I am reading Harriet the Spy. the author is Louise Fitzhugh. I am on page 134. The theme of my book is No matter how hard life gets hold on and everythikng will be better. For example Harriet's nanny left and she thinks it the end of the world. But, it hasn't stopped Harriet from moving foward. No matter where life takes her.
The book I was reading is I Am Number Four By Pittacus Lore and I finished the book. I think the Theme of this book is life is hard but you should keep trying. In the book the main character John Smith has to move around a lot because he is from a different world. Even though he has to switch homes he still tries to have a normal life by going to school. In the end he thinks that moving to Ohio was the best thing that has ever happend to him.
aadusiaw3,
That book sounds cool.
I am reading Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. I am currently on page 54. The theme of my book is that even if your not related to someone they can still be considered your "family." For example, the main characters in my story are not related by blood, except for two of them, but they consider themselves family. The oldest, Max, takes care of them. When the youngest, Angel, gets kidnapped she makes it her misson to rescue her.
mbooth3,
I heard that the Maxium Ride series is good.
gfleck3,
That seems like a good book and it has a good theme.
aadusiaw3,
Was Harriet really close to her Nanny?
The name of my book is Deeper by Brian Williams. I am on page 189. I believe the theme of my book is don't let your fears get in the way of your goal. Because it will only temporarily stop you from completing it. One example would be when Will thinks about trying out for a sports team, but is overwhelmed by all of the pressure and doesn't tryout. Later on he regrets not trying out because the same team won the state championship, and he knew he could have been apart of their triumph.
Gfleck sounds cool.
M booth sounds interesting
My book is "The Red Pyramid"by Rick Riordan. I think the theme from my book is partnership. I think this because through partnership you may have some that you do not like as a partner, but in the book Carter and his sister are partners and they hate each other. Even through hate they learn to like each other (not in a weird way), which make them work good together. In life it is important to work good together even in the toughest situation.
Dakota,
I have heard of that book is it any good?
Mbooth3,
Ihave heard that the maximum ride series is amazing what have you to think of it?
eigth grade bites by heather brewer and on page 148 . Its hard to find a lesson. I would say dont stop trying and dont be shy. Hold your ground no matter how big of a problem. Think before you act. I think those are the life lessons because he always holds his ground even after two bullies 3 times his size beating him up. He still fights back. And dont be shy because if he wasnt he would of met the girl he really likes already by now.
droller4 i could relate to that guy
tland4 yay that sounds awesome
I am reading The secret Language of Girls by France O'Roork Dowell. I am on page 124. I think the theme in this book is know matter what your friends do to you keep going with your life. I think that because Kate and Flannery were Marylin's best friends and now they dont talk to Marylin. One day Kate and Flannery just decited to not talk to Marylin when she got on the bus. They didnt want anything to do with here.
mbooth3,
Sounds good!

Was it a good book? It sounds like it.
The book I am reading is Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. I am on page 52. I think the theme of this book is that love comes in all forms and in all people. For example the Cuplet's and the Montague's have been enemies many years. What were the odds that the two youngest from each of the families would fall in love? I have not finished the book yet but we all know the ending, so I guess another theme could be things don't always have a happy ending.
Maximum Ride---The Angel Experiment
By:James Patterson----.----.----.--
Pg:75:///:////:///:////:
I think the theme of my poem is you don't have to be blood related to be a family. The main Character Max is 99% human and 1% bird. The Angel experiments aren't suppose to live past 6 years old, but all of them have. Now Max takes care of her family and to her they are her family. She will always protect them. In the book Its says that "No Matter what people say their my family."
KBroome04.....
That is such a classic story and i enjoy the theme very much!
gfleck3....
Isn't thet a movie? Anyway awesome theme.
The book I am currently reading is called Princess Diaries. I am just now starting and I am on page 13. The author is Meg Cabot. I believe the theme of my book is that family is important and your identity can ALWAYS surprise you. An example of the theme is that when Mia finds out that she is the Princess of Genovia she is surprised and doesnt believe it. She though her grandmother was mistaken.
aadusiaw3,
I saw that movie!
gfleck3,
That is the movie that is out in theaters right? I heard it wanst very good.
aadusiaw3
I think I have the book Harriet the Spy in my closet! Is it a good book? Maybe I'll read it next.
DRoller04
I think that's a good book to be reading if the goal is to not let your fears get in the way of achieving your goal. Is Deeper motivating?
I want to say the theme of my book would probably be: always expect the unexpected.I say this because in the first book of the series this boy and his little sister are washing clthes in the apartment laundry room. As the little girl,boots(1yrs. old),dropped a ball it went into a grate in the wall and as she bent down to get it her brother,Gregor, realized she was falling in.As he grabbed her they both fell into the grate and began falling thousands of feet bellow the earth.This is why I believe the theme of my book is always expect the unexpected .In other words be ironic or expect irony.

