Hello! Before anyone reads this, I’m telling you that this might have some spoilers. Anyway this week I started Catching fire,

let me tell you what happens.

Right now, The main character, Katniss Everdeen is feeling very unsafe and emotionally unstable, even after her victory. She has nightmares, panic responses and feels disconnected from her normal life. Also Katniss’s relationship with Gale is becoming strained, because of everything that happened in the arena, and District 12 feels more tense and controlled than ever before. Even if you think that District 12 is at its most tense place, it gets even more tense, because the already strict Peace Keepers, get even more strict, because after Gale went poaching he got

whipped in public.

So far I’ve only read till chapter 3, so I don’t know how the intensity is going to turn out for Katniss, for the whole district even.

That’s it for my final R&R, and hopefully you leave a like.

This is the time when the Natzi are invading all over Europe. Dee and his fellow soldiers are heading to one of the French shores,  it is D-day. This is a big attack that they planned months and months on. Then finally it is their moment. It is especially important for Dee because he is a German but fighting for the Americans. This is because if he defeats the Natzi, he and his family can peacefully live in Germany again.

I think Dee is very nervous with this battle because he feels the weight of the world going on his shoulders. It is because if they fail the Natzi’s would probably destroy the whole entire world. Also if they win, Germany would be back and everything would be fine.

I think he is really relying on his friend Sid. Sid is also here to fight with the Americans and have always been friends when they both joined the war. They depend on each other for comfort and help. So because of Sid, Dee is not bursting with emotion yet.

If I was Dee I would be really scared. It is because Dee heard that the Natzi's had machine guns which could probably take down ⅓ of the whole entire army when they just arrived at shore. Also they have planes dropping bombs so maybe they would all die instantly because one bomb drops on their ship. They have to be prepared for everything.

I wonder if Dee’s fellow soldiers are going to betray their country. Maybe Sid or Dee might get backstabbed by one of them. Or maybe Sid would betray the others, or maybe there are spies on this ship reporting back to the Natzi’s.

Hi guys, this week I started a new book called, by Ingrid Law. This book has been so good through the first 6 chapters, (39 pages). This R&R is my very last R&R ever🥹!!! Let’s also make it the best!!!

The title Savvy explains a lot. Every Beumont, the main character’s family, gets a Savvy (a special power when they turn 13). The main character: Mississippi, (Mibs for short), is waiting to get her Savvy. The part that I’m at is the day of her birthday, but just in the beginning of the book, things go left. Mississippi’s father goes to the hospital because he went unconscious at work. Momma and Rocket got to go to the hospital because Rocket is the oldest and he is the only one who can power the very old station wagon. The reason why Rocket can power the station wagon is because his savvy is electricity, so he can power the car.

While Momma and Rocket are gone, the preacher’s wife comes to Mississippi's house with her, Fish, and Gipsy. On the afternoon that the Mrs. Rosemary comes to the house, she brings her two children, Will and Bobbi. Will is considered to be Mibs friend, but she is still considering it, but Bobbi, is way out of her range. She is so rude. Even to her MOTHER! And her dad is a literal preacher!!!

In my opinion, I think that Mibs is over-thinking this whole savvy thing. When she gets it she gets it.

In the book it always keeps reminding the readers how much Mibs is looking forward to getting her savvy, but will she jinx it?I predict that Mibs will have the best birthday party of her life at the church with all her family and get her savvy, but I was also thinking, what if something bad happens during the party, what if she doesn’t get her savvy, what will happen. Will she stop thinking about it, or keep trying to get it?

That’s all forever, BYEEEEE!!! Thanks for reading my very last R&R!!! I will miss this so much!!!❤ Sadly, I will not keep you posted😭!!!

Linked by Gordon Korman

5 / 10 / 2026 - 5 / 15 / 2026

This week I started a new book called Linked. The book is about Link, Michael, and Dana living in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. No one can possibly believe that someone came in and vandalized their school. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michal was the first person to see it; he is the main suspect. Since Link is the most popular person in school he is the one who needs to find out who did it and since Dana is the only Jewish girl in school she is treated like an outsider more than ever.

Just because Michel was the first one to see it does not make him the suspect. Though when he went in to get his phone he did not look at the wall so he could have done it but there is a lower likelihood that he did it but everyone is a suspect. He just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

So what if Link is popular, he could also be really rude like some popular kids. And it’s not like he is entitled to finding out who spray painted the swastika on the school wall. It’s not his job, leave it to the police. And he does not even need to worry about it because the custodians took care of it. There will be no more swastika’s around the school.

Dana makes me feel bad for her. She moved her in the middle of the school year because some scientists found T-Rex poop and set up a lab. She is also the only Jewish girl in the entire Chokecherry district. The only one out of Elementary, Middle, and High School. I would feel a lot like an outsider.

This was my R&R. Thanks for reading.

My Last R and R!!!

This week I finished reading The Hunger Games Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The main character in this book is Cornelius  AKA President Snow. He is a mentor to the district 12 girl Lucy Gray Baird.  This is the 10th Annual Hunger Games. Also this is the first year that mentors can send  food and water.

I wonder how it must feel to Cornelius to have a child that he put work into trying to escape death. I think it was harder and more important  to Cornelius because, after the war, the Snows were in poverty. Also this year the Mentor won a 20,000$ scholarship. Another reason is he lost his Mom and Dad he didn't want to lose anymore.  Cornelius shows faith in Lucy because he gave her his Mothers Compact which meant a lot to him.

I think that Lucy Grey is lucy and intelligent. A reason that shows this is: before the games Cornelius dropped a handkerchief with his scent and Lucy's  into a venomous tank of cobras to get used to the scent. Another example is that her and Reaper were the only people left so she made him die of heart-stroke. Finally since the cobras didn’t kill her she saved 1 and striked someone with the Fangs!

Thanks for reading

Hey guys welcome back to my VERY last R and R. Here is a little update on my book. The Hunger Games.

Right now the games are officially over. Katniss and Peeta realized that the rules changed and they could team up. Katniss helped Peeta get back to full health. Risking her life. In the end it was them and Cato. Katniss had one bow left and shot Cato in the mouth. Now they are back in the Capital. The gamemakers are mad at Katniss and Peeta because they made the Capital look like a fool.

Right now I think that Katniss is super brave, but has her weak spots. She took her sister's place in the games without even thinking. She ran to Rue when she called for her when they allied. And she killed the boy that killed Rue without even thinking. When she found out that the people from the same district could both win she immediately started looking for Peeta. Even though she knew that he was super hurt. She went to the feast that could have gotten her killed and almost did to get the medicine that would save Peeta. But she does have a weak spot. Blood, pus, ect. She hates all of that stuff. Back home whenever her mom and little sister Prim would take care of someone that was badly injured from the mines she would have to leave the house.

I predict that Peeta and Katniss are going to face the wrath that the Capital has for them and explain their part. Be super famous for being one of the only district 12 survivors. And finally after about a month go home and see their family. I predict that Prim is going to be so happy and they will have goat cheese from Prim's goat waiting for her.

Maisie’s R&R 5/13/26

This week I started a new book in my series, it is called The  Land of Stories,An Author’s Odyssey, by Chris Colfer. Which is the fifth book in my series, by the way this is my last R&R/best one.

There is not a lot going on since I’m only on page 97 in the book , but I will tell you what is going on.So the Masked Man, (the twins evil uncle), he collected evil villains in books because he has this special Potion that let him go into any books and come out. So he got all the evil villains just to destroy the fairy tale world, so he can take it over. He also promised some to the evil villains from different  books, but he didn't do that promise so he got dropped from the sky.

MY thought is why would he destroy all of the world where he will go, like why?

My favorite character is Alex and her brother (Conner) because they are trying to save the world, not destroy it.

May 11, 2026 - Number The Stars

Hi guys and welcome to my last ever R&R… 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating just a tiny  bit. Anyways, today I’m going to tell you about my book that I’m reading, Number The Stars by Lois Lowry! This is my second time reading this book! Let’s go……

Recap: Annemarie goes to the button shop to buy her sister a new button, but finds that the owner, Mrs. Hirsch is not there, and the shop is closed with only a small sign marked with a swastika. Later, Mama and Papa tell Annemarie that the Nazi’s are closing all of the Jewish shops.

So what happened was Mama and Papa surprised Annemarie and Kirsti by saying that Ellen was going to be staying with them for the night. Kirsti was excited, but Annemarie was confused because right now it is the Jewish New Year so Ellen's family was supposed to be celebrating and making yummy food that they haven't had for a long time but instead Ellen was coming to stay with them for a reason that Annemarie finds out soon. Anyways after that Mama makes a nice dinner for the family then they all go to bed. Ellen is supposed to pretend to be  Annemarie's sister which is very easy because Annemarie and Ellen are very close friends. but soon trouble starts. First before that Annemarie finds out that the reason why Ellen is staying with her is not for a fun sleepover, it's because the Nazis are taking all the Jews away and relocating them so Ellen is staying with them. This makes Annemarie even more scared. Then suddenly without any warning the Nazis come in and they are very very surprised to figure out that Ellen is the only child that has brown hair. To prove to them that Ellen is actually their child Papa takes out one of their photo books and shows that Annemarie's dead sister Lise actually had brown curly hair when she was younger so fit perfectly in the Nazis did not find out.

Thank you so much for reading my very last R&R!!! Byeeeeee 🥹🥹🥹

This week I am reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In the book this week I read about his journey to

Hogwarts. On the train a Dementor comes in. The Dementor's are guards of the high security prison, Azkaban. They are meant to be keeping the kids safe and they are going to be stationed outside Hogwarts and they are to prevent anyone getting

killed by Sirius Black.

When the Dementor came in Harry felt cold, began to shake and fell of seat as he fainted. The new professor of the Dark Arts woke up when this happened and tried to protect the kids. He gave Harry and his friends chocolate and this helped Harry feel better.

April 24, 2026 - The Girl Who Drank The Moon

Hey guys! This week I continued reading The Girl Who Drank The Moon by Kelly Barnhill. So far, it’s been really good! Now, 🥬🥓! ~let us begin~

Antain has been working hard as an elder in training but it's not really easy especially because the elders are really really rude to him. They're always yelling at him, making demands, and complaining to him and I mean like he's just a boy so that's kind of concerning. I get that you're an elder but still you shouldn't be yelling at this person when he's trying really really hard. anyways he's just been working his but off for the elders.😬

In the afternoons he goes to school and his teacher always gives him really really good grades because he's an elder in training and I think the teacher wants a good word for them I guess so that's why they’re doing that. 😕

Antain has been a bit depressed because this girl in his class, Ethyne, goes to be an apprentice at the Sisters of the Star and obviously Antain misses her, so he’s kinda depressed. 😐

Anyways, Antain misses out on this Day Of Sacrifice because of “stomach problems” which is not true, so the Elders want to kick him out or even kill him. 😦

I feel a bit bad for Antain, because the “love of his life” is out of reach even more than before and he probably will never see her again. I also don’t like how Antains mom is acting towards him. She’s making it seem like she DESERVES “good sons” but in the end nobody’s perfect! The mom DEFINITELY needs a reality check. She also is not listening to what Antain wants to do, which is be a carpenter. She only cares about her pride. 🫤

That’s all for now! Bye guys! 👋

Doug Swieteck was having a hard time when he moved into Marrysville. He is always pessimistic about a lot of things. For example, when he sees something stupid, he says “I hate this town.” But when Doug Swieteck goes into the library, he sees a big picture of a bird that inspired him a lot. He was so surprised and amazed that he went to the library at 8:00 waiting for the doors to open, even though the Library opens at 10:00.

