My book is called the Lost Hero. The author is Rick Riordan the same author of the Red Pyramid and Percy Jackson series. I have just finished the book.
Leo's perspective:
Wow, my friend apparently isn't my friend, i can summon fire with no burns, my mom died in a fire, i have to go on a mission to save Hera (yeah, the goddess), and my dad is a god for crying out loud, how much can one boy take? In any case i think I'm OK...for now.
My book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban. I am almost finished with it.
Harry's perspactive: Wow. This year kinda sucks. My parents were killed when i was a baby, a man my dad knew real well when he went to Hogwarts is trying to kill me, professor Snape is a jerk, I get bullied every day by Jercko Malfoy, and Quidditch season has been rough.
@hcormack4 that sounds kinda cool
I am reading The Secret Language of Girls. The author is Frances O'Roark Dowell and I am on page 79. Marylin’s perspective: I think that the other girls at my birthday party are taking over! I don’t want to go outside because my mom will catch us and she will be like "what are you doing out in the snow?" But we went outside because you made me and you told me that it would be really fun. My mom caught us and now she is outside too, playing in the snow. The snow angels are still in the snow and they will be there until it melts.
Hcormack4,
That book sounds good!
tfowler3,
That book is good, that I have heard.
The book I am reading is Love and peaches. The author is Jodi Lynn Anderson and I am on page 111.
Birdie's perspective:
I can't belive Enrico just engaged to me! I don't know what to say. So I just opened my mouth but then I forgot to breathe! I told myself to take deep breathes. Once I finally got that under control, I moved my head up and down and I said yes.
Hcormack4,
That sounds tough on Leo.
sdeemer2,
That is a really good book!
journal 9th grade slays page 135 by heater brewe
i just kissed the most beautiful girl in school and found out sh liked me.that was awesome and i cant wait to see my uncle and go to russia. i wonder how vikas like and how he will act because im kinda worried he wont like me.i need to practice on being more secret about what i am. i have eddie after me and i know it and he might catch me and tell the whole school what i am and then the world. but i dont think anyone will believe him anyways.my worst worry isnt him though but the slayer....
sdeemer2 is it a little girl
imehan4 funny name for a book
sdeemer2,
That soundsd like a really good book.
lmehan,
That sounds like a pretty interesting girlie book.
The book I am reading is called Gone. The author of my book is Michael Grant and I am currently on page 100.
Astirds Perspective:
Oh brother, stuck in school, no teahers or adults, and crazy students surrounding me. I guess it's up to me Astrid the genius to save the day, yet again. Ugh, why can't school just be a time to learn and study, all about work? That would be like a blast in a building!
My book is Tom Clancys Endwar by david michaels and im on page 20.
vat's perspective:
Im tired,Hungry,And my best friend zach just died. Im sprinting to the helicopter to mann the gatling guns considering we just got chased by a squad of spetsnaz rifleman. Only me captain,and mike are alive. Now we have to head back to HQ to interrorgate the "Russian".
Hcormack4, Is lost hero part of the percy jackson series?
tfowler3, Are you reading the entire Harry Potter series?
My book is The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. I am going to do Carter’s perspective. Well this is definitely not what I wanted. First off, my dad dies while trying to bring back my dead mother. Second, I have to be with my sister that hates me 24/7. Third, my sister and I have to save the world from a growing terror of an evil God named Set. Not to mention, every friend I makes is so not normal.
Trey,
Have you read any other books in that series? Personally, i like the last one the best, and once you read it I am pretty sure you will understand why.
Brandon,
Tom Clancy is also a series of games right? Isn't one games Rainbow Six Lockdown?
My book is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I am currently on page 127.
Montag's perspective:
I know it seems strange for a fireman to want to read books instead of burning them, but I can't help it. I am sick of living in a world where no one thinks for themselves. I need books. I can't call my life happy if all I do is what the government tells me to do. I am sick of burning books and the buildings they are hidden in. I want to read them and I can't let anyone find the books I have hidden.
tfowler3,
That would suck for Harry, by the way isn't that only 4 sentences?
sdeemer2,
My mom would say that to me if I was outside in the snow. Hope you enjoy the book!
The name of my book is Wings. The author is Aprilynne Pike. I am currently on page 295.
Laurel's perspective: Did this really just happen? One minute David and I are sitting in my kitchen eating fruits and vegies, then the next we are at the hospital because my dad is dying. Then all of a sudden a man wants to buy my mom's house and hires to trolls to get rid of David and I by throwing us in the river...
sdeemer2,
Your book sounds very interesting!
Kmedero2,
It sounds like Astrid is fun of himself.
My book is Avalon High by Meg Cabot. I'm on page 205. My main character is Ellie Harrison.
Ellie's Perspective~
Will is so good looking today. I wonder why when I met him it felt like I knew him from somewhere. He always stands up for bullied kis and is valedvictorian and prom king. I think i'm in love. When will he find out about his girlfriend and best friend cheating? I'm too scared to tell him....
Hcormack4,
That was a really good perspective paragraph! :)
tfowler3,
I love that series and your paragraph is really accurate :)
I am reading Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O' Dell. I am on page 67; the main character's name is Karana. If Karana wrote a journal entry it would probably look like the following.
Today was such an overwhelming day. Why is death surrounding me? I can't get away from these deaths. I miss my father; I miss my brother; I even miss my sister. I wonder if she ever got to the island. I hope the people on the ship are safe. It is lonely on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. I wish that the ship would return soon to come and rescue me. My sister and I are the only two relations still alive. I hope that I can see her again soon. Fate had got the best of my little brother, Ramo, earlier today. When I found him he was surrounded by a pack of hungry wild dogs. I will burry him soon. I hope things get better.
- Karana

