The three girls are very different. Gertude is an optimist, Eugenia is a pessimist, and goodness knows what Dee-Dee thinks. They live in a town where mad science is outlawed, so a science school may be just what they need. Gertude often feels responsible for the girls getting into trouble, so most of the time she is feeling discouraged.

Eugenia is really never in a good mood and her sarcasm is on the next level. I think this is because her parents died a long time ago and she probably still feels grief. Dee-Dee is always in her own world, but when she speaks, you probably should listen.

I like this book because it is not all about the popular “normal” people, but the quirky instead. That's all for today! Bye! 

I think Emma is so brave. She talks to a ghost and doesn’t get that frightened. I think Allie is brave too, but Emma is seven and Allie is thirteen. I think Allie is very protective -- she always tries to do her best to make sure Emma doesn’t get in trouble and get hurt. Even if sometimes she does get in trouble and hurt…

This story teaches me that you should be brave and that  you shouldn't hold a grudge like Sissy.

My prediction is that Sissy will get buried and have a ceremony, However, she will break her promise that she will forgive everyone, and I think she will still hold a grudge against Dulcie and Allie’s Mom.

I will keep you posted. Bye!

In A Dog’s Purpose, Toby the dog is a stray with his mother and his two brothers and a sister. The local dog rescue has found the dog family and found one brother dead. They also do not have room, but will make it for the family of dogs. The “new dogs” are being checked out by the other dogs that were there first. They still have a fun time at the yard (the shelter). My favorite part of the story is how it is told through the eyes of a dog ,Toby.

An example of this is how it sometimes says, “We should always fear humans.” That shows to me that they all are showing fear or are lashing out on the humans who want to or will love them or still do. This is very important in the story, because it is part of the foundation. The dogs do not like humans, because they think that they will hurt them.

It is more fun to have the story being told by a dog. This makes the story more interesting, because it would be fun to be a dog. Just to lounge around and play outside all day, that would be amazing and I am so down for THAT.

This would be so different if it was told in the eyes of a human, because it would be less interesting and less descriptive.  It is so exciting to learn about everything from a dog’s perspective.   

I love dogs, because they are very cuddly and they are also used as helpers to people who need them, like service animals or emotional support animals. These animals can help in lots of different ways, like the ones that I just listed. Reading the story through the eyes of a dog makes the story better.

Tonight I continued reading The Naughty List. The Naughty List is about a girl named Bobbie and her family, and how she thinks she just ruined Christmas for her brother. 

Bobbie then does the unthinkable to try to help her brother have hope in Santa again.

As I mentioned before, Bobbie does the unthinkable, by that I mean Bobbie sees an ad on TV that said to dress up like a Santa and come to the mall for a talent show and try to win up to 500 dollars! Bobbie thinks about doing it to make her brother happy, and then she thinks that she does not have a Santa costume, until she realizes she can use her brother's. Bobbie sneaks into her brothers room, steals the Santa costume and sets off to the mall. When she gets there, she waits in line for her turn to go on stage for the talent show. 

I think I’m like Bobbie, because when it’s her turn, she gets on stage and freezes. When I do plays, sometimes I freeze. This story makes me feel warm inside, because I have a little brother and doing what makes him happy makes me happy. Seeing Bobbie try to make things right for her brother even when Bobbie herself hates Christmas and does not believe in Santa shows that she wants her brother to be happy. 

I think Bobbie will end up making her brother really happy and save her brother's Christmas. In the book, Bobbie ends up making motor boat sounds. After he’s done, they announce the winner, a panda Santa! Bobbie does not know what to do next. I will keep you posted on what happens.             

 I recommend this book to anyone who likes warm stories and Christmas. I hope you enjoyed my Rockin Response!

Hi this week I’ve continued Keeper Of The Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. This week Sophie, Keefe and Lady Cadence go to see King Dimintar to ask if he would give them the star stone they need to go to nightfall. But the only way to get it from King Dimintar is to fight him in a duel called a sparring match. 

I think Keefe is courageous because when King Dimintar told Sophie and Keefe the only way to get the star stone from him is to play a game of sparring, Keefe stepped up and agreed. I also think Keefe is courageous because he also had no doubt in himself when he got a gash from King Dimintar. He just kept on playing and with his good and positive attitude he won! 

I predict that  Silveny (Sophie’s pet alicorn) is mad at Sophie because when Sophie tried to connect with her after the meeting with King Dimintar, Silveny tried to push Sophie's mentality back when she tried to enter her mind. Also predict that Silveny had her baby because when Silveny transmitted that she had her baby I think it was in the end of the book before Nightfall. 

I’d recommend this book to people who like a large dose of fantasy and a bit of mystery and adventure. I hope you enjoy my rocking response. I’ll keep you posted bye! 

Tonight I continued reading A Series of Unfortunate Events!!!

This book is about a family who parents died sadly and the way they find out is really sad.This is how it was a very cloudy day and they went to the beach because that is what they do every day in the morning.They were walking down the beach then Mr.Poe came there neighbor,told them that there house just burned down it was a mansion so it was sad and also that there parents was in the house when it burned down so that means that there parents died that was bad for them maybe thats why its called the bad beginning.

They stayed at Mr.Poe’s house for a day in Mr.Poe’s house there wasn’t that much more in house that  Mr.Poe had so they had to sleep in bedroom with two other children and there was three of them so it was really cramped for them because it was five kids in one room in it was all of them.

My favorite character is Violet because she is the oldest of the three so I fell like she the leader. In the three kids,Klaus,Sunny,Violet there last name is Baudelaire so in the story sometimes they call the kids The Baudelaire Kids cause thats there last name.And also Violet is very caring for her sister,Sunny the yountest in the three speaking of Sunny I also like her because she goes around biting people but one time a man picked her and he was being mean so  she was so scared that she did’t bite him I am kind of freak out about that because she bites everyone even beds and couch like shes bites any thing she sees so i don’t know why she did’t bite that time it was weird and also she has to live with the person that was mean and also Klaus and Violet has to  I feel bad for them because they just want there parents.

I predict that the person who got the kids for the parents is a demon because on the cover there is a door open with a demon on the inside. I think that the peron who  got is it because he is so mean to them and is very tall and the demon is very tall.I don’t know if it is a demon or something else it has a really creepy face and has a really big nose I don’t know if the person who got them has a big nose because I don’t think it said that when it was saying stuff about the person who got them.

This week I continued reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling. Harry is facing less challenges than last week, however he has a problem with Draco. Draco did not get a broomstick and he felt embarrassed. Harry had one and so did many other students. Draco wasn’t as good enough to be on the house team for quidditch that made him jealous of others. 

One thing I don't like about Draco is he is a jealous character. Draco said Harry got a special gift from Dumbledore it was a broomstick and Draco wanted one. He thought Harry only got it because he had a scar on his forehead. In the book Draco says Harry “is not even that good he’s just famous… famous for having a stupid scar on his forehead…”

I think Harry will brag in Draco’s face, he got a broomstick and Draco did not. Harry knows Draco is jealous and Draco was not nice to Harry and his friends. That is why i think Harry will brag.

This week I started reading Absolutely Truly by Heather Frederick. 

Truly the main character and at the start of the book she had just moved from Austin Texas to Pumpkin Falls. So far it has been snowing like crazy and at first Truly was so annoyed that she had to move again. Her father was in the Air Force so she moved a LOT. But when she was in Texas she was near her best friend, Her cousin, Mackenzie. Her father was in the force when they were first in Austin. But then while in war he lost his right arm. They stayed in Texas for a little longer until Christmas. When their grandparents came from Pumpkin Falls. They had news that the bookstore that has been in their family for a very long time was in the rust. So when they came up they asked if he and their Aunt True (Truly to) would come and take over the shop. They thought a new generation would be good for them. And truly is not happy about moving. But she did make a few new friends even though it is only her second day. She now found a mysterious old letter from 20 years back and she and her new friend are trying to figure it out. 

I am not too far yet but in my opinion I think that this is good for Truly before Texas she never noticed she never made friends. In Texas she felt home with Mackenzie. And now that she is in Pumpkin Falls she started thinking that she was going to stay in stealth mode (that is what she calls hiding.) But then she was put in a seat next to a girl named Cha Cha and they became friends. Truly might think that she would hate it and she does not want to be in stuff like bullies but I think it would grow her mind. Have different perspectives on it. Truly is a mix of a lot of things. Sometimes she is optimistic, sometimes she is posthumous and sometimes she just likes to hide in her shell. I think that it is OK if you hide in your shell for a little but not your whole life. You're here for a reason to bring your joy into the world. 

She sometimes says “there is nothing in this stupid town.” And other times she is saying, “Gramps and Lola's house is huge. My brothers claimed the whole 3rd flour. And “ it's the first time I have gotten my own room and bathroom.”

I have a feeling Truly is going to love it here in Pumpkin Falls with her new friends even out with Mackenzie. 

That’s it for the week byeeeee

Well Sophie thought it was Mr.Forkle, but Mr. Forkle has a twin brother. The real Mr. Forkle died because Ruy, a dude from the Neverseen, killed him while protecting Councillor Orlie.  Sophie watched Mr.Forkle die so she was very confused to see “another” Mr. Forkle. The new Mr.Forkle then explained to her that he has a twin brother. After they went to a secret place to bury him,they all said the things that they wanted to say to him before or after he died.Next, they went to Sophie's parents house  to tell everybody the big news.When they told everybody some people cried and some people laughed.

After Sophie, Keefe and Lady Cadence went to visit the goblin king King Dimiter, to get the starstone to go to Nightfall. But to get the starstone Keefe had to fight King Dimiter with a sword and whoever drew first blood lost.Keefe won!!!! After though Keefe was hurt so they went to the medical center to fix Keefe.While he was in the medical center Sophie and her other friends went to go to Nightfall. 

I predict that when they're in Nightfall something will happen in there. For example, maybe someone will get hurt,maybe find someone dead,or maybe something or someone will attack them…..

Further on in the story they come across a cat stuck in a tree! Shark Roars! Here kitty, kitty showing his razor sharp teeth. The cat screams in fear, Eeeeeeee! Now Piranha tries next but threatens the cat by saying “Get down here or I will bite your furry but!”. The cat screams even more Eeeeeee! Next they all try to work together standing on top of each other with Piranha at the top. There inches away but not there yet. Then Piranha says a few mean things to Snake and he gets gobbled up in seconds. A a few seconds later Piranha comes flying right out of Snakes mouth heading towards the cat, knocking it down into wolfs hands. Yay!

Their next mission is at the Dog Pound where they have a plan to set all the dogs free. Shark dresses up in an old lady costume and heads in, when the guards see him they fall in love. The guard agrees to open all the cages at once to help find “Sharks Dog’’ Once all the cages were open Sharks screams the signal, “Boo hoo Boo hoo I will never find my dog!” When Wolf heard the signal he slingshots Piranha and Snake into the dog pound. When they landed inside all the dogs were frozen… AHHHHHHH! They all looked behind themselves and saw Shark AHHHHHH!. Suddenly Wolf outside waiting hears a boom and begins seeing hundreds of dogs followed by Shark, Snake and Piranha.

When they all got back home they all agreed that being Good felt kinda nice and that they would continue being Good. And from now on their new name would be called The Good Guys.

This week I've been reading, “ I Survived the Alaska Earthquakes “ by Lauren Tarshis. And, it starts off as their family of 3 is fishing on ice for food, they live in the “bush” of Alaska, which is the more forested area. After being out there for about an hour they decided to call it quits since they were getting no bites. So, they packed up their fishing gear and headed towards their house, which was basically a cabin.

They get about 2 meters away from their cabin until they hear a loud growl. Blake at first thought it was just his mind playing tricks on him, but his parents that have almost spent  20 years of being in the bush said otherwise. Blake’s parents instantly knew it was a winter bear. This is all I've read so far. Come back next week for more.

Here is a little summary of my book. I'm only at my first chapter. A boy named Percy Jackson is in middle school and he and his friend are such trouble makers. There is this really strict teacher named Mrs. Dodds.

A prediction is that in the second chapter, Percy Jackson is going to get expelled from school for five weeks and he is going to miss a big test for gym. The big test is the pacer test. It is a test you can’t miss…

My opinion is that in the third chapter he is gonna be back at school, and his gym teacher is going to get so mad. I feel like he is gonna get so sad and dash straight into the bathroom. Then his friend came in and saw his tears gushing down his face.

My last opinion is that he is going to run from the school hoping to never get back to that school. I think he is gonna try to convince his mom to allow him to go to a different school. Maybe even move to a different country.

That was it. bye.

I think that the park rangers will go looking for The Eyes because, when he was looking at what he called weird rectangles, Twisty, a person, kidnapped him and wanted to keep him as a pet. Twisty and his friends are trouble makers because they steal things. When Twisty and his friends were driving away from the park after taking The Eyes, Bertrand the bird and other birds attacked the car. This left enough time for Sonja the squirrel to unlock the cage and everyone in the car opened their doors because a squirrel was in the car, so The Eyes and Sonja escaped. So now I think that the park rangers might be looking for The Eyes.

Another issue is that cement is being poured on to the ground heading for the raccoon's, home that would affect everyone. Also, where the cement is might become a trail or, even worse, a road. That would make the woods of the park almost a zoo. Because, everyone will be looking at the animals and that would scare the animals.Thanks for reading bye!

Skandar Smith is in the world of unicorns. Roaring and growling, they are searching for fresh meat. Unicorns with sharp horns piercing through the sky. The unicorns are not the ones you see in fairy tales.They are  not even close… They are from nightmares!

Skandar is a 13-year boy, who lives with his sister Kenna and dad.His mother passed away a few days after he was born. They didn’t have much money. He and his sister are trying to help dad with the money problem. Skandar and Kenna dream to become a unicorn rider in the island for unicorns . They have to take an exam before trying to open the hatchery door to get to the island. But last year Kenna had failed the exam. Her dreams shattered away. All the hope Kenna had began to fade into the dark evil sky. Can Skandar pass the exam?

I think Skandar is lonely. He always gets bullied whenever Owen, the bullier, sees Skandar. Skandar can’t stand up for himself, and he is hopeless. Life is miserable when everyone hates you and makes jokes about you. I am frustrated about the character, because he always needs Kenna to stand up for himself.  I am unlike Skandar because when I don’t like what they are saying, I can stand up for myself. I wonder what life will be like if Skandar is never going to stand up for himself. I think if the Skandar stands up for himself he will get plenty of friends and be happy.

Kenna was a happy girl who was always ready to take the exam. She had the best scores in her whole grade. But when Kenna took the hatchery exam… She failed… Horrified to see the result, Kenna started to become lonely like Skandar. I feel bad for Kenna because she was always so confident that she was going to pass… I predict Kenna is going to find another way to get to the island.

In the book Unwanteds I personally like Alex, I like him because of how serene he is. For example, he started magical warrior training EXTRA late, being bullied by his friends (as a joke of course)  (they bullied him by using spells they learned in magical warrior training) for around THREE MONTHS. And still he stayed pretty tranquil, in addition, the unbearable grief of starting magical warrior training SO late.

Also, I personally like how he is progressing in magical warrior training so well. For example, it's been a few weeks since he has started magical warrior training and he’s about caught up with his friends.

EXCEPT for one friend…

Make sure to stay tuned for next week's read and respond…

I read the Wings Of Fire The Lost Heir, this week! It is based on fantasy and mostly dragons.

In the last book they escaped a cave and got captured by Queen Scarlet, who they may have or not killed. And now they are helping Tsunami find her home and her parents AKA the palace\her mom, the Queen! She found out that someone or something… is killing all the royalty and or trying too. 

She met her little sister Anemone, who is an Animus that is being forced to be Queen Coral ( Her mom ) and what she calls herself, “Queen” Blister’s secret weapon in the war. 

She also met a seawing named Riptide who I personally think she loooooveessss!!!! 

( I also think that Riptide likes  her too!! )   Here is one of the last few lines I read in this book,  “ Mother! Someone just tried to kill me!”  “ WHAT? WHO DARED?” Queen Coral screams, “I don’t know, but they must be somewhere in the palace-” “ The eggs! The’ll try to attack the eggs!” Queen Coral interrupted screaming at her guards to follow her and rush to the underwater palace.

Just from those few lines, I can already tell that something is going to happen with the eggs, and that someone or something is going to die.

Thank you for listening to my R&R about  The Wings Of Fire The Lost Heir. 

Bye! Thanks for reading!!  😄

A few weeks ago, James asked to go to the cliffs, but his aunts called him lazy and told him to get back to work.This week in James and the Giant Peach, James finally got his wish to see the cliffs.

When James woke up, Centipede was cutting the stem, allowing the peach to start moving  downhill. Before they knew it, they were going through towns and soon they were off the cliff, down into the water.The peach floated, bobbing up and down in the waves. All of the insects were scared because none of them knew how to swim, but James told them how to float on their backs.

James saw sharks starting to circle the peach, but he quickly came up with a plan. The spider and silkworm would make a ring and catch the seagulls to lift the peach in the air. Rolling off a cliff and being circled by sharks  made me excited about what would happen next.Who knew  a peach could be dangerous and exciting.

Hi guys, last night I read Evil Spy School by Stuart Gibbs and It’s about a kid named Ben Ripley who is training to be a spy but while the whole school is having a paintball war. But while they were preparing to attack the other team his teammate accidentally put in a live shell and shot it at the building, where the principal is. Ben gets suspended and starts to work for Spyder which is an evil organization. Then he escapes and defeats Spyder's plans

I think I'm like Ben because Ben is really smart and so am I. I also think that Erica, who is Ben's friend, is really sneaky and is very good at fighting just like

If there was going to be another book about this I would predict that Ben is going to go back to his original school and be congratulated for being a good spy and they will have stop Spyder from doing other evil stuff. That's all for this week. Bye.

This week, I am reading a book called Iceberg. It’s about the Titanic. There’s a girl named Hazel Rothberry, and she is sadly poor. Her mother got fired from her job, and her dad sadly passed away.

Hazel thinks there is no hope left, until her mother tells her to go on the Titanic. She's going over the ocean all the way to New York, just to work at the factory so she can help her aunt Mary get a new life.

Hazel LOVES to write, so she takes a lot of notes on the Titanic. As soon as Hazel gets in line for the “Ticket check,” she realizes that she has no ticket in order to enter the ship. When she finally arrives at the stand, she has no choice but to show no ticket.

Then, she got “kicked off” the ship just because she tried to sneak in the ship. Then, Hazel got a HUGE idea. She was afraid about it, and scared she will go to prison after. What was her plan? Well, the plan was her going on the BACK of the ship, going in one of the luggages and staying in there for the WHOLE ship ride.

In Hazel’s future, I would say that she wouldn't do that because it would’ve been bad. For example, she would starve to death, she wouldn't be able to breathe right,  and there is something coming up her way.

But for Hazel, she made the choice she wanted and thought was wrong but still did it. Hazel did not actually know how to be able to go on the back of the ship, but she found a way to  get on. Get in someone’s luggage. In the next scene, she’s moving everywhere, then hears some people’s voices. At this point, Hazel regrets that she is doing this, but she’s scared that she will get in trouble with her mom.

Then, she hears something. She hears someone going by her. Then the person opens the luggage. Then that's when Hazel  starts panicking. But, it wasn't one of the older people. He was around Hazel’s age. 

Then, they both introduced each other. The boy’s name was Charlie. Then, Hazel introduced herself. Then, the both of them get out of there quickly before they get into trouble. Just then, they got stopped by a man, who Hazel thinks is one of the workers. The man told them “Does this young woman have a room? I am sure we haven't seen her on board lately” the man said. 

Charlie said “Uh yes she does I see her- she just stays in her room” Charlie says. Then, they ran. Hazel almost had a panic attack just from that. Hazel said “That was close” She said. Charlie nodded. Hazel was wondering though why did the man say “We” when he said “We haven’t seen her lately”. But she just ignored that and went on.

That is all for today, and I hope you guys enjoyed and keep you updated. Bye!   

This week I read The Tale of Emily Windsnap and let's just say that chapter 13 has one of the most heart-felt moments in the book. She had to choose between her best friend and her father. I am looking forward to seeing who she picks, but I think she is going to pick her father because she probably does not want to get caught by the guards.

Shona & Emily came up with a plan, to break her father out of Zeus prison.  Earlier in the book, Emily found a shovel in her boat house, that would help her with this task.  Her plan was to shovel through the thick coral wall that secured the prison to help her father escape. As Emily started to shovel, she could only shovel a hole big enough for herself to fit through.I hope she makes the right choice. We’ll keep you posted.

       Alex is one of the most selfless people in the book, he is willing to give himself up to a pirate clan to keep his people safe (because spoiler! He becomes head of the land in book two), I think the only other person who is even more selfless is Meghan, who sacrifices herself in book seven. Alex is a brave person too, and he sometimes expects himself to do better even though he is already trying his best. 

That's it for this week because I can’t think of any predictions off the top of my head so Shawn ou- “Beep Boop”

Evan and Scott saw the girls’ stand.Jessie waved a handful of money she got and gave Evan a look.A neighbor ordered 12 cups of lemonade for all the kids playing there. Evan asked if he can help and Jessie said yes.I just read about Evan walking off during a lemonade order so Jessie ran up to her room and she tried to think of every way possible that she could make Evan’s life a living misery.           

She also thought about how she broke a glass heat her dad gave her.She was so upset that she broke it that Evan glued every single piece back together.and that was when she thought of it she wanted back the Evan that would want to be her friend.     

Tonight I finished a really good book The Series of Unfortunate Events.

If you read my other post you would know the beginning of the book The Series of Unfortunate Events so lets go where we left off on the other post. 

After they lived with Mr.Poe, Mr.Poe took Violet Klaus and Sunny to Count Olaf. Count Olaf adopted them so he's their dad now.  After they have been there for a while one day he makes Violet play his wife in a play but is actually a plan because the Baudelaies are billionaires and Mr.Poe keeps it in the bank. All Count Olaf wants is the money that's why he got them he will hurt them to get the money he even hung baby Sunny from a tower later in the book. And in the play Count Olaf gets a real judge and a real form but Violet signs it with her left hand which is not her real good hand.

My prediction is well its says in the end of the book Violet felt a hand on her shoulder it was Count Olaf and he said “am going to get you” which I feel like in the second book of the series of unfortunate events he is going to find them and try to get they money again the first time he failed badly and he is so mad but also they got Sunny back from the tower cause they made a deal but Violet was smart and waited for Sunny to be back and then she told him when the play was about to end when everyone was there so they could hear what Count Olaf did and get him in trouble but he got away because his little acting group tured off the light so he and them could run away so they don’t get caught by the police and on they don’t know where he went he could be at his house or somewhere in the entire world.

My favorite character is Sunny now but it used to be Violet but now I like Sunny more because I feel like she is so brave because she got trapped outside hunged now a really tall tower in a bird cage and even if she was cold she was there day and night and plus she was tied in a rope and taped over her mouth and she was still a baby I feel so bad for little baby Sunny she was probably crying on the inside but she pushed though am so proud of her.

That's all for this week. I will keep you  posted and look for next week's post!! That's all for this week byeeeeee.

I think that Ari is becoming very introverted because in the story at lunch she never talks to the other girls and always leaves early. She also is having mixed feelings about crushes and all that jazz. Kaylan, on the other hand is super excited because her friend Cami invited her on a trip to the Caribien. But she is feeling very distant to Ari lately so I think that could stir up some trouble.

I will keep you posted!😁  

This week I read more of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling. 

Harry is staying with Ron and his family. Harry and Ron and his family are shopping for school supplies in Diagon Alley. So they are ready for the school year. Mrs. Weasley showed Harry how witches and wizards travel with Floo powder. So he threw it into the fireplace and then Harry said the wrong location so he went to Knockturn alley instead of Diagon Alley. In Knockturn alley He got stuck in a cabinet. 

In Diagon Alley, Harry meets Lockhart, the new Against of the dark arts at Hogwarts school. I think Lockhart is going to be like Quirrel because he seems FAKE! One reason is his tone and how he acts is like Quirrle one example from the book is that he says “It can’t be Harry Potter”. He also says "Together, you and I  are worth the front page. And then he gave him free books in front of everyone. That's why I think Lockhart is FAKE!

Also Draco is still being mean to Harry. One example is when he gave his books to Ginny then Draco said “Bet you loved, that didn't you, Potter?” then he said “Potter, you’ve got yourself a girlfriend!” That's why I think Draco is a bully to people.

After they also heard a noise, it was the Neverseen. The Neverseen started to corner Sophie and her friends to attack them. Sophie was training to fight them so she started to fight the Neverseen with all their might. The Neverseen were hiding so they went to the hive. At the hive Alavar confessed that he was still a part of the Neverseen. Meanwhile Umber was dead because rocks fell on top of her. Then Sophie and her friends went outside to check on Silveny and her babies. Lady Gisela came after and was about to kill Silveny and Greyfell. But she didn't kill them because Sophie and her friends saved them with their cloaks. Then Lady Gisela said that since Umber died she had to take Tam or else she would hurt his twin sister Linh. So Tam had to go to the Neverseen. After the night that it happened Sophie and Tam talked to each other with their minds. And Tam said, ”SOPHIE, YOU NEED TO KEEP KEFFE AWAY FROM ME. And Sophie said why. BECAUSE LADY GIESELA ORDERED ME TO KILL KEEFE. 

