I'm currently reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, I'm currently on page 50 or so. The main character of my book is Veronica, Ronnie for short. She is a 17 year old girl going to visit her fad for the summer. She is very sassy and quick witted, so far she seems unhappy and kind of dark. She feels like her dad just now wants to be a part of her life because she is getting older, and she seems mad she has to spend her summer with him.
mmcclendon5: I read that book in fourth grade, it's a great one and it helps you learna bout surivial and the main character is very smart!
The book I am reading is hatchet. Its about aboy who survives a plane crash.The book is realistic fiction.so far I ma liking the book.but I would not like to read more books by Gary Paulsen.
msimons- The first comment is reading that book too! It's a great book, enjoy the read:)!
The book i am currently reading is called the Black Duck by Janot Taylor Lisle. I am on page 60. The main charactor of the book is named Ruben Hart. He has a best freind that he is very close to named Jeddy Mckenzie. Ruebn is a very curious kid, and you can tell because in one part of the book, he said that he want/ needed to figure out what the dead body was doing a the shore, and why it disapeered.
JDewitt your book sound really interesting and cool
JDewitt, im probably going to read that book next, thanks for reccomending it!
The book that i am reading is Harry potter by JK Rowling the fist book in the series,yay!But the main character is of course Harry Potter and everyone has already seen the movies but im only 8 or 9 pages in and the movie is way off like how Harry gets to the house with his aunt uncle and cousin. So far Im likeing it very much and I intend to read the whole series before christmas.
mmcclendon5, I read that book in 3 grade and loved it , do you like it?
KFlanagan your book is good and I have read it before keep reading.
Im currently reading Monster by Walter Dean Myers, the main character in the story is Steve Harmon, he's twenty three and is currently waiting on trial. his peronality is some what positive and stuck up. Im currently on page 48 and i hope to read more of Walter Dean Myers books.
I am currently reading Dogsong, by Gary Paulsen and im on page 81. The main characters' name is Russel Susskit. He is a 13 year old boy living in the arctic with his dad. He lives in an eskimo village where there is little electricity. His mom left him a very long time ago to go to a different village. In the village there is a wise old man that is name Oogruk. Russel goes to see him and he tells Russel that he has to go on a long journey with the dogs. He accepts Oogruks' request and starts on his difficult journey.
mmcclendon, I have read that book a bunch of times and it was great. You should keep reading it you will like the book.
pdixon6, The harry potter books are always interesting and unique. I have not read any of them but people keep saying they are great. I hope you think so too.
I am currently on page 277 in The Calder Game, by Blue Balliett. Calder Pillay, 12 years old, is one of the main characters and has a bad habit of playing with his 'pentominoes'. (These are like dominoes, but are in the shape of the alphabet. For Example, he normally plays with the yellow 'W' shaped pentomino when he is nervous or excited.) He is a positive person with an imaginative mind. He is very curious when it comes to new things, and everything is new in England. When he disappears, his friends think: "He's probably on an investigation that's important, and just doesn't realize all of the adults are worried."
pdixon6;
I love the Harry Potter series. I could read them over and over and never get bored. I've read all of them about 5 times or more, and it takes a while to get through them. Good luck with finishing them before Christmas!
cwilliams6;
That book sounds like it would be fun to read. "Monster" just makes it sound like a good book to follow.
The book Im now reading is called Travel team by Mike Lupica.I am currently on page 200. The main characters name is Danny.What i would describe him as is a small confident achiever that wouldnt let any one destroy his dream of playing basketball so far i am likeing this book and I hope to read more of Mike Lupica's books.
@msimons6 Ive read the book hatchet also i really didn't like it either but that specific book is sort of sentimental.
I am currently reading Flush by Carl Hiaasen.I am on page 49.5. The main character is Noah Underwood who is (maybe)a 13 year old boy. He is trying to spread the word about the ship that his dad sank, that it was dumping sewage into the ocean from the keys. He has a younger sister named Abbey who's age so far is unknown.