Jonah has a feeling that Chip likes his sister. They get a card as what the think is a joke but it really leads to more information about “stuff.” They are both really out going but Chip is more of a class clown. To know about “stuff” read the book
The book i am reading is Fat Kid Rules The world i am on page 120. Just got home school was crappy like always my shirt got ruined when someone tripped me at lunch.

I'm starting to believe we will be able to perform our upcoming gig at The Dump in a couple weeks. With the help of the Smack Metal Puppets drummer Ollie i cuold easily lear to play the drums.
We have been in the underland almost a month now and are going ot die. We have been searching for a cure to the plague fortold in the prophecy of the warmbloods. The prophecy says that every warmblood in the underworld shall die from this plague including my mother, but I can't let that happen. I have survived two prophecies and I think I can survive this one.Then again after finding the cure it was eaten by thousands of man eating ants and now EVERYONE in the underland includiong my MOM is left to die. But now that I think about it the prophecy says that the cure lies in the cradle which means the cure must be where the plague started.....Well after telling the group that came with me to find the cure we now flying back to where the plague started to see what the prophecy beholds.

tfowler3
i love those books.
My book is called Eragon, by Christopher Paolini. I am currently on page 484.
Eragon:
Why me? I never knew my mom, Saphira chose me as her rider, Garrowed died because I wasn't there to save him, Brom died protecting me, we have to avoid all towns because of me, Brom was really a rider, the sword Brom gave me belonged to a vicious murderer, and so on. Right now we have to cross the Hadarac Desert. The elf that Murtagh and I rescued isn't responding to anything so we will have to try something tonight. Also I fully regret having to sell Cadoc because he was such a great horse. Well I have to go because Murtagh is giving me a weird look, which is probably because I am taking so long to write this and that isn't my fault because I just learned to read and write.
hcormack4
I really want that book for my birthday!!!
tfowler3
I haven't read that book or seen that movie in a long time.
I am reading Roar by Emma Clayton. I am currently on page 127.
Ellies's Prespective: Okay so, today i was trying to escape some crazy 180 year old dude, by taking a a big aircraft. He had the nerve to send a dozen pod fighters after me.

