I am currently reading The Spanish Kidnapping Disaster by Mary Downing Hanh.I am page 116.The character I would choose is Felicia.She's a twelve-year-old girl who went to Spain with her family.She would probably go to California because she loves the scenery and the people.

MLayne2 said...

Morpheus Road The Light. I am on page 46. The character I choose is Marshall because he is a very interesting person. He likes to do crazy exotice things. I think a place he would like to travel to is Rio de Janeiro. Is because of the exotice things they do there like a lot of paraides and just by its culture there is interesting.

I think kkey2 did a great job on her blog.

And WDalluge2 did a great job on his blog to.

I'm currently reading the lord of the rings by j.j.r Tolkien. i am on page 63. The character i choose is frodo baggins of the shire right now he would probably wanna go on an adventure one like his uncle had been on. so i think he would wanna go to a place like Hawaii all sorts of things like waterfalls mountains valcanoes. He would love a place like that cause its adventurous and safe.

I am currently reading the book The Dangerous Days of Daniel X writen by James Paterson. I am now on page 158. The character I choose would be Daniel. He is a 15 year old boy without a family. If he could go anywhere in the word I belive he would travel to New York City. He would visit this place because he is a monster hunter who would enjoy fighting crime.

wperkins6 said...

Dblair6 Good job on your post this week.

Im reading catching fire by Sussane Collins. Im on page 37. The character I choose is Katniss Everdene. She is a 16 year old girl whos father died when she was 12. She was put in the hunger games once and now for the second time. I dont think it matters to Katniss were she couldtravel as long as it was away from her district and the capital because she hates it there.

I'm reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I'm currently on page 17. The character I choose from my book is Meggie. Both her and her father, Mo, love reading and books. I feel like if Meggie went anywhere in the world, it would be Washington D.C. and she would take Mo. This is because Washington D.C. has the world's largest library called the Library of Congress.

llambert6 said...

@dblair6
I'm planning on reading that after I'm done with the Inkheart series.

llambert6 said...

@kcarnes5
That's my favorite book of the series.

I am the reading the Clique by Lisi Harrison and I am on page 63. If Alicia could travel anywhere she would travel to Hawaii. She would go there because she loves the tropical environment. She always says how she wants to wear her sunglasses. She is always wearing bright colors that remind me of Hawaii.

I am reading the book Chomp by Carl Hiaasen. I am on page 103. If Wahoo could travel anhywhere he would travel to amazon rain forest. I know this because he and his dad protect indangered reptiles and im pretty sure he would go there to catch all the snakes and aligators he wants.

Bcampbell5 said...

I just finished reading "Through My Eyes" by Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow is a football athlete who has inspired people on and off the field. If he could go anywhere around the world I think he would go to his home country the Philippians. He was born there but then his parents moved to Jacksonville. He still visits there because of his uncles charity.

@swilliams2
Great blog!

@sfreer2
Is "Chomp" any good?

aazoca6 said...

I am reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. I'm on page 43. I pick Roy because he is the main character of my story. He would travel back to Montana because that is where he is from and he want to go back. Plus it's a calm awesome place.

aazoca6 said...

The book I’m currently reading is called Minnie Mcclary Speaks Her Mind. By Valerie Holls and I’m on page127. The character I’m going to tell you about is a girl name Minnie. Minnie is all about questions she can ask a million questions and won’t even know it. She sometimes have trouble speaking her mind until she get this new teacher name Mrs. Marks who is about to get fired because the parents don’t like her. The place she would travel is probably Paris to learn their culture

OPanchal5 said...

I am currently reading The battle of the Labyrinth. It is by Rick Riordan and I am on page 47. The character I would choose will be Percy Jackson. I choose him because he's cool. I think he would like to go in sword fighting school because he likes sword fighting and also hasn't gone through one school without getting expelled. I have never gotten expelled

OPanchal5 said...

@lmiller2,

CHILLLLLLLLLLLLL out on comments.

OPanchal5 said...

@gparent5,

Tim Tebow is like 3rd string off the field. That means HE SUCKS!

human5 said...

My book is called "The Gathering Dead". I am on page 70. The author of my book is Stephen Knight. My character is McDaniel, he is a man in his 40s with no fear. He is also the captain of his squad that is protecting a scientists daughter. If he could go anywhere it would be out of New York city, because that is where the zombies are.

human5 said...