JDewitt6:wha makes her so mad and why did she have to visit him? also you spelled dad fad.
msimons6: you could be right at that
I am currently on page 240 in the book: The Sorta Sisters, by Adrian Fogelin. I actually have two main characters: Anna and Mica. Anna lives in Tallahassee, while Mica lives all the way down south, in the Keys. Although they’ve never seen each other, they are the best of friends. But sometimes, life is hard at the other end. Mica finally goes back to public school, and meets a new friend, Colleen. But most days, she spends so much time with Colleen and her family that she forgets about her own family and Anna!! In fact her Aunt Emma quoted, “She’s not even sure that Mica deserves a friend like Anna, not the way she’s been acting lately.” So from that information, I kind of find Mica very selfish, and sort of stubborn. But Anna is confident and sometimes self-critical. Sometimes she writes about Miss J, her foster mom, and is always battling herself whether to erase it because she doesn’t want Miss J to find her selfish. And Miss J called Anna a born optimist, so that means Anna’s pretty confident in her work, and really smart.
pdixon6: I LOVE the Harry Potter series!!!! But if you want to finish the whole series before Christmas, I suggest you better start reading!!!!

pdixon6,
I love the Harry Potter series. I think that as you read, Luna Lovegood will remind you of a friend you know.
astine2,

EJones6 , I have read the Travel Team and its a very good book (:.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules By:Jeff Kinney
The main character is Greg Heffley. He is a 12 year old boy who is really self-centered. His personality to me is that he try to fit in to me and is really scare of things. “When I got to school today, everybody was acting all strange around me, and at first I didn't know WHAT was up.” I'm currently on page 119.
pdixon6, I like the Harry Potter books but there always to long for me
cwilliams6, I like that book but it was crazy to and i think there's a movie for it
The book that I am currently reading is Heaven Is For Real by Todd Burpo. I am currently on page #118. The main character in my book is Colton Burpo. He is a little kid who had some major surgery done and had died and gone to heaven for a couple of minutes. He is a sweet little boy who is always happy and is never complaining. He always relates to God when he is giving advice or telling people they should do this or do that. He doesn't ever complain about anything ever since he went to heaven and is always positive to anything bad that is going on.
mmcclendon5,
That book is a good book but can also be slow. Just keep moving through it and you will learn more about the character and you will enjoy it.
chunt6,
Flush is a really good book. What is your perspective of the main character. Can you relate to him in any way?
The book I am/was reading is called Forged By Fire by Sharon Draper. I am finished with this book. The main character is Gerald Nickelby. He is nice and has love for almost everyone except his mother. Gerald is polite, and has a very big heart. His heart is big because when he met his little sister for the first time, he had a bond with her like her knew her his entire life. He is her protector.
jdewitt6, the book your reading is very interesting. I just wanted to know if the book was just like the movie of different. The movie is very good.
astine2, your book seems very cool I think I might want to read it. This only depends on how big the book is though.
First of all my book is schooled by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 46. The main character in my book is really nerdy and geeky, and he is Capricorn Anderson. He likes star treck, star wars, and basically everything else nerdy that you can think of. Cap, for short is a lonely and sad boy and he doesn’t have that many friends. Also even though every body at his school treats him bad, he still is nice to them.
@Mmcclendon5 I’ve seen my classmates do I project on that book and I thought it was really good.
@Imartinez5 My sister is reading that book, right now and she never stops talking about how good the book is. So I am just saying that I think it’s a pretty good book.
I just started my book Perfect (Pretty Little Lairs) by Sarah Shepard. I am on page 300, Chapter37. I have 4 main charecters in my book. There names are Hanna. Hanna is very stubborn and snobby, she has a best friend Mona that she transformed into the most popular girls in the school with. Then there is Spencer. She is having trouble beliving that she killed Alison, their best friend that was just found dead, She is digging her own grave tring to get herself out of lieing. There is Aria and she has just got kicked out of there house and she is cheating on her boyfriend with her English teacher who just got aressted. Last there is Emily. She figured herself out now she knows that she loves her new friend who is a girl. Her parents finding out that she is gay isn't good for her. I am in love with this book and I hope to finish it today!
Nburke2...that sounds like an amazing book! He sounds like a lonley and boring boy. hahaha! I hope you like it!
lmartinez5... I love that movie. Bethany inspired me to start my Hobby in Surfing. I love her, she is such and amazing person. I think I will read that for the Biography part of this year! Have you watched the movie? If so did you enjoy it?
The book I am reading is The Last Song by Nicolas Sparks, and I am on page 86. The main character is Ronnie a teenager who is very stuborn and mad that she has to visit her dad. She is sweet to this little boy who she found crying in a crowd. She can be nice but usually has an attitude, like a chip on her shoulder. She is fighting with her dad and doesn't like being there.
anichols2
That book sounds great. It seems sad that he went to Heaven. I think I will look it up and read it.
