teens cookbook

I checked out a cookbook at the library a while a go. it had simple but good recipes. i did not get to try out many but i tried out the chocolate banana's. they were pretty good. not colorless like other fancy food. this book had big text so you didn't have to squint to read. it also had facts from teens who made the book it was interesting to me and some of my friends liked its easy and fast to me.

The Lost Boy

The Lost Boy is about that a young boy had never had a home. His only possesions are the old torn clothes he carries in a paper bag. His only world is isolation and fear. Althogh the child called''it'' has been rescued from his alcoholic mother and plus the real hurt is just beginning - he has no place to call home. And actually its sad because the child called''it'' was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played torturous, unpredictable games- games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave: and no longer a boy, but an ''it''. His bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused.

I will never get old about this book because its very cool, its appropriate to our age because Christmas is for all ages, the pictures the book shows are very neat and show you what is happening in the book, the whole book is about to never lose your Christmas spirit.

The Book Of Time by Guillaume Prevost translated by William Rodarmor

This book was about a boy named Sam Faulkner travels back and forth in time by a statue and some coins. He travels to the age of the Vikings and ancient Egypt. I think this book was interesting because of all the time travel and the fact that it was written in a different country in a different landuage. The original landuage thati was written in was French.

Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying By: Barbara Park

This book is about a young girl who is addicted to spying. This book was one of my favorite books when I was younger. I liked to know that there was someone even crazier and misbehaved more than I did. I loved to read about the crazy things she got into within one or two days. I would recommend this book for kidds that enjoy a laugh every once in a while. This is a book that can be read to you by a family member or a book to help improve your reading skills if you are having trouble.

So Far From The Bamboo Grove by Yoko Kawashima Watkins

This book was really interesting. It was about how Yoko, her sister Ko, and their mom made their way back to Japan near the end of World War Two. They lived in Korea, but it was too dangerous to stay there, so that's why they went to Japan. They were going to stay with their grandparents, but they found out that they were already dead. That same day their mother died on Yoko's lap. The sisters somehow managed to survive a couple months until their brother, Hideyo finally made it to where they were.
I thought this was a cool book because it was written by the main character of the story. The saddest part was when her mom died right on her. I couldn't imagine that happening to me it would be really sad. If you want to now like what they lived through during World War Two, this would be a perfect book. I sort of pictured the story in my head and for some reason I found it entertaining. It actually was not boring. When I think about a book that talks about history, I think it will be the worst book ever. Luckily, I took a chance on this book, maybe you should too. ;)

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Nobody Owens is an orphan child, his parents were murdered by a Man Jack, and he was saved when he wandered outside in to the streets and into a graveyard. The Man Jack did not find the baby, but he never stopped looking for him. Two ghosts, the Owenses, find the baby and decide to adopt him,but first they have to have the consent of the other ghosts of the graveyard. All ghosts reluctantly agree to raise the baby and take care of him, and they decide to name him Nobody Owens. Nobody Owens grows up to be a nice, young boy who is eager to go to school and he knows a lot about the supernatural world, but the truth is that Nobody Owens can not walk outside the graveyard's gates because the possibility of the Man Jack killing him is always there, and as a result, Nobody can not go to school, instead he is taught about things by the ghosts. I am not going to reveal the ending, you must be the one to know what will happen to Nobody Owens when he grows up and turns fifteen.

Blogs due!

The deadline is approaching.I like to think you're posting about a book you are reading currently, but if you want to talk about an old favorite, that's OK too. Judy Blume is a childhood favorite. Did you know she published a new book a couple of years ago?


Sometimes I like to read something short. I'll share with you a poem by Billy Collins, that was recently famous on YouTube:



You are the bread and the knife,
the crystal goblet and the wine.
You are the dew on the morning grass
and the burning wheel of the sun.
You are the white apron of the baker,
and the marsh birds suddenly in flight.

However, you are not the wind in the orchard,
the plums on the counter,
or the house of cards.
And you are certainly not the pine-scented air.
There is just no way that you are the pine-scented air.

It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge,
maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,
but you are not even close
to being the field of cornflowers at dusk.

And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither the boots in the corner
nor the boat asleep in its boathouse.

It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the sound of rain on the roof.

I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.

I am also the moon in the trees
and the blind woman's tea cup.
But don't worry, I'm not the bread and the knife.

You are still the bread and the knife.
You will always be the bread and the knife,
not to mention the crystal goblet and—somehow—the wine.

How I Changed My Life by: Todd Strasser

This book is mainly about being who your not, and the challenges that come with it. Bolita Vine (Bo for short) decides it's time for a change, and she wants people to notice her. But is she taking it too far? She looses weight, puts on a little make-up, and even starts talking to people. Pretty soon she not such a misfit. She even has Kyle Winthrop's (Time Zone High's star quarterback) attention, at least as a friend. But now she thinks it's time to take their relationship a step farther.

Personally i did not enjoy reading this book. When you make small changes that you know need to be fixed is good, but not if you go to far with it. When you start acting like someone else it makes you look like you try to hard instead of being yourself, just like the main character in this book did. So if you happen to see this book i would not recommend it, unless you are trying to do the same thing you can see how it doesn't work.
