Ghost Cats The title of my book is Ghost Cats. The author of my book is Susan Shreve. There are ten chapters in Ghost Cats. I don’t know if my book has a genre. The main character of my book is Peter Hall. The qualities that I admire from Peter is that he loves cats and that he loves moving around the world. The things I don’t admire is that Peter has no friends. Some interesting actions the main character is involved are at his cats. Peter loves cats his family and Peter has a lot of cats. If I could be one of the characters it would be Peter because he moves all over the world. I want to move place to place. Well there is no setting because the Hall family moves every where around The story takes place in the past. The setting is real. Peter was happy moving around the world. Then Peter did not like moving. Peter did not like moving because he had no friends. There was only two major events. One of them is when Peter’ family moves all around the world. The other event is when Peter’s cat’s disappear. If I could rewrite the end of the story I could put that Peter’s family would not move and that peter made friends and he found the cats

Over my vacation of January 02 I read the book “If you didn`t have me”! The author of my book is Ulf Nilson. It had 11 chapters and the genre is farm life fiction. The main characters in my book were Edwin and grandma. I can`t tell you the main characters name cause it wasn't in the book. Edwin is the stubborn little baby who yelled all the time. Grandma and the main character were the quiet ones on the farm. The thing I didn`t like about the main character was that he was so bratty when he was singing all the time. If I had to be one of the characters I would be Cilia cause she loved to read. The place they lived was at an old farm in the country with grandma`s garden and my uncle near. I go to the farm every day and feed the animals. Then we would ride back in the back of the tractor that his uncle would be pulling. The reason I went to my grandma`s house for the summer is cause my parents were building the house in town. I loved this book. THE END

The Search for Piranha The tile of this book if The search for Piranha. The authors of this book is Henry Bamman and Robert Whitehead. There are eight chapters in this book that tell you about South America. The main chapters are Rich and Mark. There are scientists that came from USA to search for the PIRANHA and after they catch it there going to research it and and put it in aquarium. Some qualities that i admire in characters are that they are really brave after all they have seen a large snake called Anaconda,then piranha eating a buffalo in the river and some other dangerous animals in the river. Some qualities that i don't like about the characters are that they don’t like to talk about themselves because i like to hear what is in science world. The main interesting the character is involved in is like adventure finding Piranha,seeing a Anaconda,see the indian live on the water land. I think i would be Mark because he is like kind of outer the danger zone. Rich is always like getting in the water where the piranha is and other dangerous animals are that why I rather would be Mark than Rich. The story take place in South America,Brazil in the amazon River.The story take place in the past in the year 1964. The stories setting are real,but it is fictional because it is an adventure book that was created in 1964. There is no conflict in the characters but there is a problem see they are worried if they can catch piranha or not and they are worried about if they die in the jungle or they probably wont make it back if they don't have enough money. The major event in the story are when they see the rain falling at the same time, when the is up,then when the piranha eat the buffalo and the monkey,then they see the Giant Anaconda,and finally they see the indian on the little floating island. The thing i would change in the end of the story is that they shouldn’t leave on the ship they should leave on the airplane because it’ll take time in the ship instead in the airplane it would only take a few hours. I would change the other thing in the story is the character in the end instead of indians it should be the city people because they didn’t have to cross the Del Negro River.

Book Report By Richard Edmond I just read a great book called Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. This book is mainly about a boy named Harry Potter and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. They are thirteen year olds who go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. In this book Harry figures out a guy named Sirius Black betrayed his parents to the darkest wizard ever Lord Voldemort, also known as He-who-must-not-be-named. This wizard killed his parents. Actually an evil rat named Scabbers did it. Scabbers is Ron’s rat. This rat can turn into a wizard named Peter Pettigrew. No one believes Harry and Hermione that Pettigrew did it so they were about to perform the most horrible thing on him, the dementor’s kiss. This is when the guards of Azkaban suck the sole out of their victims, and feed off their happiness and make it impossible to learn. Harry and Hermione go back in time and save Black. In the end Black escapes the dementors and go into hiding. This is an excellent book and will raise your vocabulary. But read the first two books first or it won’t make any sense.