Lmartinez5
I saw the commercials of that movie I have been wanting to watch it since i dont have the book and i dont know all the details of what has happened. I think that its amazing that she wasn't scared about what happened and she still surfs. I wouldnt be able to.
the book im am reading right NOW is called zomblie vallitine and it a good book SO far ... its a about a boy that see this new girl and thinks woh shes fine and he tries get with her.I would say that the main character in my book is troy "the new girl lover" and he sticks up for poeple when he sees somthing that is even close to bullingso i would say that he is very PROTECTIVE
I am currently reading "Waterfall" by Lisa T. Bergren. I am on page 126 The main character is Gabby. She goes back in mideval times and loses her mother and sister. Imagine being alone in mideval times?! She is very smart and can find a solution to any probled really quick. I really like my book and I think that anybody else who likes adventure books and history, would love Waterfll as well!

Kflangen6
that soumnd like a very interesting book:)
EMoody3
your character sounds like a lot of people I know. The book sounds extremely interesting and all I've heard about it is the main charatcter. I might read the book, and hopefully I will enjoy it.
The book I'm reading now is called Firestar's Quest, by Erin Hunter. The main character in this book is named Firestar (quite obvious by the name), and he is heroic, and rather brave. He is a natural born leader and fixes his mistakes easily. Even though he's rather over-dramatic in some views, he's generally calm and collected, serious-natured, and willing to help at any call.
The author of the book is Erin Hunter, and I am currently on page 76.
I am currently reading godless by Pete Hautmen.I am currently on page 147. The main character is Jason Bock.He is adventurous, bold,simple,creative and critical.An example of this is that he climbs a water tower and swims in the tank.
I have heard of hatchet and it sounds OK.
I like the example kflanagan6 said about the dead body.
I'm currently reading Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen, I am currently finished with the book and working on my mini project. The two main charaters in this book are Bryce and Julianna. Julianna is smart, shy, and the kind of person who stands up for what she believes in. For example when this sycamore tree was going to be cut down, she stayed up in that tree and wouldn't get down because she loved it and didn't want anything bad to happen to it. The second character is Bryce, who is friendly, outgoing, witty, and gulliable. For example somone told Bryce that Julianna's eggs(the one's her chicken laid) had salmonella and he didn't eat them even after the rest of his family did and nothing happened to them.
JDewitt
Who's your favorite character in the book?
kflanagan-
this book sounds interesting..do u like it so far??
JDewitt6: Even though we have to talk about books, I love The Last Song the movie!!!! But I hope you enjoy your book, too!!!
The book I am currently reading is The Dead And The Gone by Susan Beth pfeffer. The main characterof my book is Alex. He is a kind, gental person. He always brings the positive out of any situation. "Even though Mami and Papi aren't back yet that doesn't mean they are dead."
I love survival books mmcclendon5. They always intrest me.
astine2,awashington2,and emoody3 I agree they do seem long but also very good. It seems very bad how the Dursleys can treat a HUMAN BEING the way they treat Harry it is very cruel and I am suprised no one has told anyone about it. But I thought it was funny how Dudley complains about how he ONLY got 36 present that he thought, I only get like 2. But I am enjoying it very much.
The book i'm reading is Twilight by Stephenie meyer. the first main character and my personal favorite is Edward Cullen. Edward is a vampire but that's not so bad until he meets his true love ,Isabella Swan, who also happens to be a human that smells better to him than to any other vampire. in the inside edward is battling with himself because what he wants and what bella needs are two very different things. On the other hand on the outside he's trying to be normal for Bella but he's also cryptic and full of himself
The book im reading is called the cay. The main character is a twelve year old boy named Peter, his personality is hardheaded he dosnt listin to his mother and something bad happens
I'm reading A Corner of the Universe by Ann M. Martin. The main character in my book Hattie is very indepentant. She is also very shy and humble. Living in a border house helps her get over being so shy. My book sounds pretty boreing but its accually pretty good.
jdewitt6, your the main character is smart. another thing i like that book is that it had wonderful vocabulary. it didnt challenge me very much but its still a good book. what i liked about the book was that the ending excited me. im looking foward to reading more of gary pausens books
I am reading the book Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella and am currently on page 175. The main character is Rebecca Bloomwood who most definantly has many character traits. She has an big imagination and in a way has the mind of a kid. For example on page 167, Becky's freind Suze made pictures and the book quotes, "We map out Suze's career as a high-flying buisness woman...decide if she should wear Prada or Chanel when she goes to meet the queen." Becky is also a shopaholic (hence the title), shes extremely bubbly, and in a way a bit of an airhead.
emoody3: what do love about the harry potter books. or is it the author u like. can u relate to harry potter
astephens
I love that movie but I havent read the book yet.