I think Doug Swieteck is so convinced that his older town in Long Island is way better than where he moved too, Marysville. That is why he sees things so pessimistically that he is still having a terrible time. He hasn’t even explored the town as much so he can’t say that he hates this town.

I feel bad for Doug because everyone around him is terrible. His brother and also his father. They are both terrible people who don't care about people. His brother took Doug’s hat, a hat that he was really proud of, a hat that he got from Joe, and his father made a decision without Doug or anyone. This makes Doug a lonely character who is always disappointed.

I think the only thing that keeps him going is the birds he sees in the library. The pictures inspired him a lot because he has gone through the same thing. For example, this one bird was frightened and disappointed just like Doug.

This week I am still reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I left off last time and he had just arrived at Diagon Alley after being picked up by the Knight Bus. He stayed at the Leaky Cauldron all by himself and he loved having the freedom of being away from the Dusleys. He liked to look at the shops on Diagon Alley & his favorite was a new broom stick called the Firebolt. Harry got all his school supplies.

The day before they were to leave for Hogwarts School, Harry met Hermonie and Ron and they had ice cream in Diagon Alley. Hermonie bought a cat & called him Crookshanks. After dinner Harry overheard Mrs and Mr Weasley discuss that the prisoner who escaped Azkaban was Sirius Black and he was after Harry. They expect he will be safe at Hogwarts.

Harry went to the Hogwarts Express with the Weasley family in cars that people from the Ministry of Magic drove. Harry spent the train journey speaking to Hermonie and Ron. He told them what he overheard and that the escaped Prisnor of Azkaban was after him.

Kayla’s R&R!

The Catcher

By: Joanne Slazyk

This week I continued reading The Catcher By: Joanne Slazyk.

The book is about a girl named Jade and her team. Jade is the catcher for her softball team. Sylvie is the pitcher.

Jade and Sylvie are like the PB&J of the team. They have been friends for forever, and they trust each other all the time.

Until this one game. Jade gave Sylvie her call: rise ball. Sylvie shakes it off. Sylvie has never done this before. Jade calls a time-out. She asks Sylvie why not a rise ball?

Sylvie recognizes this hitter from the championship tournament last year. She hit a home run off Sylvie’s rise ball. Sylvie doesn’t want to take that risk again.

After some convincing Sylvie agreed to throw the pitch, even though she still kinda didn’t want to.

Sylvie starts her wind up, she goes up to twelve o’clock, then releases her pitch. The hitter makes contact with it. Jade rips her mask off and charges down the first base line to catch the pop fly.

The ball makes contact with her glove and she wraps her glove around the ball. “OUT!” the umpire calls. They won the game!

I hope you enjoyed my R&R this week. I'll keep you posted.

This Week I finished reading Wilderlore The Night Compass by Amanda Foody. Audrian (Lore Master) and Yasha (Aprentice) are still on the run. They are looking for Navyrshatya, the legendary beast of the tundra. Barclay feels this strange new power called Wild lore. For some reason only him and Audrain have this ability.

I wonder why Barcay and Audrain have wild lore? I think that it might have something to do with  them both being from elsewheres. Where they have people scared of beasts and lore keepers but they are always saving their lives. Also why does wild lore only work in the Tundra but nowhere else. Maybe it has to do something with Navyrshatya being missing. Because when she gets killed the whole Tundra surges with power.

I think Lore Keepers Beasts have a lot of shaping who the character is. Like Root Barclay’s beast, a Lufthound has given Barclay playfulness when running because when they run they turn into wind. Cecily’s bird Outy a Tenpie has shadow lore. So that shapes a lot of her life because she was a pickpocket and taught her stealth.  Runa’s beasts Klava taught her fierceness and got her the nickname the fang of dusk. Goath taught her combat Ext….

This week I've been reading Holes By Louis Sachar. There's a little bit of what's happening so let me tell you.

Stanley is an overweighted kid, people make fun of him because of that. I think you shouldn't make fun of people like that because it's not nice.

So he has to go to Green Lakes and that's basically a place for juvenile detention I think. He has to go because he “stole” shoes. But he didn't but it was either that or jail.

He thinks he is also going because of a curse on his family. It first started with his great - great- grandfather. Because he had to go.

But Stanley's friend is X - Ray. His real name is Rex. And there digging holes five feet deep and five feet wide. Everyone at the camp has to.

THATS ALL FOR THIS WEEK BYEEEEEEEEEEEE

Week 17

Eloise’s R and R

Hey guys! This week I continued reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Stellarlune. Here is what is happening right now.

So far (In my opinion) it is a bit slow. But something really exciting just happened.

Glimmer, one of the OLD Neverseen recruiters, helped them set up a meeting with Trix. It took a while for the council to approve it, and everyone else. But they went. Trix was supposed to come alone. But technically he did not. Vespera came but as a projection through light. They started talking. Saying that Lady Gisela is no longer with them. Talking about how if she got her hand on this crystal she could use it on Keefe. And that they have a way to find him whenever. Then Vespera said that they should team up. Just for a bit to stop Gisela. They left and let them talk about it. Sophie then started acting like a leader. Telling everyone that the Council did not need to know some things and that they would only tell the council the things that will need to be told. Then she told them her whole plan. And by the end everyone was smiling at her and Glimmer told her that she is now acting like a leader.

In my opinion everyone (except Sophie's adoptive parents) put so much pressure on Sophie. All of her friends give her a hard time for doing something that she thought was right. But no one gets it. Sophie was made. She was tweaked. She is not normal. People changed her and then sent her away. Training and changing her when she does not even know it. She was tweaked to kill. No one gets how intensely scary that is. She is the only person who can end the “war”. No one gets that she is under some insane pressure.

I predict that they will find Keefe. Bring him home and then find the crystal before Gisela does. I predict that Keefe and Sophie (Together) Will take the Neverseen down.

That’s all I have for this week! Thanks for reading!

Hi guys, this week I continued reading THG, Mockingjay. I am so close to finishing the book, so let me tell you all about it.

Peeta was finally found in the Capitol, but something is off about him. He was poisoned by tracker jacker venom, which messes with the part of your brain that contains fear. They altered his memories to make him think that Katniss destroyed 12. And killed his whole family. Now the only thing he wants to do to Katniss is kill her, and all Katniss wants to do is kill President Snow.

In my opinion, I think that Katniss is very persevering because. She is going on hover crafts to all the districts to make them side wich 13, and she also is helping with a master plan to destroy the nut.

I predict that Katniss will see the people escaping from the tunnel whole in the outside of the nut for the train that goes in and out of the mountain.

Thank’s for reading my R&R!!! BYEEEEEEE🤪

Hey guys this week I continued reading Ride or die by Delilah S. Dawson.

As a recap last week Brie went through the park with her new friends. They went on a lot of rides, but this week Brie was saying that she really liked her new friends, but she does feel bad that she left  the Em’s. I get where she's coming from, but she shouldn't feel bad because they betrayed her.

I think that Brie is in a tough situation right now, but she will get through it. I think she really does like her new friends, but she feels bad.

That's all for this week! Bye!

Keeper of the lost City's Everblaze

This week I  continued to read keeper of the Lost Cities Everblave right now in the book during the healing Everblave sparked and the Amethyst building they were in started melting and Sophie grabbed Fritz, and the Councillor Oralie and jumped out of a window. Sophie and Friz light leaped to get some light from Elementine to make a dust to extinguish Everblaze. Councillor Kenric died in Everblaze.

It must have been really hard on Sophie to process that the first Councillor that took her side had been swallowed by the flames of Everblaze.

I feel like Sophie should not have blamed herself because she had nothing to do with Kenric's death even though she blames her self

The Little Captain and his crew sailed until they had reached the Misty East,But they forgot one thing they didn't tell the Great Lord of Fear and Terror that they were coming so they had to send Marink in the lucky chest ashore, but what really shocked me was that the little captain said she had to  be back in an hour she came back after three hours.

So that had me thinking was she going to come or was she trapped there.Because When arriving at the palace an hour later the lackey that marinka meet found the fishermen that had the chest that Marinka came in he put a letter in then sent it off into the sea where the neversink was anchored

And so I was thinking why did Marinka do that?Because that chest was her only way back to the neversink,and I think that was what the little captain was thinking when he read the letter.So the little captain claimed that the would sail to the palace at midnight to find Marinka and meet the Great Lord of fear and terror and that is my Prediction for next time bye!!!😜

This week I continued reading the book called The Land of Stories Beyond the Kingdoms, which is the fourth book in the series.

Right now Conner and Alex are stuck in books so they are making a potion to go into a different book. But right when Alex was going into the book Mother Goose told Alex that she was staying with Merlin, who is a wizard from the book that she had fallen in love.

My favorite character is Mother Goose because she is very determined  on everything she does, and she always is there form Alex and Conner.

I Survived:

The Titanic

I just finished reading I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis and it was so good! It is about a 10-year-old boy named George Calder who is traveling on the biggest ship ever with his little sister, Phoebe, and their Aunt Daisy. They are going back to America after a trip. George thinks the trip is a little boring until he starts exploring the ship and makes some friends. It was super exciting but also kind of scary to read about.

The best part was when George was trying to be brave, even though he was terrified. The ship hits a huge iceberg and starts to break! People are panicking and George gets separated from his sister and aunt for a while. He has to run around the ship and try to find them while water is coming in. I liked that he was smart and remembered where all the hallways were.

A super tense part was when George was trying to get on a lifeboat, but the mean officer wouldn't let him because he was a boy, not a little kid. I felt so bad for him. But then, he meets this nice man named Marco who helps him stay safe when the boat is finally sinking, which was really cool. It shows how important it is to have friends to help you.

The story was cool because it felt like I was actually on the ship, not just reading about it. The author makes you feel the cold water and hear the screaming, which was really sad but amazing, too. I learned a lot about how the Titanic was supposed to be "unsinkable," but it was not. My favorite part was in the middle of the chaos, they were talking about a spooky mummy, which was weird but funny.

In conclusion, this book was a great story about surviving a big disaster. I loved reading it and I feel bad for the people who didn’t make it. It was sad at the end, but also good because George and his family get back together and they feel happy to be alive. I want to read all the other I Survived books now.

School is not going well for Ivy. Her roommate Aurora does not trust Ivy any more because she lied to her a lot. To be honest, it is not her fault that Ivy kept lying because she couldn’t break promises about her friends and can’t tell that she is a ever. Even if she did, the rest of the Evers would become upset because they want to keep themselves hidden from other people that they are Evers.

I think Ivy is in a lose lose situation because she can’t betray her own Ever friends and also can’t make her roommate more upset. It is especially bad for her roommate because she is new to this school and is nervous about everything. This is a bad time to have a new student become Ivy’s roommate because she has to choose a side. It is like people are pulling Ivy at once.

I think this can make Ivy, her friends, and Aurora frustrated. Every time Ivy chooses a side they feel betrayed and when they start saying about it Ivy also gets frustrated too. I feel bad for Ivy because she needs a break with these problems.

I think also if the friends help Ivy out and don't worry about Ivy telling Aurora, life would be much better for Ivy. But also it is not easy stuff  for the Evers. If they tell Aurora, they are scared she is going to spread the information. Also they don’t know her very well.

