This will be where you can answer questions and share your thoughts from your book club. I hope that you are excited.

Lets start off by telling me what you think about Sheila, and support what you think with evidence from the book.

Tess Brico

2015-03-04 15:55:17 UTC

I think sheila is insecure and afraid of the world.The evidence for that is she is afraid of dogs, shes afraid of spiders,and shes afraid of swimming because she thinks she will drown.Of course whenever she meets someone she always tries to hide it.

Avery Hammersmith 3/4/15

Sheila is scared. A better way to say that is she is a scared of dogs spiders and drowning{ swimming} and now Moise and her sister are kind of changing that

TIMOTHY

2015-03-04 16:15:57 UTC

I think she is verry scard of evrrything that inclodes: spiderers, dogs, and water.but she is geting braver about water.because of her lessens.

reagan stanley 3-5

I love sheila as a character because

she changes and she can make some relationships

work.

How does Sheila act towards Mouse. Use evidence from the text to support your answer. Is this making you think differently of Sheila?

Avery Hammersmith

2015-03-05 13:44:55 UTC

Tess your is amazing because I was going to write that. Another reason is your's in fancier words

Ella Hart

2015-03-05 13:45:47 UTC

i don't like shiela because she is a scardie cat.

She should not lie to keep friends... Sheila should open up and tell pepole her fears so she can over come them 3-2-15

Tess Brico

2015-03-05 13:45:57 UTC

Thank you so much Avery!!!!!!

Shiela is trying to act all cool when she

is around Mouse.She is not being a really good friend

because she is lieing to her so she is not being,she is being dishonest.

Eva Sloan 3/5/15

2015-03-05 13:49:17 UTC

Sheila is trying to act like she's not

to act scared

Tess Brico 3/5/15

2015-03-05 13:50:06 UTC

Sheila was lying to and still is to mouse.But she is opening up and starting to be more honest.

2015-03-05 13:50:12 UTC

reagan stanley

2015-03-05 13:50:13 UTC

that's harsh

reagan stanley 3-5-1

2015-03-05 17:05:39 UTC

yes. she is getting more confident

Tess Brico

2015-03-05 17:08:53 UTC

I partly agree with you Ella. Sheila is not being the best friend but I still like Sheila as a charecter.

Avery hammersmith 3/5/1

2015-03-05 17:09:09 UTC

Sheila has lied. Plus she has hidden her fear. I think Mouse will find out . She is becoming more of a friend to Mouse so she will maybe tell Mouse she was lie's. One reason she has lied is by saying she is not scared of swimming

reagan stanley 3-5 -15

2015-03-05 17:11:11 UTC

do we all agree that shelia is growing as a character?

Ella Hart

2015-03-05 17:14:58 UTC

Tess she's a good charcter but,she

lies and gets into alout of trouble...

She's very interesting

Avery Hammersmith

2015-03-05 17:20:29 UTC

yes

Tess Brico

2015-03-05 17:21:09 UTC

Yes I agree

Eva Sloan

2015-03-05 17:21:30 UTC

Avery I agree Sheila has lied to hide her

Fear.but mouse will find out

Ella Hart

2015-03-05 17:21:30 UTC

If shiela keeps lying to Mouse

Mouse may find out and,Shiela will

lose her friend so Shielas got to stop lying

Avery Hammersmith

2015-03-06 12:29:52 UTC

Ella, I agree. She has been lying to Mouse but I think Mouse will forgive Sheila because she is very kind if she finds out

Avery

2015-03-06 12:32:43 UTC

Tess you are right. I think Sheila is opening up to her the more to Mouse the more they get to know each other

Avery

2015-03-06 12:39:27 UTC

How do you know that?

Avery

2015-03-06 12:40:10 UTC

Tess I think you are wrong by she is trying to act all cool but she really is not

Tess Bri

2015-03-06 15:52:15 UTC

Avery,sheila is cool she just is scared.

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 15:57:20 UTC

Mouse would be really sad someone

was being dishonest with you I would

not be friends with that person

Avery

2015-03-06 15:59:09 UTC

Maybe you are right

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 15:59:20 UTC

I would like Shiela as a charcter if she wouldn't lie so much...

She is a good charcter intil

you find out she lies in friendships

tim

2015-03-06 16:00:17 UTC

sheila is scard of mouse thinking she is scard of everything but mouse is makeing her get braver like: when she lied to mouse about hives and the water makeing her get a cold.

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 16:02:22 UTC

I think Mouse is Cute and

she is so far a good charcter you never know Mouse could be lying to Sheila... But Mouse is a cool charcter so far...

she could be using Shiela...

Tess Brico

2015-03-06 16:02:34 UTC

I know I am right! Just kidding!