Im reading the yearling. The main character is jody. Hes kind and caring but he loves hunting. Im on page 150 or something like that. Its really good so far. The author is marjorie kinnan rawlings.
I am reading Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman. I am on page 169.The man character is Natalie; she is a writer for her school newspaper. She’s kind of optimistic, and acts innocent. For example in the book on page 18, her two friends, Darcy and Chloe, are at Darcy’s and they are talking about Darcy’s boyfriend, “Don’t be so harsh” I say to Chloe, wrapping my arm around Darcy’s shoulder protectively. Chloe crosses her arms and says to me, “Go on…” “What?” “Isn’t this where you weave elaborate excuses for him?” Chloe imitates my voice. “He’s afraid of the passion he feels for you, Darcy! He can only love you openly when he’s stoned because that’s the only time he can deal with your bewitching power over him, blah blah blah.”
JDewitt6
Is the Last Song any good? I know that when I read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks that I really enjoyed it. So I was wondering if the Last Song is as good as The Notebook?
anicole2
that sounds like a pretty good book!
@MRichards5...
You forgot to mention that firestar is a cat! lol! anyway, my friend reads the Warriors series, and I started them too. I am more intersted in Harry Potter, but they were quite intersting...
-Potterfreak
The book I'm reading now is The graveyard book by Neil Gaiman and im on page 10. Since this book has different stories in them i have decided to "How Nobody Came to the Graveyard."The main charater is a man called Jack, he kills people for a living and he is very professional man and doesnt feel reileved till he gets the job done. He seems very cocky in his work, feeling like he could anything and everything.
I think I am going to stop reading Wterfall. I got kind of lost.
-potterfreak
I am currently reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. I am on page 29. So far I have learned only a little about the main character Roy. I have learned that he is a bit of a nerd and moves around quite a lot, he is very used to being the new kid and does not like it very much, he hates being pushed around by bigger kids, and he is very curious and will not leave something a lone until he figures it out.
The book I’m reading is the woods Harlan Coben and I’m on page 382. The main character is Paul Copeland he is probably strong minded about his work because he is the county prosecutor. So he is positive sensitive and a little shy he can’t open up to many people because of things that happened in his past. One reason I would say this is because he said “I see my father with that shovel tears streaming down his face I have never seen my father cry before not even when his own father died. Not even when he heard about my sister, Camille. But he was crying now. ” That’s why I think he is sensitive, shy, and positive.
kflanagan6 i read that book its really good so keep reading it gets even better.
Im reading a book on phsycology so there is no main character but its from the point of view of the author, Elizabeth Hall. Shes pretty open minded.The title is 'why We Do What We Do' and i am on page 120.
@jdeihl i have also read that book the pretty little liars series is great enjoy it! ;)
@mmcclendon5 i think about everyone has Hatchet. it's a great book it should be a classc along with To kill a mockingbird and Pride and prejudice.
@smasingil5 love that book but the movie was so sad it's not allowed in our house anymore. hahahaha
The main characters in Flipped are Bryce Loski and Julianna Baker. Bryce is a shy person who tends to care too much what people think. He will avoid Juli at any cost. Juli is more thoughtful, smart, and appreciative, and tends to look on the brighter side.
I am on page 42 and an example of Bryce would be (pg. 25)...
"I trucked up the hill, and as I got closer and saw what the men were holding, I figured out in a hurry what was making Juli refuse to come out of the tree. Chain saws. Don't get me wrong here, okay? The tree was an ugly mutant tangle of gnarly branches..."
Snetherlands5, I've heard of that but never really got into it... Is it good?
astephens5, I'm reading the same book! I saw the movie before I knew there was a book though so there were no real surprises when I was reading.
The book that i am reading i s "Among the Hidden" by Margaret P. Haddix. Luke is the main character,Luke is a 3rd child which means he's illegal. Luke is backward ,hesitant but a curious child.For example," He began waking up every morning in a cold sweat, thinking , maybe today . Do i dare? It rained three days in a row in October , He was almost relieved because that meant he couldn't go to the Sport family's house."I'm on page 63.
cgreek, Sounds like an interesting book. Maybe more detail about who is as a person would help but great job!