This week I started the third book in the Harry Potter series. It starts with Harry going on summer break. He has to return to his Aunt and Uncles house on Privet Drive. He hates it there. The grown ups are not nice to him. They don't even say Happy Birthday to him on his birthday!

Mr Dursley's sister Aunt Marge comes to visit. Harry dreads her visit. He makes a deal with Mr Dursley to be good and Mr Dusley will sign a form he needs for school. The form will allow him to go Hogmede, a nearby town. After holding his tongue for days, he ends up losing his temper over something the Aunt says about his parents and he does a spell she gets blown up to the size of an elephant.

Harry runs away. When he was running away a bus came and took him to Diagon Alley. He meets the Minister of Magic and Harry doesn't get in trouble!

This week I finished Stellarlune, Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. So what is happening is that they are looking for the Elysian fields. Also Lady Gisela is too. The reason the Black Swan is looking for this is because they think it is a significant power source.

I wonder why stuff in the lost cities is so related to fire. Marella the pyrokinetic usually understands these puzzles because she understands fire so well. I think that everything is so fire centered because a pyrokinetic is a very rare chance of manifesting. Some of her traits would be cunning, hard worker, fearless, and a small smidge of empathy.

Also I wonder why Keefe ran away into London. Could it be something about his mixed ability and he didn’t want Sophie to enhance it. Or it could be that he didn't want to endanger his friends from his mom again. I think that is the first option. Because in Unlocked, he makes every numb in the healing center. So he feels scared to speak because if he did something else he might get sent to EXILE!!!

Also I am surprised that Fintan offers to train Marella because he didn’t want what happened to Brant to her.(He went crazy)

Thanks for reading!

Sunny makes a splash

By: Jennifer L. Holm

This week I started reading Sunny makes a splash by: Jennifer L. Holm. The book is about a girl named Sunny in the summer during the 1970’s.

Sunny, the main character, just got out of school for summer break and has nothing to do, so she is bored out of her mind. She is dying of heat, and doesn't have a pool club membership, and her family is saving up for central air conditioning.

Sunny is so bored so she does the only thing she can do; babysit her little crazy minded brother, Teddy.

This week I have continued reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

The main character Katniss lives in District 12, out of twelve districts and is kinda shy. Her best friend who might be a boyfriend is Gale who she loves to go into the woods and capture food to trade with. And every year there is a draft that basically picks 24 people, 2 people in one district to fight to death.

And when her sister Primrose gets picked, Katniss steps up for her to save her life. Katniss tells her mother never to leave Primrose again. Because when her dad died in an explosion, her mom was so sad she left and had to take care of her little sister by herself. So they go into training for the games and got rated an 11 out of 12. Which is the highest of all of the other contestants.

She is popping with popularity from saving her sister, getting an 11, looking fabulous from her stylist Cinna, and just being cool.

I'll update you more next week bye.

Right now Cornelius Snow wants to keep Lucy Gray safe from getting eliminated from the Hunger Games. So he’s kinda teaming up with her so that she can win.

I think Cornelius is an optimistic person because he tries to lighten up the mood, tries to see the bright side of things, etc.

So Lucy Gray just had her interview about the Hunger Games. And now she's about to go to the Hunger Games and try to survive. Btw its the tenth Hunger Games.

I predict that Lucy Gray is going to survive the Hunger Games because she's one of the MAIN characters, and why would she be the main character and get killed?

THATS IT FOR THIS WEEK BYEEEEEEEE

The Hunger Games Balled of Songbirds and Snakes

Hello! this week I read the Hunger Games, here's how it went.

The main character Katniss often feels pessimistic, because life in District 12 is hard and unfair, so she expects bad things to happen. Still, she shows optimism by believing she can protect her family and by trying her best to survive.

Fate and destiny are also shown during the reaping, where children are chosen without control, but Katniss changes her destiny by choosing to take her sister Prim's place.

Katniss also feels survivors guilt, feeling bad while others suffer, especially after her fathers death and when she knows others die for her to live. These feelings explain how Katniss is brave, and also serious and thoughtful.

Thank you for reading my R&R, and I'll see you next time, byee.

Week 16

Eloise’s R and R

Hey Guys! This week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Stellarlune by Shannon Messenger. Here is a little recap on what I have been reading.

This week Keefe got new powers after his mom did her experiment on him. But they called it a transition. Or his ‘legacy’. Because of these new powers he got or found he ran away to the forbidden cities. (Human Cities) Sophie is on a journey trying to find him and bring him home. And Ro (Keefe’s Ogre bodyguard is helping her.) The 2 biggest parts that happened right now are

1. After Keefe’s transition a Neverseen member left and came back to the Lost Cities. Her name is Glimmer. She found the warehouse where the Neverseen keeps all of their stuff and she brought them there. Where Sophie found the caches and burned the warehouse to the ground. (Her friends were not happy

2. She opened Kenrich's cache and recovered a memory that the Black Swan implanted into her brain. It was a map. Of rivers where they connected and she is going to try to find the meeting place.

Today I am going to talk about Keefe. He is SO brave. And I don't think he knows how much he helps people. When Sophie's friends came to confront her about setting the Neverseens warehouse on fire no one stuck up for her. But Keefe would have. And I remember her wishing he was there. He runs to the forbidden cities so no one would get hurt with his new powers. Powers that no one else has. He did not talk because he was afraid he would numb someone. (One of his new powers is that if someone gets on his temper his mind can find a word and when he says it with a type of tone everyone in that room goes numb.) He cares for everyone and makes sure they are OK before he sees if he is OK.

Soon Sophie is going to find the meeting between the rivers and go there. With some of her friends. Wherever she goes that will help her find Keefe. Then she is going to bring Keefe home and her, her friends, and the Neverseen will have a big fight in a different city.

That’s all I have for this week! Hope you enjoyed reading!

Byeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keeper of the Lost Cities Everblaze

This week I started reading Keeper of the Lost Cities Everblaze. Right now in the story Fritz and Sophie are in their telepathy season. They have to share 3 secrets each because Sophie has been ordered by the council to perform a mind healing on Fintal and Fritz will be Sophie's guide.

Sophie is in a tough position because she is conflicted about Fritz because she wants to be able to trust him but she does not want to get him into danger.

She also feels the same way with Dex because of what happened with the rebels. They abducted her and Dex in a cave by the shore but they only wanted Sophie. I find this unfair to Dex because why did he have to be dragged into the mess of Sophie's life.

This week I started reading Keeper of the Lost Cities Everblaze. Thanks for reading! Bye!

Hey guys this week I continued reading Ride or die by Delilah S. Dawson.

What happened last week was Brie got out of the old amusement park with her new friends she met.

This week she started to walk out of the old park with her new friends and then she decided to stay with them and then they went  on a few of the rides in the park. As she was going on the rides she kept thinking of the Em’s. She also started to second guess her new friends but she thought that if she stayed with her new friends she would be safer.

I think that Brie is relieved that she has people to be  with her new friends but I also think that she feels a little guilty for leaving her old friends, aka the Em’s.

I predict that she will go back to the Em’s but the Em’s will kind of be mad at her.

I’ll keep you guys posted! Bye!

As you know from last week Scurvyboot The pirate left with  the little captain 7 treasure chests but get this those treasure chests weren't actually scurvy boots they belong to the Great Lord of fear and Terror.Because scurvy boots stole them from him.And it was giving a hint on the title that this chapter was going to be about treasure because it said The Pirates Treasure.

Since the Little Captain was alone on the ship at that time he was going to deliver the treasure himself. But no Marinka and Podgy wanted to come with him,and they did.As they set sail Marinka,and podgy wanted gto peek inside the seven chest,and you know what they found

They found Thomas in the seventh one

And apparently they call it the lucky chest because it was empty and so I’m thinking that this lucky chest is going to to come up again in this part of the book.So my prediction for next week is that they will arrive at the Misty East where the Great Lord of fear and terror, and maybe tell them about the lucky chest and why it’s called that. Anyway bye guys see you next week.😜

4/7/26 Maisie’s R&R

This week I continued reading a book called the Land of Stories By:Chris Colfer. In the series of Land of Stories I am on the fourth book. Also the Land of Stories is a fantasy book.

In what I am reading we found out that that is not the dad trying to kill Alex and Conner it was his BROTHER.And now they're chasing him through books and he knows that so he just keeps on going into different books.The books that they've been through are I think Alice and wonderland, and Peter Pan.They also have been collecting characters through the stories.And Peter Pan's friend who is a fairy got captured by the pirates and now Alex and her friends has to make a plan to get Peter Pan's friend back but there is a lot more pirates.

My favorite character is Alex because she is so determined to get her uncle> I also like how she is a very powerful fairy.

April 7, 2026 - The Girl Who Drank The Moon

Hey Guys! This week we are back to The Girl Who Drank The Moon by Kelly Barnhill! Let’s dive in!🤗

“Babies, Babies, Babies!” This is what Fyrian says all the time since Xan brought Luna home. I mean, what’s not to love about babies? They’re cute, adorable, and giggly! But they are a pain to take care of! Just ask Glerk, who instead of reading poetry, is changing a baby's diaper. And because Luna has been fed moonlight, she is quadruple the trouble. Soon, bonnets and toys are strewn across the floor and somehow, don’t ask why, a new goat has appeared because now, Xan needs to make double the milk!🍼

But this doesn't stop the trio from falling in love with Luna, even Glerk eventually caves in and realizes that Luna is here to stay. To keep her busy, they decide that it’s time to start Luna’s education. Glerk teaches her poetry, Xan teaches her science, and Fyrian teaches her math. But, deep down, inside of Luna’s body, magic is bubbling.📖

I think that Glerk is a grumpy person. He is always complaining and he doesn't like that Luna is staying with him, rather than going to the Safe Villages, where the other children Xan rescues go. But, I think soon Glerk will learn to accept Luna.😕

Thanks for reading!💙

4/7/26

Hi guys, this week I finished Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Let me tell you everything from start to finish. Get ready to RelAX.🤪

Finick, the definition of the gossip in the Capitol, teams up with Katniss and Peeta, and his female tribute, Mags. Finick is the gossip in the Capitol because he is super active and all the girls love him. When everything was going super well with the hunger games, there was a sudden twist. The cornucopia is surrounded by this clock thing that is divided by twelve sections and the cornucopia spins every hour to the corresponding hour. One of these horrors got Mags KILLED. When one of the hours strikes, this mist starts to form. This is not any normal mist, this mist is poisonous to the skin. When Peeta, Katniss, Finick, and Mags try to run away, Mags has to be on Finick's back because she is 80 years old, and if you are 80 years old, it is generally hard to run away from poisonous fog. Technically, Mags sacrifices herself because she is holding the group back because she always has to be carried on someone’s back and that makes the other person tired. So, Finick and Peeta can no longer hold Mags because she is too heavy and they are too tired to carry her away from the fog so Finick just puts her on the ground thinking that she is going to go on Peeta’s back but instead, she kissed finick on the face and walks straight into it.

In my opinion, I think that it was very brave of Mags to sacrifice herself for the group audacious because imagine yourself walking into deadly fog for your group just to save them. I think that whenSuzanne Collins writes this part it makes me want to cry, but it also inspires me. I think that this part reminds me to always do what’s best for the group, not myself. Poor Mags.