This week I have started reading I Survived the Titanic by Lauren Tarshis. It starts off as George, wakes up thinking he has to go to school but quickly realizes he is on the Titanic! He is on the Titanic with his little sister, Phoebe. And his aunt. His aunt was going to go on the Titanic with her husband, but he passed away recently. So, she got an extra ticket and decided to go with her niece and nephew. George is a trouble maker, the night before, he slid down a stairway ramp and terrified a woman with 100 pounds of diamonds it seemed like. He promised his aunt to get into no more trouble.

Later that night though, he was having dinner when a coworker came up to his aunt. They chit chatted and stuff and George wasn't really paying attention until, the coworker mentioned a mummy onboard in the luggage room. This is all I've read so far, come back next week for more see ya.

                                     Here is a little summary about where I’m at in my book. So I am in the second chapter but I have a ton to say. First in the second chapter and Percy Jackson gets expelled from doing something really bad as he is fine but now he isn’t. He is a really bad student now he has been writing graffiti on bathroom walls so now he is pantsing other students that’s really bad. His friend Grover is a nice kid in his story but as the story goes on he gets worse and worse. Where I’m at in the story he is almost at Percy’s level of bulliness. 

                                   Now getting into the real stuff. My opinion is that Percy is gonna get expelled from school again and Grover is going with him. I think they are going to be expelled for Percy in about two months and Grover five weeks.Those five are over and now Grover feels so lonely because they knew each other for seven years. One month has passed, and Grover is a little upset; he just can’t stop thinking about how bad he is. He is wondering how he would be bad without his friends back. I think that when Percy gets back he is gonna feel more comfortable that he has his friend at his back, but also even more meaner.

                               Grover is getting worse and worse, I bet Percy feels like he is the sidekick and Grover is the actual superhero. I feel like later on in the story Grover is gonna get a girlfriend, and Percy is gonna feel left out, and Grover's girlfriend is gonna be a bad girlfriend to Grover and Percy.I feel like Percy is not gonna get a girlfriend and feel left out now that he has no friends or a girlfriend. When he gets a girlfriend I feel like him and Grover don’t talk as much as they used to.

                          I feel like they are gonna break up with their girlfriends and they're not gonna know each other well like they used to. When they see each other there not gonna talk to each other like they have been doing, I feel like the girlfriends did something to make them not talk in the hallways like they used to. Maybe the girlfriends put all the attention on them, not each other.

               That was it bye.      

Charlie and his family are very poor, but the thing I find interesting about them is the way that they live. The seven of them are really happy people but can't afford food, and the right clothing for all of them. Charlie walks home every day while passing Mr. Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The smell of the marvelous Factory leads Charlie to come closer and smell the creamy, chocolaty, crunchy chocolate bars. But ever since ten years ago Charlie wasn't able to get in and see the chocolate factory from the inside.

In about one week Willy Wonka sends a note saying that five lucky people will be allowed in the factory for one whole day. Charlie is delighted because every single year the family saves up to afford a chocolate bar on his Birthday. Charlie ends up lucky and finds the last Golden Ticket to get in, and if you are still with Willy Wonka at the end of the tour and not get lost you will have a life supply of food. The Bucket family is more than happy to have this experience and very thankful for this opportunity, But Charlie is only allowed to bring one family member and he chooses, Grandpa Joe.

My prediction is gonna be that Charlie is in the Chocolate Factory he is going to be the most polite out of the five and win the special prize.

I wasn't able to finish this book this week but I'll keep you posted for next week on Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

I think of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire as very intelligent and bright children. I think they are also always looking for the bright side because they just moved in with a so-called relative who is very rude, his house is very filthy, and he treats the children with no respect. His name is Count Olaf. He makes them get the groceries, cook the dinner, clean up, and he doesn't even give them two beds. They all three share one bed.

I think that the children will try to go to different guardians over time and I think that Count Olaf will follow them and that the children will never escape him.

I will keep you posted. Bye!

This week, I am reading Unplugged. It's about a boy named Jett Baranov, and how he always got what he wanted. He’s spoiled, and a tech billionaire. So, Jett’s father, Vladimir Baranov sends Jett on a private jet, all the way to Arkansas. Jett can’t believe it. He has to go to an Oasis. 

That means: No electronics, eating healthy ONLY (so technically he has to become a vegetarian AND get used to it.) Jett can’t believe that his dad sent him here, and flew almost  around the whole world, just to go to an Oasis

Then, he is forced to hand over his phone, eat healthy veggie patties, and participate in wholesome activities with the other kids, and Jett is already annoyed at Matt. Jett’s assistant. He also works at Fuego with Jett’s dad, so Matt isn't new.

  Speaking of kids, Jett meets some other kids that are his age. These kid’s names are: Grace Atwater, and Brandon Feldman. Am sure Jett  will be great friends with Grace, and Brandon soon enough. Then, that's when Jett meets Ivory. Ivory  is one  of the Oasis's teachers, AKA assistant of the founder of “The Oasis Of Mind & Body Wellness”. 

Ivory, then talks to Jett in a VERY calm voice. As soon as Jett handed Ivory his phone, she snatched it, and lifted up a chair. Ivory then said, “I have muscles, It's because I am an Oasis teacher and assistant.” Still, in a VERY calm voice. 

After that, Jett felt something off about the Oasis, but he didn't really mind because he had just came. 

That’s all for today, hope u guys loved it! And I will keep you posted next week! Bye!           

This week  I started reading Benchwarmers by John Feinstein. 

Benchwarmers is about a girl named Andi trying out for the boys travel soccer team.

Andi’s school has a girls field hockey travel team and a boys travel soccer team. 

Instead of trying out for the field hockey team Andi tries out for the soccer team. 

Once the tryouts roll around Andi walks in confidently then Arlow a bully says “ does that mean we can try out for the girls field hockey team, haha” but that does not stop Andi.

I think Andi is unbothered and brave because, even though she was getting bullied she still 

Keeped on going and never gave up. Thats really important. I can relate because,  during softball tryouts I did not feel like i’d make the team and i felt really discouraged and i never 

Gave up and as a result i made the team twice actually. Knowing I did not give up makes 

Me fell very happy. I predict that Andi will make the team and she will be happy and proud 

Just like me.

I hope you liked my read and respond tonight. I will keep you posted

                       this week, Wings Of Fire, The Hidden Kingdom, Book #3 in the wings of fire graphic novel series! So far in this book I have learned that the Rainwing Queens take TURNS, being Queen!! It's crazy, RIGHT???!!! So basically Glory the Rainwing is the main, main character other than the others being Clay, Tsunami, Sunny, and Starflight. In each book one of the characters are the main, main character! So, In this book I have learned that Glory found out that Rainwings really kinda are as lazy as everyone says, but isn’t as lazy as everyone says. She gets into a series of challenges with the Queen that has her turn now declaring that if the “Queen” wins she will stay Queen and won’t have to help, but if Glory wins she gets to be Queen forever, no turns, and if someone else wants to be Queen they have to beat her in a series of the same challenges that her and the “Queen” went through. 

Of course Glory wins, and she helps everyone and meets one of the three princesses, Blaze! 

Who is supposed to be pretty, but not bright. 

So, when they met her an assassin tried to kill her, a nightwing assassin, that really liked Glory, so he didn’t try to kill her or her friends! So after meeting Blaze they they went back to the rainforest to try to catch the “Monster” in the rainforest. 

That is as far as I have read this week! My prediction is that they will catch the monster and save the missing rainwings! Wait, did I mention that there were missing rainwings? Oh ok! 

Anyways, Thank you for reading my R&R on Wings Of Fire, The Hidden Kingdom: Book

This week I continued The Eyes and The Impossible by Dave Eggers. The animals have a plan to sneak The Eyes into the big stone building because he wants to see what is inside. Ever since Twisty tried to keep him as a pet, The Eyes has to wear a dog sweater and a collar because the park rangers are searching for him (as I expected). Also new animals came to the park, I think they are goats.

Bertrand the bird kind of resembles me in a way because he usually helps other animals. Like when The Eyes got kidnapped by Twisty. Bertrand was the first person who noticed and assembled the animals to help. Like when I help out with bus buddies! 

I was surprised when the goats arrived. They shocked all the animals. When Bertrand tried to talk to them, they were nasty and told us that it’s only an island. Bertrand felt dumb not knowing so. The Eyes met a friendly goat that is different and isolated because of the patterns on their horns. She is called “a monster.” I think that is racist because of the patterns on horns. I think that it’s ok to be different.

I am worried for The Eyes because the rangers are onto him because the sweater only changed a bit, so they could find out that it’s him. He has to be cautious because there are people looking for him. Somehow the Rangers cemented the hollow of the tree that was his home and thankfully Sonja the squirrel was able to take him in for the night. I think The Eyes is sick because he is sleeping for days, so I do not think it’s good.

I think Sonja is a noble squirrel because she shows respect to all the forest animals. Some other traits about Sonja: she is kind, helpful , sneaky, smart, creative. Thanks for reading bye

Week 2 

Eloise’s R and R

10/2/25

This week I continued reading Absolutely Truly by Heather Frederick. 

So far they had gone to the town library to search up the code that was on it. Cha Cha and Truly thought that it was just some secret language but then somehow their other friend Lucas got in on it too and he recognized it as a call number. When they were at the library Cha Cha searched it up and it said ITEM NOT FOUND. But Lucas had another idea he said “ Lets ask Mr Henry.” “ Whose Mr. Henry?” Truly asked. “ He is the children's librarian.” Cha Cha replied. So they asked Mr. Henry said “ Sadly we don't have it here but there is one at Lovejoy college, do you want me to get it for you?” Just when Truly was going to say yes Cha Cha said “no thanks” Truly turned to her and asked “ Why not.” And all Cha Cha said is “ We can get it quicker.” Truly found out that one of the biggest bullies in the school's parents work at Lovejoy collage but how were they going to get him to say yes? Well it turns out he really wants to beat his best friend. For what you ask for the money from the dance. Calhoun (The bully) Says yes and then they find out they are looking for Shakespeare now we have so many people in this scavenger hunt. There is Truly, Cha Cha, Lucas, Jamsmen and Calhoun. They are all here to help solve the mystery.

I am more than half done with this book and I have noticed that Truly and her Dad have gotten closer. I know that Truly still calls him a silent man but he is coming out. And with the tutoring they are getting closer, nicer to each other. He used to be timid, unpredictable, heartless, and demanding. But now he is independent, lackadaisical, and fearless. He has gotten less to silent man and more to magical seven. Everyone is happier when he is happier. I think being back home near his family has helped a lot. In my opinion I think everything is better, nicer, bright ect

J.T (DAD) was wearing his hook but Pippa the youngest hated it when he was wearing his hook but this was an unexpected visit to the book shop. So when Aunt True started telling Pippa to think about it like a story with Captain Hook J.T started laughing and letting Pippa chase him around the book store. That is why I think everyone and everything is better when J.T is happy and laughing.

That's all for now BYEEEE 🎉😀🥳 

This week I continued with a Dog’s Purpose. Bailey's new life is much better than before, in his old life.I think Toby lived another life. One, he was small again, two,  before he was a different breed, and most importantly he has a new name, Bailey. In the story Bailey, and his boy, Ethen got new neighbors that were mean and rude. The boy that lived in the neighbors house was named Todd and stole Bailey! He was going to rub permanent glue on Bailey! But then, Todd got called out by his mom and Linda, Todd's younger sister, saved him and let him go home. Now, on a happier note Bailey went to their Grandpa's and Grandma's farm and Bailey learned how to swim. Ethen and his family went to.

 I love how Baily is very brave. In the story it says, Bailey and Ethan looked over the edge of the bout and rock, rock, rock. Ethan with a splash fell in the lake. Bailey watches as the Ethen slowly drifts to the bottom of the lake. With another splash, Bailey dives in to save Ethan. Though he is fine. That shows me that Bailey will do everything to save Ethan. This shows me that Bailey is brave.

Bailey is willing to try new things like the dog door. You think that a dog will walk through a dog door. Bailey is not. a. normal. dog. no way. 2,000,000,000 tries later Bailey got it! Ethen was at school and Bailey was in the garage when he smelled the fresh cut grass that he loves. He sticks his nose out. Then his face. Then he was out as the cold air hit him. He knew what the door was for. DOGS.

Bailey is the most perseverance dog ever. One time when Bailey and his family were at the farm when Bailey encountered a skunk and sprayed him in the face. Then, the next day Bailey went back to find the skunk and to say he was sorry. Then, the skunk sprayed him again. This shows me that Bailey is perseverance and lighthearted.

All this shows me that Bailey is a good role model. With his actions not his stories. That's all for this week.

Right now Emily has broken in to the secure prison. But, oh no the guards have spotted her.

I hope she is okay? After Emily is captured with her friends she is sent to plead her case with Neptune.  

Emily and her friends have to overcome many obstacles along the way. Finally her father is set free.  Now she can live a normal teen age life, well sort of.  Emily has to struggle with reuniting her family, being half merfolk, half human, and reconnect with her mother. I hope her father can catch her up with being a mermaid!

Hi, this week I continued Keeper Of The Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. Sophie, Fitz, Biana, and Tam go to nightfall to find Sophies’s parents. When they go to nightfall Sophie senses thoughts somewhere in the hideout. When they go to the place where the thoughts were coming from. When Sophie goes in ot the room the see Avalar, (Biana and Fitz’s older brother) 

In my opinion when they bring Avalar to Tam’s house it’s a bad idea because if he wakes up Tam’s parents could be in trouble. Also if they keep him in the lost cities the council might find out that he is at their house, because the council might become suspenseful because all elves have registry pendants and that tracks where they’ve been. 

I predict that I will go to Lady Giselea and tell her that she lied about her family being there. Also I think that Della and Alden will be horrified and melancholy about this situation because he is still their son. 

That’s all I have for this week's suspense. Until next time… Bye!

In the book Unwanteds Alex sees a mysterious hallway that no one else can see, everyone else just sees a giant mirror. Alex always is trying to find the right time to check it out but it's always way too crowded around there. One night Alex has one of his Aaron nightmares and wakes up in the middle of the night. He finds this a good time to see what's inside, after an unbearable time walking down that long narrow hallway he finds that someone else had the same curiosity as he did. “How can he see the hallway?” Alex thought.

Back to last week’s R&R we talked about how Alex is about caught up to all of his friends in magical warrior training EXCEPT FOR ONE FRIEND. Lani is that one friend, Lani has been suspiciously reading all the time even bumping into people occasionally. Well there is one reason why, she is. She is researching NEW spells for example there is one spell in particular that really set me off, and it starts with a D.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week's R&R

     Skandar Smith was going to take the hatchery exam! He was so excited whether he could pass or not. His dad and sister cheering him on, he was confident that he was going to make them proud. He was all ready to go. But when he went to take it… The teachers said that he couldn’t take the big exam. Shocked, he asked again and again but his teacher just said get out of the school.

     After a while he was at his house sobbing. His brain was full of anger to think about anything. It was midnight. People who passed the exam would get 5 knocks on the door. To be able to try the hatchery door. To be able to bond with a unicorn. To live on the island. Dad was trying to cheer him up. His sister comforting his little brother. But then, there were 5 knocks on the door. “ Skandar Smith, you have passed the test. You are  called to the island” the person said… 

     If Skandar didn’t pass the exam I think he would be sad and disappointed like Kenna when she failed her Hatchery exam. For example, when the teacher said that he couldn’t take the test he was so shocked. So I think he is going to be traumatized for his whole entire life. I think his life will be worse and worse when he thinks about it. If this was my situation I will never be happy again! I wonder why he wanted to be a rider in the first place? I think Skandar will become a rider. He is so desperate that he wants to become a rider. I like this book because it has a lot of cliff hangers. I wonder what the next cliff hanger will be?

About the book right now.A surprising part when Jessie biked over  Megan house to see if she wanted to play.But the surprising part was when Jessie said “do you want to play.’’ but Megan responded back ‘’who are you.’’Jessie was shocked that Megan didn't remember her and so Jessie said back to Megan ‘’I’m Jessie Evan’s little sister '’’.Then she pointed down the street to her house.

Then Jessie took her helmet off .’'ah I see now said Megan You are Jessie’’.I couldn't see because of the helmet.’’ ‘’So you want to play.’’Megan said yes to Jesse's request. I knew what Jessie was going to do. She wanted to do a lemonade stand. And I was right. She did because it’s her favorite thing to do.like I said in the beginning of the story.

Jessie showed Megan how she had a lock box And how they can use it in their lemonade stand. Jessie told Megan they To make change with the customers money. But I don’t think Megan really wanted to do a lemonade stand. Because they were sitting there talking and the frozen lemonade cans were melting.And that's when a thought came to Jessie’s head The Evan told her Jessie those’’ girls are making fun of you they are not nice.’’so I think this hole part of the story was a flashback.                                                                                                                                               

Roald Dahl, the author, used 15 different verbs to elongate the storm and make you feel like you were on the peach. This helped me understand what the word deluge means. I am tempted to try and use that technique in my writing.

I honestly don't have a prediction on how it will end. I would love for him to live with the insects, but there isn't a sequel, so I think he will find new parents. With no sequel, I think that I will read another Roald Dahl book next. 

I think Greg is kind of like my brother because he sometimes annoys me but sometimes he is nice. In the story, Greg is annoying Rowley while he is studying and Greg starts to copy him and make annoying noises while Rowley was working. My brother also sometimes bothers me while I am doing something.

I predict that if there would be another book, then Rowley is not going to be friends with Greg and is going to ignore Greg, because he is always annoying him. I also predict that Greg is going to steal something from Rowley and Rowley is not going to notice.

That's what I think about the story and I also wonder why Rowley is still friends with rowley and that's it for this week.

I especially feel bad for Sunny, because she is just a baby and never really got to experience the joys of having a mother and a father. But I also feel bad for Violet, because she is the oldest and has to take on ALOT of responsibility. Klaus though, is also very sad because he misses his books REALLY badly. 

I am very intrigued by this book because from the moment I read a R&R about it I wanted to know what happened next.

Will keep you posted on the unfortunate events of the Baudelaire children!

Bye!😁

Tonight I continued reading the Land of stories the second book, in the part that I’m reading Alex and Conner parent got kidnapped by the evil enchantment that tried to kill Sleeping Beauty but failed and they are wondering what the enchantment would want with there mother but they grandmother on there dads side is the fairy god mother but there dad is dead so maybe they want there mom now. Mother Goose is watching them and Alex did something to Mother Goose and she told them that their mom is in a cottage in the forest but Mother Goose wasn’t supposed to tell them that it was a secret. Since the twins know Alex went off looking for her mom and she did not care if she died or not, half way there her bike tire got deflated and she had to walk the rest when she was walking a bridge broke and she was hanging on the edge. Luckily, Conner noticed that she was gone and told Mother Goose that she was sick and when she checked on Alex, Conner stole Mother gooses, goose and went flying around looking for Alex, Conner found Alex and saved her.

My favorite character is Mother Goose right on because she is so out going and for an example she fell for when Conneer told her that Alex was sick and also when so told Alex about her mom. I also like Alex because she is also out going because she went looking for her mom when she is under an enchantment me my self would never do that. I also like fairy god mother because she has all the power and I read other stories about her and I really liked them one of the books was the land of stories one. 

I predict that they're going to find their mom and save her and maybe kill the enchantment but I don’t know if they can because the enchantment is really strong. I also think there going to find out what the enchantment wanted with their mom.

That’s all for this week byeeee!!

At first, Evan didn't know what that meant, but then he thought it was either the lemonade stand or Megan Moriarty. But it was both.The part I didn't like was when Jessie and Evan were fighting like where Jessie called Evan a jerk. Or when Evan said, “You're a showoff and everyone thinks “you're the smart one”. 

What I thought was really rude and heart breaking was when Jessie shouted to Evan, “l don't want to do a lemonade stand with you.’’  

Evan shouted back to Jessie, ‘’Well, then I don't want to do one with you.’’

“I’ll do one with Megan instead because she is my friend.’’

Evan responded, “You can't be friends with her.’

’’Why not?”  Replied Jessie.

“Because you don’t belong in fourth grade.’’ After Evan said those words, her heart sank and thoughts zoomed into her head. She thought to herself, “Does Megan like me?’ She thought again, “Megan must like me, I mean she invited me to her house tomorrow. She must like me, right?”

              Here is a little summary about where I’m at in my story. So there are two main characters. There is Alan, who is Alex’s dad. There is a dragon that is trying to catch them but his mission is that they kill them. Then they move away to Los Angeles. The dragons let me tell you now the dragons are very IRATE at that moment. 

                My opinion is that the dragons are gonna go to Los Angeles and try to find them. Just remember in mind that they can't see the dragons or else their mission is a failure. If the little family sees them they will be really scared or if they see them again they will try to kill the dragons and the mission will be over, they are dead and they can’t just choose three other dragons to try to kill them, the rest of them are on different missions they have to complete.  

                My second opinion is that they will kill the dragons and then they will feel safe again. When three other dragons are free I feel like the master is gonna send those three to try to kill them, I bet they won’t stop until the little family is dead. I think that the family is gonna kill all the dragons. I feel like it’s gonna come to the final dragons and they come close but don’t kill them. Hope you liked it come back next week for more.

I think all of the Baudelaire children are incredibly intelligent and definitely incredibly brave. Let's take Klaus for an example. Count Olaf struck him across the face and he didn't shed a tear. Violet is the most responsible. She is always telling her siblings to look for the bright side when all of them are wondering is there even a bright side? 

My prediction is that Count Olaf will still be the evil, ridiculous man that he is and that Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire will do everything in their power to try to stop him.

I will keep you posted! Bye!

Baby Sitters Little Sister 

Karen’s Birthday by: Katy Farina

This week i started reading karen’s birthday. 

The book is about a girl named Karen and her brother Andrew And their parents are divorced so they switch houses a lot,and Karen’s birthday is coming up, and the one wish she has is to celebrate her birthday all together with her whole family. So Karen thinks of a plan to get her parents married again and celebrate all together. The first thing Karen tries is getting her parents to talk and that doesn’t work so she acts greedy and that doesn’t work either so she makes a birthday list with 212 gifts and her parents talk but don’t only talk fight. Then Karen falls on the playground and scrapes her knee the nurse says it might have gravel in it and calls her mom the Karen thought of a sneaky plan and calls her dad too they get there and fight again. Then there is only one more thing Karen can think about wich is putting her mom’s wedding book on the table open for her stepdad to see, and it still doesn’t work and Karen is out of ideas.

I think even tough other people think Karen is being greedy I think Karen just loves her family and has a good heart.

I can relate to Kareen because I have two step siblings and I wish they were here all the time. Also for my tenth birthday my step sister couldn’t make to my birthday and I was really sad. My one wish that year was that she could come to my birthday but she couldn’t. Also sometimes I wish they could come to my softball games but they are to busy with field hockey and baseball. 

I hope you enjoyed my read and respond tonight.

This week I switched it up and I just finished Spaceboy by David Walliams. Spaceboy is about a girl named Ruth and her 3 legged dog Yuri living with her horrible Aunt Dorothy. Then a UFO crashed in to Aunt Dorothy’s farm in the wheat. So Aunt Dorothy called the Sheriff, but the Sheriff called the law. The law wanted their hands on Spaceboy- but he’s just a normal boy! But they don’t know that. 

I think that Ruth and Spaceboy can relate to each other because Spaceboy did this because he was tired of his own farm. So, he built a UFO to go to space but crash landed and changed his name from Kevin to Spaceboy. Ruth also hates her farm and hates space. Some traits I have noticed are….

Ruth is determined to get her and her dog Yuri sent to space. Ruth is also very courageous, like when there was a canyon that was sloped and Ruth was the one said to slide down. Ruth is also very overprotective over Yuri like when she could go into space or risk her life to get her dog.

I think that Kevin is brave but skittish, like when he had to slide down the sloped canyon, he did it without exaggerating.

Yuri is just purely selfless like when he risked his life to save his mistress and when he gave up his egg whisk leg to make it to space. So that shows pure selflessness.

Thanks for reading bye!  

10/6/25-10/10/25

In a Dog’s Purpose, Bailey was out on a midnight walk alone. While Bailey was gone Todd (the one who tried to rub permanent glue on Bailey) was jealous that (older) Ethan had a girlfriend when he didn't. He set Ethan's house on fire while Ethan and his family were inside and asleep. Ethen’s Mom and Dad ran outside and Ethen got stuck in his room. His Mom and Dad were calling his name. He did not respond. Then, Bailey tried to save him but was forced out by the fire. Then, Ethen through a chair and the dreaded mutated frisbee through the window to escape. Ethan jumped out the window and instead of landing past the bushes he landed in them. Which were on fire and then he rolled in the snow to put the fire out. This makes me want Todd to leave earth forever.

One reason I want Todd to leave is because he is the WORST person in the world. He punches kids and wants to set one of the toy trucks Ethen and his family built on fire. He also wants to pelt the preschoolers with snowballs. That is so down right cruel like who does that. I'll tell you who, Todd.