aadusiaw3,
Your book sounds really interseting and your theme really does match the book.
gfleck3,
your book sounds really interesting and your theme really matches the book.Hope you enjoy the rest of it.
The title of the book I am reading now is About Her written by a Japanese named Yosamoto Banana. I am on page 78. The theme of the book, I believe, is that this world is worth to live in. I guess the theme by some sentences in the book: "I am a human being who was a dream of my father and mother. I, being alive, am somebody's dream which has come true."
I am currently reading a book called, Gone. The author of the book is Michael Grant. I am on page 200. The theme of my book is expect the unexpected. For example, everybody thought that they where going to have a normal day. But, in the middle of class poof the teachers and adults where gone. Nobody ever expected them to poof away.
gfleck3,
That sounds like a very good book. Isn't there a movie based off that book?
Kbroome4,
That sounds like a very romantic book.
The book im reading, is the marine corps. Writen John Smith. Im on page 65. The theme in my book war and action because the marines are apart of the military. Also I think it could be teaching because it tells about the history.
The book i am curently reading is How I Nickey Flynn Got A life And A Dog.I just got done with the book.The author is Art Corriveau.
The theme of my is try as hard as you can.The reason i think that is nickey tries as hard he can to get to his dad.
gfleck3, Is that a good book?
aadusiaw3
Sounds cool
esmith2, Is that book any intresting.
gfleck3
i might read that
The book i am reading is Harry potter and the Half Blood prince i think the theme of this story is the importance of friend ship. i feel its that way beacuse harry and every one go through alot of stuff. i think if it werent for his friends harry could possibly be dead by now.If harry was to die i think that all the other wizzards would die as well beacuse he protects a majority of them.
aadusiaw3, do you like dat book?
gfleck3, your book sounds verry intresting i would like to read it
The book i am currently reading is The Roar.
By:Emma Clayton
The theme of my book is to always be aware of what is going on around you because you never know when someone is right there to get you.
In the book one of the main characters gets captured twice.
To Mbooth
The title maximun ride sounds like a cool name.
To Tland
That sounds like a lot of married couples.
My book is The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: 9th Grade Slays. Im on page 45. I think the the me of the book is to never give up, no matter the surcomstances.
My book is Tom Clancy Endwar by David Michaels. Im am on page 68. The theme of this book is shockingly never give up. You would not expect this from a science-fiction war book. One of the senteces is "Hope is lost, we are surrounded by spetznaz." "But, I cant give up."
gfleck3, I think thats a movie.
mbooth,They made another sequal to that book called angel.
The name of my book is Cryptid hunter. I am on page 70.The author is Roland Smith.The theme of the book is anything can be real or fake...i think.
The book I was reading is Twilight. The author is Stephanie Meyer and I finished the book. The theme of this book is love conquers all. It was love at first when Bella saw Edward for the first time. Even though Edward is a vampire and he's not allowed to be with a human, he brakes the rules anyways just to be with Bella.
gfleck3,
I heard the book and the movie was pretty good.
sdeemer2,
That book was really good. I kind of want to read it again.
I think that the theme of my book has to do with equal rights. My book is Among the free by Margaret Peterson Haddix and I'm on page 58.
For example third children are mistreated and don't have the same rights as others.they are treated badly and accused of eating everything basically
The theme of my book is never judge a book by it's cover. Vlad is a teenage vampire who doesn't have many friends because of the way he looks.(goth)He tries to show people that he is nice despite the fact he may look and act a little diffrent than the rest of his peers.
I am reading the book Vlad Todd: Tenth Grade Slays. It is by Hether Brewer. I am on page 108.
gfleck3 aint that a movie too
mbooth3,
I love those books! They are really good.
droller wassupp homie hah sounds koo
The book I am reading is Love and Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson. I just finished my book. The theme of my book is no matter what life gives you, go for it and never regret it. This theme goes for all of the book. For example, Murphy still loves her ex boyfriend and she goes back to talk to him and then everything falls in place.
ebowers4,
I heard those book are really good!
sdeemer2,
My cousin read that book. She actually recomended it to me, but I never read it. Is it good?
sdeemer2,
I love that book!
I am reading the book Watcher in the Woods by Robert Liparulo. I am on page 36. The theme of my book so far is no matter what situation you get yourself into, there will almost always be one small way out. I say this because the main character in my book is teleported into another place where he has no idea where he is. He almost gets killed by gun shots, bombs and exploded peices of everything. He gets out just in a split second of time to escape with his life.
aadusiaw3,
Your book sounds very moving. I hope you enjoy it.
gfleck3,
your book sounds cool, very interesting.