Challenge at Second Base By:Brianne Challenge at second base is about a little boy named Stanley Martian, who plays baseball. The reason he plays baseball is because his brother Phil used to play professional baseball for Harport. So Stan is following in his brothers footsteps. Stan does not know why Phil stopped playing with Harport. Stanley plays with the Falcons. He really wants to play second base, but he does not know how to play that well. Also because another boy on Stanley's team Gary, always plays second base. So Stanley kind﷓of does not want to play because he knows that he won't be able to play second base. That very night he got a mystery letter saying, "You can do it! Stick with it!" The letter had no name, and he could not tell who's writing it was because the letters were cut out of a newspaper. He asked his brother if he had wrote it, but he just shook his head. It was a mystery! On the first game against the Steelers he played two innings, and Gary played the rest. When Stan played second base he missed a few balls. That was when he knew he was not good and got mad even though they won. He wished that Phil could practice with him. That night Jeb came over to pick up Dottie (Stan's sister) for a date. Stan is mad because Jeb is Gary's brother. Also because he helped Gary play second base. Stan kept getting mystery letters. Then one night he got a letter that struck his attention. So that night at practice he did so well at second base. The coach tried something new. He put Gary at shortstop and kept Stan at second base. They both did very well at their positions. As the season passed they were in third place out of seven teams. The team did pretty skillful. Phil had been away because he was on a trip. When he came back home he had great news! He was playing professional baseball with Harport again! That very night they went to see him play. He played shortstop. He was unbelievable. He made a lot of double plays and caught hard, fast balls. He was the best! In a way Stan knew the reason why he was back with Harport. He thought that the mystery letters changed his mind. When they got back from the game Stan found a mystery letter. He opened it, it said, Congratulations! We think you've licked it. And so has Phil. Your ever﷓loving fans, Dottie and Jeb. He could not believe that Jeb and Dottie were writing the letter all a long. I really liked this book! I would recommend it to people who are into or like sports. I would give this book an eight and a half.

How The Grand Canyon Was Formed The truth is that no one knows for sure though there are some pretty good guesses.The chances are that a number of processes were used to create the view that you see in todays Grand Canyon.The most powerful force to have impact in the cayon is erosion mostly made by water ice and wind.Another thing that helped the grand canyon is the colarodo river.Since the river splashes all over the canyon,when winter comes it freezes the water on the canyon and it expands.And thats how the canyon was formed.

Black Beauty...By Anna Sewell...Ashley Kantzian...Black Beauty is a book about a young black stallion that is sold and then resold twice. It is a touching story.In the book Black Beauty meets a white male pony named Merry Legs. He also meets a frisky chestnut mare named Ginger. All this is something that happens during the first selling. The place were Black Beauty was first sold was a humungous place that had lots of space to run around. Black Beauty was always flirting with Ginger. During his second selling, both his knees were broken in a careless accident....My opinion is that it is a must read book. Anyone would like this book especially animal lovers.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone By J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a magical book with wondrous creatures and powerful spells and magic. Anyone would enjoy this magical book and all its mysterious customs and wonders. This book is so interesting, anyone could enjoy it. There were many characters in the story, but I will try to remember and tell about as many as I can. First I have to remember Harry Potter also known as “the boy who lived”. He got this name because the worst and meanest wizards of them all tried to kill him and failed. Next there is Albus Dumbledore. He is the only wizard that the worst character in the book is afraid of. Now there’s Ron. He is Harry’s best friend. Ron and Harry have many adventures together. Hermione is Harry’s other best friend. She goes on many adventures with Ron and Harry. Fifth are the Dursleys. They are Harry’s aunt, uncle, and cousin, and they always bug him. Next is Draco Malfoy. He and Harry met together on the Hogwarts school train, and they’ve been enemies ever since. Professor McGonagall is Harry’s, Ron’s, and Hermione’s leader of their house in Hogwarts. Hagrid is the one who delivered Harry to his home. Professor Quirrell is one of the teachers of Hogwarts and seems to be a nice man. Snape is a mean teacher to Harry. Although he’s mean to Harry, he saves his life. And last is Harry’s worst enemy, Voldermort. He’s the one who tried to kill Harry, and succeeded at killing his parents and anyone else who tried to stop him. The book was set in England not too long ago. But more specifically, he was in his house which was more of a prison to Harry because he lived in a staircase cupboard. He spent more time at Hogwarts during the whole book. There were many problems in this book but the biggest one can’t even compare to the rest. Voldemort is trying to steal a stone that has been guarded the best that Hogwarts could so Harry tries to stop him. The stone that Voldemort wants will bring him back to life even if he’s going to die in one minute. The solution to the problem is when Harry, Hermione, and Ron take their biggest adventure in Hogwarts. First they have to go into a room where they have to play a three headed monster dog music so they can go into a trap door under it. When they go under it they are stuck in a deadly plant called Devils Snare. Next they had to play Wizard’s Chess, which is a lot harder than normal chess. Then Harry and Hermione went into a room where they had to solve a riddle to find the right potion so Harry could get to Voldemort which was through fire. When Harry entered the room He saw Professor Quirrell looking at a mirror that will show your desires to only who’s looking at it. The main event is when Quirrell hears a voice and turns Harry. He takes off his Turban and then Quirrell turns around and there is Voldemort. Quirrell tries to use Harry to get the Sorcerer’s Stone because he knows that he has it. That’s when Harry and Voldemort start to fight. Harry touched his face and it started to blister. He died and Harry passed out and woke up in the hospital. Professor Dumbledore walks in and he tells Harry that the stone had been destroyed. Harry was going back to his not humble home; but since he knew magic now, he’d have a better time with his cousin Dudley.

