MAXIMUM RIDE BY JAMES PATTERSON
ReplyDeleteThe Pinballs
ReplyDeleteCarlie was a mean girl, she was mean to everybody since she was a baby. I didn’t like the fact that they all have a depressing story. I like the character Thomas J. clause he always helped the pinballs work together. I wonder why Harvey was such a outgoing person if he was in a foster home away from his parents. I really liked the fact that the pinballs helped Carlie to be kind of be nice to people . She was nice for a while then stopped. The story was about this team coming to stop there madness. Also, to reach their certain goal in life. I love this story.

ReplyDeleteDiary of a wimpy kid by:Jeff Kinney is about a kid named Greg Heffley. He goes to middle school. He fights his older brother Rodrick. He gets mad at his little brother Manny and his Mom and Dad. Greg is like a party kid. He’s honest and he could be a little crazy. I think that kids will like this nice book.

This story is about a kid named nick. He renamed a pen a frindle but the teacher does not want him to use the word frindle. What happens will he use the word frindle or will he not?
ReplyDeleteI liked the story because it was an exciting book about a brave boy who wants to make up the new word frindle.

Marvin Redpost, kidnapped at birth
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part was when his brother kept telling him he was kidnapped because Marvin couldn’t remember any thing. I thought it was funny because he was confused. This reminds me of the time when my brother told me I was adopted just to bother me.

I really liked this book Frindle because it’s a little silly when Nick the 5th grader makes up a word when he read how words get in a dictionary. His teacher didn’t like the word “Frindle.” She likes the word “pen” so they went into a little war . This is why I like this book and would like to recommend it.

I learned that if you have another father you can spend more time playing with him. I really like when they were doing the AmberBrownies ,when and when the mom sees the faces of both, she scream a lot. I wonder if Amber didn’t clean her room and if Sarah didn’t find Max and Amber doesn’t get extra credit . My favorite part was all the book it was fun! Because it had fun parts and it make a good book and my favorite character is Amber because she is very funny when she did the cake.

Frindle:
ReplyDeleteI didn’t like that Mrs. Granger was such a strict, and mean
teacher. Nick did not deserve that kind of respect.
Mrs. Granger was mean because she made Nick do an
essay based on the dictionary. I really liked how nick
became rich and famous over the word he made up “frindle”. And how his word frindle became to be in
the dictionary. I would love to invent a word like frindle.
I would invent a new word for the IPad3, the word would be
The A-screen.

Deep and Dark and Dangerous
ReplyDeleteDeep and Dark and Dangerous is a very good book. If you like suspenseful ghost mysteries you will love this book. Like when a girl named Sissy tries to drown Ali’s cousin Emma your just screaming at Ali STOP HER STOP HER NOW! Also when Sissy tries to get Emma to jump off a cliff but she was just trying to get them to see something important. My favorite part is when Sissy and Emma were sitting in the graveyard talking then Ali leaves and the next day they have a funeral but I’m not going to tell you who for your going to have to read the book to find out.

Diary of a wimpy kid
ReplyDeleteThis story is about a boy named Greg Heffley that is in middle school.His main goal is to try to get the girl of his dreams Holly Hills. But his best friend Rowley Jefferson is kind of a dork and that makes him not be so cool in school.I think this book is good for someone that is looking for a nice comedy.If you don’t have this book I suggest you get it fast.
FRINDLE The main problem in the story is when Nick came to 5th grade and for his teacher is Mrs. Granger and he think that she is meen to a lot of people The story end like this, 10 year’s latter Nick became rich and he was nice to give his mom dad and brother some money to have, and they were happy that he did that, and a few days latter his teacher mrs. Granger send a pacage to him and he open it and it was a dictionary, and she put a not on and on and on, that what happened in the story. S.M SPG Gr 5
