  My second book is Down The Rabbit Hole. I think it would be a good book because it would be about magiacla stuff. I like migian.

  Are you trying to tell us that you that you like magicians? You might need to re-think your choice if you want a book about magic. This one is a murder mystery that is connected with a theatre production of “Alice in Wonderland”. I think that you might have thought the Mad Hatter’s silhouette looked like a magician. If you need to make another choice, let me know but I think you might like this one if you give it a chance!

  A.]My second book is No More Dead Dogs. The main character is Wallace Wallace. The setting is in a school in the year,2ooo. The Main Idea is about an 8th grader name Wallace Wallace, Who never told a lie,and played The Giants. And Because he bring a bad opinon about ”Old Shep, My Pal”, His Litature Arts Teacher,Mr. Fogleman, gives him detention and has the book into a play, Which turns it into total chaos. But the more I read it, the more funnier it was.

  B.] I thought it was a very, very funny book. At first, I didn’t understand how come there were four characters being Narrators in their own chapters. But then I thought it was a pretty good book.

  My second Book is ♥Kaleidoscope Eyes♥! ^_^
  I picked this book because it caught my eyes. The vivid colors and the skull on the front. I also like the poetry formated books. The book is good so far, but all I know is the book will get even better.

  It’s interesting how we can choose a book because we like the cover, but we do. I am guilty! It does look like a great book and I hope you like it. Those cover designers really have their work cut out for them if their job is to help us get interested in a book!

  That’s how I felt when I started reading it. I was immediately drawn in. I will tell you, however, that I thought it got a little slow somewhere in the middle. If you get to that point, stick with it. I promise it will be worth it. It picked back up for me as I continued to read and I ended up really enjoying it!

  Hmmmm… vampire books, huh? I’m not surprised. Ms. Martin and Mrs. Northcutt are practically twins, and Ms. Martin is batty for vampires. (No pun intended) I’ll have to try that one, if it’s scary enough. All the horror that I’ve read so far was pretty tame… But still. Vampires are good.

  I’m reading No More Dead Dogs by Gordan Korman

  I’m reading this book because it sounded like a funny book about a fooftball player who can only tell the truth. Another reason is that I can relate to Wallace Wallace ( main character ) beacause I play football to. My last reason for reading this hilariouse book is the back cover. The back cover states the plot of the story and it makes the book sound vary funny.

  I chose The Hunger games. I’ve read it a gazillion times, but it’s still awesome. Okay, set the scene. A girl called Katniss gets her father blown to smithereens in a mine explosion. A few years later, her little sister Prim gets her name called in the reaping for the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are a punishment for the twelve districts devised by the Capitol for rebelling some years ago. What happens in them is that one boy and one girl, called “tributes”, get their name drawn at an event called the reaping. Those who get their names called get taken away to the Capitol to be on national telivision. Sounds fun, right? Wrong. They get dropped in an arena where winning means going back home in glory. Losing means certian death. Yes, it’s tribute against tribute in a bloody game of survival of the fittist. Katniss takes her sisters place, and gets whisked off to the Hunger Games. Will she survive this bloodbath of doom, or will she die a slow, painful death courtesy of the Gamemakers or another tribute? Read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins to find out. This is one game where losing does matter.

  The book I chose is called Kiss Of Life by Daniel Waters.
  I chose this book because the title really caught my eye. I thought the book would fit in the horror genre. I enjoy reading horror books most.
  Also I read the summary and it caught my attention because as I read it, it kinda started to sound like Twilight. Twilight is what really got me interested in reading alot more.

I personally have a high reading level and read meterial recomended to high schoolers,not 7th grade. So when Mrs. Martin almost removed it from the list it made me want to read it more.

  The book I choose is The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler.
  I choose this book beacause one of my friends recommended it some and she and I like the same types of books. The summary of the book made me want to read the book. The summary of the book says a girl doesnt fit in with her family or really at school so she needs another way to fit in, and the way she finds is interesting and makes you want to keep reading.

  From the list givien to me, I chose “Pip: The Story of Olive ” by Kim Kane. I chose this book because in the title ( Pip: The Story of Olive ) it kinda of confused me and drew me in to read it. Also in the summeray it says ” Olive suddenly meets her own, more confident twin sister, the two of them go in search of their long – lost father.” that really made me want to read it and find out what happends. Cause sererusly a girl who thinks shes an only child that lives with the mother, finds out that she’s a twin, and then tries to find her father. That really made me want to read the book!

  The book I chose to read for the book project was How Ya Like Me Now by Brendan Halpin. I chose this book not just by looking at the cover by reading the inside cover.
  Based on what I already know, the book sounds very intresting but yet very realistic. This book is about a young teenage boy who is sent to live with his aunt and uncle after his father has passed away and his mmother is sent to rehab.
  This young boy, Eddie, spends his time figuring out how and where he belongs in a new environment with a new family, school and struggling to meet new people.

  I chose the Graveyard book by Neil Gaimen because i am a big horror and ghost book fan, when i read the summary i was intrigued to read this. Mainly because its is about a kid who is raised by ghosts in a graveyard…and it sounded like nothing that i have ever read before and i am sure i was right. Just by reading the back of this book i was excited to figure out why he had to be raised by ghosts and what would happen, Mrs. Martin also told me that she highly reccomended it and i can see why she did.

  Title-”The Adventures of tom Sawyer”
  Author-Mark Twain

  I came to my decision on this book by reading the summary on the book list…”New York: Signet Classic, 2002. Presents the stories of two young boys up in a nineteenth-century Mississippi River town.” When i read this i sounded like a book i had at home! Except i hadnt read it yet.When i got home i got it off my shelf and started to read just to see if it could be one of my choices. Well i read that it was around the 1800’s [that i love to read about] and a few boys that gets in a lot of trouble.[trouble=lots of action].Then when i started reading the acuall story i could not get my nose out of it, even to eat!!

  The book I chose for my 1st book is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The reason I chose the book is because on the summary the book is a war book. They choose 2 people out of 12 diffrent districts to have 24 participants in the “games.” 12 year old Prim is selected to be in the games but her sister Katniss, volunteers to take her sisters place. When she has to leave for the games she is partnered with the son of a baker. She is at a disadvantage because almost all of the other participants out weigh her by 50-100 lbs.

  I chose the book Artichoke’s heart by Suzanne Supple. This book is about an overweight teen girl named Rosemary Goode. She hates being put down by the popular “Blue Birds”. But as she starts to lose weight and the “Blue Birds” start to accept her her mother becomes ill. I chose this book because it is a realistic fiction. I realy like realistic fiction because you can relate to the story.

  The book I chose is “Endeer’s Game” by: Orson Scott Card. I chose this book because in the summery it said he waas a genetic experiment that turns out to be a military genius, and it sounds interesting. Mrs. Martin told me that my original choice, “Thirsty by: M.T. Andeerson, was checked out, so she recomended “Ender’s Game”. It was already my second choice so I’m going to read it.

  The Graveyard Book: By Neil Gaiman
  the way i came to my desision for this book was when i started hearing things about this book about how great it is so people telling me things like you should really get this book it’s really great. Plus i really love horror and mysterious books like this. Ireally think that this book was a great choice so far. So if you read the rest of my post you’ll hear about why im tripping and bragging about this book.