I kinda liked aadusiaw3 poem and what he/she said about it .
i dont really know the theme of my book yet but as of right now it looks like she is trying to convince her mom that she needs a job. she just recenly got offered a job and she doesnt know what her mom is going to say. (keep in mind she is only 14 years old). the title of my book is my almost epic summer by adele griffen and i am on page 14.
aadusuiaw3
cool
gfleck3,
awesome
I am reading catching fire by suzanne collins. Iam on page 76. the theme of me book is loyalty and love. I think the person that wrote it is kinda trying to say that the government can do what ever it wants if they keep it under raps. I also think that the auther is trying to tell the reader that the U.S. is far from anything at this extent.
kmedero2
Is gone a really good book? I dont know if its as good as it sounds.
gfleck3
That's a good theme.
mbooth3
That sounds like a good book
@gfleck3
thats a cool book
@Droller4
That book series is gret
The book i am reading is called Bridge to Terabithia by Kathrine Paterson. The theme in this book is thst life can be so much easier when you have a friend and imagination. First Jess' life is upsetting but then he meets leslie and she changes his life completley.
aadusiaw3
Sounds like a good book.
gfleck3
I want to see that movie.
My book is Eldest by Christopher Paolini. I'm on page 113. One of the themes is while you grow more powerful at rapid speeds, your enemy grows at even more intense speeds. While Eragon was learning a slew of new sword skills and spells, Murtaugh had was getting eldunaris under the training of Galbatorix. Kinda unfair. An eldunari is a dragon's "spiritual heart". Eldunaris basically generate and transfer energy to the wielder.
jfuentes,
I've heard that book was good. Lots of people have read it. Maybe I should to.
sosman,
The movie's great, I'll go watch it now!
The book I am currently reading is called Eldest by Christopher Paolini. I am on page 529 out of 1016 pages. The theme of my book could be many things, but the one that stands out to me the most is to never give up hope. This is because eragon must defeat the most powerful man in all of Alagaesia. Even with his hurt back, where a shade named Durza slashed open his back, Eragon still trains to prepare for his battle with Galbatorix. Eragon never gives up hope even when he is in major pain.
tkeatly
Nice book, and you are rereading it if you know that much and you are only on page 113! But still Great Book!!!
gcosta3
I would love to read that series! It sounds Great!
Gcosta3,
I just noticed this and wanted to say this : You little copier that is exactly what i put :P
I am reading Eclipse. Eclipse is written by Stephenie Meyer. I am currently done with this book. The theme is Bella feels between her love for Jacob and her love for Edward. It is a book about choices and about how we must accept the consequences of our actions.
gfleck3,
That book sounds horrible, no offense.
aadusiaw3,
Isn't that also a movie?
I have not been able to get a new book yet but my old book is Dr.Franklin's Island by Ann Halam. I am finshed with the book and the theme is Having hope no matter what you go throw. I think this is the theme because the three main characters all have hope they are going to return home even though everyone thinks theiy died.
AAdusiaw3, that book should interesting and fimilar. Is that examble the main idea of the book?
gfleck,thanks for posting that because it sounds like a book I might read or end up reading.
I am reading a book called Waiting for you. It's by Susane Colasanti and i am currently on page 38. The theme of my book is you can do or be anything if you put your mind to it. An example from the book that makes me think this is when Marisa says she had a depressing year last year and she wants to change. So when school starts she goes into 10th grade with a new attitude and makes a FEW new friends.
aadusiaw3,
That theme is true because i know personally sometimes in life i just want to give up but i fight through it because i realized in life once one door closes another one always opens. Even if you have to walk down a hallway or go to a different floor to find that door.(pic(nora) read this comment i made it for you :))
gfleck3
Once again that is true(your theme)
The book I am currently reading is Dear John written by Nicholas Sparks. The page I am currently on is 104. There are mutiple themes in my book, but the one theme that they are trying to get across in the part of the book I am reading now is, once you let someone go you'll never get them back. For example in the book when Savanna tells John that they shouldnt see each other anymore, and then John doesnt want anything to do with her .
aadusiaw3
Sounds like a good book.
mbooth3,
I want to read that is it good?
The book i am reading is called October Sky by Homer Hickam. I am on page 50. The that i think of is to use the talents that you have. The main character is smart and builds rockets but gets picked on. His brother is athletic and plays football and he has lots of friends.
gfleck3
The movie was very good.
droller4
That's a good lesson for everyone to learn.