Avery

2015-03-06 16:02:36 UTC

Ella agree with you because I would not want a friend how hid's stuff and most of all lies

Eva S

2015-03-06 16:02:40 UTC

Tess Brico

2015-03-06 16:04:26 UTC

What do you mean by cute Ella?

Aver

2015-03-06 16:04:46 UTC

Ella I do not under stand how she is cute but Mouse dose not lie, But what would she be using her for

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 16:06:17 UTC

She just is cute in her style and

the things she does... so far

you never know she could be acting

to get new friends

Tess Brico

2015-03-06 16:07:24 UTC

Oh ok.

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 16:08:06 UTC

Avery she has a cute personaldy. and she could use

Sheila for anything to get

more popular

just to be mean to Shiela

tim

2015-03-06 16:08:14 UTC

mouse is very nice to sheila but sheila thinks she has to be perfect to stay mouses friend

Avery

2015-03-06 16:09:14 UTC

Ella I think you are wrong because they are on summer break and she is very kind

Tess Brico

2015-03-06 16:09:47 UTC

I doubt mouse is using Sheila.

Ella H

2015-03-06 16:10:15 UTC

Tim you never know Mouse could be using Shiela

we haven't been with Mouse for a long time so

Shiela has to be Careful

tim

2015-03-06 16:11:16 UTC

yes

Tim Gustafson jhon #9

2015-03-06 16:11:37 UTC

Tess Brico

2015-03-06 16:11:46 UTC

You mean the people on the cover?

Tess Bri

2015-03-06 16:15:39 UTC

Ok just checking.

Avery

2015-03-06 16:17:18 UTC

I don't think she has to be perfect to have friends because no one is

Tess

2015-03-06 16:18:04 UTC

Do you want mouse to use Sheila?

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 16:18:46 UTC

True Eva I agree with you

Ella Hart

2015-03-06 16:20:05 UTC

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Avery

2015-03-06 16:20:07 UTC

That is what I said

Tess

2015-03-06 16:20:39 UTC

ooooookkkkk!!!!!!!!!!

Avery

2015-03-09 11:43:22 UTC

Totally not because that would mean my prediction is wrong and that might make Sheila stop growing as a character and she might even stop opening up to people.

Avery

2015-03-09 11:47:07 UTC

I think in the end of the book Sheila won't be a scared to swim and Mouse and Sheila will be friend , But she has to go back to her apartment!!!!!!

reagan stanley

2015-03-09 12:54:48 UTC

I know

reagan

reagan stanley

2015-03-11 12:48:14 UTC

I like sheila a lot more as a character because she has a friend and is taking swimming lessons and I like that because she is scared of swimming and the she just dosent

Mrs. Saunders-3/12/15

lydia_saunders1 — 2015-03-12 12:26:13 UTC

Do you agree with how Sheila is handling her friendship with Mouse or not? Describe how you feel about Sheila lying to be friends with Mouse. Use evidence from the book to support your thinking.

Avery

2015-03-12 12:37:14 UTC

I do not feel good about Sheila lying to Mouse, but the way Mouse act's I think she will for give her because of her character traits I think they will make up and Mouse will not stay mad, but if she dose I have to read the next book

Ella Hart

2015-03-12 12:40:43 UTC

But think if you were Mouse would you forgive Sheila...Also it has not happend yet and it may not even happen Sheila has to learn to be honest she is going to lose alout of friends if she always lies about who she really is

Avery

2015-03-12 12:43:35 UTC

Yes I Ella agree but if she tells her in person they will totally make up.

reagan stanley

2015-03-12 12:47:09 UTC

no because she should not lie to mouse she should tell the truth and mouse should know the real sheila

Ella Hart

2015-03-12 12:48:09 UTC

Avery if you were Mouse and you were being lied to how would you feel... I would not be Sheila's friend if I know I can't trust her... if I was Shiela I would be totally honest with Mouse...Mouse seems like a good person

Avery

2015-03-12 12:49:23 UTC

I agree Reagan. Maybe this book has a moral such as tell the truth.

Tess Brico

2015-03-12 12:51:02 UTC

I do not agree because mouse is getting lied to I would't what somewhone lieing to me.

Avery

2015-03-16 12:30:07 UTC

I would probably be a little mad I would have been happier if she would have told me in person instead of finding out.

Avery

2015-03-16 12:36:50 UTC

Sheila in the last chapter is starting to stop being scared of swimming because of Marty, she should her how to keep her head under water so now she is not as scared, but what is going to happen with MOUSE!

Ella Hart

2015-03-16 12:41:12 UTC

Mouse and Sheila could be friends till

the are teenagers but sooner or later Mouse will find out that Shiela is lieing to her....

