    In my book right now Bast the cat goddess just sacrificed herself to save carter and Sadie and their uncle Sam came back from set's imprisonment

    some questions i have about the book right now are if the red pyramid is making set stronger by the minute why would the powers of set's spell weaken enough for Sam to get out?

  4. Book:The Shack
    Topic:Main Character

    Right now in my book, the main character Mack is unsure of whether or not he should go to the Shack where evidence of his daughters' murder was found after he received an unmarked letter in the mail. He doesn't know if this is some cruel joke or a letter from the murderer himself, but he is going regardless.
    This is important because this has haunted him for three and-a-half years and the letter finally pushed him over the edge. He is ready to do anything to get answers.
    This helps me understand that all he wants is answers and he will not stop until he gets them.

  6. book:blackout girl by jennifer storm

    jennifer a 12 year old girl who made a really bad mistake.she decides to lie to her parents and go hangout with her friend liza...lets just say it was a bad idea to lie to her parents..what i think will happen next is when jennifer gets olders she would of learned her lesson by not doing what she did wehn she was younger..in the text it says " her expression changed once again to one of instant understanding and fear" this helps me understand that if you do something you will regret it...and you will have that problem for a really long time..

  7. book the strange case of origami Yoda
    topic setting

    right now in my book their playing softball in PE the previous years Mike could not play origami Yoda gave him some advice for softball.

    What i think is going to happen next hes probably going to swing a get a home run.

    in the text it says "I swing and miss I swing again I miss I swing a third time and miss i get so angry i go in to the boys locker room and cry".

    this helps me under stand what he is felling because i had the same thing happen to me at my old school although I would not cry unless I got made fun of i would just go to the end of the line an punch my locker once i was out of PE

  8. Travel Team
    By Mike Lupica
    Conflict
    Right now in my book danny and his team won two games in a row. His dad is still in the hospital. Danny went to see his dad in the hospital he thought that there were more tubes comming out of him than before. What I think will happin next is that his dad will get out of the hospital and start back coaching and the will lose. why I am thinking that is when Danny was the coach they did not lose but when his dad was coaching they lost. The author says that danny is a 12 year old coach having the old coaches nightmare. That reminds me of my dad because he has night mares adout coaching.This helps me understand that coaching is hard and sometimes you can't stop trying untill you get what you are striveing for.Also your coach will promise you something and they wil brake ther promise

    I think that later on in the book brian will get to canada to see his dad.
    I think this because my book says that there on ther way to see his dad.
    To me this means that they are going to his dads house in canada.

  10. Mr.Tucket
    By: Gary Paulsen
    Right now in my book Francis was heading west on the Oregon trail with his family by a wagon train, but he has been captured by Pawnees and Indians, and is being treated poorly by kicking and punting he until he could not move. I can tell that Francis is going to have a rough time being beat up every time a native boy comes along. In the text it says, "It is not good to be stupid,little white-eyed wolf,It is stupid to insult the man who holds your gun".
    this help me understand don't underestimate a crazy person with a gun.

  11. Pray Hard by Pamela Walker
    Right now in my book Ameila's mom is thinking about selling their house with Ameila's dad's old runway, But Ameila don't want her to because it brings back too many good memoirs to her.
    I can tell that Ameila's mom is getting this idea from this ex-convect that knows her mom and dad. A question I have is why is she letting him stay at their house he could just be setting them up.
    I think this because in my book it says that Ameila's mom has been doing a lot of weoird things for this man. I wounder why their letting him stay their because he went to jail for stealing so he could steal from them.
    To me this means that Ameila's mom is very trusting and doesn't like to listen to what her daughter has to say.

  12. Monster by;Walter Dean Myers
    Right now in my book, Steve is waiting on to see what he is being sentenced to because he played role in a robbery and a man got shot the man who owned the drug store that they robbed. He is saying he is innocent but the jury don't really believe him because he's a young African American and he's on trail. Which in my thinking that is unfair because no one should ever be seperated because of their skin color. This helps me because the book is making a better understanding for me about how people treated each other differently if they didn't have the same skin color as you. Also, my main character Steve says he only cries at night because the men in there are beating up each other and thats the only right time to cry because no one can hear you. But, if someone does here you you'll be the next one getting beaten up. In my opinoin that's not right to beat up someone because they are crying. Wouldn't that just get yourself into more trouble? Would it be worth it?

  14. BOOK:demon keeper
    In my book there is a boy named Nat who has two dogs. One of those dogs are his and one was his uncles who had died and left his demon dog for him and the house. So Nat makes his own dog food witch he calls slop. It is made out of fish remanes and fish head with a hint of something secret. So when he got to this house he saw that his uncle left the dog there for him and he saw that the dog was not friendly so he had to put his own dog in a diffrent room so the demon dog wouldnt eat his dog. So when he went to go give the dogs there food he gave his dog his first and he was calm but when he went to go give the demon dog hid food the dog just about knocked him over. and that is all that is going on in my book

  16. The Mysterious Benedict Society By: Trenton lee Stewart
    in my book the main characters Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance had just defeated the "whisperer", an evil device run by kids who was created by Mr benidicts twin brother. But soon after they broke it his twin brother along with his best measangers got away. as i finished the book all of the children find new homes because they were once foster children or run aways.
    what i think will happen next in the series is that they will try and track down his twin brother and his measangers to finally defeat them.
    i think this because it kind of left me hanging in the last book and they kept talking about him and were practicing new skills to defeat them.
    This helps me understand that these children are really dedicated to there work and will stop at nnithing to try and save them and even the world! it also shows me the undivining love they have for Mr.Benedict.

  17. Book:A man named Dave
    Topic:setting
    Right now in my book Dave Pelzer just got transfered from Texas to Florida to trin for the Air Force, but then he got a call saying that he needed to go to California because his Dad was in the hospital. Some evidence is that the author stated that Dave's foster mom called and said to come home as fast as he could.
    This is important because in the mater of weeks, Dave went to Texas, Then to Florida, And finally to California, but it is important that Dave can see his farthr because they haven't saw each other in seven years. This helps me understand that even if your famliy lives 1000's of miles away it is important to see them because they love you very much and nothing is more important than that.

  19. Book: The Alchemist the Story of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
    Author: Michael Scott
    In the book I'm reading right now there is an immortal alchemist who's name is Nicholas Flamel. His enemy Dr.John Dee wanted a spell book that Nick has. In Dee's attack on Nick to get the book he got all but two pages of the book and kidnapped Perenelle, Nick's wife. In the attack two teens(twins, brother and sister there names are Josh and Sophie) got mixed up in the fight and they have to go into hiding. I think that Josh and Sophie are more than just everyday kids even if they don't know it. Through out the book when some who knows about magic and has known about magic hears that they are twins they all act surprised or they brushed it off like it was a joke. This makes me think that there is a legend or prophecy about twins.

  20. Topic: Main Character
    Book: One Handed Catch

    Right now in my book Carl is in his family's butcher shop. His dad asks him to give him a hand chopping meat with the meat grinder. He does exactly that....cuts his hand off in the meat grinder. He is rushed to the hospital and his arm has to be amputated up to his elbow. Right now the only thing he is really worried about is playing baseball for the junior high team next summer.

    This is important because his best friend, Leon, is a really good player and is going to be on the junior high team. He does not want to feel like the handicapped kid who can't do anything so he practices and practices all summer long trying to hit, catch, and field the ball all with one hand.

    This helps me understand that even the easiest things such as tying your shoe is hard to do with just one hand so playing baseball is even harder. This means that Carl is going to have to try really hard to reach his goal of making the junior high baseball team.