I am reading a book called *The Outsiders* it is by S.E Hinton. I am on page 45. I think the theme to this book is to never give up and go on with life. The reason I say that is because in the book the greasers always get put down by the Socs, but no side ever gives up. I also say it because in this book there is always a lot of fight and someone is aways getting killed. Through out the book one of the brothers get killed, but the rest of the gang keep on going they try not to remember what happend and try to live life the best way they can.
Aadusiaw3,
Cool we have the same theme for our books!:)
gfleck3.
We almost have the same theme for our books! enjoy it!:)
I am reading The Third Eye by Lois Duncan. I am currently on page 211. The theme of my book is that Karen has a psychic gift and how she uses it for the good of the comunity. This is because she can see Bobby even though no one else can. She doesn't know how she can see him.
tirwin4,
Your book sounds good.
aadusiaw3,
Your book osunds interesting. I might read that next.
I am reading Kira, Kira by Cynthia Kadohata. I am on page 240.The theme of this book is family strength. This is because Katie loves her family. Katie risks a lot for her family. Her older sister, Lynn, becomes ill with lymphoma and her family starts falling apart so Katie must become strong and help keep her family together.
I am reading A Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L'Engle. Im on page 143. The theme of my book is being different doesnt always mean you're dumber than other kids. For example Meg's teacher sent Meg to the principle's office because she coundn't answer a history question that she forgot. Just because she acts different then other kids.
lmehan4,
Thats a good theme.
kbroome4,
Interesting book you've chosen.
I just finished the book The lightning Thief. I think the theme of the book is to overcome your fears. In the book Percy Jackson has to face up to monsters and demons. He also has to fight Ares the God of War and Hades the God of the Underworld. And he also had to fight Medusa. He really had to face his fears.
@llindsay
That book sounds like all the other books you've read.
@Cmazza
That sounds like a creepy book.
The book that i am currently done reading is "The Secret Agent on Flight 101" by Franklin W. Dixon. I think the theme of this book is that you can not trust anyone. An example from the is when the hardy boys catch the bad guy Mr. James who was actually "on their side" but when the hardy boys caught him in action Joe said "you back stabbed us how could you". In the end it turned out that Mr. James was just trying to keep the Hardy boys away from the truth.
Droller,
I have heard of that book is it good?
gfleck,
WOW interesting book
My book is authorized of the fantasy classic. The Book I'm reading is "The Lord Of The Rings" by J.R.R Tolkien.I am on the current page 22. Theme of my book is When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution for example, the Lord swarmed out to conquer all middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggled deep into Mordor, seat of Lord's power. To defeat the dark lord, the accursed Ring Of Power had to be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom.
The book i am reading is "Into the wild" by: Sarah Beth Durst and i am currently on page 20. The theme of my book so far is magical. Julie (the main character) takes an adventure into the wild and finds all these creatures of all sorts from other fictional sorties. All in one. Julie is excited about this adventure and she does this adventure to save her family... This is fictional because she has all these magical creatures (the theme) when in real life she could save her family.
hfundenburg4,
I've heard that book is interesting and your theme seems to match what i have heard about the book. Enjoy!
kmedero2,
Your book sounds good and i want to read it.
The book I am reading is Diary Of a Wimpy Kid. I am on page 96. The theme of my book is going through middle school and or high school is not always a breeze. Such as when an older brother or sister of yours (in my book older brother) spreads a very bad rumor around your school. It will keep spreading like a virus! But, you will most likely try to stop it. Just like Greg tried to do in my book.
@gfleck3 Your book sounds good.
@Droller4,
Never heard of the book "Deeper" is it good?
My book is called "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." The author is C.S. Lewis and I'm on page 10. The theme of my book is that you can always use your imagination. For example, when the four kids are at the new house and they don't know what to do. They play hide-n-seek and Lucy, the youngest girl, finds a wardrobe and she hinds in it. She then enters the world of Narnia. She uses her imagination a lot and that is the theme.
Rstraub2,
I love that book!!!!
mbooth3,
I have to start reading that book!
I am reading An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. I am on page 120. The theme of this book is about finding yourself. After being dumped by 19 Katherines, Colin feels worthless. He is a child prodigy and doesn't know which way to turn.
aadusiaw3...
That book sounds motivational.
mbooth3,
That book sounds awesome!
My book is The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I am on page 214. The theme of my book is love conquers all. An example for the theme is when Will and Ronnie meet they fall in love. They go through hard times in the book but they find a way to love eachother at the end.
aadusiaw3,
I have heard of that book.
dmcneil3,
That book sounds interseting.