Imagine that you are a little preschooler and you're very scared. You end up face first in the snow because someone pelted you in the back of your head FOR FUN with a snowball. You would be crying while the pelter (Todd) is laughing at you. No fun. 

The Life Of Todd.

This is how Todd lives his life, without a care, for some petty little kids that he could crush in a minute. What he can't do is be nice. It is like not talking but worse. I want to kick him off earth.

The actions of Todd are what we should not do. What we should do is kick people like Todd off the face of earth. Just kidding, we should not let it get to us. Be strong. Don't back down, just stand up. That's all I have For this week.

After last time I posted I reread some parts of the series, so now I will post about book two. So after book one, Quill discovers the existence of Artime after Alex tries to get his twin brother Aaron to join them. Samheed, Lani, and Meghan. (All semi-main characters) Use Claire’s boat to go to the next island, but they discover too late that it is being controlled by the evil Queen Eagala. Meanwhile, in Artime, after Marcus Today goes through the tube to try and talk to his friend, slash new high priest of quill, Gunnar Haluki, Aaron uses his stolen heart attack spells to kill him, and Artime falls into chaos. 

       I feel like this book emphasizes Aaron's perspective way more than the last one, and a bunch of new characters are introduced. I think the author does a good job by thoroughly telling the emotions the characters are feeling, like devastating heartbreak, exciting moments, and just normal everyday feelings. Lastly, I think the lesson is how you should never judge people by what they did, but what they are doing now. Because even though Aaron killed Marcus, he feels regret and pain for doing so too. And later in the series, turns into a good person. That's it for this week, Shawn out. “Beep Boop”

Hi, this week I continued reading Keeper Of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. This week Sophie goes to heal Prentice and Fitz comes with her. Sophie merges into Prentice’s mind and tells him that Wilie has been taken care of by Terigen ever since Criah died. In the end Prentice is healed but he is still unconscious.

In my opinion I agree with Sophie that Mr. Forkle is keeping too many secrets because if he didn’t they could have found her parents at nightfall because, nightfall was actually designed for human examination and there is a woman called Versepera and she tested humans. If Mr. Forkle told them about Versepera the could have found her and brought her to the council and, all of Versepera secrets could be in a cache. 

I predict that Sophie will try to go find her parents and Versepera and bring Sophie’s parents home and put Verepera in exile for her crimes. Also I think that Sophie will investigate where they held her parents in case there is any important information about the neverseen. 

That’s all I have for this weeks suspense. Until next time…!

This week I continued reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K. Rowling. 

Harry, Hermione, Mrs. Sprot, and the rest of the class are in the green house. They are learning about mandrakes. The class seemed interested in mandrakes. 

When  I was reading the part about mandrakes I felt scared. I felt this way because they are this little plant thing that when they cry, it can kill you in 10 seconds. Mandrakes let out a screech that when heard  can be fatal.

 In this section Hermione shows she's a smart character. Hermione was smart when a teacher asked a question her hand shot up first. Then Harry said “to nobody’s surprise Hermione's hand was the first in the air”. This shows she is always answering questions and is smart.

A prediction that I have is that a mandrake will kill someone. I think this because they are learning about them and I think it will lead to that.

Week 3 

Eloise’s R and R

10/9/25

This week I continued Absolutely Truly by Heather Frederick

Truly’s dad and mom went to get Truly's dad J.T a new better, more realistic arm.  While they were away for the weekend Truly’s aunt had an idea to redecorate the book shop. Everyone helped. Ella Bellow the nosy post man told Hello Boston and they came to do a segment. The whole town pitched in. They painted the walls and people donated chairs and carpets etc. Everyone was excited to see J.T.'s reaction. But Aunt True was nervous. Even though she was the older sidling J.T was very stubborn. When everyone left that Saturday Truly noticed something that did not go well with Aunt True’s nervousness. The first addition of Charlotte's Web was gone! Truly needed to figure out who took it but she already had a mystery on her and her friends hands so she decided to take it herself. And on top of that Aunt True had persuaded J.T to let Truly try out for the swim team and SHE MADE IT! Pumpkin Falls is really turning around for Truly.

In my opinion I love Aunt True’s personality and persistence. She always brightens someone's day with her love and energy. The way Truly has described old J.T and Aunt True I feel that they are or were so much alike. I also love how whenever Truly meets someone new she tries to guess what type of bird they would be. I think that just adds so much fun to the book.

This book has been so good. I think it is one of my new favorite books. It has been full of adventure cliff hangers and very descriptive writing. What I love about books is if I can picture what is happening and with this book I can. If I would rate this book I would give it a 9 and a half. You should definitely read this book.

That's all for now byeeeee

When Charlie finds the last golden ticket he chooses grandpa Joe to go with him. The next morning Charlie wakes up excited, he grabs grandpa Joe and heads over to the factory.

The five lucky finders are all lined up next to each other as Charlie inspects each and every one, there's Augustus Gloop a fat boy who eats chocolate every day, Veruca Salt who is very spoiled, Violet Beauregarde who only chews gum and has a world record for it, Mike Teavee who has his eyes glued to the TV the whole day and the one and only skinny Charlie who looks like he hasn't eaten in years. A couple minutes later the gates start to open and out of nowhere comes Willy Wonka.

Willy Wonka brings all the golden ticket finders inside the factory and heads straight to the Candy room.

All the kids dash into the room eating everything in their path, while the parents are still asking some questions. Suddenly a small figure about the height of Willy Wonka’s knee, starts to whack a mint tree knocking some mints down. And then 2,3,4,5,6,7 more appear doing some sort of work to help the factory.

 Willy Wonka then shares a story on how he found the “Oompa Loompa’s” “ I was in Loompa Land looking for excotic new flavors, but instead he found the Oompa Loompas. They lived in tall treehouses to escape the deadly creatures like the Whangdoodles, the Snozzwangers and the Hornswogglers. The Oompa Loompa’s didn’t understand English so Willy Wonka tapped his shoulders and chest to tell them that they could work at the factory for unlimited cocoa beans, because they craved those and they would only find 3 or 4 a year. So after speaking with the chief they agreed.

“Augustus, that is not good for you!” Augustus Gloop was leaning his body over the edge, reaching his head to drink the chocolate river. Willy Wonka almost screams at him “My chocolate must be untouched by human hands!” Augustus leans in further to the point where… he falls in.

That's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this, and I will keep you posted on what happens next.

                                                              Volume 1

Hello guys! This week I read, Warriors, The Prophecies Begin. In this book we meet our first character, named Rusty. He has a dream about him catching his first mouse! (By the way, all of the characters are cats!) 

And he wants to go to the forest to catch his first prey ever! But this time (he’s gone to the edge of the forest many times to look)he actually goes past his sister who asks, “Are you sure Rusty? There are Wildcats out there!”  and then he goes in… but he finds a cat named Graypaw who later becomes his closest friend! When they first meet Garypaw pounces on him and attacks him, but he’s still not as strong as a warrior! So, neither of them win or lose! 

Graypaw tells Rusty about the four clans in the forest, “Fierce and honorable Thunderclan, Sleek and powerful Riverclan, Wise and swift Windclan, and proud, cruel Shadowclan.”

So basically Rusty is invited to Thunderclan which is the clan that Graypaw is in and he becomes known as Firepaw! Sadly he is made fun of for originally being a “kittypet” AKA a pet.

Soon Firepaw is a proud and noble member of Thunderclan, some cats still make fun of him but he doesn’t care, because he is proud to be part of Thunderclan. He has gone into war with theclan and is now a true Thunderclan member! I hope that you guys will see my next three entries on the next three books!

           Thank you for reading my R&R! 

 Artime has recently started training sessions, they started them because they think/know that Quill will discover them, and start a WAR. so Artime started doing training sessions to prepare for Quill, and their mechanics, guns, tanks, and bombs. During the training sessions a “Newbie” as in the new people, gets paired up with a “Pro” as in someone who has been there for a long time so they have more experience. The “Newbie” gets to practice their attacks on the “Pro”, and the “Pro” has to get defences to defend themselves from the “Newbie”

Back to the ASSUREDLY HORRIBLE spell that Lani learned which first letter is D. That scandalous spell is, DEATH… I have no record of what book she read that spell from but there is one thing I do know, that book was unequivocally HORRID. But Lani has lightened up, for example, Alex painted himself invisible and when he was invisible he kissed Lani on the cheek. For the next couple days Lani had been blushing non stop all the TIME. And her face turned blood red when she saw Alex.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R.

In my book right now Sophie,Fitz and Keefe went to find the Neverseen, but when they walked down a path that the Neverseen watched because they knew that Sophie and a few of her friends would walk down there. Right when they stepped on that pathway Lady Giesela was there,Sophie said that she wanted Tam to come back to the Black Swan, Right after she said that Tam appeared out behind her and told her to stay away from the Neverseen. Sophie then stayed away after the attack. Sophie then went to councilor Orlie and Sophie tried guessing who her biological mother was but she was standing right in front of her, it was councilor Orlie. 

   Once Sophie figured out it was councilor Orlie Sophie got mad at councilor Orlie because she didn't tell Sophie that she was hermom. After Sophie stormed out of councilor Orlie’s house. Sophie then started to prepare for the battle at Loanmore because Lady Gisela sent her a note to go to Loanmore aka London, and she said to bring Keefe. mom. After Sophie stormed out of councilor Orlie’s house. Sophie then started to prepare for the battle at Loanmore because Lady Gisela sent her a note to go to Loanmore aka London, and she said to bring Keefe. mom. After Sophie stormed out of councilor Orlie’s house. Sophie then started to prepare for the battle at Loanmore because Lady Gisela sent her a note to go to Loanmore aka London, and she said to bring Keefe. Once Sophie and Keefe got to Loanmore the battle began and the dwarf king was captured and it was all up to Sophie and Keefe because all her friends went to sleep. Then Sophie and Keefe got tied up in vines while dwarfs were coming from the ground. Then Sophie and Keefe realised the dwarf king was secretly working with the Neverseen. Then Tam and Keefe had to fight because Lady Gisela ordered Tam to and Keefe got hurt and slept. Then Tam was out of  Lady Gisela's control and started to fight Lady Gisela but Lady Gisela leaped away at the last second before Tam could kill her. After Keefe was asleep and when he would wake up he would have another ability. Now Sophie and councilor Orlie are teaming up to figure out what Lady Gisela actually wanted from Keefe's legacy.. I predict that in the next book Keefe’s going to wake up and start catching up about what's happening, and Sophie and councilor Orlie will figure out what Lady Gisela wanted with Keefes legacy...

After Skandar went on the unicorn he saw all the other people who had taken the hatchery exam. He was at the door when he saw Bobby (his friend). He was right in front of the door. A lot of people had made it through the exam but not the door. Skandar is worried that he made Kenna jealous. He wanted to impress his dad by becoming a rider. Lot’s of people didn’t take the exam. Some are angry and some are just putting their heads down. Now he is really scared, he is right in front of the hatchery door. He took a deep breath and then shoved his hand to the door and then pushed it wide open. Then the door creaked open. I made it, he thought. The joy came flooding to his body. 

After a few minutes, the instructor gave everyone an egg to hatch for themselves. He saw his egg crack. He held his breath. Then came a black unicorn yawning. Then it came to him. Scoundrel’s Luck… 

I think Skandar is dumb because he regrets that he should go to the hatchery door. It is his dream to become a unicorn rider, it is his only way to become a rider. I wonder if he is going to get a friend. I think he should make a friend because he won’t be lonely and if he gets bullied his friend will stand up for him. I wonder if he won’t get any friends then his unicorn can be his friend. I wonder if he is going to see his moms dead body. I like fantasy because I can think of things that I didn’t even think about. When he was going to open the hatchery door, this reminded me of when I first went to school, because I was nervous and scared just like he was. I predict that he and Scoundrel’s luck are going to have fun adventures at the island.  

I think that I’m like Nate because me and him are stubborn. I also think that I’m like Francis because he is very smart. My brother Is also like Francis but he is funny like Teddy(Nate's other friend). But Nate sometimes could get in trouble like earlier in the book he jumps off a table onto a bean bag for fun but it pops so he gets in trouble. Francis doesn't get in trouble a lot like me but he plays sports and is a little athletic.

I think Chad is very lucky sometimes because when Nate jumped off the table and onto the beanbag. They both get in trouble, but later Nate’s band has to perform, and it’s during detention so they both get it off, but Chad is not in the band.

I also think that nate should be neater because his locker is a mess but that’s a story for another time.

This week,in James and the Giant Peach, the seagulls flew into a rainbow cloud.Centipede got rainbow paint all over him and it hardened like cement. No one knew what to do, but then a giant storm cloud came and ‘’turned on the faucets.’’ When the rain had passed, everyone was okay and Centipede had no more paint on him.

Roald Dahl, the author, used 15 different verbs to elongate the storm and make you feel like you were  on the peach. This helped me understand what the word deluge means.I am tempted to try and use that technique in my writing.

I honestly don't have a prediction on how it will end.I would love for him to live with the insects, but there isn't a sequel, so I think he will find new parents. With no sequel, I think that I will read another Roald Dahl book next. 

Anyway I will start from where I stopped last week. The children woke up the next morning and Mr. Pope told them they were going to be staying with their distant Count Olaf. They didn’t know who Count Olaf was but they had high hopes. But when they met him their hopes flew out the window. Count Olaf's house was VERY dirty and so was he. Even the way he treated the poor Baudelaires was dirty! Every morning Count Olaf would give them a long list of chores such as chopping firewood! Can you imagine CHILDREN chopping firewood?!

I think that Count Olaf is a greedy man because when he was “welcoming” the kids he kept on hinting about wanting the Baudelaire fortune which, by the way, was not to be touched until Violet came of age. I can see A LOT of persistence in the children because even though they complained, they still did the work. Violet, especially, is being VERY positive and looking for the bright side.

I think that Count Olaf is going to keep trying to get at the money and the three kids will try to stop him.

Stay tuned for more unfortunate events!

This week I started a book called The Ghost Grave by: PEG KEHRET. I have read some other books that she had written and I liked them so maybe I will like this book too. The title sounds like a creepy book and I hope it is because I haven't read a creepy book in a while and also the cover looks creepy. 

In this book this boy named Josh is the main charterer of the story. Josh flew to Seattle to live with his Aunt Ethel. In the drive he sees a grave yard and his Aunt Ethel lives off a grave yard. The first time he walks into the house that his Aunt Ethel lives in he sees a bat and starts yelling “bat bat bat” he wasn't afraid of bats it was that he was surprised that there was a bat. His Aunt Ethel took care of it. I meant that she killed it. Josh didn’t want it dead, he wanted it out and they eat mosquitoes and I bet that Josh didn’t want any mosquitoes in the  house or the graveyard because they can fly into the house that Aunt Ethel lives in.

My favorite character is Aunt Ethel because she is so outgoing. For an example she said I will take care of it and started killing it when the bat did nothing just got into the house. And she bought a house in a graveyard. Personally, I would never do that because I think that graveyards are haunted but I guess she does it.

My prediction is that the boy is going to explore the grave yard and find ghost because that is what the tile says because it says The Ghost Grave and maybe the tile has something to do with it.

I hope you liked my reading response. I will keep you posted!! 

I’m only in the first chapter, this is where I’m at. There is a storyteller and the storyteller is telling me about this girl who is named Brie and she is new to the school. Whenever her school has field day ( which is a fun school activity ) she always wins the races and athletic activities like a race, a football game, a basketball competition, and many other things I can name a lot of other events. 

My opinion is that they will think that it is unfair that she wins every single sporting event. When they tell the teacher the teacher's sock will be flying off their feet. Then they will put her into a more challenging field day, the ones only the best can join.The teachers put Brie into the class and she crushed that field day to the teachers are even more surprised, because they don’t know what to do with her. I think that they will wait to put more challenging kids in. 

Another opinion that I have is that they waited and no one can beat her. I feel like there is a family that trains her to do this. Or maybe she just goes to the gym and maybe even lives there cause maybe she is at the gym all day and she is really strong.

            Stay tuned for more next week.

All of the children are kind, smart, and very, very, very, creative. Violet was making a pulley from wire and a rod. Klaus reads every chance he gets and he is just full of knowledge, and Sunny. Sunny is still an infant but she is also a very, very, very important character.

I predict that when the book ends ( I am very close to the end) that the children will have thought of some other very intelligent plan and Violet would have dodged getting married to Count Olaf.

Will keep you posted! Bye!

  Jesse makes a bet with Evan on who can make the most money  doing lemonade stand.I think Jessie is going to win because she made this bet and she might have some tricks to win and get Evan's money. After what I read I think Evan has a special trick too because he invites his friends over And one of his friends carries in a big brown bag.When Jesse went downstairs to make herself a sandwich she looked in the trash and they were 12 empty lemonade cans 

Jessie calculates in her head how many cups they would sell with all that lemonade. It was 96 cups of lemonade.I bet Jesse thought they would make a fortune with having that much lemonade to sell on a hot day.Jesse thought in her head where did Evan get all that lemonade?Suddenly something bounced into Jesse's head. Maybe that was one was in the bag that Evan's friends were carrying.

In a Dog’s purpose Baily dies and has a new life. He is a girl and is named Ellie. She is a very smart puppy and is recruited as a search and rescue dog. She has an owner named Jacob and they play this ‘game’ called find. The game was to find this man named Walle. Then the first search and rescue that they went to was to find this girl that had been kidnaped.When they got there Jacob was shot. Jacob quit and Ellie got an owner named Milli. An earthquake came and then Ellie and Milli went to find people. No one saw the person in the air shaft but Ellie smelled her but, the poison smell was so strong but it was her job to save people. So, she ran into the shaft. Her  paws and nose were stinging but she saved the person and lost her sense of smell a little bit so she had to retire. I am shocked that Ellie saved that person. She is the bravest dog ever.

Ellie is so brave because of her past lives she risked her life to save ones that others thought were dead or hurt. All that love for people that she doesn't even know. She is the nicest and the bravest dog in the world or well to me. She shows kindness and bravery in everything she does. Those are the traits that I would love to be.

Ellie is also brave from her family (s). They will work to keep her safe and take her everywhere. They will show kindness to everyone that they meet and Ellie will almost  feed off that energy using it to make her a good and better person.

Ellie is brave in a lot of ways. The most important way is that Ellie is the optimist that most people want to be. They want to be so happy but rarely succeed. Ellie no she will go to the top in a blink of an eye. She goes from very very blue to a joyful ball of spirit.

Ellie is the most joyful dog forever in a ball of sunshine. She is brave, she is kind and she is an optimist. Those are great traits to have.

Today’s story was very wild. Skandar couldn’t believe his eyes. He was in the world of unicorns. His instructors were talking about what they are going to experience on the island. He heard wild unicorns growling. It was such a wonderful time until… THERE WAS A WILD UNICORN GETTING READY TO ATTACK! These deadly unicorns are immortal. As the unicorn approached, aiming the horn at Flo, Skandar’s friend. Flo screams at the top of her lungs. In the meantime Flo’s unicorn was hiding. 

I am glad Skandar went to  the island. Being on the island is the first step of a long journey to becoming a unicorn rider. This part of the book made me feel excited because there is a wild  unicorn, which is a dangerous creature! If I was with a creepy ferocious devil, I would faint to my death! I wonder if Skandar was scared. Will the wild Unicorn eat Flo and Flo’s unicorn?! What if the instructor didn’t know that there was a wild unicorn getting ready to charge! I wonder if Skandar tried to help Flo but he got crushed with her?! This section made me feel terrified. So many questions if Skandar will live or not. I predict that Skandar is going to try to help Flo from the dangerous situation. The parts in the book I read so far, he seemed really caring of others. For example, Skandar helped his dad, who was having financial problems. Or if he is evil enough he will leave her behind… Or maybe he is too scared to even look! 

Eloise’s R and R

I started reading Yours Truly, It is the second book to Absolutely Truly. 

Truly was so excited, her best friend/cousin Mackenzie was here for spring break! Everything was OK until her sister Loren got in between Menzies and Truly's relationship. It was all because there was a robbery of maple syrup town. Truly and her friends were trying to help but Loren ended up going with them and Truly got really mad at her. Loren kinda black mailed Truly. And Truly found the diary of her old ancestor the original Truly as they call it. And to top it all up Truly thinks that Menzies is dating her crush. But in McKenzie's defense she does not know that Truly likes him. Now Mackenzie is leaving in two days they still need to find the robber and Truly needs to apologize to Mackenzie. Everything is going on and Truly needs to fix it and she does not know how, right as she turned 13!

In my opinion I have to take Menzies' side on this. Truly is the one that is being extremely mean to Mackenzie! Why is she so nervous to confess her crush? All they need to do is talk. They can get better but why is it so hard for Truly to tell her cousin, her own blood, her secrets. All Menzies is doing is trying to have the time of her life with her best friend. And Truly is giving her sass. And it all started when Truly saw a letter in Calhorn's coat from Menzies. And if you have not guessed by now, yes Calhorn is Truly's crush! Does Truly think that Menzies and Calhorn are dating? Does she think that Menzies could just give up on Mr. Perfect as Truly called him? (McKenzie's crush in Texas.)

I predict that one night Truly is going to feel so guilty that she just spiels all her secrets to Menzies and then they both apologize. And if I am being truthful, that is what I hope happens. They have been best friends since the day Truly was born. (A week after Menczies.)

That's all I have for now hope you like it

BYEEEEEEE

Hi this week I started the next book in The Keeper Of The Lost Cities series which is called, Flashback. So far in the book Sophie and Keefe go to a tribunal to accuse Avalar, Fitz and Biana’s older brother of kidnapping Sophie and Dex and in general being with the Neverseen. Also Avalar has no memory of his past so he doesn’t know why the whole Vacker family is accusing him. So since he doesn’t remember any of the bad things he did, the council chose for him to live with Fitz, Biana, Della and Alden for the next 6 months. 

In my opinion I think that Avalar should have his own house far away from anybody he can hurt. Also if I were the council definitely not let him anywhere that could trigger any spark of a memory because, if he remembers who, what, plans or people in the Neverseen. Also if I were Sophie I wouldn’t try to destroy the real nightfall or the fake just in case there are any signs of plans they were making or experiments they had left by accident and then destroy it instead of the first thing that you do with it after you discover it, destroy it. 

My prediction is that Fitz will try to move in somewhere else or convince his parents that letting Avalar in everglen is an extremely horrible idea. Also I think Fitan will figure out that Sophie figured out how to wake Avalar up and cure him, and I bet that he will be kidnapped by the neverseen and that they will try to kill him again. 

Well that’s all I have for this week’s event’s! I’ll keep you posted! Byeee!...

First Councillor Orlie and Sophie are searching in a memory with Councilor Kenric. The memory was about when Councilor Kenric and Councilor Orlie were fighting about how Orlie was lying to Kenric. Then after that memory played Orlie started to start to cry a little because Kenric was killed in a fire that was started by Fintan and Sophie believed that Orlie and Kenric were secretly in love.Then Fitz reached out to Sophie and said “Sophie you need to come, Keefes awake.”

Sophie was stunned because Keefe was asleep for 4 days and he was going to have a new ability when he would wake up. 

Everybody was crowding around Keefe while Sophie was still with Orlie. Keefe kept saying he was fine but he wasn't. He still had a headache from the battle in Loanmore and he was really pale and he also looked really sick. Keefe then told everybody that he could feel their emotions. Then everybody realized that he was a Polyglot. Then when Sophie came Keefe got so excited that it wasn't safe for Sophie to be near Keefe. Then Keefe got less excited so then Sophie got to go near Keefe. Then Keefe started to realize that he was a Polyglot only because Lady Gisela was. 

I predict  that Keefe and Sophie will get really close. And that Keefe, Sophie and Councilor Orlie and Sophie's friends will figure out what Lady Gisela actually wanted Keefe's legacy to be.   

              I think she is smart because, she knew that her grandma was doing something, but not sure what she was doing.I also think she is shy because, when someone came to play with her she said no. I think her grandma is a little rude because she doesn’t really want to hang out with her.

                                 I can relate cause I’m shy sometimes just like her. I predict she will find out          

                                      Her grandma is saving the world.

                            I hope you enjoyed my read and respond and I will keep you posted

Hi guys, this week’s book is…SISTERS!!

Hope you like it!

Raina is so excited to be a big sister. But when Amara is born, things 

don’t go the way she expected. Amara is cute, but she can be REALLY

ANIOYING

They do not have anything in common. But when their mom brings home a baby 

boy.They know that EVERYTHING is going to change.

Skandar thinks that his element is spirit because his unicorn, Scoundrel's Luck, has the spirit mark (a white stripe across the forehead). I am worried for Skandar because he might get sent home due to the fact that the spirit element is illegal because in the past it had been used in an evil way. Also, he wasn't supposed to be on the island for rider training because he wasn’t allowed to take the test. I think it was not fair that he couldn't take the test. Thankfully he was smuggled in, but he might get sent home for that.

