running and all the heat from the summer time her skin still feels cold. Instead of the forest smelling like a forest it starts to smell like a graveyard. original:“Help me,'' a voice says. I turn my back. The trailer disappeared, replaced by a room filled with gold and jewels . Gold jewels and smoke, and a girl standing in the corner in a beautiful crimson dress. The same as the doll. Smoke creeps thicker. And above us, far away, or maybe not far at all, I hear the crackle and the roar of fire. I blink and she is the doll. The doll,but my size. She takes a step forward and another one and she is right in front of me with her cold porcelain hands on my neck. She says “BURY ME or i'll bury you”. My version:Kimberly heard someone say help me. So she turns around just to find a little girl. The little girl turns into a doll. The doll wants to be buried. The doll gets up and walks towards Kimberly and says bury me or i'll bury you. original:Light flickers, pale blue and ethereal. And there before me, a young girl with curly hair, wearing a beautiful gown. The same one I wore in my dream.”Elizabeth”, I gasp.”are you dead”?The girl nods. Her eyes darkened with sadness. “Indeed”, she says. “And it's finally nice to meet you…...cousin”. I was so shocked. Later On she told me about my past. My version:The light started flickering and the Elizabeth showed up. At first Kimberly thought it was the doll because it had the same hair and the same dress. Elizabeth told Kimberly it was finally nice to meet her and that she was her cousin. Kimberly was so shocked. And maybe i'm taking it as Kimberly forgot her past. | She either saw something that she didn't want to see. She also could have encountered a ghost or spirit. She also could have found something after she destroyed it. She also could have found something out about her dad. So she started running for her life. She could have had a dream of the doll and what the doll wanted to happen. She also could have had a daydream or a hallucination. The doll also could have given Kimberly a hint about a house burning or something since the house was filled with smoke. She also could have tried to tell her where she wanted to be buried. I think that Kimberly never has met her cousin Elizabeth before and didn't know that's why the doll was attached to her. And I think Kimberly didn't know what happened in her past and that's why she has never remembered her dad. | 10 | If you are the type of person who likes mystery ghost story books this is a book for you. In the book the is a mystery the characters are trying to solve and there is a ghost/ doll problem. It also has a lot of detail and a really good hook. I really Bury Me . The book makes you feel like you've met the characters before like you know someone like that person. It also is just really good and this is another book with a really good hook. The details of the book are also really good especially how they put the details of elithabeth. |
28 | 3/6/2020 9:57:27 | 601 | Bailey | Harmon | Maxis secret | 2/7/2020 | 3/23/2020 | He nodded as a single tear trickled down his cheek. He wiped it fast, not wanting me to see it, but I did and it was too late to take back that tear. Too late to make everything okay again. Dad shot straight with me then. “Your mother got back from the vet’s. Maxi’s limping- it’s not from an injury. It’s bone cancer. We’re going to take her to Portland now for a second opinion.” I turned my head to the window. I wasn’t sure how Dad had limited himself to one tear, ‘cause my eyes gushed. “ Not Maxi. It’s not fair. “ I felt Dad’s hand on my shoulder, but he didn’t say anything. A tear went down his cheek. He didn't want me to see him crying. I knew something was wrong. Mom just got back from the vet and she found out maxi has bone cancer. They are going to take maxi to the vet to see if she really has bone cancer. I looked out the window because i wasen't sure how dad would feel someone staring at him. I wasen't sure why dad had his hand on my shoulder because he didn't say anything. | They picked her up from school to tell her about maxi because they wanted her to know that maxi has bone cancer. Dad is crying because he feels bad for maxi and he doesnt want maxi to be hurt. They are going to go get a second opinion because they really need to know if its true or not. | 10 | The kind of person that would need to like this book would need to like animals but mostly dogs. The whole book is about maxi so if people like dogs they should read this book. They would need to be handling death in this book. |
29 | 3/11/2020 14:07:09 | 601 | Bailey | harmon | Fish In A Tree | 2/19/2020 | 2/26/2020 | Running through the glass doors of Petersen's, I forgot that I was going to be cool about telling my mom that im class president. I forgot about telling her like it's any other thing. Instead I jump up and down and say it loud enough that some of the regulars congratulate me before she does. Her face says she’s trying to figure out if she heard me right. “Yes! I say, nodding furiously. “ Mom! They voted me class president. The kids in my class! Not the teacher. The kids did! She holds her arms out and I run into them. “I’m so proud of you,” She says in a skanky voice. I know why she’s crying. I can’t believe it, either. When I was going through the glass doors I was really nervous and I didn’t really want to go in. I forgot about telling my mom that I was gonna be school president and I forgot to tell her like I forget to tell her everything else because I forget. So I just jumped up and down so she could notice me and I yell it really loudly so she would hear me. The look on her face was weird because she didn’t know if she heard me right. I yell Mom! They voted me for class president! Only the kids did not the teachers. She was proud of me so she put her arms out and I ran so fast into them and she said she was so proud of me but she said it in a skanky voice. Mom was so proud of me she started to cry too. I can’t believe it either. | The inference is that ally got excited that she is gonna be class president so she started to jump up and down and yelled so her mom started to cry because she was so proud and said it in a skanky voice. She started to cry too and we couldn't believe. | 10 | The kind of person that would like this book would have to like kids in school and a girl being class president. I rated this book a 10 because I really liked it and it is a good book. |

Oliver’s teacher said that she had the kindest heart because she cares about everyone and everything. | I think the main event happened because Oliver wants to do better. Oliver wants to concentrate on what she is doing. I think the reason why Olivers teacher said she was kind was because she cares about everyone and everything. I think the reason why Oliver said her reading is like when she drops something and she thinks she gots it but she doesn’t is because she thinks she is not good at reading. | 9 | To like this book a person would have to like a good book.

Ava’s mom keeps brushing Ava’s hair. Ava’s mom said that she was like her when she was young. Ava wishes that the man would leave them alone. Ava doesn't want to be reminded about the past. | I think the main major event in my book happened because of when they went to Paris. I think the main event in this book happened because they went to Paris because they saw a man with a parrot on his arm. The reason why I think the main event happened when they went to Paris is because the man that had a parrot on his arm was by them a lot. The main event was also when Ava wanted the man to leave but he did not. | 10 | To read this book a person will have to like pairs.

Pointed circles all the way up the trunk, but until at the top there were no branches with leaves that looked like blades…. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Their version- What does it matter, he thought. Things don’t need name’s. They haven’t told me names of lots of things and I don't really care. It’s nice to lie here like this under the sky and trees and not have to practice for awhile. My version- It doesn't matter he thought. What are names for? They won’t tell me lots of things. It's nice to lay here while it’s sunny and not have to practice for awhile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There version- Someone walked toward him-a girl, striding across the sand.

With all those people being taken down there, and all the confusion, he can lose himself in the crowd for as long as he wants to. The Flor-DC Supreme Council will be down there too. There his first target. “You're safe for a while.” My version- No way you're only his second target. And with all the confusion he can lose himself for however long he wants. The Supreme council will be there too and they are his His first victims so you're safe for awhile. There version- Corgan didn’t feel fear he felt rage. “You're just going to sit there and let him do this? Why didn’t you try to stop him? You’re the only one he might listen to.” My version- Corgan felt rage in him. You let him do this. Why not try to stop him. You are the only one that he might listen to. Their version-People lay stretched out on the floor, sleeping fitfully; mothers with their arms around their children, protective fathers lay close to the, lovers entwined.

Five owls and one hawk slapping each other with wings. Scratching each other with outstretched talons. Awkwardly bumping and twirling. <The people who stole the sea blade>I said. They were approximately human size and shape. Two adults on child. They’re dead. I said unnecessary. Are you sure Rachel said in a small thin voice. <they'd have to be. How could they…> Tobias’s logic trailed off.<If you like i will examine the bodies Prince Jake.> Good idea, You do that Ax. Falling through the air. There we were a hawk and five owls. Smacking each other with wings. Stabbing and scratching each other with talons. Bumping and falling. It must have been them that stole the Sea Blade I said. They were human size and shape. We saw a child and two adults. They are dead. I did not need to say that. Are you positive that they are dead? My cousin Rachel said that.< If they weren't how would they…> Tobias trailed off. Then ax said <Jake, do you want me to examine the bodies.> | In the first paragraph it said “Tumbling through the air” So I think they are falling. I think that they are falling because someone ran into someone else and made a chain reaction. That is why it said “flapping frantically to regain control.” | 10 | The people that would like this book are people who like action. The reason is that it has five kids trying to stop an invasion. It is also for people who like aliens. The reason is that the invasion is by the Yeerks. The Yeerks are aliens. |
45 | 3/11/2020 10:10:02 | 601 | Austin | Neely | Dog tags #3 | 3/2/2020 | 3/4/2020 | The first thing I needed to do is get the dog to obey me. Or at least get him to stop trying to take my head off. What’s your name? I asked him even though he couldn’t answer me. I guess it just felt good to hear a voice, even if it was my own. Great I grumbled as I considered climbing back into the hole again. At least all this exercise kept me from freezing, or at least from feeling like I was freezing. I don’t suppose you know come, do you? The dog scratched behind his ear with one of his power full paws. I snapped my fingers, Come! You yutz, I know you know what I want. Shh! He cut me off and grabbed his rifle. He ducked low. I ducked down beside him, so just our eyes and the barrel of his poked above our foxhole. We listened to the forest.I couldn’t hear anything at first. Then there was a loud slap, like a book onto a silent study hall, then a whistle in the sky. That dog, I need him to obey me. Or try to have him not try to bite or attack me. What is your name? I know he would not answer me. It felt good to hear a voice because I was alone. Just me and this dog. I was considering getting back into the foxhole. The exercise kept me warm. I bet you don’t know come. It doesn't hurt to try. Come! Come you yutz! I yelled. You know what I want. Shh! Be silent. Get down! Me and my buddy ducked low. Only his gun, our eyes, and our helmets poked above the hole. It was silent, then there was a clap. Then a whistle. | I think that in the third paragraph they are under attack. The reason is because it said just our eyes and the barrel poked above our fox hole. In WW2 they used foxholes to use a cove when they were under attack. | 10 | I think that this book is for people that like war. I also think that it is for people that like dogs too. The reason is because it is about a Nazi war dog and an ameracan soldier working together in WW2. |
46 | 3/4/2020 10:30:52 | 601 | Lauren | Perkins | Hello Universe | 1/28/2020 | 2/24/2020 | “Hey retardo,” said Chet when he saw him. Then he saw Sacred and scooted back a little. Virgil didn’t put his head down like he normally did. He didn’t shuffle past and hold his breath until he was safely out of harm’s way. He was too tired, too fed up, too everything. Today was not the day to mess with Virgil Salinas. “Hey retardo,” yelled Chet when he saw Virgil. Then Chet saw Sacred and backed up a little. Virgil didn’t put his head down like he usually did when he passed Chet. He did not shuffle by and hold his breath until he was safely out of Chet’s way. Virgil was too tired, too annoyed, too everything. Today was not the kind of day to interfere with Virgil Salinas. It takes a while, but Sacred finally comes out of the trees. He’s happy to see me like always. He picks up his pace and trots over like a horse. His black tail swings back and forth. When I put the bowl on the ground, he nudges my hand before digging in. His nose is cold. It takes a long time, but Scared eventually comes out from the trees. Sacred is happy to see me like he always is. Sacred picks up his stride and trots over to me like he is a horse. Sacred’s black tail sways back and forth. When I put one of my mom’s bowls filled with food on the ground, Sacred pushed my hand before he began eating his food. Sacred’s nose was cold. The one thing I know for sure is I could never be a dog. They eat anything. Not me. I’m a picky eater. I don’t like avocados, peaches, green beans, or peas. I like corn, but only if it’s alone, sprinkled with salt and doused in butter. I like hamburgers, but not cheeseburgers. I like pizza, but only if it’s plain. I like clementines, but not oranges. They look almost the same, but they’re different. Clementines are much sweeter. Oranges just taste like oranges. The one thing I know for sure is that I could never be a dog. Dogs eat anything. Not me. I am a picky eater. I don’t like avocados, peaches, green beans, or even peas. I do like corn, but I only like it if it’s alone, powdered with salt and drenched in butter. I like hamburgers too, but I don’t like cheeseburgers. I also like pizza, but only if it is ordinary. I like clementines, but I don’t like oranges. They just about look the same, but they are different. Clementines are sweeter. Oranges just taste like oranges. | The first paragraph I rewrote Virgil wasn’t being himself. I think that Virgil messed up, he was sick, or he was sad. I thought those things because on his way home from the woods he passed Chet Bullens house (the bully). He normally hung his head low and shuffled past while holding his breath until he was out of harm’s way. He didn’t do that stuff this time. It said in the book that he was too tired, too fed up, to everything. He may have messed up because some people when they mess up they get embarrassed or do not act like themselves. He may have been sick because when you get sick you normally just don’t feel like doing anything about your problems. Virgil may have been sad because he may have had the chance to do something and he messed it up. | 10 | The people that would probably read Hello Universe are people that are into adventure or action. They would read Hello Universe because in the book Virgil goes to find 5 special stones for Kaori. While he was looking for them Chet came and threw his guinea pig down a deep well. Virgil climbed down to get him but he couldn’t get out of the well. Hello universe has adventure because Valencia was wandering through the woods to write some notes about squirrels. It was also an adventure when Virgil went down a well and got stuck when he was picking up 5 special stones for Kaori. I strongly recommend Hello Universe too everyone. |

One boy had a buzz cut and a mouth filled with braces, the jerk who didn’t know what judgement meant. The other boy was a fish-faced fool who flexed his imaginary bicep at me. Bad enough I had to be made fun of. Couldn’t my mocker at least be good looking? A couple days later Gonzo ( Nina ) and I were sitting on my front porch when Alyssa came to our house to pick up Callie to go to the mall. She grinned, patted my head, and then left to go inside to hurry Callie up. Alyssa’s car was piled with cheerleaders. They all gave Gonzo and me a quick glance , then went on with their gossip. Callie strolled passed us without looking at us. Callie was wearing white short-shorts and an orange tank top that revealed a lot of her skin. Alyssa wore the same thing, except her tank top was royal blue. If we got all the cheerleaders out of the car, they’d probably be wearing the same outfit as Callie and Alyssa. They’d probably also be just as sickly cute. | The last paragraph I rewrote in my own words Savvy didn’t like her sister’s outfit. I don’t think Savvy like Callie’s outfit because it was revealing too much skin and Callie had short-shorts on. I can tell that Savvy didn’t like that outfit because she said if we got off the cheerleader out of the car they would all be wearing the same outfit and look just as pukey ( sickly ) cute. I also think Callie and Alyssa planned that because they both wore the same exact outfit but a different color shirt. Or when Alyssa went into the house Callie saw what Alyssa was wearing and got changed into the same outfit. | 9 | The people I think would like Boost are a girl basketball player, a basketball player in general, or people who like action. I think a girl basketball player would like Boost because it is about a girl who plays for the 18 year old even though she is 14. I also think a basketball player in general would read Boost because it is about basketball. The only thing that might throw them off if it was a boy reading it and the main character is a girl. The people who like action would probably read this because Savvy and Gonzo try to make the 18 year old team even though they are 14. |

49 | 3/11/2020 10:34:59 | 601 | Lauren | Perkins | Boost | 2/25/2020 | 3/5/2020 | I turned around to see two boys smirking at me. One had a buzz cut and a mouth full of braces-the jerk who didn’t know what assessment meant. The other was a fish-faced moron who flexed his nonexistent bicep at me. Bad enough I had to be teased. Couldn’t my tormentors at least be good-looking? I turned around and I saw two boys smiling at me.

50 | 2/27/2020 11:39:05 | 601 | Peyton | Richendollar | Divergent | 12/1/2019 | 12/20/2019 | From the book The room goes silent. Except for the ringing sound. I hear my name and a shudder propels me forward. Halfway to the bowls. I am sure that I will choose Abnegation. I can see it now. I watch myself grow into a woman in Abnegation robes, marrying Susan’s brother, Robert, volunteering on the weekends, the peace of routine,the quiet nights spent in front of the fireplace, the certainty that I will be safe, and if not good enough, better than I am now. The ringing, I realize, is in my ears. I look at Caleb, who now stands behind Erudite. He stares at me and nods a little, like he knows what I am thinking and agrees. My footsteps falter. If Caleb wasn’t fit for Abnegation, how can I be? But what choice do I have,now that he left us and I’m the only one who remains? He left me no other option. I set my jaw. I will be the child that stays; I have to do this for my parents. I have to. Marcus offers me the knife. I look into his eyes-they are a dark blue, a strange color-and take it. He nods, and I turn to the bowls. Dauntless fire and Abnegation stones are to my left, one in front of my shoulder and one behind. I hold the knife in my right hand and touch the blade to my palm. I drag the blade down my palm. It stings but I barely notice. I hold both hands to my chest. Then, with a gasp I can’t contain, I shift my hand forward, and my blood sizzles on the coals. I am selfish. I am brave. In my words The auditorium is quiet. Except for my ears ringing. I hear them announce my name. I’m getting really anxious. I’m almost to the bowls, I’m most likely going to pick Abnegation. I can see how it's going to happen. I’m going to marry Robert, Susan’s brother, wear one of those Abnegation robes, help volunteer on the weekends, spend nights by the fireplace,and know that I am safe. I see Caleb standing by the Erudite. He looks at me and nods like he can see my thoughts. I think if Caleb doesn’t fit in with Abnegation what are the chances that I will either. If I choose Abnegation I will stay with my parents and not abandon them. He has left me alone in that house. I have to stay for them, but I don’t want to. Marcus hands me the knife. I grab the knife from him. I see his dark blue eyes-which is a weird color-staring at me. I’ve located where Dauntless and Abnegation. I grasp the knife and slice a gash in my hand just enough where a little bit of blood comes out. It hurts at first and then it fades away. I hold my hands by my chest and make myself over to the Dauntless coals. My blood drips on the burning coals. I am not selfless. I’m brave. | I can infer that her parents weren't happy with her decision. How it said “I have to for my parents.” Makes me think that her parents were maybe forcing or persuading her to pick Abnegation. Her brother nods kind of like telling her to go with her gut it doesn’t matter what they think. Like the author is hinting at that. When it says “ I am selfish,”I think it means that her parents would think she is just doing it for herself. | 9 | If you like action you would adore this series. In most action books and movies there are some parts that are gory, so you would have to like gore. One of them is when Tris’s friend got stabbed in the eye with a butter knife when he was sleeping. Then the most of the gore is when they are in the fight with Erudite. All and All I think you would like if you haven’t read it yet. |
51 | 3/6/2020 10:03:04 | 601 | Peyton | Richendollar | Insurgent | 12/20/2019 | 1/10/2020 | In the book He looks just as he did a few months ago, when we were living across the hall from each other, both of us considered switching factions but were not brave enough to tell one another. Not trusting him enough to tell him was a mistake I do not want to make again. “ Abnegation, Dauntless,” I say, “ and Erudite.” “ Three factions?” His eyebrows lift. “ Yes. Why?” “It just seems like a lot,” he says. “We each had to choose a research focus in Erudite initiation, and mine was the aptitude test simulation, so I know a lot about the way it’s designed. It’s really difficult for a person to get two results-the program actually doesn’t allow it. But to get three… I’m not even sure how that’s possible.” “Well, the test administrator had to alter the test,” I say. “ She forced it to go to that situation on the bus so that she could rule out Erudite-except Erudite wasn’t ruled out.” Caleb props his chin on a fist. “A program override,” he says. “ I wonder how you test administrator knew how to do that. It’s not something they’re taught.” In my own words He has not changed at all since a few months ago, when we lived right by each other, we both thought of changing factions but we were too scared to tell the other. It was a mistake for not trusting him. “My results were Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless,” I say. “Three factions?” His face looks shocked. “Yes, why does it matter?” “It seems like three is a lot,” he says.“We all had to choose a piece of information to study and research in the initiation in Erudite. I studied the aptitude test simulation, so I know how it mostly works. It is hard to get two results. How did you get three… I don’t know how you even managed to do that. “Well, the administrator had to change the test,” I say. “She made the situation happen on the bus to rule out Erudite, but on the results it wasn’t ruled out. Caleb sits his chin on his fist. “She overridden the program,” he says. I wonder how she figured out how to do it, they don’t get taught that.” | I think that Caleb is confused on how she got three results. First, he said “three factions?” Kind of acting surprised. Second, when he said “But to get three...I’m not even sure how that’s possible.” Like he was confused or trying to figure out how she did it. When he was talking the author made it so he had movements that look like he is confused or interested. For example when he said “three factions?” His eyebrows lifted. | 8 | If you liked the first book you would love this one. If you are a sane person you probably hate cliffhangers, so you have to read this one. This book has some action packed parts like the first one. You would have to somewhat like action. When Tris gets in a fight with Jeanine Mathews, because she was controlling the whole dauntless compound and hunting divergents. That was the main conflict of the books. I think you would like this book, because when you are giving examples it always has an action scene. |
52 | 2/27/2020 19:58:08 | 601 | Brody | Rine | Elephants Secret | 1/10/2020 | 2/27/2020 | I think there is a bad storm coming because the wind started blowing hard and the sky was getting very dark. I had to get Trixie the Elephant and Woolly the mammoth into a trailer to get them safe. So I got a bottle of warm milk and I held it near them so they were able to smell it. Then they started to follow me towards the trailer. I started to worry because the storm was moving faster than Trixie and Wooly, I didn't know if we would make it in time. We went past Daisy Mas grave. We had to bury her so my dad got a backhoe and dug a hole then pushed Daisy Ma in. I was upset that I wasn't there when she got buried but I knew that I needed to be with all the other Elephants. We didn’t want any of the ther Elephants around because they would be sad and they might have charged the backhoe for burying Daisy Ma. Doc Tavaris, the vet thought we should take them to the barn to get them out of the storm. But I thought we should take them to the trailer because the barn is old and barely holding up and the last thing we want to happen is for a peice of the barn to fall on one of them. So I thought the only possible choice was to put them in the trailer because it was in great condition and would be safe. So I had to convince Doc Tavaris to put them in the trailer. | I infer that samantha took the elephants to the trailer to be safe from the storm. She knew that they wouldn't be safe in the barn, because it was too old. They would be safe in the trailer because it was newer and safer. The elephants survived the storm. | 9 | People that are into animals and saving them would like this book. Samatha and her dad rescue elephants and take care of them if they were injured. People that like realistic fiction would also like this book. |
53 | 3/6/2020 10:05:53 | 601 | Brody | Rine | Drive By | 2/23/2020 | 3/6/2020 | One night we were walking home from a birthday that my sister Mina was at. We were walking near the library and the wind started to blow hard. The library was dark and silent. It looked haunted. We were already an hour late getting home. Jimmy started to play claw and that scared Mina. She ran around to the back of the library and I chased after her. Mina and I peeked around the side of the library. Jimmy was standing there and a car pulled up next to him. I thought that they might be lost and needed directions. Then gunshots exploded and Jimmy fell. I ran as fast as I could to Jimmy I never had ran that fast ever. I kept hoping that he would get up. But he laid still as a rock. It was the day of the funeral for Jimmy. I saw my reflection in a camera lens. The last thing that I wanted to have to see was what my face looked like at my brother's funeral. Some of the TV stations were raising money to help my mom pay for Jimmy’s funeral. So I might give them the right to be in our faces. | I think that the people that shot Jimmy were part of some gang. I think that Jimmy was a part of a gang also and they wanted to kill him. So they did a drive by. I think that Jimmy might have done something to their gang or made them mad and that's also why they killed him. Or they might have just killed him for no reason but I think that there was a reason that he was killed. | 10 | Anyone who is into mystery would enjoy this book. Or anyone that likes action because there is alot of action in this book. Like when Jimmy was killed that was action. Then the investigation to find who killed him and why is the mystery part. |
54 | 3/11/2020 10:25:19 | 601 | Brody | Rine | Drive By | 2/29/2020 | 3/6/2020 | The day that Jimmy got killed me and Jimmy were walking Mina home from a birthday party. Mina made a ponytail on one side of her head. She wants to be a princess and that's what she thinks they do. “The night Jimmy died, Jimmy and I were walking Mina home from a birthday party. Mina had tied her long black hair on one side in a ponytail. She thinks that’s what princesses do.” There was a car that stopped near Jimmy. There were shadows from the trees so it made it hard to see the people driving. My first thought was that they were asking Jimmy for directions. “A car stopped near JImmy. The shadows and trees made it hard to see. Four guys slouched low in a car. I could barley see their heads. I thought maybe they were asking for directions. It was the day of the funeral for Jimmy. I saw my reflection in a camera lens. The last thing that I wanted to have to see was what my face looked like at my brother's funeral. Some of the TV stations were raising money to help my mom pay for Jimmy’s funeral. So I might give them the right to be in our faces. “I could look over and see my reflection of myself in the camera lens. The last thing I wanted to see was the way my face looked at Jimmy’s funeral. The Local TV stations were helping to raise money for mom to pay for Jimmy’s funeral. I guess they thought that gave them a right to be in our faces.” | I think that the people that shot Jimmy were part of some gang. I think that Jimmy was a part of a gang also and they wanted to kill him. So they did a drive by. I think that Jimmy might have done something to their gang or made them mad and that's also why they killed him.

