  • 4.    Cole  |  October 24th, 2007 at 7:34 am

    I just finished reading Celery Stalks at Midnight it is a great book but also funny. One funny thing is when the animals started atttacking the children and the parents because they thought the people I won’t tell you anymore because I don’t want to spoil the story. I would recomend this book to anybody.

    Harry Potter is a good book. I like it becuse it is mostly action and mystery. My favorite character is Harry because he is the main character.

  • 12.    lauren  |  October 24th, 2007 at 7:40 am

    Have you read any good books lately? I just finished a book called Blubber. There is a girl named Linda and everyone is bullying her. But when someone starts standing up for her, she gets it back in her face. Judy Blume is one of my favorite authors. Definitely read this book!

  • 19.    kiley  |  October 24th, 2007 at 7:44 am

    I have just finshed a book called The Somebodies it takes you deep underground in Manhatten. It was good.

  • 20.    tmoe  |  October 24th, 2007 at 7:45 am

    The Three Musketeers is a great book. It has action adventure and battles. They fight enemy kingdoms. In the end they get a fourth Musketeer. I knew it would end with a bang.

  • 21.    lauren  |  October 24th, 2007 at 7:45 am

    In the Stone Circle is so so so so good.

  • 22.    Gretchen  |  October 24th, 2007 at 7:45 am

    When I am done I have a play away too. For who ever wants it is The Penderwicks.

  • 23.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    A number of students have commented that Heat is a “good book.” Why did you like the book? Could someone write a sentence or two to tell Olivia about the plot?

  • 24.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 4:42 pm

    TMoe,

    Have you read The Lightning Thief too? What was your favorite part in The Titan’s Curse? We have The Sea of Monsters in the library if you want to check it out.

  • 25.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 4:45 pm

    Parker,

    Harry Potter is a wonderful main character. What are some of his character traits that you admire?

  • 26.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 4:46 pm

    Gretchen,

    It sounds like you really enjoyed The Penderwicks. Which of the sisters was your favorite character?

    What are you reading now?

  • 27.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 4:49 pm

    Lauren,

    You did an excellent job of summarizing Blubber in a few sentences. That is one of my favorite Judy Blume books.

    If you enjoy Judy Blume’s books, you might like Rules by Cynthia Lord or Summer of the Swans by Betsy Byars.

  • 28.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 5:00 pm

    Cole,

    What kinds of books do you enjoy (fantasy, mystery, nonfiction, etc…)?

    Do you want another funny book like The Celery Stalks at Midnight?

  • 29.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 5:02 pm

    Olivia,

    What kind of book are you looking for? Have you read The World According to Humphrey?

  • 30.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 5:03 pm

    TMoe,

    You did a great job of giving reasons why you enjoyed The Three Muskateers!

  • 31.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 5:04 pm

    Kiley,

    What did you like about The Somebodies? Who was the main character?

  • 32.    cathpott  |  October 24th, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    Lauren,

    Tell readers a little bit about In the Stone Circle. I think when other students find out about the plot, they will want to read it.

  • 33.    Cole  |  October 26th, 2007 at 5:00 am

    Mrs.Potter

    I seem to like nonfiction, fiction and mystery.

  • 34.    Cole  |  October 26th, 2007 at 5:05 am

    Mrs.Potter, I love funny books so I would love to read another funny book.

  • 35.    Cole  |  October 26th, 2007 at 5:11 am

    Mrs. Potter

    I would love to read Homework Machine.

  • 36.    brittney  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:31 am

    I started to read Sand Dollar Summer and I got to the second chapter and I got really bored with it so I stopped and it was a Maine Student book award book too!

  • 37.    Jamie  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:31 am

    Critters of The Night is a great book and somewhat scary. It`s a good mystery.

  • 38.    Cathy  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:32 am

    I just finished ‘”Flush.”It was a great book.In the story a boy and a girl catch a cruise boat dumping the bathroom stuff into the ocean near the dock it is at. They try to get their dad to help them but he keeps on getting house arrest. So they use their parents best friend named Shelly. She gives them great help and ideas.

  • 39.    Jillian  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:35 am

    I think a good book for girly girls is Drama Queen! It is about a girl who trys out for the school play but the mean girl in schoo Amberl is being a pain! She in messing up her costume and saying rude comments! Amber is also trying to sing really loud and it sounds REALLY bad! Will she sound good in the show or will the schools play stink?
    To find out read the book.

    P.S. Hi Kyndra :)

  • 40.    Max  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:36 am

  • 41.    sarah  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:36 am

    Gretchen

    I am reading the Penderwicks. The Penderwicks is a really good book. I just got to the part when Batty went into the bull cage. That part was Really Good.

  • 42.    Kyndra  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:37 am

    I read The Janitor’s Boy. When we had reading time I couldn’t get my nose out of the book! It was the best Andrew Clemets book I’ve ever read! If you like mysteries try this one. ( It has a few funny things about bubble gum too.) Hope you enjoy it!

  • 43.    sow  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:37 am

  • 45.    Lyndsey  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:38 am

    I just finished a book called The Water Sprites. It is in the series The Fairy Realm. I liked the book because the main character was a Water Sprite Mermaid. I liked that there was a mermaid in the story because I love learning about mermaids. I loved the book.

    The Diary of a Wimpy Kid it is a very funny book because he did not want a diary at all. He wanted a journal and that is important to him. The story starts with an unhappy wimpy kid.

  • 48.    Logan  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:40 am

    I am looking for a book does anyone have a suggestion?

  • 49.    Ryan  |  October 29th, 2007 at 11:41 am

    I read The Missing Manatee. It was one one of the best books I’ve ever read. It was thrilling and I could not put it down. Now certain people may read this book and think it was bad because it was about a manatee. But it was a great book.

  • 50.    Jillian  |  October 29th, 2007 at 1:11 pm

And the kids pick there jobs and there is a girl named Jennea and shew picks the worst job and there is a boy named Joe and he picks the best job but he does not like it and he likes the worst job which is (Jenneas) so they switch. When she goes to her dads work she tellls Jim the whole thing, the dad says good job and goes back to working and she starts working that night and she brings her sister with hert and the minute she starts she finds a animal dead in the water. The night she gets home she tells her dad and she always goes house to house and some people are mean and some people are nice. You will have to find the rest out yourself.