AVERY

2015-03-16 12:42:39 UTC

Ella I agree then I would proudly read the next book

Ella Hart

2015-03-16 12:43:17 UTC

Shelias big sister is wanting to take swim lessons because she thinks Marty is SO cute... Sheila is still afraid of other things like dogs and spiders... Sheila can get so silly :)

Avery

2015-03-16 12:46:13 UTC

Sheila has NO little sister, but she does have a big one

Ella Hart

2015-03-16 12:46:36 UTC

I don't like Shiela

any more because she lies alout to Mouse.

Mouse is a sweet great person inside we think

but, she could be lieing to shiela to...

At first I loved Shiela as a charcter but now she lies

and I don't like a lieing charcter

Avery

2015-03-16 12:49:09 UTC

Ella now they are making a slam book and what they have to do is write what they think of each other

Avery

2015-03-17 12:40:51 UTC

I can not wait to see what they write about each other

Mouse

Hair needs washing

Face only mother could love it

Body to many scabs

Brain pretty good

Best thing she can do everything

Worst thing knows it

In General My best friend and lots of fun

This is what Sheila writ about Mouse!!!

reagan stanley

2015-03-17 12:47:01 UTC

sheila and mouse have a great realationship

now and the sleepover helped their

relationship but not so much because they

are fighting

Avery

2015-03-17 12:49:25 UTC

This is what she wrote not me!

Ella Hart

2015-03-17 12:52:06 UTC

Sheila and Mouse are best friends they are getting really close but...

Sheila is becoming more selfish and she is still really afraid of dogs

Avery

2015-03-17 12:52:37 UTC

Ella right now they are fighting and everyone else in the sleepover!!!!

Ella Hart

2015-03-17 12:54:18 UTC

Avery they wore best friend s

Tess Brico

2015-03-17 14:54:26 UTC

Sheila can be VERY silly:)

Ella Hart 3-12-15

2015-03-18 12:32:18 UTC

I think Sheila did the wrong thing she should not lie to a good person like Mouse... if Shiela would have not lied her and Mouse would bereally good friends... thats why I dont like Sheila

Avery

2015-03-18 12:33:25 UTC

Ella were I'm in the book Sheila wrote kind of mean stuff about Mouse { it is up there ]

Ella Hart

2015-03-18 12:35:31 UTC

I agree with you Avery

Ella Hart I a

2015-03-18 12:38:25 UTC

I agree with Reagan

Ella Hart

2015-03-18 12:39:23 UTC

They were best friends till Mouse found out Shiela is a lier

Avery

2015-03-18 12:40:22 UTC

Yes she did and she found out what she thinks of her!!!!!!!

Ella Hart

2015-03-18 12:41:34 UTC

Shiela is being SOOOOOOOOOOOOO

selfish .... I would like to have Mouse as a friend

Avery

2015-03-18 12:43:59 UTC

Ella right now they are making up and kind of forgiving each other

Ella Hart

2015-03-18 12:45:11 UTC

Avery

2015-03-18 12:46:34 UTC

lydia_saunders1 — 2015-03-19 12:33:55 UTC

Would you suggest this book to someone else? Why or why not? Give reasons why you would suggest this book or give reasons why you would not suggest this book to someone. (Make sure you put the date on your original post)

Tess Brico 3-20-15

2015-03-20 12:32:03 UTC

I would not suggest this book because Sheila is a very complex character and that to brings both good and bad things.Plus it leaves you hanging at the end!

Tess the great

2015-03-20 12:42:20 UTC

Sheila might get a puppy!AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Avery 3/23/15

2015-03-23 14:54:23 UTC

I would suggest this book to someone. My reasons are it teaches you to try something new { when it Sheila kind of became not scared of swimming }. Additional it would kind of teach how to find a good friend. Another reason is it is really funny. How she chose stairs over elevator because of the dog and the spider on the roof{ now that was funny ] Lastly I would suggest this is I love the end which was mostly the slam book. { which was funny what happen after words

Avery

2015-03-23 15:06:33 UTC

Tess i do not agree, Sheila an okay character it is good for the reader to have a complex character because it maybe more entertaining to the reader or it might make the reader change there prediction to the right one

Ella Hart

Ella Hart 3-23-15

2015-03-23 15:06:45 UTC

I would suggest this to someone

it is very cool and funny... It teaches you

a life lesson.Its funny to watch Shiela doing

the things she is afraid of...

she this is a very good book...

you should read it

Eva Sloan

2015-03-23 15:14:59 UTC

i think people should read it.

Becuse it teaches you to try

what your scared of (like when shelia swam).

timothy jhon gustafson 3/24/1

2015-03-24 14:50:27 UTC

its not a bad book but its not the best book.but I will sugest this book to read because there's lots of funny sarcasam and jokes. and the marel of the storey is good life lerner.but I dont want to spoil the story for you!

Ella Hart

2015-04-01 18:04:12 UTC

I like her stile

Ella

2015-04-16 14:46:46 UTC

I am sad that this book is over