55 | 3/3/2020 10:12:44 | 601 | Meredith | Stebleton | A Dogs Journey | 2/2/2020 | 3/3/2020 | Many times over many nights with sad emotions underlay under their conversations . They also said my name. Which meant I was in deep trouble or not but this time I walked to them in shame.when my owners mom came bursting through that door and then started it all magain and then I ran and ran and ran to my girl my whole purpose. When my owners mom stomped right up to me my mind went blank. Then she started screaming at my face now you're probably thinking what kind of person she is. But Your wrong she was screaming at my C.J but i tried to make her stop screaming but that did not help at all. Finally C.J took me to her room and locked both of us in there. We waited for a little bit and walked out and I stayed until C.J said come on molly and I went running to C.J and then we left that misabrel house. The next morning me and C.J went to her boyfriend's house and I played with his dog but we did not go back home. We stayed at C.J boyfriends house for 4 days then It was time to go back home to that miserable place called home. We went to the art gallery and 2 boys came in and got some papers and left at home sweet home 2 policemen knocked on our door and C.J got taken away for a very long time. Then I got no food until my C.Js boyfriend came and took me to his house. Then C.J came and got me. I was so happy. | My educated guess was when the main character in my book said the hair on my back felt warm and the sun was out and as the light poured through the window I woke up and stretched and was ready to do my purpose again for the last time is what it felt like and it was the last time and day to do my job before I go I must tell my owner. When the main character is the dog. Said the light poured through the window and as I woke up and stretched I knew that the dog just woke up in front of a window or a glass door. But when the dog said that it was time for me to go I knew that he was going to meet Angles and puppy's and dogs. God and Jesus because it said the last day to do my purpose that's when I knew that the dog was going to die. | 10 | I think that Lauren Perkins would like this book because she is interested in lots of dogs or horses or even mystery book series so I believe that she would love this book a lot and will probably read this book more than one time because that is kind of what she does with every book some of the time but not all of the time. |
56 | 3/5/2020 17:58:58 | 601 | Meredith | Stebleton | Baileys story | 3/3/2020 | 3/5/2020 | When I first stepped out onto the soft blanket I felt happy. Soon my brothers and sisters joined me. But then my mother came over and licked this weird stuff of me.then a little while later some one picked me up. So I squealed for my mother but she did not do anything but then that person put me back down on the blanket with my mom. My little brothers and sisters then piled over me then I felt very warm. Is Matthew Dear came to the doorway that went into the living room, outlined against the great the grayish, flickering light of the TV. It was Linda coming, Todd's sister. She saw me and her eyes grew wide. She came forward no, Todd has to hurt. I certainly knew that word. I cringed at the sharp top of the tots boys. Linda put my finger in her mouth chewing at the nail, but she didn't back up. She held out she held another hand out to me. I liked it. Todd step forward. Leave me alone, he said sharply to her. Then he opened the door, grabbed my caller and pulled me inside. He didn't have to do that. I would have gone with him, even though I would rather have stayed with Linda. I knew that I was supposed to be a good dog. Todd shut the door and I heard the lock made this clicking sound. I sniffed to file a smelly clothes on the floor and found a plate under an old t-shirt with half a piece of toast on it. I quickly ate it. Cleaning the plate must always be my job when they are on the floor. Then I checked on what Todd was doing. He was walking quietly around the room, and shoved into his pockets. Okay, he said. Okay, no... No... He's at his desk no bandage or. I could smell firecrackers in there, the older thumb my nose. I did like it. I backed up to the other side of the room, under the window. I did not I didn't know where Bailey is, Tom Leonard I haven't seen Bailey. I worry about my name, then side and flopped onto Apollo sweatshirts. I was alone today, and I was tired. I hoped I'd be going home soon to see the boys soon. Attorney knocked at the door made Todd jump as though one of his firecrackers had gone off right under him. I jumped out, too kind of, and came over to stand right behind Todd as he what's Angela s s Stewart Linda. I could smell the girl more than I could see her in the dark hallway. She just needed washing, and she had been eating saltine crackers, and she was both worried and scared. That made me worried, too. I backed away from tan started and started to pay. I didn't feel like playing back down. Top slam the door unlocked again. I could feel it flash of pure rage from him, and it frightened me. I felt the boy get angry from time to time, Dad and Mom, too. But that was a mild feeling compared to what I sense from Todd. Just then there was a third outcry from coming outside the window.! Ethan! My boy my boy was calling me! Ethan! | Mom said that I could and possibly would become a service dog. I was so happy. When the day finally came a little girl picked me up. this one mommy the mom looked at her than at me and said okay let's go take this doggy home. But I was home with my brother, my sister's , and my dad. But then.. I got separated from my home. It took me awhile too at least to get comfortable but soon as I remembered it as home. | 3 | Evidence that anyone would like this book but I do not like this book. This book was a little too much for me to handle. So I read this book because I did not want to let go find a new book. I also thought that the book would honestly get better but it did not. So that's why I am better but did not so that's why I keep reading this book. I did not return it so that's why. |
57 | 3/11/2020 13:41:09 | 601 | Meredith | Stebleton | A Dogs Journey | 3/2/2020 | 3/3/2020 | What the book said: Many times over many nights with sad emotions and their conversations. They also said my name. Which meant I was in deep trouble or not but this time I walked to them in shame.when my owners mom came bursting through that door and then started it all again and then I ran and ran and ran to my girl my whole purpose. My own words: under many nights my owners said my name a few times with hate and also sad emotions. They even said my name which meant some times that I was in big trouble. But when I came into the room in shame they kicked me back out of the room and shut the door.Then my owners came bursting out through that door. Then the argument started all over again. What the book said: When my owner's mom stomped right up to me my mind went blank. Then she started screaming at my face now you're probably thinking what kind of person she is. But you're wrong she was screaming at my C.J but i tried to make her stop screaming but that did not help at all. Finally C.J took me to her room and locked both of us in there. We waited for a little bit and walked out and I stayed until C.J said come on molly and I went running to C.J and then we left that misabrel house. My own words: When my owner's parent came in and looked me straight in the eye that's when I knew. I was in big trouble. Then my mind went blank like a white sheet of paper and then when my owners mom started to open her mouth I just took off running to my girls bed and then she started screaming at my girl. Soon we had enough and me and my girl went to her room and then a few minutes later we went out not me but my girl did. But when I heard her say my name I went running to her. Then we started wrestling then me and my girl left her mom for good this time. What the book said: The next morning me and C.J went to her boyfriend's house and I played with his dog but we did not go back home. We stayed at C.J boyfriend's house for 4 days then It was time to go back home to that miserable place called home.

Me and Rocky played for what felt like forever. But we did not go home. We stayed at rocky's place for a long time. Then it was time to go home. Then we went to the art gallery and some boys came in and took something and left. The next day some policemen walked up to me and my girl and then I did not see my girl for a long time then Rocky's owner came and got me and I finally ate. Then my girl came back. | My educated guess was when the main character in my book said the hair on my back felt warm and the sun was out and as the light poured through the window I woke up and stretched and was ready to do my purpose again for the last time is what it felt like and it was the last time and day to do my job before I go I must tell my owner.

58 | 3/11/2020 15:49:43 | 601 | Meredith | Stebleton | Baileys Story | 3/3/2020 | 3/5/2020 | My own words: When I was first on the soft blanket I felt happy then I soon got joined by my brothers and sisters. But then my mother came over and licked this weird stuff off me. Then a little while later some of my Siblings joined me. Then I felt a huge him come and pick me up and so you know what puppies do ice for my mother but she did not do anything then the person coming back down the blanket with my mom and my siblings and my siblings which are my brothers and my sisters then they piled over top of me and kept on doing that I assumed that there was a lot of us probably is around 10 or 11. Books words: Monday occurred to me that the warm squeaky, smelling things around me. Next week we're brothers and sisters. I was very disappointed. For a little while now I have been pushing and shoving the wiggling objects aside so that I could get to my mother's very warm and her rich delicious delicious milk. Those things that have been dating and all the way to my food or other puppies like me I've worked up at my mother's and my mother silently asking her to please get rid of the rest. I wanted her all to myself but she didn't it seem that my brothers and sisters were here to stay. My own words: But my learned littermates did not seem to understand I tried to grab them by the back of the neck. Two or three others would jump on top of me. By the time I took them off, the pups I've been trying to teach a lesson two would be wrestling with someone else if I tried to mince groundling, as my brothers and sisters just did it back. So irritating. But I wasn't trying to make my littermates understand how the world worked. I explored a little from the first time I couldn't hear a lot of barking, and I smelled other dogs. When I called on a pile of siblings to see what I could see. Books words: My roommates didn't understand I got to grab them by the neck and turkey with Jumpin up me my time I take one or two. the pups I've been trying to teach a lesson They would be wrestling with someone elseIf I tried is too Fierce Crown all my brothers and sisters ground joyfully back at me you're creating when I was trying to make my littermates understand how the world worked I split a little from the first I could hear a lot of barking and I smell Other dogs nearby.When I crawled out of a pile of siblings to see what I can see the surface beneath my pulse is rough and hard and after a few steps my nose bump into a wire fence. I was in a cage with a cement floor. My own words: the surface beneath my pause was a broken hard, and after a few stops of my husband to two wire fences I was in a cage with a cement floor. On the other side of the wire there would be more puppies are we not blond with our guys but my siblings and my mother and me they were tiny energetic little guys dark markings and Harris stuck up all over the place they looked like they might have been fun to play with but that wire was between us. When I turned around to look at the cage on the opposite side a single female dog white with black spots her belly hung down on the floor. She gave me one of those stairs but didn't seem very interested. Books words: The other side of the word since there were more pups. These are not blonde with dark eyes. Like my siblings and my mother and me. They were tiny energetic little guys with dark markings and hair that stuck up all over the place. They look like they might be fun to play with me but the water was between us. When I turned around to look at the cage on the opposite side I saw a female dog white and black Spots. Her belly touched the floor. She gave me one glance but didn't seem very interested. | my mom said that I could and possibly would become a service dog I was so happy. When the day finally came a little girl Hovered over me and said this one mommy the mom. Looked at her ok but I was home with my brother my sister's my mom my dad. But then I got separated from my family. But my home now took me a little while to at least get used to but sooner figured it out that it was my home. | 3 | I think that anyone would like this book but I don't. I do not like this book. This book was a little too much for me. I have to handle this so that I could at least understand this because I didn't want to really go find a new birth. But I also thought that the book would honestly. it did not say so that's why I'm telling you I was about to send a text while I'm telling you about it in a corner but I did not like this book I don't and so I kept writing this book and did not return it. |
59 | 3/3/2020 10:37:36 | 601 | gage | thurston | brake and enter | 1/18/2020 | 2/21/2020 | I went back into the bedroom.Some of the dresser drawers were open.I closed them all,but one was stuck.It was filled with big chunky necklaces.Ugly.But someone obviously liked them.A lot. I bent down to see what was keeping the drawer from closing.A small red box was sticking up in the back. I pulled it out. Inside was a ring with a blue stone.It looked expensive.For a moment I hesitated.If it was expensive,the owner might call the police. I went into the bedroom and saw dresser drawers open. I shut the drawers but one of them wouldn’t shut. I got into the drawers and there were ugly necklaces. I got on my knees to see what was holding the drawer open. There was a box blocking it from closing. I grabbed the box and there was a ring inside. I thought about taking it because it looked expensive. Then I thought the lad | I think that he was stelling because he was poor and that he did not have any food or drinks so he whent into other peoples house and he stoll little thing like a glass of milk.And he might stell some big thing and take them and sell them to get some money.But most of all he just takes little thing. | 7 | I feel like most people would read this book if they liked it. It was into things like mysteries and things.I think that my friend Myquan would like to read this book because he is into mysteries and things like that. |
60 | 3/11/2020 10:34:18 | 601 | gage | thurston | rebel | 5/4/2020 | 5/8/2020 | We are outside.I see that soldiers have emptied all our schools four classroom.There are about one hundred students. It's not cold. But I shiver. Does my father know what is happening? Have the soldiers already been to the village? If so, What did they do? How is my family? I look in that direction. See spirals of dark smoke rise in the air. A soldier shoves me hard with the side of his rifle. It's the boy who hit Mr.Wek. He glares at me with such hatred. Why?Why does he hate me? Over there he snarls. He nods toward a tree. Other boys are also singled out. We huddled together next to the trunk. I see soldiers emptying all the classrooms and they sent all the 100 students outside. I am nervous. Does my father know what is going on? Was the soldiers already at the village? I look in the direction of where my family is and I see black smoke. The man who hit me.we.also hit me with his rifle. He looks at me with a look the kind of look that tells someone that someone hates you. HE tells me to go to the tree. There were other boys that went over to the tree and we all huddled together. | I think the soldiers went into the school because there might have been a gas leak. I think that there was smoke coming from the family's direction because there was a gas leak and the gas pipes from the family's directshow was also hooked up to the school's gas pipes.And the reason that they had people go and get the kids out of the school is so that way if the fire spreads. | 8 | The kind of person that would like my book is someone that is into mystery and like kidnap.They would have to like mysteries because the book is all about mysteries the whole time and in the beginning they do some kidnapping. |
61 | 3/11/2020 12:33:27 | 602 | tyler | bowlby | In the woods | 2/19/2020 | 3/6/2020 | I look around for lainy and see her talking to a woman up over the counter. Then they both start walking toward me and I realize that maybe this isn't over yet. They tell me that a lady had came in looking for a missing baby and I told her that I hadn't seen one but that she can hang up a flyer if it would help I look up for lainy and can't find her. Then I look up over the counter and there she is talking to a different lady. She comes out from behind the counter and walks toward me and I say it's not over is it? She says no but there might be something I can help you with. There was a lady that came here asking for a missing child but I hadn't seen one so she just hung up a flyer and left I pull back the top layer cautiously and there it is. Not a raccoon or a cougar or anything that belongs here in the woods. It's a baby. A living, breathing, crying baby.I tell myself that you have to save this baby life before it's too late. So that's what I tried to do. Save a baby’s life. I pull back the layers of blankets as many thoughts run through my mind. Then I see it. It's not anything that is supposed to be in the woods like an animal or something like that. Then there it is. It scared me at first but then I got into panic mode when I saw it was a real life baby. That really freaked me out “ Don't die on me “ I say. “ If you do, I'll be emotionally scarred for life. Do you want that. Do you?” He or she didn't answer it just sat there while I gave it a free ride on my bike. The baby started to cry and it hurt my ears. I've never even held a baby how am I supposed to save one's life “I swear if you die I'm going to have to deal with that for the rest of my life. So don't die!!!” Of course the baby didn't talk back because it was a newborn and it didn't know how to talk yet so I guess I was just talking to myself at this point | In the second paragraph the kid found the kid in a bundle of blankets and I think this happened because It would be a great learning experience. He said he hadn't held a baby before so here you go a baby that will teach you in life and take him on adventures | 10 | The people that like mysteries will love this because it is full of them. They will also love it because it is a regular kid that has to deal with a baby |
62 | 3/12/2020 6:41:17 | 602 | Tyler | Bowlby | Don’t buy a raccoon at a gas station | 3/9/2020 | 3/10/2020 | I gently held the chloroform to her nostrils and continually listen to her heartbeat with the stethoscope. Dad had cautioned me to remove the chloroform if her heartbeat slowed too much and we took every possible precaution I gently had my hand on the stethoscope holding it constantly over top of her heart making sure I didn’t injure her in ways that could be severe. Dad warned me that she was little and that she could get injured easily so I took extra Pro caution. Leaning over the vent sheet to get a better look my sister Laura who was almost 14 couldn’t get over how adorable he was with his bright black button eyes and his precious little black mask around his eyes. As usual he got a Biology lesson at dad’s explained that the black mass helps reduce glare in in Hance raccoons night vision which has particular important signs they are nocturnal that’s right mom said how are you going to get any sleep? He’s going to keep us awake all night My sister Laura it was almost 14 was sitting on the back of the bench and minoring the raccoon in all of these beauties the mash granite size it’s a button nose and then of course dad gave us a biology lesson he told us that the mask reduces glare and helps with night vision. Then Mom asked how are we going to get any sleep she will be keeping us up all night and keeping us busy because she’ll be making a mess everywhere Very slowly we walk from the side of the car to the other shaking his head before walking up to the open window. I actually forgot and dad‘s shirt was tied to the bumper until the state trooper asked dad if he knew there was a projectile on the bumper Very very carefully and slowly we walked to the other side of the truck we’re dad’s window is open I’ve actually forgotten that there was his T-shirt on the back of the bumper of the truck until SHERIFF eriffVery very carefully and slowly we walked to the other side of the truck where dad‘s window was open I’ve actually forgotten that there was his T-shirt on the back of the bumper of the truck until SHERIFF asked my dad if he had any idea that there was a projectile on his bumper. | Well the raccoon keeps getting in lots of trouble and different things and the dad loves animals so I think that the raccoon is a responsibility for the kids and for something else for them to learn about also it could help with life lessons like responsibility | 10 | The people that love funny books would love this because this is hilarious they buy a raccoon from a gas station and then a raccoon gets in a lot of trouble you never know what he might do in the next chapter. |
63 | 2/20/2020 19:32:57 | 602 | Dempsie | Cheuvront | I Funny a Middle School Story | 1/31/2020 | 2/6/2020 | I open my eyes. Take a deep breath. Here goes everything ”Um, hi,”I squeak out.”The other day at school we had this substitute teacher. Very tough. Sort of like Mrs. Darth Vader. Had the heavy breathing, the deep voice. During roll call , she said,’Are you chewing gum ,young man”? And I said, ‘No,I’m Jamie Grimm.’” Yes I remembered the punch line and the setup. And the audience is chuckling. Okay. Time to address the eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room.Not the club’s bouncer. My wheelchair. I hit them with my second joke. “Wow, what a crowd,” I say, surveying the packed audience. “Standing room only. Good thing I brought my own chair.” It takes a second, but they laugh-right I let them know it’s okay to laugh because I’m smiling. The laugh builds. I even get a smattering of applause. On my second joke! That could be some kind of new indoor record. That is the original 3 paragraphs. This is my version. I blinked then I took a deep breath. Here goes nothing . “Um hey” I spoke the other day school we had a substitute teacher that is very tough like a female version of Darth and breathed Heavily. Also a deep voice and during roll call she said” Are you chewing on a young man”. And I said “No I am Jamie Grimm.” Yes I remember all of the punch lines and the set ups and then the audience is chuckling time to address the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Not in the time club,s bouncer my wheelchair then I told them the second joke “Wow what an audience, I say, sure a packed audience. It is standing room only. Good thing I brought my chair.It took a second to laugh but only right after I let them know it was okay to laugh because I am smiling. The laugh built up into a chuckle. I never got good applause. On the second joke! That is some kind of new indoor. | The ending is Jamie telling more jokes and winning a contest at the school he goes to. Then he lost his confidence because his step- brother has been spreading rumours about his joke. Also his step-brother,named Stevie. Then he got his confidence then went to New York City to enter into a contest where he has to tell the funniest joke to win and become the the funniest kid in the world he went to a hospital to tell jokes. Then he got a handshake from his step-brother and said that they are enemies. Then he got a kiss from Suzie and Gilda and then he got hit on the face by Stevie. | 8 | I like the book because it is funny. I like the book because it has a lot of detail. A person has to like jokes to like this book, because the book is mostly about jokes. A person has to like characters because there are a lot of characters in the story. A person has a back story because there is a backstory in this story. Here are some of the character names Jamie, Stevie,Kosgrov, Pierce and Gaynor.I like how Jamie has stage fright because it explains why it is harem for him to tell jokes. I like Jamie because he is. I do not like Stevie because he is mean. I like how the story is told. A person has to like technology because there is little technology in the story. |
64 | 3/11/2020 20:31:39 | 602 | Dempsie | Cheuvront | I Even Funnier a Middle school Story | 2/18/2020 | 3/2/2020 | I guess almost everybody,at one time or another, wishes they could play Choose Your Family! We enter the school, where the vice principal Mr. Sour Patch (his real name is Mr.McCarthy,but we call him Sour Patch because he always looks like he has a packet of lemonade powder dissolving on his tongue), is staring with his hands on his hips, staring at us. He’s sort of like the Grim Reaper. You do not want to be on his to-do list.”There you are”, says Mr.Sour Patch ,scowling hard at Gaynor. ”You need to come with me, Mr. Gaynor.” Gaynor doesn’t budge.”Is something wrong, sir?”I pipe up “You bet there is, Mr.Grimm. Your friend Phere has been breaking into lockers and stealing everything that isn't bolted down. Step into my office, Mr. Gaynor. We need to call your mother.” “She can’t come to school...not today….” “Really? Well, why don’t we give her a call and she can tell me all about it.”Gilda, Pierce, and I glance at each other. Is this where Gaynor got the money for the movie? we’re all thinking. Because from the way Mr. Sour Patch hustles our friend into his office, it sure looks like Gaynor is guilty , guilty, guilty. That is the original paragraphs this is my verion. I think almost everyone. At a time or another, they wish they could play Choose Your Family. We go in the school, where is the vice principal, Mr. Sour Patch ( his real name is Mr.McCarthy the reason we call him Sour Patch is he always looks like he has a packet of powder dissolving on his tongue’., He is standing with his hands on his hips, like he is mad and staring at us. He is like the Grim Reaper. You do not want to be on his list. “ I found you “ says Mr. Sour Patch, glavining Gaynor “You need to come with me Gaynor.” Gaynor did not budge. “ Is something wrong , sir? I say “You bet there is, Mr.Grimm.” Your friend here has been going into lockers and stealing everything not bolted down. Step in my office. Mr. Gaynor “We need to tell your mom.” “ She can not come to school not today.” “ Really well why do not we give them a call and she can tell me about it.” Pielice , Gilda and I look at each other. This is how Gaynor got the money for the movies? We were thinking because from the way Mr. Sour Patch was putting our friend into his office; he was sure Gaynor is guilty. | Gilda, Pierce and Jamie tried to help Gaynor by making signs so they could get Gaynor in school but the sighs did not work. After that Jamie and Gaynor go had some fun. Then cleaned up a mess. Then they helped Frankie with DVDs Then after that Jamie and a character named Vincent had a joke battle Vincent won because Jamie's step-brother forced the crowd to laugh at Vincent's joke . Next Jamie has a crazy dream where he loses a joke to Vincent. I think Jamie was worried that he was not funny because he did not win the joke battle. When he woke up from his dream he was sweaty. Then he met a character named Ethan, he talked to Jamie,Gilda, Pierce and Gaynor. After that Stevie, Ethan, Pierce,Frankie and Gilda went to the school to see Jamie tell jokes. Then they made a video of Jamie telling jokes. That is how Gaynor saw Jamie telling jokes. Also a ton more people saw him telling jokes. After that he got something in the mail. The judge of the joke contest sent a letter to Jamie to invite him to a joke contest in Las Vegas. Finally Jamie and Smiley went to visit Las Vegas. Jamie won the joke contest and now he has a lot of fans. | 5 | A person has to like a joke to like this book because this book is about jokes. I think the book is okay because there is a lot of sad stuff and there is no reason for it to be in the book, however the characters are good. A person has to like many characters because there are a lot of characters in the book. I like Jamie because he is helpful. Here are some of the characters. Jamie,Gaynor,Gilda,Pierce and Mr.McCarthy. Another reason I like Jamie is because he is funny. A person needs to like crazy dreams to like this book because there are crazy dreams in the book. I do not like Gaynor because he stole stuff. A person needs to like seeing people laughing to like this book because there are a lot of people laughing in this book. This book is a long book. I like Frankie because he is helpful. Another reason I like Frankie is because he is funny. I like Frankie because he is careing.The characters are good in my opinion I do not like this book because it is kind of sad. |

