I love this book so much it is like tots awesome. overall it is pretty funny and it is kind of edgy, this is the book you will probably end up talking to or thinking about saying no Junie or why.. but if you are a second grader looking for tips don't follow her:( you should read other Junie b Jones books if you really enjoy these. she is a pretty awesome character but at times she is not. Her friends are like the total opposite of her but the really are funny and great to read. i think you should read this book it is the best book ever. well enjoy your book i hope you like it alot

If you enjoyed Watership Down, Tales From Watership Down is a good choice to reunite with characters from the first book. This book is much shorter than the first and is a bit easier to understand because of the familiarity achieved by reading Watership Down. The basis of this book explains the process of creating a new warren and learning more about rabbit myths heard in the first book.

I am a insane so it makes me feel better I know I am not the only one! It is inspiring

This book was OUTSTANDING! Lacey Chu is a 7th grader and an extremely talented engineer who loves to tinker with creations of her own. Her dream is to be a companioneer, a person who creates bakus invented by the legendary Monica Chan, Lacey's IDOL. Monica created bakus as new electronic technology that looks and acts like an animal, but has all the tech to get you through your day. But to follow this dream, Lacey first has to make it into Profectus, the prestigious school run by MONCHA, Monica's company. And for that, she needs a Level 3 baku! Lacey stumbles upon some practically destroyed material in a ravine while trying to help out her best friend Zora. But only Lacey can turn rubble into a treasure, as she creates Jinx, the cat baku that can communicate telepathically with her! Lacey steps into Profectus with an enemy, Carter, who is a bully with an advanced boar baku that is determined to get her kicked out of the school, but Lacey is sure she can make her mark with baku battles... Add together a great team of new friends, a cute team captain, and a possible double crosser, equaling one AMAZING book! I was completely engaged as I read and I just couldn't stop! Amy McCulloch's writing pulled me in and my curiosity to find out what happened next kept me flipping the pages as quickly as I could! Jinxed is an amazing new novel and a sure-to-be hit! I recommend this book to everyone looking for their next great read! 5/5 stars!

One of the shortest mini series with Percy Jackson and the Kanes it is although interesting because the story is in Carter's point of view, and not Percy's!!!

This book was so good! It is summer and Pacy is going with her family to visit Taiwan for the summer. Pacy isn't quite thrilled, but she knows she has to go. They're celebrating her grandmother's 60th birthday! To keep her occupied, Pacy's parents sign her up for a painting class, her sister a lettering class, and her younger sister a paper cutting class. Except...the class for her isn't going to well. She can't seem to do any of it right. Pacy makes all sorts of memories and experiences on this vacation. One of her favorite are eating dumplings! Who doesn't like dumplings? This book was magnificent and I liked it so much because the author visited my school! Happy reading! I rate this book 5/5.

In life you need to not give up because a girl named lrene dini’t up and she has been throw a lot things in the short story Brave lrene wanted to give the dress to the duchess instead of her mom doing it in the story, “Brave Irene” by William staig Irene learns to not give up because if she gave up she would’nt be where she is right now. She probably went to see her mom face again and The Duchess would’nt get the dress that she wanted, Irene would just be freezing in the cold with nothing no blanket and it’s snowing she can’t even make a fire because snow is pretty much water and you need to put on a fire with water one reason when lrene did it give up is when the wind told her to go home thing, another reason is she fell in a hole For example the wind told her to go home lrene was scared but she didn't get up because she wanted to make her mom proud and not waste all of her mom's time stitching up The Duchess dress that's how she never give up and in the text it says, “the wind said go home lrene said I will do no such thing”. Another example is that she is brave to go bring the duchess her dress. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is lrene I was looking for the dress after she lost it and she couldn't see with all the snow in her eyes and she fell in a hole and twisted her leg I'm sure it hurt but Irene kept on walking on the path. In the text she, “said ouch and there was a little tear that went down her cheek she wipt it off quickly so it won't freeze on her face”another example that she is brave is to go when it’s snowing. this shows that lrene is brave. Another example is she was freezing but she kept on walking and she was so cool a lot and she just kept on going on and he didn't think that you were going to die. And she was thinking about her mom and how she wanted to get back to her mom because she was really sick. In the text it says that she was, “shuffling through the snow.'' Another example that she is Brave is to takc care of her mom. This shows that lrene is brave. As you can see lrene it is very carrying and she is loving and she is very brave because she loves her mom and she does the work for her mom and she gives her mom a quilt and she meets her some lemon tea with honey. And she never gives up because if she did give up then she cannot see her mom’s face again and The Duchess won'tl get her dress that she wants and everything will all be messed up. And I'm sure that thay will all Miss Irene even if they don't know her I think that this book was awesome because I really enjoyed it and it made a lot of sense and it is something that I will be again and again definitelyand I am happy that she accomplished what she wanted to do.

