So the book starts out like this. There is a boy named Roy who is bullied by Dana Matherson. He was just reading his novels on the bus when Dana started choking him. Roy tried to get free, when Dana pushed him against the window. At that moment, he saw a boy. He was running along the sidewalk. He thought the boy was trying to catch the bus since the bus stop at the corner, but there was something weird about him. He wasn't wearing any shoes. His school, (Trace Middle School) had it easy with dress codes, but he was sure that any kind of footwear was needed. Now, I would think that it would be weird if a kid is trying to catch a bus barefoot too. And I would definitely wonder why he didn't have any footwear. My best guess would be that he was in a track and field team, and he was practicing running. When Dana set him free, he instantly open the window to get a better view of the boy. But when he popped his head out, the boy was long gone and he could not see him. He kept trying to look for the boy every they on the bus, but eventually gave up and went back to reading novels.

I chose to read this book since it is by one of the famous author, Louis Sachar. I also heard that this was quite an old book but has been remastered into this one so I wondered what the story might look like.

I choose to read this book since one of my friend loves reading and she recommended me this book. She said that it was a very emotional book. She also told me had some sense of humor in it as well. The Book Thief is about a orphan girl who was in the middle of the situation when Germany completely took over the Jews.  The girl's name is Liesel and her best friend was Rudy. Liesel also loved to read book. But the bad thing is since her orphan father and mother wasn't very rich, she steals it. You can now see clearly why the book is called The Book Thief. I would recommend this book for maybe 12-15 years old or older since the book has some inappropriate things in it for example swears and violence. But the book is just as fun and it can teach us history about how Germany has once invaded the Jews.   The narrator in this is Death, and Death is someone who can live infinitly

The reason why I read this book is because I saw this book at the library and it looked like a good book to read so I read it. The book is a book about a normal kid (Well not so normal after a bit) also known as Benjamin Ripely who got transferred to a Spy School. Then gets attacked for whatever reason by an evil group named SPYDER. In my opinion, the book is amusing at the book keeps you on your toes while your reading it. The book includes a lot of details so it's not complicated to imagine what's happening and the settings. There is a whole series of this book. This is only the first book of many lots. I would recommend this book if you like an exciting book since this is one. The book is very fun and I hope people who reads this book will think so too.

The story in page 467 - 506 is that Frau Holtzapital's son Michael Holtzpital  died by a Russian bomb raid because of the guilt of wanting to live when her mother didn't. This was Michael Holtzpital's last goodbye in the book. "Dear Mama Can you ever forgive me? I just couldn't stand it any longer. I'm meeting Robert. (His dead brother) I don't care what the 🤬 Catholics say about it. There must be a place for heaven for those who have been where I have been. You might think I don't love you because of what I've done,  but I do. Your Michael."
This was a very emotional part for me.

So this chapter is about how Liesel also called The Book Thief has got a sketchbook from Max. Max was a Jew who was an enemy of the Germans they say, which Liesel is part of. But in the front of the story, they lived together since Hans was a friend with Max's father who saved his life by forcing him to take a writing job in the army. They were good friends until Max's father died in war, while Hans was writing. Anyways, Max's family and him was separated, and her mother decided that he should live with Hans since his father was good friends with him. So, Max lived in a basement until one day, he had to leave since because of a misunderstanding of Hans. So they never saw him again, and Liesel missed him. But then she found a sketch book and knew where Max was. While the Jews were taking a march outside for their monthly walk of being prisoners, Liesel marched with them to see if Max was there. She found Max and had tears in her eyes, and so did Max. But then, a soldier who made sure the Jews didn't escape and notice Liesel and Max, and beat her up. Then, Max and Liesel got separated again.

So this is the next chapter after Liesel got separated with Max again. She visited the Mayor's wife's library which she loved to visit while doing work in the past, until she fired her mother from the work and lost her customer. So she said mean thing to her after firing her mother and could never visit the library freely again. But she couldn't resist the fun of the books and decided to steal them until she got caught and the mayor's wife told her she loved it when she visited the library so she could visit freely, without having to steal. Anyways, back to the story. One day, the mayor's wife loved the letter that Liesel sent and inspired Liesel to write a book which she did. She wrote the book called the Book Thief which isn't same as The Book thief since Death is telling us the story, but it was similar. Liesel told her about her life starting with how her brother died. (Her brother died in a train) She spent all day writing in the basement.