69 | 3/10/2020 20:38:31 | 602 | Frank | Fularz | The Always War | 2/18/2020 | 3/10/2020 | Original (1) Gideon Thrall stood offstage, waiting in the wings. The announcer hadn’t called his name yet, but people craned their necks and leaned sideways to see him. Whispers of excitement began to float through the crowd: “There he is!” “The hero . . .” “Doesn't he just look like a hero?” Then the PA system boomed out, so loudly that the words seemed to be part of Teesa’s brain: “ And now, our honoree, the young man we will be forever indebted to for our survival, for our very way of life--Lieutenant-Pilot Gideon Thrall!” The applause thundered through the crowd. Gideon took his first steps into the spotlight. His golden hair gleamed, every strand perfectly in place. His white uniform, perfectly creased, glowed against the darkness around him. rewrite (1) Gideon was standing offstage waiting for the announcer to call his name. People in the crowd were excitedly whispering about seeing the “Hero” of their town. While Teesa was sitting down waiting in the crowd of people in the auditorium. Then as people started to talk the PA system blared loudly with the introduction of Lieutenant-Pilot Gideon Thrall. “The man we owe our survival and lives to, our hero!” The crowd went crazy with applause as Gideon took his place in the spotlight with his perfect blonde hair and uniform shining like a light. Original (2) It felt like Gideon had stolen all the air from the room. For a moment nobody moved; nobody even breathed. Then Cordina, with her finely tuned sense of cruelty, turned to Teesa. “So, slug,” she said “If you and the hero are so close, why aren’t you running after him?” “Maybe I will.” Teesa said. She back away from Cordina her retort was mostly to keep Cordina from having the last word. But it felt good to move, to pull away from the crowd, which was beginning to unfreeze from the shock. Rewrite (2) It felt like Gideon has just sucked all the air from the room. For a small period of time no one flinched or moved. Nobody even took a breath. Then Cordina cruely said to Teesa, “ So, Toad” she exclaimed “If you and Gideon are so close why don’t you talk to him?” “Maybe I’ll just do that.” said Teesa. She walked away from Cordina. Her protest towards her was so Cordina couldn’t have the last word. The crowd was coming back to life after the shock so it felt nice to move away from it. Original (3) Rumors flew after the ceremony. Gideon had been taken to the finest hospital in the country, to be treated for battle fatigue. Gideon was almost recovered, almost ready to come back for another ceremony. The only problem was setting a date for the general to return to Waterford City. He had a busy schedule. It was hard fitting everything in. Or, Gideon had already been given his medallion, in a private ceremony. He was so humble; that was the problem. He certainly wanted to share his honor with the entire community, with the entire country. But he didn’t feel that he needed to stand on a stage to do that. Rewrite (3) After the ceremony rumors began to float around Waterford. Gideon was treated at the best hospital there was for his issues after the ceremony. Gideon was ready to go back and do another ceremony, but there was one problem. They could not get the general to come back for another ceremony because of his schedule being full. There were rumors going around that Gideon already got his medal at a private ceremony when he was treated. He felt like he could share the honor with the town in another way that was more private and humble. | I think Gideon getting his medal at a private ceremony was what he wanted. I don't think he thinks he is a hero or deserves a medal. He was just doing his job and people treated him like a hero for it. Gideon didn't even want to be recognized for anything especially not for being a hero. | 4 | People that like to read about things that happen to people that go to war would probably like this book. It goes into detail about things that I never knew happened in war. There is one graphic part in the book that really bothered me. I liked the first part of the book but it kind of went all over the place after that. |
70 | 3/11/2020 20:23:38 | 602 | frank | fularz | Super Human Mind Over Matter | 3/11/2020 | 3/11/2020 | Original (1) “Move it!” Parker heard the words, followed by the crash of a student getting shoved into a nearby locker. He looked over and saw MJ Mursh, laughing with his friends and walking away from where Mark Pollack, a sophmore, bent down to pick up the books he’d just dropped. Somethings never change, Parker thought to himself, walking past Mark as he headed toward the school theater. This happened nearly every day. Rewrite (1) “Get out of the way!” Parker heard MJ Mursh say before a kid was pushed into a locker. Parker saw sophmore, Mark Pollack picking up his books that he dropped. MJ walked away laughing with his friends. Walking to the school theater Parker thought “I guess some things never change.” Original (2) Parker didn’t know what to do. This defied physics. “Should I show Mom and Dad?” He asked himself. He stared at the can, still stuck in the air as if Parker had paused a movie. He was focusing so hard on the can that he jumped when someone tapped on the door. The can fell to the desk where his computer had been. Soda spilled out of it, pouring all over the place. Parker quickly grabbed the can as he said, “Uh, yeah...come in.” His parent's popped their heads in. “We just wanted to--what happened?” His mom said. “Nothing just an accident.” Parker replied, putting the mostly empty can back on the desk. Rewrite (2) Parker was confused and stunned. It didn’t make logical sense. “Should I show somebody?” He asked himself. There was a can floating in the air like if someone had paused the tv remote. Parker concentrated on the can so much that when there was a knock at his door it scared him. The can fell onto the table and soda spilled everywhere. He answered the door. “What’s going on in here?” his mom said. “Just spilled my drink.” Parker said, setting the near empty can on the table. Original (3) The whole thing was deeply unsettling to Parker. For someone who prefered to avoid attention, the idea he could do something impossible was terrifying. “Could I actually have the power to move things with my mind?”, he asked himself over and over again. He could feel cold sweat form on his back. His heart started racing and his hands went a little numb. Rewrite (3) Parker was upset by this whole thing. Parker was someone who just wanted to blend in and not be seen, so the fact that he could do the impossible scared him to death. He asked himself over and over, “Could I actually be telekinetic?” He began to sweat. His heart was beating so fast and his hands were tingling. | The first time Parker used his mind to stop a full soda can from falling on his computer I thought it was possible that he could become dangerous. He didn't know how or why he was able to do it. | 9 | I think people that like to read about regular people who develop super natural powers would like this book. The beginning of the book is exciting when Parker finds out what he can do. He gets to stand up for himself and other people for once in his life. |
71 | 3/9/2020 20:50:29 | 602 | Hannah | Gooley | QB 1 | 2/11/2020 | 2/19/2020 | By Monday, people were calling the radio station, morning host J.D. Fredrick’s show, J.D. having announced which quarterback the listeners wanted to be the starter. The town choosing up sides even in a place where the town was usually only one side: behind the Granger Cowboys. On the way to school Friday morning, in Bear’s truck, windows down, the air clean for change, not like some kind of furnace, Bear had J.D’s show on as people were calling to cast their votes. “ You think I could call in if I gave a fake name?” Bear said. “ You’re enjoying this, aren't you?” “Enjoying it?” Bear said. “Dude i love it!” “They’re not talking about you like you’re a horse at an auction.” “ J.D., that old boy, hasn't given out the vote count all week.” Bear said. “ Said he’s going to announce the winner at the end of today’s show, right before ten o’clock, but we’ll be in class.” “Shame.” “But I got a strong feeling you’re gonna be the people’s choice.” “ You think?” Jake said. “ I’m Wyatt Cullen’s brother; I’m big Troy’s son. Like some of those boys say: I’m a Cullen in Cullenville. You act like it’ll be some kind of upset.” “You don’t think it might have anything to do with people in town thinkin’ you’re the better football player?” They listened as a caller, who said his name was LeRoy, started out by saying, “ Now I’m not here to tell you little Cullen is the player his brother was, or his daddy, but just off what I seen so far, he does seem to have some of that Cullen DN-of-A workin’ for him when he finds himself in a big spot…” Jake reached over, shut off the radio. Bear said “ Hey, it was just gettin’ good.” On Monday J.D. Fredrick’s show was on the radio. J.D put up a poll about which quarterback should be the Granger Cowboys starter, Jake or Casey? The people who listen to J.D’s show are the ones who are picking. The poll was going to be going on for a week. On Friday morning Bear and Jake were headed to school, Bear was driving his truck. They had the windows down and had J.D’s show on the radio. People were calling in so that they could vote. Bear asked Jake if he thinks that he could call in and vote if he used a fake name. Jake just asked him “ You’re enjoying this aren’t you?” Bear said “ Dude I love it!” They’re not saying anything bad about him, so that’s good! Bear said “ J.D., that old boy hasn't given out the vote count all week.” Bear also said that J.D. isn’t going to tell who the winner is until ten o’clock today. That is at the very end of the show, but they won’t hear because they will be in class. Bear said that he thinks Jake will win. Jake says that he is Wyatt Cullen’s brother, Troy’s son and all that stuff. He said it because he thinks he will win too because Troy. His dad was a very good football player and his brother Wyatt is very good too! Bear says to Jake “ You don’t think it will have anything to do with people in town thinlin’ you’re the better football player?” They are now listening to the radio and a person named LeRoy called in to vote. LeRoy started talking about how Jake isn’t the same player as his dad or his brother but he still has that Cullen talent in him. Then, Jake reached over and turned off the radio. “ Hey, it was just getting good!” Bear said. | Here is one inference I can make in my book. The boy in my book is named Jake and he lives with his mom and dad. He has an older brother named Wyatt and he is in college so that is why he doesn’t live with them. Wyatt plays for the Texas Longhorns and he is a REALLY GOOD football player. Their dads name is Troy Cullen and their moms name is Libby Cullen. Every time that Jake and Wyatt have a game on the same day Troy always chooses to go to Wyatt's game. Troy is always bragging about Wyatt and telling people how good he is, but he never says things like this about Jake. I can infer that Troy thinks that Wyatt is better than Jake and that Wyatt is just so good (even though he is) and that Jake isn’t very good and is always doing the wrong thing or something like that. Troy shows it and I can tell that this is true. | 10 | I liked this book because it was written by Mike Lupica. I love reading his books because he writes about sports and I love sports. Another reason why I love reading his books is because he makes his stories very interesting. He is a great author and I hope I can read all of his books sometime. |

74 | 3/4/2020 12:14:41 | 602 | Macy | Greene | Coyote Sunrise | 2/6/2020 | 2/24/2020 | Original 1 The rest of the memory played. Us lowering the little box into the hole we dug with a little spade, there between the roots. Covering it with dirt, a big rock then some leaves. Hiding our memories with care so they wouldn’t be stolen. Rose, screwing her face at my mom., asking, “ But what if we can’t find it, Mama?. And my mom putting on her playful serious face and answering, “ Oh don’t worry. We’ll remember where it is.” And me nodding and smiling saying “ I’ll remember!” and Mom winking at me, bending down to kiss my forehead while she wiped her dirty hands on her jeans. “There, see? Ella will find it. Ella will remember.” Rewrite 1 More of the memory played in my head. Us putting the small box in the hole we dug the day before. We put dirt over it and then a big rock to go over the dirt. After we put the rock we put some leaves to hide it. Putting our memories away with kindness so they wouldn't be stolen. Rose turned her head to face my mom. She asked “But what if we can’t find it, Mom?” My mom put on her serious but fun face. “Don’t worry we will remember where it’s at.” Me happy and smiling “I will remember!” Mom laughed at me while going down to kiss my forehead. She put her dirty hands on her jeans saying “ See Ella will remember where it’s at. She will remember where we put it.” Original 2 I rubbed the dust from my eyes. Clenched my jaw. Looked up at the trench I was standing in. Looked down the other way. Ella will remember. Took three steps farther along. Two more. Ella will remember. Stopped. My feet in the dirt. My eyes looking up, looking for the memories of the trees. Finding them. Rewrite 2 I rubbed my eyes so the dust could get out of them. I looked down the other way. I will remember. I took a couple steps. Another couple. I will remember. Then I stopped. Standing there with my feet in the dirt. My eyes were looking everywhere for the tree we buried the box under. Original 3 “Here” I whispered. Ella will remember. Rewrite 3 ‘I’m here and ready.” I whispered to myself. Ella will find it. | The three paragraphs I chose were about Ella having a flashback and finally being at the park when Ella and her mom and 2 sisters buried the memory box. I think that Ella had a flashback when she got back to the park because she really misses them and really cared about all 3 of them. I think that she wanted the memories back and how much Ella loves them. I think that Ella needs them back because the memories have been gone for 5 years and she needs or wants all of them back. In the book Ella doesn’t say she misses them but I can just tell by the way she acted when she got to the park that she really has missed them more than anything. I feel that Ella really wants to remember the memories she had with her mom and 2 sisters. | 9 | I really recommend Coyote sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart because I really like how he writes such good books and how Ella and Rodeo have lived in a bus together for 5 years. Also really like how chill and laid back Rodeo is to Ella because Ella gets a cat even though she didn’t ask for his permeation. And Ella is a really kind a caring girl and I love that about her because she picks up people who need a ride at gas station and other places. I would honestly recommend this book to someone who likes adventure. Not just any adventure but the kind that you live in a bus and travel around the U.S. just to see your grandma and get your memory box. You go there with your dad but you picked up some really nice people on the way. Ella starts all the way in Florida and drives to Washington to see her grandma and get the memory box she buried there 5 years ago. I think it’s really cool how Ella and Rodeo live and travel in a bus for 5 years without stopping. |
75 | 3/12/2020 11:01:01 | 602 | Nehemiah | Hess | On the day I die | 2/18/2020 | 2/25/2020 | It was after midnight, midnight and Mike Kowalski was driving fast-too fast-down country line road.He glanced at the dashboard clock and groaned. It was past midnight and Mike Kowalskiwas driving fast a bit too fast.Mike was also not allowed to be out on the road past midnight.He was not happy to be out so late but at the same time he did not want to talk to his mom. His phone rang.It didn’t take ESP to know it was his mother.She probably wants to get a jump start on her griping mike muttered to himself. He was hoping that he would get home and his mom was already asleep but that was ruined the moment he got a phone call.Now even if Mike had not look at the Phone he know it was his mom.He did not want to pick it up but he also now it meant he would be in more trouble. Earlier that evening, she’d told him to be in by midnight “or else.” Before Mike went to school his mom told him that there would be trouble if he didn’t get back home before midnight.His mom also told him as to what would she take away from him and how long he would be grounded.But mike did not really care he was in his own world. | For the first one I made it how I made it because I wanted to go into more of how he was feeling I was trying to show more of his feeling.For the second one I was showing how he was mad that he was late but also was showing how he did not want to go home.Then for the third one I was trying to show as to why he did not want to go home because of all the trouble.Then also why he was so mad to be late.And for all of them I was trying to make it more of a first person point of view. | 8 | I think that if you are someone who likes to hear a lot of stories.About people who have had a real big problem in their life.Then on the day I die is a good book to read.One story is a fat aunt that tried to kill her sister's daughter daughter.Another is about a girl and her boyfriend.Then some are just dark and not fun at all. |
76 | 3/3/2020 14:00:14 | 602 | aiden | howard | wing of fire the brightest night | 1/28/2020 | 3/5/2020 | I don’t want to be queen, sunny realized. I don’t want to fight for my throne or worry about the size of my territory and how much is in my treasury. In my words sunny did not want to be queen. She did not want to mess with territory. She did not want to mess with treasury. I want to be with my friends. I want to teach dragonets how to make peace and how to find other solutions instead of war. I just want it to be me sunny but it still didn’t have to be blister there was another choice. In my words sunny wants to be with friends. She wants to teach dragonets not to start a war. Sunny picks someone else to be the queen. She could feel the eyes of every dragon on her even Blister and blaze had stopped fighting. Alerted by the silence that something significant was happening. Blister stepped toward them with a hiss. In my words the dragons know something big is going to happen. Sunny knows who to pick. Blister wants badly to be queen. | Sunny and her friends have to pick a queen. I think sunny not going to pick one of the three queens. I think sunny or sunny's mom is going to be queen. | 10 | A person would need to like action. A person would need to like dragons. A person would need to like dragons and actions plus queens. |
77 | 3/11/2020 12:10:41 | 602 | Aiden | howard | Wings Of Fire Moon Rising | 2/18/2020 | 2/28/2020 | Wow Darkstalker whispered in her head.I seem to have gotten a lot scarier in the last two thousand years. You must have been scary to begin with, Moon observed, if the whole tribe moved to hide from you even after you’d been defeated. In my words Darkstalker said he got a lot scarier in the past two thousand years. Moon thinks he must have been scary at the start. Darkstalker tribe ran away when Darkstalker got trapped in his curses. Completely unnecessary. A huge overreaction. I killed one dragon, who deserved it. What did he do? Moon asked Mightclaws. I mean, what was so bad about him? In my words Darkstalker said that his tribe moving was a big overreaction. Darkstalker said he killed one dragon who got what he deserved. Moon asked what was so bad about him. Please keep in mind I’ll be terribly offended if you believe this scrawny dragonet and his monster fantasies over me. He killed like twenty dragons, Mightclaws said. All at once.With his mind. He could make anyone do anything he wanted to. In my words Darkstalker said he would be offended if Moon believed Mightclaw. Mightclaws said Darkstalker killed twenty dragons. Mightclaws said he killed them with his mind. | I infer that Moon is going to tell her friends. I infer winter is not going to trust her. I infer that something bad is going to happen. | 10 | To like this book a person would need to like dragons. To like this book a person would need to like fighting. To like this book a person would need to like queens. |
78 | 3/5/2020 12:24:33 | 602 | Gavin | Hunley | GONE | 2/20/2020 | 3/4/2020 | At least no one got hurt Edilio said. Unless their was a kid in that car..... over their by the trees. No one went to go check. No one survived the big car fire. Their was a tiny body behind the front seats. The highway was four lanes, two of them going each way. Their was a turning lane it was called an exit. Edilio laughed out loud, She said she was still expecting a big old truck to come barreling threw here and run us over hitting us at full speed. Quin muttered as Edilio hot-wired a car to ride threw all of the damage. We were skirting all the way through the highway. It was weird having my little sister drive. Edilio kept driving along and then into the exit. An hour goes past and then they come a crossed and office. They stopped their turned the car off they went inside and seen a man lying on the floor. They looked at his name tag. They searched for stuff and came across keys to a nice car out back. They went out back and seen the car it was an old 1992 Mustang blue it was covered with plastic like they were delivering it to someone. | So thees kids are separated from their parents and they try to find them along their adventure they go on. | 9 | I like Edilio because she knows how to do something if you cant like hot wire a car or brake door locks anything she could probably do it. |
79 | 3/11/2020 12:40:03 | 602 | Gavin | Hunley | THE RULE OF THRE3 | 3/10/2020 | 3/25/2020 | Here's the problem. It's not just that the lights are out and all of our computers are out. It's also because computer controls are out right now and there is no service. The first res-ponders are EMS and fire departments to help people get out of this war. Like the people who deliver food to the homeless. Even the people who work on the power aren't working. There was something going on around here and I needed to find out what it was. I hear a bong bang , a boom crash and glass breaking. she looked outside and saw a big old building falling…… she quickly ran inside. She saw a man walking out of the smoke from the building falling screaming help me she went up to him and he said the world is ending, she shook her head saying no none of this is true I don't believe you at all. The man looked at her and said see it for yourself she looked over the road that was crashed up from the earthquake. She saw fire cars, buildings, everything was on fire. Her legs shook up with fear and she ran away. The man asked Where are you going?'' She didn't reply. She kept running and running and it was like a dream for her but real. She finally woke up on the couch breathing real heavy she was sweetly. She remembers laying down there. Her mom was calling her for school she got up and got dressed ate breakfast and went to school she didn't want to tell her friends about the dream. She's just scared it will happen. Her hearing goes out and she hears nothing then the sound comes back up her teacher called on her and asked a question are you OK. Her face was as red as a cherry; she said no because of the dream. She went to the office and the lady asked her whats the problem. She said her head and stomach hurts. The office lady calls her mom and her mom comes and gets her and she goes home and lays down and falls asleep and boom back to the dream. | I think about when the dream happened to her because that scary like imagine waking up to fire screaming explosions buildings falling and crashing glass breaking it would scare me if it happened to me. | 9 | I like the girl because she is strong she has a good personality. And if I seen that I wouldn't know what to do but she kept running and running until she couldn't anymore |
80 | 3/6/2020 12:24:41 | 602 | Wyatt | Justice | The Boy Who Saved Baseball | 2/20/2020 | 3/4/2020 | The eighty sevon year old apple sat at a yellow table set smack in the mittle of his long front porch “Come and have a seat” Tom, Doc talked like he moved, slow and easy. “Good to see a friendly face. My gosh, with Town Hall meeting coming up tonight, everybody and their brother’s been by there lately, trying to sell me on one fool plan or another.” The eighty sevon year old Doc sat at a yellow table on his nice porch “come and have a seat Doc said to Tom.” Doc talked like he was In a old movie or something. Doc day brightend up when he saw the simle on Toms face. Gosh with that Town Hall meeting coming up up tonight, Everybody and there brothers have stopped by to a couple of the meeting lately. There also trying to sell me a bad idea. Docs words hit Tom two ways. First, he felt instantly guilty, since he was here to do the very same thing. Tom wanted to make sure, once and for all, that Doc understood this whole land-development scheme some people were pushing for a bad idea. Docs words hit him at complete diffrent angles. One was he felt really guilty all the sudden, the other he was thinking the same thing as Doc. Finnaly Doc understood this land-develoment. People didnt think much of it so they tryed to get me to do something bad to it. Then he felt double nervous. Tom had spent all week working on a little speach. Never in his twelve and a half years had he done anything like that before-to write out a speech ahead of time in order to remember what to say when the time comes. | I think the reason that It happened was because, he might of been going to try to get idea for what to do with the land. I also think that It happened is that he ran out of ideas that were in his budget. | 5 | I feel like Brady Neff would like this book because he likes baseball and Its about a kid who saved baseball. He would also like this book because It dose a little more than baseball. It also reminds me of the movie the sandlot, because they take this old lot and turned it into a baseball field. |
81 | 3/11/2020 12:40:46 | 602 | Wyatt | Justice | Gamer army | 3/2/2020 | 3/10/2020 | I said play on easy or practice with a solo campain. Rogan said. I dont get why any of you are suprised I was one who captured the enemy terrorist and destroyed scorpions super robot. I said try to play on the easy mode or practice mode you will get better that way. I dont understand why you guys are so inpressed that I captured the enemy terrorist and destoryed the scorpions super robot. Shaylyn Spero, the flyer mod, and only other nearly max experience laser viper on the fireteam, shoved Rogan in the shoulder, stepping past him as if he didnt matter. ‘’ you act like you did it all your self. Shaylyn Spero, The flyer Mod, and only max experince players have it if you do your good. Laser viper on the fire team shoved Rogan in the shoulder, stepping past him as if he didnt matter. You act like you did all of the work, by your self. I helped take out the robot, and I kept those little gunner drones off your back. Flyer turned around, walking backwards, the sleek green areodynamics robot holding its arms wide. I helped take out that robot you know you didnt do all of the work, I also helped you by keeping those gunner drones off your back. Flyer turned and just started walking he was speech less. The sleek green areodynamics robot holding its arms wide. | I think the reason it happend was because the kid Flyer just wanted attention so he said that he did all of the work and the other kid did nothing. I also think that Flyer used the kid to get popular. | 6 | I think that Wyatt W would like this book because it about games and me and him play a game called Fortnite together a lot. My opinion on this book is that It a good book because It about gamers and I love games. But sometimes it gets boring. |