GOOSEBUMPS THE HAUNTED SCHOOL This book is about a boy named Tommy who has just moved to a new school in a new town and the town's name is Bell Valley. His school's name is Bell Valley School. He had just joined the Dance Decorations Committee. As he was decorating the gym with two other volunteers, Ben Jackson and Thalia Harper-Rodis, Tommy went to the art room to get some red paint. He started to hear voices calling for help behind the classroom walls! On his way back he was paying attention to the voices and not to the way he was going. He figured out that he was lost. He almost crashed into a door that had a sign above the door that read "CLASS OF 1947". He opened the door and saw statues of 25 kids. Mrs.Borden, heir principal, caught him. She figured he was lost so she led him back to the gym. When he got back to the gym he started to work right away. Suddenly, Mrs.Borden opened the door and told Tommy to take some pictures of the decorations. The band already arrived at the gym. Greta, one of the band members, accidentally tore down one of the banners on the wall, Tommy took the wrong stairway, and Ben had to go up and get him. When Ben got there they both spotted an elevator, which was very weird! Tommy insisted to go inside but Ben didn't want to go in until Tommy convinced him to go inside. They suddenly heard a hum and realized that the doors' were closing! Tommy kept pressing button after button but the doors wouldn't budge or the elevator wouldn't move any direction until Tommy pressed a big red button. They started moving but they suddenly realized that they weren't moving up or down, they were moving sideways! Suddenly, they stopped. The doors finally opened and they both stepped into a dark room. They saw a girl pop out from behind a desk but this girl wasn't an ordinary girl because her skin color was gray and so was the whole room! The girl's name was Mary. Eloise asked if they were there to help them escape. They decided to go out the window. At first it was like a normal night only black and white. They decided to jog through the sidewalk until the fog came in. Suddenly a cat jumped onto Tommy's shoulder and knocked him down on the cement. He groaned a loud moan and startled Ben. Suddenly,they heard somebody saying "This way!Over here!"so the kids trapped them in a tight circle and started to chant, "Turn, turn, turn to gray, turn, turn ,turn to gray! The other kids ran as fast as they could to help them up and take them to the Black Pit. All of a sudden they heard a humming sound and realized it was the elevator! .Ben and Tommy quickly went to the boys’ restroom and looked at themselves in the mirror and found that they were perfectly normal.

My book report is about Emancipation by Julius Lestein. I learned about slaves and how they had been beaten to work for other people. There were many whites in their part of the country who went to war for them to be free. That's how they got freedom. Also, they tried marching, fighting for what they believed in. I thought that they were really brave. That's why we have a good community and we all live together.