OPanchal5: cool book


kcarnes5: good job

mflippen6 said...

I am currently reading "Murder on Orient Express" by Agatha Christie. I am on page 48. The character I choose is Hercule Poitrot. Poitrot is a Belgian detective who is heading to London for a case. I think he would probably go home if he could go anywhere in the world because he would be tired from travelling to solve cases.

mflippen6 said...

bsammel5 said...

I am on page 99 of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. The main character is Katniss.She came home six months ago from winning the hunger games, a battle to the death where usually a lone victor will stand.But this past game Katniss caused the Gamemakers to let two people win, herself and the other tribute from her district,Peeta,win together.I think Katniss would like to go to some where like North Carolina with woods and lots of wildlife.Much of the movie The Hunger Games was actually Filmed in North Carolina.

asantacroce2 said...

The name of my book is scat by Carl Hiaasen, the pg number I’m on is 41. The character I would choose is Nick is nice and he likes this girl named Marta. I think that Nick would travel to Iraq, because he would want to see is dad. The reason I picked this place is because Nick’s dad was out in Iraq and nick is always waiting for an email from his dad to make sure he is ok. If Nick could just see him once then maybe he wouldn’t be so worried all the time.

asantacroce2 said...

dblair6

omg i love the lord of the rings.

kcarnes5

that was a good book hope you like it.

eyakel6 said...

I just started to read in a heart beat by Loretta Ellsworth. And I am on page 12. one character is Eagan is a figure skater who has goals and dreams of professional but unfortunately a terrible accident happens that prevents her from achieving her dreams. I think that if she could travel any where in the world she would travel to the most recent winter Olympic location. because she would love to see where the Olympics where held so she could have reached her goals.

NBahn5 said...

My book is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and I’m on page 105. If Clay could travel anywhere in the world, it would be somewhere far away from his town. He wouldn’t have to be reminded of his friend/crush, Hannah Baker who made recordings of why she committed suicide. He wouldn’t have to be near the places that Hannah went to.

NBahn5 said...

Smwilliams2

Cool book

I’ve seen the movie but I haven’t read the book

tnichola6 said...

I am currently reading the book Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. I'm on page 75 and the book is going great. The character I would be is Roy. Roy would go to Bozeman Montana. He loves the fresh outdoors and likes to hike the mountains where he used to live.

Dblair6 nice post.

Tnichola6 sounds good.

Nhutto2 said...

I am reading Malice by Chris Wooding, and I am on page 211. The character I chose to write about is Seth. He is a guy who is constantly seeking adventure and excitement in his normal life. He is willing to try dangerous and daring things just to get a thrill out of it. If he could travel anywhere in the world, it would probably be Mount Everest. I chose this location because in the book, he also goes mountain climbing with his friend, Kady. He almost falls off a ledge and found it exhilarating. I think he would enjoy climbing Mount Everest because he is constantly looking for daring and exciting things to do, and I'm sure that doing so would satisfy all of his desires.

Nhutto2 said...

@Dblair6
Good post

gmontgomery2 said...

I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days by Jeff Kinney. I am on page 146 and 147. The character Gregg is an ordinary kid who loves video games and like to have a great time. If Gregg can travel anywhere in the world i think it will be a big,fancy,fun,awesome arcade with his best friend Rowley. (It has to have a station were you can watch television). The reason why is because if he had the chance all he will do is sit in front of the t.v and or or play video games.

Nhutto2 said...

@Nbahn5
Sounds like an interesting book

I am reading Monster by Walter Dean Myers. I am on page 251. One charater in my book is Steve. He is a 16 year old boy on trial for felony murder. If Steve could go anywhere I think he would go home strictly because he hates it in jail and he's really scared that he could spend the rest of his life there.

tdcole6 said...

Game Changers. Mike Lupica. Page 20. The character I choose is the main character. His name is Ben McBain. I think if he could go where ever he wanted to he would go to a football field. He loves the game of football and thats his favorite place to be. Football is his life and he is always at the football field. I think he would go to a football field because thats where he loves to be.

jjones6 said...