In the book The Marble Champ Lupe learns to never give up even when things get hard. I know this because it said that she did some thumb push-ups and she was out of breath but she never gave up. She Kept on doing your thumb push-ups, when she had beat the neighbor kid that I happen to be very good at marbles. She was excited for herself and she thought “ I might be good enough for a tournament”,. She never gave up when she was practicing no matter how hard her thumb hurted or how hard it was hard to beat her brother or the neighbor kid she never gave up. And she never gave up when she saw that the girl in the baseball cap with a dead straight face on and Lupe said to her dad. “ I don't know Dad, she looks pretty tough.” but she did it and she won. My first reason that Lupe never gives up is when she is doing her thumb push-ups and she runs out of breath. She doesn't say oh well I give up on being The Marble Champ she keeps going. I know this because when she was in her room on a rainy day and she decided she wanted to be good at something besides school like a sport. So she decided to play marbles she took some marbles out of her dresser (her brothers old marbles) and started practicing she knew she wasn't going to be good unless she practiced so she practiced her marbles against her bedspread and then her legs and then she started putting them in her hand. That's when she found out she had to exercise her thumb for hitting the marble because you have to use your thumb to flick the marble. My second reason that Lupe never gives up is when she beats the neighbor kid and her brother at marbles. I know this because when Lupe was testing how good she was on her neighbor kid he said ” she can beat the other girls for sure I think” . So Lupe was good enough to go to the tournament. She didn't give up because she practiced and practiced to get better. I know it's because in the text it said “practice, practice, practice, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze she got better by doing some thumb push-ups and squeezing an eraser. An effect to her working hard was that she got a huge muscle in her thumb. Her mom even though her thumb was swollen but Lupe said '' it's a muscle”. My third reason that Lupe never gives up is when she was in the tournament and she saw the girl with the baseball cap and a dead serious face and she didn't know if she could beat her. I know this because when she was at the tournament and she was in the last competition because she beat all the other girls. She said to her dad “ I don't know Dad she looks pretty tough” and her friend Rachel said “Go get her”. (Rachel is one of the girls who competed against Lupe and Lupe asked her to join the team to cheer her on). In conclusion in the book The Marble Champ Lupe learns to never give up even when things get hard. I know this because it said that she did some thumb push-ups and she was out of breath but she never gave up she Kept on doing thumb push ups, when she had beat the neighbor kid that I happen to be very good at marbles.And she never gave up when she saw that the girl in the baseball cap with a dead straight face on and she said to her dad “ I don't know Dad she looks pretty tough.” but she did it and she won.

In life sometimes it is hard to speak up when you are sad or mad.In the story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros a girl named Rachel who’s birthday is today and she is turning eleven. At school she has a problem with her teacher ( Mrs.Price) ;She found a ugly sweater,and asks who’s it is. Everybody says “ Not Mine!” And then Rachel is accused that the sweater is hers. “Eleven” teaches me that sometimes it is hard to let go of things that made you mad. This is very hard for Mrs.Price,Saliva,and most of all Rachel. My first reason is hard for Mrs.Price because she does not accept that it is not Rachel’s witch makes her mad. In the text it says ‘ ‘’Rachel, No more nonsense But it’s not-now!!”. The text also says “ But the worst part is right before the bell rings for lunch. That stupid Phyliss Lopez,who is even dumber than Syliva Saldivar, says she remembers the sweater is hers. I take the sweater off right away and give it to her,only Mrs.Price pretends everything is okay.”This shows that Mrs.Price could be a little more kind. My second reason is that Sylvia needs to worry about herself because she blames that the sweater is Rachels. In the text it says “ Maybe I’m to skinny,maybe she dos not like me that stupid Sylvia Saldivar says “I think it belongs to Rachel”.The text also says “That she makes Rachel feel bad’’. This shows that Sylvia should worry about herself. My last reason is that Rachel needs to calm down when she is mad/sad because when she is sad she starts to overreact a little. In the text it says “Not mine,Not mine but Mrs.Price is already turning to page 32,and math problem number 4”.The text also says”But when the sick feeling and I open my eyes,the red sweater is still sitting on the corner of my desk like a big mountain’’. This shows that Rachel needs to calm down when she is sad/mad. As you can see,the characters in “Eleven” have a hard time speaking up. They go from quiet,to mumbling to talking.From now I am going to make sure if I need to talk,or if somethings not mine.Maybe sometimes it is hard for others to speak up because they are used to being quiet.This proves that Mrs.Price,Saliva,and most of all Rachel needs to take a deep breath.

In life people will want you to do things you don't wanna do. In the story ‘’The Other Side’’ by Jacqueline Woodson clover wanted to play with the people on the other side of the fence but her mom and friend Sandra didn’t want her to. Luckily it didn’t stay that way forever. ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say. My first reason for this is that when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence, And when her friend told her not to play with the other girl (Annie), And lastly when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. My first reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence. What i mean by this is if she had listened to her mom she would have never met Annie. Also if she would have took her mom’s advice the whole book would have never of happened, and there wouldn’t be a story to tell about this. I know this because in the part clover starts explaining where she lives and it says ‘’And mama said, Don’t climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasn’t safe.’’ This shows that if she would have listened to her mom she would have never got to play with Annie. My second reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her friend Sandra told her not to play with Annie. What i mean by this is when they were playing jump rope and Annie walked up to them and asked to play but it says ‘’And my friend Sandra said no without even asking the rest of us.’’ This shows that Sandra probably said no because she didn’t want clover and the other girls to play with Annie. My final reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. If she would have listened to her mom and just stayed inside she might not have got to introduce herself to Annie. In the part that this happened her and her mom were going back and forth about her playing outside on that rainy day and it says ‘’ Mama wouldn’t let me go outside in the rain.’’ This shows that her mom hasn’t really been a help to their friendship. And it is also a good thing that she didn’t listen to her mom.