I predict that in the next book, Katniss will be living in district 13, if there is one with Gale, Prim, and her mother, not Peeta, because the Capitol rescued him from the arena that Katniss destroyed. I wonder what they are going to do to him, are they going to use him against Katniss to stop rebelling with the other districts, or rebel against the Capitol, with the rest of the districts? Or will he side with the Capitol???

But bye guys, that’s all I have for this week!!!🤪

Squished

The book Squished by Megan Wagner Lloyd and Michelle Mee Nutter is a story about a girl named Avery who lives in a very crowded house with her parents and six siblings. Avery really wants her own room, but in a big family, that isn’t very easy. Throughout the story, Avery has to deal with sharing space, noise, and feeling like she doesn’t get enough attention. This made me think about how hard it can be when you don’t get enough personal space, especially when you just want a quiet place to be yourself.

One thing that I liked a lot about Avery is that she is very determined. She doesn’t just complain about her problem—she tries to solve it. For example, she comes up with creative ideas to earn money so she can build her own room. This shows that she is hardworking and doesn’t give up easily. I think that is a really good lesson because sometimes we have to work for what we want instead of expecting it to happen right away.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book, Squished. It was funny, relatable, and had a good lesson about family and patience. I recommend this book to anyone who has a ton of siblings or barely any room! And I would really recommend this to people who need to earn money to get their own things instead of just asking their parents for money.

Thank you so much for reading this!

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

By: Jeff Kinney

This week I started reading Diary Of A Wimpy Kid By: Jeff Kinney. The book is about a character Greg and his so-called “horrible life.”

Greg has a mom, a dad, and two brothers. His older brother's name is Rodrick. Rodrick is a teenager he is going through that grumpy, old/young, annoyed teenager stage.

Greg also has a little brother, Many. I’m not sure how old Manny is, but I think he is a toddler. Manny can be a trouble maker sometimes. Manny is like a dime compared to a quarter (A.K.A Manny compared to a person in his family.)

I hope you enjoyed my R&R this week. I’ll keep you posted. Bye.

I’m at this really shocking chapter of the book called ‘’Journey's End.’’And it’s shocking because is the story is over? There is still more to the book.Why would the author put that chapter title there?  anyways let me tell you some of the events that happened in this chapter. They finally made it their hometown and everyone thought the adventure was over or was it.

because in the middle of the night the little Captain was gays and out into the sea but it mysterious Great Wave came and carried a ship with scurvy boot the pirate on it back out in  the sea and so I'm thinking scurvy boot was not really close with them at all because he just left them like he didn't even leave saying goodbye he is definitely hiding something

My prediction is that  scurvy boot is going to hide his treasure and the little Captain and his is going to go find it. because the next chapter of this book is called the Pirates treasure so that's giving obvious predictions for what will happen next right? and also shows a picture of them when the treasure chest. so that's all it for this week see you next time guys

Shadow Weaver

This week I continued Shadow Weaver.

Things are starting to get very suspicious with Dar, Emmeline’s shadow (Who can speak to her).

If I didn't tell you last time I wrote, Dar told Emmeline that before she was a shadow she was a human just like Emmeline except she wasn’t blessed by the Cerielia Comet.

She died in a store where they make dresses, and other clothing.

If I didn't tell you as well, Emmeline met a family, with another child named Lucas, who was also blessed by the Cerielia Comet,

except he was given the power of light singing, he can direct sunlight over plants that need to grow under sunlight over a long period time, he can make them grow in under 5 minutes.

This family took in Emmeline immediately after she told them ‘what happened’ with her family (She lied because she thought they would turn her in to her family if she told the truth).

I have many predictions focusing on Dar, and that she is going to betray Emmeline, even though she has been with her since the beginning of Emmmeline’s life. Emmeline trusts Dar with all her heart, and even before she met Lucas’s family, she thought that Dar was her only friend.

I think Dar will betray her because she is telling Emmeline to perform a ritual so Dar can become flesh and blood.

Even Emmeline is starting to get uneasy about this ‘ritual’.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my reading response, and thanks for reading!

In this book there are the Evers which can live forever. For someone to become an Ever they must have to be turned into one by another Ever. There is a girl named Este who turned almost all of the Evers. Because she turned a lot, she is the leader of the group. But her memories about how she was turned into an ever was coming back making her stressed.

Her Memory

Este's parents have died, and she was living with her grandparents. She was treated really badly and was running away from the house into the woods. While she was running she met up with a bear who started chasing her. She was at the end of the land and there was a river that was ice. She had no choice but to try going across the river because the bear was about to leap on her. But she was too heavy and fell into the river. She was shouting splashing for help with nothing to hold on to. When she was about to freeze to death, someone pulled her up, saving her.

— — — — — — —— — — — — — —— — — — — — —— — — — — — —— — — — — — —— —

I think Este has guts by running away from her home. I think this was the wrong thing to do because she would probably get caught and get into even more trouble. She probably regretted it when she was being chased by a bear. I wonder if her grandparents didn’t care that she was missing because of how horrible they always treated her.

What frustrates me about this character is that she could have just stood up for herself, and not run away. Maybe she thought that they would not listen to her. Or maybe they would even punish her for saying such a thing.

I predict that the person who raised her out of the water is a much more friendly person who wanted to help. I am confused how she didn’t fall into the water as well because she is lifting Este up making her much heavier.

Millionaires for the month

By: Stacy McAnulty

This week I continued reading Millionaires for the month By: Stacy McAnulty

Now in the book Felix and Benji have received their reward, and are living the life. Benji hires a driver to drive him everywhere, and Felix has gone out to eat.

As you can see they both had different reactions. Benji bought a driver which is really expensive. But Felix on the other hand goes out to dinner. Which is less expensive than Benji’s.

As you can see, Felix is spending the money wisely; meanwhile Benji is going all out.

I would probably be in between the two of them. I would spend wisely, but also get really expensive stuff.

I hope you enjoyed my R&R this week. I’ll keep you posted.

3/25/26

Hi Guys, this week I continued reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and I am so close to finishing the book so let me tell you all about what happened in the book.

Katniss was found by the careers and Peeta, and when they saw Katniss, Katniss was climbing the tree as fast as she could. When Glimmer (a girl from district 1) tried to climb the tree she fell. The Careers stopped trying to kill Katniss and changed strategies. They were going to wait her out until she climbed back down. Katniss went to sleep, but when she woke up, this little girl from district 11, helped her by pointing out that there was a bee hive a couple branches above her. This was not a normal beehive, this was a Traker Jackers nets. Their sting was poisonous.

In my opinion, I think that Peeta should have gone by himself in the beginning of the games like Katniss because Katniss could hunt and keep herself away and hidden from the careers so she doesn’t get killed and get a little feel of the vibe of the arena of the games. But Peeta just went straight to the alliances, instead of finding just going straight to the alliances, instead he should  have found  resources and bodies of water like Haymitch told Katniss and Peeta to do.

I don’t exactly have a prediction because I finished the book but I do have one about the next book.

I predict that in the next book, Katniss and Peeta will go back to the hunger games because they were such good tributes.

That’s all I have for this week…Byeeeeee!❤

This week I started reading What Do We Know About the Chupacabra by Pam Pollack and Meg Belviso. This book is about all the facts of Chupacabra,  which was first seen in Puerto Rico. But some people think it's not real. I think it's real.

On May 22 1995, Francisco Ruiz walked outside of his home to see that one of his goats was drained of blood with a weird puncture mark on the body of the goat. He didn't know what  kind of animal could make the mark. Although no one has seen this strange creature that made the mark, all over Puerto Rico there is a myth about a cryptide called the chupacabra. A cryptide is a noun meaning any creature that may or may not exist; sightings of various cryptids like the Trooper cobra have been reported but the existence of these creatures has not been proved or goat circle has this mysterious beef visit in Francis goes farm.

In conclusion I think that the chupacabra is real because there was lots of blood sucked out of animals and the facts checked out. Do you think the chupacabra is real?

# data[].attributes.body
This week I read Mixed Up By Kami Garcia.  And it's REALLY good. I also finished the book so I'm going to tell you all about it.

Stella had a really hard time catching up in class. She had lots of trouble reading and it was fifth grade. And there was lots of reading. So she got really behind. Her friends Emiko and Latisha noticed it but didn't want to say anything.

They liked this game called Witchlins and there was a BIG announcement about it coming on Friday. The girls were really excited.

But when the announcement came, it was a Witchlins game but you had to get the book for directions to get through the game. Her friends were really excited about it but Stella, her anger was building up by reading. It was because she would have so much trouble and her friends would be talking about the game and a section she wasn't even in yet.

But when her friends talked about it, she got really annoyed. So she got really mad at her friends and held a grudge on them. But then she learns that she has dyslexia and she then forgives her friends and they become friends again.

I think Stella was feeling nervous to tell her friends that she had dyslexia because they would have thought that they would shame her for it. But they didn't.

That's all for this week BYEEEEEEE!!!

March 25, 2026

This week I started reading Keeper of the Lost Cities Flashback. In the beginning of the book Sophie the main character gets all her hand bones broken. And Alvar got caught!

Alvar got caught because in Nightfall they left him unconscious in the fake Nightfall. Also he got stamped with a medicine that puts you to bed for days. Because he was no use to the Neverseen they wiped his memory. He isn't in exile; he now lives in a small cell in Everglen.

Fitz has a lot of grit for many reasons like his brother being part of a group trying to kidnap them and now he’s innocent. Also, during the attack he broke his ribs and got knocked unconscious and in the 4th book impaled by venom on an antenna.

I wonder what is happening with Tam because he is  a Shade and he figured out how to harness the power that caused Sophie so much pain. I wonder how he figured out how to harness Shadowflux.

This week I finished a really good book named chickenpox by:Remy Lai.Also chickenpox is fiction.

In the book chickenpox the oldest sibling has a friend over. A few days later the  friend gets chickenpox and then a few days after that a few of her younger siblings also get chickenpox because they were hanging out with her. Also the oldest siblings like school because she gets away from her other siblings. Then she gets it from her friend too and gets really mad because she is stuck with her siblings and calls it jails and she is stuck there for 10 days.

My favorite is the oldest sibling because she wants a break from her siblings and all she gets is 10 days stuck with them.

This week I have started reading the hunger games and it is really good. It is about the main character Katnipp that lives in district 12, an under populated city and is kinda poor. She lives with her sister and her mom and there is a thing happening today which is basically a draft for the hunger games. They pick one boy and one girl in each district and they fight to death and the last one standing wins. During the draft her sister, Primrose AKA Prim, got picked. And she feels so scared. But lucky for her, her sister Katnipp steps up and goes for her.

This week I continued to read “ Ride or Die” by Delialah S. Dawson. This week when I was reading the book the book revealed that the people who Brie met were  actually inside of the old park with her. As they were helping Brie out they heard a ginormous this and then had to run out of the old park. After that Brie finally got out of the old park.

I think that right now Brie is very relieved and thankful that her new friends helped her  get out of that situation.

My prediction is that Brie will continue to hang out with these new people she met and not go hang out with the Em’s anymore.

That's all for this week. I will keep you posted. Bye!

I protection from last week was right the  children and the galleon crew Are going to discover the Tangled root Island.And  crooked Ben says that a pirate lives on the island With treasure and so I'm thinking once they arrive to the island maybe the pirate made a crew and will capture them so that's my prediction.