I think that Skandar is clever. One example is that when he hatches Scoundrel and sees the white mark, Skandar acts quickly and rubs ink on the mark to make it look normal. Skandar have a deep connection which started with Scoundrel hatching when Skandar held his hand over the egg, likely because they were similar in many ways. I like Scoundrel because he has a sense of humor. For example, Skandar said he couldn't fly yet because his wings weren't fully developed so Scoundrel sprayed water in Skandar’s eye.

I find it ironic that Skandar's unicorn Scoundrel is friends with Skandar’s archenemy’s unicorn, Red Night's Delight. It makes me curious to see if the riders will eventually become friends. Thanks for reading.

I think that Charlie is brave and has a big heart, because in the tiny bit I read in book three (no spoilers for you) she is kind enough to lend Maria her bracelet for healing powers when she is injured. She also cares a lot about other people.

I had one prediction when I saw Charlie's fathers name on the envelope about it doing something with him, and I kinda got it right. That's it for now, Shawn, out. "Beep, Boop-"

We last left off when everybody watched as Augustus Gloop fell into the chocolate waterfall and started drowning, screaming for somebody to come pull him out. Of course nobody did and he went flying up the pipe and into the chocolate room where Willy Wonka sent Mrs and Mr. Gloop with an Oompa Loompa.

But after that it kept getting worse, Willy Wonka brought all the kids to the inventing room where he showed his latest inventions. He showed everlasting jaw breakers, magic pills to make you fly or grow hair until… they got to the gum, Violet Beauregarde pushed everyone to the side while she walked ahead and grabbed the gum. She chews the gum explaining how marvelous it is when her nose starts to turn violet. After a little she is all swollen up like a giant blue berry staring down at everybody. Moments later a small Oompa Loompa appears beside Mrs. Beauregarde tells her to come to the squeezing room to squeeze the juice out of her so she becomes back to normal.

After that they head over to the nut room, filled with hard working squirrels all cracking nuts. Soon later Veruca Salt screams to her dad “I want that squirrel” In a British accent, the dad has to say yes or Veruca will get really angry. Mr. Salt asks Willy Wonka to buy a squirrel when he unfortunately says no, Veruca climbs the gate, running down the stairs to the squirrels. She picks one up and says “I think I'll have you” As she starts to walk back up the whole parade of squirrels piles over her sending her down into the garbage shoot. Mr. Salt quickly climbs over the fence diving into the hole after Veruca.

Willy Wonka grabs the kids and makes it over to the TV room. In the TV room you can send items through the television to make it smaller and so people all over the world can taste his chocolate. Mike Teavee is shocked at what he has created and thinks Willy Wonka is stupid for only using chocolate for the teleporter and climbs up to the teleporting area, and sends himself through. When he appears he is now very tiny as his dad Mr. Teavee grabs him by the shirt. Another Oompa Loompa walks over and directs Mr. Teavee to the stretching room where he can make Mike taller.

Now it is just Charlie and he starts jumping with joy, realizing that he has won the factory. They get home telling the whole family this exciting news while Willy Wonka stands back inspecting the house. After the family decides they want to go Willy Wonka informs them that only Charlie can come to the factory. Charlie almost immediately declines the offer and watches Willy Wonka and his opportunity walk right out the door.

From then on Charlie and his family have been doing good, and have been feeding Charlie the right way. Now the family is all safe and warm in their house when they don't have to worry about food ever again.

I hope you guys enjoyed this book, and I will definitely read more Roald Dahl books in the future, but for next time I will start a new book called Identikill.

So far I think the book is pretty good, it's basically about a seventh grade kid named Mason that lives in 2023 who gets bullied. His dad had previously left him and his mom so it’s been really hard for them lately. His mom and dad talked on the phone and they thought that it was good for him to go to a therapist, at his first class with his therapist Mason wasn't really open to the therapist. So the therapist (I forget her name) just asked Mason to write a letter to someone he admired, he wrote to Albert Einstein. When he got home, after he had written the letter he thought that it was weird so he just threw it in his closet.

The next day he wanted to rip up the letter, but as he opened the closet door he noticed that there was a different letter there… The letter was from a girl named Talia who also gets bullied, but the thing is, she lives in 1987. In Mason’s letter he mentioned his phone, and an Amazon box. But when Talia read it she didn’t even know what those were, she thought that an Amazon box was a box that came from the Amazon river. But over time as they kept writing to each other they realized that when they put a letter in a certain place in their closet it transfers from 2023 to 1987 or the other way around. They thought of SO many possibilities that were crazy. But we’ll get into that next time.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R.

“I will give you one thousand dollars so you can go to England“  "Actually" Leo said “Yes I will,” his aunt said . Then he thought about it, "Do I want to be by myself in England for a month?”  he thought then he went to his dad and.. 

Leo is similar and different to me, here's one example. Leo loves to play soccer and video games. I love both of them too. Another one is he has one annoying sibling and I have two. Here's how he's different.His mom passed and he has a sister and I don't. He also has a pet Lizard and I have no pets. One prediction I have is He's going to mess up in his Academy.

I think Ben should not really be in spy school because he is only good at math. When he did the test at the start of the book he fails, but he calculates when to drop a book on the test people that were “trying to attack him”. But on the other hand Ben could have potential because is good at math. An example that shows this is he had only a weak paintball gun and Murray was running away. Ben aimed at the roof and calculated some things then shot with his gun and a bunch of snow flew off the roof and landed on him. He got squashed like a piece of squash.

That’s it for this week and I also wonder about how Murray got into spy school? Did he hack into the computer to make him look well? Or maybe he sneaked in? Well that’s for another time. 

Jude is really sad because she has to leave her best friend Fatima back home. She is also upset because her brother left their home to protest against their president. But at the same time, she is a little happy because she figures out that her mom is going to have a baby!

I feel bad for Jude because it must be really hard to move to a new place and learn a new language all at once. I think the story so far is melancholy because good things and bad things are happening all at once.

I hope you enjoyed my R&R!

Bye!

          When Jesse saw Megan hanging out with another girl instead of her she probably felt surprised and sad at the same time. Megan at the time she was fiddling with her band bracelets and the nail polish  bottles. When Jesse asked Megan to do a lemonade stand with her Carly was probably annoyed because she was hanging out with Megan and she didn't want to lose her.But when Jesse told Megan if she wanted to do a lemon and then stand with her curly crossed her arms and said “whatever” and walked out the door.

         Jesse was really happy that Megan said yes to the lemonade stand idea with her so she said to Jesse thanks for doing the lemonade stand with me and Jesse replied are you kidding Carly is such a suck up jerk she just rode by my house and and I told her that that ever might be coming over.And she just walked into the house. Megan said.So I think Megan didn't mean for Carly to come over. Carly just randomly just came to her house because she told her that Evan Might come over soon.          To be continued next week

I think that Lucy is very persistent, smart, and I also think that she is always looking for the bright side. For example, she noticed something strange happening with her computer and this weird noise playing from her speaker, but she didn't think that something bad was happening.

A prediction I have is that someone or something will still follow her and over time she will become more and more suspicious.

I will keep you posted! Bye!

 Here is a little summary of where I'm at in the story. First of all the family did train her to be like that. Second, when I was reading my book then I saw she moved from California to Chicago. You are probably thinking “Why did she do that?” It’s for her dad’s work.  It’s a work trip.

My opinion is that, when she goes to a different school she is gonna make a good sports team. I think the sports team she is playing for is football. You are probably thinking “ She’s a girl, why is she gonna play  football?”. It’s because her family has all boys, and she is a girl. Since her family is all boys that play football. Her parents think it’s right for her to play football.

Another opinion that I have is that maybe when she makes a team with all boys there all gonna be laughing at her because she is a girl. Then when the boys see her play, they are gonna be so surprised. She is gonna say “ I learned it from my older brothers” she has older brothers who are 14 and 16, she is only 12. She is probably the best on her team. She can jump really high, she can run really fast, she can catch the ball really well and many other things.

       Stay tuned for more next week.

This week I continued my book Skandar and the Unicorn Thief by A.F Steadman. Let’s recap: Skandar found out he is an illegal spirit wielder, he is hiding as a water wielder so that he can be trained, but there is a risk that he could get kicked out of school. Also, there is an evil unicorn thief called "The Weaver". He’s been kidnapping  non-riders; I don't know what he is up to, but I know it’s not good. Scoundrel has acted up by taking off when Skandar is about to meet a goal, so Skandar has to use a bit of spirit with the elements (in order to get Scoundrel to listen).

As I predicted, Skandar has become friends with his once archenemy Michael (the rider whose unicorn Skandar's unicorn Scoundrel was friends with). Throughout the story Skandar has been doing riskier things. For example, during a sky battle, he used the spirit element but thankfully they were too high for anyone to notice. Another example is he broke into the spirit prison just to ask some questions about his spirit element. While there he was given the "Book of Spirit" but it fell when flying home, it slipped from his grip and Skandar was only able to keep the piece that ripped off in his hand. However, the words on the page didn’t make any sense until sky battles. The full sentence was: “Spirit unicorns can fully turn into elements.” In sky battles Scoundrel almost fully turned into a fire.

Skandar and his friends are nervous  for the training trial. The training trial is a unicorn race where you can use elements to knock each other out of the sky. The bottom 5 get kicked off the island! Bobby, Skandar’s friend, REALLY wants to win. Skandar also wants to do well because his sister and dad are coming all the way from the mainland to watch.

 I hope that later in the book they find the people that have been kidnapped by The Weaver. I feel really bad for Scoundrel’s blacksmith Jamie, in the middle of the night his friend got kidnapped by The Weaver, they know because he left his mark on the door. I'll share more next time.

Tonight I continued reading this book called The land of stories it is a fantasy book and you are going find how in this R&R why it is a fantasy book and whats it is about.The book is by:CHRIS COFFER I think he is a good author and should keep on writing more books because I have been loving his books and want to read all of them.

Ok lets get talking about the book not the author. There has been a lot of action in this book at the part I am reading so basically the Enchantess returned and freed Rumpelstilskin from prison and made him steal Cinderella's daughter aka princess Hope the baby! And at the meeting how to stop her she came and stole the fairy godmother's soul and put it into a jar. The picture of the next chapter is a lot of people in jars.

My favorite character is Cinderella because  I feel so bad for her and I hope that  Hope is okay and that the Enchantess does anything bad or hurt her. I feel bad for Cindella because her baby was only like a year old and didn’t spend that much time with her and she doesn’t know if she is going to live or die because the Enchantress does a lot of bad things.

My prediction is that the Enchantress is going to steal more souls and put them into more jars and get so many soul and she is going take over the world because that is want she wants to do and she has the best powers and can defeat anyone or anything that tries to come or tries to stop her from taking over the world.

I will keep you posted byy!!

Hi everyone, this week I decided to read the book called IDENTIKILL. Let me tell you what happens.

Chelsea and Angelica were twin sisters for years, always staying close and always playing with each other until Angelica passed away. Ever since then Chelsea could talk to Angelica and even see her, but nobody else could. “Weird right?” Chelsea had promised Angelica to never make any friends so Angelica wouldn't feel left out, but one day that all changed.

It was Chelsea's first day of school and she was nervous but she had Angelica by her side. Right when Chelsea took a step into the school she immediately got tripped by the bully “Riley”. Riley had used to be Chelsea’s friend until Chelsea built up enough courage to tell Riley about how she can talk to Angelica, and how she can see her too. Riley bursted up with laughter and after about a week the wholeeee school heard about these mean rumors Riley said about Chelsea. And now Chelsea doesn't even wanna see Riley’s face.

Back to when Chelsea had just got tripped by Riley almost immediately a new girl named Jannet came over to see how she was. After they both put a few bandaids on the scar Chelsea looked around to see that Angelica wasn’t there. This happened because whenever Chelsea was not focused on Angelica she disappeared, and got sent to “The under world”. In this world Angelica had to wait until Chelsea had thought of her to come back.

Will Angelica get mad at her beloved twin when she comes back? Will Angelica ever come back to the real world? I don't know but we will find out in the next part of “Identikill”.

In A Dog’s Purpose Ellie lives a new life as a bulldog. She is now named Bear and lived with this nice girl but her apartment did not let dogs live there. She had to give her to her mom and the mom treated her very badly. The mom tied her to a post and did not feed her. She was so hungry that she escaped from her jail! When she was free she found Ethan from her previous life. Bear was so happy but Ethen did not know that it was Bailey (the dog that was so good to him all those years ago) and thought it was a stray that just ran into his house (which is still the farm). Then adopted her and he named her buddy because Bear was thumping the floor when he heard the word buddy. Then out of the blue Ethen got married to Hannah, the girl that he loved a long time ago. Then again out of the blue Ethen had had a heart attack and died. I think that this new chapter in the life Buddy has lived is my favorite.

This life is my favorite because of the really sentimental moment when Buddy is like my boy is dying. His last moments are going to be spent with me. That was the most heart warming thing ever thought by an animal. Maybe if we thought a little more like that then we could care for our environment. This would be good for us and our animals (like those dogs that we love).

Another reason that I love this life so much is because of the emotion that the author puts into it, like the world has been dark for years and then the author walks in and the light turns on. This story is so good because of the emotion in it.

The last but not least reason I love this book so much is that the character traits tell a lot of who they are. The hate of Todd the love of Ethen the kindness of Millie. These are the best things in this book. This is why I absolutely love this book.

This is a must read book. It is a little sad but the heartwarming moments make this book so good. I recommend this book to people who love dogs.

This week I started reading Really Truly by Heather Frederick. 

Here is a little summary of what is going on so far. 

Truly's family is having a family reunion. It’s on her mom’s side so there are a LOT of people. Everything is chaos! It all starts during family photos. Even though she is with her best friend Mecenzie (Who is also her cousin.) Truly feels really off. She is just excited to start her summer. She has a lot planned. First her sisters are going to Pumpkin Falls sleep-away camp for a week, and her brothers are going to wrestling camp. So Truly is going to get all the attention. (She never really gets it) She is also going to spend a lot of her time with her friends. She was especially excited to hang out with one of her friends, Calhorn. She might have a little, HUGE crush on him. And she thinks he likes her back. Even though she can’t date yet she still hangs out with him.

I think that Truly is finally getting used to the fact that she lives in Pumpkin Falls. She has new friends, A crush and the PFPE (Pumpkin Falls Privet Eyes.) That is what Truly calls her group of friends because they solve mysteries. Truly is much happier and more fun then she was at the end of last book. Now that she knows that Calhorn and Mecenzie are not dating. I feel bad for Truly because normally the reunion is in Texas where all her family is but this year her mom invited everyone down to Pumpkin Falls. Truly likes to have here big family in Texas. She does not feel as weird when she is in Texas. Her family is half the size of Pumpkin falls! Maybe even the whole! 

I predict that when Truly is having the best summer ever she is also going to find another mystery to solve. I also predict that she and Calhorn are going to somehow find a way closer. I am a bit sad because this is the last book in the series but I am excited to see how it ends! 

That’s all I have 

BYEEEEEEEE

This week i continued reading Karen's Birthday. The book is about a girl named Karen and her little brother Andrew. Karen likes to call herself a two,two because, her and her brother have a step mom, and step dad. Her step dad lives at the little house with her real mom, and her step mom lives at the big house with her real dad. Karen and Andrew only have siblings at her big house. She also has 2 pets at her big house and 3 pets at her small house. But, Karen's birthday is coming up and she wants to have a birthday all together but her parents keep saying no. but in the end she gets to go to the circus with all her family and friends!

I think Karen is a very good beggar. For example, she begged for so long to have a party all together and got what she wanted. I also think Karen is sometimes upset that she can only see one family at a time and not both all together. I can relate to Karen because sometimes I miss my step sister and step brother when they go to north haven. 

I hope you enjoyed my read and respond!  

It is about  a girl named Zara, and for almost her whole life she had been going on bike rides with her friends, everyday after school. Then, one day, Zara came home from her bike ride with her friends, then she locked up, tied her shiny brand new bike, and finished. The next day, Zara goes to school. And then she comes back, and her friends are waiting for her to come with her bike. But then, she realizes that her bike is gone. Zara thinks she’s doomed. 

Then, Zara is scared to tell her parents that she lost her bike because she is scared that she will get into trouble because Zara just got this brand-new bike from a week ago for her birthday. Afterwards, Zara couldn't go on the bike ride because she didn't have her bike, so they CANCELLED their bike ride for today because of that reason. Zara then felt guilty. Because she was the one who cancelled the ride because of her bike. Eventually, Zara tells her mom and her nano (Grandma). Then, her dad comes. Zara also tells him. 

Then, her parents tell Zara that she has to be responsible enough to get ANOTHER bike. At this moment, Zara gets determined  to start a business. But then, Zara wonders, What kind? A 

Then she starts making a list about which business she wants to do. And this is what she makes: Lemonade stand? No, not profitable enough. Selling Painted rocks? Not enough customers. 

Zara’s starting to get discouraged, until she and her friend, Naomi FINALLY come up with a PERFECT idea: The Treasure Wagon, a roving garage sale that unloads knickknacks from The Saleem family. Then something pops up.

That's all for today! I hope you guys enjoyed it! BYEE!!         

Flash back to 1987: to the new girl, Talia, says how did you get this letter into my closet? Taila decides to write back to Mason but Mason lives in New York City, over 300 miles away.

Since people use text and email now, it was exciting to read a book about pen pals who wrote with  pen and paper.

England is very different from America. One example is he's not used to the 5 hour time change and the money is pounds instead of dollars. His dad gave him One Hundred dollars and it's only worth 75.09  pounds. 

Another challenge is that  people from around the world are at the academy and a lot of them are better than him. In the book this guy named Sven is from Denmark and he is way better than Leo. Something that shows that is he scored 4 goals in 2 matches and Leo only got one assist. Leo felt down with himself. 

If I was at a soccer academy in a different country by myself I would feel very sad and lonely. I feel bad for Leo because he is all by himself. The farthest  I was away   from my parents was not even a week so I think Leo is very brave. Also I’ve only been to two countries, let alone not even by myself.

This week I continued the new book I started called, Flashback.

Sophie, Keefe, and Fitz go to the desert where Sophie and Dex got kidnapped. While they are there, Fitz realizes that the group's shadows start to grow and suddenly they are trapped in force fields. They knew… the neverseen was there. And the thing that was making their shadows grow, is the shade they brought with them this time…

In my opinion, I think that Fitz didn’t think when Grizzell told him that they were going to do goblin training to calm down his anger over Alvalar moving back to Everglen. Fitz knew that it was the same desert where Sophie and Dex got kidnapped. And while I was reading this part I made a self to world connection, which is my dad always tells me “think before you speak or and then speak because words can be effective.” I think that Fitz and I have something in common now.

I don’t really have a prediction about what’s going to happen next because the neverseen is so unpredictable so that’s all I have for this week!

Byee…!

Keefe and Elwin went to his house to get away from Sophie. Keefe and his bodyguard Ro were waiting for Dex to come because he was going to try to figure out what Keefe's new superpower because he also had another superpower. 

Meanwhile Sophie and her friends were going to the Neverseen to steal stuff from them. Glimmer told Sophie if  she was angry she should put the stuff on fire. Sophie listened and put it on fire. Afterwards everybody got mad at Sophie because she just startedwar. 

Afterwards Sophie and her friends went to encounter Glimmer because Marella and Linh saw Glimmer release Lady Gisela in the battle in Loanmore. Lady Gisela then came and told them that he has a secret power that no one has. And Sophie believes that Keefe has the power of Lady Gislea. Meanwhile Dex and Keefe figured out that Rex is going to be powerless because Keefe could tell that Rex would be powerless. 

Grady hailed Sophie and said that Keefe ran away. Sophie felt like there was a rock in her throat. Everybody tried finding Keefe in the human world because he said that he was in the human world. 

I predict that Sophie will find Keefe in the human world while there trying to find stellarlune. BYYYY

This week I finished Outside, it’s about a girl who grows up in a warehouse that her parents bought after the, quote on quote, “END OF THE WORLD.” Apparently, all the countries threw away their nuclear weapons to have peace. But, one of the countries took this as an opportunity to take over, and used this satellite to dispense poison onto the rest of the world, and many people died (apparently). So their parents bought an abandoned warehouse, and hid there. I’ll tell you the ultimate twist at the end.

I feel like Razzi is trying to help and keep them safe, because her best friend died not following rules (Razzi is the main character by the way). She respects her elders and is the best behaved child in the refuge (the place they live in). She doesn't pick at her food or complain either. I think she is a great model for all of us. 

It isn’t technically the end but here's the twist anyway… drumroll please… surprise! Surprise! It turns out that all the kids in the refuge have parents who lied to them for years! Because when Razzi gets heart disease, she gets a greyhound heart replacement, and gets memories from him. She longs to explore the real world, but that's when she discovers that she's been lied to. Long story short, she and the other children meet their relatives that thought they were missing, and everything changes…

October 21, 2025

After the dangerous situation with Flo, the instructors talked about the elements. There were 5 elements. Fire, water, earth, air, and finally spirit. But technically only 4 were allowed. Fire, water, earth, and air. Spirit was illegal on the island. Skadar was just as excited as everyone else. But when he realizes that he might be spirit, he is frightened like he just saw a ghost. With help from Flo, Bobby, and Mitchell,his friends, he figured out that he is a spirit element…

My life is better compared to Skandar’s life because I don’t have to worry about serious struggles that Skandar has. For example, last time there was a wild unicorn getting ready to attack! This time it is about thinking that he got chosen for an illegal element. I wonder if Skandar can even have a break. On the other hand Kenna is probably doing her normal schedule. I wonder if Kenna will realize how hard it is for her little brother. This part made me feel excited because of what he will do next. Is he going to use the powerful element to destroy the island? Or is he going to hide the element as best as he can. This is my favorite part of the part I read so far because this makes me feel like I am right next to Skandar. Is he going to be famous because he has a powerful element?

So far what's happening has been pretty overwhelming, for example, since Mason is writing letters to Talia from 2023, and Talia is writing to Mason from 1987, they have so many crazy possibilities. For instance, Talia could bury a gold bar or something in the ground, and Mason could dig it up in 2023. Also they could gamble, Mason could look up the score of the Yankees game in 1987, and Talia could gamble it and win every time. Talia has or should I say had a best friend named Lyra, they would cook together, play dolls, etc. Ever since Lyra joined the cheer team, she made new friends, got more sassy, and got kinda mean.

Mason has really had no friends since he started school, people would bully him, and pick on him. For example this kid named Steele would bully him, and this kid named Caleb was kinda his "Sidekick" they would push him around, slap him, try to pull down his pants, It was really mean. Until one day, when Steele was absent, Caleb went up to Mason and tried to be friends with him. And they're becoming friends, I don't think Mason notices it, but they are really becoming friends. I predict when Steele comes back to school, he will try to bully Mason but Caleb will stand up for Mason or Steele will try to bully Mason and Caleb will stand up for Mason, then Steele will try to bully Caleb. And FAIL… I think he will fail because Caleb will be the bigger person and walk away.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R.

I think Greg is very patient and he is nice only in some parts of the story, but in this story he is very patient. I think this because if my parents forgot my birthday that would be the end of the world. Just kidding. But he sat in the closet for probably over an hour, waiting to surprise himself. I also think that Greg is calm in situations like he just acted like it was a normal day and he did the chores he had to do, but he doesn’t have to do it on his birthday.

Anyway that’s it for this  week and I also wonder if Greg is lucky or unlucky, because they forgot his birthday, but the people online that were blaming mom for forgetting the party somehow found where Greg lives and they all brought him presents. Well that’s a story for another time

I really liked Warriors: The Prophecies Begin, Volume 2 because it was exciting and full of adventure. The story is about cats that live in the forest in different clans. The main cat, Firepaw, used to be a house cat, but now he is part of ThunderClan. I think it’s really cool how the cats have their own rules, leaders, and medicine cats. They even have wars and patrols like real warriors! I liked learning about all the different clans and how they have to fight to survive.

Firepaw is my favorite character because he is brave and kind. Even though some cats don’t trust him since he used to be a kittypet, he never gives up on trying to prove himself. I liked the parts where he helped his friends and tried to do what was right, even when it was hard. The book had some sad parts too, like when cats got hurt or when there were battles. But those moments made the story more interesting and made me want to keep reading to see what would happen next. The drawings in the graphic novel were also really good. They made the cats and the forest look so real, and it helped me understand what was going on.

I think the message of the story is to be loyal, brave, and to never give up on your dreams. Firepaw showed that it doesn’t matter where you come from — you can still be a hero. I also liked how the cats worked together and cared about each other, even when things were tough. This book made me want to read the rest of the series to see what happens to Firepaw and the other cats. I would definitely tell my friends to read it if they like stories about animals, battles, and friendship.

Thank you for reading my R&R!

Hey guys, this week’s book is…. Smile

Let’s start it up

This book is about Family, Friends, Boys…  and Dental Drama. 

In this story the main event is definitely when she is racing her 

friends up to her house but she trips and falls on her face.She knocks out her two front teeth which takes a LONG time to heal.

The next day, after her dentist appointment she gets to go to her favorite toy store and buy something there, since she has a lot more pain ahead of her. Raina's BIG journey includes…. Braces coming on and off constantly, Surgery, Weird headgear, and even a retainer 

with fake teeth attached to it. This story takes us from middle school to high school and lets just say that there was a lot of bumps on the road 

She is driving on.

