If I could tell someone to read this book I would tell them to read it because it is intriguing and it also had an amazing plot that is mixed with cats and science fiction

The major conflict in this book is that Klawde, a complete menace to society is vanished from planet wyzz-kuzz because of his illegal and rude acts to the population of cats. I have never been in a similar situation where im vanished from my planet for doing illegal activities.]]> 2023-03-17 15:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521057636 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521060333 My favorite thing about the book was how the baby sitter, Marge had a very good connection with the 2 kids ( Jemima and Jake) . She always had the kids have lots of fun, would tell them fun stories about her "life" to help expand the kid's imagination. If I had to tell someone to read the book, I will simply tell them that the box is very wholesome, seeing how Marge interacts with the kids, Jemima's perspective of her, how Marge always finds a solution for anything just to see the kids happy. I related a little bit to Jemima since when I was younger my grandma use to be my babysitter and we would have lots of fun, we spent lots of time together, sometimes would not obey my mom's rules ourselves, which is the same thing that Marge sometimes does with the kids. ]]> 2023-03-17 15:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521060333 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521060864 1. My favorite thing about this book was the conflict of the story. This was my favorite thing about this book because this led to a lot of action in scenes, and instead of having a novel to read without much adventure or action, I got to read the opposite of that.
3. If I could tell someone to read this book, it would be because of the twist it takes to a classic story. This is a different version of The Wizard of Oz, and it's interesting to hear a different perspective on someone who is also new to Oz, like Dorothy once was.
4. The major conflict of this book is that Dorothy has turned hungry for power, and she will do anything to take over Oz completely, even if it means doing the most horrible things to people. The main character, Amy, must stop Dorothy from doing so by overthrowing her, so Oz can return to how it was before anyone from the Other World, or Kansas, came.]]> 2023-03-17 15:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521060864 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521061203 1: My favorite aspect of the book was, the fact it was told from 3 P.o.v's, (Leo, Jason and Piper), each part happening after the other but switching narrators. 

2: In a way, I want to relate to Leo, I just want to have a fun time, although I am not as flirtatious as Leo, but I do have the same thought process as Leo. 

4: A major conflict in the book is the first battle in the Grand canyon, after a field trip goes horribly wrong, Coach Hedge (a teacher/leader of the trip) is kidnapped by monsters, a massive fight happens where Jason somehow wins despite having amnesia and a coin sword.  I have never been to wither the grand canyon nor have fought monsters with a sword that came from a magic coin.]]> 2023-03-17 15:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521061203 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521062757 1. The favorite thing i read about the book was near the beginning of her training when Daisy made Colonel Victor laugh, outsmarking Alex by bringing the entire box of toys and items instead of just bringing one.
3. I would tell someone to read this book it would be to sort of understand the thought process of a dog, like sometimes Daisy does some very weird things after a lot of training that make her get called inconsistent, but it was hoping for the better of Colonel Victor.
4. A Major conflict is about the relationships between Victor and his past, Daisy always has to keep an eye on Victor due to sounds that make Victor uncomfortable and remind him of things when he was a soldier.]]> 2023-03-17 15:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521062757 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521062882 1. My favorite part of my book that i read was that a group of people regroup again to solve a large mystery about a museum robbery.
3.If I would suggest the book I read to someone, the person I would suggest it to is Alejandro Delgado.I would suggest the book to him because he likes to read books and likes mysteries.
5. Where the book takes place is in museums.I been similar to in museums but it was about natives.]]> 2023-03-17 15:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521062882 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521063480 Annabelle Clow
1. My favorite thing about this book is that it had an unpredictable plot twist at the end, where a seemingly insignificant character ended up being the cause of most events in the book. 
2. I relate to the main chacracter of the book, because of how she will sometimes neglect her other responsibilities when she is working on something, and will forget to do basic everyday things.
3. If I could tell someone why they should read this book, it would be because of the suspense of it, and how you truly don't know what will happen next (if someone will die or not, if they will be found, etc.).]]> 2023-03-17 15:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521063480 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521063492 1. My favorite thing about the book that I read was how much detail went into the writing. Every feeling, emotion, setting, object and person was described with so much detail.
3. One reason why I would suggest this book to someone else is because of how much content there is in it. There’s barely any moments in the book where it feels like just filler or that a part is just boring. 
4. A conflict that happened in the beginning was Harry and Dudley being attacked by Dementors. Although it didn’t last for long, it really set up new things such as new characters being revealed or secrets being revealed such as Mrs. Figg not only being a kind neighbor.
5. The setting of most of the book is Hogwartz which is a giant castle that is a school for wizards. It has dining halls, many classes, hidden passages, living areas and much more. ]]> 2023-03-17 15:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521063492 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521063542 If I could tell anyone to read this book the reason would be that it has a lot of mysterious after you finish one chapter you get that sensation to continue reading since it might of left you in a cliff hanger.
The setting of the book is hogwarts the school of wizards and magic since that was basically where the triwizzard tournament takes place and that was the main location where all the 3 challenges 
took place.
The major conflict in the story was that someone put Harry's name in the cup which was something that was not supposed to happen since the tournament was only for students that were 17-18 and up but harry was a minor this lead to different effects on harry like his friends being mad at him,people thinking he is doing all this for fame and having to face different challenges where there was a high risk of him dying.]]> 2023-03-17 15:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521063542 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521064218 1. One of my favorite things about the book is how the main character Jordan has a rivalry with his teacher who always tries to fail hi on everything. I like this because instead of being a book about a kid trying to make it through school, it has bullies or enemies just like his teacher Ms. Fisher.