When he arrived at the island the pirate named Scurvyboot was there but he didn't have a ship or anything he was at the tippity top of the tallest tree ,The little Captain offered a rescue to him.  scurvy boot said yes he was coming with them

I’m starting to think that Scurvyboot was keeping something from the little captain and his crew because when the children were loading all of Scurvyboots thing onto the ship,Scurvyboot brought a lot of chests onto the ship.And so I’m thinking he is hiding Treasure from them or something Secretand I'm thinking some traits for Scurvyboot he is very misterous he I think he lies a lot to cover up secrets so yeah that's all I got. anyway that's all of it for this week see you next time guys  😜

Keeper of the Lost City’s #2

This week I read Keeper of the Lost City’s book 2. In this book Sophie meets Brant. Jolie’s franca. When  Brant sees the crest that Sophie is wearing he jumps up lunges at Sophie and takes her crest. Sophie is having dreams about when Brant tells her he knows her from somewhere. His face haunting her dreams.

In this situation I would be scared half to death. Having someone you don’t know tell you they know you and then having that same person pin you down and then steel your family crest.

Sophie was really brave because Brant is half insane since Joile died in the fire. Everyone thinks that it was an accident but Grady thinks otherwise. He thinks that the black swan started the fire because they had not started the fire so who had? That's why Grady thinks that the Black Swan started the fire. He also said that he wanted nothing to do with the Black Swan and since Sophie was made by the Black Swan so ran out of there crying.

So this week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost City’s. Hope you enjoyed it.

Week 15

Eloise’s R and R

Hey Guys welcome back to another R and R. This week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Legacy by Shannon Messenger. Here is a little bit on what has been happening so far.

Sophie just got back her other memory that the black swan took from her. And they are giving it back to her sister too. (Amy) The memory of her allergic reaction. What happened in the memory was Sophie was 9 and she started hurting her sister (who was 6). Sophie realized that she was inflicting on her. When she woke up her sister had a little more of the memory to relive so she started talking to Mr. Forkle. He said that her inflicting was different. It was a line coming out of her forehead. Able to be directed to only one person. Hers now is not like that. But he did say he could fix it. But she will have to almost die. At first Sophie said No like right away. And that is still her answer but she is going to change it. Also her and Fitz and off to a rocky start. They never officially became boyfriend, girlfriend. But Fitz has called her his girlfriend a couple of times. So you never know.

Fitz overreacts way too fast. Like when he saw that Keefe and Sophie were hanging out. Keefe was just helping Sophie find her biological parents because without them she is unmatchable. And she wants to register for Fitz. Fitzs needs to get a little more information before he starts giving them the side eye and not talking to Sophie. Yeah Sophie has not talked to him as much in this book. But that is just because she is afraid of what he is going to think of her. Sophie is so sweet. She cares about what he thinks. She does not want him to be mad at her and she feels so guilty. And guilt is so bad for elves. It can break them. He has to know how much pressure she is under and has a good ‘boyfriend’ he should help her become the best she can. I also think that keefe would make a much better boyfriends for Sophie because he cares more about what she is feeling and making her know that she can say No sometimes. I think that Fitz just cares about his reputation. About what people would think about him. And being with Sophie will help that.

I predict that Sophie is going to change her mind and get her infliction fixed. I also predict that the next time that Sophie and Fitz talk they are going to make their relationship official.

That’s all I have for this week! Hope you liked it!

March 23, 2026 - Sew Totally Nala!

Hey guys! This week I started (and finished) a new book! It is called "So Totally Nala by Misako Rocks and is the 3rd book in the Bounce Back! series.😁

Nala is SO excited for fashion camp! She can’t wait to show off her style and share her version harajuku fashion with her campmates!👗

But, when Nala comes to her first day, tensions rise high. Especially with Kat, who is an amazing designer, but always accuses everyone of copying her! Nala’s new friend, Rose, loves harajuku fashion too! So, Nala feels like she should try something else, but, that doubles the pressure because designing clothes with an unfamiliar style is really hard!🧷

Soon, Nala meets her guardian spirit, a chipmunk named Timothy. Nala is excited about this, because her friends have already gotten theirs so she is super stoked! Timothy says he’s here because she’s losing confidence, but Nala doesn’t believe him! 🪡

The next day, Nala and Kat have a big fight because Kat accuses Nala of copying her! In the end, the teachers tell them that two styles can be similar and that is ok, but that doesn’t help that much. Also, the work for that day had to do with upcycling vintage pieces, which Nala isn’t good at. She wants to ask Riley (who is good at this) to help her but decides that she doesn’t need help, and she can do it on her own.🧵

In the end, after being inspired by a 90s rock and roll movie, Nala is able to come up with two amazing outfits that steal the fashion show.👠

Thanks for reading!🫶

March 19 2026

This week I started reading Keeper of the Lost Cities Nightfall. Sophie’s Human sister is in the Lost cities because her parents were kidnapped. Also Lady Gisela Probably has multiple sides because she said she would help them but they have to deliver a message.

I’m trying to debate if Lady Gisela is a good guy or bad guy. Because if Lady Gisela helps they might have a chance of not dying. Or she could just take the favor and leave them.

I also feel bad for Lady Gisela because she was  part of the Neverseen until she was given to the Ogres to be held hostage. I wonder why the Neverseen would do this? Did it have to do something with Keefe and his Legacy? For example: Keefe and  Mother “Cemented his legacy” I think that it will come back later in the series. Lady Gisela is very sly and willing to do dirty work. However Keefe is more silly and team helping.

Karen’s Sleepover

By:Ann M. Martin

This week I started reading Karen’s Sleepover By:

Ann M. Martin. The book is about Karen and her friends.

They were playing a game outside when suddenly they thought about having a sleepover. Karen decided that she would ask her parents if she could host one at her house.

Her parents said yes, so Karen started to make a list of things she needs. Karen didn’t exactly know, so she asked her sister Kristy, the sleepover master. Karen needs pizza for sure, and to make it more pizzazy she gets some decorations.

Kristy also tells her some stuff Karen and her friends can do during the sleepover. Like bake cookies, watch a scary movie, tell scary stories, stay up late, maybe even raid the fridge and try on makeup.

Finally, Karen thinks she is ready to make her invitations. She tells everyone what they need to bring, and what they are going to do. And then she sends the invitations.

This is all I’ve read this week. I’ll keep you posted. Bye.

In the book, Ivy and her friends return to their favorite school, West Anchor. Ivy missed last year because she fell down a rooftop. Then Abigail turned her into an ever, who can never die. Her roommate is Auran and it is Auran’s first year at this school. Though the school is very demanding, Auran is in top class. Ivy finds out that Auran is a genius who made it through most college tests, but her parents wanted to try out this school first.

Ivy is jealous when she notices how smart Auran is. She always got A’s in classes, but she didn’t expect how smart Auran would be. This makes me frustrated about Ivy because she could just study more and get smarter. Instead she is just standing there like Auran took over her. In this situation I would probably study as hard as I can until I am smarter than Auran. I think this shows that she is thinking negatively in this situation.This section made me think there is no reason in going to West Anchor because all she thinks is about who is higher and lower levels than her. I think one of the major themes in this book is not to compare yourself with others.

I predict that maybe she is going to try to compare herself with Auran again. I wonder if Ivy tried to catch up to Auran, Auran will try to be ahead again.

This week i have started reading millionaires for the month and it is about Felix who loves basketball and wants to get onto the travel team and Benji, who he didn't really know until they found Laura Friendly’s wallet on a field trip and decide to do the right thing and give it to the police, AFTER taking $20 for some food there because its not like they have her address or something. And after a few days, she comes to their school for a visit, and also to talk to the boys about a deal and stealing $20 she said it wasn't right to steal, and also had an offer for them. Sorry to leave you on a cliff hanger but that's all what i've read so far.

The Hunger Games: The Balled Of Songbirds and Snakes

# data[].attributes.body
This week I've been reading The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbids and Snakes By Suzanne Collins. I just started reading this book THIS WEEK so there isn't that much happening right now.

But Cornelius Snow was standing in line for the Hunger Games to see who would get picked. And this girl got picked and her name was Lucy Gray Barid. She seems like a wild girl, she was singing while she was coming upstairs singing some song. Then she yelled something to the crowd saying “My friends call me Lucy Gray, I hope you will too.”

Then she went through the doors and screamed. People thought they saw snakes there.

I think Lucy Gray is brave because how would she be crying being called for tribute? I would be soooo nervous. Like will I even survive?

THATS ALL FOR THIS WEEK BYEEEEEEE

# data[].attributes.body
Hi guys! This week I started a new series called The Hunger Games. Let me tell you everything about it.

The main character is Katniss Everdeen, and she lives in district 12 out of 13. Every year the Capitol, (District 13) hosts a game called the Hunger Games. The rules of the Hunger Games are simple but horrifying. You have to send something called a tribute, someone who is picked to go to the Hunger Games, and it’s one boy and one girl, these are picked randomly. They  both have to be in the age range of 12 to 18, but you can also volunteer as tribute. That’s what Katniss did with her sister, Brimrose because her name got picked.

In my opinion, I think that Katniss should be more involved with the games compared to Peeta, (the man tribute) because then she could get some dirt on them and figure out how to become allies with and not to be. Also, Hamich, (Their mentor) should be more explanatory, so Katniss and Peeta can learn more since they have never been in the game before, and he has. The only reason he can’t teach them is because he is too drunk.

I predict that when they get to the Capitol, they will start to feel a tiny little bit better about it since their brains can process that they are literally walking right through the gateway to death.

That’s all I have for this week byeeeee!!!❤

Week 14

Eloise’s R and R

This week I continued reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Flashback by Shanon Messenger. Here is a little bit on what has been happening.

Sophie and Fitz were stuck in the hospital and had a lot of time to catch up. But now they are out and Fitz and Biana are getting used to having Alvar in Everglen. And Sophie is getting used to having 5 bodyguards and doing training. She has her sling now and she is going back to Foxfire soon. But she still does not know when she is going to see Fintan or when Flori her gnome bodyguard, is going to find the song that heals for echoes. Right now Fitx and Sophie just tried again to retrieve memories from Alvar and did not succeed.

I really believe that all of Alvar's memories are gone. And that he really wants to become a different person. I feel really really bad for Alvar because his brother hates him and does not trust him. He barely wants to be in the same room as him. And even Biana, she is not as bad as Fitz but their parents had to convince them to hang out with Alvar for 10 days. And in return they both get to do whatever they want. For some time. For example Fitz got to retrieve Alvar's memories again because he hung out with Alvar. Alvar feels like a doll. Gets lugged around, doesn't get to do whatever he wants. He even has a bracelet on his ankle that can make him pass out if he tries to light leap or leave Everglen without the council's permission. It could even make him sleep for days. How do you think that makes Alvar feel? He has feelings too. But none seems to care, especially not Fitz. Maybe only Fitz.

I predict that Biana will start to warm up to Alvar and trust him more. And then she is going to convince Fitz that he is innocent. Then Fitz is going to stay a little suspicious but then warm up.

That's all I have for this week!

Byeeeeee Guys!!!!❤

This week I continued reading “ Ride or Die” by Delilah S. Dawson. Here's a short review from what I read this week. The people that Bire met from inside the old abandoned park were still there. Brie started sharing to them what happened she told them that Emily Bell and the other girls left her there for a dare. They immediately jumped to Brrie’s defense and were saying that they didn't sound like friends.

