Frindle by Andrew Clements
This new book that i started reading called Frindle, is basically about this kid named Nick that isn't really a trouble maker but has a really big imagination with making things more fun. For example when he was in third grade he tried to turn his classroom into a tropical island, his teacher was fine with it but when the principle got involved things didn't go so well. If you really do classify him a a trouble maker, he's a really smart one because he learned about the blackbird's high noise frequency and how no one can track where the noise is coming from. He did use this to cause trouble in his fourth grade classroom, but at least he could never get caught. This book is beginning to get very interesting but you have to read it to see what happens.

The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod by Heather Brewer
This book is really good although the second chapter WAS only about his day during halloween and That he wanted to go to a party.But Vlad is as nice and suite as we thought he scared little oÃda by flying and showing his fangs.The weared part about it is that one of the kids didn't get scared the kid just looked at him but then Vlad told him to go home and he did.I guiño that the kid is also a vampire and maybe he knows why the other vampire is looking for him.........That kid knows something you and me don't.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy Book 1 : The Amulet of Samarkand
A tale like no other. That is what I this book I have been reading. A story of thrill, chills, and sorcery.
The Amulet of Samarkand is is a bone chilling book that would want you thirsting for the next one and the one after. It is a tale going back and forth between an appritance of a middle class magician and a powerful djinni older than anyone could guess. What I found confussing about the boy was that he has a birth name [Nathaniel] but given a false name John Mandrake. But I can desrcibe him a very egar student that loves magic. Bartimeaus the name of the djinni is a very sly and not very precossionous of is surroundings.
This book is may be confusing to some or maybe like it more than others.
Many who are into a lot of fantasy like Aladdin or into sorcery like Harry Potter will like the
combination of both.

The Stinking Story of Garbage
The Stinking Story of Garbage is about the history of how people dumped their trash in the beginning and how they did it in different cultures. Long ago before living beings and animals there was no trash on Earth, and as they developed they created there own natural waste. The first farmers started using their garbage such as fruit and vegetables to feed there animals, and make fertilizer for there fields. Overtime people invented new objects, until the object was beyond repair would they throw it away. Soon enough people started to throw it in the streets causing disease and stench. Then king Edward III saw that people were dumping in rivers so drains were eventually started. Factories started industrial waste, multiplying the amount of waste there was.then a Cholera disease broke out so governments ordered that the streets be kept clean. This started landfills, and containers for people to put their garbage in.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, By J. K. Rowling
I have been reading a book named Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It is about a boy who witnessed his parent's death as a baby by a well known evil wizard, Voldemort. He is totally negleted by his relatives who took him in. One night a person named Hagrid took him to Hogwarts, a school of wizarding. There he leanrs about his wizarding powers and battles Voldemort. This is surprisingly a banned book for the "arts of wizarding". This book, in my opinion, is one of the most creative books of all time. It also made a 9-8 movie franchise. I recommend this book for anyone since it keeps you waiting for the next part to happen.

bad girls don't die by katie alender
I just started reading this book like 3 weeks ago. This girl named Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her parent' marriage;her doll crazy thirteen-year-old sister,Kasey;anti cheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding ,Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green sometimes; she uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of chunks of time ,claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their house is changing, too. Doors opens and close by themselves,water boils on the unlit stove , and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house freezing cold, enough so that you can see your breath in. I can't wait too finish the book.

Guardians of Ga'Hoole 2 The Journey by Kathryn Lasky
The book Guardians of Ga'Hoole is very fun to read. I really recommend this book, but I think you should read the first book to understand this book better; the first book is really good, too. I also watched the movie Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and the book is definitely better because the owls face more adventures, and that, makes the book more interesting than the movie (in one movie they summarized about 3 or 4 books!)
Holes,by Louis Sachar
Holes is a very good book mostly because of its detail and some parts are pretty funny. Holes is about a normal kid named Stanley Yelnats who gets arrested for something he didn't do.