Ethan Frome Report by Crista...Ethan Frome is about a fifty-two year old man who’s life was miserable. Everyday Ethan had to feel pain and sadness. He was not very social. When Ethan was 18, he was bright, young, and eager. Ethan went to college to study physics and natural science. After about a year he drops out of college because his father died in an accident. His mother died too, from illness. During the time his mother was still alive, Zeena came to help. Ethan knew his mother was going to die, so he asked Zeena to marry him so he wouldn’t be lonely, which she did...Later Zeena got sick. Mattie Silver, a cheery girl, comes to help Zeena. Ethan fell in love with Mattie. Later Zeena kicked out Mattie because while Mattie was in charge, the cat broke an expensive plate. Before Mattie leaves, Ethan and Mattie confess their love for each other, and decide to go sledding. Mattie tells Ethan to steer the sled towards an elm tree, so they can die together. It’s too bad that they survive. After that they both got crippled and that left all the work to Zeena and she has to overcome her sickness.

Simon's Hook by Karen Gedig Burnett is an exciting book. I liked it because it taught me a lot of things. I also learned how "not to bite hooks" When people say mean things or tease me, I have to walk away or not react in the wrong way……..The book tells a story about a boy, his friends, and his grandma. The boy gets gum in his hair. Then his sister cuts his hair and she leaves it looking like a lawnmower ran over his head. At school his friends call him names, like lawnmower head……….His grandmother then teaches him how not to react to hooks that people throw at him. This is when people say things that hurt you. It is important to learn how to walk away or respond the proper fashion…………IE."Hey Slowpoke", and you come back with "yeh, maybe a bit today!"……………Simon's Hook is a very good story, and you should read it because it is cool to read.

U.S. Army Rangers The men who want to become U.S. army rangers must go through tough obstacles. They need to learn many hard things. Read and learn how tough it is. The trainees only get two to three hours of sleep. They must get up early to start training. Before training begins the must eat food that tastes like wet sawdust. First they must do sit-ups, chin-ups, and push-ups. All that is required in the beginning. After, they move on to the next step. They must practice going through lakes with their gear. Their gear is very heavy and when their clothes will get heavy too. This is the easiest part of ranger training. Cross-country running is the next step. They have to run a few miles. They have to be running and they can’t walk or they will have to start over. On the next step they must climb a rope, let go, and fall into water. This helps them when they jump off a helicopter into water. This is one of the most frightening obstacles off all. The trainees and their buddy practice hand-to -hand combat. This helps them when they are weaponless. Trainees and their buddy become best friends. Camp rudder is the hardest and last obstacle. They practice battles, going through rapids in a small boat, leap off a plane with a parachute, and it’s so exhausting some quit. Others pass. These are all the things that make becoming a ranger hard. I wouldn’t want to become a ranger. I bet you wouldn’t.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling is an adventurous story and contains a lot of action……………It tells about an orphaned - boy who is a wizard. He goes to a place called Hogwarts where is a chamber that contains a giant snake called a Basilisks. Harry Potter is famous at Hogwarts for his scar, which is the shape of lightning, that the Lord Voldermort marked on him when he tried to murder him. Harry Potter defeats the Basilisks and also caused the Dark Lord to lose his powers……… If you like stories with action you'll surely like all four books of Harry Potter which are long but worth reading not just one time but several times.

The Titanic-Lost and Found by Judy Donnelly is a cool book. I never knew that the biggest ship in the world was the, most unsafe. I liked the book, because it's, a true story……..The story tells how the Titanic navigated on April 10, 1912 and sank on April 14, 1912. The Titanic sank, because it crashed against a giant iceberg. Over 2,200 people embarked on the voyage, and 705 people were rescued…….. I never thought that the book would give a lot of facts in regards to the Titanic. I also did not think that the book would say were it sank, and how many people died. When I stated to read the book I thought it was going to be boring, it wasn't…….. I would recommend this book to other people, especially to pupils, because it's educational. I also can't wait to read another book by Judy Donnelly.