I think that Brie is starting to get closer with CJ, Dawn, and Trip, therefore I think that they will help Brie get out of the old amusement park.

My prediction is that Brue will get out of the old amusement park with the help of CJ, Dawn, and Trip.

I will keep you guys posted, Bye!

The Little captain and his girl picked up two new sailors Titch and Fred that were stuck in the 7th Tower  which they went to after stealing the diamond from the bullfrog in the 12th Tower.And now the children, the rescued Sailors and the Never sink were on their way home.Land house the little Captain they have arrived we could see their own  High  Dunes on their very shore.

It was a boat named The Galleon There were three men on that boat And had hooked up to the never-sink and took it with them.

The children thought that the mysterious man at the HelmOf the boat was a ghost I'm thinking I think the man is a ghost. but the man at the helm was crooked Ben And I'm guessing he is the captain of the Galleon And he told the story about an island called the Tangleroot IslandAnd my prediction for next week is that I  think the children the rescued Sailors and the men on board of the galleon we'll go discover this island anyway I hope my prediction is right for next week bye guys 😜

The Aftermyth

By Tracy Wolff

In the Aftermyth Penelope made it out of the waterfall  and ran through the forest at top speed worrying if she got her coin in time. She kind of got it on time. There was one person left to get their gumball. Yes I did say gumball. You needed to put your coin in and out came the gumball. But it was not really a gumball. It was a plastic ball that held either a gold apple for Aphrodite, a gold forget-me-not for Hades, a gold owl for Athena, a gold trident for Poseidon, and a gold lighting bolt for Zeus.

And can you guess which one it is? I know you're probably thinking she got the gold owl  because she wanted to be in the Athena house. But noooooooooooooooooo stories don't work like that. She got the one that she wanted the least. A GOLD APPLE FOR APHRODITE. Yes I did say she got a gold apple.

Imagine being Penolpe not being the cabin you wanted. She got the one she wanted the least but she made a friend named Fifi. Fifi started calling Penolope  Ellie  so from now on I am going to refer to her as Ellie.

But the life lesson in this section is that you can do great things even when you least expect it. Thanks for reading!

March 17, 2026 - The Girl Who Drank The Moon

Hello! This week I started reading The Girl Who Drank The Moon by Kelly Barnhill. I only read 2 chapters, but it already looks like a good book!📚

The first chapter is about a mother talking to her child. She’s telling her child about The Witch who lives in the woods. Apparently, on The Day Of Sacrifice, The Protectorate takes the youngest child into the woods where The Witch takes the child. If they don’t give The Witch a child, The Protectorate will be in danger. No one knows why they do this, and no one has seen the witch before. 🧙🏾‍♀👶🏼

I think it’s weird that no one has seen The Witch before, because if they have never seen The Witch before, how do they know she’s real. Also I think it’s kind of crazy and sad that The Protectorate is sending away their own children on basically the gateway to death.😭🪦

Chapter 2 is on The Day Of Sacrifice. Grand Elder Gherland is getting ready for the procession. He’s thinking about how The Elders own everything and how he is so special when his nephew, Antain bursts in. Then, the whole town walks to the cursed house where The Elders are going to take the baby from. But, they run into a problem. The mother of the doomed child will not let her baby go. The Elders try to coax the mother but she won’t budge. Eventually, The Sisters Of The Star take the mother away to the tower and give Gherland the baby. When they leave the baby in the woods everyone is thinking they will never see this baby again. Fortunately, they are wrong.👴🏻👶🏼🌟

Thanks for reading my R&R! Bye!😉🫶

This week I started reading The Evers Never Thirteen by Stacy Mcanulty.

This book is about evers who lives forever. It is hard even imagining living for infinity. I think the main character Ivy feels that way too. When she fell off a roof top and was about to die, her friend Abigail made her an ever so she won’t die.

I feel bad that she was turned into an ever because she got confused and creepy about it. I think it is because living forever means you will have to see people whom you love die, and you will never see yourself age. NEVER! I am sure she did not want to die, but I think she regrets her friend from turning her in an ever.

I think Abigail turned Ivy an ever because she didn’t want to lose her. But she feels regret and guilt after the event. I think it is because she knows that she changed Ivy’s life completely by making her an ever. Though I feel sorry for Ivy, I feel bad for Abigail because though Ivy forgives her, she doesn't forgive herself at all. I wonder if Ivy actually forgives Abigail.

I understand why Abigail turned her into an ever, because she was so scared that Ivy was going to die, so she wasn’t thinking properly. This makes me think that they really have a close friendship. But I think the life lesson for Abigail is to think before doing anything.

I think the title fits this story because they are probably 12 years old, but they are never going to turn thirteen! Or maybe if I continue reading, Ivy and her friends are going to turn back to mortal humans.

Hello! This week I finally finished Follow Me, and something weird occurred.

After Lela and Max got stolen from the ghost girl Tamal soon gets taken after. Everything seems grey in Tamal’s eyes and her parents can’t even see her, but then, Tamal sees the ghost girl once again, this time when Tamal asks why she took him here, the ghost girl responds and says she's ordered to do it by the builder of the haunted house named William. This was one of the biggest secrets of the book, because we all thought that the ghost girl was going to rule for eternity, but I guess not because William had planned to keep everyone with him for eternity.

Tamal is a very optimistic person and never gives up, so he made a plan to break everyone free by talking through a ghost talker with his dad, and asking him to burn down the house. After Tamal’s dad put gas on the porch, he lit a match and watched the house burn. (Tamal is a ghost right now, he can’t feel anything) After the house burnt down, everyone came back to life, except for the ghost girl. To this day Tamal hopes that the ghost girl has found her mom and brother Theodore.

EPILOGUE: After Tamal and his friends are done looking at the-now upright graves, they pass a group of friends. They say that they are going to check out the “haunted stuff”, but Tamal tells them that it’s not haunted anymore. The group ignores her and walks past while saying to each other “that's easy for them to say! But I've heard voices of some of the kids who passed on. They told me to come up here. They wanted to play a game…’’

Thank you for reading my R&R, and I’ll see you next time for when I talk about Bury Me.

This week I read Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. What happened in the story was Harry got to the train station, Kings Cross and was searching for 9 and 3 quarters, but it was not found anywhere. Then he saw people that had the same luggage as him and copied what they did. They went through the wall. Harry then tried to go through the wall and it worked. Then he went on his train and started to go to Hogwarts. Later in the train ride he got some chocolate frogs.

I predict that Harry is going to get surrounded by people and feel like he is famous. I also predict that the sorting hat will put him in Gryffindor. Or maybe he will get put in a different house, but later get switched. I think this because he wants to be in Gryffindor and he will be able to pick. On a similar note it seems Ron who he met on the trail would get bad luck and get picked to go to a worse group instead of Gryffindor.

I also wonder why Harry always gets what he wants, but that is a story for another time. BYE!

This week I started reading Lodestar, the 5th book of Keeper of the Lost Cities  by Shannon Messenger. In the end of Neverseen we learn that Fitz’s brother and Keefe are 1 of Sophie's and Fitz’s friends who join the Neverseen. But Keefe is just extracting information from the Neverseen. But before that Sophie and Fitz were very depressed because they all at one point ran from the council.

I have a prediction that there  will be a big event for the Neverseen and Sophie and Fitz and the rest of them will go and fall into a trap.

I wonder how Dex progressed in hacking into the files to locate the Neverseen members.  Also I wonder if Sophie’s going to heal Prentice because if she does it too soon since he lost everything. What happens if the trauma just breaks his mind again. Also I am worried about Prentice’s son Wiley. If something happens his mind might shatter.

Also I wonder how the Neverseen will react if they realize what's happening? Will they kill him with Everblaze? I think they can’t trust Keffe because Sophie found a tracker inside his cloak. Thanks for reading!

This week I was reading The Hunger Games Mocking Jay By Suzanne Collins. And I finished the book! And there was a TON of tea happening so sit back and relax and hear the TEAAAAAAAA.

So Katniss and Peeta did make up and someone was going to KILL Katniss because they basically didn't like her. And Peeta of course saved her too.

Then a bomb dropped on Prim!!! She died and Gale knew it was going to happen and didn't tell Katniss. That's why Katniss chose Peeta over Gale.

How Katniss killed President Snow was that she met up with him and President Snow wanted to have peace but she took her arrow and shot him!!!

Katniss and Gale then had three kids, two boys and one girl ♥️. Then it was a happily ever after!!!

I think Peeta and Katniss have a good relationship because Katniss always makes sure Peeta's okay, and Peeta always makes Katniss comfortable. BYEEEEEEE

03/12/26 Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down

This week I have started reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down and it's about Greg Heffley as he tries to prove he’s not as hopeless as everyone thinks, especially after his mom decides he needs to be more “creative” and cut back on video games. Greg starts convincing himself he might actually be destined for fame, so he tries out different ideas to figure out what his big talent could be. Things get even crazier when he and Rowley decide to make a homemade horror movie for a school contest, which ends up being way more chaotic than they expected. Greg also gets dragged into playing the French horn in the school band, which leads to a huge disaster at the Halloween party. Throughout the book, Greg keeps trying to take shortcuts to success, but everything blows up in his face in classic Wimpy Kid style. In the end, he realizes that even if he’s not a superstar, life is still pretty entertaining when he’s just being himself.

Maisie’s R&R 3/12/26

I continued reading a Land of stories beyond the kingdoms. This is the fourth book.I am going to write about the third book with a grim warning because I haven’t read a lot and I finished the third book.

In the third in the series the army started attacking all of the kingdoms in bits of the army but some of the villages joined in with the army on the kingdom's sides and outnumbered them. The leader, the masked man, saved most of the army for the fairy kingdom because that is where the fairy godmother is and the masked man is the fairy godmother's son and they also have a dragon. But after the fairy godmother defeats the dragon she starts to die because she was really sick before and then shedies and Alex becomes the new fairy god mother, Alex is the new fairy godmother she is the fairy godmother's granddaughter and Alex is also the son of the masked man and he said he died before but he didn’t and she just found out and on he's trying to kill her and her brother.

My favorite character is Alex because she is the new fairy godmother . She is also out going. She is also really nice.

I will keep you posted byyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for reading.

After school, Charlie runs to his grandparents so they can tell him stories about Mr. Wonka and his candy factory. years ago people pretended to be workers but stole his recipes, so he closed the factory for ten years. Then the factory started up again, but no workers come or go.

The mystery of who the workers are changes when Charlie's dad tells them about the five golden tickets. Charlie only gets one chocolate bar a year, so he has no hop of winning.

Week 13

Eloise’s R and R

Hey Guys, this week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Flashback by Shannon Messenger. Here is a little bit on what I have been reading.

Sophie, Keefe, their bodyguards and all of the Vacker family. (Extended to) Are going to Alvars trial to see if he is going to stay in his dungeon or going to get an apartment in Everglen. After a short discussion Alvar is getting an apartment. Fitz is not happy, and was very angry when he found out that his parents knew. So he went to where he practiced fighting with his bodyguard. Sophie came to talk him into going back to live in Everglan because when he found out that Alvar was moving in he moved out. Then the Neverseen showed up and trapped all of them in a force field.