2. I dont really relate to this book because the teachers dont hate me to the point where they would fail just because they want to.

5. The setting of the book is in school where Show And Tell was being hosted]]> 2023-03-17 15:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521064218 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521064469 1) My favorite thing about the book I read was how the main character Ada Ru, didn't want to live in a new place but after, she grew more on it and didn't really want to leave. 
3) I would tell someone to read this book for one reason it would be that the book is really mysterious and is mainly of adventure. 
4) The main conflict in the story was that Ada Ru didn't believe that the Loch Ness monster was real and that it was living close to where she was staying. I haven't been in a similar situation where there was a possibility to be a monster under the water near where I live. ]]> 2023-03-17 15:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521064469 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521064879 1. My favorite thing about the book Zeus dog of chaos is how Zeus at first doesn’t like music and wants to destroy it but after he listens to people playing music and spends time with madden he slowly starts to like music and is always trying to help Madden
3. If I could tell someone to read this book for one reason it would be for how the characters develop throughout the story like how madden has to go through the challenge of having diabetes but doesn’t think he needs a service dog and after he gets the service dog he slowly starts to get attached to Zeus and pays more attention to him when Zeus saves his life
5. The story Zeus dog of chaos takes place in a middle school where Zeus has to go with Madden to different classes and it mostly takes place in music class. I have been in a similar place which is also a middle school

2- I can relate to the main character of the book, which is Jacqueline Woodson, because in her book she describes how in her class she often found it hard to pay attention if it was a class she did not enjoy, and I relate, as in classes that I don’t  find any interest in I usually find it hard to pay attention. 

3- If i were to tell anyone to read my book, it would be because my book contains poems experiences that Jacqueline wrote, which each have a deep meaning, as these poems reflect her childhood growing up as an African American.]]> 2023-03-17 15:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521064919 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065544 If I could tell anyone to read this book for one reason, it would be because the book is about a girl detective that solves mysteries, and she solved a lot. 
A major conflict in the story was that while the main character of the story, Friday, went away for 2 weeks to try to not get deported, someone pulled a prank at the school and had fired every single teacher, and pulled even more pranks like food poisoning in the cafeteria food, and switching the signs when students had to run across the forest. So it was very disastrous in the school. 
The setting of the book is at Highcrest Academy, Friday’s school, which is where she has to solve the cases that the headmaster and teachers need her help with. ]]> 2023-03-17 15:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065544 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065621 1.My favorite thing about the book that i read was when Ender goes to a military called the salamander to fight against buggers  and he sees that there is only one girl there. the Commander Borzo doesn't like him around and because of that he trains everybody else there to disobey the Commander so because of that they trade him to the rat army.