Hcormack4,

I am reading a book called "philippa fisher's fairy God sister" by Liz Kessler.I am on page 100.
Philippa's perspective;
Wow!I can;t believe my best friend left me. She was more happier to have a new house and more farming land, than to be with me. She left with a big bright smile on her face as if this didn't mean anything to her.
As a new day began and Monday morning was here, all I was able to do was look at the empty chair that Charlotte sat in everyday and drop down some tears. She was the most amazing friend anyone could ever ask for!

My book is "Fable Haven: Keys to the Demon Prison" by Brandon Mull. I finished the book. Kendra's perspective;
Dear diary,
I've been feeling a lot of pain lately. It's mostly my fault too. My parents think I'm dead, they probably think Seth is diseased like me. Or they have nothing else to think because they're being beaten senseless!
abonacci,
When you finish Eragon read Eldest, then Brisingr.
jwang,
That sounds like an epic book!
I haven't choose a new book yet, so I'll do my old book.
Book: Bourne Identity
Author: Robert Ludlum
Page: Finished
I don't know where I am. Well, I'm on a ship on the Mediterranean sea but I don't know my surroundings. I'm confused and hurt. The generous men pulled me up from the sea with bullet holes in me. I hope today we can try to figure out who I am. Did I mention I can't remember anything?
~ Hcormack4 Cool book
~ tfowler3 Harry Potter are long books
Sence i have finished the book i do not have a page number. The title of my book was "The Secret Agent On Flight 101" and the author is Franklin Dixon. March 4, 1997. So far no leads on the case. We have one clue which is a note tell us not to proceed on the case, but coming from a person who never gives up and always works to the best of my ability. Tonight i am going to visit the scene to look for more clues.
tfowler3,
Don't forget to comment twice
hcormack4,
sounds like a cool book
My book is Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn. I am on page 96.
Michael,
Today my sister claims that Helen (ghost) wrecked my room and all my things, but I know it was Heather. The way she is always talking about how much she hates my love for science and nature. I can't help that science and nature fascinate me. You would think after years of me keeping to myself and keeping my studies private, she would be pleased...But I guess not.
@tfowler,
I would think Harry's life would be hard:)
@bclark3,
Ooh a Russain...Must be good:)!!
My book is called Deeper by: Brian Williams. I am on page 115.
One perspective of the main character Sarah Jerome is that she is always tired of people complaining, and she wants to put it to an end.
I am tired of Will complaining! Even though I have to endure everything he does, I don't complain like a baby! Sometimes I wish he would just go away so I could be all alone, I'd get more work done that way. I just wish that he would man up, I mean I am the girl, and still I'm tough enough to not cry about everything. sometimes life just isn't the way it should be.
T Fowler sounds cool!
T Land sounds interesting.
I am reading the book Watcher in the Woods by Robert Liparulo. I am currently on page 2. ' Hey I am known as David King, I am 12 years old. So far I have no clue where i am. People are shooting at me, an explosion had thrown rocks and other unknown objects at my face. It shook me and knocked me off my feet. Bullets slinged right over my head, I am scared, alone, and have no idea if I am going to live or die.' The characters personality is tough, he is not giving up even though he is very scared. His major conflict is that he doesn't know where he is.
hcormack4,
your book sounds very interesting.
tfowler3,
your book sounds great, I've only seen the movie.
My book is called Eclipse. The author is Stephenie Meyers. I am currently done reading this book. Bella's perspective:

The book I am reading is "MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE" by Jeanne Betancourt and the page I am currently on "5".
Elizabeth Gaynor perspective:
Look like this year won't be so easy for me, my parents are pushing me to be the first in my class and it doesn't help that the top position held by Ben Lee. He is Chinese-american boy whom I'm trying to date. My good intentions are leaving my feeling feel angry. A tide of prejudice is sweeping my life. Spilling over into the community. Can I stem the flow of flowers by treating ignorantly what I knows to be right ?
Droller4.....
Wow that was very dramatic very cool!
tyeasmin2.....
That sounds like a girly book!
tfowler3 what he said for his book perspective: for some reason I find it interesting and I probably like it too.
My book is called The Time Machine, written by H.G. Wells. I have just finished the book. Anyway if I was the time traveler his perspective would be something like this:
It has been 3 weeks and I haven't seen my beloved machine to get me out of this place. The natives haven't showed any sign of intelligence so I guess I am stuck here for a while longer, might as well make the best of it.
tfowler, Thats actually pretty good.
mbooth3, So descriptive.
My book is called Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen. I have finished the book. Here is my journal entry.
"3/7/10
Yesterday is kind of a blur to me. All I remember was that I had a really big fight with my sister. We were fighting about my mom. She told me that she was lying to me my whole life. I didn't believe her. When Nate drove me to school I was a mess. I left school and went over to James house. I got very drunk and I was left in the woods. Thats when everything went to a blur. WAIT! I remember I woke up in Nate's car. I mean I really hope he doesn't think were friends. I don't even know if I want a friend. He was really nice though. When I got home, Jamie went crazy. I mean.. JAMIE! Who ever though he would yell at me! He was talking about college and how I'm not going to get a college degree acting like that. My sister was really nice though. She washed my hair and helped my change and she stayed sitting on my bed until I went to sleep. Well I really got to go. Nate is going to pick me up. Bye! "
sdeemer2,
That sounds like a really good book! I might have to read that!
tfowler3,
That is such a good book!!!

Dear Journal,
I found you in the ocean, you were floating around. I guess someone brought you on the plane and they did not expect to die form the plane crash. We have been on this island for 13 days I think. Right now we are in a secret labatory that an evil scientist Dr.Franklin owns. I am really scared of what is going to happen to Miranda and I. I am glad she is here with me because she gives me hope. If she was not here with me, I would go crazy and when I am turned into an animal, I would howl like that crazy cat we saw at Dr. Franklin's zoo. I am just going to keep hope and not let this mad scientist experiment on us until we are die.
Hopefull,Semi
My book is called Dr.Franklin's Island, by Ann Halam. I am done with the book now.

The only thing that matters is that I make sure no one suspects that I am not from here. I almost got caught but I will be careful for now on.
My book is called Harriet the spy. The author is Louise Fitzhugh. I am on page 134.
Harriet's perspective: Wow this is such a great day. I lost my best friend. I miss Ol Golly I know she was my nanny but I miss her so much.

I am reading the Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I am on page 15 in the book. Febraury 1, 1997 is the day that I met Will. I met him at the carnival and he spilled soda all over my shirt. He is a volleyball player so he was backing up to get the ball and my soda spilled all over me. He offered to buy me a new shirt but I said no and bought it myself. The moment I looked into his eyes was when I fell in love with him. He is the best man I have ever met in a while and I hope it works out between us.
tfowler3,
Sounds like a good book.

Im Percy Jackson and I have a crazy life. Through my first twelve years of my life everything has been somewhat normal. But one day everything changed. We were at the Greek and Roman History Muesuem and I was attacked by a fury or monster from the underworld. My life from then until now has been forever changed.

@Twilliams
That journal entry is phenomenal.
@lkarstom
Your books always seem so depressing.
The current book i am reading is The Roar.
By: Emma Clayton
If i was the main character i wouldn't be afraid of being in space and escaping from a ship that in owned by an evil man who wants to kidnap you. In the book she's not afraid of almost anything cause she's been through so much violence. She's use to it all.
I am reading Dairy Queen by. The author is Catherine Gilbert Murdock I am on page 100. D.J's perspective: Today was terrible, Nates moving out. Now I have to do all the work. Now Brian, the new guy keeps showing up at my house, my mom is trying to get me to go out with him.
Dear journal,
I'm tired of people treating me like I don't know any better. They think i'm some type of witch jus because I study voodoo. Voodoo isn't witch craft its from our ancestors, and they have to respect that.
PS: I'm really starting to feel liek maybe me and jeremy can take another chance.
My book is called culture clahs by L. divine.
hcormack4,
The character in your book sounds really cool.
