Morris is a book doctor. I know because he cares for all of the books.
2. Morris is caring because he gives away books.
3. Morris is gentle. I know because he helps an hurt book.]]> 2018-09-06 18:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278588355 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278590277 I believe that this book was based 10 years ago because there was none of today’s technology. I also assume this because of the characters clothing. The 2 settings in this book are a town that has been through a bad storm and the library. Morris spends most of his time in the library because he moves there for a while. These are the time and setting of the book.]]> 2018-09-06 18:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278590277 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278592346 The theme of the story is to treat others the way you want to be treated. I know this because Morris cares for the books and later in life the books start to care for Morris. I also know this because Morris is kind to the townspeople and gives them books and they are kind back. A final reason I know this is because Morris is nice and leaves his book of life for the little girl who comes to the library next.]]> 2018-09-06 18:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278592346 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278594235 I enjoyed the book very much! People who love adventure would love to read this book. My favorite part of the book was when Morris helped a book that was torn. My least favorite part of the book was when Morris left the library because all of the books were sad. I would give this book a four out of five stars for its kind characters and great theme.]]> 2018-09-06 18:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278594235 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278595131 By: Rob Buyea]]> 2018-09-06 18:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278595131 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278595612 2018-09-06 18:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278595612 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278596874 The main setting of this book was the high school the kids attended.

I know this because in the book the friends get into a quarrel about running for class president but they forgave each other. The friends also got into a fight at the party they threw after their friend (Luke)won class president and they went their separate ways but they all forgave each other. I also know this because one of the girls (Jessica) got into a fight with her father after she met him again but them she forgave him because he still loved her.]]> 2018-09-06 19:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278611459 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278612930 I loved reading the book “Saving Mr.Terupt”. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves their teacher and likes happy endings. My favorite part of this book was when Luke stood up to a bully. My least favorite part of the book was when Lexi’s mom got cancer. I would give this book five out of five stars for its relatable characters and loving teacher, Mr.Terupt.]]> 2018-09-06 19:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278612930 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/278975296 By: Jennifer A.

I know Gretal is loving because she never lets go of her father and brother. I also know Gretal is brave because she brings herself to go out past the towns cerfew and get a pully system. I know Gretal is kind because she forgives her best friend and invites her to escape with them. ]]> 2018-09-10 14:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/279414280 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/279417453 I enjoyed reading A Night Divided because it had a very good moral. I did not enjoy the part when Peter dies because I think that he should have made it across. My favorite part in the story is when Officer Müller sacrifices himself to save Gretal. I think people who love history and war books would enjoy this read. I would give this book a five out of five stars for its lovable characters and great escape plan.]]> 2018-09-10 14:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/279417453 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/279817538 The theme of the story is to be brave and fight for what’s right. I know because their neighbor Herr Krause got hurt and eventually killed trying to fight for what’s right. Another place in the story where the theme is proven in the story is when Gretal and Fritz know that digging a tunnel to escape to their father and brother in the West is illegal and could get them killed but they fight for their freedom. The last place I saw the theme in the story is when Peters life is taken because he tried to escape. These are the places in the book that I saw the theme.]]> 2018-09-11 12:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/279817538 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/280808252 Denise Vega]]> 2018-09-13 13:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/280808252 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/280808937 2018-09-13 13:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/280808937 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/281037096 Erin is a strong girl but can be a bit self conscious and is forgiving. I know Erin is strong because she stands up to people when she needs too. (Everyone except Serena). I also know Erin is forgiving because she wears a sign until everybody forgives her. I know Erin is a bit self conscious because she sometimes doesn’t know what to say or do. These are some of the character trates Erin has.]]> 2018-09-13 19:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/281037096 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/281339485 I believe the time period of this book is now because they have phones and our technology. There is more than one settings in this book. One is the middle school. Another is Erin’s house. And then there is all of the defcons that Erin uses.(There are four defcons and Erin goes to them when she’s upset with 0 being the worst). These settings are where most of the story takes place.

I know Frankie is clever because she sets up a dating profile for her dad online in secret so she can have a mom. I know Frankie is sneaky because she sneaks into Reggie’s office to find out what he is doing then makes her way out even after running into Reggie himself. I know Frankie is lovable because she has all of these great people who love and appreciate her.

