The ghost is believed to be the counts murdered daughter. My book is mystery/fiction.

I am reading Hunted: Fake ID by Walter Sorrells. I am currently reading on page 50. Hunted: Fake ID is a mystery and I am planning on doing a glogster as my mini-project for the second nine weeks. I think I am going to do the glogster because it has a lot of creativity needed for it and I've got it! I am also really skilled on the computer so I can try and make it good. In my book there is this girl, who doesn't really have a name but she goes by Chass, and her mom.They are running and hiding, and have been since "Chass" can remember, from something of which Chass doesn't know. I say the girl, Chass, doesn't really have a name because ever since she can remember her name has been fake. When her and her mother go into a new town they both change their names. Right now Chass is in the middle of trying to find her mother.Her mother left after she and Chass got in a fight and didn't return for the next few days.

amonari2 said...

I books title is...Bad Girls Don't Die.The author of my book is Katie Alender. The page t hat i am currently on is...25. This book's genre is Mystery. This book is so far about, a girl who's life turns around when weird things start happening in the main characters house. The lights start flickering on and off, the doors start opening when a second before they were closed. Her sister, named Kasey, is a doll- crazy collector. This becomes a problem when the main characters enemy calls her sister abusive. The reason why is because her sister is so doll-collector crazy that she didn't want people touching her dolls but the enemies sister did! And the main characters sister punched her when she did it. She isn't abusive and charges didn't get pressed on her when she broke her arm but it was a pretty bad case because the girl who's hand got broken, is so traumatized, that she won't talk to anyone except for her sister. It's like, like, she is being controlled by kasey.

amonari2 said...

The book that I am reading is called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."The author's name is J.K. Rowling. Im on page 50 and its really descriptive. I think that its genre is fanasty. So far a boy named Harry is sent to his aunt and uncle's house to live with them right after his parents were killed. A myserious school named "Hogwarts" sends him many letters to attend, but His uncle always get to the letters first and rips up and burn them all. But when they decide to go on vacation a giant stops by to give Harry another letter, this time he reads it. I plan to do a symbols in a bag project, but Im not sure about it.

He warns his brother Hazel and tells him they have to leave the warren and make a new warren far away. They recruit some rabbits to join them on there journey and they leave before the danger comes to their warren. They face many challenges on their journey and then several things go wrong when they make a new warren. I am going to do the character emails to represent the main conflict of having to leave the warren.

The book I just finished is called The Return of Buddy Bush by Sheila P. Moses. This book was historical fiction it was about a man named Buddy bush who the whites were looking for. They were looking for him because a white lady claimed he raped her even though he didn't. The main character Pattie Mae goes to Harlem because that's where Buddy is supposed to be at. Once she gets there she finds Buddy and persuades him to come back down south. Buddy listens to Pattie Mae and comes back home. He goes on trial with the white men but both of them are acquitted. At the end of the book Buddy decides that he wants to go back to Harlem and his family never hears from him again. This is also based on a true story. I also plan to do a glogster because it will fit my book well.

His father gives Cale his ring and hands him to his alein helper Tek and says good bye, and that is the last time Cale sees him and the very evil aliens called Drejs blow up Earth. 15 years later a man named Korso shows up and when Cale starts asking questions, Korso justs asks for the ring that is now too small for Cale and he does something to it that makes it grow and even beep, and when Cale puts it on his finger it not only fits but it also tattoos a map on his hand and Korso tells him that the map will help them find the Titan and save humanity.

Also, when Ike was in 8th grade he scraped his knee and it was black and it was swelling. This book is a non-fiction book.

The book I am reading is called Stargirl. The author is Jerry Spinelli and I am on page 43. The genre of the book is Realistic Fiction. Stargirl is about a new girl in school in school who is the complete oposite of any normal person. She dresses in the weirdest clothes and she brings a ukalele to school and sings to people on their birthday. She's anything but normal and everyone at school is now her friend because no one can hate Stargirl. The mini project I plan on doing is the Symbols in a Bag because it looks kind of easy to do.

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince By: J.K. Rowling. The genre of the book is Fantasy and I am on page 156. The book (so far) is about Harry trying to get use to being called "The Chosen One" and how he finds out some disturbing things about one of his classmates.

My book is about a girl who discovers homeless cats by accident. These four cats cause so much mayhem and may ruin two other people's futures. I'm going to do the book soundtrack. I want to do this specific mini project because I listen to music all day anyways so I mind as well do it for a grade.