Msimons6, Whats the boy's name? From what i am hearing so far it sounds like a stimulating book. Also Gary Paulsen is a elegant writer.
My book is called The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and I’m on page 44. The main character is Nobody, Bod for short. He is not very smart and doesn’t know all lot about himself, he doesn’t even know his age. He is very curious about how he sees things and is sweet to the "people around him“. Also there is another man named Jack and he is trying to kill nobody, he is very cocky about his profession, but i do commend his patience and commitment.
tfried2 just wanted to know, why are you reading a book on pyshcology?
tgarrison2, is it like wolves or like a sled pack he traveled with?
I'm reading the 9th book in the Pretty Little Liars series, and as some of us girls who watch the TV show based on the books, know that there's not 1 main character; there's 4. We'll start with Spencer! Spencer's a very classy and I wouldn't use snobby, but she's the preppy girl out of the group. She's very into school. She's accepted into Princeton in the book! Next is Emily; Emily is very laid back and calm, but she's an excellent swimmer. Tons of scouts from colleges go and watch her in the book. She's the quieter one in the book, but she's really sweet and was the one that loved Ali the most. Now we move onto Aria! Aria is the very unique one in the group. She's outspoken, but also laid back at the same time. She also is always somehow in a relationship with a boy. Last but not least is Hanna. Hanna is the stylish, popular one of the group. She's a beauty and all the boys at Rosewood Day drool over her. She hates her new "family" and is dating Aria's brother, Mike.
crichardson2...Thank you I also read Twlight!I did not really get into it though. I can't read a long boook without getting bored!
bferguson2.. I love reading the books I just fly through them! I really like your comments on things you are so descriptive. I cna't wait till I get to read that book!
Snetherland5
Sounds pretty funny
kflanagan6,
That book was really weird but it was also really good. I read it like 2 years ago.
My books author is S.E. Hinton the book title is The Outsiders and I am on pg.4. My main charachter is Paul Newman. He is an nice boy. He loves his brothers and would do anything for them. He is an greaser and his parents died in an automobile wreck.
lmartinez5,
I saw that movie and it was so good. I haven't read the book but from the way you described it, it sounds just as good.
I agree with tgarrison2 I reallylove that book.
the book im reading is sherlock homes and the baker srteet irregulars. the book was illistrated by tracy mack & michael citrin. im curently on page 125. so far the character sherlock homes is smart, always positive, and is eager to know what other people dont know. so far this book is AMAZING.
My character is at first snobby and a jerk. Then after the plane crash he starts to be nicer and more compassionate.
The book I just finished reading is Alibi Jr High by Greg Logsted. The main character is a 13 year old boy named Cody Saron who at first acts nervous, embarrassed, and thinks everybody is out to get him, since his dad works for the CIA. Although later on in the book he starts trusting people and starts acting like a normal kid. For example when everything is ok with his dad he chooses to stay with his aunt. This book has got to be one of my favorites and I hope to read more of Greg Logsetd's books.
Astephens5,you did a great job describing the main characters of your book. I saw the movie and now I think I want to read the book.
In the book Storm Catchers, by Tim Bowler, the main characters are Ella, Fin, Sammy, and their parents. Sammy, the youngest of them all, is very mysterious. He would runaway to play with his "friends" who only exists in his mind. Fin, the oldest, faults himself for the kidnapping of Ella, because he could not save her. Ella , Sammy's older sister and Fin's younger sister is most of the times sad and depressed or afraid. She is captive in a cve at the momment. Fin's mom is always worried and anxieous, and his dad is most of the time angry or grumpy. I am currently on page 94 and so for I'm enjoying the book.
Snadon6, that sounds like a pretty interesting book. It would be sad not to even know their own age.
Bferguson, alot of the girls I know read the Pretty Little Liars series at one point, I guess its because the book is good. I like how you described each of the main characters.
@slnetherland5
I'v seen the movie and it was really good! Although, I haven't read the book but I bet its really good!