I know because Virgil is shy and gets bullied by Chet a lot but by the end of the book he learns to speak up for himself. I also know because even Valencia sometimes gets bullied or picked on by Chet because of her hearing aids but she is not afraid to speak up for herself. I know that every thing happens for a reason because fate brought Valencia and Kaori together so that they could finally find Virgil. These are some themes that I took away from the story.]]> 2018-10-03 18:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/288818319 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/288820900 In the book “Smart Cookie” Frankie,her dad,and her grandmother all move into an Inn after Frankie’s mom died when she was four. Frankie doesn’t really remember her mom or any other home than the inn. She believes that her family is not complete without a mom so she sets up an online dating profile for her dad online in secret. Her dad meets a lot of people without knowing they were his “dates” and finally her dad tells Frankie that he has been secretly dating her Kindergarten teacher/her moms old friend. Frankie is not so sure about this but in the end everything works out. ]]> 2018-10-03 18:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/288820900 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/288822888 I enjoyed the book “Smart Cookie” very much. I liked how Frankie was exited to find a mom because in most book where the mom dies the book is very sad. I did not like how in the end her dad started dating her moms best friend.

I know because the landscaping company gives Armpit a job after he has a criminal record. I also know because even though Arpit has a fighting record Ginny and her mom trust him. I know because Armpit gives X-Ray a second chance even if he shouldn’t.

I liked the fact that the author gives Armpit a friend like Ginny because he needed her. I did not like the part when the girl from Armpits class canceled on him for the concert.

I know Armpit is brave because he fights the man that was trying to attack Kaira. I know Armpit is caring because he takes such good care of Ginny’s stuffed animal Coo. I know Armpit has a bit of a temper when he needs too because he gets upset with X-Ray when he tried to rip him off with phony concert tickets. ]]> 2018-10-08 22:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/290503321 3087545 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/291462151 I loved this Padlet soooooooooooo much!

Max is brave because she stands up to Barbara and “cheats” on her test.  “I can’t belive I’m saying this but... Let’s cheat” (Angleberger 173). Max is caring because on the first day of school when she met Fuzzy she wanted to make sure that he was okay after he malfunctioned. Max is kind because she cares and treats Fuzzy as if he was a real person.

I believe this because they have newer and advanced technology like free thinking robots. I also believe this because the school is run by a computer. “The computer generated face of Vice Principal Barbara looked down at them from every angle” ( Angleberger 6).Finally, I belive this because the Chinese had found something on Mars that has never been found before.

My favorite part was the ending when Fuzzy came back and did not have to go to mars. “Now that we don’t have to send you off to Mars...” (Angleberger 262) I did not enjoy how Barbara was running the school and was trying to get some kids kicked out.

Dash is smart because in the end he figures out that Zan was an Alien and why Dr.Holtz was talking to “himself”. “How long have you known I’m an Alien? Zan asked” (Gibbs,326).

Each character has something going on in their life and they go the retirement center for the program and make friends with the residents. The residents listen to their problems and help them. In the end all of the main characters are friends. “ Destiny had brought us together”  (Buyea 342).They have also solved all of their problems and made their relationships tighter with them and their families.]]> 2018-11-29 15:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/309331114 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/310264572 I give this book a four out of five stars for its great characters and different point of views. My favorite part of the book was the end when Scott made a touchdown at the end of the book and everyone cheered for him. “Every kid playing, weather on his team or not, clamored and jumped around, slapping him on the back”( Buyea 343). My least favorite part about the book was how Gavin hated Natile because of something she had nothing to do with. People who love action and friendship would enjoy this book. I loved this book and recommend it to everyone!]]> 2018-12-03 03:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/310264572 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/310624356 There are lots of places that the characters go to in the book. The three main places that the characters go to are the school, retirement home, and the art room because that is where the characters see each other. The art room has paintings hanging all around. “It was a lovely space with beautiful paintings hanging everywhere, yet despite the inviting atmosphere...” (Buyea 85). In the retirement home each elder has their own room. There are many different settings in this book and each has its own special qualities.]]> 2018-12-03 19:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/310624356 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/310626289 Buyea,Rob. The Perfect Score. Delacorte Press,2017.]]> 2018-12-03 19:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/310626289 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/311099615 By: Sarah Weeks and Gita Varadarajan]]> 2018-12-04 19:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/311099615 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/311596650 2018-12-05 20:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/311596650 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/311597502 By:Bradford H.