I am reading Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. I am on page 54. The theme of my book is "Fight for what you believe in." This quote applies to my book because the main character, Opal, Wants to keep the dog she found in the store. She named the dog after the store, "Winn-Dixie." Yet, her dad won't let her keep him. But she keeps fighting...And hopefully she gets to keep him. (Yes, I have sent the movie so I know what happens.)
@aadusiaw3,
That is a very good point:)
@gfleck3,
That's a really good point:) Was it a good book? I might read it!
I'm currrently reading culture clash. It's by L.divine and its apart if the drama high series, and i am currently on page 186. The theme of my book i think would
The book i'm currently rading is called culture clash. The aurthor is L.divine And im on page 186. I think the theme of my book would be to follow your beleifs. I say this because in the book most of the people in the book pick on jayd because of her beliefs and practices. Still she stands strong and doesnt back down.
aadusiaw3,
I think we should all follow this theme to achieve in life.
sdeemer2,
I think I should grab that book, it sounds nice.
mbooth3..
What are you talking about i didnt copy you! were reading the same freeking book its the only theme!
The book I am reading is Found by Margaret Peterson. I am on page 282, the theme is that other people might know about your life more than what you thought.
The book I am reading is called Vladimir Tod: eighth grade bites. The author of the book is Heather brewer. I am currently on page 46.
To me the theme of the book is accept who you are. I think that because in the book it says how sometimes he wished he was a normal boy. When in reality he is a vampire.He can do some things that most kids can't do. But somehow he still wishes he could be normal.
gfleck3
the movie looks great. I hope the book is too
My book is called Mystery of the Bamboo Bird, by Carolyn Keene. I am on page 11. I think the theme of the book is to think of others before yourself. An example to show this is when Louise just wakes up at 3am and smells smoke, instead of her just letting the girls who hate her die, she saves all of the girls at the Starhurst school.Another is when Louise attempts to save the new girl even if she has to run through the fire.
mbooth3, Is that like Maximum Ride?
gcosta3, Your reading the same book as megan! Whose doing the project on it?
aadusiaw3: Seems like a cool book
kyoung2: I might read that book
The book I am reading is Dairy Queen. The author is Catherine Gilbert Murdock, I finished the book. The theme of my book is to not care what other people say and to do what you think is right. In the book some guys kept telling her that she would never make the team because she is a girl and she is weak. There is also a lot of places in the book were people pressured her to do something, but she did what she thought was right.
Sdeemer2~
Your book sounds good.
Rstraub~
I love that book!
I'm reading Ghost in the Machine by Patrick Carman. I am on page 7. The theme of my book is to take chances. Ryan is taking chances when he needs to find out what the Dregde is doing. Him an his friend Sarah find this machine and now are finding the mystery it has.
aadusiaw3,
That sounds really intersting
gfleck3,
that book sounds cool
I am reading House of Dark Shadows by Robert Liparulo. I'm on page 129. The theme is don't judge a book by it's cover. The main character Xander and his family move into a huge new house. At first he thinks his family moving is the worst thing that ever happened to him, untill he saaw how big the house was. Then he decided he could like it. Then wierd things begin happening. Now he regrets ever leaving the city.
aadusiaw3,
Isn't that a movie on Disney Channel?
mbooth3,
That was one of the best books I've ever read. (:
The boook I'm reading is called "Lawn Boy," by Gary Paulsen. I'm currently done with the book. I think the theme of my book is realitic fiction. I say this because in my book something happened that could really happen in real life. Waht happened was that a little got a gift from his grandmother and started making money off of the gift. It was a lawn mower.
@ aasusiaw,
Your book sounds very very interesting.
@ gfleck3,
Your book sounds wonderful.
I was reading a book named Telling Christina Goodbye by Lurlene McDaniel. I finished the book in one day and it was very addicitng. I could not put the book down because it was soo good. I think the theme of my book is "small things mean a lot in th end." I think this because out of the four people who were in the car only three lived to tell what happened, BUT one was in a coma, one can't remember the key part of what happened and one is not telling EVERYTHING that happened. Tucker, Christina's boyfriend, was driving the car when they got into an accident.
llindsey3,
LAMICAH your theme is kindf how I feel. I'm gonna finish 8th grade with a new attitude and a different mindset.
twilliams3,
See Terrence your book tells my legacy. YOu should expect the unexpected and stop thinking that there's a catch to my niceness.
The Book I am Reading for extra credit, is Honey,I Love.By Eloise Greenfield. Page number 32.
The theme of my book is Love. Many people think that love is when you love something.In this book Eloise
Show that she loves almost everything that has a big great positive impact in her life. So she write these Metaphoric poems to show her Love for It, Him, Her or Etc!
gfleck3,