I'm reading Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper. The main character is Andrew "Andy" Jackson and throughout the entire book he is very depressed and doesn't understand why he survived the car crash but his friend didn't. He started failing classes and kept thinking about death and his friend Rob. For example, he and his girlfriend were walking over a bridge and he stopped, went to the edge, and thought about jumping off. But luckily Keisha, his girlfriend was their to stop him from continuing. However, when he broke up with his girlfriend he thought he didn't have anything else to live for so he killed himself. His best friends were surprised because he seemed okay at school but they all know that he was having trouble coping with his friends death. I just finished the book the other day it was so good!
Nmongo, I love that book and I hope your enjoying it. I strongly recommend you read the whole serious. Also good job describing your main character.
snadon6
so once jack kills people does he put them in the graveyard so no one knows?
amanibusan6
i really like how descriptive you were about your book.
mmcclendon5
hatchet is a really good book i read it in the fifth grade its really interesting
kflanagan6
that sounds like an amazing book i love the mystery part about the dead body disapearing
The book I am currently reading is Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli. It's a good book so far and I can't put it down. The main character is a really nice person and is a science geek. He knows a lot about science because when he was little he hung out with a science geek named Jim. Jim loved to tell him all about what he was doing and creating. The main character can get inmpatient though, like the time his friend BT was late for a monoply match; "Pizza's getting cold," I said. "Let's just start. Teach BT a lesson for once" (pg.15) I think it's entertaining and fun and I reccomend it to everybody.
mmcclendon5,
I've read Hatchet before! It's really good.
JDewitt6,
That sounds like a good book!
My book is called The Pledge. By Chandra Spearks Taylor. The main character is the girl named Courtland. She is a self respected girl, she is confused in relationships, and sometimes sassy. Like when her mom told her it was best tat she didn't date until she was old enough she yelled at her mom and told her she was old enough to make her own decisions.
Kflanagan:The book your reading seems very intresting. I think I might read it next time.
Cwilliams6:Your character seems very self centered. Not the type of person you would find in my books. But cool.
the book I'm reading is Red Kayak by Patrica Cummings. The main character Brady is very heroic. An example of his heroics is when he tries to rescue a small boy from a 40 degrees white-rapids river.I'm currently on page 73. This book is very captivating.
@MMcclendon
I think you posted on the wrong blog, this is 3 and you responded to two
@JDewitt6
can you give an example of how she is dark or sassy?
LWooley5, that book sounds interesting! I would love to read it.
-Potterfreak
The main character i think is warm hearted and enjoys adventurous. In the book I’m reading Jason (the main character) is taking a trail called the Chillkoot. Many people are struggling to make it through the trail to Alaska. Along the way many people animals are collapsing due to the heavy weight and lack of energy over the long pass. Jason has seen so many people killing their animals, he sees another man killing his dogs. He stops the man and saves the dog that why I think he’s warm hearted. Book: Jason's Gold Author: Will Hobbs Page#68 CHP.10
@mmcclendon5 I have heard that book was well written. I have been looking to read it but never got around to it.
@amanibusan6 your comment is lengthy and has a ton of description. If you could describe that book that well that means you probally liked it. It seems like a good book and sounds like it was interesting.
The book I am readin is Runaway by Wendelin Van Draanen.I'm on page 160. The main charactor on my book is Holly. She is 12years old and she runs away from her new foster parents. She actually gets away-and what feels like an escape at first soon becomes a daily struggle for survivle.She likes writing and reading. When she write something, she talks about stuff that she would never normally talk about.
Actually she is homeless girl, but she always believe she is a sea gypsy.Because she wanted to go to sea and she thought homeless doesn't belongs to her.
I hope to read more of Wendelin Van Draanen.
I am currently reading Schooled, by Gordan Korman. The main character in my book is a boy named Capricorn Anderson. He grew up on a farm called Garland that is completely isolated from modern society. People think he is strange, because he looks and acts like a 1960s hippie. He is a very earth friendly person, who does not believe in fighting or war. He is very nice to everyone he meets and it’s very hard to make him mad. His hair stretches all the way down to his hips, and all of his clothes are homemade which include tie die shirts, jeans, and thatch shoes. Every morning he practices Tia Chi at his school. I am currently on page 118.
@tgarrison2 That sounds like a very exciting book.
JDewitt your book sounds really interesting and I want to read that book next time.
@twilson2 Your book sounds like it has alot of adventure in it, I think I would like to read it.
pdixon6 I really like Harry Potter series!!But I only watched in movies and I read that book only few...I think I should read some more.