Wyatt, our main character, falls into the rapidson  a whitewater trip. Then we have a flashback of Wyatt and his brother joking around about falling in the water while listening to Brody, the guide’s, instructions. Johnny, Wyatt’s brother, says,” Wouldn’t it be awesome to fall in” (Robie 2). After this, the whole group heads out to the river. While they were out they help another raft get free from a rock. This causes them to go into difficult rapids and Wyatt falls off. Wyatt remembers Brody’s instructions and is able to swim to safety.]]> 2018-12-06 20:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312034958 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312037646 I really enjoyed reading this story. My favorite part was when Wyatt got saved and pulled into another raft. “Then he saw something even more promising: the raft they’d freed earlier was pulled alongside the riverbank” (Robie 2). My least favorite part of the story is when Wyatt and his brother joke around during the instructions. I think people who love adventure should really enjoy reading this book. I give this book a four out of five starts for its good lesson learned.]]> 2018-12-06 20:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312037646 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312040330 “Wyatt was thrown backward into the water” (Robie 1). After Wyatt was thrown in the water he soon noticed that his brother had fallen in as well. They both floated in different directions and his group of rafters had to decide who to save and who to leave because there was no saving both of them in time. Before anyone could speak the boat hit a rock and everyone fell out. They all quickly traveled down the stream and Johnny was getting to close to the rocks and Wyatt’s dad swims to save him but in the process he hits a rock and sadly dies. Everyone else made it up stream safely and got pulled onto shore. Wyatt’s family goes to the river every year now and has a picnic by the stream in honor of their brave dad.]]> 2018-12-06 20:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312040330 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312349298 In the book Save Me A Seat a new kid names Ravi moves to America from India and Joe is dealing with being bullied and is suffering from his only two friends moving away. On Ravi’s first day he gets the wrong idea and thinks that the boy who is bullying Joe is a nice person and wants to be his friend and he thinks that Joe himself is a bully. Ravi soon figures out that school is very different here than in India and Joe’s dad, a truck driver who is always away, comes home and tells Joe to be a man and fight the bully but Joe doesn’t want any part of it. Joe’s dad says while they are arguing,” The point is you have to man up and fight back” (Weeks 140). Ravi soon figures out that the bully, Dillion, does not want to be his friend as much as he thought. In the end Ravi and Joe help out each other and become each other’s friends and stand up to Dillion together.]]> 2018-12-07 18:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312349298 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312352521 “Dillion Samreen is standing near the door when I arrive at room 506” (Weeks 175). Ravi desides to ask why Dillion is so mean for no reason. Dillion desides to walk away and find someone else’s day to ruin, while Ravi walks over to Joe’s desk. He tells Joe that he is sorry for blaming him for thinking he was the one doing all of the bad stuff. Joe thinks back to the time when Ravi said that he wasn’t messed up like Joe and Joe desides to try to avoide Ravi all together. Ravi joins the math team since he was at the top of his school back in India and makes friends with them. Joe joins the defeat hungar club and packages food every Friday. Joe and Ravi make new friends and live happy lives.]]> 2018-12-07 18:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312352521 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312758137 I loved reading this book because it teaches many valuable life lessons. My favorite part was when Ravi puts his double blue M&M in Joe’s bowl at the end. Joe thinks, “ I’m not seeing things. Is there really a blue peanut M&M sitting in the glass dish on my desk?” (Weeks 190). My least favorite is how Dillion makes fun of Joe for no reason and makes mean jokes about people. People who like happy endings and standing for what is right would like to read this book. I give this book a four out of five stars for it’s amazing characters and great morals.]]> 2018-12-10 02:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/312758137 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314010814 By: Mary Downing Hahn]]> 2018-12-12 19:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314010814 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314011597 2018-12-12 19:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314011597 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314254145 By: Holly Goldberg Sloan]]> 2018-12-13 14:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314254145 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314254476 2018-12-13 14:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314254476 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314383677 “Please don’t let Jimmy be dead” (Hahn 182). The days went by faster than ever, mostly because I didn’t care what was going on around me I just needed to find out where Jimmy was because I know he is not dead. Mother says I’m in the first stage of grief, denial, but I know I will find Jimmy. At school the next day I receive a telegram from the army which is very odd because the telegrams are always delivered straight to the house, especially when it’s from the army. The letter read, “Dear Margaret, I just want to let you know that I am ok. I was taken prisoner by Hitlers troop 51. I am back at base camp now and they have decided that I am to be sent home soon.