I feel really bad for Anne because can you imagine if you were SO happy to leave the orphanage and finally have a family? But then you were told that you weren’t wanted because you were a boy? That must be really frustrating. I also think Marilla is being very rude to Anne. Even though Anne isn’t a boy I think that Anne should be able to stay.

One thing I noticed about Anne is that she talks A LOT. She also has a vivid imagination. I think sometimes she might get in trouble for that but not a lot.

Stay tuned for more fun and exciting R&Rs by me!

This week I continued reading Diary Of A Wimpy Kid : PartyPooper By Jeff Kinney.

The book Partypooper is about a Boy named Greg and when Greg has his birthday roll around he struggles to make a wish and usually says whatever pops into his head first. And for greg’s birthday one year he got these closso- men but his mom thought that they made kids feel bad about their bodies and got Greg a normal bob. Greg thought normal bobs where no fun and after a while they started to smell really bad, so Greg gave them to his brother, but then Greg goes to a store and the manager says that the normal bobs are worth loads of money, so Greg goes to his brothers room and finds out all the bobs are ripped apart!

I think Greg doesn’t appreciate what he has until it’s valuable enough. I also think that his brother kinda taught Greg a lesson on not to only like valuable stuff and appreciate what you have. I think Greg needs to learn how to be more like Kek from Home Of The Brave and appreciate what he has more often than be greedy.

I can relate to Greg because sometimes I get clothes or something that I don’t want or something I didn’t get for my birthday or christmas and then I become ungrateful for what I have.

I hope you enjoyed my Read & Respond tonight. I will keep you posted.

I feel bad for Skandar because there was a true song about spirit wielders. A true song is a song that tells the future and the past. It said something bad about spirit wielders. Then some people are blaming things on Skandar. One example is when they had to do the race to see what saddle brand they have. People were dropping out of the sky because of Skandar’s magic.

Also I am curious to see what happened to the wild unicorn. The true song said something about the island’s revenge. So maybe the island will act up until something happens? Maybe the Weaver is behind this? 

I feel as if Bobby Skandar's friend is a bit too arrogant. For example she says:“I'm going to get the best saddle because I won the training trial.”

I’m super ecstatic that Kenna Skandar’s sister is getting her own unicorn! Dorian Manning showed up to the house and told Kenna that she is a spirit wielder, and automatically failed her test. And he is looking for her unicorn. That’s it for this week.

Here is a little summary about where I’m at in my story. One night Brie was sleeping over at her friend's house. Her mom is a scientist and she wanted to try a fact on someone but nobody wanted to test it out. When they were sleeping there mom went to Brie and was about to test it on her but she woke up…

My opinion is that after she wakes she is gonna call her mom. I bet she is never gonna want to sleepover at her friend's house. I think that her mom is gonna pick her up and she is gonna find out what happened at her house. I think when she gets home her mom is gonna ask her to explain.

My last opinion is that she is gonna say “ well I was sleeping and then she had this shot in her hand and when I woke up I saw her with a big needle."”It was so scary.” Brie said…

Stay tuned for more next week.

Hi guys this week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities. Here is a little bit of what has happened so far. 

Ever since Sophie was 5 and she hit her head she could hear peoples thoughts. Now she is 12 and she is super smart. She had never felt like she belonged, not even in her own family. She looked different from her parents and her sister and her and her sister are completely different. But now a boy named Fitz came and he explained that she was a telepath, a really rare tip of an elf. For the first time in her life she finally felt like she belonged. 

In my opinion I think that it is really brave of Sophie to trust Fitz. He comes out of nowhere, shows her this place and tells her about elves and that she is a telepath. It also must be really confusing for her. Her whole life she knew something was off but now that she found out she wants to shut it out. Everything must be so scary and nerve-racking for Sophie. I wonder why she started hearing voices when she was 5 and hit her head? Does that have to do something with it? She is also the youngest telepath ever (or she is told).

I predicted that soon she will leave everything from home and become a full elf and finally feel like she belongs somewhere. I also predicted that she will go on a mission and make more friends. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I will keep you all posted!

BYEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

This week I continued reading I.R.L by Jenny Goebel, here’s a recap from last week and also some new things about it that I read this week. 

If you can remember as Allie was snowshoeing to school she thought that something was following her. Particularly someone. Thai week as she continued to walk to school he noticed a bird hanging from the tree. When she went to the tree to get a better look at the bird she noticed it wasn't just an ordinary bird, it was a dead bird wrapped up in fishnets that people use for fishing. She was very concerned about why the fishnets were there when she lived, nowhere close to water. Enough spoiling, here is what I think of Allie and her personality.

I think that Allie is a very optimistic person. I don't think that she will ever be too negative towards someone. I also think that Allie's parents are very supportive of Allie and her choices.

A prediction I have is that when Allie gets to school something will either go wrong, or something is wrong when she gets there.

I will keep you guys posted, bye!

This week I followed back up on Identikill, and this week gets scary.

Angelica told Chelsea to just give up her and Janette’s friendship, because Angelica thought Janette would be like all the other bullies and make fun of Chelsea for “being able to see Angelica”. For the one billionth time Chelsea refused to turn down Janette and keep their strong friendship with each other. This action made Angelica furious, so it was time to make Chelsea regret all she did.

At the very beginning of the book it tells us that whenever Angelica leaves the house while Chelsea is asleep she starts to feel a tingle in her fingers and as she gets further the pain gets worse. After Angelica does this she gets stronger and starts to become… well human, enough human to even be seen. Angelica had kept walking further each night to get stronger and stronger, so she can totally ruin Chelsea's future.

Whenever Angelica got stronger from walking away Chelsea got weak, Chelsea got so weak she even had trouble getting up the stairs. Janette kept suggesting for Chelsea to stay home and rest, but Chelsea refused every time. While Chelsea was at school Angelica decided to get Chelsea involved with Riley, and see if that would teach Chelsea.

With Angelica’s strength she wrote a mean note to Riley saying “you are super ugly that's why you're a bully” but the worst part was it was in Chelsea’s handwriting! After a miserable day, full of getting beat up Chelsea invited Janette for a sleepover. Angelica got so angry she took her evil pranks to the next level, including Angelica being so strong to the point where she is human and on the other side Chelsea can feel the pain of being… forgotten.

At where I am in this book I can start to see a change in Angelica. I think Angelica is more of a pessimistic person because she is putting Chelsea through pain and she is making her scared from what she is gonna do.

Well that's it for this week but I’ll keep you posted on what happens next in the scary book “Identikill”. 

Tonight I continued reading a book called  Harry Potter by J.K. rowing I am reading the first Harry Potter book of the series.The first book is called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Harry is a wizard but has to live with muggleys because that is the only family he has left because his parents are dead and one of the muggleys the aunt was his mothers sister and she is very rude to Harry and the uncle is even worst. He lived with them until the uncle got so mad that they moved a way where no one could find, but Hogwarts had been seeding letters to Harry and he didn’t answer so when they moved away someone named Hagrid from Howarts to give Harry the letter in person because he didn’t answer in the letter in the mail. He said yes anyways because he wanted to get out of the mess at home later in the book he thinks Howarts is the place he belongs too.

My favorite character is Harry because he is the main character and the story talks mostly about him and I also like his personality because he is optimistic and outgoing for an example later in the book he goes through a real live chess game  and goes under a giant dog to get though a trap door and risks his life to do that and his friends life.

My prediction is that Harry is going to see his life flash before his eyes and is going to get really hurt. He is also gong tobe in the nurse in hogwarts for a little while.His friends are going to be so worried and maybe hurt too because they are going to go though the trap door too.

Thanks for reading my R&R I will keep you posted!

The Sherlock Society by James Ponti

10/27/25-10/31/25

This week I started a new book, The Sherlock Society by James Ponti. This book is so good.  In the book Alex and Zoe Sherlock are tired, bored and sweaty from babysitting and mowing lawns. This summer was going to be different. This summer they will start a club that is called The Sherlock Society where they will solve mysteries. Then all of a sudden  they have their grandpa as the chief of transportation and their mom as their attorney. Then they found themselves in a boat and then BOOM they were in ashes just joking. The bout  exploded and everyone made it out except for Alex and Zoe but they made it out and were flouting in the ocean and were holding onto a mini fridge. The police of Miami rescued them and took them to the police station.  I think that they will get in a lot of trouble

I think that their mom will come and they will get in so much trouble. I think this because of the times that Zoe wanted to go to camp and her parents said no. She wanted to go because her two best friends are going together and there is this girl that is going and is trying to replace her and take her spot as the most popular person in the grade.

Another reason that they will get in a lot of trouble is that they snuck onto a bout whose parents will be ok having their children sneak onto a boat. No one.

The last reason is their grandpa is so cooked because he was the one who got all of them in this mess. The mom is going blistik on their grandpa as soon as they get out of there.

These are the reasons that I think that they are going to get in serious trouble. Thanks for reading my R&R and listening to my Read Me TV! Bye!

So far what's been happening has been pretty weird, for example, in 

1987 at Talia’s school Mr. B the gym teacher won't let Talia try out for the travel baseball team. Devastated, Talia won’t give up, knowing that she would definitely make it. Mr. B kept saying, “Baseball is for boys, you have softball.” Talia just snarled, she wasn't stopping there. She NEEDED more rights. So she wrote a letter to Mason expecting help from him, the letter contained writing on “How is this fair? And “Can you help me find a solution to this?” And Mason did have the solution, in his life in 2023, he searched up on google the legal law and it said that no coach or teacher or any one could prevent a specific gender from playing any sport.

When Talia got the letter, she asked her mom to print out that law because Talia wanted to bring it to Mr. B at school that day. And her mom did just that, after Talia got the paper from her mom she brought it to school. That day at gym she brought the paper to Mr. B, Mr. B got pretty angry, but not enough to “knock his socks off.”

“Why can’t you just play softball!” Mr. B squealed. Talia just stayed silent. “OH FINE! I’ll arrange a private tryout for you!” 

“Yes!” Talia mumbled to herself distantly “I did it!”

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R.

          but Jesse fought back. She said “Well some people skip grades and it's not weird at all.”That's the part when I thought Megan wasn't really acting like a good friend to Jesse. Spoiler alert Megan had an idea that they thought would work to make more money than Evan they would give away something else that came with the lemonade like chips and pretzels. In my opinion I think that would work because then more people would come because there's something to drink and to eat instead of just a drink.

             My prediction for next week is the bug is going to turn places to Evan's perspective and they probably found out about their lemonade trick to get more people to come to theirs so I think they're going to make something better and then they'll start competing and keep on making everything they have better and better than the last. 

My favorite part was when Fireheart was super brave and didn’t give up even when things got really hard. I also liked the drawings because they made the cats look so real, and I could tell how they were feeling. The pictures helped me understand the story better.

I felt sad when some cats got hurt and when Fireheart didn’t know who to trust. But it was also exciting because I wanted to know what would happen next! I think this book shows that being loyal and honest is really important, even when it’s scary.

I would totally recommend this book to my friends because it’s full of adventure and cats! If you like stories about friendship, courage, and mystery, I think that you would love this one just as much as I did!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 stars!!)

Hi, welcome back to Sammy’s R&R! This week I continued Keeper of the Lost Cities, Flashback by Shannon Messenger. Here is a little bit of what the latest plot twists in my book. 

This week Sophie wakes up in Elwin’s office and Tam is there with Alden. The reason Sophie is in Elwin’s office is because, Umber (the neverseen’s shade) penetrated her shadows into Sophie's arm and Tam doesn’t even know why the shadows are different then his because, when Umber was using her shadows she broke all the bones in Sophie's and the shadows started to mix with her blood. 

In my opinion I think Keefe’s behavior has been heteroecious. Here is a quote of what he said, 

“Before, I could see us winning but I can’t anymore.” Keefe admitted. 

He has no hope left. Personally, I agree with Sophie because she is trying to defeat the neverseen by reinforcing all their training and learning some goblin defence strategies and attack skills. 

I predict that Sohpie will go to Foxfire and tell Terigan that she wants to reinforce her telepathy training. I also think that Fitz will tell his body guard for her and Sandor to start to do two hours of goblin training everyday. 

Sophie left the table and went to another one of her friends, Jensi. I think Jensi is really kind because he let Sophie sit next to her when he was not in a good mood. Jensi and Sophie talked about how Jensi might not have an activity. And they also talked about what happened with Sophie and her friends.

Sophie and  Fitz had a lesson together so they had to talk to each other. After Sophie and Fitz made up they were back to being friends. Sophie then went to Tam and Dex to try to find Keefe. They could find Keefe because in the 8th book Tam had to put shadow in himself soLady Gisela could track him. Sophie and some of her friends then found Keefe and the tracker said that he was in London. Sophie then found Keefe and gave him a really big hug. 

After they went back home, Sophie told Keefe that she liked him. Keefe said yes to dating her and they started dating.Then they went to go to Stellarlone. Vespara and Sophie went together because they were teaming up. Sophie found Stellarlone by hearing a tree, if they found the tree it would sound like crying. For Sophie it did so they went inside the tree and Lady Gisela was there. She killed Vespara from her secret ability. Then out of the blue the guy who made Stellarlone was there. That was the end of my book, BYYEE!!!

Hey guys, this week’s book is…. Guts

Hope you like it!

This book is about Family, Friends, Worries, & Bullies. One night Raina and her mom wake up not feeling so well, they try to get back to sleep but they can’t. She didn’t go to school because her stomach

kept hurting, it felt like someone punching her stomach. A couple days later she finally comes back to school and her ups and downs continue,for example….

1. Friends, Enemies, and Frienemies 

2. Classmates thinking 5th grade is

 just one big gross-out contest 

3. Her tummy-trobles

Then it occurs to her that her tummy-trobles aren’t going

anywhere. But that's not all, now all of worries of food, 

school, and changing friends are colliding with her

tummy-trobles.

 Hope you liked it, bye!

I feel bad for Angela because her mother thinks she’s the “perfect child” and makes her dress up and stuff like that. But deep down, after her mother announces her marriage to Dr. Deere (Denton Deere) She starts to resist. Her sister, Turtle, is very different from Angela, she's more of the trouble child and the kind who accepts dares and things like that. There are too many characters for me to all tell my feelings about, so I’ll tell one more, Chris Theodorakis. He’s I think disabled and anything he says comes out like this : Ju - Ju - d - fu - d. (Judge Ford) So I feel bad because he knows something important but nobody can understand.

Thats it for this week, Bye!

This week I continued reading Skandar And The Unicorn Thief by A.F Steadman.

This part was really surprising. The class will pick a quartet, which is their fellow buddies forever. The quartet has to be every element combined (except spirit element which is illegal on the island). All the young students were talking about which quartet they wanted to be in. But Skandar had no one to talk to. He was unpopular at his school and everywhere, so he was just by himself waiting to be the last one getting into a quartet. Plus, he was a deadly spirit element pretending to be a water element. There were lots of good water element people and he was only pretending to be one. But then Bobby asked him to be part of her quartet. Skandar said that he was the worst one out of all the other water element people. But Bobby let him be part of the group even though she knew that he is a spirit element.

I think this is where Skandar is going to enjoy his life because he is making some friends. When he was back at the mainland, no one would even look at him. It was like wearing an invisibility cloak. I think Skandar was very sad because no one listened to his ideas. But he is also happy that he is invisible sometimes because it is better to be invisible than getting bullied. Skandar’s dad is misunderstanding how hard it is for his son to be at school. He thinks his best friend is Owen, the worst bully to Skandar. But on the island there were no bullies because none of them had passed the exam. They needed to pass the exam to go to the island but none of the bullies did.  So Skandar can start a new life there. I think the lesson here is always take advantage of the opportunities you get. If Skandar had said he didn't want to come to the island, he wouldn’t have had a restart. I wonder if the instructors will realize that he is a spirit element, if they did, Skandar might get sent back to his home. That will be a nightmare for Skandar because he will have to face all the trauma, his classmates. Skandar reminds me of the character Alex in Unwanteds, they are both going to a new life away from their real home. I wonder if Skandar will have another traumatic experience on the island like when Alex realized that he was going to die. I predict Skandar will, but this time, not only by himself, but he will probably pull his friends to the drama.

Leo played 6 or 7 matches and then he won the Fifa Tournament, he felt ecstatic. After the tournament  Leo was anxious about whether he was being cut or not. Then he went to bed.

After this part in the book I felt happy for Leo because he got a confidence boost and some friends out of it. Also everyone was cheering Leo's name. He felt really good about himself. I can relate to that because when people are cheering my name when I’m playing soccer I feel so happy. 

Also Leo was really scared if he was going to make the cut or not. I relate to that because in my travel soccer practices I was thinking am I going to make it or not. But in the end I made it and I was happy so I think the same is going to happen to Leo.                       

I think Max is valorous and she has been brave in many situations in the book. The Midknights are also smart like in one part of the story she and the Midknights meet a witch who actually took the good king and trapped him in a castle and then the girl abandoned kid (Millie) uses a wand and defeats the witch. After they find the good king they go back to the city to defeat the bad king. The witch is already there and she and king Gastley were about kill The smart kids( Kevyn) dad when the Midknights defend and win the battle when another person they found on the trip there and he was the one that was supposed to kill Kevyn's dad,  but he saves them and they defeat the evil king and make everything great again.

That’s all for this week and I also wonder why Max always wears a hat, but that’s a story for another time.

This week I have been reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. A lot of people have been reading this series so I decided to try it out! Let’s get started! 

Sophie is a very “unusual” kid. When she was 5, she hit her head! Ever since, she was able to read people's minds! She also is 12 and in TWELFTH GRADE! One day her class visits the zoo. Out of nowhere a boy her age named Fitz randomly comes up to her. At first Sophie is startled but then, something unexpected happens. A noisy class of kindergarteners passes where they are standing. Sophie immediately covers her ears and begins to shake. (Kids' thoughts are VERY loud) But then she realizes that Fitz is covering his ears too! It turns out Sophie is not a human, but a telepathic elf just like Fitz! For the first time Sophie feels a sense of belonging! 

I think Sophie is VERY smart. I mean, not every 12 year old is in twelfth grade! At first, she DID NOT trust Fitz. It also didn’t help that Sophie developed a HUGE crush on him the moment they met. Sophie made Fitz prove that he was telling the truth before she actually trusted him. I also think Sophie was a little scared. How would you feel if you found your whole life was a BIG, FAT, LIE? 

Thanks for reading!

The reason they caught them was because Skandar snuck in as a guard, to check if Kenna was a spirit wielder. But while they were there, a guard pulled him to the arena. In the ring there was a bonded unicorn about to stick its horn through the wild unicorn’s heart! I am curious to see why they are killing the wild unicorns. I think it is because he will lose his spirit element if there are no wild unicorns left. 

 Unfortunately, people are still getting possessed. Since Bobby was possessed, she wouldn’t ride Falcon, her unicorn. Thankfully, she eventually rode when they were circled by wild unicorns. I think that the reason why people are getting possessed has something to do with the elemental disturbances. Skandar thinks he found the wild unicorn that was supposed to be Kenna’s. The reason Skandar thinks that the unicorn is Kenna's is because he keeps on finding her and spirit wielders are closest with wild unicorns.

                      Thanks for reading bye!

I think Lucy is so brave. She saw a tiny old building that was covered in ashes, and she still went in. I could never be able to do that.

A prediction I have is that when and if she sees her new school mates they will either be so kind or they will be very mean to Lucy sense she is the new girl.

That’s it for today but I will keep you posted. Bye!

Sophie figures out that Umber’s shadows are called shadowflux which is a type of shadow that doesn’t respond to regular calls, you have to force it to listen to you. That’s why when Tam checked for shadow vapor, he couldn’t find any of it left, so when he brought his mentor from foxfire, she would feel echoes of shadows in Sophie's arm. Tam was very talented in my opinion to control these types of shadows. 

I also think Tam is courageous because his shade mentor at foxfire asked him if he wanted to learn and study to control shadowflux. And when Tam’s mentor told him to put his hand on Sophie's arm he really tried hard to find the shadowflux and when he did he started to shake. 

My prediction for this week is that Sophies will go to foxfire and everyone is going to pander in the halls talking about her. And everyone is going to be looking at her because the queen of the goblins assigned her four more goblins. 

I’ll keep you updated on my book… Bye!!!

Maisie’s R&R 11/05/25

Welcome back to a another R&R tonight I continued reading a good book named Land of Stories by: Chis Coffer. The Land of Stories the one that I am reading is the second one because I finished the first one.

I part that I am reading Jack and Goldilocks came over to see if the Enchantments  as  getting any betting Red Ridding hood replied “NO what you think have you hear about Fariy Godmother”. They said “no what happened”. “Fariy Godmother got kidnapped by the Enchantment”. Jack and Goldilocks gasped, no one talked then finally Conner got up and got a book of spells he flipped to a page that said The Wand of Wonderment and said “ we need to make this too beat the Enchantment”. Then everyone went silent.

My favorite character is Conner because he had such a great idea. I also like him because his personality because he is outgoing, adventurist and I like how he is up for anything. 

Thanks for reading my R&R I hoped you liked it and I will keep you posted! 

After Skandar realizes that he is a spirit element, he picks his quartet and they will finally start their training. But he pretends to be a “Water element” with the other people who are water because being a spirit element is illegal. 

There is a rumour about the weaver. Every single year there is a cup called the Chaos Cup where the best riders compete. But when the champion Aspen Mathgrath wins, the weaver just steals his unicorn. The weaver is now doing bad things to the island and the mainland. People are going missing from the mainland and the island, and there is proof the weaver has kidnapped them because she is a spirit element. Maybe the weaver is starting an army of people to invade the island. It is even harder for Skandar to be on the island because he is the same element as her. All elements have a sign on their arm and the spirit element is a white spirit sign. 

Skandar's life is getting better because he finds some friends. But the spirit element destroys his good life. He has to worry about his element and also even the weaver. I feel bad for this character because he is still facing all these struggles. If I was a spirit element, I would try to make it disappear and try to be a different element. If there were no friends for Skandar, it would be even harder for him on the island. Back at the mainland, he relied on Kenna to be his hero of the day. But now that Kenna is not here on the island it is really difficult for him. I wish he had his sister with him because she will help him with his trouble with the weaver. 

This is my least favorite part because he is having a hard time. If Skandar can forget about it and think about the good things maybe that will work but I wonder if he is ever going to forget that he is a spirit element. I wonder why Skandar is having such bad luck. First it was his trauma when a unicorn was about to attack, and second he now knows that he is a spirit element. I wonder if there is a real person who has this bad luck. Skandar might be the only one in the universe to be down so much. 

I wonder who the weaver actually is. Is Skandar going to find out? Maybe he will even try to stop her from her evil plan. I predict that Skandar will be down again, but this time he will make his friends down too.

This week I continued reading Land Of Stories Book 1. The book is about a girl named Alex and her brother Connor. Also something tragic happens right before their 11 birthday last year, their dad died in a terrible car accident coming home from work. Their dad worked at a bookstore, and when Alex has a bad day at school she goes to see her dad. And when Connor gets in trouble at school his dad will tell him a story. Alex loves school, and Connor doesn’t. Also Alex is neat, and Coonor isn’t.

I think the accident is really getting to connor because, Connor keeps falling asleep in class. I also think Connor takes longer to let go of things. I also think that Alex can let go of thing easier than Connor. I think that I’m like Connor because, it takes me longer to let go of things. I also think that my brother is like Alex because, he can let go of things easier.

I hope you enjoyed my read and respond!

How could they write a book so quickly?  They used a secret machine to write for them. They inputted how funny it should be, character names, and action. They describe  the  setting to the machine, but  they want to write the ending of the story themselves.

While the machine starts to write, Terry and Andy plan a whole day of fun. In the  first two Treehouse books,  they published the old -fashioned way. This is the first time they have a machine to write it for them. 

Right now in my book Keefe went to the human world because we wanted to figure out what his new ability was, and how to use it.

When he first got into the human world he was in Washington. A girl told him to get plane tickets, he did and he went straight for London. He made it in London and found this old cabin.He went inside and he found a painting that said his name that sounded like his dad’s name. His dad then came and told him that it was him and that he lived in the human world.

His dad then left and he saw Alavar at the library, he and Alavar had a fight, it was about why did Alavar leave?Alvar said that he left because he wasn’t a part of the Neverseen and that he didn’t have his abilities anymore. I feel bad for Alavar because he didn’t really do anything bad. He was just a person in their group. I predict that Keefe will get to know why Alavar doesn’t have his abilities anymore. BYEEE.

Hi everyone this week I finished Identikill, and in this last part Chelsea ends on a bad note.

We last left off where Chelsea invited Jannette over for a sleepover, seems fun but after a little while things start to take a turn. Chelsea and Jannette were totally shocked to see the bully Riley hanging out at the front porch waiting for somebody to answer the door. Once they finally let her in she told both Jannette and Chelsea about how she is scared of Angelica based off of what happened at school. They completely understand what's going on and let her stay for a while until…

Angelica, out of the blue, comes from nowhere, and begins to fight off all three of the girls, so she can finally become a HUMAN! They all fight their hardest, push their limits, but it's no use, Angelica's human-like powers are too strong… she over takes Riley. A bit later Jannette doesn't even know where everybody is, and she thinks it's over for her. Suddenly Chelsea appears, and they both agree that they should just get some good nights sleep. Little does Jannette know, that is not Chelsea, Chelsea is in the under-world with Riley, begging to get out.