The book I'm reading is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling and I'm also on page 192. The main character is Harry Potter and I would have to say his personality is brave. The reason I say that he is brave is because he is supposidly being searched for by the prisoner of Azkaban, a wizard prison that is supposed to be impossible to escape from. The prisoner searching for him is named Serius Black and is said to have killed numerous people with just one curse, and Harry isn't too frightened, like I would be.
kflanagen6, I started to read that book last summer but in the very beginning it seemed really uninteresting and I put it down. But, your description makes it sound mysterious. Is it a good book so far?
pdixon6, That's a lot of pages to read before Christmas! I'm on the third Harry Potter and they get bigger and bigger after the first and second. But, the movies and the books are pretty similiar. The main parts in the books are in the movies, just not as much details are in the movies.
The book I have finished reading is called Warriors: The Power of Three: Long Shadows by Erin Hunter. Now, my book does not have one main character. It has three!
The first cat is Jaypaw (Now called Jayfeather due to earning his medicine cat name), he is stubborn, blind, sensitive, and quick to make a witty/rude remark. I have noticed that he has matured A LOT! He was so sensitive about his blindness that he wished he were never born. Now he’s "meh" about his blindness. A great example of his personality is when Brambleclaw (the Thunderclan deputy) asks him if he or Leafpool (the medicine cat) if they saw anything while walking back to Thunderclan camp. He retorts with “I didn’t see anything”. He can also walk into other cats dreams and has a spectacular memory for herbs. Jaypaw is part of a prophecy.
The second main character is Lionblaze: I am not sure too sure about his personality. He has fallen in love with a cat (later rejected her) and broke the warrior code. Lionblaze cannot be wounded in battle. He is part of a prophecy. I cannot come up with an example of this because his personality is not as developed as the others.
Hollyleaf is the third main character: She is a very loyal cat! She cannot even imagine breaking the warrior code herself, though she has done it. She is the politician of the three (by three I mean Jaypaw, Lionblaze and Hollyleaf). Here is a perfect example of her personality: Squirrelflight has just told them that she is not their birth mother but says that she is proud of them. Hollyleaf is in so much rage, she hisses, “Go away and leave us alone! You have no right to be proud of us, no right to feel anything towards us! You let us believe you were our mother, and you’re not!” Nobody knows what her special power is…yet.
@pdixon6
Ive tried reading that book. Ive read the first few chapters of it. I got bored of it so quickly I have never tried reading it again. Well, have fun reading it!
By the way: Be careful of your grammars! I get so annoyed when people dont use correct grammar.
@lwooly5
I should really read that book! I like the main character so far because I am a nice person, a science geek and I can be impatient.
In my book, Peeled by Joan Bauer. I'm currently on page 42, and the main character of my book is Hildy Biddle. Hildy is a reporter for her school, and is most definately a nosy persistand type of person. She lives in a very small town with her family, and manages a farm with them as well. Hildy is always trying to get the inside dirt on things so she can write a good paper, though sometimes she has trouble because people don't always take high school reporters seriously. Something that shows that she is persistant and nosy is a part on page 14 where it says, ""Hi Sherrif." "What are you doing here, Hildy?" Not everyone is glad to see you when you're a reporter. "I'm doing a covering this for The Core.""
kflanagan6,i've heard about the black duck, wasn't it on the sunshine state readers list in 6th grade? Is it good so far?
pdixon6, I'm also reading the first Harry Potter book, though I'm reading it on the side of my current book. Are you liking it as much as I am? I am quite enjoying it!
I am currently reading Halo:The Flood, by William C. Dietz. My main character is Master Cheif Petty officer, John-117. He is the main character of the Halo trilogy. He is the only known surviving spartan super soldier and humanities final hope in fending off against the alien horde referred by humans as the covenant. He throughout the book, he shows his legendary skill as a soldier. His personality shows as he is stuborn, brave, and resourceful throughout the story. He never looks down on a situation and excels at success in any situation. All through the book Chief is looked up to by the soldiers he leads into combat while present on the "ring world" of Halo. In the part Im on, he leads a squad of marines onto a covenant ship to rescue their captured comrads, killing almost everything on board that wasn't human.
pdixon6,
Ive read the entire Harry Potter series and loved each book. id recommend reading the series strait through.
JDewitt6, sounds like a interesting novel. Who would you recommend this book to?
DGillespie5
That book sounds very interesting, and I don't usually like SciFi books.