In this part Sophie is trying her best to calm herself down. She is trying to show the Neverseen that she is not scared. But I know that deep down she is terrified. Last time when she was like this she got kidnapped. Even when she was with a friend. She did not have a bodyguard back then but Sandor is as stuck as she is. Everything that she is trying to do to get her friends out of this situation is not going to work. SHe just keeps waiting and trying to stall them. She is scared that she will get kidnapped again and this time they won't find her and her friends. This time she won't make it.

I predict that at the very last second Dex is going to come with Tam. Tam is a shade that can break down the force field. I predicted that right at the moment Sophie gives up they are going to come to rescue her and take them to Elwin.

That’s all I have this week! Thanks for reading!

The Aftermyth

By Tracy Wolff

In the Aftermyth Penople runs out of the Hall and back into the woods. Soon she hears this soft sound of rushing water. She hesitates but then the little tiny lights are back and push her towards the noise. When she gets there there is a waterfall that is like nothing you have seen before it flows up not down. Guess what the coin is floating on top of the waterfall.  Penelope jumps but lands in the water. The current is too strong so Penelope flips herself over to get to her stomach so she can see better. She is half drowning when she gets the coin. This is where I stopped reading. Is she going to get out of the water?! Will she keep the coin?!

The main idea of this part is that you can try and try though if you don’t succeed you still have something to show for it. That I mean you can prove that you did something hard and you may have not won or succeeded but you have something to show for it. That you tried.

In this case what Penelope has to show is wet clothes and a coin (if she still has a coin). Imagine if you were Penolpe I would be sad, mad, and a whole lot of rage. I can imagine Penolope having a breakdown but then picking herself up and moving past that.

You can be brave or you can believe. Penelope believes. She could have quit at the beginning but she kept at it till she got what she wanted. This is my R&R!!!

Where Are The Aliens?

This week I started reading Where Are The Aliens? The book is about how big space is, how much time space has been here, how aliens got here, are they real or not , where they are right now, how they came, and how they are different from us.

The first thing that was surprising to me when I started reading this book was how old the universe is. Let's start with the Big Bang:  scientists believe that the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago, that is 1.38 billion of my life times.  Fun fact: the Big Bang created the Milky Way. The Milky Way is the Galaxy that we live in. What I thought was  interesting: The Milky Way is also a very yummy chocolate bar. The Milky Way is 13.61 billion years old, that is way older than my mom. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years wide. One light year is the distance travels in a year.  A light year (about 5.88 trillion miles or 9.46 trillion kilometers.) so the milky way is about 5.88e+17 miles that is a lot of miles.

In conclusion it's crazy to think about how old and big the universe is. It's so hard to think about it, imagine going home to your mom telling you that the Milky Way is 13.61 billion years old. I can't wait to learn more. I'll talk about the aliens next time.

This week I continued to read “Ride or Die” by Delialah S. Dawson.

Right now Brie is still stuck on the other side of the Amusement park, but a group of people were just walking by and heard her. The names of the people who walked by were CJ, Dawn, and Trip. They were older kids so they knew that Brie was probably in trouble and needed some help.

I think that right now Brie is definitely very terrified because she is trapped in an old amusement park and doesn't know when she will get out or if she will get out at all. I feel very bad for Brie because her so-called friends abandoned her, and if they come back it probably won't be until morning, so she will  be there all night.

My prediction is that Brie will get out but the other girls will act all innocent and act like they didn’t do anything at all. I will keep you guys posted and will let you know what happens next. Bye!

Millionaires For The Month

By: Stacy Mcanulty

This week I started reading Millionaires For The Month By: Stacy Mcanulty.

The book is about two boys named Benji and Felix.

Benji is normal. He is in upper class. Which means his family can pay for food, clothes, a nice house, and can go out for dinner whenever. They have nothing to worry about.

Benji says that a 20 dollar bill is like a penny to a billionaire.

Felix on the other hand is in between lower class and middle class. He has a house, has food, has clothes but his mom has to work three jobs just to keep the house.

I think that Benji should be more like Felix and care less about spending and more about the world around him.

I hope you enjoyed my R&R this week. I'll keep you posted.

Mar 9, 2026 - The Land Of Stories: An Authors Odyssey

Hello! This week I started reading The Land Of Stories: An Authors Odyssey by Chris Colfer. This story seems to be really really Adventurous so, let's dive in!🖤

Basically what's happened so far is that the Masked Man has gathered all of the different characters from different books that are villains such as the Wicked Witch of the West, Captain Hook and the Queen of Hearts. He's gathered all of them to create this Mass Army and basically destroy the fairy tale world and make it a world ruled by him where everyone sits inside a giant ditch which is exactly what was going to happen if not for Goldilocks and Jack and every single one of their friends. They helped the kings and queens of the kingdoms escape from being as the Queen of Hearts would say “Off With Their Heads” and then took all of the kings and queens to a secret refugee camp and one of the old dwarf mines.👑

Then, the story switches to Alex and Conner's view. They have gathered all of the protagonists from Conner’s stories and are all holed up in Mrs. Bailey’s hospital. They are about to put on a play called “The Life And Times Of Queen Trobella” which is about Trobella (as you may have already guessed).🎬

That's all I read so far! Have a great rest of your day!😊

Hi guys! This week I started a new book called Unraveled by Shannon Messenger. This book is in Keefe’s perspective instead of Sophie’s. So let me tell you all about it.

Keefe ran away to the forbidden cities to not let his mom continue her Setellarlune project on him. When he went to the forbidden cities, he decided to figure out where in London Ethan Wright and Eleneor Wright lived.

But when he stopped by a random library to try to find out where Ethan lived, he saw Avalar at the Library.

In my opinion, I think that Keefe should have less trust in Alvalar since Avalar has done some pretty horrid things–but. Avalar could help Keefe since he has been hiding in the forbidden cities for quite a while now.

I predict that Keefe will soon figure out where Ethan and Elenor lived.

That’s all I have for this week. Byeeeee!❤

This week I started reading a book called Invasion Of the Overworld. It is about a kid named Gameknight999 who plays Minecraft. He is not just a player but is a bully who goes to other people’s worlds and does as much destruction as he can before getting kicked out of the world. But suddenly when he was playing Minecraft as usual, he got sucked into the game world! He was confused and wanted to go back. But when the sun was starting to set, the monsters came out and his mood changed from confused to terrified, now running for his life. After running for a few minutes he found a village that was getting attacked by the monsters too…

In this part I noticed that Gameknight999 is an oppressor to people who get their worlds destroyed. I wonder why he just keeps on bullying people. I think he started bullying because he got his creation destroyed by a person like him, or because he has no friends. I also wonder why he doesn't understand that destroying other people’s creations can make other people heated or heartbroken. What I wonder the most is whether he is the quiet kid at school or the bully he is when he plays Minecraft.

This section made me feel depressed because no one knows who he actually is. I predict that maybe Gameknight999 will change to being good and helpful to others after he realizes how much damage he has done. I was surprised that Gameknight999 would be so mean. I thought that he was more friendly and warm at the start. And maybe I am still right!

For this week’s new read and respond, I will report on my very horrifying book; Follow Me.

First off, I predicted that the ghost girl that haunts Tamal was his new friend Lela, but that was wrong. Instead, It looked a lot different than I thought it would… But we have something else to talk about, so you know how Tamal was the only one that got haunted by the ghost girl, well there’s been a change. Usually when Tamal sees the ghost girl his friends don’t see her, but one time Max saw her, and heard her. And the next time Tamal saw the ghost girl, it was facing Max…

So that leads to my conclusion that it is now after Max, but Max doesn’t live in the ghost girl's house so how is that possible? We will talk about it next week.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R! (This short R&R is all I had time for😭)

# data[].attributes.body
Hello! This week I neared the end of Follow Me, and something terrible happened to Tamal.

After Lela had just got taken by the ghost girl, it came after Tamal, so he ran home to try and avoid it. At this point I bet this is the most survivor's guilt Tamal has ever felt in this book. At home Tamal encountered it again, this time there was no escaping. The ghost girl lifted her arm and put it around Tamal’s head… and then he was gone.

Everything looked gray in his eyes, and when he walked over to his parents they couldn’t hear him or see him. This was bad, really bad. The only upside is that he can try and help his friends. I predict that he is going to see his friends and a lot of other little kids that were stolen. Then, Tamal is going to make a plan to free all of the kids including his friends.

I read a little bit more in the story, but I wanted to leave you on a cliff hanger for when I write my final R&R.

Thank you for reading my R&R, and I hope that you read my last and final R&R were you will find out what happens to Tamal and his friends.

This week I started reading Keeper of the Lost Cities Neverseen by Shannon Messenger. In this book there are a lot of things going on! First Sophie and her friends (Fitz, Biana, Dex, Keefe, and Della Fitz’s mom) are on the run and working with the black swan. The Neverseen, the bad guys, are tracking them.

First I am going to talk about Sophie's abilities. First of all she is a telepath. (She can read minds and can do telekinesis) this is her main talent. What I find interesting about this is that she has enhanced talents. Also she is a cognate with Fitz that means she is a better telepath when he helps. I feel like in the end Fitz and Sophie will stop the Neverseen but they will escape. In Everblaze the Neverseen had an army so that shows  power. Also she is an inflictor that means she can cause people to feel things. In the first book she used this to save herself in Paris when she got kidnapped by the Neverseen.

I wonder what the Neverseen is up to, there is a virus spreading. I wonder if it’s up to them. Thanks for reading

☬Shadow Weaver☬

This week I started reading a book called Shadow Weaver by MarcyKate Connolly. So far, the story is mostly about the two main characters, Emmeline and Dar. Emmeline is the main, main character and she is a Shadow Weaver. This means she can actually craft with shadows! For example, she can take a shadow from a big tree and turn it into a hyperrealistic dog or anything else she wants to make. It is a really cool power that I wish I had.

The way Emmeline got these powers is because she was blessed by the Cerelia Comet. This is a special comet that travels by Earth every once in a while in the book.

Because of the comet, Emmeline is what people call Wayward.

Her parents are actually really scared of her magic, which is kind of sad. They try to keep her inside because they think her shadow magic is dangerous or weird, but Emmeline just wants to be herself.

Now, let's talk about Dar. Dar is a shadow, but she is also Emmeline’s best friend. She isn't just a flat shape on the ground; she can talk and has a big personality. She is way more brave and sassy than Emmeline is. Even though no one else can see or hear Dar, she is always there for Emmeline.

They have a secret bond that is super important to the story because Dar is the only one who truly understands how Emmeline feels.

I am only on chapter 13, but things are getting pretty intense! Emmeline and Dar are trying to figure out a way for Dar to become a real person with flesh and blood.

Dar really wants to be able to feel things and be human, not just a shadow. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea yet, but I want to keep reading to see if they can

actually make it happen or if they get caught by the Noble who is looking for Wayward kids!

The captain and his crew been though lately, after leaving from the mystic city they came across a Whirlpool witch swept away the two Sailors Dirk, Gus , into father Bluecrab’s sea garden where Father Bluecrab’s and his Daughters were planning to eat them which they also Escaped from.

Week 12

Eloise’s R and R

Hey Guys! This week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Nightfall by Shannon Messenger.

Here is a little bit of what is happening right now.

Sophie and her friends just meet up with the black swan. And Mr Forkle didn't die! Well half of him did but not all. Mr Forkle has a twin identical brother. And their parents just told everyone they had one son. One would go to school one day and the other would go the next. Because multiple births aren't normal in the lost cities. And Lady Cadence is now part of the black swan! Keefe, Sophie, and Lady Cadence go to Ravagog to report a message to their leader and get a VERY important hairpin.