Well, that's the end of this story and I think we can all agree that Angelica is a bad person. She's not really letting Chelsea live her life, and have friends of her own. She's just guessing that people will keep making fun of Chelsea because she can see her sister, and I don't think that's true. I will admit the last couple of friends that Chelsea had, have been mean to her for what she can see, and Angelica has warned her a few times, but that doesn't mean she can take her sister's life right?

Keep reading my R&Rs to take a peek on what happens in my next book THE UNDROUNED.

Eloise’s R and R

Hey guys this week I continued reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities. Here is a bit of what went on this week.

Sophie is terrified for midterms. Especially in alchemy, she has no idea what she is doing. And after a LOT of thought Sophie knew she only had one option to find out what she was going to be tested on for midterms. She would have to read her teacher's mind! Sophie did not know if she should do it in the beginning but in the end she did. And she felt so bad that she turned herself in! Nothing horrible happened but she did get detention. After detention one day her alchemy teacher told her what she was going to be tested on. It was NOTHING what Sophie thought she was going to get tested on. It was the easiest thing in the book! After midterms when the parents went in to see if their children passed one of Sophie's friends Keefe can tell what someone is thinking and when he bumped into Sophie's best friend he looked at her and said “Huh, interesting. Luckily in the end she passed and is staying in Foxfire.

I think that Sophie is really brave for turning herself in. I think that it is good that she is so honest. When she broke a rule she wanted to make things right. She felt bad and couldn't sleep. I also think that Sophie is really strong. She had so much pressure on her waiting for midterms. And she tried really hard to make things right. She also studied really hard for midterms. She is a really truly good person/student. 

I predict that Sophie is going to get much better in her school and she is going to get closer and closer with her foster parents. I also predict that she is going to find out what Keefe meant when he went “Huh, interesting.” When he found out Dex’s feelings. 

That’s all I have for now. I will keep you guys posted. Thanks for reading!!!!! 

BYE!!!!!!!! 

They meet a lot of different people along the way, and Norman discovers other forms of music that inspires him. Meanwhile, Molly is baffled at all the colors and music. I think Norman and Molly are very different, when Norman meets some random musicians and people at some strange places, he isn’t scared, while Molly is very cautious and is nervous around strangers. So when Norman meets one of his hero band members, Jaimoe, he wants to take an extra day to listen to music. I think Molly is just too heartbroken and worried to care about the arts, because she wants to get to Barry as quickly as possible. That's it for this week, see ya!

11/3/25-11/7/25

In the Sherlock Society they flash back to when the Sherlock Society (from now on will be known as the SS) is not a society. Zoe asked all the kids that are about to be in the SS come to Zoe and Alex’s house for a snack and a surprise. When they got there Zoe told them about the idea to make the SS a bigger thing than just a club. She wanted to make it a society. They all agreed and Alex spent all his 56 dollars on posters and business cards. Zoe said that he would earn back the money. The first customer was Desperate Dan. When they meet Desperate Dan they soon find out that it was the horrible mom. This was a sneaky and clever trick. I love it!!!!!!

One reason that I think that this is a good trick is that the reason that she pulled the prank was because she was just trying to keep her kids and their friends safe. That is so sweet.

The next reason is because of that it is a good prank. I would love to do that to my brother. Well maybe not him but someone is going to pay today (JK).

The last reason is that all that she did was get mad after she pulled the prank. I would have burst out laughing. Then I would have gotten mad. It was funny, ok. Like chill.

These are the reasons that I think are the base line of the story that has unfolded. Thanks for reading my R&R and watching my RMTV. Bye!!!

Hey guys, this week l started reading The Wild Robot. I started 

reading this book because The Wild Robot is one of my favorite movies. 

The book starts with the author describing the setting and how there is unmerciful weather, like rebellious hurricanes, uncooperative rain, and 

wild wind. A cargo-ship with crates that held robots in each one was sinking.

Everyone heard about it and thought that nothing survived. 

Robot parts were strewn all along the rocky raged shore except for 

one. The robot would’ve remanded silent if it weren't for some curious,

little otters. How will the robot survive, did any other robots survive, and 

will anyone come to help them? All that you can find in next episod.

In The Academy by T.Z. Layton Leo doesn't fully apply himself in soccer and I can relate to this because sometimes I don't try my hardest. Leo made the cut but his coach thinks he can try harder. That's why his coach asked him to take private lessons with Alejandro. Alejandro is one of Leo's friends so without thinking he whispered yes. Then everyone flooded onto the pitch.

Leo does not work to his full potential and it's holding him back from greatness. He almost did not make the cut which would have been bad. Also his dad would have been mad for paying $ 1,100 which is a lot and he would have been made fun of at school so he would be sad. Sometimes I don't play to my full potential and then I feel bad for myself so it's good to try your hardest. 

In my soccer game against Bethel we were losing 0-3. I was very discouraged and a part of me wanted to give up. Then I changed the way I was playing then hit the ball up the field and we scored. After a while we scoured 2 more goals to tie it up and I tried my hardest and it saved my team. I  predict if Leo keeps working hard like me in soccer he will make the team!

I think that Terry is very creative because he was the one that thought of going to the moon and taking professor stupid back and making the machine disappear. On the other hand Andy is a very good writer, but he cannot draw well. Like when they were drawing a rocket ship to go to the moon, Terry made a good dot-to-dot. And Andy could not do it because he never did one. And I also think that Terry is sneaky because when they were on the moon he was telling him that he was his biggest fan and everyone wants him on earth which is a lie. I think that professor stupid has anger problems like he started to get his power when he was little if one of his toys did not work he would make them disappear.

That is all for this week and I think Terry is funny because he has done stuff like when they need to draw the world back Terry sneezes on Andy and gets his spooncil but that is a story for another time.

In my opinion the book is getting really good, let me tell you about it. The first thing that is CRAZY is, MASON MIGHT MOVE TO ATLANTA NEXT WEEK! Here's how it happened, after Mason’s dad left Mason and his mom it’s been really hard for them, but mostly Mason, for example, ever since Mason’s dad left them, he’s had no one. After he left to go to Atlanta for a job, Mason’s mom started drinking more, a lot more, and whenever Mason tries to talk to her, she just dashes to the bathroom and cries. Mason has been furious at his dad ever since, but one day, Mason built up the courage to call him. They had a pretty good conversation, and then another call, this time dad mentioned Mason’s birthday, and he said he was gonna take him to a Yankee game. Mason got super excited and they talked about it the whole call. But when it came time to fly over, a huge thunderstorm struck, so the flight was canceled. The dad was begging all of his friends and family to take him but they all couldn't, so they gave out the tickets. And of course Mason’s bully Steele got them, dad was so sorry to Mason on the phone. Then he said, he found an apartment in Atlanta, and they are gonna move there. I predict that Mason will not want to move there because he will be afraid that he will not get the letters from Talia any more.

About Talia on the other hand, she is doing great! For example, she made the baseball team! She did really well in the tryout!

But there is something else that’s CRAZY, Mason’s dad in 2023, is Talia’s next door neighbor in 1987! They put all the facts together and it made sense!

Also Mason’s dad is on Talia’s baseball team! And in fact, Mason’s dad encouraged Talia when she was up to bat! (I can't find what he said in the book, it’s too hard.)

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R!

So she copies her mom’s signature and done! She had signed up for a camp that she didn't even tell her mom about. Then they make a list about what they should bring to the camp because. Ari decides that she wants to come also with Kaylan.

Then, Kaylan gets a notification on her phone and it’s a notification from Kaylan and Ari’s other best friend. Cami. She was asking Kaylan if she wanted to come to a waterpark with Ari and her. Ari disagrees with Kaylan that she wants to go, because she’s tired. This was because Kaylan BEGED Ari to go to the waterpark with her, but she disagrees. So, Kaylan went without her. Kaylan was upset cuz she didn’t want her BFF to be left out because she was going without her.

Then next thing is, it’s Ari’s first perspective of the book. So, she doesn’t really want to stay home today, so she thinks of going out, instead of staying in her house the rest of her day. So, she heads her way to Bubbie’s and Zeyda’s house. (P.S. which are new people we are meeting right now) So she really hasn’t met Bubbie and Zeyda in quite awhile. Then, they yap.

Next thing is, Kaylan came back from the waterpark, so she also goes to Bubbie’s and Zeyda’s house. Except this is her first time going there, because she met Bubbie at Ari’s bat mitzvah, and they bonded. Then, Kaylan comes over, then they yap. Again, again, and again. Then, they say their goodbyes to Bubbie and Zeyda and off they go. Home.

That’s all for today! Hope you guys enjoyed it! Stay tuned! 

I have some opinions about Norman and Molly, as I continue reading the book, I find more and more examples of Molly being frightened and cautious when they meet strangers, and Norman being more calm (also, if the stranger is a girl, errrrmm, well lets just say that he ummmmmm, lets his guard down). I am not sure which is better for different life situations, but they are both good traits to have, as long as one isn’t valued WAY more than the other. That’s it for this time, I’m OUT-

Hello!

This week I finished reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities: Everblaze by Shannon Messenger. Basically, Sophie was looking through Jolie's diary when she realised something. The pyrokinetic that set off the fire that killed Jolie and was working with the Neverseen was Jolie’s fiance, BRANT!!! Sophie IMMEDIATELY told Grady and they rushed to Brant's home. But when they got there the house was empty. Suddenly Sophie heard Brant’s cold, dark, voice. Immediately they launched into a huge battle. But, when things were getting dark Sophie pressed the panic switch on the ring that Dex gave her. A few seconds later, Dex punched Brant in the face which sent him to the ground. Then, Sophie instructed Dex to take Grady home and rushed to Green Boots Cave where Keefe, Fitz, Sandor, and Biana were hiding. When she got there instantly 2 of the Neverseen grabbed her and shot her with a meddler multiple times. The battle was on. Then they realized that not Keefe's DAD but his MOM was 1 of the leaders of the Neverseen! In the end, there were some gains and some losses. But Sophie knew, it wasn’t over yet.

I think that Sophie is VERY brave. Not every 13 yr old fights a battle AT LEAST twice a week. I also think that all of her friends are brave too. They are risking their lives for their friend which is not something every friend would do. I also feel like Sophie might be a bit sad because  she doesn't want her friends to be risking their lives for her and also because I didn't mention this but the council put something on her head which took away her abilities because she tried to read an ogre's mind and he was the king of the ogres  mind you and she probably shouldn't have done that but still why should the council be taking away her abilities? I mean like that's basically making her talentless which is very very rude because NO ONE wants to be talentless. She's also been a bit annoyed because Vertina, Jolie's old Talking Mirror will not tell her anything about Jolie and how she was connected to the Black Swan but thankfully she told her something which is when she was able to find Jolie's diary and figure out that Brant was the pyrokinetic for the neverseen. Another thing that I have observed is that Sophie is starting to feel like Grady and Edaline are sort of more like her “parents” because she started to call them mom and dad and she hugs them a lot which is something that you probably do a lot with your parents so I feel like she's really embracing that they are her “parents”. But at one point before her meeting at her old house in San Diego when she was a “human” with Mr. Forkle she was thinking that maybe Jolie could be her mom because she was figuring out that Jolie was connected to the Black Swan but luckily Mr. Forkle told her that Jolie was not her mom so she was feeling a bit better because imagine if the people who acted as your parents were actually your grandparents! That would be very very weird.

Thank you for reading my R&R and a very merry christmas/new year/Hanukah!!!

Bye!!!

This week I finished The Hunger Games By Suzanna Collins. The book was SO good, I mean the Hunger Games does have a lot of action so let me tell you all about it…

First, a girl named Katniss, a 14 year old girl and her sister Prim, a 12 year old girl were going to see who was in the Hunger Games. Prim was going to be selected as a person in the Hunger Games, but Katniss wouldn't let that happen. So she volunteered as a tribute to the Hunger Games. First the person she was working with was a guy named Peeta. Katniss and Peeta were together in District 12.

First they had to impress the council, the numbers go from 1 to 12. Katniss saw that they weren't paying attention to her so she shot an arrow to the judges apple that they had in their hands. Then Katniss thought she was going to jail because she did that but it turns out thatshe got an 11 on her score! Then she had to have an interview with a guy named Ceaser. She wore a red dress with actual fire on it! After her turn with the interview it was Peeta's turn. His interview was also good but at the end, he said that he had a crush on Katniss…

Then it was time for the Hunger Games, they were set off to eat, sleep, drink without being hurt. Katniss first made a friend named Rue and they did REALLY well together, they laughed, made plans if they won the Hunger Games, etc. Rue died due to a spear. Then it was all Katniss, but she forgot that you can team up with the other person in your district. So she found Peeta and found out that he was hurt because Cato, another person, hurt him. 

When Katniss and Peeta came back to their base, Katniss had to kiss Peeta to make him stay awake so that she could take care of him. Katniss and Peeta worked together, Katniss was the hunter and Peeta would get the food.  Almost everybody died, except for Cato. 

They killed Cato and they won the Hunger Games, but the council thinks that they cheated… That's all for now byyyeee!!!!!

I’m almost finished with a book called The Land of Stories.The book has a lot of characters, on a mission, throughout different plots.There’s no main character and remembering different characters name is challenging. I think the author’s purpose is to have each character bring different talents to solve problems and to create drama when they fight or argue.

Their mission is to make a wand that is so powerful that it can take down any enemies or powers. They climbed a beanstalk and fought the evil ice queen to create the first wand; the more they added  to the wand, the stronger it became. It even saved the life of one of the characters.

The final chapters have the fairy godmother close the portal so the characters can go home but never return to the magical world.

Thanks for reading my R&R

I overall think that Brie is a very persistent person. She is not afraid to speak her mind and she is also very open minded.

My prediction is that something might go wrong or that something bad will happen. That is it for today, I will keep you posted. Bye!

Dec. 15- Dec. 20

This week I started a new book. Here is the quick summary. The Porch sisters are in a school in Australia for etiquette. They are taking a test that there are three rules to. Number one, don't talk. Number two, eat what is served. Number three, don’t break the glass. Gertrude dropped the glass but the consequences were that they had to go down to the basement that looked like a dungeon. When they were in the “dungeon” Gertrude found an unmarked match box.

The thoughts that I was having when reading this was don't do it, don't light the match but also I thought that the teachers were very strict. These were my thoughts but what I said was a whole lot different then what I thought. What I said was “excess me this is not right”.

The Porch sisters are the type to be wild but in a good way. They never disobeyed the rules and they are very kind. Though people mistake their kindness for weakness and then cross their line and then that is where people think that they are bad people.

This week I started reading my soon to be favorite book. Thank you for reading my R&R and watching my Read Me TV. Merry Christmas!!!!!!! Bye!

Hello! This week I started a book called (Haunt Me), and from the past few books in this series, I know it’s gonna get CREEPY.

The last couple of books I read by the author, K.R. Alexander, every one of the books includes that someone dies or already has died. In this book the main character’s sister died. Her name is Isabella. Ever since Isabella died the main character, (Marie) feels guilty and the only thing she wishes for, is for her sister to come back.

A couple more chapters ahead, her wish comes true… Well, sort of. One of Marie’s friends has this game, where you can talk to spirits. The steps of this game are to place your finger on a plastic circle and ask the spirit questions before a pointer moves to words. After they both ask some questions, Marie starts to feel guilty, and that her sister wont forgive her.

I don’t know how Isabella died, whether Marie was involved with it or if she died on her own, but I think Isabella is WAY overreacting. I can sense that Marie is definitely feeling survivors' guilt, because in a part of this book, Isabella threatens to kill Marie. I also can be sure that Marie is optimistic. She’s always wanting her sister to feel like she can forgive her, and she always wants her sister to feel happy.

On the other hand, I'm not so sure if Isabella is going to turn out pessimistic or optimistic, because I still don’t have enough information to be 100% sure.

That's it for this week’s R&R, and I’ll keep you updated on what happens next in HAUNT ME!

Sophie has finally gotten out of the healing center and is now back at Havenfield. Like I said, before she had four body guards now. Each of them is an Intelligent Species. The first is an ogre, FYI Sandor does not like him, the Flori, Calla’s neece 😭, shes an nome, then the last NEW one, shes a troll and her name is Tarina, and ofcourse we can’t forget about Sandor, the OG! Sophie gets to train now and that’s the thing she loves most right now. Keefe wanted Sophie and Fitz to find the erased memories in Keefe’s mind that Lady Gislea told Gethen erased. Tiergan looked in his mind and the memory wasn’t just erased, it was broken. It’s not like your sanity is broken like Alden's was,it's more like the memory is cracked into pieces, but not completely destroyed. 

In my opinion, I think that Sophie is very outgoing to do training lessons because her left arm is still in a sling. Plus, Tarina’s training lessons are very complicated. Also, I think that Fitz is not going to find out about Avalar's game because I don’t think he’s playing one. Finally, I think that Silveny is obviously hiding something because she keeps on asking if she can come over for a check up, but all the stubborn Alicorn says is, NO VISIT! NO VISIT!

I predict that Sophie will find a way to get to Silveny and try to see Avalar. 

That’s all I have for this week, Byeee!🩵

This week I continued Skandar and the Spirit War. Skandar  and the rest of his quartet kicked themselves out of the Eyrie (riding school). Because of elemental separation. Also the commodore (Rex Manning) is the person who killed the previous commodore. Also he absolutely HATES Skandar.

I am curious about what is going to happen in the book. An example is Rex is attacking the mainland and Skandar has started a rebel army. The reason he has an army is they don’t like Rex Manning. The way that they are protecting the mainland is extinguishing the lack of magic on the mainland. That means Rex's army can’t use that element on the mainland. 

Rex’s army is playing dirty for multiple reasons: the first reason is he is making illegal weapons. Even though he is commodore he is using wild unicorn horns to make swords. That means that all damage is permanent, I think that that is unfair. Rex is blackmailing people so they would be on his side. I just find that cruel. He is kidnapping then torturing people for how they were extinguishing the magic. 

Thanks for reading bye!

 a while after the others left Thomas decided to set off by himself onto the Mysterious Island. So he set off to go explore. He walked down the streets around the corner so a strange man was walking down the street. Timid Thomas   asked Will you tell me who the rainbow woman is. while pointing to a poster on the wall with a red orange purple yellow woman that had been placed on there. The man did not respond because he was quite angry and said you little rascal got out of my way with your cheeky questions.

Then after that Timid Thomas kept walking and  Feeling less Brave. Then he came Upon A worried woman Farther up the street. he said to her do you know who- but then he was cut off by the  woman sh-h-h-h-h!Said the woman the Grim ruler might hear you. Timid Thomas  asked who that was but the word looking woman walked away leaving Thomas alone on the street. My prediction for next week is that Timmy Thomas will find the rainbow women anyway bye guys See you next week 😜

Skandar started his fourth year in his “home,” Eyrie, with his friends. It is not actually a home but a big space for a training ground. Skandar has a unicorn named Scoundrel, and they trained together. Every time the seasons change, the people on the Eyrie and the island go to a festival that matches with the element. For example if it is spring time, they will go to an earth festival and wear green. People are not really excited when their element isn’t featured, but when it is your element they get crazy. The spirit festival used to take place but when that element got banned from the island the spirit festival also got banned. Although spirit is illegal, Skandar managed to get past that law and train. When the earth festival happened it was all normal until Kenna,Skandar’s sister,made all the earth unicorns fall to the ground…

I like how Skandar evolved from a lonely, powerless, and timid boy to someone courageous and brave. I think the reason was that his friends helped him build up his courage through friendship. As I said before, life is better for Skandar because he has friends. Even though there are still people who mess around with Skandar, his friends try to lift his spirit. On its face Skandar is in a difficult position because he has to worry about the Spirit element. I think just having that element is immense pressure because you have to worry if people are going to attack you for it. If I had that element it would be hard to LIVE because of the mean people. That being said, Skandar is also lucky because he got to meet Scoundrel and his first good friends.

When the earth festival went crazy, Skandar had thousands of worries in his head. For example he misses his sister Kenna but after the festival he was wondering why she was attacking people’s unicorns and threatening him. He thought that Kenna didn’t like him any more after this attack. That was the biggest worry that Skandar had because he thinks that family and friends are the most important. Another example is Rex, the bad Commodore, is trying to invade the mainland where his dad lives. Like I said before, Skandar thinks his closest people are the most important, but if his dad lives on the mainland, Skandar doesn’t know what Rex is going to do with the people living there. I think the lesson of this part is to always care for your family like Skandar. I wonder if Skandar will try to stop Rex from attacking the Mainland. Maybe he will even bring his father to the Island where he lives. I think Skandar will even retaliate against Rex. I like this genre because it is creative and takes me to the fictional world where adventure is taking place and makes me imagine what is going on in the part that I am reading.

Sunny Makes A Splash

By: Jennifer L Holm & Mathew Holm

This week I started reading Sunny Makes A Splash by:  Jennifer L Holm & Mathew Holm 

The main part of Sunny Makes A Splash is when her mom asks her to babysit her little brother Teddy, and Teddy is really annoying. Then her friend brian calls and invites her to the club he goes to. Sunny isn’t a member there, because they are saving up for air conditioning. 

Her mom says that Sunny is old enough for a job, and when Sunny was at the club she was getting a soda, right when they called “ Adult swim. " Kids started swarming around for stuff. Sunny jumps over the bar to help Tony who works at the bar.

Afterwards, Tony asks her if she wants to work at the bar. She goes home to ask her mom, at first she wasn’t sure,  but then Sunny told her that her mom told her that she was old enough to get a job. 

Then finally her mom says yes. But Sunny keeps bringing home Tony’s stuff, because she keeps getting dirty at the bar. Her mom thinks this is a sign of love. But Sunny doesn’t understand. 

I can relate to Sunny, because my little brother is annoying sometimes too. And babysitting is just plain HARD! 

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

Once again, Molly is timid and a little scared, but Norman is pretty OK. During dinner, he even takes out his drums and makes a groove! 

I wonder if Molly will ever get brave enough to except that other people who she doesn’t know aren’t all bad guys. Another thing that happened is that Molly feels homesick for the first time on this trip. It seems though that there’s a pattern in the book, pick someone up, get brought somewhere cool, say goodbye, repeat. But thats it for this week, BYE! Beep Boop

In chapters 6-9 of The Wild Robot, Roz cleverly mimics a crab’s sideways scuttle to conquer slick cliffs. She battles thorny forests where roots trip her, and animals flee in terror from noisy intruders. Roz summits the misty mountains for her first awe-inspiring view of the island’s bustling wildlife. At the summit, she turns slowly to see the ocean in all directions. The island’s lush forests and meadows buzzing with wildlife, realizing for the first time she’s stranded alone on this vibrant, living world. 

THE ACADEMY 2 THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

In the Academy 2, Leo goes to a new club and it is way harder than it was in the first book. Brock is there with him and he is his roommate. When Leo did the first combine it was really hard because he wasn't used to being in a professional club. He had to run around the field like 7 times and that made his leg hurt. I relate with this because when I did my first travel practice it was hard because I wasn't used to doing that type of hard work. 

The first book and the second book are different and similar. Here are some differences: The training is way harder and longer and Leo can't do things he did before because Coach Purcell hates him (more on this later). He can’t dribble up with the ball and shoot because when he did that in the middle of a play Coach Purcell blew the whistle and stopped the play and he screamed, “Leo, what are you doing?” He embarrassed him by yelling at him in front of everyone. If I was in that situation I would be so embarrassed and upset. Another thing that's different is that Leo’s teammates are way meaner and better than the people he played with in book 1.   Here’s an example: When Leo was eating lunch the Coach Purcell screamed “5 more minutes” and then after 5 minutes Leo did not read the book so he did not know he had to put on black in the afternoon then he coach saw him and said “40 pushups and to Carolinas” Carolinas is when you have to run around the field can 2 times as fast as you. Leo was devastated because he never had to do this in book 1.  

Here are some similarities. One thing that is similar about book 1 and 2 is he's used to having a dorm and a lunch room in his soccer club. I predict that Leo will do good in soccer then coach Purcell will have a good relationship with Leo.

Week 8

Eloise’s R and R

This week I continued reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Everblaze. So far the book has been filled with exciting adventures and more. Here is a little on what has been happening. 

In the last book Sophie found a rare animal, an alicorn. The alicorn's name is Silveny. Her kidnappers  want Silveny. Silveny has the power to teleport and telepathy. Anyone would want her. The kidnappers put a ogre tracker in Silveny's mane and it has a power that could hurt her. Sophie found it when she visited Silveny and got the dust on her hand. The dust can hurt your skin and there needs to be a special way to take it off. Right now they are with Silveny and they are taking the dust off. You have to melt a layer of your skin to get all of it off, because the dust can sink into your skin. 