The hut had two windows. I know that the house had two windows because the text states, “ It had two windows with real glass in them....” (Hahn 25). There is a crooked chimney also poking out of the hut’s roof. The two pieces of furniture that were most mentioned was a small stove that was lit to try and keep Stuart warm when he was sick and a cot in which Stu slept on, covered in blankets. This was one of the main settings that was described the best.]]> 2018-12-14 19:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314798148 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/314850184 I had a great time reading this book with my class. My favorite part of the book was when Barbra told Margaret that she was marrying Stuart.  Barbara said, “Stu asked me to marry him” (Hahn 213). My least favorite part of the book was when I found out that Mr.Smith beat his kids and treated them badly. People who like books from the past and books with lots of adventure.

I knew my parents were watching me from above and I didn’t want them to think that any of this was their fault. Therefor I put a very fake smile on my face and walk into the court room. When I walk in I see the judge and Dell. Dell then tells me that he is taking legal responsibility of me and that he will care for me. He also says that Pattie agreed to help him and they will be living in the apartment with us. This is one of the best things that could have happened.

It was worth it and I could not put  it down! My favorite part was when Jairo and Pattie take in Willow and “adopt” her. One of the lines that supports my favorite part was when the judge says, “ There has been a formal request made today to the court for your guardianship. In motion by Mr. Jairo Hernandez and Ms. Dung Nguyen-“ (Sloan 370). My least favorite part was how Willow never found out the reason that her parents were in the car when the crash happened. I give this book a five out of five stars for its amazing different point of views.

In her room all of the walls have floor to ceiling bookshelves. I know this because in Mai’s description she said, “All the walls had floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and they were full” (Solan 112). Willows room also had a desk with a microscope and a computer system. The room also has a bulliton board covered with photos of plants.

I guess I’m busted......” ( Sloan 103). My least favorite part about this book is how people underestimate Mrs.Chang, Julia’s spunky neighbor. I think people who can relate to being onstage and becoming a none  biological family with random people in only a few days. I give this book a five out of five stars for its amazing plot and characters.]]> 2019-02-28 03:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336243878 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336245234 I the book Short Julia Marks Mom makes her try out for a musical, the Wizard of Oz. “Only maybe they can, because yesterday my mom said she wants me to go audition at the university to be in some kind of play” ( Sloan 10). She gets the role of a munchkin and later also a flying monkey and meets some pretty amazing people. In the process of making a play she also meets some new friends like Olive who is a small adult who also plays a munchkin and Julia’s role model. Olive and so many other people teach Julia it’s ok to be short. When the musical ends everyone heads different ways, even different states, but friendship will always connect them.]]> 2019-02-28 03:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336245234 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336247122 Julia Marks is brave, friendly, but most of all  misses her dog Ramon. I know Julia is brave because she is not nervous at her audition. “ I can’t help it-I laugh. And then I take a small bow directed to the piano” ( Sloan 17). I know Julia is friendly because she wants to meet Olive the first day of auditions. “I decide I really love her look. I’m going to get to know her .......” (Sloan 24). I know Julia misses her dog Ramon because she thinks about him a lot thorough out the book. “ I could barley listen because her song reminded me of losing Ramon, so I put my fingers in my ears” (Sloan 16). Julia Marks is a very interesting person.]]> 2019-02-28 03:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336247122 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336847005 Reynolds, Jason. Ghost. Simon & Schuster Publishing Division, 2016.]]> 2019-03-01 14:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336847005 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336910122 I could not put this book down! My favorite part was when coach let Ghost run in the race. My least favorite part was how the book ended with a cliff hanger. “This. Is. It. And then....BOOM!” ( Reynolds 180). People who love adventure and an exiting story line would love this book. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars for its amazing characters and great story. I definitely recommend this book series.]]> 2019-03-01 16:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336910122 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336914937 “And Ghost” coach said,glancing over at coach Whit, and then back to me” (Reynolds 174). You will not be running today as a punishment for stealing those shoes coach said flat out in frount of everyone. I could feel everyone’s eyes stare down at my silver bullets. I had a good reason, well, I thought that I did. Then coach started talking about the 100 meter run and everyone looked away, but I couldn’t focus. I wouldn’t be running and everyone knows my second biggest secret. Great. I just hope Ma doesn’t find out because it would just make her more disappointed in me. ]]> 2019-03-01 16:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336914937 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336916664 Castle, likes to be called Ghost, has a rough background and now only lives with his Ma. Ghost was always getting into stupid fights for no reason and one day he was at the bus stop and found himself watching a track practice. He eventually joined the team as long as he kept up with school. Ghost made some new friends and even told his biggest secret to them. Ghost only got better and in the end was going to be in his first race. “We stepped out on the track and walked down to the end” (Reynolds 177). The end of the book left you on a cliff hanger.]]> 2019-03-01 16:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/336916664 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337660009 Bradley, Kimberly. The War I Finally Won. Puffin Books, 2017.]]> 2019-03-04 20:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337660009 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337662599 I really enjoyed reading this book. My favorite part was when Ada gets her club foot fixed and can walk/run normally now. My least favorite part is when the characters find out that Jonathan’s plane blew up over the English Channel. ““His plane blew up over the English Channel,” Susan said. “They won’t recover his body”” (Bradley 243). I give this book five out of five stars for its AMAZING plot and characters. People who enjoy adventure and learning about the hardships of world war 2 would enjoy this book. I belive this was a good read.]]> 2019-03-04 20:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337662599 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337666140 “He drew an envelope out of his waistcoat pocket and took from the envelope a letter” (Bradley 301). Lord Thornton read the extremely long letter which held many words I found not understand, including facts about the war. I really wasn’t because at the end I didn’t know why everyone was crying, even Maggie. “Jonathan’s coming home!” Lady Thornton exclaimed. “Wait I thought his plane blew up!?” I said in shock, clearly I was not listening at all. Susan explained to me that the letter said that Jonathan’s plane crash landed in the enemy line and he was taken prisoner, but a few weeks later our troops overthrew the camp that was keeping his captive and he is now on his way home. This is by far the best Christmas gift I could have asked for.