The ghost of a moon peaks out. N1.The air is getting cooler in the evening. As the sun goes down the sky changes from blue and grey to orange. P2.Tramps and hobos arrive with their spoons and pans tied to their belts. At night the city is full of them. Nobody likes sleeping in the hoovervilles outside of town. Too much crime. We’re lucky our dad has a job. N2. Homeless people come with all their belongings. There are lots of them at night because nobody likes to sleep in hooverville because there is lots of crime. We are lucky our dad has work. P3. The smell of burning wood and burbling stew makes me hungry. N3. The smell of cooking stew makes me hungry. | I think that it was because of the depression and people were homeless so they were cooking and living in the park. I also think that it was because people’s lives changed because of the great depression. | 8 | I personally think the people that are reading the series would. I also think that if someone wanted to read a somewhat funny book and easy to read book. I feel like the book wasn’t that interesting but that's my opinion. I also think if a teacher wanted to read this to people with autism because the main character's sister has autism and the book is dedicated to people with autism. |
83 | 3/11/2020 22:00:35 | 602 | Brady | Neff | Red Cell | 2/11/2020 | 2/19/2020 | Weaving his way through blue clad spectators, Will raced out of the stadium. He couldn’t help but think that all of this was happening. This couldn’t be. It was too far-fetched. With all the and other security in the city, the terrorists had to be either nuts or desperate to try it a second time so close to the last strike. Surely with all those police, they would be caught. Finding his way through the spectators Will ran out of the stadium. He could not believe that all this was happening. This could not be possible it was so unlikely for this to happen. With all the extra cops the bombers had to be crazy or out of options to try this again. They won’t get away with it this time. Then Will turned these thoughts in his mind as he sorted fact from fiction. These were terrorists. One had to be nuts and desperate to do this kind of thing. Mr. Tenepior had said in a class discussion once,”A desperate person does not act in a rational way.” Then Will thought what was fake and not fake. These guys are radicals. They have to be crazy headed to do this again. Mr.Tenepior had said in a discussion that,”A desperate person does not act in a rational way.” They had been talking about Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Where a woman throws her own body onto a pile of her own burning books and goes up in flames along with them. This lesson made Will wonder what kind of like Mr. Tenepior lived to want to teach these types of things to his students. It seemed like an odd lesson at the time for a bunch of eighth graders. But now it had become useful. They had been talking about Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury where a woman jumps into a fire where her books are burning and burns up with them. The lesson made Will think about why his teacher wanted to teach this lesson to his students. It seemed like a strange lesson then for 8th graders but now it isn’t strange it had become useful. | I think that these paragraphs let the reader know that Will predicts whats going to happen next with the terrorists. The teacher used Fahrenheit 451 show what some people will do to make their point. It seems that Will has been chosen to help stop the terrorists. | 9 | I feel like someone that likes to read action books like almost getting run over by a truck which happens in this book will like it. Someone that likes to read about terrorists and the thing that they plot would like this |

She had to know there was no chance Blaze could survive this duel. Which meant she would get none of the promised territory for the Icewings-and she'd be bordering a kingdom that's is controlled by a Queen that has been her enemy for 18 years. Queen Glacier looked tempted to fight for Blaze. She knew didn't stand a chance against Blister. Which meant she would get none of the territory promised to her and the Icewings. Also that would mean she'd be left bordering a tribe controlled by a Queen that had been her enemy for the past years. Before long the front half of the dragon's body was uncovered. She was huge, even bigger than Burn. She must of been terrifying when she was alive. After awhile the front half of the previous Queen's body was uncovered. She was way bigger than Burn was. She must have been really scary when she was alive. Wet leaves squelched and slithered under their talons. From the sounds around her, Sunny guessed three Nightwings including her attacker, sneaking away from the scene while everybody was focused on Clay and Starflight. The leaves squelched beneath their talons. From the sounds around Sunny, she guessed there was three Nightwings. Her attacker and their helpers were sneaking away from the scene while all the attention was focused directly on Clay and Starflight. | When Sunny was kidnapped. She might have been kidnapped to be used as a bargaining chip. They could of also threatened her to do something for them. | 10 | The kind of person that would like this book is someone that likes fantasies. Also they should like dragons and scrolls. They should also like history and fighting. |

She has tried to stop the sale of the cannery to Journey's folks. She also believes that the cannery is haunted, and she testified saying it was. Lysa then turned on and started the car. “I’ll do some more research on her tonight.” (Original) Lysa puts the car in gear and heads back to my house. A familiar chill envelops me. “Wait, does it mean anything that someone related to Jameson’s case crashed her car at our school, nearly killing us?” I ask. (Rewrote) Lysa then puts the car in gear and starts to drive back to my house. I suddenly feel a chill that I've had before. “Hold on, does it mean something that someone who is related to Jameson’s case crashed her car right in front of our school, and almost killed us?” I ask. (Original) “You know what you always say about evidence-if it’s there it means something”. Spam shrugs. “Anyway, it creeped us out.” (Rewrote) “Know what you’ve always said about evidence-it means something if it's right there.” Spam then shrugs. “Well besides that, it sure did creep us out.” | I think that the part where Arletta Stone almost killed them happened because Arletta Stone saw Lysa, Spam, and Erin and realized who they were. Arletta knew that they were friends with Jameson’s (Journey’s dad) son. So when she saw them she tried to hit them. She knows that eventually Lysa, Spam, Erin, and Journey will find out the truth about Journeys dad (Jameson). Then I think that when she tried to hit them she missed and ended up crashing her car right outside of the school. | 9 | This book is really good and exciting. It has a lot of mystery’s. It also has some weird and exciting people, and places. I would recommend this book to someone who likes murder mystery books or just mysteries. It’s kind of weird, cool, and creepy how Erin and Journey both have a murder from their past. They are also dating each other. Overall this book is really good and exciting. |
87 | 3/12/2020 11:37:58 | 602 | Bella | Neylon | Payback | 3/5/2020 | 3/8/2020 | (Original) The bike wobbled along. The rider, a senior name Aiden, didn't seem too sure of himself, even though he was smiling. As he got closer to the crowd, he threw one of the balls straight at a girl named Chloe. And she caught it. But then suddenly a black pickup whipped around the corner. Someone yelled “Look out!” But it was too late. The truck practically sideswiped Aiden, and veered toward the side of the road. When his tire rammed the curb, he flew off the unicycle and hit the sidewalk with a dull, hard thud. (Rewrote) The bike then started to wobble. The rider was a senior named Aiden, and he didn't seem very sure of himself, even though he had a huge smile on his face. As he started to get closer to the crowd, he threw one of the three balls he had at a girl named Chloe. She had caught it. Suddenly out of nowhere a black pickup truck flung around the corner someone had yelled “Watch out” but they were too late. The truck had nearly sideswiped Aiden. The truck then swerved towards the side of the road. When Aiden’s tires crashed into the curb, he went flying off his unicycle and landed in the sidewalk with a dull, hard thump. (Original) Everyone crowded around Aiden. I could hear him groaning and see his legs moving, so I was pretty sure he was okay. And a few kids were already calling 9-1-1 on their phones. Which was why I focused on the pickup truck speeding off in a cloud of leftover winter salt and sand. Because the driver hadn't even stopped for a second to see if Aiden was okay. He’d just kept right on driving as if nothing happened at all. (Rewrote) Everybody surrounded Aiden. I heard him wine, and saw him move his legs. So I was 99% sure he was alright. A couple kids had already called 9-1-1. So that was why I paid attention to the pickup truck speeding off into a left over salt and sand cloud. Because whoever the drive was didn’t bother to stop and make sure Aiden was alright. He just acted as if nothing happened and kept driving. (Original) One thing stood out about the truck. The licence plate was smeared with dirt. But the rest of the truck looked as if it had been recently washed. Yep, the same, and the same guy driving it. And now Eliot was gone (Rewrote) There was one thing that stood out to me about that truck. The license plate had dirt all over it. The rest of the truck looked shiny and brand new though. Yep, I knew it. It was the same truck and same guy driving it. But now Eliot wasn’t in the truck, he was gone. | I think that the truck almost sideswiped Aiden on purpose. Because the truck didn’t even care to stop driving, pull over, and make sure Aiden was okay. I also think that the driver was scared to be questioned by the police. So he didn’t stop driving. He knew that they would be able to tell if he did something or if something was wrong. Another reason I think he did it is because he thinks it’s funny to do that or he just doesn’t care what he does, and if he gets in trouble for it. That’s why I think this major event in this book happened. | 7 | This book is kind of weird. At some points in the book it didn’t make sense. You had to keep reading it until you finished the chapter. Because if you stopped reading it and then a little while later you started to read it again you would kind of have to refresh your memory about what you read. This book was also kind of crazy. A couple different things happened at once. This book is pretty short. So if you want to read a short book I would recommend reading “Payback”. |

Sealy had hold of a loop attached to Stella’s Army pants and was all but running alongside of her to keep up. People stopped pushing and shoving and got out of the way when they seen the soldier with the kids stuck like velcro coming.” Stella Salazar was holding my baby sister [Khayla] in one arm and her being in the Army and all a rifle in the other. Sealy had to hold on to a loop on Stella’s Army pants so when she ran alongside of her, she could keep up. Not to my surprise, people stopped shoving and pushing and moved out of our way when they seen a soldier with us kids stuck to her like glue. “I walked fast and stiff as a board, thinking my chest would burst from the scream I was holding in. I forgot again and tried to grab hold of the locket that wasn’t there. I was walking very fast and I felt as stiff as a board. I was thinking my chest would implode from the scream that I was keeping inside. Once again I forgot, and reached for the locket that was supposed to be around my neck but wasn’t. “There it was. The bus. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but I know for sure it wasn’t no school bus. There must’ve been about a hundred thousand people all up in there around that bus.” Then I spotted it. The bus we were heading for. I’m not sure what I was expecting to be, but it most certainly wasn’t no school bus. This may be exaggerating but it wasn’t. There had to be at least a hundred thousand people surrounding that one bus. | The major event that was connected with the 3 paragraphs I wrote was when Armani’s mom left to get help for her baby brother [Kheelin]. And Armani’s mom went by herself and they didn't find each other for awhile. I think Stella [the person who helped Armani and her sisters] helped them because she knew their uncle in the Army. Stella also had met Armani before, at a crawfish boil. So she had connections with Armani and her family. I also think Stella helped them because they were all by themselves. They had no parents in sight. So Stella might have been worried they were lost or their parents had gotten seriously injured during Hurricane Katrina. Stella may have wanted to help them get to the safest place possible, in the shortest amount of time possible. So Stella was just trying to look out for them when no one else there was. That’s my inference about why Stella helped Armani, Sealy, and Khayla get on the bus. | 10 | I liked this book because it was a fictional book about a real life event [Hurricane Katrina]. So I couldn’t relate to it, but I know it affected everyone who was in it. Plus the characters in the book were affected by it. For example, Armani lost her puppy [Cricket] that she had gotten on her birthday. Cricket had jumped into the water while they were on the roof trying to not drown from the water. Her brother [Georgie] jumped in after Cricket because he was watching him. Then her dad jumped in after them as well. In the end, she found Georgie, but not Cricket or her dad. I also liked this book because the characters in it seemed country. It was really fun to imagine their accents by what they would say. Like they would shorten their words. For example, instead of saying doing they would say doin’. That’s what I liked about this book. |

91 | 3/11/2020 22:14:33 | 602 | Rachel | Peters | A Series of Unfortunate Events the Second | 2/24/2020 | 3/5/2020 | “The stretch of road that leads out of the city, past Hazy Harbor and into the town of Tedia, is perhaps the most unpleasant in the world. It is called Lousy Lane. Lousy Lane runs through fields that are a sickly gray color, in which a handful of scraggly trees produce apples so sour that one only has to look at them to feel ill. Lousy Lane traverses the Grim River, a body of water that is nine-tenths mud and contains extremely unnerving fish and encircle a horseradish factory. So the entire area smells bitter and strong.” The wide road that leads out of the city, goes on past Hazy Harbor and goes into the town of Tedia, is perchance the worst in the world. It’s called Lousy Lane. Lousy Lane goes through fields that are a nauseating gray color. Where there are a small amount of scrawny trees that produce apples so sour that someone only has to look at them to feel sick. Lousy Lane goes across the Grim River, a body of water that is nine-tenths mud and contains really disconcerting fish, and encircles a horseradish factory. So the entire part of the town smells pungent and powerful. “I am sorry to tell you that this story begins with the Baudelaire orphans traveling along this most displeasing road, and that from this moment on, this story only gets worse. Of all the people in the world who have miserable lives- and, as I’m sure you know, there are quite a few- the Baudelaire youngsters take the cake, a phrase which here means that more horrible things have happened to them then just about anybody. I’m contrite to tell you that this tale starts with the parentless Baudelaires being transmitted along this irritating road and from that minute on this tale is only going to get worse. Of all of mankind who have miserable lives- and as I’m sure you know there are quite a couple- the Baudelaire children take the cake, an expression here means that more terrible affects have appeared to them then practically anybody. “Their misfortune began with an enormous fire that destroyed their home and killed both their loving parents, which is enough sadness to last anyone a lifetime, but in the case of these three children it was only the bad beginning. After the fire, the siblings were sent to live with a distant relative named Count Olaf, a terrible and greedy man. The Baudelaire parents had left behind an enormous fortune, which would go to the children when Violet can of age. Count Olaf was so obsessed with getting his filthy hands on the money that he hatched a devious plan that gives me nightmares to this day. He was caught in time, but he escaped, and vowed to get a hold of the Baudelaire fortune sometime in the future.” Their tough luck started with a tremendous fire that ruined their home, and took their adoring parents, which is plenty of sorrow to provide any person in a lifespan. In the case of the Baudelaire children it was only the bad beginning. After the fire, the Baudelaires were sent to live with a close relative named Count Olaf, a treacherous and stingy man. The Baudelaire parents left a humongous wealth, which would go to the Baudelaire youngsters when Violet grows up. Count Olaf was so crazy about getting his filthy hands on the money he hatched an evil plan that gives me bad dreams to this day. He was captured before anything really bad happened, but he got away and swore to snatch the Baudelaire fortune eventually | I think that Count Olaf did what he did because he is a really bad person. I think why he’s a bad person is because his father died. His father died by his friend throwing a poison dart and it accidentally hit him. I think he is a bad person because he feels like his friend betrayed him. He doesn’t know that it was accidental | 10 | The kind of person that would like this book is a person that has a lot of patience. This book has a lot of suspense in it and when you finish one of the books say “I need another one!” I mean this book and all of the others are very good. I think you should read it If you are one of the people I described |
92 | 3/2/2020 9:00:46 | 602 | Kimberly | Petty | The Walk On | 1/25/2020 | 2/13/2020 | Original 1 They were all staring at each other when they heard footsteps. Jonas pointed at the small bathroom that joined Coach Gordon’s office. He put a finger to his lips, and as quietly and as quickly as possible; they dashed into the bathroom. Rewritten 1 Alex, Jonas and Christine stared into each others eyes with fear. The footsteps were getting closer to them by the second. Jonas was the one who finally after what felt like an eternity to come up with a solution. Jonas suggested to somehow fit into the tiny bathroom by Coach Gordon's office. They all knew they would have to be as quick as lightning as a quiet as a mouse to get to the bathroom without being discovered. Original 2 If Jonas was scared, he didn’t show it. Christine looked the way Alex felt: terrified. Jonas had grabbed his backpack and his forms and carried them into the bathroom. When Alex saw that Jonas had the forms, he gasped again: he’d taken Matt’s, but the rest were on Coach Gordon's desk. Rewritten 2 They were all safe for now, cramped inside the bathroom. Alex looked around at his friends. Christine's face looked extremely scared and Jonas was as always calm,cool and collected. Alex was feeling the same way Christine looked terrified. When Alex thought about all of the forms on Coach Gordon’s desk still his level of worry jumped from 5 to 35. And when he saw that Jonas had Matt’s forms he thought he was going to faint. Original 3 He started to go back, but Jonas seized his arm. It was too late. Someone was walking into Coach Gordon’s office. Rewritten 3 Alex decided he should go and pick up the forms on Coach Gordon’s office. When he started to make his way out of the cramped bathroom Jonas grabbed his arm in what felt like a death grip. It was a good thing Jonas stopped him because someone was walking into Coach Gordon’s office. | My inference is about Alex’s decision to try to leave the bathroom, in the last paragraph. The decision Alex made was extremely risky, for Alex and his two friends. I think in Alex’s mind it would have been better to let the coach/person who was entering the office that they were in there. Rather than making the person find Alex, Jonas and Christine. Since making that person find them would most likely make Alex get in more trouble than being honest. Another event that makes me make an inference about why Alex was going to walk out of the bathroom and get in trouble, was he has recently got in trouble with Coach Gordon. Alex got in trouble for changing a play in the huddle. It would just make matters worse if he got in more trouble right now. He changed that play since he wanted to show off in front of the coaches so he could start. I think getting in trouble was a big part of Alex’s decision to try to let the Coach know he and his friends were sneaking around his office. | 7 | My rating on The Walk On was lower than any of the other books I have read this year. The reason I gave this book a lower rating there was LOTS of drama. I prefer books with conflicts but when there is way too much unnecessary drama I start to not enjoy books as much. One thing I strongly liked in The Walk On was how hard the players trained to get better. And the huge difference it made between them and their competition.I would recommend this book to Sadie. Since she loves sports books and drama. I feel like this book would suck her in. I know she would really like it. My favorite parts in this book were where John Feinstein went into detail about things. I can’t wait to read more of his books. |
93 | 3/5/2020 12:18:37 | 602 | Kimberly | Petty | The Sixth Man | 2/18/2020 | 3/4/2020 | Original 1 “SHOOT!” Alex screamed, because he knew there couldn’t be more than two seconds left. Wakefield went up to shoot, and no one from Chester even moved in his direction. Wakefield alway shot the ball high, and now the ball hung in the air as if it were going to bring rain. Rewritten 1 Alex glanced at the clock 1.5 seconds left as he flicked the ball towards Wakefield. He shouted “SHOOT!” at the top of his lungs. Wakefield quickly released the ball with nobody from the opposing team anywhere near him. Or even making an effort to block his shot. The arc on Wakfield’s shot was high which was normal for Wakefield. But the high arc made it seem like eternity when the ball was in the air. Original 2 But then, just when he thought it would never come down, Alex saw it splashing through the basket- not even touching the rim. The buzzer went off, and Alex could see Wakefield standing there, staring in disbelief at what he’d done. Rewritten 2 Finally the ball made its way back down towards the rim. Alex was quickly pulled back into reality just in time to see the ball swish right through the net. He did a double take since the ball didn’t even touch the net. Then the buzzer went off. But Wakefield just stood in the same place he released the ball. He continued to stand there like a statue, he was in shock. Original 3 They all charged Wakefield, mobbing him, while the referees went to make it official that the shot had counted. There was no doubt that it was good. Coach Sparau, Alex could see, was already walking toward Coach Archer, hand out, offering congratulations. The Chester players were in a state of shock. Rewritten 3 Wakefield was attacked by his teammates shouting and praising him. Since he made the championship winning shot. All of this was happening as the officials watched the replay of the shot at the scorers table. According to the rules they had to watch the replay. But everyone knew that it was clearly good. The coaches were talking and Alex saw Coach Sparu (the coach of the losing team) was congratulating their coach, Coach Archer on the big victory. The Chester players were not happy. Some of them were just standing in the middle of the court still. | My inference is about Alex’s decision to pass it to Wakefield for the game winning shot. When I read this in my book I was so confused about why he would pass it to him. The first reason it shocked me was that Wakefield never liked Alex, and Alex didn’t like him either. Wakefield didn’t like Alex since Alex took his starting spot on the team. The reason Alex didn’t like Wakefield was one day in practice the team was scrimmaging and Alex stole the ball from Wakefield and went down the court for an easy layup. Immediately after Alex made the layup Wakefield plowed Alex over which caused Alex to break his wrist. Wakefield ran into Alex on purpose to hurt him and make a point that he was mad at Alex. Since Wakefield and Alex’s dislike for each other I would expect Alex not to put the game in his hands. And Wakefield was not very good either. He was only 29% from the three point line over the whole season. Alex says he could beat Wakefield with one of his hands tied behind his back and the flu. The reason I believe Alex passed him the ball for the winning shot is to show everyone he wasn’t a ball hog. Since he had been called one a lot by people recently. Also when Alex did this he showed everyone he trusted other people than himself. Wakefield from then on was nice to Alex and they both respected each other. | 9 | I strongly liked the book The Sixth Man. I really enjoyed this book which made it hard to put it down. My favorite part in The Sixth Man is when Max got out of control on the court. The ref made a horrible call. The foul went on Alex and it should have been on the other guy. Max got a technical foul on him for arguing with the ref, along with his other foul. I found this part in the book extremely humorous. I would recommend this book to 5-7 graders who enjoy basketball, and understand it. It seems like there is never a dull moment in The Sixth Man. Something is always going on. I have another book left in the triple threat series but I don’t think I’m going to like it since it is about baseball. |