3.if i could tell someone to read this book i would tell them to read it if they like adventure because this books is about a guy that goes to war against these aliens creatures.

4. what the major conflict is in Enders game is that he is mentally and physically not prepared to fight against the buggers and that he gets run downed by knowing he is risking his life.

My favorite thing about the book I read was the relationship all of the 7 siblings have with one another and the way they were never found alone or separate from the rest because it reminds me of the relationship I have with my siblings.               2. Yes I do relate to one of the characters in the book. Her name is Thea Problim and she has a twin called Wendell Problim. Since they are twins, their siblings had always thought they were very similar people and had the same hobbies. I can relate to this because since me and my sister are always together, my family has always thought that we would have the same hobbies and like the same things. For example, when we were little. during Christmas my family would always buy the same things for us.                                         4. A major conflict in the story was that the Problim siblings had to move away from their old house in the Lost Cove and move into a new neighborhood where no one liked them because the neighbors thought the siblings were different from the rest of the people. ]]> 2023-03-17 15:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065628 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065641 1. What was my favorite thing about the book I read was the notes on some of the pages that the characters wrote. These notes were mostly funny and some important things written on them. They helped develop the character's personality when they are not in the section of the book.     3. If I was able to tell someone to read my book for one reason it would be because of the funny scenes introduced into the book. Like the parents celebrated weird holidays no other sane person would celebrate like peach cobblers day where they make a huge peach cobbler.       5. A major conflict in the book is when the kids of the parents decided to lock themselves in the treehouse the main character, Winnifred owns and the parents try to get them out of there ]]> 2023-03-17 15:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065641 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065903 1. My favorite thing about my book was that how the Main characther (Shoya Ishida) changed his perspective from the beginning  of the book towards the end. He realized his mistake in the past and tried to make it up.

3. I would tell someone to read this book becuase it has many unexpected plot twist
 and make a good ending of each volume.

5. The major conflict in the book was that Shoya is betrayed by all his classmates. He was the only one who took the blame of the bullying becuase he was targeted by his classmates.

]]> 2023-03-17 15:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521065903 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521066669 1 . My favorite thing about this book was how the book is written with a lot of creativity because you don't really find a random Christmas van and decide to get in.
3. I would recommend it due to the creativity in this book and how it is kind of relatable 
4. The major conflict was how Nick who is almost 13 really wants to impress his crush Tinsel and does everything to impress her even tries to become famous but fails a ton of times]]> 2023-03-17 15:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521066669 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521066825 - My favorite thing about the book is that Zeus just wanted to " destroy " music just for his owner, Madden, someone with diabetes. This even meant that he would purposely mess up things in Madden's music class such as destroying practice music papers.

- If I could tell someone to read Zeus Dog of Chaos, it would be because Zeus is a funny dog. This is because he would make fun of Madden for specific things. But even so, he still cares for Madden and warns him whenever needed.

- A major conflict of this book is that Zeus wants to get rid of music because he thinks that it could affect Madden's blood sugar for the worse, even if Madden disagrees.]]> 2023-03-17 15:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521066825 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521067125 1. My favorite thing about this book was how the main character was put in a very different environment than she had originally been in, yet realized they weren't all that different. This book is futuristic, and in it the country is divided into different factions that each value different things. Tris, the main character, was originally in Abnegation, who value selflessness, but she then transferred to Dauntless, and they value bravery. Tris comes to realize that it takes selflessness to be brave.

3. If I could tell someone to read this book for one reason, it would be because of all the action in it. The main character is placed in an environment where she must learn to be brave and ruthless, so several challenges are forced upon her and her friends that put her in great danger.