I feel really bad for Sophie because right where I left off she was feeling really bad for all her friends because when you are friends with Sophie you get really hurt. She is also really brave; she has special powers that no one else has and everyone expects her to be the best. That is a lot of pressure. She is also really persistent, she barely slept for weeks but she still works her hardest in school and for saving the elven world. She is also scared. I would be to, her kidnappers are still out there and with a full on body guard it just makes her stand out. She can also feel Silveny's feelings and it is not like those are calm either. 

That is all I have for now! I hope you liked it!

Byeeeeee❤

So the story is basically about these two sisters; Maria, and Isabella (also best friends.) But one day Isabella dies, Maria is SO sad because for one, her sister died, but also, the death was somehow Maria’s fault. But this was all months ago, so they surely have moved on right? NO, everyone in the family (Mom, Dad, and Maria) took a big scar from the death of Isabella. For instance, Mom and Dad used to always clean the kitchen together with blasting music, singing and dancing, but now, Dad rarely comes out of his room from watching TV. 

One night, months after Isabella’s death, Maria and her two best friends (Tara and Lauren) had a slumber party/sleepover, everything was going normal; lots of hot chocolate, telling each other crushes, board games, until Tara decided to bring out an oracle board (Game to talk to spirits) Maria and Lauren were both hesitant at first, but they eventually gave in. After a bit, Lauren gave up and went to bed, but Maria and Tara kept playing. And eventually, they got in contact with a spirit that claimed to be Isabella.

They talked for a while until Maria said “I wish you were here” and the response back was “I can be” and then Isabella said, (guides the letters on the oracle board) “Invite me in.” and according to Tara that next morning, only the evil ghosts need to be invited in… and when Tara goes to the bathroom Maria invites Isabella in. And according to Tara that next morning, if you invite an evil ghost in, you will be haunted, and sometimes killed. But the thing is, Tara doesn’t know that Isabella is invited in. 

That night Maria has a dream, the dream is about her and Isabella having fun in their basement, but soon it shifts smoothly into Isabella choking Maria and saying the same words; that she wants Maria to feel scared, that she wants Maria to not breathe, suffocate. 

And that morning, the basement door slammed shut on the girls. That morning, a stuffed rabbit head came alive and got red eyes, then went back to normal. That morning, Maria creeped into Isabella’s room, then a bunch of creepy dolls came alive and said that Maria will pay, then went back to normal. That morning, Maria smelled Isabella’s old shampoo breeze by. 

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s R&R…

I think that Ivan is very optimistic and also chill. In one part of the story Ivan gets a new T.V, but sometimes people don't turn it on for him. Ivan however does not get and just sits. I also think that Ivan feels a lot of empathy for other people. He is always noticing people's mood changing throughout the day. At one point in the story he noticed that Stella is always feeling sad, because she knew everything that was going to happen. He also noticed that Bob is always happy and life could not be any better for him.

That is it for this week and I also think Ivan is funny because when he was at Mack’s house. The wife was painting still life, so when nobody was watching he ate all the frosting on a cake! Well that is all for this week, goodbye.

Last night I finished a book called Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega. The main topic about Frizzy is her hair. The main topic is her hair because it's curly and it gets Frizzy.

The book Frizzy is about going to the hair salon. She hates going to the salon because it hurts. Once there was a special Quince she had to look all fancy so she got her hair straightened. Her mom didn’t want her to dance because that would ruin her hair, but she didn’t listen so she did it and her hair got all messed up. When her hair was like that she made fun of her family and her mom also yelled at her. She got so sad so she ran to the closet to hide her Frizzy hair and in the closet a family member also got Frizzy hair so she also went in there to hide her hair so they calmed her and another down and they both stopped crying.

A character that I don't like is Mama. I don’t like Mama because she doesn’t like her daughter's hair. Mama also makes her change herself. 

You should always be yourself!

Byee guys keep you posted!

Clifhangers, clifhangers, clifhangers. That's all Keeper Of The Lost Cities: Lodestar is. But don’t worry, I’m gonna tell you EVERYTHING.

While Sophie, Oralie, and Sandor were at the Lumenairia prison, a bunch of “rouge ogres" (according to King Dimitar) attacked Havenfield. And the results were not pretty. Grady's bodyguard, Brielle died and Lady Cadence and Cadoc were badly injured. Also, before that, Biana discovered that Squall, one of the members of The Collective, is Juline Kesler, Dex’s mom at a sleepover in Rimeshire. 

I feel like slowly everyone is forming a grudge on Keefe, especially Grady and Fitz. I think that Grady thinks that Keefe is becoming a bad influence on Sophie because Keefe joined the Neverseen.  But Sophie isn't holding a grudge because Sophie thinks that  hopefully  Keefe will be able to come back soon. But from what I've read so far  it doesn't seem like he's going to be coming back any time soon.

Hope you enjoyed my R&R!!!   

Eloise’s R and R

This week I continued reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. Here is a little recap on what I have been reading. 

Sophie was looking through Jolie’s stuff. She thought and is still thinking that she was in the black swan. Looking through her stuff was her trying to find clues. Then Edaline walked in and asked her what she was doing. Sophie stuttered before answering. She said that she was looking for Jolie's elite Foxfire uniforms. Just with that  Edaline started helping, they went into her office because that is where stuff goes to “die”. While all of this is happening Grady is off on an important unknown mission. He has not been home for a few days and Ebaline just keeps telling Sophie not to worry. Sophie thinks she hears that a lot and she does. While they are searching Grady comes back, he has a bunch of cuts, bruises and leaves in his hair. Finally Grady gives in and tells them that Elves have gone missing. It has been going on for months and they have just not noticed. That evening Sophie goes to bed with a lot on her mind. 

I think Sophie needs to calm down and worry about school. Instead she is worrying about saving the elven world and that is a lot for a 13 year old girl. She stresses too much and it makes her have nightmares. And that makes her not get a lot of sleep and that makes her worry more. It is all about the mindset and she does not get that. She is also really persistent because no matter what she always goes to school, no matter how tired she is. She is also really brave because in the last book she faced her fear just so she could get in contact with the only people who know her better than she knows herself. 

That is all I have this week! I hope you like it!!!

Byeeeee❤❤❤

Jan. 5 - Jan 9

This week I started to read the book A Queen’s Game. Book’s like this one  are hard to come by because this book in particular is a three part story where it introduces our main characters Alix of Hesse, Helene D’Orleans, andMay of Teck. In this RMTV and R&R I will talk about one of their traits about these three charters.

The first one will be May of Teck; her trait is closed-off. Almost like she is over protective of herself. She is closed- off to other people because the government in England thought that her family was a threat to the throne from their history. The government ordered them to leave England. Her family moved to France. May’s father and mother are in a difficult situation with each other. Her father is staying out late and her mother is almost always  yelling. May’s life was affected by the government in England. This is a cause and effect story that ended up with May becoming closed off to her family and friends.

Alix of Hesse’s trait is eagerness. She will do anything in her power to get seen. Shattering a glass, gasping, and even falling over. When she does this most eyes turn but not all. She is craving to be seen like a child craving chocolate. When she has no eyes on her she will do these three things. It will have a big impact on her social life in a very negative way. Though the show must go on just like Alix’s life.

Helene D’Orleans, has a kind heart and will follow the golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated. Kindness and care is her life motto. Which to me is the thing we need most in the world. If you are in the area where you can see Helene you will feel that vibe radiating off of Helene and into you.

These three people have good traits and some bad ones too. Though if they know it or not that will soon change. Thank you for reading my R&R and watching my RMTV. Bye!! :)

I think that Brie is very selfless and that through the night she will keep putting the other girls' needs in front of hers.

My prediction is that the girls won't come back before their curfew and/or something bad will happen. 

I will keep you posted, bye!

This week I'm reading The Academy 2 The Journey Continues. Today, I'm going to be talking about pursuing your dreams even when it's hard and the sacrifices you have to make if you want to be the best at something.

Leo is having a hard time adjusting to his new team. He's having a hard time because his new coach is a lot harder than his last coach. His coach hates him. Some people on the team are mean to him, like Logan, who is the coach’s favorite and this is bad for Leo because Logan bullies him and the coach doesn't care. 

Leo's also having a difficult time making friends, because this is a new club. He has one friend, named Brock. Brock used to bully Leo, but now they're good friends. This happened after Leo and Brock had a 1v1 match. Leo challenged Brock to the match. If Leo won, Brock had to stop bullying him, but if Brock won Leo had to quit the team. Leo won and Brock and him became good friends.

In conclusion you should never give a challenge that is brought to you, Just like what Leo did and now he's there today.

In CAMP these girls named Olive and Willow are going to sleep away camp. So when she gets there (Oh, and Olive and Willow are BFFs)the two girls do everything together. I mean they bunk together, they take care of each other together, and like when they were picking the activities they wanted to do, they chose the same ones as each other.

I’m just at the part where Maria is feeling TONS of survivor guilt. Maria isn’t sure if this “thing” that she “invited in” with the oracle board is a demon or just her actual sister being really critical. What I mean about when Maria invited this thing in, is when she was using this oracle board to talk to her dead sister Issabella. All Maria had to do was just say “ok, I invite you in” and then her house just started to be haunted.

Did I forget to mention that Maria’s parents have become WAY more pessimistic after Issabella died. After Issabella died, it always felt like a part of their family was missing, for instance, Maria’s mom and dad don’t do all the fun stuff like they used to do, text evidence from the book that shows that is when they used to blast music in the kitchen while cleaning. Now, Maria’s dad just sits in his office all day, and Maria’s mom still cleans, but without being happy and blasting music. It’s also the same thing with Maria, when she remembers the places that she and Isabella hung out.

We also learned that only bad spirits need/want to be invited in. I think when you invite a demon/ghost in, they can move stuff around and have an actual presence. I’m not totally sure if that's the case, but it’s a high possibility that it is.

That is it for this week's R&R, but I’ll keep you posted on what happens next in HAUNT ME.

Right now in my book, Katniss can't choose between Peeta and Gale. She likes Gale because he's really nice to her, just like Peeta is. Another one is that Gale was friends with her since Katniss was born. And now she and Peeta are REALLY in trouble because they are doing the hunger games AGAin together and there are I think 42 people now playing!

I think Katniss' traits are courageous, encouraging, and optimistic.  When she was courageous was when she played in the hunger games. When she was encouraging was when she encouraged Peetea that he can get through the pain. And when she was optimistic was when she took the hunger games not in a bad way, in a puzzling way.

That's all for this week, byeeeeeee!

Hi guys, I am super excited to share my first R&R of the grand 2026!༼ つ ◕‿◕ ༽つ

This week I started the next book in KOTLC (Keeper of the Lost Cities) Legacy by Shannnon Messenger. The book is so good and I can’t wait to share what’s been going on so let’s start!😁

In my book, the Council decided to make Sophie, Dex, Biana, WIley, and Stina regents but little did they know that they were going to become a team to help the council… When Sophie arrived at the Seat of Eminence, the council told them that they were going to be a team. But seriously, why Stina Heck… Why? Anyways, today was a special day mostly for the councillors. Today was the day when the council took a trip up to space! … well sorta. They go in this fancy elevator that is like a ball that spins so fast that it levitates and there is an illusion that makes you think that you're not spinning. PS if you ever take a ride like this, do not close your eyes. If you do, the illusion will have no effect on you. 

On the ride, the councillor’s have a special type of key that keeps you warm. In my opinion, if you take someone on a ride for the first time and it’s so cold and scary and you have something to help you with that you should probably have one for the other passenger, especially if you're going to freaking space! 

Also here is a bit more of a summary. Sophie is the leader of team Valiet (she named it) and she has a whole new look. Let me tell youabout it.  Since she is a regent, she has to wear a crown. Also a  different cloak pin and a Dire Wolf imprinted on her cloak. Plus she has to dress fancy and all. To get all of this clothing on she had to go to this giant dressing room. Oralie, Bronte, and Sophie all went together. The room was all pink which Bronte did not like at all.

For the first time, Sophie was wearing make up! 💄

And finally my prediction is that Keefe and Sophie are going to find a way to get Bronte with them in a room so she can ask if he is her biological father. 

Well that’s my first R&R of the year! Hope you like it and byeeee!

This week, I read Mixed up. It’s about 3 BFF's that LOVE Witchlin’s and  are going into 5th grade, and their names are  Emiko, Stella, and Latasha. The most excited in the group about their 1st day of school is Stella. They are most happy about how they are all in the same classroom, especially how they heard Mrs. Marin was one of the best teachers in their grade. But when the classwork starts piling up, 

Stella  starts to struggle to stay on top. Stella starts to wonder: why does it take almost FOREVER for me to read?  Then the Witchlin's guidebook comes out, Stella then gets behind in her grades, and almost everything that has to deal with school.  Sooner or later, her teachers and family have noticed that Stella has a Dyslexia diagnosis. She gets a lot of support and tools she needs to succeed.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed it!!!! Stay tuuned!                                                                                                                                                                                          

Christopher is an ordinary kid except animals LOVE him. He thinks it’s normal until he goes to visit his grandpa. Then Christopher finds a baby griffin drowning. The griffin was rescued and his grandpa says animals feel safe near him. Then a girl called Mal comes out of the lake. She comes from the archipelago, a set of magical islands where she is being hunted by a murderer. 

I wonder why the murderer is after her? Maybe he is helping someone to seize power like island magic. I feel like Mal and Christopher will escape the murderer's clutches every time. But why Mal? Does she have something that other people don’t? Possibly an artifact? Or the griffin? Maybe the griffin is the last of his species. But why would they try to murder the owner of the griffin?

Why do animals love Christopher so much? I think it has something to do with the griffin. Do you think that his family are like guardians to the archipelago? Then the animals smell the magic in him then that makes them feel safe. I wonder what is going to happen later in the book.

Thanks for Reading Bye!

Dork Diaries Tales From A Not So Fabulous Life  

By: Rachel Renee Russell

This week I started reading Dork Diaries Tales From A Not So Fabulous Life. The main character Nikki moved to a new school. She isn’t the most popular kid in the school. As a matter of fact she isn’t popular at all. She feels very invisible all the time.

 There are three very popular girls. They are called the CCP group. That stands for: Giggling, Gossiping, and Glossing.The three girls in the CCP are Zoey, Chloe, and Mackenzie.

 Mackenzie is like the Regina George of the school. She is a big deal, makes almost everything about her.  Makes people say crazy things just to sit with her at lunch. Like quite literally, someone said they will pluck their eye out with a pencil, and eat it with a moldy hotdog, and mustard sandwich! 

Mackenzie is also the locker next to Nikki. Mackenzie always takes up Nikki’s space. Mackenzie acts like a movie star. It’s almost like she needs about a billion bodyguards.

Later in the book Nikki’s mom gave her a so-called  “ Surprise. ’’ She was sure her mom had gotten her the automatic popular kid in school item. A phone! Nikki was sure her mom would give her that. But the surprise that Nikki received is an automatic dork detector.

 She got a diary with a pouch that looks like a diaper. Nikki states that this proves her mom is clinically brain dead. 

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

I think that Harry has grit and is very treated badly. I know this because when they figured out that the old lady broke her leg. Dudley starts to “cry” and when his mom hugs him he grins at Harry. Another part that I read was when they were at the reptile zone and Dudley came over, he kicked Harry in the ribs. I also think that Harry has a lot of grit because whenever Harry is being bullied, made fun of etc he moves on and works hard.

This is all for this week and I also wonder why Harry’s parents lied to him and said that his parents died in a car crash when they actually did not. Well that concludes everything BYE!

This week I started reading about a minecraft fantasy series with a main character who never tells his real name and uses his game ID gameknight999 as describing him in the books. The book starts with him in a minecraft server griefing and destroying the hard work people did for his own fun. He also says his his dad likes to make inventions and one is them in the digitilaser. A few minutes later, gameknight accidentally bumps the machine and causes it to activate, pulling him into minecraft. Thats all I read so far. Oh yeah,  he also mentions his sister chloe who is younger than him.

I feel like gameknight is kinda selfish so far because he is destroying all the time and  effort other people spent on building and also killing in game NPCs for fun.

It is pretty cool seeing books based off of Minecraft and hope to keep reading this series because it looks like there’s way more books. That’s it  for this week, Shawn, ou- Beep Boop-

This week I continued to read my very scary book; Haunt me, and it’s been getting creepier and creepier each time I read it.

So basically Maria “invited in” this very ghoulish spirit that claims to be her dead sister; Isabella. Maria doesn't know if this “thing” is Isabella, she even tells herself that it is not because Isabella wouldn't do something like this, but she does know that the spirit is right. For example, this “ghost” says that Maria should have saved Isabella, it also says that Maria would rather save her friend than Isabella. Both of those things were true, and even a tiny bit of the second one. And where I am in the story, Maria is feeling a LOT of survivors' guilt. For instance, Maria even cries out to Isabella squealing that she is very sorry.

In the story, I predict that the spirit that claims to be Isabella, is really not Isabella. In this manner, when the “ghost” showed itself, it indeed looked like Isabella but for a split second, its appearance changed entirely, but only for a millisecond so you could barely see it; her face looked older, more wrinkled. And that paints a picture in my head that an old lady is terrorizing little children, that is messed up.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week’s creepy R&R.

Skandar is now starting his 5th year on the island. But now it is not just usual training at the Eyrie “their home on the island” but a war. Being really young Skandar entered a race called the Chaos Cup. Every summer they have this big race that if they win they could be Commodore “the boss of the island”. Skandar is joining this race because as I said, there is a war. Rex, who was Commodore last time, wanted to invade his home on the mainland. So first he didn’t want him to be Commodore so Skandar joined. 

Rex is the boss of  the Silver Circle, a place where riders with silver unicorns go. Their biggest enemy is Spirit wielders like Skandar. The Silver people have been killing and arresting the spirit people for no reason. Sadly they changed the rule that Spirit is illegal on the island. But somehow Skandar passed that rule. He made a goal that he wanted to bring spirit back to the island. So the war is for the lost spirit wielders who were supposed to be on the island already.

The Chaos Cup was a really twisting part. Skandar had won the Cup with his outstanding magic. But now his best friend Flo, who is silver, told Skandar’s biggest secret to Rex: he is the Weavers' Son. The Weaver was doing terrible things and no one likes her. But when Flo said it, it ruined his victory of being the Chaos champ. The worst thing Skandar thought was the betrayal of Flo more than anything.

Skandar was really affected in a bad way. I feel bad for Skandar because he lost so much. What frustrates me about Skandar is that he should move on and not feel so down. I know that because he was thinking about it for so long about her betrayal. Life is worse for Skandar because not only has he lost his friend, his enemy Rex is putting a lot of pressure on Skandar if they invade the mainland already. The part where he lost his chance of being commodore was really unfair to me. I feel really bad for that because he was working really hard on that goal. That part is my least favorite because he lost things he deserved. The message in this part is always keep going on, even if you are having struggles.

I wonder why Flo betrayed him. She was such a good friend with Skandar but how did she just break it apart in such a short amount of time. I wonder if this horrible betrayal can happen in real life. I think Skandar will change Flo’s mind and be best friends again because he will do anything to get her back. This book is good for me because it makes me shift my feelings.

  In the chapter The Thirteen Candlesticks the author finally reveals the Grim ruler he is the ruler of the  Mystic City everywhere in his Palace was gray and dark just like  the city.  He reveals a portrait of a woman Red, purple, orange, and Yellow. It was Galatea. The Grim ruler brought  out three children. It was The little captain, Marinka,and PodgyThat had been captured by the Grim ruler. The Grim ruler  had the three children hold the 13 candles that were used  for the portrait.

I'd say the  grim ruler was very impatient  and screamed and yelled at everyone and was not a nice person.

The little Captain told the Grim ruler that he knew where Galatea was And he would bring her to him and so the grand ruler set all of them free to go bring Galatea to him. When the little captain With Galatea. but strangely his crew wasn't there with him so that had me thinking maybe  Marinka, Podgy, and Thomas dressed up to be  Galatea.But…You'll find out next week anyway bye 😜

I started a new Magic Tree House book this week about dinosaurs.Jack and Annie the two main characters were playing in Frog Creek and see a treehouse that was never there before. When they get to the top of the treehouse Jack opens a book to where the bookmark is set.Before Jack can say the book is about dinosaurs, Annie shouts, “Look, there's a dinosaur.”

Jack couldn't stop Annie from going down and seeing the dinosaur. When Jack looked down, he noticed the dinosaur was the same kind as in the book: a Pteranodon.When Annie got to the ground, she shouted, “ It's a nice dinosaur and it's fuzzy.”

Jack got the courage to touch the Pteranodon, but then they noticed that there was a mean looking dinosaur watching them.They ran back up into the tree house and Jack opened the Dinosaur book to find a picture of the dinosaur that looks mean. They found out that it was only a plant eating dinosaur, so they went back down and hid behind a bush.

This week I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities: Flashback by Shannon Messenger. I didn’t read that much but there were still some interesting events!🫠

The story starts with Sophie, Ro, Keefe, and Sandor walking towards the tribunal hall. Keefe is being a tease as usual with Ro joining in and Sandor trying to sound tough with his squeaky goblin voice. But then Keefe says that Sophie looks pretty. Sophie starts blushing immediately but tries to hide her feelings because Keefe is an empath! She quickly changes the topic to something else. Why they were here because this was supposed to be an only Vacker thing. They both got invited to give Fitz moral support because when Fitz is mad, he gets MAD.😠

Anyways, the tribunal is being held for Alvar, Fitz and Biana’s brother. But, Sophie and Keefe both think that they should be focusing on Fintan, the Neverseen’s leader. Why? Because Alvar doesn’t remember ANYTHING! And that’s all I read. I bet you guys are all staring at the screen with faces like:😑 or 😠 or even 😭. But don’t worry, you will find out the rest soon!

For now have a great day and stay tuned for more KOTLC! 🥳🫶

So Peeta and Katniss were going to speak to Ceasar, Katniss went first and her dress was smoky, she was so scared, she didn't know what was happening, but then her dress turned into a mocking jay. She knew that Cienna could get into trouble because of the burn. Then it was Peeta's turn. Peeta said that Katniss was pregnant! Which she wasn't so she had to act like she was. So it's over and she's aboutto go into the games, but she sees people hurting Cienna! Katniss thinks he's dead right now. 

I think they shouldn't have hurt Cienna because he didn't even do anything wrong! Like last year at the Hunger Games, she wore a fire dress and he didn't get in trouble, so I don't know why they would do it this time. 

Thats all for this week byeeeeee

Tonight I continued reading a book called Harry Potter the Sorcerer’s Stone ( it’s the first book) by:JK Rowling. Harry Potter is a fantasy book, and Harry Potter is a wizard. You will see why he's a wizard when you read this.

Okay so the book Harry Potter is about how he gets into Hogwarts and got into grifindoor, which is a group. He finds out that there's a sorcerer's stone hidden in the castle and he thinks that a teacher is trying to steal it, so Harry and friends try to save it.

My favorite character is Harry Potter because first of all his the main character but also the adventurous and hes always but to do anything.

by guys I'll keep posted

Jan. 12 - Jan. 16

This week I started a new book. In the book ButterBean pees on the tiles in the hallway. Her owner, Ms. Food, slips and does not get up. Oscar the parrot screeches check her vitals and ButterBean not knowing where they are. She goes in for the nostril lick. Though Walt the cat jumped down from the book shelf and boops Ms. Foot on the nose. 40 times. Then the RED button came out. Walt pressed it with a moment to spare and in came the doctors and nurses. Then soon Ms. Foot was on a stretcher.

ButterBean is self-conched. She wants to be a good dog but can't help being a bad dog. Butterbean is a good dog at heart but sometimes she shows the worst of herself like she didn't purposely hurt Miss foot but it happened anyways. Maybe all of these terrible things that have happened are for a reason. For butter bean life is just great but there's all these bad things that happen to people and dogs and cats and fish and animals in general or we just can't help when they happen but even though we see them we hear them we feel them sometimes there's always loved ones there for us like. Miss foot she loves Butterbean and Walter and Marco and Polo witch comes up later in the book little tiny spoiler alert.They all love her but she just has to learn that they do because before you know that they do you got to go through series of bonding things like you might not know your pet at first but when you work with them you train them and you Bond and you play and you have fun you're being loved. So when you come back to Butterbean's story she is loved though she doesn't think that. butter is a good dog so no matter what no dog is ever bad no animals ever bad it's just how they grow up.

When you think of cats you think of me cats that scratch everything up and one day you find your blinds shredded into pieces. that's not cats though that's your impression of cats. We have this problem humans and all in general have this problem that's assuming the worst then they don't want to do it like a sport they assume oh my God I'm going to die doing this and then they never want to play that sport but it could be really fun and that's what they could have been famous in or that's like all these little setbacks in life are what form Who We Are. Cats are different in a way. For example Walt he's a cat that scratches things up but if it's valuable or something super precious to somebody when it dares touch it. Life is different for Walt; he is open and free minded but contained and sad. He's like humans, he's depressed but he never shows it though from text evidence I can clearly see that he is depressed. If I was misfit I would try to bond more with that cat and make it a prize possession that's not like a trophy pet but kept well and close to your heart, like all of you animals. Like if you have a dog your dog would be an animal that's close to your heart if you've got a cat your cat could be something close to your heart if you have an exotic animal or something just normal anything is totally fine because if they love you and you love them then that's a special bond between you and your animal and you should keep that close because that won't be there forever because people grow up things die it's the way of life. though we can always make the best of it. 