Book Reports . Biography Of Vincent Van Gogh . The Story Of Robinson Cruesoe . The Story of Matilda . The Last Of The Really Great Whangdoodles . Maroo of the winter Caves The first book report is my Biography of Vincent Van Gogh. I’ve made nine cards of some of his most important acts I his life. I have drawn a self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh a few days after he cut off his ear cause of his quarrel with Paul Gaugin. I have written an essay about the story of Maroo of the Winter Caves. This is a historic novel that explains how it would be to living at the Ice Age period before it ended. Maroo and her family tries many things to survive the rough season, this is a great story of Alaskan people during the Ice Age. Matilda, a story of a little girl trying to fulfill her dream of being the top student in her class, but some people are in her way that could stop her dream, like the Trunchbull, the head mistress of the school. This little girl in the story inspirited me not to give up of fulfilling my dream. The Last Of The Really Great Whangdoodles is an exhilarating fantasy. Although three children Thomas, Ben, Linda, and the professor want to see the great whangdoodle the prime minister of Whandoodland the oily prock tries many ways to scare the children. This is a great book for children who have a lot of imagination in their mind. The Story of Robinson Crusoe is mostly about trust, and choices. Robinson a captain, goes sailing around Europe, suddenly a mild storm kicks in. Robinson gets moved away to a shore on an island. He meets a young savage at a cove. They both try to survive tsunami season each year. This story gives an idea of how a island might look like.

Book Reports One of the books I’ve read and was really interested in was Pearl Harbor an amazing story about a war between one of the islands in Hawaii and Japan. When Japan bombs Pearl Harbor they didn’t expect it so they plan on starting a war. A couple days later they bomb Japan with an atomic bomb (the Hiroshima bomb), which makes them surrender. Another was the diary of Katie it was about a girl who had no friends and was very lonely until her aunt visits and gives her a diary. She soon finds out that everything she writes upon it comes true. A Christmas Carol was an interesting and a little bit scary and was about a man named Ebenezer Scrooge who didn’t like Christmas at all. He didn’t know what was heading toward him, all he knew was that he had no Christmas spirit. A couple days later he was visited by three ghosts which showed him Christmas past, present, and future. When I did my biography on Walt Disney I read the book and wrote about him. I wrote all the important events that came up in his life and about a wonderful place called Disneyland the theme park named after him so we can bring his spirit back to life. Another was Maroo of the winter caves it was about a girl and her family, which lived during the Ice Age trying to survive through this hard period of time. Maroo soon learns what its like to be brave and confident just like her family. The case of the volcano mystery was a very interesting book because I like mysteries. It was about two twins who are in Mexico visiting a plant farm trying to solve a case about a monster in a big silver suit and silver snow.

But that never stopped him from going. When he went to Hogwarts, he made friends with Ron and Hermoine, and they had many adventures. However, the biggest one is still to come. His father and mother were killed by Voldermort, the greatest dark wizard, and Harry did not get killed because his mother died to protect him. The only relic of his past was a scar on his forehead. When Voldermort tried to kill Harry, he only succeeded in making himself a mere spirit of the world, but he was still alive. When Harry confronted with Voldermort for the first time, Voldermort was on the back of one of the Professor's head. He was not a spirit anymore because the professor drank unicorn blood, and the blood would make you live again if you are almost dead. Well, all Voldermort wanted was the Sorcerer’s Stone because if you have it, you would live forever. Voldermort could not get hold of it because he wants to use it for himself, and Harry got it because he only wanted to stop Voldermort from getting it. In the end, Harry defeated Voldermort again, but he was still alive. Also, the stone is now destroyed, but everyone is glad that Voldermort won’t come again soon..........

The book Mermaids Don't Run Track was funny. It was about four kids who were going to a camp called Camp Lone Wolf for a track meet. Their track coach's name was Mrs. Waterford. She loves to swim in the pond and she loves to run around the track a lot. At night the kids would hear singing, but they didn't know where it would come from. Toward the end of the story they found out Mrs. Waterford was a mermaid. It was a cool and funny book. I really liked it.