I am reading Nothing to Fear by Jackie French Koller. It’s about an Irish immigrant boy named Daniel Garvey. Now his last name sounds a little bit weird but he has more of a mischievous personality cause no matter where he goes he always faces trouble. He can also be a little bit stubborn like how his friend Mickey asks him “Well… what do you say we take Kitty and Maggie to the movies tomorrow?” well during the conversation he says no but then realizes that he owes Mickey for saving him from the Sullivan twins. Since right now I’m on page 81 I think so far I think the book is great. He is also very trustful cause one time since he worked at the Weissman store because when his friends ask for free food he says no but is now called a “rat fink” for not giving free stuff to them.
@mmcclendon5
The book is realistic fiction not non-fiction. It could happen but it didn't say that in history a boy fell off into the wilderness by plane
@mmcclendon5
I read that book in fifth grade.
Its really good.
I'm reading Summer Ball by Mike Lupica i'm around page 30. The main character is Danny Walker. He is a 13year old boy who is skilled and athletic. He is also very kind. But he is very stubborn, because he thinks he is too short to play basketball in high school, so people tell him it doesn't matter but he still worries about it.
The book that i am reading is called HOOT by Carl Hiaasen. it is about a boy who just moved from Montana to south Florida because of his dads job. So the main charater is a really good character because he has high hopes and never gives up on enything.
jhouston6, i remember reading that book in fifth grade it was really good.
asellers6 red kayak sounds really interesting i think i might read it someday.
I'm reading Someone Like you by Sarah Desssen. a realistic fiction novel. The main character is Halley, a 16-year-old in high school. Before high school, Halley was very family oriented, but now she's more of the party type. She's more into boys now because of her bestfriend who moved there named Scarlett. Halley is more quiet and shy than Scarlett who is the outspoken of the 2. Halley has long blonde hair and a deep tan. She is very secretive about what goes on her life to everyone except Scarlett. Right now, on about page 167, Halley's mom is becoming very uptight because Halley used to tell her everything. but now she doesn't really include her mom in her life. Halley has a new boyfriend named Macon who she's trying to be someone she's not for.
jdewitt6, I like how you really give a whole preview for the book. I saw the movie and loved it, so I can't wait to read the book!
jdiehl6, I love the summary for the book and how you described more than one character. You seem like you really like the book and I might give the series a try after I finish my book now!
I read that book last year, it is very good,what page are you on?
kwilliams2 I am reading abook called fallen.Iam not sure who the author is but the main character is Zoey and Daniel.She is very stubborn but also very sweet.

jdewitt6

The main character in my book is Emily. She feels that she is invisable to her parents. She says that her parents only want her help around the health clinic but when they are home they ignore her. That is the reason she was running a away from home. Emily said that if she was gone her parents wouldn't notice execpt for when they needed her help. But now that the ferry has crashed she is scared and nervous.
Jdewitt6 she seems like a normall teenager
Pdixon6, I have read all the harry potter series it is an amazing book I hope you enjoy!
mmcclendon5, I have also read that book it is really good when you get done you should read Brian's Winter it is also by gary paulson.
msimons6 sounds like a good book. I would like to read some of his books because ive heard good things about his books.
In the book A Time To Kill by John Grisham, the main character is Jake Brigance. He can be serious, but also funny and calm in some situations. Like when he is trying to get information on his case he is serious, but when he is with his family he is funny and calm. i am o page 154.
mmcclendon5
sounds like a good book. i was going to read that one.

This book gives the reader a better understanding of how to survive.
My book teaches you every thing you need to know about diving. The first chapter tells you about how to enter the water, how to safely descend, and how to matenence you gear yearly. The hardest chapter I have crossed so far is the 3rd it teaches you how to track your dives, how to calculate how the pressure is affecting your lungs, and how you get decompression sickness.
The title of my book is "The Boy Who Dared", by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. The main character is Helmuth, he is twelve years old and lives in Germany. The story takes place when Hitler is coming into power. Helmuth, at first is loyal to the Nazi movement. When he sees the Nazis closing the Jews stores and being cruel, he starts
questioning the movement.His father has been killed and his older brothers are moving away from the home, getting jobs.
@jricks2
"The Cay" is a great book!!! I love the characters, Phillip has to depend on the old black man for everything after he is blinded in an accident. GREAT BOOK!!!
@kflanagan6
That book sounds very interesting, maybe I'll read it next. I want to know more about the dead body!!