Her only option, really, which left him two: wait for her to come out or leave his position in the woods boarding the highway and end it. The option with the least risk was staying put. If she crawled out, he would kill her. If she didn’t, time would. (Mine)She has gone under the car. Her really only option, which gave him two:wait for her to come out from under the car or leave his position in the woods. The option with the least risk of getting killed was staying put. If Cassie crawled out from under the car, he would kill her. If she didn't come out from under the car, time would kill her. (Original)He reloaded slowly, with the deliberateness of someone who knows he has all the time in the world. After days of stalking her, he guessed she wasn’t going anywhere. She was too smart for that. Three shots failed to take her down, but she understood the odds of a fourth missing. What had she written in her diary? (Mine)He slowly reloads the gun, with the intend of someone who knows he has all the time he needs. After many days of stalking Cassie, he guessed she wasn't coming out from under the car. She was too smart for that. The three shots to take her down, missed. She understood the odds of a fourth bullet missing. What did she write in her diary? (Original)In the end it wouldn’t be lucky ones left standing. She would play the odds. Crawling out had zero chance of success. She couldn’t run, and even if she could, she didn't know in which direction safety lay. Her only hope was for him to abandon his hiding place and force the issue. Then anything was possible. She might even get lucky and shoot him first. (Mine)In the end it won't be the lucky ones who are left standing. She would play the odds in her head, over and over again. Crawling out from under the car had zero chance of surviving. She couldn't run and even if she had the chance, she had no idea in which direction lay safety. Her only hope was for him to leave his spot in the woods. Then really anything was possible, for her at least. She might even be able to kill him first. | The three paragraphs that I wrote was one major event. One inference about why it happened. Was so Cassie and Evan would meet in the book. I think that is why it happened. Plus, that is a good way to make them meet each other because how would they meet if he wasn't a Silencer and he was stalking her. If Evan never shot her and she never met him when he was trying to kill her. She never would have met Evan and started falling in love with him. Evan never would have fallen in love with Cassie if they never had met on the highway. That's why I think that, that Evan and Cassie met on the highway. | 10 | My mom would like this book. She would like it because it's an adventure book and my mom loves adventure books. Two, she likes to read books about aliens and space stuff. I have no idea why but she likes a lot of alien and space things. The 5th Wave is a movie my mom totally LOVES so this book is a book and a movie. My mom would compare and contrast the book and the movie because she likes to do that. My mom would LOVE this series so i'm prob going to get the series so I can read it and my mom can read it. |
95 | 3/12/2020 11:36:19 | 602 | Casadee | Steinmetz | The Infinite Sea | 3/5/2020 | 3/12/2020 | (Original’s) Across the on-ramp, down the steep hill to the overpass, Stage One complete, and then I deposited Sammy on the ground and whacked him hard on the butt and told him to knock it off or he’d get us killed. “What’s the matter with you, anyway?” I asked. “I was trying to tell you!” he sobbed. “But you wouldn’t listen. You never listen! I dropped it!”. “You dropped-?”. “The bag, Cassie. Running out, I...I dropped it!”. I looked over at Ben. Hunched over, head down, forearms resting on his upraised knees. I looked at Dumbo. Slump-shouldered, wide-eyed, hand holding Megan’s. “I have a bad feeling about this”, he whispered. The world went breathless. Even the snow seemed to hang suspended in the air. The hotel blew apart in a blinding fireball of neon green. The ground shuddered. Air rushed into the vacuum, knocking the four of us off our feet. Then the debris roared toward us, and I threw myself over Sammy. A wave of concrete, glass, wood, and metal particles (and-yes-bits of Ben’s effing rats) no larger than grains of sand barreled down the hill, a gray boiling mass that engulfed us. _Welcome to Dubuque (Rewrotes) On the other side of the ramp, down the hill onto the overpass, Stage One is completed, and then I threw down Sammy on the ground and smacked him hard on the behind and told him to knock off this crazy crap or he’d get all of us killed. “What the heck is wrong with you, anyway?” I asked. “I was trying to tell you something!” he started sobbing. “But you wouldn’t listen to me, at all!. You never listened to me! I dropped it Cassie!, I dropped it!”. “You dropped what?!?”. “The stupid bag, Cassie. Running out of the hotel, I...I dropped the stupid bag!”. I look over my shoulder at Ben. Who was hunched over, head down, forearms resting on his upraised knees. I looked over at Dumbo. Who was slumped-shouldered, wide-eyed, hand holding Megan’s hand. “I have a really bad feeling about this, a really bad feeling” he whispered, to himself. The world went totally breathless. Even the snow seemed to hang in the air. The hotel exploded in a huge big fire of light neon green. The ground shook. The air from the explosion knocked all four of us off of our feet. Debris rolled towards us, and I threw myself over Sammy so he wouldn’t get smacked with debris. A wave of glass, concrete, wood, and metal particles (and-yes-bits of Bens stupid effing rats) no larger that grains of rice barreled down the hill, towards us. A huge boiling mass that engulfed us, whole. _Welcome to Dubuque | An inference I had about the one part in those paragraphs. Was, why the hotel exploded. I think why the author made the hotel explode. So Cassie would think that Evan died because Evan always said that he would find her. When he had to leave her and when she ran away from him because she found out the truth about him. I think the author did that so there would be a scene about Evan maybe dying but he’s alive and finds a way to find Cassie because he is in love with Cassie. That’s what I think. | 10 | I strongly recommend this book to tweens/adults. This book would be great for people who like adventure in it. I also recommend this book for people who like romance, action, and suspense. This book was a great book. This book is heart-pounding pacing, lyrical prose and mind-binding twists. This book always has you constantly on edge and questioning everything. |
96 | 3/6/2020 12:00:28 | 602 | wyatt | worthington | Avalanche | 3/2/2020 | 3/4/2020 | I stared at my brother. What I said. Who are you? Ryan repeated then looked around blankly. Where am I. My heart broke into pieces. How could he not Know me. I pulled in a shaky breath. We were in an avalanche. I think something hit your head. I am your twin sister. Mom and Dad don't know where we are. They think we're over on the next trail.I paused as this reality sank in. And we have to get warm while we wait for help to come. I looked at my brother. I waved my hand in front of his face. Who are you Ryan said. And then looked around like nothing happened. What are we doing here Ryan said. All of a sudden I went into shock How could he not know who I am. I took in a breath. We were both in an avalanche. I think something hit your head. I am your twin sister. Mom and Dad aren't exactly certain where we are. We just need to make a fire to stay warm till help comes. | On paragraph 3 I made an inference A inference that they were going to be saved. Because they made a fire. And the smoke will rise. And someone might see the smoke. | 8 | I really liked this book. It was a shorter book but still a lot of detail. Really anyone who like books that are fast and have the main part of the book come faster. |

Those liars she’d exclaimed her voice so furiously that a nurse had to peek in to shush her. But she couldn’t believe it. Everyone on the north end knew why the tank shattered Because it wasn’t built right. Even little kids knew that. The tank had leaked since the moment it was built. Don’t worry Tony said to her. No one believed them. Carmen could only hope Tony was right. The people said there was a bomb in the tank. Carmen looked up. Those liars! She said She was so mad a nurse had to come in and tell her to calm down. wasn’t built well. The tank had stuff coming out of it since it was built. Don’t be afraid Tony said. Nobody believed it. Carmen could only pray Tony was Right. | After reading paragraph 3 I felt like someone did set a bomb. Almost like someone is out to get them. I mean the tank did have stuff coming out the top but you would think it would hold. | 9 | I think everyone likes the books I survived. I know I do. It was one of the newer I survived books. And I really like it. It was a really good book. |

With enemy forces advancing, the Joint Chiefs requested permission to broaden the mission from merely guarding the base to engaging in what was described as “limited offensive operations”. Johnson Agreed. The chopper landed in a grassy clearing and the men jumped out, ducking to keep their heads below the whirling blades. Other helicopters were landing nearby. Caputo quickly moved his men out of the open space and under the dense forest canopy. In an instant it was dark. As the helicopters lifted off, Caputo gathered his platoon and set out on one of the first American patrols of the Vietnam War. Their mission was to march to a nearby village and conduct a search for Viet Cong fighters and weapons. Single file, the men walked along a narrow, muddy trail that wound alongside the the river. On one side of them was thick forest; on the other was the brown river, and beyond that was a tall tangle of elephant grass and bamboo. The only sounds were of the flowing water and creatures in the forest. That went for three weeks. With Viet Cong soldiers moving forwards the Joint Chiefs wanted permission to make the mission from guarding the base to engaging with the enemy. Johnson Agreed! The helicopter landed on a grassy area with no trees, then the men jumped out onto the grassy ground ducking to keep their heads from being chopped off. Other choppers started landing close by. Caputo moved his men out of the open and under a thick forest overhead. In a blink it was dark. As the choppers went off, Caputo got together his | I think that the soldiers had to patrol for Viet Cong fighters because the war in Vietnam was getting more intense. The reason for that was that protesters were protesting before the war started. Also the U.S was trying to get North Vietnam to sign a treaty. They would not sign the treaty. So that made the war more tense. That is what I think about the troops in Vietnam. | 10 | I really liked “Most Dangerous” because it has a lot of detail about the war in Vietnam. This is a good war book and anyone who likes books with suspense will like this book. That's why I like this book. |

And my mom and dad keep making flounder for dinner because they think I like it, even though I’ve told them a billion time that I most definitely do not like it! ‘’ Flounder guys really?’’ I roll my eyes at my parents as soon as they walk into the bunk. ‘’You’re torturing your poor daughter with flounder, and I’m not even there to commiserate!’’ My heart is very proud of my little sister right now. I have been so bored without you and mom and dad keep making flounder for dinner because they think I like it ever after I have tolled them. People who came over always say my mom and dad are touring their poor daughter with flounder. That is what I rewrote. The author wrote her mom died when she was really little, and he never remarried and he’s honestly the nicest. He writes to her a typed up, single spaced, two paged letter every single day. And they live in manhattan in a fancy apartment and get this they have a pool on their roof!’’ ‘’For real?’’ Kaylans eyes go super wide. I knew the pool would be enticing, that’s why I saved it for last. ‘’Tell me more!’’ Her mom died when she was a little girl, and her dad never got remarried, even though he was the nicest. He typed single spaced 2 paged letters everyday. They all and still do live in manhattan ina really nice apartment.They also have a pool on their roof Kaylan’s eyes go very wide. That is what I rewrote. The author wrote ‘’Hey,’’ Golfy says, semi out of breath when he catches up to all of us. ‘’Arianna, this is your fam?’’ I nod. ‘’Yes, my lovely family. Mom, Dad, and Little sis. And this is my best friend, Kaylan. ‘’ Hi, best friend, Kaylan,’’ Golfysays, twisting the cap around so that the brim is in the back. ‘’Also hi, Mom, Dad, and little sis. I’m Jonah. But everyone calls me Golfy.’’ ‘’Hello,’’ my dad says, in the most awkward dad tone I’ve ever heard. ‘’ Hi,’’ Golfy says as he is out of breath when he catches up to all of us. ‘’This is your fam, Arianna?’’ ‘’Yes, my family, Mom, Dad, and my little sister. This is also my best friend, Kaylan. ‘’Hi, Kaylan,’’ Golfy says as he is twisting the cap off. ‘’Hi Ariannas, Mom, Dad, and little sister. ‘’I’m Jonah, but everyone calls me Golfy. ‘’Hey, Golfy,’’ my dad says in this awkward dad tone. That is what I rewrote. | I picked the first paragraph I rewrote. The major event that happened was that Ari’s parents would not stop making flounder for dinner. I think that Ari’s parents keep making flounder because they might have a lot of flounder and they want to cook it because they want to get rid if it. Or they like flounder a lot and they just want to eat it but Ari doesn’t want to eat it because she doesn’t like it. That is the major event that happened and why i think it happened. | 10 | The kind of person who would like this would be someone who likes action or adventure. The reason why that kind of person would like this book is because it is all about adventure and it has a lot of action to it also. The book also has some good detail and you can understand it where like some books you can’t. That is what kind of person would like this book. |

Are you sure we can’t get more help to unpack? When my friend June’s aunt and uncle moved here last year, they hired these two guys to help them unpack them and they were done in, like, three hours. I rewrote, She attempted to hop from her chair in her usual bubbly way, but her hop was slower. There is boxes in the den, are you sure we can unpack them? My friend June, her aunt and uncle moved here and hired two guys and they got it done in like three hours. The author wrote, MY dad said that they were getting rid of al the stuff in their basement in their old house, but so much of its here. It’s hard to throw things away. I find the box that Zeyda was talking about and I’m about to head inside when my eyes land on something else. Something I never saw in their house. I rewrote, My dad said we are getting rid of everything in their basement. It is hard for me to see all of this stuff they are getting rid of. I’m about to head inside and my eyes land on something. The author wrote, I feel bubble of happiness that even though Kaylan went to the water park with the lunch table girls, she still wants to come hang out with me and also see bubbie and Zeyda. I think if I took a poll of all the BFF’s in the world, I wouldn’t find many who would want to hang out with the other’s grandparents. I rewrote, I feel bubbly inside even though Kaylan went to the water park, but she still wants to hang out with me and see bubbie and Zeyda. If I took a poll for all the Bffs in the world, no one would hang out with other grandparents. | The paragraph that I picked was the first one I rewrote. The major event was that she wasn’t her bubbly self when she hopped up from her chair. I think that she was not like herself because she was sad that she had to get rid of everything in her basement, and that is why or she was just not having it that day, like the day was rough. That is why I think the major event happened. | 10 | The kind of person would like and enjoy this book would be someone who likes chick lit and romance, because there is a lot of romance in it and there is a lot of chick lit in it.

102 | 3/6/2020 8:58:31 | 604 | Landen | Baker | Projeckt- 1065 | 1/20/2020 | 3/3/2020 | Fritz kept getting up but I beat him down every time. I tried to tell him that I’m not going to beat you up. He wouldn’t stop so I started going at him harder. He started to get tired so I beat Fritz up even harder. The he was trying to get up but I punched him again. Fritz wasn’t giving up then I beat him more. I was starting to get tired but I didn’t stop. He eventually fell down and never got back up. Then I left the ring and the boys carried him away. I kept my feet while Fritz came at me again. There was a dull look in his eyes now, as if my punch had knocked something loose in his brain. I guessed it was his common sense. Fritz opened himself up again, and I punched him in the nose. Hard. Blood spurted all over his clean, pressed Hitler Youth uniform, and he dropped to his knees, one hand on the ground. The monsters around me howled, They’d finally gotten to see what they came for. The AA guns were huge. They had these giant mover position things to adjust where it shot. I had to get the ammunition for it. I was in a hurry to get them to the gun. When we got there we handed them to other kids. After that the other kids loaded them in the gun. When they shot the gun it made the city rumble. The antiaircraft guns weren’t just “guns”. They were cannons. The barrel of the gun was a long, thin shiny silver proboscis like a mosquito’s nose, sticking out of a stocky jumble of gray hydraulic pistons and levers and gears that could swivel the cannon in any direction and any elevation. The giant mosquito stood on four thin legs that stretched out like an X on the ground beneath it - a perfect target for the bombers overhead. Being able to join the Senior boys granted me a chance to get more information. I could get an actual job for the Nazis. If I could find the private information then submit it to the Allied. But one problem struck. The swimming pool. You had to master the task of jumping from a large height above the pool. I was excited too. Entry into the senior Hitler Youth would mean even better chances to gather information for the Allies. Now, instead of having to wait to sneak into rooms during dinner parties, I would be given a position of real service in the city, where I could dig up some truly useful Nazi Secrets. But then I remembered to become a senior member of the Hitler Youth, you had to pass a series of physical tests, and there was one I knew I couldn’t pass, and never would. I sank in my chair. Just when my career as a spy was about to take off, it was going to crash and burn. | I think why Micheal had to beat up Fritz up was because they had to show how tough they were. Another reason why I think that they had to fight each other is that they recognize they’re friends. They might have only done that because they don’t want any friends in the military. The Germans could just want the kids to focus on serving Adolf Hitler. Another reason could be that they don’t want anybody to be weaker without one another. | 8 | The people who would like this book would be hitler enthusist. When his youth group was in front of him, he was 3 inches shorter than his gaurds. People who would like this book are people who like reading about sneaky spies. The book ha dgreat deatails about being a fake Nazi. WHen Fritz had to push Michael off the platform into the pool it was funny. |
103 | 3/11/2020 21:47:18 | 604 | Landen | Baker | Hit Count | 3/4/2020 | 3/11/2020 | The entire defensive unit howled out a wordless Neanderthal roar, and the stands gave it back to us twenty fold. Lord, this was it. I could feel this, under my feet and inside my rib cage. The intoxication athletes always say they get from a raucous home crowd. It was the best thing I ever felt, and I wanted it to go on and on. All of our defense screamed out a fearless yell that shakes the stands. You know this is the time. My body told me this is the time where we play our hardest. Our hard hitters get the feeling that now's the time we crack our pads. The feeling my body gave me needs to stay on the entire game. At the first play from the scrimmage, they got a five yard gain off left tackle, but it didn’t mean anything and we knew it. At the snap, we packed the line, our lineman standing their lineman straight up, just powering straight like plow horses while the linebackers all rushed in to catch the run coming right tackle. The three of us rammed into the running back all at once, blasting him and ourselves back through that line, on his can, coughing back up half of those yards they had just gained. The first run they made got them an easy five yards. We filled the line up and our lineman bulldozed the other teams lineman. The back fielders met the runner. Some of our players trucked the kid at one time. The kid laying there. We got some of the yards back from the five yard gain in the first run. I wanted to be great. That’s what I knew. I planned to pack on another twenty or thirty pounds before I started my sophomore year. I let Dino's know that I would be training day and night, everyday, and he could jump in or out as he wished, but I didn't have time for off days anymore. I left for school early and even though there weren't any practices anymore, I came home later than ever, splitting afternoons up between lifting and running on the track. I pushed myself to be the best. It’s the only way I’ve been taught. I’m hoping to lose about 40 pounds. I’m going to be working out 24/7 to get those pounds off of me. There is no plan for me to be lazy during the off season. When the weights get my blood flowing I start getting to run. | I think that when the defensive unit ran on the field I thought they were going into war. When the book said the intoxication athletes get hype when they get the cheer. When the boys all hit the runner at once was awesome because they demolished him. The kids all like to work with each other during the games. The lineman are beasts because they open holes for the linebackers to get through. | 7 | The type of person that would like this book are football players. When the players get hype when the stands clap for them and chant. Every player should get hype when It’s game time. The book has great details about how the game is played from different viewpoints. |
104 | 3/4/2020 9:12:49 | 604 | Sadie | Binkley | The Sixth Man | 2/17/2020 | 2/28/2020 | “Alex and Molly, I want you to meet someone,” his dad was saying.”This is Megan Wheeler.” He paused for a moment , and Alex had the sense that Megan Wheeler was waiting for him to add something to the introduction. Alex was right, “Megan,” he added ,”is my fiance`.” “Molly and Alex, I’ve been very excited for you to meet someone special,” their dad was saying. “This is the lovely Megan Wheeler. “ He waited for a second, but Alex had the feeling Megan Wheeler was waiting for Alex’s dad to say something else for her introduction. Alex was correct, “Megan” he included “is my beautiful fiance`. Once they were all back in the car Molly lost it. “Dad, how could you?” she yelled,and then burst into tears. “Moll I’m sorry,” their dad said. “But I did tell you that I was seeing someone and Alex tells me that your mom is seeing someone too. “But, dad she's horrible,” Molly said. “You don’t know her yet,” their dad said. “We know enough,” Molly answered. When Molly, Alex, and Dad were all back in the car Molly lost her cool.” Daddy, what’s wrong with you?” she screamed, then she bursted into tears.”Molly I’m really sorry,” their dad softly said. “I already told you that I was seeing someone and also Alex told me that your mother is seeing someone as well.” “But Daddy she’s terrible,” Molly complained.”You just don’t know her quite yet,” their dad answered.”Well we know enough,” Molly fired back. The hugs at the train station were quick and awkward. Alex’s dad pulled over the curb and jumped out of the car long enough to help Molly get her bag. He also wished them a Merry Christmas and told them that he would see them in Philadelphia. The hugs and kisses at the train station were fast and weird. Molly and Alex’s dad drove over the curb and he hopped out of the car so Molly and Alex could get their bags. Their dad also wished them a very Merry Christmas and he said he would see them in Philadelphia. | I think that Alex’s dad was just dating Megan Wheeler before he found out about Alex’s mom dating someone else. I believe that Alex’s dad proposed to Megan after Alex told his father about his mom dating someone. I think that Alex’s dad was trying to make Alex and Molly’s mom jealous, but he didn’t make her the slightest bit jealous. By the way the book described Megan Wheeler, it sounds like she is just marrying Alex’s dad for his money. Molly and Alex were very upset because they could tell that she wasn’t very nice and they didn't want their father to move on. Another inference that I have is the fact that Molly and Alex are very mad at their father. | 10 | The kind of person that would like this book are people that enjoy miracles happening. The “miracle” is when Wakefield (a jerk on the basketball team) swishes a basket to win the title. Alex, who hated Wakefield, was probably the happiest for him. Alex was so nervous when he passed the ball to Wakefield but Alex and all the Chester Heights fans believed in Wakefield so he had confidence. Another miracle is the fact that Alex got a kiss from Christine, Coach Archer and Linda (Alex’s mom) were both happy as well. |
105 | 3/10/2020 14:05:27 | 604 | Sadie | Binkley | Fast Brek | 2/9/2020 | 2/17/2020 | Thirty-six seconds left. Just enough so that the thirty-five second shot clock was still in play. Moreland East couldn’t run out the clock. But they could milk it as much as they could, setting up what they hoped would be their last basket. There’s only thirty-six seconds left. Just enough time so the thirty-five second shot clock still stands. The okay news was that Moreland East wouldn’t run out the clock. The only problem was that Moreland East would run out as much time as they could. Moreland also hoped to set up the last basketball of the game. Jayson knew something, though. He knew where the ball would eventually travel, in Ty’s hands. With ten seconds left on the shot clock, the ball went to Ty, who had no intention of letting it go again. Jayson had a plan and that was to make Ty think he was in total control. Jayson knew what was going on. He knew where the ball would eventually end up, in Tyrease’s hand. With only ten seconds left on the shot clock, the ball finally traveled over to Ty, who had no reason to pass the ball again. Jayson had an idea, part of that was to make Ty think he was in total control. Wait for it. Shot clock down to five, the game to six. Ty crouched just a little, dribbled the ball just a little harder, ready to move. Now. Jayson flicked the ball out of his hand. Jayson reached for the loose ball one step ahead of Ty and took off. He kept going all the way to the hoop, where he laid the ball in. Horn sounded. Final. Belmont 57, Moreland 56. | My inference is that Jayson is trying to stay calm and he is thinking of a strategy. In the second paragraph he’s making a plan and at the end of the paragraph he finds out the perfect plan to win the game. I can also infer that Moreland thought that they had won the game, but Jayson stunned everyone! At first Jayson was having a rough game, so it was great for Jayson to score the winning basket and it also made the book have a major happy moment. | 9 | The kind of person that would enjoy this book is someone who enjoys reading about kids dreams coming true. In Fast Break, Jayson is a boy who lost his mom due to drugs. His one dream is to play at Cameron Indoor Arena. One day Jayson gets caught for stealing a pair of brand new basketball shoes, so he has to go live with the Lawtons who try to keep him from stealing and other bad things. Since the Lawtons live across, he has to go to a new school and more importantly a new basketball team. Through-out the season Jayson faces several challenges like adapting to his new home and private school. Jayson learned how to play like a real team player, how to make friends, and most importantly how to talk to girls. Then the big game was just about to start, this game was vs. Moreland East (his old school). Close game all the way through but it came down to Belmont winning. Jayson finally got his wish, to play at Cameron Indoor Stadium. |