4. A major conflict in my independent book was when the main character was forced to overcome her absolute worst fears in order to pass a test that would determine if she would be allowed to stay in her faction. I have not experienced something like this before.]]> 2023-03-17 15:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521067125 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521068498 The setting of this book mostly takes place in Manhattan, Which is where the enemy, Kronos who has possessed Lukes body, want to arrive in order to destroy Olympus which is located in the Empire State Building. Most of the time when there is a battle between the gods, humans see the aftermath of this as a natural disaster because they are covered by the mist but they do not experience anything weird. In this case Kronos who is the Titan of time, and Pythos who put everyone else to sleep so they would not disturb while in battle.

My favorite part of the book is how although everything that happens is impossible in real life, somehow all the characters can have conflicts that we also do, and so you are able to relate with someone who has supernatural powers. Also, these characters have things in their "regular life" when they are able to be with their mortal parents that can really relate to us considering that we are pretty close in age.

Amy had been through so much pain and now that Glamora and Glinda (twins) were in the same body they could not be trusted. If I would tell someone to read this it would be because of the action and the setting because the characters go through many challenges dealing with various enemies. The major conflict was having to kill Dorthy but now that that is done the quadrant( Revolutionary order) has to find a way to defeat the Nome King and take the shoes from Amy.

There's a new story in the chapters with all relating to problems and situations that teens have to go though in high school, like insecurity, disabilities, bullying/cyber bulling it puts the author in there shoes and tells a message at the end of every teen story, they also include airlines for help with these situations and what to do if you are stuck in one whitch is very thoughtful of the author and was a book that i was looking for, a book with different persepectives and different story's, im glad i found one.

If i could tell somebody a reason to read this book it could be because it could help the reader help teens see situations and help people that are in though situations at school and giving knowledge about these situations like bullying and how to confront them.

3. If I could tell someone to read this book for a reason it would be because the book is rather suspenseful and interesting, since the book is about a case that had never really been solved until a girl named Pip decide to take the lead of the investigation. As the book introduces suspects who could've possibly cause a terrible issue to happen.
4. A major conflict that happened in the book is how an anonymous person had taken one of their loved ones and lied about giving them back, and invading more and more of pips life.]]> 2023-03-17 15:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521069047 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521070037 1) My favorite this about the book I read was the charcters development and how at the beginning the boy named Jack was timid and insecure but he gradually starts to feel more confidents in his poetry.

2) I could relate to this book because the boy named Jack was timid and unsure about himself and about the poetry he writes in school since he belives that boys don't write poetry and only girls do. This makes him feel insecure about putting his name on his poetry and writes it as unknown. But afterwards his classmates see it and enjoy his writing and this makes him gradually start to feel confident in putting his name in his work. I could relate to this because I used to be timid and scared but now I ammore confident in myself sompared to back then.

3) I could tell someone to read this book for one reason would be because of the poetry and the differnet ways the main charcter write his poetry and how impactful it is to the reader.

If i could tell someone to read this book it would mostly be because of the action that it provides throughout the story. 
The setting in the story is mostly in a closed area with there being some structures that look like they belong in a museum]]> 2023-03-17 15:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2521073751 https://padlet.com/sconnell81/uz7t0gomfhrm5b5f/wish/2522726382

My favorite part about the book is how Genie gets to know his grandfather more than he knew before he came to Virginia. He finds out that he is blind, that he has a room filled with a bunch of birds, which he calls his babies, and finds out that he got a scar on his ankle, which was caused by a copperhead snake biting him when he was blind. Also, Genie gets to learn about life in the countryside, like how to pick peas for his grandmother to sell at the market. 

A character that I can relate to in this story is the Grandpa, because his room with the birds is his place where he can be calm, and like him, I also have a place where I can relax, be calm, and not have have any responsibilities, which is my bed, where I can also get my rest. To add on, Grandpa loves his birds and takes care of them, just like how I love and take care of my cat.

 If my book was non-fiction, something that I would have learned is how to see what peas are ripe, or not, and how to pick peas, because this is what the Grandma teaches to Genie and Bert so that they can pick peas for her and she can sell them.
