  1. I started a new book called Alicia by: Lisi Harrison and I’m on page 49. If I had a choice to take a characters place it would be Alicia. I would want to be Alicia because she is very nice and is known in her school. She is not one of those mean popular girls but one of the kinds that just likes to have fun. Her family also seems very funny. This book is already really good.

  4. I just started reading my book Chmop by Carl Hiaasen. I am on page 29, chapter 4. If I had a choice to take a characters place it would be Wahoo. I would be Wahoo because he is very smart and gets good grades. He knows how to handle reptiles just like me and is fun to be with. hes not mean and you can get to know him real easily

  7. The book I am now reading is called Emako Blue by Brenda Woods. I am on page 4. If I had to take the place of a character I would pick Monterey's mom. I would choose her because Emako just passed away and her best friend would need comfort. I am really good at being their for people in the time of need.

  12. The book I am planning to read is The Battle of the Labyrinth. It is by Rick Riordan and I have not started it yet. I would like to be Percy Jackson because he's smart and brave like me. He also has lots of friends, like me. He knows how not to get killed, I'm trying to learn that. And lastly, he has an awesome sword.

  14. The title of my book is Eight keys; the author of my book is Suzanne Laflur. The page I’m on is 185. The person I would take place of in my book would be Caroline. Caroline is sweet, smart, and she loves to read. The reason I picked Caroline is because she is always there for someone in need. She really helps the main character Elise, because at the beginning no one wanted to be Elise’s then Caroline came in and say yes.

  18. I am on page 52 of Stowaway by Karen Hesse. If I were to take the place of anyone in the book I would take the place of Nick. I would take the place of him because he is like me as in he cares for animals. I would also be him because he gets to see all these new animals on the trip to South America on the Endevour. I always have wanted to go to South America to see all the exotic animals.Nick befriends a goat on the ship and I always wanted to have a pet goat, specifically a Fainting Goat.

  20. I officially finished Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix. If I could take the place of any character in my book I would want to be the main character Trey.

  23. my book is crossed by ally condle. and I am currently on page 25. if I had to trade places with one person in my book it would most likely be the main character cassia. not just she is the main character but that she has the most interesting problems. and I think that some of her situations seem like they would be cool to be in.

  43. I am reading "The Red Necklace" by Sally Gardner and i'm on page 47. If I had to take place of one character in my book it would be Yann. I pick him because he is this amazing magician. I always thought magic tricks were fascinating. He also stands up for his rights and has a bunch of courage. When he is arguing with this rich guy who he is being payed by for his magic. He is passionate and loves to argue. He is quite the character which makes me want to be him compared to all the other characters in the book i'm reading.
    @swilliams2 I would probably like to be her as well
    @sfreer2 I liked your good description of the character you picked in your book

  44. I'm reading Matched by Ally Condie. I am on page 233. I would take Em's place. She doesn't seem really conflicted with anything unlike Cassia. Em's life in the Society is pretty much normal. She doesn't have problems like Cassia has, but in the Society even little problems seem like a big deal.

  47. I am currently reading the book, "The Line" by Teri Hall. If I had to take one of the characters place in my book, I'd choose to be Jonathan. Jonathan is a very very courageous and smart person at the point in the book I'm in. I would like to take his place because it seems like he is a character that takes thought in things. He also has a very bright personality being one of the main characters best friends which is good about him.

    I am reading the book "Dark Life" by Kat Falls. I am on page 43, if i could be any character i would be Ty. I choose Ty because he gets to witness all of the scenarios that goes on in their under water utopia. His dad is a General in the e navy so he gets to see everything that goes on. He also lives in a really nice place, underwater. 250 miles below sea level.He gets to be involved in a lot of action and it would be awesome to take his place.

  56. I am currently reading the book les miserables by victor Hugo. I am on page 5. So for I wouldn’t like to trade places with any of the characters in the book. Everyone is a slave except for the higher class French soldiers. They are all treated horribly. And they also are beaten if they don’t do their work properly. When they commit a crime that isn’t worth anything they automatically become slaves. It’s horrible.

    If I could take the place of any character in the i book i would take the place of Clary. I want to take her place because she is very good with weapons and has a very eventful life. Every second of her life is like n action movie, from fighting demons, to magic. Clary is also very beautiful and her best-friend/ boyfriend is a fearless shadow hunter who would do anything for her. The book is amazing so far and i cant wait to see what will happen to Clary next.

If i can take a place of a character it would be... peta because he is the main guy in the book and is partners with Katniss. But i think i would want to be Katniss because she is brave and defends her people. In some peoples eyes she is a hero and in other peoples eyes she is a killer and i would want that if i could.

  102. I'm reading the Choice by Nicholas Sparks and I'm on page 25. It's not that exciting of a book so no characters really stick out to me as being like really cool. But i guess i'd want to be Travis (although i'd still want to be a girl..) because he might be like oldish 30 but compared to all of his married friends he has a cooler life. He doesnt have any kids or anything so he's not very tied down, he gets to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Unlike his friends who dont do much anymore because they have a family to provide for. He also does a lot of traveling which seems cool.

    @BCampbell5-I love that movie!