Ada, Jamie, Maggie (who sometimes visits from her boarding school), and Susan all grow to like Ruth and have many adventures with her. It does get a little cramped after Susan’s house was bombed and they were forced to move in the Thornton’s extra cottage where Lady Thornton was also staying because the army had taken possession of the Thornton house. The War progresses and everyone is shocked to find out that the Thornton’s son, and Maggie’s brother, had died in war. Susan then becomes ill after the holidays but soon gets better and lots of relationships are healed and the story has a happy ending. ]]> 2019-03-04 20:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337669691 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337670603 By: Gordon Korman]]> 2019-03-04 20:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337670603 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337670679 2019-03-04 20:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337670679 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337671956 Korman, Gordon. The 6th Grade Nickname Game. Hyperion Paperbacks For Children, 1998.]]> 2019-03-04 20:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/337671956 3087569 https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/338571431 I liked reading this book. My favorite part was when Alex figures out he has a sister (kinda). “Half sister. Sorry if I’m a little tongue tied...I just found out that Alex and I...It’s no small...” (Cheng 120). My least favorite part is how Alex acts like his mom is fine and like she takes good care of him when she doesn’t. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars for its great characters and story line.

Schizophrenic, that’s what my mom had. Ronnie, my older brother said that because of this I have to go live with Terra. Terra and her mom seen nice and we are related (kinda) but I just can’t stand the idea of being away from mom. Who will make her food, how will she eat. I wondered all of these things but in the end I knew it would all be ok. Carl Sagan could even come live with us.

Alex is brave because he goes on the roof with no fear to look for his mom. “...so I just come up on our ladder to the roof” ( Cheng 10). Alex is curious because he wonders about life outside of earth. “Who are you? What do you look like? Do you have one head of two? More?” (Cheng 3). Alex is kind because he is always friendly. “His names Zed but I didn’t know that yet, I just said Namaste....” (Cheng 34).

My favorite part was when Cassandra picked Iceman over both the boys. “Do you think I should ask the Iceman to the Sadie Hawkins dance?” (Korman 138). My least favorite part was how the boys almost lost their amazing friendship over a stupid fight. I think that people who enjoy a little humor would love this book.

My least favorite part of the book is when Sal gets punched for no reason. “He made a fist that came up like a wave and hit Sal right in the stomach” (Stead 22).

I know this because Miranda said something mean to Annemarie and she goes to apologize. I know because Jimmy blames the kids for stealing his prized possession, his Fred Flitstone bank, but he lets them have their jobs back when he realizes that they are good kids. I know because Marcus wasn’t a bad kid but he hit Sal which was wrong and he traveled back in time to save his life. “You saved Sal’s life” (Stead 162). ]]> 2019-04-26 18:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3087569/1xplr1puyqoo/wish/354563392