So as you know, the Russia was in war with Germany.  It was just another night when this happened. The Russians attack Germany once again by a bomb raid. But when it happened everyone was sleeping quietly. The bombs dropped out of the plane. The sirens started to ring but it was to late. All it was left after the explosions was souls ready to be taken. Of course, Death, our narrator, had the job of taking the souls of people that are passed away. Death took the soul of Rudy, Liesel's best friend, and his sisters. Death took the souls of Liesel's papa and mama. After he took Liesel's mothers soul, Death looked at Liesel's fathers. The soul rose. Death says those kind of souls are the best. It means I'm ready to go. I don't want to go, but I'm ready. After that, Death's job was done, and no. I didn't forget Liesel. Liesel survived the bomb raid since she was asleep in the basement since she was writing. The explosions couldn't reach the basement so Liesel could survive. When the Nazi found out they were really surprised. But Liesel... called for her mother and father, Max and Rudy as well. First she found Rudy's dead body. She thought of how he always wanted a kiss from her. She told him to wake up, crying. Then, she kissed him. She kissed him for a long time. After that, she found the body of her parents. She said thank you for her mother and told her that she always loved her. Her father... she couldn't even look at him. Liesel had so many great memories with him, she couldn't possibly say goodbye now. All she said was that she loved her. Liesel couldn't find the body of Max the Jew. She kept crying for her but his body could not be found. This is a very sad part but it's also reality since millions of people died when Germany took over the Jews, and from the Russian war too.

Now, Alex was an old friend of Liesel's. When Liesel and Rudy stole from others back when everything was fine, and Alex was the one who led the group.

The same morning when Roy first saw the mysterious boy, a police officer named David Delinko was called to the Mother Paula's All-American Pancakes construction site. A man who was called Curly, showed him why he was called. A wooden stick with a bright ribbon tied on the stick has been flat on the ground. It was pulled out by someone. The police officer didn't think that this was something for the police to handle. He thought it was a prank by kids. But the man Curly said that it would take a while to get the sticks nailed to the ground again, and it messed up the construction schedule which is where it would cost the big moneys. Curly shooed away an annoying owl. The police man was surprised when he saw them. They argued who it could've been and the police officer left. Before he left he asked Curly what was going to happen to the owls after bulldozing the whole place. He chuckled and said "What owls?"

Roy was in his school still thinking about the boy. He sat alone in the cafeteria in his deep thoughts. Even though he gave up searching for him, it didn't mean that he gave up wondering about him. Then, a boy named Garrett sat next to Roy as they both said hi. Garrett asked if he skateboards and Roy said he snowboards but doesn't skateboard. He was grateful that Garrett was trying to be friendly but he liked sitting alone much better in his deep thoughts. After that day. But one day, he saw the boy again. He tried to run out of the bus to catch him but Dana stopped him. He asked where he was going and started bullying him again. He didn't want to lose the boy again, so he punched him on the nose and ran for the boy. He kept a fair distance from the boy, but the boy was way better at  running than he was. He got tired quickly, and his cloths were wet, but he didn't give up. The boy ran inside to a golfing area. Then, he went inside to a forest which was inside the golfing area. He followed him inside. Then, suddenly, a golf ball came and it hit his head.

The book has 320 pages. I chose to read this book since in the library, when I search for books to read, I first look at the first few pages, and if it looks fun I'd borrow it. When I read the first few pages, the book had words that was easy to understand and things that I agree with. There were funny captions which is why I decided to read this book.

# data[].attributes.body
This book includes 232 pages. I chose to read this book since the idea of boy in a dress is very new and it got me curious what the story was about and how it was structured.

Dennis loves football but he also loves fashion and Vogue magazine. His lorry-driving father and laddish older brother don't like or understand his fascination with dresses and since his mother left home, he has no-one to turn to. Then Dennis meets Lisa, an older, cooler girl who wants to be a designer and with her help he realises that it's ok to be different.

Despite its sensitive subject matter, this book is filled with humour - the 1980s references to Neighbours and drinking Um-bongo will resonate with adults, while Dennis' exploits with a host of quirky characters will amuse contemporary children. Fantastic illustrations from Quentin Blake complement the text perfectly.

I would give this book four stars since the book has a very good lesson and message, but the climax was a bit disappointing since it could've been more exiting.

Discuss the setting (time and place) of the book. How does the author help you imagine this setting?

The place that this book takes place is wayside school. The author explains the school as a 30 story building, and a pretty good image of what it's made of. The story usually takes place at the 30th floor, which is Ms Jewls class. Also, the time is usually in school time, but the exact time is not actually specific.

I chose to read this book since this book as many people might know, is a famous book, which also has a movie about it. But since I only saw the movie, I wanted to read this book to compare, what's different and what's the same. There is a total of 81 pages in this book. It is short, but it has a great impact.

# data[].attributes.body
I would give this a five stars because the theme in the story is very meaningful and I think it is a very important one too. I also really like the story, it is interesting and mysterious which makes me wanna read more. The idea of a little prince coming to earth and tell his story how grownups are always busy and serious, makes sense in a child's perspective. I understand how and why he thinks adults are boring in some ways. I also understand how he is lonely and needs friends. I would recommend this book to a friend who is having a difficult time with adults and to someone a child who is in puberty and is sensitive to their parents. I also think if parents read this book, they might be able to understand their children a little more.

What is the most exciting or important part of the story? List 3 important events that lead up to that point.

The most exiting part is when all the cows run into the school from the noise of Ms Jewel's cow bell. I think three important event that lead to that is Ms Jewel's music class.