Oscar is a Fearless parrot. He's a parrot that watches TV from the top of the bookshelf. He's a parrot that will become a doctor because he watches so many doctor shows or that's his dream job. That's a good example of following your dreams. Oscar's a parrot but he wants to be a doctor. He's a smart parent that can get out of cage to get on top of the bookshelf to watch TV. He is a parent that can work a remote control. Isn't that crazy that's a good example of taking your dream pursuing it and then coming back and finding a new dream and doing that again and again chill you fulfilled all your dreams Oscar's very first dream was to learn how to open his cage then once you learn that he wanted to watch TV because he saw his foot Always by the couch always looking at the tv. Then he figured out how to  work the remote. He's a parent that takes his dream of being a doctor and pursues it who tries his hardest to make that dream come true even though you would never think of a parrot being a doctor. But years ago you wouldn't have ever thought of AI being possible. So who knows in a few years you might have a doctor parrot. just imagine for 3 seconds but it would be like in the future to have a parrot do the checks like taking your temperature like being your doctor. That is just absurd to me. It must be crazy to just listen to me say it like saying it out loud is absurd. you would never think that life could be so different. People could be nicer or they could be meaner. You could have a human doctor or an animal doctor. You could have your animals start talking to you. That would be nice. Knowing exactly what my animal thought and providing them what they needed when they wanted it. and if animals could talk why couldn't they go to school. Imagine sitting next to your dog learning biology. That could be a children's story The girl and the dog biology version. life could be so different from what we think of it now. imagine your favorite thing puppies in the future think of that for a minute puppies in the future.

In my R&R this week I talked about the future animals being close to your heart and   Butterbean story.   These three animals have pursued major outcomes in their lives and are going to push through and make it to the end and usually in stories there's a happy ending but not always this book could have a happy ending could not but we never know till we try.   Butterbean has to try being a good dog.  Walt has to stop scratching things up.  and Oscar has to keep pursuing his dreams. And as I hope  Miss Foot  gets better and can return to take care of Butterbean Walt and Oscar and their potentially Maybe Marco where Polo or both. so my big thesis statement here. pursue your dreams, be good and have fun. When you do these three things you can almost accomplish anything. You'll have friends, you'll have a fun life and your dreams will come true.  This is a big story for characters in all books  A Life Lesson.  not just characters and books should learn this lesson but people all around the world. Life could be for anybody better.  The ecosystem can be fixed, animal habitats can be restored, people can plant trees to help save animals. They can stop cutting down trees to hurt animals. They can make cities and more forests. This will take time but if everybody pitches in just a little bit we could have this world fixed. The world has holes in it. Live by this theme.

Eloise’s R and R

This week I continued reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities Everblaze by Shannon Messenger. This week continued to be an exciting and overwhelming experience. Let me tell you a bit about what has happened.

Sophie was talking to Vertina, her talking mirror. She said something about Jolie and the Black Swan that caught Sophie's attention. She started thinking “What if Jolie is my mother.” But then she thought, “No, Jolie died 16 years ago and I am only 13.” Before Sophie could get anything else out of Vertina she clicked. Then she started thinking about it. If Jolie is my mom then Edaline and Grady’s granddaughter then Dex is her cousin! All day at school she was trying to avoid him but then at PE he asked her why. She just said she felt like she was sick. When she went to Elwin he said that her cells were really tired. She had not slept in weeks.

I think that Sophie is really confident even though she does not know it. She is healing someone's mind even though everyone is thinking she is really wrong for healing his mind. But it is not her choice. She could have said no but she did it before for no matter how scared she was. I also think she is really brave for doing the healing. It takes a Lot of courage!

That is all I have for this week. I hope you like it!

Byeeeee❤

I think that Bree is very considerate and I also think she is trying her best. She's trying so hard to fit in with the Em’s and I feel like she is still their second option and she isn't that in the group.

My prediction is that over the night Bree will be very excluded and that she will just go will the girls and not be included.

I will keep you posted, Bye!

After he started to get used to the physics and other things in Minecraft like instantaneous healing using food. He eventually finds a village and tries to ransack it but then discovers that the villagers are all pointing at him in shock. Then, one of the villagers starts to TALK! He says Gameknight is the USER-THAT-IS-NOT-A-USER and says all sorts of wacky stuff about a prophecy and how Gameknight will save them all. When suddenly, a voice ran out. “You were the one that killed my wife, I’m gonna kill you!”

Now I feel like Gameknight isn’t as arrogant and selfish because he actually has to survive in the wilderness, and I think it helps him get better but he still isn’t the bravest person ever. Anyways, that’s all I read for now, Shawn, ou- Beep Boop-

In ACT Olive is starting a protest about getting the school to get their students to pay less for field trips. Because she noticed that her friend, Beth, couldn't go on the field trip along with some other kids. Although Olive has her own problems, another one of her friends, Hugh and Willow, Olive thinks Willow likes Hugh. Can you believe it!!

Carter’s behavior frustrates me a lot.  An example is that he is so difficult for the teacher when it comes to attending class on zoom.  He only watches zoom through a split screen so he can watch the cameras that are all around town! I feel as if the teacher is trying his hardest but Carter is just not paying attention. 

The teacher has multiple character traits pulling him in all different directions. Sometimes he’s selfless, stressed, hard working, and lackadaisical. I wonder how the teacher will react to Carter watching the cameras!

Then when Carter is at home he figures out that his crush has a crush on his enemy! Afterwards, he was able to find security cameras and spy on them!  What will happen if they catch him spying? If you ask me, Carter is intelligent but sly at the same time. 

While spying, he saw a suspicious man pacing in front of a shop and staring at the display window. I wonder- who is this man, and what does he want? I think he might rob the store, because there is some pretty expensive stuff there, like a replica of a crown with real jewels! Thanks for reading!

Two weeks ago I started Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and now I'm on chapter 8. Destroy starts when Harry is back at privt drive with his relatives. They are really mean to Harry and do not include him in anything and even forgot his birthday. When Haley was locked in his room one day Dobby a house of came and visited Harry  not to go back to Hogwarts because it was dangerous. 

Later that night when everyone was sleeping held a knock on his window. he looked through the curtains And saw his best friend Ron and his brothers in a flying car. Dobby had taken all of Harry's letters so Harry could not respond. rAnd his brothers came to rescue him when they saw how much of a miserable time he was having. 

 when  it was time to go back to Hogwarts they could not get on Platform 9 and 3/4. when they remembered that Ron's car was able to fly and took the car all the way to Hogwarts.The journey begin as a fun and exciting travel but then turned into a scary disaster. They just made it to hogworts when the crash in to a whomping willow.

If you're wondering about this ghost girl, here's a brief story and description of her. She has black hair, pale skin and she is always holding this old teddy bear. A story that may or may not relate to that girl, is from a long time ago.

Years back, there was a big family with three boys and one girl. They were all looking for a spot to put their house, but couldn’t find any normal spots, so they had to build it over a graveyard even if it meant breaking the law. Some time after the house was built, all of the family besides the dad caught a disease and died, forcing the dad to move away somewhere else. From that day on, no one dared to buy or even go near that haunted house, until Tamal's family came, so that's why I’m predicting that the girl is haunting Tamal's house.

That’s it for this week's R&R, but I’ll see you next time when I discuss Follow Me.

         The Academy 2 The Journey Continues 

Things haven't been going great for Leo. This week, Leo lost against his old team. He was mad about this because he tried out for that team and did not make it. It made it worse that his old friends were playing on the team so he felt really embarrassed to lose against them. They played another home game against Dartmoor FC Hounds. Leo’s team lost 3-0 this also made Leo feel really bad about himself because he was not playing that good.

Also, Leo took a bus to another town with one of his team members then they got to the cage, a messy field mud scattered everywhere, grass not in good condition and they wanted to play with Leo. Something that is bad is there are no fouls unless there's blood. In my opinion I would never play there because I did not want to be getting punched in the face or something. After he played a couple matches he got some bruises and cuts. I think the kids is a bad place to play because after you play three matches only you got bruises and cuts everywhere I would never play there

I hope better things will come to Leo like he will not be playing in the cage anymore. I think that Leo will get good luck in the future and he will have a good time playing with his new club.

This week I continued reading Grounded By Aisha Saeed, Huda Al-Marsashi, and Jamilah Thompkins Bigelow.

It is a story of a kid named Feek who is about to be a teenager in the airport. While he and his sister, Raqi walk around his mom has to take care of his baby. But when he wasn’t paying attention his sister went missing! Now Feek is trying to find her sister in a great rush. If he can’t find her, he will lose the trust of her mom and Raqi…

 I don’t like how he tries to hide that he lost his sister to his mom. I know he wants to be a trustworthy person, but if you try to hide that, that is more not trusting. For example, when his mom texts that if he is okay with his sister, he says he is fine. But his sister missing isn’t really fine. Although he is not trusting, I like that he tries to find it like he lost his suitcase that was a million dollars. This section of the story made me feel that he should have not lost his sister in the first place because he is guilty that he lied to his mom. This was my least favorite part because not just that I am frustrated about Feek, his sister is probably very nervous and scared. I think the lesson in this part of the story is that if you never want to be in trouble, then try hard not to be in trouble. I wonder why his sister just was out of sight when Feek was just looking somewhere else for basically about one second. I think maybe she saw something that catched her eye. I wonder why the author started it out by Raqi getting lost. Maybe it is because it makes the reader want to read more. I think that Feek is going to get in trouble because his mom is probably worried that he has been gone for so long. I was unpleasantly surprised that the author would start out with a child going through such trauma.

This week, I started reading Keeper Of The Lost Cities by. Shannon Messager. It’s about a 12 year old girl named Sophie Foster, and has a secret about how she can read other people’s minds. She also gets a lot of attention in class. People call her a “Know- it- all” because she pays a lot of attention to the articles she reads in class.

Later on, Sophie gets an invitation from Yale. Sophie wants to go, but her parents say no, because they think she's too young to go.  Everything is normal until Sophie meets a boy. Blonde hair, and blue eyes.  His name is Fitz.

1 minute later, kindergarteners are running and screaming through the hall. Since Sophie can read people’s minds, what she hears is loud and pitch singing in her head. Sophie’s head was literally utterly in PAIN. But then Sophie realized she wasn't the ONLY one with loud echoes in her head. She saw Fitz covering his ears and pain too. Soon, the loud screams in her head were gone. Sophie gasped. Could this mean, Fitz had the same ability as Sophie? Well, apparently yes. Fitz said “Are you a telepath?” He questioned. That made Sophie’s head itch. 

All of a sudden, Sophie needed air. Really bad. She bolted through the door stumbling her shaky legs, all the way to the courtyard, to the road. There was a car on the side. Near her, that Sophie didn't see. Then, the car swerved right, missing Sophie a couple  of inches. A bright blue lantern was swinging above her. Then somehow it lifted up, like she had telekinesis. She was pulled away  from the road,  (that was Fitz).

 Later, Sophie found out she was an elf. Sophie didn't believe Fitz at first, but when Fitz showed a crystal pathfinder to Sophie, then was teleported to a Lost city, called Lumenaria, Sophie started to believe him. Then Fitz had to leave, so he was going to leave Sophie alone in Lumenaria.

That’s all for today, hope you guys enjoyed it!!!        

So far something big has happened. Maruca manifested in the latest part I’ve been reading and she is a psionipath, which is someone who can make force fields. Maruca’s talent is surprisingly odd but it is also extremely powerful. She could wrap a force field around Calla’s panakes tree. 

In my opinion, I think that Maruca should have told Sophie about her manifesting and her joining the black swan because if she would have said it earlier, they could have already been ready to do their ambush on the neverseen much sooner. Also Lihn should have told Sophie that she was dating Keefe. 

My prediction is that Sophie will hopefully hail Fitz so he won’t get mad at her and also figure out what the deal with Tam saying that his sister is in danger. 

That’s all I have for this week. I’ll keep you posted. Byeeeee♥

Sideways Stories From Wayside School

Louis Sachar

This week I started reading Sideways Stories From Wayside School Louis Sachar. In the book you get funny mini stories about different kids in the class. So I’m gonna tell you a couple that I’ve read. 

First up is their original teacher Mrs. Gorf. Mrs. Gorf loves apples, in fact she can turn people into apples. To turn someone into an apple she has to wiggle her right ear, then her left one, then stick out her tongue. And poof their an apple. One time she accidentally turned herself into an apple!  

Next up is Mrs. Jewls. There is nothing weird about her; she has just never seen kids as cute as them. When she walked in the room she thought they were monkeys. It took so many kids to convince her that they aren’t monkeys. 

Now let’s talk about Joe. Joe is just like any other kid. Curly brown hair, nice smile, overall a real good kid. There’s just one problem. He can’t count. Yes he can’t count. If someone puts 5 pencils on his desk he’ll count something like this. “ Four, six, one, nine, five. “ Yeah I know it's pretty crazy!

And finally Sharie. Sharie weighs 49 pounds. She wears a big red and blue overcoat with a hood. The overcoat weighs 35 pounds, the red part is 15 pounds, the blue part is 15 pounds, and the hood weighs 5 pounds. She has really really big eyelashes. They weigh a whole pound and a half!

 She sleeps all of the time. One time when she was sleeping she rolled onto Katie's desk then fell out the window! Oh sorry I forgot to mention their classroom is on the 30th floor! Luckily someone caught her before she hit the ground. 

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

I think that Vern always overreacts on everything and I just started this book. He always starts to rage when the littlest things happen. I know this because when Harry got his first mail there was a huge fuss and Vern sent Harry and Dudley upstairs so they could not read it.  Then Vern made an excuse and burned it saying that it was the wrong address. I also think that Dudley is not grateful at all. When Harry got to go to Dudley’s second bedroom Dudley started to get mad and  literally threw his tortoise through the greenhouse. He also has anger issues because when Harry went to his old bedroom, he saw a T.V. that was broken when  Dudley put his leg through when his show was canceled. Also when they were going to the lighthouse Dudley could not play his video games and was hungry, if that was even possible. Everything in Dudley’s life has to be perfect or else everything would be bad.

This is everything that happens in the chapter and  I think Dudley is  very mad at Harry  that he gets all the letters. Well that’s the really end, BYE!

 This week as I was reading my book lots of things happened. One of the things was that as the girls were walking around the park Brie tripped and fell on a crack. She thought the crack was just there, but as she sat up she realized it was there in memory for four kids who had died at the park. That immediately creeped her out. The other things you will have to find out by reading the book yourself.

Overall I think that The Em’s are all very self absorbed girls who only care about themselves and have very big egos. I also think that they are very rude to Brie when she is just doing her best to fit in with them.

My prediction is that the girls will have someone make a way to have Brie feel very left out. Or something really bad will happen.

I will keep you posted, Bye!

Eloise’s R and R

Hey Guys this week I finished Keeper Of The Lost Cities Lodestar by Shannon Messenger. I will give you a little update on what happened.

Keefe was in the Neverseen for most of the book. Everyone except Sophie hated him, even Fitz! But he gave a lot of good advice. Now they know all of the Neverseens hideouts. They even captured 4 of the Neverseens really important people. But during the peace treaty signing they escaped. And Mr. Forkle died! In the end they realized that the Neverseen wasn't going after Edline and Grady but Sophie's human family. Sophie made everyone go to Sophie's old house and no one was there. Or so they thought, out of a closet comes Sophie's younger sister. Sophie also made the elven world erase the memories of her. But they can come back. So the book ends with Sophie's sister saying.

“Sophie”

 I think that Sophie is extremely brave, confident, and does not get embarrassed easily. She walks into danger just so she can save her friends. Everyone is trying to keep her safe but she just ends up almost getting killed. She can walk into any fight and do her best. She always puts everyone else first. And she has gone through many embarrassing experiences and she always finds a way to brush it off her back. 

That is all I have for this week! I hope you liked it!

Byeeee❤

Hi guys! This week I finished Winging It by Megan Wagner Lloyd and Michelle Mee Nutter. Let me give you a quick summary of the book.📚

Winging It is about a girl named Luna Moth. Luna’s mom died when she was little so Luna doesn’t remember alot about her other than that she LOVED nature. But, Luna doesn't. Luna really wants to go on a trip with her friends to Los Angeles. But, when she asks her dad, he says no. Instead he tells Luna that they are going to be moving to Lacey, Virginia to live with Grandma Wright, Luna’s moms mom.🗺

Luna was DEVASTATED. She absolutely DID NOT want to live with Grandma Wright, who she only saw one or twice a year! When Luna arrives at Grandma Wright’s house, she immediately breaks almost all of the rules Grandma Wright gives her, like taking off your shoes inside or using a hand towel to wipe the floor. That’s when Luna realized, life in Lacey, Virginia was completely different than life back home.☹

I think that Grandma Wright was a bit too harsh on Luna. I think this because she’s not used to having kids around for a long time.😔

Thanks for reading!💕      

Tonight I continued reading The Land of Stories by: Chris Colfer. I am on the third book in the series. The book Land of Stories is a fantasy book.

The book is about two kids named Conner and Alex and also there’s two worlds : a magic world and our world, but the kids father was the son of the fairy godmother so that makes the kids fairy. In the second book the world’s portal were closed and Conner who didn’t get the magic so he was on our world, and Alex got the magic so she's on the magic world and became a fairy. 200 years ago mother goose sent an army of five thousand in the portal for 200 years and since the portal has been closed mother goose thought that the army of five thousand couldn’t get in. But the fairy godmother got sick and some of her spells are wearing off so the army of five thousand could still get in  and it has been 200 years. Did I mention the army trying to take over the magic world?

My Favorite character is Mother goose. My favorite character is mother goose because she is so outgoing, and she is always happy, and up to do anything.

BYYY guys I will keep you posted!!!

Feb. 25-Feb. 27

This week I started reading the book The Aftermyth by Tracy Wolff. This book is a must  read. Penelope Weaver is the main character in this story. She has been preparing for her entire life to go to the school called Alexandria's. This school is where kids learn to bring to life Greek gods. For example, Penelope could be placed in a house. These houses are named after the Greek gods like Poseidon, Dimitri, Aphrodite, Aries, and Athena. These are the Greek gods that you could be put in their house.  Right now in the book Penelope and a bunch of other first years are in  one of the buildings  on this very big campus that Alexandria is on. in this building they're doing a coin hunt or sort of like a coin hunt except all the coins are floating in the air and you have to grab them and each one of them has a Greek god on them and if you get and you have to choose which coin you want or which house you want to go to and Penelope for example really wants to go to the house because she thinks she's so smart and is perfect and can solve all the problems by herself. and she always says this is how an Athena girl does it or that an Athena girl can solve her own problems. but at one point and everybody so if you're going to need help it's the way of life that's why you have friends and family to help you. So Penelope climbs onto a bench because she sees a coin floating right by Perseus and if you don't know who Perseus is he is the demigod that chopped off Medusa's head. And when Penelope reaches for the coin the coin zips out of the way and it goes all around Perseus and then Penelope quickly makes a snatch for the coin. and she grabs it but in the process of coin has floated under her bench and somebody Dives under to get the coin gets the coin and then bumps Penelope off of the bench and into somebody's arms. 

This is where I left off and I feel like I've just missed a big part that I forgot to mention. To get to Alexandria's you had to cross over a bridge. Penelope was crossing the bridge Paris ran ahead of her and made it to Alexandra's first and Penelope saw Alexandria's but then it disappeared and the snakes slither down off of the bridge posts and started attacking her. and after that she went through this very very stinky flower field and then she finally made it to Alexandria's then it disappeared again and was a fork in the road. in the fork in the road was three pass one dirt one cobblestone and one gravel she saw a boy down the gravel path even though that these faint little flickers of light started pushing her towards the Cobblestone path she took the gravel one to ask the boy where she was supposed to go next and he said take the Cobblestone path and then you will find Alexandria's then when Penelope looked very very quickly at the Cobblestone path and when she looked back to think the boy he was gone. and before all of this even happens Penelope it's this very very disgusting donut which gives her a passage over the bridge and this bridge is the way that you can get to Alexandria's and if you haven't had a donut you can't cross the bridge and if you can't cross the bridge you can't get to Alexandria's. Penelope and her brother Paris cross the bridge alone because their parents didn't have any of the donuts because Paris ate all  of the donuts. so what I'm thinking about this summary is why didn't you just follow the tiny flickering lights like seriously they're right there telling you where you should go and when you should be there but she just doesn't listen because she's so relying on her own instincts because she's Athena girl but what if she's not like wild thought here but what if she's not in Athena girl. 

Like some people think books work where the hero always wins or the dragon always gets laid but what if there's a book where the main character or the hero or the night or whoever your main character is doesn't win they don't slay the dragon they don't get what they want. It's like to some people kind of like an alternate dimension because they always think that here is going to win no it's going to happen next I don't need to do this I don't need to read this book cuz I know what's going to happen. but what if they were just completely wrong altogether what if The main characters for Flaws could be their weakness but the bad guy or not the main characters treasure so what if she didn't get into the Athena house what if she got into the Zeus house or maybe the Poseidon house cuz that little coin could determine her future. This was my R&R on the aftermath by and before all of this even happens Penelope it's this very very disgusting donut which gives her a passage over the bridge and this bridge is the way that you can get to Alexandria's and if you haven't had a donut you can't cross the bridge and if you can't cross the bridge you can't get to Alexandria's. Penelope and her brother Paris cross the bridge alone because their parents didn't have any of the donuts because Paris ate all Tracy Wolff. I hope you enjoyed it. Bye!

This week I've been reading The Hunger Games, Mocking Jay By Suzanna Collins. And there is a lot of WAR going on right now, so sit back and relax, and let me tell you what's happening. 

Katniss and Gale can't find Peeta because after the last book, Catching Fire, Peeta got captured by the Capitol. Gale and Katniss are fighting with president Snow because he has made the games unfair and is trying to kill everyone on Katniss's side,  like he even just bombed the hospital with people that were hurt.

I think Katniss in this war is feeling confident because she thinks that she is going to win. 

I predict that Katniss’s little sister, Prim, is going to die because she is a NURSE at the hospital and she is there when the bomb is happening. THATS ALL FOR THIS WEEK… BYEEEEEEE

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!

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.

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.

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.

Where I left off in the book the kings and queens of the kingdoms left on a yellow brick road the Alex made to lead them  somewhere safe from the army. 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.

My favorite character is Alex. She is my favorite character because she is the new fairy godmother.Also she is just the main character and she is so chill and kind.

Thanks for reading. I will keep you posted. 

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!💛😉🏰     

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!

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!

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!!!!!

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.

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!❤ 

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❤ 

The little captain and his crew climbed to the Tippity top of the tower and then heard a voice coming from the stairway. It was a wizard named Woe and he want the lighthouse to become higher because the children were his slavse.so he forced the children to build the tower to become taller.

The old man started yelling at them higher and higher but then they managed to quickly get the neversink out of the sandbank but they didn’t sail away because the ruler of the wind and holding the neversink fast.Suddenly the clouds in the sky turned red,yellow,green and blue.and there was also flames to but suddenly from out of the shadows a dwarf appeared with one hand an iron hammer and the other an iron hook.😱find out what happens next week okay bye guy.🤪

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!

 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

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.

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😭)

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!

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!❤

   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!😊

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.  

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!

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.

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!!!

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! 

Byeeee❤

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.

The robber said to the children in the 12th Tower there has been a Sparkly shiny diamond guarded by a giant bullfrog.If they can bring the diamond to him then he would let them have the freedom for working for the wizard.So the children did what anyone would do they would steal the diamond because before this they were fighting on the beach because podgy accused the little captain for it being his fault that they were Weo’s slaves

Also I predicted  the robber will not set them free when he reserves the diamond from the little captain and his crew. But will the children succeed/Find out what happens next week bye guys 😜

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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 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 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!😉🫶

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!

 but then a storm came And the shore current swept them away the dunes became further and farther away. That night Thomas crept  out of the cabin and looked out into the water. You saw a little light. 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 😜

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!

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!!!!❤

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!!!❤

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

Today I continued reading the Land of Stories Beyond the Kingdoms by : Chris Colfer which is the fourth book in the series. The Land of Stories is a fantasy book.

In what I am reading Alex lost her anger and she started attacking the FAIRY COUNCIL.So the fairy council ungodmother HER! So she went up into the sky where the giant's castle is  and Mother Goose was there trying to get her godmother again.Maisie’s R&R 3/18/26

My favorite character is Mother Goose because she is always trying to solve all of the problems. And she is also always trying to look out for Alex and Connor. 

That’s all about my book for now. I will keep you posted!!

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.

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.

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.

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!🫶

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!

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.

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  😜

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!

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 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 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!!!

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?

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!❤

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.  

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.

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!

 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 

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.

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!

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!!!🤪

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!💙

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.

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.😜

 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!

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!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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 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.

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. 

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

April 9, 2026

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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

This was my R&R. Thanks for reading!

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!

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🤪

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!

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

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….

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 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. 

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.

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! 👋

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.

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 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.

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. 

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

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.

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😭!!!

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.

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.