As I leaned back against the wall, with my fingers clasped together below my waist, she planted one of her boots in my hands, grabbed my shoulder, and boosted herself up. Matt makes a much better stepladder, but I was trying. She fiddled briefly with the exit sign, then jumped down and landed as quietly as a cat. I shook out my fingers.” Thankfully, Ava doesn’t weigh very much. Her feet are long and skinny. As I leaned against the wall, with my fingers interlocked beneath my waist, she firmly put one of her boots in my hand, gripped my shoulder, and boosted herself up. Matt makes a way better stepladder, but I was still trying. She messed around with the sign for a few seconds, and then she dropped down so quietly you could hear a pin drop. I shook my hands so my fingers wouldn’t be interlocked anymore. “Ava pressed something that looked like a small black golf ball against one side of the sign. There was what looked to be a tiny glass circle on the middle of the sign, probably the size of my index finger, which was facing Anna’s doorway. “Is that a lens” I asked “that’s a stickycam” she said she whispered as if she was trying to make me go away.” “She’d pressed the black golf ball up against one side of the sign. A small glass circle in the middle, about as big as the tip of my index finger, was facing Anna’s door.” “Is that a lens?” “That’s my stickycam,” she whispered hurrying me away.” “We stopped and hid around the next corner.” “I’ve told you about it, right?” “I shook my head. She might have; sometimes my brain shuts down when my siblings talk about their ideas and inventions.” “Really? Huh. Well, it’s not entirely mine. Someone sent Hank a few of these little spherical video cameras. The idea was to roll them into a room to get a view of the interior before you enter.” We ended up stopping at the corner up ahead and hid. “I’ve told you about this right?” I shook my head no. She probably did; “Sometimes my brain shuts off when my siblings start talking about their inventions and ideas.” “Really? Suuure” “it’s not completely my idea. Someone also sent Hank some of these little video cameras too. The original idea was to roll the cameras into the room so you could see the inside before you enter” | I think Ava put the camera on the sign that was facing Anna’s room because. Anna went missing and some of her science work got stolen and Ava and Jack think someone took her and some of her science work. I also think Jack and Ava use these cameras so they could see the possible suspect that took Anna’s science work and her. | 10 | Someone that likes science books would like this book. They would like this book, because this book is about sciency stuff like robots, small video cameras, and other stuff. |

I had to find something. But I don’t know what? I gotta keep walking from her. Then I heard a snap. I turned around. My heart was beating so loud and fast I could hear it. A shadow moved between the trees. The flash of teeth. Of glowing white eyes. I slowly turned around to see what was behind me. My heart was going crazy practically beating out of my chest. I saw a shadow go back and forth through trees. I saw a flash of teeth. Then I saw white glowing eyes. I ran. I ran, and she ran after me. I could hear her now, crashing through trees. Calling out. Calling my name. “Joiseee. Joiseee” I saw her and I ran and ran till i couldn’t breathe anymore. When I ran she chased me. I could hear her running through the trees step after step. She called out my name. Joiseee. Joiseee. | It happened because Josie this girl moved to her grandma’s house with her sister and mom. Josie didn’t want to move there. Josie used to live in Chicago so it was hard for her. Josie’s grandma had three wired rules. One rule was, never leave your window open. Two was, no dolls in the house. Three was, never ever go by the house in the woods. Josie kept hearing things and so did her sister, Anna. Josie had heard things when she was in her room trying to go to sleep. Anna had heard things too so she went to Josie’s room and asked to sleep in there. Josie hadn’t gotten any sleep. But Josie did have a dream about someone chasing her in the woods.

Then turned to the parliamentarian and asked what options they now had. “ I suggest imprisonment for a year until his immunity runs out”. Xenocrates looked at scythe Anastasia in disbelief. Suddenly released a guffaw that he tried to restrain but failed to do so. “Devious and Skillful” Xenocrates said “you’ll do good with us”. He turned to the parliamentarian to see what they could do with Rowan now. “ I would suggest putting him in custody till his immunity fades”. “Is there still such a place where a person could be officially imprisoned”? Asked one of the other scythes. Then scythes around the assembly hall began to shout suggestions, some even offering to take Rowan in under house arrest, which could be good or bad depending on their motive. As it began to devolve into a debate over Rowan’s immediate future, Citra leaned in to him and whispered. “There's a tray of knives and a car waiting for you at the east exit.” Then she leaned away, leaving his future firmly in his own hands. He thought he could not be more impressed by her. She had just proved him wrong. “I love you’’ he said. “ Same here “ she responded “ Now get lost”. “ Is there a way to insure his custody?” said one of the scythes. The scythes began to yell out ideas on what to do with Rowan. A couple scythes even said they would take him in on house arrest. That could be great or terrible depending on what side they're on. As it had become a debate on Rowan’s soon future, Citra whispered “ There is a platter of knives and a car outside of the east exit”. Then she leaned away, putting Rowan’s future in his own hands. He was in shock of how impressed he was. He was just proved wrong by her. “ I love you” he said “ love you too” Citra said “now go on”. He was a wonder to watch. He took three blades from the tray and somehow managed to wield them all. Scythe Anastasia made no move to stop him-but even if she had, it would have been no use. He was too quick. He hurled himself like a fireball down the center aisle. The scythes closest to him leaped into action , trying to stop him, but he kicked and spun, and sliced and flipped. No one could get a hand on him.To scythe Anastasia he seemed some deadly force of nature. Of the scythes in his way, the lucky ones only had their robes sliced. The less lucky ones found themselves with wounds they never even saw inflicted. One-scythe Emerson, she believed - would be requiring a trip to the revival center. It was a wonder to see. He took the blades and in all wielded three at the same time. Citra didn’t move to stop him even if she had he was too fast. He was like a fireball flying down the aisle. The scythes on the end tried to stop him but he kicked and sliced them as he spun around. No one got a hand on him. To Citra he was like a deadly force. The lucky scythes just got their robes cut and the others had wounds that they never saw happen. One- scythe Emerson, believed that she had to go to the nearest revival center. | The last paragraph, T think because Rowan had to get away and there was only one way out. Even Citra helped so he had a car to get in when he got out of there. He was great at getting away and I think he was properly trained for this kind of stuff. That was my inference on why it happened. | 10 | My opinion of Scythe is 9 out of 10. If you like books that are in the future it is based in the year after 2099. But it is said that a bunch of this happened in the year 2042 ( we will be alive then ) . so it is somewhat about gleaning people ( killing people) because they conquered death and to keep the population under control they have to glean people. My rating is 9 out of 10. |

Chase said wow they haven't had lunch together for a while. But he sees that she still likes pizza. Ick said that it is so weird that Chase knows so much about her but she doesn’t know anything about him. Chase said sorry he’ll try to stop creeping her out. She shrugged her shoulders and said listen. She waved her handover her comic books and science fiction book. On the table between them. Ick has a few therous of what's going on here. | I think everybody forgot to chase because everybody had amnesia. Because chase kept talking about everybody having amnesia.

You have an extremely large heart.” The next boy must not have a real name so Mr. Pendanski and X-Ray decided to call him Zero even though Zero claims that he was called that before he arrived at Camp Green Lake. “You might now understand why we call him Zero.” Mr Pendanski said. “Well we call him Zero because he doesn't know nothin’, there’s nothing in his head.” Joked Mr. Pendanski. Original Paragraphs: “It ain’t just a nickname,” X-Ray told Mr. Pendanski. He tapped the rim of his glasses. “I can see inside you, Mom. You’ve got a big fat heart” The last boy either didn’t have a real name or else he didn’t have a nickname. Both Mr. Pendanski and X-Ray called him Zero. “You know why his name’s Zero?” asked Mr. Pendanski. “Because there’s nothing inside his head.” He smiled and playfully shook Zero’s shoulder. | The three paragraphs I just wrote occurred when Stanley first arrived at Camp Green Lake and he was being introduced to everyone. I believe the other boys at camp were being so hostile towards Stanley because he was the “new guy” and I strongly believe that they will keep that sort of hostility towards Stanley all the way until he is released from the camp. | 10 | Any person who enjoys reading a really cool book in which shows you what Stanley's family and relatives had to go through a long time ago and the people they met. Like for example, the camp Stanley goes to used to be a beautiful late but it dried up with the intense heat. Anyone who would like to read about a description of a realistic camp that people could choose to go to instead of jail. |
116 | 3/12/2020 8:20:35 | 604 | Rylie | Hunley | Pay it Forward | 3/11/2020 | 3/12/2020 | Original paragraphs: At his former school, in Cincinnati, Reuben had a friend named Louis Tartaglia. Lou had a special way of addressing an unfamiliar class. He would enter, on that first morning, with a yardstick in his hand. Walk right into the flap and fray. They like to test a teacher, you see, at first. He would ask for silence, which he never received on the first request. After counting to three. He would bring this yardstick up over his head and smack it down on the desktop in such a way that it would break in two. The free half would fly up into the air behind him, hit the blackboard, and clatter on the floor. Then, in the audible silence to follow, he would say, simply, “Thank you.” And he’d have no trouble with the class after that. Reuben warned him that someday a piece would fly in the wrong direction and hit a student, causing a world of problems, but it had worked as planned, so far as he knew. “It boils down to unpredictability,” Lou explained. “Once they see you as unpredictable, you hold the cards.” Re-written paragraphs: At Reuben’s old school, he had an old friend. The friend’s name was Louis Tartaglia. Louis had his very own way to get the attention of the class. He brought a yardstick to class every morning, He would ask the class to quiet down, they never did. When they refused to get quiet, Louis would smack the desk in front of him with his yardstick. He hit the desk so hard that the yardstick snapped into pieces. The pieces of the yardstick would often fly up into the air and hit the floor loudly. The class gets really quiet after that and there are never any other issues. Reuben told him that he might hit someone while breaking the yardstick if the pieces continue to fly into the air. That would create a huge problem if the stick hurt a student. That never stopped Louis from cracking his yardsticks on the desktops. He always gets lucky enough that the pieces never hit anyone. “It all comes down to unpredictability” is what Louis always said. “Once they can’t tell what is going to come next, the world is in your hands,” says Louis. | I believe that when Reuben was asked to do a random act of kindness was a major event in this book. I think this because it changed a lot of the character’s lives in the book. It was a huge part in the book when he asked people to pass it on because more kindness would be spread and it would get around faster. The little acts of kindness Reuben performed inspired the other characters to do so as well. Passing the kindness on was believed to help people’s moods and make them want to spread the happiness to the people around them. I think they chose to have Reuben spread the kindness was because the judges knew that he always tries to be kind to others and he makes people happy without even knowing. The judges believed that Reuben was a good person to use in spreading kindness and positivity. | 8 | I think that anyone who believes that kindness is the best thing you can possibly spread would like this book. In the book they talk about someone who chooses to do random acts of kindness and he asks the people he is being kind to to pass on the kindness. Pretty much anyone who likes to read about people making a difference in their neighborhood or even in their city. It’s a book on what a kid does to pass on the kindness to people who need it. |
117 | 3/2/2020 9:17:04 | 604 | cayden | jinks | under there skin | 2/3/2020 | 3/2/2020 | Before the book I have a mom who is very nice. And I have a twin brother and his name is Jaxon and we live in a house with a whole bunch of nabors. I also don't have very many friends. Except for my brother. My brother is very nice and he is the same age as me. But we don’t have a dad he died. Me and my brother since we are twins we like can kind of reed each other's minds like when i think he is going to say something that he will regret i kick him so he doesn't say it. Me and my brother are also eavesdroppers. So we overheard my mom say that she is planning on getting married again and i don't like that so when we was on the way to the store i confronted here and she said that she is a very nice guy and he was the owner of a compiney but I don't care I still did not like that Idea. so i did a little more eavesdropping and i found out he has kids. During the book/ So i just found out that the person my mom is going to marry is working for some top sarkit fosilite and my mom acts like she is hiding something and i don't know what. I Asked here about my stepdads kids and she said she could not say anything so when she left me and my brother went over to over step dads house. And when we got there we heard someone talking and so we looked through the window and saw my stepdads kids and the boy was acting strange and he started smoking and some woman lifted up his shirt and popped open his and a whole bunch of wires popped out. So that is when I found out that they were robots and that there step dad was too. So when mom came home I told her what I saw and she said that she was a robot too. And she told me that every one that was above the age of 12 was turned in to a robot and i was 11. So then I found out that my step dad was the one who turns you in to one. After the book/ So I just found out what realy happend to humans the robots kiled them and then turned evrey one in to one of them and my mom said that that was knot true and then she started to walk tord me. Then she sead that I could join them. So I sad no and they started coming at me. And So I started runing and then i got traped. Because the other robots started coming at me. So I had to come up with a way to kill them and so me and my brother remberd how to shut them down. By pushing the buton on there stomack and shuting them down. So we shut all them down and contacted all the other non robots to help us fight and take down all the other robots. | The main chairctor did seem belevibol to me because she had evidence. The main chaircter is like my cuzin because before they do inything he gets evidence. And so dos the main chairtor she makes that what she is going to say is true and she makes shure by geting evidence from the pirson here/his self. One time she put a cup up tp a door and heard what there pairents where talking about and that is the exact same thing my kuzon doze. So that is why the main chairtor is belevibol to me. | 10 | The kind of pirson that would like this book is a pirson that likes klif hangers this book has a lot of them. And it gets you thanking that somthing is going to happen but it is a compleatly difrent thing then what you thank is going to happen. |

I was eighteen this place would be hard time Especially since I was considered a problem case and an escape risk. But I figured I could Handle it. I'D already done two years in the Pinson BOys home. Besides I didn’t plan on sticking around long. There as two places a ward of the state could go after prison. Live oak or hellenweler. Everybody body talked about river oak like it was the best place ever. Know one talked about hellwenweler because want’s there in there they never come out. Hellenweler is fore the bad and unrolly kids and I was both of them so thats why they took me there because that was the definiton of me. I was 6 months late because thats how long it took them to ketch me. That did knot help my case because that just got me in there but my dad hired a lawer and as long as I did knot get in truble when I was in there And my dad stopt doing drinking I could get out of there. I shufled towerd the gard tower and they had me all locked up in chains that keep me from running and at the same time brused my ankles. At a distance I heard the chartch bell witch was sopost to be the end of the week but it felt like the End of the week but it always feels like the begnning to me. As I walked the gard said knot to pass the red line. So then he spraed me with some kimicol to make sure I was ok to go in and they had to check to see if i had any thing on me. Aganist the opposite wall were four stools the same number of electric razors hanging overhead. Another door exited the rear of the room. /what was in the book/ Late sunday morning officer pete dalivered me in chains to the hellenweiler boys home in tuscaloose alabama in till i was eighteen and this place would be hard time. Expecially since i was considered a problem case and an escape risk. But I figerd I could handle it. Id aleredy done two years in the pinson boys home. Becides I didn’t plane on sticking around long. There where two places a ward of the state could go after pinson live oak or hellenewler. Everybody talked about river oak like it was a vacation. Nobody talked about hellewler it was fore the repeated offenders and trubled kids. I was both and I knew for a long time that live oak was knot the place i was going. The only reason i was 6 months late is because that’s how long it took them to ketch me after my excape. And the only reason they caught me is because i let them because a frind needed help a frind but then I was in here and he was out there. I was know longer the bigest badest boy there I was a knew fish. As i shuffled towerd the gard tower i was locked up in chains and the chans made my ankels heart and restriced my steps. As i walked i felt a harabol tast in my mouth and a bad smell in my nose. As i walked The gard told me to stop at the red line and i did. As i was standing they told me to go in to a stol so they spread me with cimicol that cleaned me to make i did knot have any deses /In my one words/ | The kid went to a boys home because he was unrolly and did knot know how to stay out of truble. And his dad had a drinking problem so that is one reason. By how mutch time he got in there id say he got warend sevrail times. And still did knot what he was sopost to do. Also when they was trying to get him he ran from them every day he was gon was just adding on to his time and he was gone fore 6 months so that did knot help his case. | 10 | A kind of pirson that would like this is a pirson that likes when a book dose knot make since at the begning of a book so you cant stop reading it and when you get in the middle of the book you start to find out what is happning so then it starts to make since and then wants you start reeding yiu cant stop because you want to find out what is going to happen next. |

We will just wait. There was a big crash and a window of the market broke into pieces. A noise went on in the crowd let me and Brett out my mom ordered I pushed down on the brakes. They both got out of the car and they sprinted toward the crowd. They were pushing and shoving their way inside. They were gone and I couldn't see them. I can feel the panic from here. Drive herb said I'm not going anywhere. your not put your car among the other cars then lock it. (REAL)Pull in my mother ordered. I cranked the wheel and we motored into the parking lot. Crowds this big make me nervous well just stop and- There was a tremendous crash and the front window of the supermarket shattered into a million pieces. A roar went up from the crowd as it surged forward. Let us out my mother ordered and I slammed on the brakes. My mother and Brett jumped out. The two of them rushed toward the mob which was pushing and shoving its way through the opening where the window had been. I watched mom and Brett disappear into the store I could almost feel the chaos from here things were out of control. | I think people were starting to get mad so they started to break stuff. People wanted to start taking a stand for the power back. It has been a long time since the power was on. So people are hungry, thirsty and tired. They don't know when the power is coming back on so they need to stack up on food and water. | 10 | Someone who would like this book would be a fiction survival kind of person.

120 | 3/6/2020 9:11:00 | 604 | Max | Karshner | Fast Break | 1/9/2020 | 2/21/2020 | Jayson’s heart was pounding with fear. He was still telling himself to not hurry when really all he wanted to do was run. When he got outside, he decided to pull his sweatpants down over his new extremely white shoes so you couldn't tell they were new. Once he made the turn at the corner, he was going to run. He was going to use all of his speed whenever he needed it the most. Once he started to go a little faster, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He heard a man’s voice say “Where do you think you’re going, son?” The man was tall with white hair. Jayson looked down at the man’s shirt and it said “Foot Locker” on the front and underneath that it said “manager”. Jayson made up a lie and told the man that he was looking for his mom. He didn't buy it. Jayson looked up at him and thought he looked familiar. The man thought Jayson looked familiar too. The man asked “do I know you?” Jason quickly looked back down. “No.” The man said. “ Yeah, I do know you! My team played against you in summer ball in Moreland east last year. Nobody forgets a kid who can play like you.” Jayson didn’t know what to say. “We're going to go back to the store now, then we are going to figure out what to do with you.” the man said. Jayson was about to make a run for it, but the man had his shoulder on Jayson the whole way down the street. He couldn't do anything now that the man knew who he was. Jayson wanted to cry, but he didn’t want to cry in front of this grown man. When they got to the store, Jayson knew he was walking right in to the Child Protective Services system. He didn’t know what was about to happen or where he was headed, but he knew it was all over. Original paragraphs Jayson walked left, heart pounding, still telling himself not to hurry when what he really wanted to do was run. The one thing he’d stopped to once he got outside was pull down his sweatpants so they’d cover the white of the new sneakers, which he imagined were brighter than headlights on a car. Once he made the left at the corner, then he was going to run, to use his speed when he needed it the most. Almost there. That’s when he felt a large hand clamp down on his shoulder. “Where do you think you're going, son?” a man’s voice said. Jayson turned around to find a tall white-haired man. He wasn’t wearing a striped shirt, just a short-sleeved one that said “Foot Locker” on the front, and underneath that, “Manager.” “I was just looking for my mom,” Jayson said. “She was supposed to meet me here.” “Look at me,” the man said. Jayson looked up. “Don’t lie to me,” the man said. “It's the truth!” Jayson said. “Don’t make it worse, son.” Staring at him now. “Do I know you?” Jayson looked back down. “No.” “Wait . . . I do know you. My team played a game against you in summer ball over in Moreland last year. Nobody forgets a kid who can play like you.” Jayson had nothing to say to that. “We’re going to take a walk back to the store now,” the man said. “And when we get there, we do need to find your mom and figure out what to do about those sneakers you just tried to steal.” Jayson thought about breaking loose, making a run for it. But it was too late for that, especially now that the man knew who he was. | I think the reason Jayson stole the shoes is because he didn’t want his coach to be suspicious about his small shoes with holes in them. When Jayson’s team was practicing, his coach questioned his home life after looking down at Jayson’s shoes. Jayson didn’t really like that so I think he wanted his coach to see his new shoes and not ask anymore questions. He has been living at home by himself for a while because his mom died from drugs and her boyfriend left after she died. He has been keeping it a secret for a while now, but he doesn't want to be a foster kid whatsoever. Even though Jayson knew stealing was a bad idea, he didn’t really have a choice. It was either steal, or be a foster kid. | 10 | I think anyone who is into the game of basketball would love this book. It gives every detail of the game like you're listening to the radio or watching a game on TV. I also love how it gives most of the detail to his personal life as well. It’s so interesting and you can’t wait to turn the page and figure out what happens next in the game, or at home in the life of the main character. This book is so good and I would recommend it to pretty much anyone. I loved it and I can't wait to read more books like this! |

By about two months I started to make money and some of my work was even being bought by Art Museums. I was so proud of myself. One day while I was out selling my painting, a man in a tan suit approached one of my paintings and started looking at it. He came up to me and said “ Are you Mrs. West, the woman who has made these beautiful paintings?”. I was shocked I’ve never been approached like that, but I said “ Yes, I am Diane the one who created these paintings Mr.?”. He told me his name was Richard and we started talking. A few minutes later Richard asked me if I was hungry, and I’ve been busy all day, so of course I was. So Richard took me out to eat and we enjoyed ourselves. After that day we became friends. We started dating, and from that it went on. One day Richard asked if I liked picnics and I love picnics.

At the edge of the forest, where the tall trees gave over to hunching bracken, I didn’t delay and I didn’t look back. The wildlands buzzed with peculiar sounds: the hooting of birds, the braying of beasts. Tiny insects hummed in clouds and the grass hissed under the winds. I didn’t stop when I heard the shriek. At the edge of the forest, where the tall trees gave over to hunching plants, I didn’t slow down and I didn’t glance back. The wildlands buzzed with odd sounds: the call of birds, the roars of beasts. Tiny insects hummed in clouds and the grass hissed under the wind. | Isla( the main character) is on a search for her missing brother, Pirie. In book one she was running from the Taken ( a group of foxes who bend Foxcraft), which were fighting Siffrin( a fox that helps the Elders). But in book one it just ended as she was running. When I started book two she was still running, then she heard the shriek, but she didn't stop running. She didn’t want to delay nor look back. I think the reason why she didn’t want to look back or delay is because, She could have seen a broken rose( the mark of the Taken) on Siffrin’s back leg, which if she did, it means he’s part of the Taken. | 10 | Someone who would like this book, would probably like animals or foxes, magic, fantasies, and a little bit of sadness in books. In my opinion the whole series of Foxcraft is a good series. There’s three books in the series as far as I know. But it’s a really good series of books, one of the best I've read in a long time. Even my little brother likes the first book, and that's a lot coming from my little brother. |

You can't crumble when others are counting on you.” “And If there are other portals,” Dad said slowly, thinking it through, “It'd be like a combination lock. Every new portal would make the number of possible worlds she could have gone to increase exponentially.” There was a leather jacket, a beret, a sheathed knife, a belt of rifle cartridges.