This book and this whole series makes me think so much. After one secret comes out and settles another one comes after it. I don’t know how Sophie handles it. She is so brave, I know I have said it before but it is true. She is also so strong, she handles everything so well. Like when she realized that elves have different ways of telling how old someone is so when Sophie found out she was 9 months older then she actually thought she was. SHe aged a year in 2 hours! Or when she realized that Mr. Forkle was not actually dead. When one of her best friend betrayed her and came back to her. How does she keep her life together?

That is all I have for this week! Thanks for reading!

Byeeeee❤

Hi guys, this week I continued reading a book that I started reading in France and it’s the book after Unlock, which I also read in France. Let me tell you about it.

Sessions at Foxfire have started again because Magnate Leto thinks that it will show the neverseen some power from the council. To catch up on work, since students haven’t had classes in quite a while, one hour will be added to the morning and the afternoon. Since Sophie and Fitz have a whole extra hour in Telepathy lessons, Teirgan wanted them to go through an Cognate Inquisition, and this is making second thoughts about Fitz in Legacy.

In my opinion, I think that Sophie should be less dramatic about the Telepathy Inquisition so she can make the most of it. Also I think that Sophie should be more forceful during the meeting with Trix.

I predict that Trix might help Sophie and Rayani locate Lady Gisela but it might take a little persuading.

That’s all I have for this week…Byeeeee!❤

Save me a seat

By: Sarah Weeks, Gita Varadarajan

This week I started reading Save Me A Seat by Sarah Weeks and Gita Varadarajan. The book is about two kids Ravi and Joe. Ravi is Indian and Joe is American.

Joe has a harder time with school, he doesn’t like the noise, and there is this kid Dillon Samreen, the school bully. He usually targets Joe, he isn’t the toughest kid out there. Joes isn’t the smartest either.

Ravi on the other hand is very smart. He is also very neat. Ravi is not really the target here, but he is a goody-tusus.

I hope you enjoyed my R&R this week. Bye.

This week I was reading The Hunger Games By Suzanna Collins and there is a lot of tea happening!!!!

So first Katniss is ofc in WAR still. And Peeta got to see Katniss, but Peeta’s mind got hijacked by the Council. If you don't know they made Peeta hate Katniss. And now he basically hates Katniss.

I think Peetas feeling nervous when he sees Katniss, that's why he always runs away from her, or scares her off.

Katniss and Gale are kinda of a thing right now because Gale KISSED KATNISS and so now they're basically dating.

I predict that Katniss and Peeta are going to make up soon. THATS ALL FOR THIS WEEK BYEEEEEEE!!!!!

This week I continued to read “Ride Or Die” by Delilah S. Dawson. This week as a dare from Emily Bell, who is the birthday girl, they dared Brie to go into the other side which is the  old abandoned park.  She has to find an item that has a date or something that had a sign on it they would let her back into the real amusement park. Long story short Brie found an item and she asked to come back in but nobody was there.

I think that right now Brie is very scared and is wondering how she will get out or if she will get out. Brie has also said multiple times to herself that she doesn't want to be there.

My prediction is that Brie will get out of the old park but the Em’s wont be there at all.

That’s it for today, but I will keep you posted bye!

The Aftermyth by Tracy Wolff

March 2 - March 6

In the Aftermyth Penelope walks into the Grand Hall of Anaximander, the founder of the school. She’s stunted by the sight of the tall holographic man standing in the middle of the solar system. Then the walls, floor, and everything start to move. Then stop all of a sudden and the coin is halfway across the room. She was completely stunned when the holographic man walked over to her and reached out to grab her hand. Penelope didn't want  to be rude so she reached out and surprisingly in one fluid motion the holographic man swept  her up.

Reading this I was thinking why doesn't Penelope just get a different coin? Though as I kept reading I realized that whenever Penelope walks away to find a different coin. She has this nagging feeling in her stomach that keeps pulling her back towards that coin, but what if that's not her coin what if she has to push away that feeling to get to a different coin and what if that's not the coin that she wants and there's always a possibility that she doesn't even get a coin in time. She had 30 minutes to start, and now she only has 15. So I don't know if she'll actually get a coin.

Stories. People talk about stories all the time but do they really know what a story is? I have a quote from the Aftermyth that I really like. It's actually on the back of the book and it's about stories. Here is it “Secrets are only hidden until they are spoken. And promises are only kept until they are broken. Stories though… stories can last forever. They can be told over and over again. They can grow, they can shrink, they can take up all the space in the room, and sometimes they can even slink away and disappear. Every once in a while, though, a story can do so much more.  Every once in a while, if a person telling the story is very, very brave, it can do the most magical, most miraculous thing of all. It can change everything.”- The Aftermyth That's the quote from the back of the book and it's more like a little section of the book. It's a very interesting thing about stories because I never really thought of stories as anything big till now. This is my R&R! Thanks for reading. Bye!

Mar 2, 2026-The Land Of Stories: The Wishing Spell

Hi guys! This week I started the series The Land Of Stories by Cris Colfer. I only read a little, but it seems really interesting!🤩

The story starts with Snow White walking down the prison hall. She stops at the end, where the baddest prisoner is kept, The Evil Queen. Snow White asks The Evil Queen why she was so cold and unafectionate to her. The Evil Queen replies that she has her own story, before she married Snow White's Father. And in that story, she says that she is the victim. Snow White is eager to learn more and demands that The Evil Queen tell her the story. The Evil Queen agrees and starts telling the story. But, she warns, this story will not be a happy one.📖

I think that maybe The Evil Queen might have been good at some point in her younger life but something happened that made her evil. I think that she might have had some heartbreak or something that had to do with a boy or man, because The Evil Queen says that she did it all for “him”.🍎

I also can relate to Snow White because if someone was rude to me my whole life I would want to know why. I think that Snow White is also curious because instead of just forgetting about The Evil Queen she visits her and asks her questions.🤔

Then, the story goes back to Alex and Conner's world. Basically what happened was that Alex and Conner’s grandmother's book, The Land Of Stories swallowed them up and they got stuck inside the book. The first thing that they saw was a sign that said “Wanted dead or alive Goldilocks”. That’s how the twins knew they were in the land of stories. Then a mysterious frog man offered them shelter for the night, where he told them about the wishing spell, the only spell that could get them back home.🐸

The next morning Alex and Conner started their journey to Rapunzel's Tower. Alex climbed up the tower, but Conner read the diary, so he knew that there was a secret staircase, this being the only time that he was actually smart. They grabbed a lock of Rapunzel's hair, which was needed for the wishing spell, and continued on their route to The Charming Kingdom.🏰

When Alex and Conner reached The Charming Kingdom, they found out that the monthly royal ball was that night so they decided to attend it. In the end they were able to receive a tour of the castle, thanks to Conner's shenanigans. When they reached the glass slippers, they were reluctant to take them because of the kindness that Cinderella showed them. But, magically, as they left, Conner found a glass slipper in his bag!🥿

I think that Alex is really smart. She knows the true meaning of the fairy tales, while the other kids just think that fairy tales are dumb. Conner, on the other hand, tries to engage himself, but always falls asleep in class! I think that the twins are polar opposites and that it might help them in The Land Of Stories.

Thank you for reading and I  hope that the rest of your day is nice!

Bye!💛😉🏰

Maisie’s R&R 3/2/2026

Tonight I continued reading the Land of Stories, a grim warning by:Chris Colfer.I am on the third book and also the Land of Stories is a fantasy book.

Sleeping Beauty  told them to stop when they got to her kingdom the saw the kingdom and the army had attacked her kingdom. When sleeping the beauty heard crying and she found andcrying baby and saved her and became her mother and named her Ash.

This week I read Harry potter and the Sorcerer's stone and this is what happened. It all started when the family started to move away to not get the letters. They went to a lighthouse and stayed there. It turns out it was actually Harry’s Birthday and nobody celebrated it. But in the night a big man came and gave Harry a cake. Harry learned a lot that day. The man's name was Hagrid and he worked at Hogwarts which is a school for witchcraft. He also learned he was a wizard and the truth about his parents. Also he learned that he was famous around there and everyone knew him for surviving Voldemort. Vern did not want Harry to go and kept saying no. When Vern finally said something rude Hagrid turned him into a pig and he had a pink curly tail.

I feel sorry for Harry because he always gets bad respect. He lied about his parents, he had to live in a cupboard under the stairs, anytime he got a letter he did not get to read it and there is much more. Vern and aunt Petunia are always treating Dudley like he is a king even when he does bad things. Whenever he does something bad he blames it on Harry. I mean imagine living like that.

Maybe later Harry would get respect and would be able to actually do things or at least be able to read his letters or get a bedroom. Or possibly he will go to a different family or just live in Hogwarts. Well we will find out later, but for this week that is it.

Follow Me

Hello! This week I followed up on the book Follow Me, and right now something unimaginable happens, let me tell you about it.

After Tamal and his friends got some evidence on how a ghost girl could truly be haunting Tamal's house, they decided to go to the library and get even more evidence. They don’t really find any information from the books, but Max finally sees it, Max finally sees the ghost girl hovering in the air. Obviously, after that, Max was spooked, and while Lela was walking Max home, they both convinced themselves that what Max saw was just a hallucination and the ghost girl is fake.

Fast forward to now, Max’s parents can’t seem to find Max, which convinces Lela that the ghost girl is real, and they told each other that they have to find him. As they're trying to find Max at the quarry, something bad happens to Lela. Lela is taken by the ghost girl and now Tamal knows he’s next. I can sense that Tamal is feeling TONS and TONS of survivor's guilt, because the ghost girl took her friends and now he’s next, and I’m just about to get to the part where I figure out how deadly the ghost girls' “murders” are.

Thank you for reading my R&R and I’ll see you next time for when I discuss Follow Me.

The Tryout

This week I started reading Tryout by Christina Soontornvat.

The book is about Christina and her best friend Meghan trying out for their school cheer team.

Christina and Meghan try so hard and are determined to make the team. Although they tried hard, they didn’t make the team.

I noticed they both had two different reactions. Christina was sad but brushed it off.

Meghan on the other hand was very upset and did not let go easily. I think that letting go of stuff easily is very important in life because whatever happens can stop you from bigger things in life.

I can relate to them because I don’t always win and that is okay. I just brush it off and move on with my life.

I think that Meghan should be more like Christina in some ways, and Christina should be more like Meghan in some ways. I’ll keep you posted bye!

This week I have started reading War Games by Alan Gratz which is about Evie Harris, a 13 year old American gymnast who travels to Berlin for the 1936 Olympics thinking it’ll be the biggest, most exciting moment of her life, but she quickly realizes the city is hiding something dark beneath all the celebration. While she’s focused on competing for a gold medal, she starts noticing how tightly the Nazis control everything and how fear hangs over the people living there. Things get even more intense when she accidentally gets pulled into a secret plot involving stolen Nazi gold, forcing her to sneak through hidden tunnels, dodge dangerous people, and figure out who she can actually trust. As the pressure builds, Evie has to decide whether to chase her Olympic dream or risk everything to stand up to the evil growing around her, making her understand that courage isn’t just about performing on a world stage—it’s about doing what’s right even when it’s terrifying.
