We love to read!

I know a lot of you love to read. I give you some time every morning to choose a book and read quietly for twenty minutes. I am currently reading a book called Coraline by Neil Gaiman. It is a really spooky story. They even made it into a movie! I would like for you to tell me about a book that you are currently reading. You should tell me the main character and what the story is about. Tell me what the main problem of the story is as well. You must have five to eight sentences. Remember to do 5th grade work! That means you should check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This is your professional work, so make sure you do your best. I will not post your response if there are a lot of errors or if it was poorly done. Have fun and I can't wait to hear about all of the exciting books that you are reading!

  2. I am reading a book called FEVER 1793. It is a very interesting story on the great yellow fever epidemic that happened in 1793, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This fever will only stop when the first hard frost comes and kills all the germs. The main problem is the disease, but also Maddie, the main character, is struggling to cope with the fever. She doesn’t know if her own mother is dead, or not. Maddie also watched some looters that broke into their business (a coffee shop), stole their belongings and caused her grandfather to have heart attack. Accept for the black American friend Eliza, Maddie is alone and unprotected. Maddie is only 13, so this is very hard for her. I cannot wait to see what happens in the rest of the story. MR

  3. I am reading a book called, The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
    The book is about a man who wants to sail and be a sailor, but his parents don’t think it’s a good idea because, it’s dangerous and many sailors don’t survive extreme dangerous weathers that may occur. But Robinson Crusoe doesn’t care and he precedes his adventure. When Robinson goes on his first journey he and his crewmembers head in a direction of a big storm. He is the only survivor of the shipwreck and he washes up on an island. He builds a home he finds some food and he has been living on the island for about a year. That’s just a little about the book I’m reading. HB

  4. I am reading the book called The Witches by Roald Dahl. The main character of the story is a little boy but they don't put in his name they just calls him the little boy. The main idea of the story is that the little boy goes to his grandma's house for the summer and she tell s him about witches. Now he is very scared while he is there. The main problem is that there is real witches in the town that his grandmother lives in. His grand mother also told him that all of her grandson's went missing while they were there for the summer.

  6. I am reading a book called "Big Game Hunting." It is about all different kinds of hunting. It talks about what kinds of animals you can hunt. Big game means larger animals that you can hunt, like elk, deer, bear, coyotes, not things like squirrels. This book is nonfiction, so there is no main character. It talks about making sure when you have a bow and arrow, a kisser button, a peep sight and make sure your draw length is your size. On my bow, I can adjust my draw length. I am hunting for deer with my bow this weekend.

Tee and her beagle where walking one day and Tee's dog Henry got off his leash and ran away in the woods, then Tee found Henry in the woods and he was shivering because he saw a ghost dog. It was a scary, freakish shadow. And then Tee went around Alaska and found a friend name Ouin.

  8. The name of my book is called ''The Magic Thief,'' and the book was by Sarah Prineas. My favorite character is called Connwaer, but for most of the book, the wizard that Connwaer works for simply calls him ''boy.'' He is a thief, servant, and a wizards apprentice. He picks peoples pock very quickly, he's smart, and he's fast. Connwaer's home town is collapsing and he must use all of his talents and skills to help his master defeat an evil wizard.

  9. I have been reading a book called "The Best School Year Ever" the main characters are The Herdmands they are so so so so mean to babies they steal them, and draw on their heads. They also make people pay to see (the tattooed baby).Then when the people ask to please please have their baby back (after they figure out who took it) (whitch was not that hard to figure out because everyone knows that the Herdmands steal lots and lots of different things or stuff from other people). So every time something is stolen they just assume that it is the Herdmands. It was weird when they didn't take the stroller when they stole the baby because when the Herdmans steal they steal the whole thing and lots of different things that are next to it!! Isn't that amazing**!! KF