125 | 3/6/2020 9:25:05 | 604 | Claire | King | INSIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF A CACTUS | 1/20/0020 | 2/18/0020 | Original paragraphs When I started kindergarten, the kids were a little weirded out by my lack of armage. I got asked just about everyday what happened to my arms, as well as a billion other silly questions- like how do I make farting noises with my armpits. And how do I play dress-up which I tried showing them and ended up with a puffy pink tutu thing stuck around my head for about 5 minutes before the teacher finally noticed and helped me pull it down to my waist. I got so tired of telling them the same boring story about being born without arms that I started making stuff up. It was stinking hilarious. I knew from the moment I told a girl my arms got burned off in a fire, I had found a great hobby: making up stories! I loved the way her eyes grew wide with shock and her voice went all high pitched with excitement as she asked a bunch more questions about my charred arms. So I kind of traumatized her and had to have a meeting with my parents and teacher later about my story. My parents squinted their eyes and pursed their lips and nodded their heads as the teacher told them.- I had never seen such serious looks on my parents faces before, like they were concentrating so hard on being serious, their heads might explode if they blinked. They said seriously they would talk to me about it and shook the teachers hand seriously and gave me serious looks as we walked seriously out of school. But I could tell they weren’t mad because all the way home one of them would softly snort and then the other would giggle and then the other would shake from laughing but trying not to laugh out loud and on and on like that all the way home. They later told me to be truthful so that I don’t upset any other kids. And I did for a long time. But then one day in 5th grade, we had a new kid come to our school. When I sat down at lunch down at lunch with this kid, he said “ Whoa! What happened to your arms?” All my friends were looking at me, and what can I say? It exploded out of me like an overfilled water balloon. I told him this crazy story of how I had rescued a puppy that had been tied to the train tracks just in time before a train nearly ran over it- Just in time for the puppy...But not for my poor, flattened arms. You should have seen the look on that kids face, priceless. My best friend, Emily, burst out laughing and my friend Kayla spit chocolate milk across the table. The new kid realized it was a joke and started laughing, too. Pretty soon everyone was constantly asking me, “ Hey, Aven! Where did your arms go?” And I would have a new story to tell. Over time my stories got more and more ridiculous. I grew up with those kids. I never felt out of place or anything like that. My armlessness wasn't strange or weird to them because I had always gone to the same school. I never imagined my parents would make me leave. I never thought they would make me move all the way to Arizona and go to a new school after starting 8th grade. Rewritten When I was in kindergarten, all of the kids were kind of scared that I didn’t have any arms. I got asked all the time what happend to my arms or a bunch of other dumb questions. I got really tired of telling them the same story. So I started making up stuff. That was going to be my new hobby! Once I told a girl that my arms got burned off in a fire in Tanzania! She asked how old I was and I told her I was a helpless baby. I had scared her way to bad and had to have a meeting with my teacher and parents. I thought they were really mad because they were frowning the whole time. But when we got into the car they started cracking up laughing. When we got home they told me to tell the truth from now-on. Then in 5th grade there was a new kid. [I had gone to the same school since kindergarten], So everyone knew I was born without arms. So when I sat down next to him, he asked what happened to my arms. So I told him a ridiculous story of how I saved a puppy from a train, but my arms got squashed off! My friends started laughing so hard they spit out their food! So from then-on people would ask me what happened to my arms , so that they could hear a crazy story. All of them new it was fake though, because I would come up with a new one every time. I never thought my parents would make me move states and move schools! | In the 3 paragraphs I wrote about, It said “ When I started kindergarten, the kids were a little weirded out by my lack of armage.” The inference I made was that this character probably doesn't have any arms, or the character has only one arm. A second inference I could make was in the 1st chapter 2nd to last paragraph it said “ I never imagined my parents would make leave. I never thought they would make me move all the way to Arizona and go to a new school right after starting 8th grade.” My inference to this paragraph is that she probably doesn't live in Arizona. It also was that she like her home a lot and didn’t want to leave. I could also tell that this was going to be a good book just by this paragraph! | 10 | I loved this book! One thing I really liked about this book was that it is written in first person. I also liked how there was a lot of adventure and mystery. In the book Aven found a shed with 7 Do Not Enter signs on it! But of course she found a key and opened the door. Later in the book she found a picture that looked exactly like her but with arms. Then she found out that that was her real mom! [she was adopted]. If you like action and suspense then I would read this book! |
126 | 3/12/2020 6:27:27 | 604 | Claire | King | The Fallout | 3/1/2020 | 3/9/2020 | Original I saw Eddy hold out his hand for Lucas ,so I pushed Cara in the stroller. Following the signs that said CAFE`. I stood in line behind Lee, who turned around to ask us what we wanted. Lee said he’d stay in line, so Eddy and I took Lucas and Cara to sit down at a table. Lucas asked, “Where’s the bathroom?” I stood up “Come on.” The bathroom wasn’t far-down a short hallway- and no one was inside. Lucas went into a stall and shut the door. I heard it lock. “You okay in there?” I asked. “ Yes.” My cell phone rang. Eddy. “Yeah?” “Cara is sick. She took a drink of her apple juice and threw it back up. Along with her breakfast. Oh Gosh…” “seriously?” I sighed “ Well, clean her up and I’ll be out in a minute.” “Dude, can you come now? This is gross.” “And it’s gonna be less gross for me?” I sighed “Lucas, you almost done?” His voice echoed in the stall “ No!” I sighed. “Eddy, you’ve got to come in here and wait for Lucas.” “Lucas stay there. Eddy’s coming in, okay?” “ Yes.” I jogged back out to the table, which was a mess. Cara had thrown up not only her apple juice, but her french toast she’d had at home for breakfast. Lee was holding his hand over his mouth and was facing away from her. He shook his head at me. “Sorry. Sympathetic puker.” I wanted to groan. “That's fine. I’ll clean this up and then we better get her home.” I heard an electronic beeping from the direction of the hallway. It wasn’t loud enough to be a fire alarm, just loud enough to be annoying, so I ignored it and started in with the paper towels. Eddy was still standing there. I frowned “Go get Lucas.” “Sorry.” He turned and left. I cleaned up Cara and put her in the stroller. Our food had come by then, and Lee had it in bags so we could take it with us. Although eating was the last thing on my mind. At the edge of my vision, I saw Eddy come back. “Ready to go?” “He wasn’t there.” I turned to face him and noticed he was alone. “What?” Eddy’s eyes were wide and he nearly spat out the words, “He wasn’t in there. Lucas is gone.” Rewritten Eddy held out his hand for Lucas, So I took Cara in the stroller. Following the signs that said CAFE`. As I stood in line, Lee asked what we all wanted to eat. Eddy and I took Lucas and Cara to go sit down. Lucas said “Can I go to the bathroom?” I got up “I’ll take you.” The bathroom was down a hallway and nobody was in there. Lucas went to a stall and locked the door. “You good?” I asked “Yep.” My phone rang.Eddy. “Hey” “Cara just got sick, she took a drink and threw it up, oh my gosh…Her breakfast too!” “Great, just get her cleaned up a little and I’ll come in a second.” “Please come now, I don’t want to do this by myself.” “Neither do I!” I took a long deep breath “Lucas are you done?” His voice was loud “NO!” “OK, Eddy come and wait on Lucas. Lucas please stay here until Eddy gets here, k?” “OK.” I walked back out to the table, Cara didn’t just throw up her drink, She also threw up her french toast. I wanted to cry. “I’ll clean this up and we should get her home.” While I was cleaning I heard a beeping sound coming from the hallway, that leads to the bathroom. It was so annoying! Eddy was just standing there watching. “Can you please go get Lucas?” “Oh yeah, sorry.” I could see Eddy. “Alright let's go.” I can’t find him.” I stood up and couldn’t see Lucas “Wait what!” “I checked the bathroom and he wasn’t in there!” | I could make a lot of inferences about these paragraphs. The first one was when it said “I saw Eddy hold out his hand to Lucas, so I pushed Cara in the stroller.” I made an inference that Cara is probably a little kid and can’t walk great because shes in a stroller. Another one I made was that Lucas is probably little to, because he has to hold Eddy’s hand. The next sentence says “Following the signs that said CAFE`. I stood in line behind Lee who turned around and asked what we all wanted.” The inference I made to this was that they were hungry and they were Probably going to get some food from the CAFE`. I also thought that Lee must be the person that takes care of them, maybe the dad, uncle, and older cousin, or brother. | 10 | I loved this book and the series that goes with it. 1 reason that I love this book is that it is written in first person. I also like this book because it is kind of creepy, because in the book someone is following Eli [the main character] around! The first book in the series Eli's family lived in a compound because they had a crazy father who wouldn’t let them out. So now in this book they finally got out and are trying to adjust to the real world. But all of these people are following them and trying to put them on the news and in articles. If you like kind of creepy books then I would recommend this to you. I also would recommend this book to you if you like action. |
127 | 2/24/2020 11:02:30 | 604 | Austin | Kunkel | Code Of Honor | 1/22/2020 | 2/13/2020 | .Dear diary February, 2/24/2020 The kid was keeping a video of his brother on his phone. His brother got kidnapped so he keeps a video on his phone. He keeps it to remember his brother. They replayed the video one more time without sound and they figured out where his brother was going. | The character did seem real because it was talking about stuff that is realistic, the government took him in to get answers from him to find information about his brother's disappearance. Also they came from a different country so that's also why they are investigating him. | 10 | The person that likes adventure and finding clues also realistic books, that would be the person that would be interested in this book. |
128 | 3/6/2020 9:12:38 | 604 | Austin | kunkel | Prisoner-3087 | 2/10/2020 | 3/6/2020 | If he had known what the next six years of his life were going to be like, he would have eaten more. He wouldn't have complained about brushing his teeth, or taking a bath, or going to bed at eight o'clock every night. He would have played more. Laughed more. He would have hugged his parents and told them that he loves them. But he was ten years old. And he had no idea of the nightmare that was to come. None of them did. It was the beginning of September, and they all sat around the big table in the dining room of his family’s flat on Krakusa Street, eating and dr talking: to his parents, his aunts and uncles, His cousins, and him, Jakob-although everybody called him by his polish name, Yanek. The Jews must have disappeared from Europe? “‘That’s what Hitler said,” Uncle Moshe said, reaching for another pastry. ”He doesn't know how clear he could be.” He shivered. I’d heard Hitler, the German fuehrer, give speeches on the radio. Fuehrer meant “leader” in German. It was what the Germans called their president now. Hitler was always talking about the “Jewish menace” and how Germany and the rest of Europe should be “Jew free.” | All of the Jews captured and taken in prison the person who ordered teams to go and get them was Hitler a leader of the Nazi army and a cruel person. The Nazi didn't like the Jews so then they captured them and they hurt them and use them to dig for them. He had officers at each camp evil officers. The camps would have jobs and there are jobs out of the camp which keeps them from accidentally messing something up and get a punishment. | 10 | A person that likes figuring out how to escape places or likes a book that makes you feel like you are that person and the book is realistic. Those are the people that would be interested with the books that i'm reading. |
129 | 3/12/2020 9:11:13 | 604 | Austin | kunkel | ALLIES | 3/6/2020 | 3/11/2020 | Dee Carpenter’s foot slipped off the wet ladder and his stomach lurched into his throat. He scrabbled for a handhold, but the weight of his pack and his rifle dragged him down. At the same instant, a gap opened up between the huge transport ship he was leaving and the little motorboat he was supposed to be climbing into. Dee dropped like a stone toward the cold black water of the English Channel. A hand shot out and caught the pack on Dee’s back. Dee jolted, then swung into the side of the ship with a thump. “Grab On!” his friend Sid Jacobstein yelled. With shaking, frozen hands, Dee fumbled until he was clinging to the side of the ladder. “Legs up!” Sid told him. Dee pulled his feet up in time to keep them from getting crushed as the motorboat drifted back to clang against the side of the transport ship. Dee took a deep breath and closed his eyes in relief " For crying out loud, Dee, you just about killed yourself before the Germans could do it for you," Sid Said. | The war was started because Hitler didn't like Jews or Americans so then the french teamed up with the Americans and fought Hitler and his army and then soon they when the whole war of D-Day good thing they won the war. | 10 | People that would like books that have D-DAY in it or they like seeing the French and Americans work together to take down the Nazi. |
130 | 3/11/2020 9:18:16 | 604 | Austin | Lowe | Legend | 2/15/2020 | 2/25/2020 | nothing good can come out of falling for someone one the streets. That's the worst weakness you have, right up there with having a family stuck in quarantined zone or a street orphan needing you. And yet.. A part of me still wants to kiss her, no matter how cracked a move might be. This girl can point out a detail on the streets a mile away. The shutters on that bilding’s third floor the windows must've been scavenged from a rich sector. Through the morning we hunt for more opportunities to make money- native police to pickpocket, stuff into the bens to resell, unguarded pier crates to pry open and when that’s done, we will find a new spot to camp for the night. Nothing good can happen with falling in love with someone on the streets that's the worst. Right up there a weird girl is wanting you. And my dumb self still wants to kiss her. She can find a creep a mile away. And it seems like her family stole some windows from a rich person. Later right after the sun rises we walk around to find ways to make money. The police like to pickpocket people to resell and they will fake getting rid of what they stole. Then we read a newspaper and read that there was a camp so we stayed the night. | My inference is on my first paragraph. I think the only reason that he is dating the girl is because he has no body to depend on. Another thing is I think he is jealous that she has a family to hang out with. Last thing that he doesn't like is she is kinda using him to do things for her. | 8 | I think that this book is a solid 8 because I think that it should be longer. But I like what it is about. It's kinda about war. |
131 | 3/11/2020 20:40:44 | 604 | Austin | Lowe | Prodigy | 2/26/2020 | 3/12/2020 | Metias's eyes go wide with suprise and sadnes, then he vanishes along with ollie and the rest of the apartment. i'm back in the middle of the lie detector room, standing befor Dr. sadhwani as she jots down more notes. I try to stady my hands as they stay clenched and termbling at my sides. My words sound as cold as ice. Do you plan on using my brother against me for the rest of these questions? she looks away from her notes agin you saw your brother? She seems more relaxed now, and the sweet on her forehead fadded away. So they cant control what visions pop up, and they cant see what I see. But they're able to trigger some thing that forces these memories up to the surface. I keep my head high and my eyes on the doctor. Lower my guard so she'll be able to see a physical reaction when she does ask something relevant. I take a deep breath and force my self to hold it in for several seconds. They grill me about how I escaped from the patriots, what the bombing mission was for. I repeat I'd told Anden at are dinner. So far, so good the detector says I've told the truth. Metias's eyes got wide with shock. Then he dissipers with Ollie and now Im in the grey dector standing for Dr. Sadhwani as she writes down notes. she moves her head up and down when Im right. My hands are so squeezed together because Im nervous. My words dont sound too good. Are you going to use my brothers name agenst me? She looks at me you saw your brother? She seems more chill now and she stoped sweating. So they can not controll what visions pop up. But they can not see what I see. But u can fire up the thotes and the memorys.Lower the guard so she can see what Happens I take a really big breath and hold it in. They grill me about how I got out of the stinky patriots. Thats what the bombing was about. I have told Anden at the dinner. So far so good I told you I didn't lie. | My inference is on the first paragraph. Metias's eyes got wide with shock. two of the kides ran off because he is in a room where there can be only two people? or the two kides are scard of what will happen? That is what I think was happening. | 9 | I think that her books need more pages. I love what it is about and I know there is at least one more book to read from her series. There might be another one that I might not have seen. But I think it is a solid 9. |
132 | 3/12/2020 8:16:32 | 604 | Aiden | Radabaugh | The rule of three | 2/24/2020 | 3/13/2020 | Hey there," somebody called out behind us. Herb and I turned around. A group of men had broken away from the crowd and were closing in on us. They were middle-aged, and three of them were wearing suits and ties - hardly threatening-looking under normal circumstances, but this wasn't normal and there was something edgy about them. "That car runs," the largest man said. "Yep, it does," Herb said. "Look," one of the others said, "we all need a ride." The others nodded in agreement. "Everybody needs a ride today," Herb said."We have money." "We don't want your money. And we can't help you. Already got a full load. Sorry." "Gramps, I'm trying to be friendly about this," the big guy said. He took a couple steps forward and the others followed along, fanning out slightly. Each of them had an air of desperation. “First off i’m not your grandpa,” Herb said. “And second you’re not being that friendly. Please leave us alone.” “Look, old man, there’s six of us and we need your car. One way or another we’re going to Herb brushed back his jacket to reveal a pistol in a holster. | When I read these paragraphs in the book using the information in the text I thought Herb was going to kill somebody out of the six men or even shoot every single dude in the group of men. Then Nothing bad happened to anybody which I'm glad about. Also if Herb didn’t have the gun they would have been really injured or even worse. | 10 | I think people who like war books because. At the beginning it was just a power outage then people started to bomb where they lived. |
133 | 3/12/2020 9:30:02 | 604 | Aiden | Radabaugh | Girl stolen | 3/12/2020 | 3/12/2020 | Now the door slammed closed the SUV rocking a little as weight settled into the driver's seat. The engine started. The emergency brake clunked as it was released. The car jerked into reverse. There was a thousand little things that told Cheyenne something was wrong. The way the door closed did't sound like Danielle. It closed too fast and too hard. The breathing was all wrong too speed up and harsh. Cheyenne smelled the smell of cigarettes. Danielle didn't smoke and as a nurse Danielle couldn't stand anyone who did. There was no way the person driving the car was Danielle. Why would someone else get in the car? It was a Cadillac Escalade so it wasn't likely someone had just gotten confused and thought it was their car. Then Cheyenne remembered the keys were in the car. Somebody was stealing the car. Cheyenne was pretty sure they didn't know she was in it. | When I read these paragraphs I thought maybe he wasn't trying to kidnap Cheyenne and he was only trying to steal the car. Then he just kept driving with Cheyenne in the car instead he decided to kidnap her and steal the car. | 7 | A person who like mystery because. Its about a girl named Cheyenne who realizes she is being kidnapped. She couldn't see the guy who kidnapped her because. She has been blind for the last three years. |

I think people are getting on board…” The compartment door suddenly opened. It was Neville “Sorry-d’you know what is going on?-ouch-sorry” “said Harry feeling around the dark and pulling up Neville up by his cloak. “Harry is that you? What is happening? ``''No idea, sit down.” There was a loud hissing and a yelp of pain; Neville tried to sit on Crookshanks “I'm going to go and ask the driver what is going on” came Hermione's voice. Harry felt her go pass him, heard the door slide open again, and then a thud and two loud squeals of pain. Professor Lupin appeared to have woken up at last. Harry could hear movements around the corner. None of them spoke. There was a soft crackling noise. Professor Lupin appeared to be holding a handful of flames. “Stay where you are” he said in the same hoarse voice, and he got slowly to his feet with a handful of fire held out in front of him. But the door slowly opened before Lupin could reach it. Standing in the doorway, illuminated shivering flames in Lupin's hands, was a cloaked figure that towered to the ceiling. Its face was completely hidden beneath its hood. Harry's eyes downed forward, and saw what his stomach contracted. There was a hand protruding from the cloak and it was glistening, grayish slimy-looking, and scabbed, something decayed in the water. 3 rewrote paragraphs As Harry and Hermione and Ron were talking. The train had stopped. “Why has the train stopped?” said Ron scared. Hermione followed “We could not stop, we are not at Hogwarts all ready”. Ron looked outside into the pitch black sky “Guys I think I just saw something” before Harry could say anything the power had been turned off. Harry heard a bunch of kids scream in the back of the train. Ron looked out the window again but the window was turning a sad blue color. The flower in the window had just died. The train was freezing also there was a man in a dark black robe covering him. “I am going to tell the person who is driving the train what is going on,” Hermione said. Harry had felt her go pass him. Harry was trying to keep warm then he noticed a big black clawed hand. Out the window inside the train all started to look at it was opening the door. Harry can make out what it looks like better. It can float. It is wearing a black cloak and you can not see its face. “What is that thing?!” said Ron perlized. It came closer to Harry then it was sucking the soul out of Harry. Lupin woke up and casted a spell that made the thing go away. . | The reason why I think it happened is because the person who is looking for Harry to try and kill him (Or is he?). Then that made the guards from Azkaban look for him (Dementors).Because he is really a famous prisoner and he escaped. That was my inference about what happened in those three paragraphs. Because it makes since. | 10 | I think that people that like Fantasy Fiction will like this book. It is a series. So start with the first 1st book. I think they will like this book. Because it has magic in it wands spells and the dark arts. The author of this book really has an imagination for this whole book. There are 7 books. This 3rd book Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban has 435 pages. |
136 | 2/20/2020 14:08:38 | 604 | Ella | Roe | insignificant events in the life of a cactus | 2/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | In my book the girl's name is Aven. She has no arms but can do most stuff people with no arms can do. She lives in Kansas and she is adopted by two parents that really care about her like she's their own they got her when she was really little and she has long red hair. Her dad lost his job so they moved to Arizona to run a little theme park. She was really nervous for people to see her because she did not want to get made fun of but instead she made really good friends named Conner and Zion. They hung out a lot and they ate lunch together. Then Conner and Aven got into a fight they were arguing because Conner said Aven having no arms was disability but they eventually got over it. Aven also tried out for the soccer team. She made some good friends there as well. She also performed guitar at her theme park. She tried to figure out a murder there was none instead she found out who her real mom was. I was so happy. | I think when her dad lost his job I think he quit to run the theme park. Avens real grandma said she sent a guy to keep an eye on her to make sure she was doing well. She also said that the guy talked Avens dad into coming to the theme park, or he could have just got fired and it was the perfect opportunity for him to offer. | 10 | I loved this book and I strongly recommend it. It was awesome and I would love to read more books like this so I got a part two. I think my mom would really like this book because she likes books like this. |
137 | 2/26/2020 13:58:37 | 604 | Ella | Roe | The paper boat | 2/18/2020 | 2/26/2020 | Avery is a thirteen year old girl, she has a brother named henry who is three years old. Avery tried to get to the king to tell him about the dangers but ended up getting locked up in the dungeons. While Avery was in the dungeon she encountered an old woman she had told Avery that Kate had finished the mission she didn't quite know what she meant. The old woman was being removed from the cell because Avery then noticed the really old woman she was talking to was dead. After all of Avery's encounter with the old woman she was scared a guard brought her weird food a rat fell in the first bowl that she ever had. Avery found a note under the bowl, it read Take courage. He made it to the forbidden city and is bringing back someone who will make everything right. Avery got moved to the upstairs dungeon where she heard people talking about overruling the king. She needed to wait till they were gone then she yelled outside the door. She said whoever brings me ink I will try and reward them. She then received ink not too long after. Then she pulled out the paper boat and wrote the king a note then she slid it under the door. The king then tied her up and asked questions. After all that the king soon thought that Avery was his daughter and she started living royalty. | I thought she was gonna die when she got tied up. I also thought the people who were talking about the king were going to hear her screaming. I also thought that the guard who gave her the note was gonna help her escape. | 10 | I think the kind of person who would like this book is jaidine or my mom. Jaidine really likes creepy and scary stuff and the book gets kinda creepy. ithin my mom would like the royalty part. I reccommend this book a lot because it jumped into detail the second i opend it and i loved it. |

Now I've run outta time, so Kate's gonna finish the job I was s’posed to do many years ago. She’s smart and she’ll do what I say. And she knows a title and riches are hers if she succeeds.” Avery swallowed hard as the rest of her questions died.

After all of Avery's encounter with the old woman she was scared a guard brought her weird food and a rat fell in the first bowl that she ever had. Avery found a note under the bowl, it read Take courage. He made it to the forbidden city and is bringing back someone who will make everything right. What it really said. The guards hustled the women away and one slammed the door, locking it with a terrible click. As the old woman's laughter faded to silence,Avery slumped to the floor again, her thoughts a jumbled heap. So much had happened so fast from living in the children's quarters to moving into the tunnels. From the strange disappearances of several of the kids to this sudden reappearance of the old woman. Avery got moved to the upstairs dungeon where she heard people talking about overruling the king. She needed to wait till they were gone then she yelled outside the door.

Alert the kitchen staff to prea[are a banquet for tommorrow night, to which the entire court is invited. And in his most triumphant tone, he bellowed “And bring the jewls! Go now! Avery narrowed her eyes. What in the world? | I thought she was gonna die when she got tied up. I also thought the people who were talking about the king were going to hear her screaming. I also thought that the guard who gave her the note was gonna help her escape. | 10 | People who like mystries would like this book because it was very mysterious and odd i really liked it though. |

I rip open my long sleeved shirt and let it billow out behind me as thoughts zip through my mind.Knees bent. Feet first. Relax muscles. Hit with the balls of feet. Roll The ground rushes up on me. I brace myself. The impact knocks the wind out of me as I fall and hit the ground and roll four times and hit the wall Across the street. For a moment I lie there blind, completely helpless. Above me I hear voices of officers screaming for them to get outside. I run through the street and get to a manhole cover. When I go to get in it an officer says “put your hands up you're under arrest for theft, vandalism, and trespassing. When he tenses up to shoot I pull a knife out and throw it at his shoulder. He falls to the ground and I go into the sewers. When I’m in the sewers I run and I hear footsteps behind me then I take corners and I lose them and I go somewhere outside the sewers in a hidden spot. Then I start too faint and I can only hope that someone finds me as all I can do is sit there unable to move. My version: Behind me I hear the laboratory doors burst open and soldiers split out. Bullets spark around me.I swing toward the window and let go of the knife buried in the wall. I'm suddenly falling in the air down to the first floor . I Hit the ground with a thud that takes the wind out of me. I start to feel that I have sprained my ankle. I find a manhole cover and I start to crawl down inside of it. Then a soldier points his gun at me and says “ put your hands up now or I will shoot”. Then I pull out a Knife and I throw it into his shoulder and he falls to the ground as I crawl back into the sewers. As I crawl into the sewers I hear many footsteps behind me with water splashing. Then They start to catch up to me as I take a lot of corners. Then I am able to get up and close the manhole cover and put something over it so they can't get up as I run into the alley. Once around the corner I hide and I can barely even move anymore. I faint and Then I can only hope that someone I know will find me and bring me back home. Then my eyelids get heavy and Then I faint, unable to move anymore. | As I run through the streets I come across an alleyway. I go into it and then two humans pop up out of nowhere and run off into the next alley. Then there is another human that is there. She is covered in dirt with scratches and a big cut into her body and she is very skinny. I go up to her and she crawls away from me so we are the same distance again. I move closer but she keeps going away. I get closer one more time and I see that she has a lot of cuts on her. The cuts are probably infected from all the dirt she has on her. I try to get closer again but she starts to run away from me. I ran with her into another street. She tries to get up a curb and trips. I get to her and she can't crawl anymore because of how bad she hurts. When I get to her I give her water and a piece of bread. She then calms down and I try to see how badly infected her wound is. I put medical liquid on the cut and put a bandage over it. She starts to hurt but calms down when the liquid sets in. I infer that when June first arrives at the alley way they are scared. I also infer that they have been attacked by the army or someone. That's why they are running away from her because they think that she will hurt them too. Then when June starts to calm her down she realizes that June will not hurt her. I also infer that they haven't had food for a while because they are very skinny. | 10 | I think my cousin would like this book because he usually likes books about war. He would also like this book because he likes mystery. He reads books about mystery and he watches mystery shows. He also likes action so I think he would like this book a lot. |
140 | 3/10/2020 12:15:59 | 604 | Cole | Smith | Prodigy | 2/27/2020 | 3/12/2020 | Original: Kaede dresses me up in a military uniform and we walk outside. We have a plan where we have to walk down the middle of a glass tube then get in the laundry shoot without anyone seeing us so we can get inside. But June has to go around to the ground and cause a distraction with an item she can use. As I walk down the path of people crowding me I look down. Suddenly I pause “What's the problem ?” Kaede snaps. I hold up a finger. My eyes fixed on the ground, frozen on a familiar who is cutting his way through the crowd. Thomas. This Trot’s tracked us all the way from Los Angeles. He stops now and seems to question what random soldiers look like. With him is a dog so white, it stands out like a beacon from this height. I rub my eyes to make sure I’m not hallucinating. Yep, he’s still there. He continues to weave his way through the crowd, one hand on his gun at the waist. The other to an enormous white shepherd.A small line of soldiers follow him. My limbs turn numb for an instant, and suddenly I see Thomas lift his gun and pointing it at my mother, Thomas beating me to a pulp in Batalla Hall interrogation room. My vision swims in red. Kaede notices what’s holding my attention and turns her head down to the ground floor too. Her voice snaps at me back. “He’s here for June. she whispers. “ keep moving.” Immediately I begin to crawl again even though my whole body is shaking. “June?” I whisper back. I can feel my rage rising. “You guys put him of all people onto Junes trail.” “ it was for a good reason” “ And what's that?” Kaede sighs impatiently. “Thomas won’t hurt her. Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. I force myself to keep going. No choice but to trust Kaede now. Eyes forward. Keep moving. My hands tremble and I fight to steady them, to push down my hatred. The thought of Thomas putting his hands on June is more than I can bear. If I focus on that now, I won’t be able to concentrate on anything else. Stay. Calm. My version: Kaede puts me in a military officer uniform and we make up a plan that everyone agrees on. It’s for me and Kaede walk down a glass tube and we have to get in the laundry shoot without anyone seeing us. But June has to cause a distraction so all eyes go to her and not us as we are walking. As I stride down the middle of the walkway with Kaede in front of me I look to my left. I pause instantly. Kaede asks me “what’s the problem.” I look down on the ground and it feels like I can’t move my feet. I can only look at the face of a man who beat me up when I was in for interrogation. He is going through the crowd as fast as he can. Then I realize it’s Thomas. Somehow he has tracked us all the way down from Los Angeles. Suddenly he abruptly stops and starts to question all of the random soldiers. He has a very whits dog with him. It stands out so much at this height. I start to rub my eyes just to make sure I'm not just daydreaming. But after I do that he is still there. He continues to make his way through the pack of soldiers. Then he stops and he pulls his gun away from his waist and he points it at my mom. From that the only thing I can remember is Thomas beating me up in the interrogation room. It starts to where I can only see red and it feels like I am falling backwards into the void and every second it gets worse. Kaede notices me start to day dream thinking about stuff. She puts her head towards the ground and tells me “he is just here for June ''. Then my whole body just starts to shake and I can't stop it as I whisper”June.” I can only feel myself getting angrier at Thomas. “Why did they put Thomas on Junes trail out of all the people.” Kaede says “it is for the good.” I ask why. She sighs and says “Thomas won’t hurt her.” Stay calm,stay calm, stay calm. I make myself to keep going forward. I don't have any other choice but to trust Kaede. I keep my eyes forward and keep walking. My hands keep shaking but I try to get them to stop, As I try to calm down. I can barely even think about Thomas trying to put his hands on June and hurting her. | Soldiers grab my arm and pull me out. I’m instantly deafened by shouts from the crowd of onlookers and dozens of federal press reporters clicking their little square camera. When I take in the people surrounding us , I notice that in addition to those there are just people here to see me. A lot of others. They’re protesting in the streets, shouting slurs about the elector, and being dragged off by police. Several wave homemade signs over their head as guards take them away. He snaps, hurrying me along a series of steps and into a government building. Behind us, the noise fades away into the echoes of our footsteps. Ninety two seconds later we stop at a glass door. Then someone scans a thin card. Across the entry screen we step in. The lie detection room is cylinder, with a low domed roof and twelve sliver columns lining the wall. Guards strap me into a standing machine that circles my waist and wrist with metal bands. Then it presses metal rods into my neck, cheeks, palm and forehead. There are so many soldiers in the room. I infer that she got caught by the soldiers on the streets. Then when they caught her they will question her so they can get as much information from her as they can. I also infer that she is scared because how many soldiers are in the room and they way she is strapped up. I also infer that everyone that is holding up signs and stuff probably don't want June to go to jail. They probably want her to be free when they realize that she hasn't done anything wrong. | 10 | I think my cousin would like this book because he likes mystery. I also think my cousin would like this book because he likes action packed books and this has that. I also think my cousin would like this book because he likes books with a lot of detail, and this book has that. |
141 | 3/6/2020 8:54:39 | 604 | Mackenzie | Ward | You Can Call Me Worm | 1/26/2020 | 2/10/2020 | It didn’t take me long to figure out what Todd was up to. I mean, come on-here’s what he did after we got home from Pizza Hut. 1. Brought the road map in from the car and studied it when he thought no one was looking. 2. Asked mom if she’d finished washing his wool socks. 3. Told mom it was OK, he’d stay up late and put them in the dryer if she was tired. 4. Brank a cup of coffee before he went to bed. 5. Made interesting noises in his bedroom after he supposedly went to bed. I heard his closet opening. I heard something scrape the floor. I heard his dresser drawers opening and shutting. ( It’s a pretty thin wall between our rooms ) so I went downstairs and started preparing myself. Care to go to McDonald’s? No, thanks I said I’ve got to go. I was dying to know where Ricardo was going. I waited until Ricardo was out of sight. Then I climbed down the hill and crept along through the park, running from tree to tree and picnic table to picnic table. I crouched beside a dry cleaners in town. I found Ricardo fishing around in the dumpster behind McDonald’s. His arm was way down deep in the garbage, and when he pulled it out, he was holding a Big Mac box. After Todd and I split up I had to find dad’s house on my own. There were police car’s next to dad’s house. Then someone climbed out of one of the police cars, lifted a big megaphone. It was Todd he was trying to get dad to come down. I got a ladder I held it over my head and put in on the side of the house. I climbed up step by step. I told dad that I came to help him. My Paragraphs I think I know what Todd was going to do. Right after we got home from Pizza Hut. He got the map from the car and analyzed it. Then he asked if his wool socks were done in the dryer. After that he asked mom if it was ok for him to stay up late. When I was trying to sleep I heard a noise coming from Todd’s bedroom. I went downstairs to wait on him when he came down he had a big bag packed with him. Todd and I ran away to dad’s house. I found a man named Ricardo that is homeless. He is really nice. He asked me if I wanted something to eat. I said no because I don’t know who he is. I followed him as he went to town. I had to hide behind a lot so he didn't see me. When we got to town he jumped into a dumpster at McDonalds and pulled out a Big Mac box. Todd and I split up but I found dad’s house. He was on the roof and there were police cars everywhere. I saw Todd get out of one of them. I knew I had to help dad so I grabbed a ladder and snuck around the back of dad’s house. I made it to the roof Todd was yelling at dad to come down but I knew all I had to do was talk to him. | The first paragraph that I wrote about. Worm and his family got home from Pizza Hut. Worm’s brother Todd was acting a little strange. Todd was looking at road map’s, Making sure his warm socks were dry and he asked if he could stay up late. Worm thought he knew what his brother was up too. After Worm and Todd were supposed to be in bed Worm just couldn't sleep. He here stuff opening and closing in his brother's room. He thought that his brother was going to sneak out. I think that this happened because the story was about two brothers sneaking out to their dad's house. I think this was in the book to show what was going on with Worms brother. Also to give build up with what was going to happen next. I think they sunk out because they knew that they had to help their dad with what was going on in his life. | 8 | This book was a little confusing but if you're good at keeping up with lots of things this is a really good book. People that would be able to imagen what is going on would like this book too. This book tells you what worm is going through and how he feels which really helps you know what is going on in his mind. This book has one big adventure in it. But within that adventure there are many opticals. Overall I think someone that likes adventure and is able to keep up with all that happens would really enjoy this book. |
142 | 3/12/2020 8:59:42 | 604 | Mackenzie | Ward | The Lions of Little Rock | 2/10/2020 | 2/24/2020 | Original Paragraphs The next day was Tuesday, and I was meeting Liz at the rock crusher. She wasn’t there when I arrived. I waited awhile, then put my satchel on the big rock and started to climb the oak tree. It wasn’t as scary this time. If I concentrated and held on real tight, I could almost do it without counting. Almost. I was halfway up when I heard a voice call out ‘‘Hey, Marlee!’’ I was so surprised, I nearly fell out of the tree. I looked up. There was Liz, looking down at me. ‘‘Sorry,’’ she said. ‘‘ I didn’t mean to startle you.’’ ‘‘ I didn’t know you were there.’’ ‘‘ You climbed up without watching me this time.’’ ‘‘ Yeah, I guess I did.’’ Liz grinned at me. ‘‘ Bring anything to eat?’’ Liz asked. ‘‘ I’ve got some apples,’’ I said. ‘‘But I left my satchel on the rocks.’’ ‘‘Never mind,’’ Liz said. ‘‘ I’ll go get them.’’ I started to climb down. It was a long way. I was just jumping down from the lowest branch when I heard something, like someone biting into an apple. ‘‘ Hello , little mute girl.’’ Red and JT were sitting on the stone table. My satchel was open, and they were eating my apples. I was glad I was on the ground, because I suddenly felt so weak, I didn’t think I’d have been able to hold on to the branches. I wasn’t sure if they knew Liz was here or not. She was a long way up. I wasn’t sure she could hear us, but I had to warn her not to come down. ‘‘Why, JT and Red ,’’ I said, as loud as I could without yelling. ‘‘What a surprise to see you here!’’ ‘‘Where’s your friend?’’ Red asked. ‘‘ I came here by myself.’’ ‘‘Why were you up in the tree?’’ JT asked. ‘’I was looking at the view,’’ I said. Red went over to the tree and looked up. My heart started beating furiously. But the branches were thick with spring growth. “Sure there’s not anyone else up there?’’ “I think I would have seen them if there were.’’ I held my breath and willed Liz to be silent. I turned and started walking away, praying they would follow me. After a moment, they did. “I know you're a race mixer,’’ said Red. '' We'll catch you at it one of these days I didn’t say a word. I guess it made him mad that I didn’t respond, because he grabbed the satchel from my shoulder and tossed it into the forest. It took reciting all twenty-five prime numbers under one hundred, but I didn’t get angry. I didn’t say a word. I just left the path and went to get my bag. It had fallen into a little ditch, full of weeds and tree roots and ferns. On the way back on the path, I tripped on a rock and fell down. “Ow!’’ JT came over to me. “You all right, Marlee?’’ “Why do you care?’’ I asked. But he held out his hand to help me up, and I took it. That’s when we realized it wasn’t a rock I had tripped over. It was a box. An old box. Labeled dynamite. My Paragraphs On Tuesday Liz and I were meeting at the rock crusher. When I got there I didn’t see her. After I waited I put my bag on the rock and went over to the oak tree. This time I wasn't scared. As I climbed I held on to every branch. Half way up someone called my name I almost fell out of the tree. When I looked up I saw Liz.She said she didn’t mean to scare me. She told me that she was really happy that I climbed up on my own. When I got up to her she asked if I had something to eat. I told her I had some apple’s but they were in my bag that I left on the rock. She told me not to worry about them, But I went to go get them anyway. I heard something as I was jumping down from the tree. It sounded like someone biting into an apple. Red and JT were sitting on the rock. I felt weak when I saw them good thing I was on the ground because I would have fell out of the tree. I hope they didn’t know Liz was here. She was way up in the tree so I don't know if she can hear me but I somehow had to tell her not to come down. Without yelling I called out JT and Red’s name. Red asked where Liz was. I told him I was here alone. JT asked me why I was in the tree. I told him that there is a better view up there. Red walked over to the tree and looked up. Spring had just come so the branches were thick with leaves. “Positive know one else is up there?’’ Red asked. “Well I didn’t see anyone.’’ I was begging Liz not to say a word. I walked away. I really wish Red and JT would follow. Soon they did, Red called out and said that he knows I’m still friends with Liz. I didn’t say anything. That must have made him angry because he ripped my bag off my shoulder and threw it into the forest. I counted all twenty-five prime numbers below one hundred so I didn’t get mad. I went into the forest to get my bag. I found it in a ditch that had weeds and roots in it. As I was on my way back to the pathI fell over a rock. JT came over and asked if I was ok. I asked why he even cared, But he still helped me up anyway. I looked down and realized what I tripped on wasn't a rock. It was a box labeled dynamite. | When Marlee tripped over the dynamite I was surprised. I think it happened to give the book a major event. Later on in the book the dynamite becomes a really bad situation. When she said she tripped over the rock I never thought that it was dynamite. Though I really liked that it happened. It gave the book an event that could happen in real life. | 10 | This book was really good. This book would fit well with people who are shy but are trying to come out of their shell. People like that would have a lot in common with Marlee. At some points in the book it was scary. I felt like I was Marlee, which made me think about what I would do. Finding out what she did was almost what I would have done. I think you should definitely get this book. |
143 | 3/11/2020 13:43:08 | 604 | Ryleigh | Wolfe | Insignificant events in the life of a cactus | 1/14/2020 | 1/30/2020 | When I was little a kid pointed at me on the playground and shouted, “Her arm’s fell off!” Then he ran away screaming in terror to his mom, who had to cuddle him on her lap and rub his head for like ten minutes to get him to calm down. I think, up until then, i hadn’t thought about the idea that my arms must have actually fallen off at some point in my life. When I was younger a little kid pointed at me when I was playing on the playground and said, ”Her narms fell off!” The kid ran away screaming his head off balling his eyes out to his mom. His mom had to rub his head until he had calmed down. It took her about ten minutes for the kid to stop crying. I think up until then I haven’t thought about the idea that my arms must have actually have fallen off at some point in my life. I never really thought about having arms at all. My missing arms weren’t an issue for me or my parents. I never once heard either them say, “Oh no, Aven can’t possibly do that because that’s only for armed people,” or “Poor Aven is so helpless without her arms,” or “Maybe Aven can do that one day, you know if she ever grows some arms.” They always say things like, “You’ll have to do this differently from other people, but you can manage,” and “I know this is challenging. Keep trying,” and “Your capable of anything, Aven.” My arms weren’t really a problem for my parents and I. We were getting used to it. I never ever hear them say anything about my arms to hurt my feelings. Like I never heard them say that, “Aven can’t do this because people with arms can only do that,” or “Poor Aven is so helpless that she can’t possibly do that.” They normally encourage me and make me feel good about myself and I feel better when I'm around them. They normally say, ”You will have to do this a little different than others but you can do this,” or “Keep trying,” or “You got this try your best we will work on this.” I loved it when they did this because it made me feel good about myself. I never realized just how different I was until the kids shouted about my arms having fallen off. For the first time I found myself aware of my total armless, and I guess I felt like I was sort of naked all of a sudden. So I, too ran to my mom and she scooped me up and carried me away from the park, allowing my tears and snot to soak into her shirt. I just never noticed how different I am from other kids since that kid shouted about my arms. I hated that feeling when he yelled about my arms. I guess I was sorta naked all of a sudden. So I ran to my mom as well and she scooped me up and I sobbed into her shirt as well. I started crying and my snot went all over her. | I think that the kid that screamed about her arms was kinda scared because normally people are born with arms and he has never seen her before so he was shook when he saw her. To be honest if you were little and you didn’t really know what to do you probably would scream. So I think that next time you don’t need to act that way like he did not mean to. I think he was just scared because kids don’t mean to act the way they do if something pops up in their head they either say it or do it and they don’t mean it. Like he did not mean to make her cry he was scared of what would happen. Like if he was born without arms he would get it. It was the first time he saw her and did not mean to scare anybody he was just letting out how he felt. | 10 | I think that it has to be a person that can feel this characters feelings and to know how to understand how she feels. This character has a lot of traits and also her friend. They were born without arms and her friend has down syndrome. I understand this book because my cousin was born with only three fingers on his left hand and it's hard for him to do things that we can do so I kinda get it because they have a different ability. |
144 | 3/11/2020 16:42:58 | 604 | Ryleigh | Wolfe | If You're Reading This | 1/17/2020 | 2/10/2020 | My father has been dead 7 years the day his first letter arrived but before I received the messages that would change my life so much simpler it started out like any other year. Seven years has happened. My father has been dead 7 years a day is Fourth letter arrives before I receive the message that would change my life so much. tenth Started out like any of the other years. At lunch time I sat down next to Ethan Jones,”Hey Mike.” He flicked a chicken nugget with his finger. “Can you believe they feed us this crap? There's no actual food in this food.” It was then lunch time and I went into the lunchroom and sat down by Ethan Jones. He was playing with his food. Then he saw me and said,”Hey Mike.” He flicked a chicken nugget with his finger. “Yuck can you believe they feed us this crap? There's no actual food in this food, it's all nasty.” I picked up a nugget and took a bite, but chopped down one of those tiny hard pieces and spat the gristle into the napkin. “I think they are supposed to be educational.” Life is like a high school chicken nugget. I smiled.”Life is like a high school chicken nugget.” I smiled. “It can be pretty good, but you have to learn how to deal with the tough bits” As I picked up a nugget I decided to take a bite, but comped down one of those tiny hard pieces and spat the gristle into the napkin on the table. “I think this is supposed to be our life.” I smiled “It can be good until it goes bad. You have to learn how to deal with the tough bites. | I think that when they were playing with their foods that the boy was talking about when his dad died and he was sad because his journey has been different because he said you have to learn how to deal with the toughest bits. When his dad died that was tough for him because he had to live a life without a dad. When his dad died that was tough for him because his dad died in a war and the little boy was not ready for his dad to die. So I think it has been tough for him because he grew up his whole life without a dad and did not really know what was going to happen or why. Kids kinda need a dad to talk to them when they need it and to be there for them and watch them grow up and their kids. His whole life he had to be around girls and had to do stuff the way girls did. He was mainly in charge because all his mom did was hide and cry over his dad. So I think that meaning was like his life was kinda tough to live. | 8 | I think this book would be easy for everybody to read but they have to be in the mode for it and they have to have a heart. I think that anybody should get this book because it's basically on a true story. Like this little boy lost his dad and his mom is so sad she is not taking care of him. I think that anybody would get this book because everybody has to care about what would happen if a little kid lost somebody they really loved.. So the point is I think the person has to have a heart to get this book. |