My book is Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 160 out of 497. The character that I'm going to explain is Peeta. Peeta likes to create and decorate things. Instead of going out into the battle he likes blending in with the surroundings. If he were to go anywhere I think he would go to Greece. I think he would go there because of all the architecture and designs there.

jjones6 said...

@kkey2 You should consider more sentences.

jjones6 said...

@WDalluge2 good job

nhamilton2 said...

I am reading the Gift by James Patterson. I am done with the book. I would choose Will to go to were the lost ones and the half lights are. He would go here because his girlfriend was sent there. He really likes her and would do anything for her even be killed by the lost ones.

Good job kkey2

I am currently reading the book The Slawter by Darren Shan. I am on page 25 out of 223. I think grubbstich grady would love to come to my house. I have a fooseball table a 52 in plasma tv and an X-box 360 with all games imaginable. He would love my house a lot because we have a bunch of activities to keep him busy.

@kkey2 great post.
@kcarnes5 keep up the great work.

EPata2 said...

I am currently reading The Gift by James Paterson and I am on page 10. The character I'd choose to be in the book would have to be Whit. My character is one of the two main characters in the whole story. If my character could travel anywhere in the world, it would have to be Asia. This is because the closest thing we have right now to magic is technology in my opinion

EPata2 said...

@ dblair6

LORD OF THE RINGS, cool.

EPata2 said...

@ kcarnes5



Nice sequel Kellar.

mruvio6 said...

I am reading sent by: Margaret Peterson on page 34. The character I would choose would be Jonah the main character. He is a boy who was adopted it and has just recently found out that he is from another time period and has been sent there with three other kids. I think if he could travel anywhere in the world it would be back home to his time period. He would want to go there because he misses his family and wants his life to go back to normal.

mruvio6 said...

dblair6 good job!


llambert6 sounds like a good book.

jlexley6 said...

I am currently reading Artemis Fowl The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer. I am on page 326. Artemis Fowl is a boy genius, at first cruel and mean and doing anything to get what he wants but then when he meets Holly, an elf fairy, becomes helpful and friendly and doing everything he can to help out his friends. If I had to pick one place for him to go I would pick France because he loves foreign countries and he loves art.

mlennon06 said...

I'm reading The Choice by Nicholas Sparks and I'm on page 45. One of my characters, Gabby, is very stuck-up and kind of a know-it-all. She thinks her neighbor's dog got her dog prego so she like stormed over and went off, making crazy assumptions and just over the top ridiculous. I think if she could travel somewhere it would be like Paris. Only because she doesnt seem like a beach-y person or somebody that would want to have a lot of fun, something relaxing and quiet and classy like art museums and such...

mlennon6 said...

@kellarcarnes5 I'm just gonna watch the movie....
@mflippen6 That sounds good!

ccummings5 said...

I am reading Matched by Ally Condie. I am on page 260. One character in my book is Cassia, she is the main character. If my character could travel anywhere in the world I think she would travel to the Amazon. In the book she really wants to travel wilderness that doesn't really have a path cleared for you, just something you can exlore on your own.

arockett2 said...

I am currently reading Closed for the Season, by Mary Downing Hahn. I am on page 106. The main character is Logan. And if he could travel anywhere in the world I think it would be California. I think because he is always like the kid that no one likes because he is a nerd and he is always being bullied. Also he always complains about wanting to start somewhere new and some place that’s very popular. And then he would want to find more friends.

jphan2 said...

The book I am currently reading is Called Need By Carrie Jones. I'm on page 120. The main character's name is Zara and she is very curious about her past and what happened to her dad and of who the person stalking her is. I think this character would go anywhere because she has moved to different places a lot before. Zara is also a very caring person because she defends her friends.

I'm currently reading a Kiss in Time by Alex Finn. I'm on page 269. If Talia could choose anywhere in the world to go it would be Spain or France. She's been in a castle for 316 years, so she would go anywhwere, but she woulod rather go to Spain because she learned Spanish first and loves the culture. She is obsessed with the French fashion and rather live in France.

I am currently reading les miserable by: victor hugo. I am on page 58. In my book there is a character by the name of Jean Valjean. He is a slave for stealing bread from a local market. He gets treated very harshly and isnt wanted by any slave owners because they think he will steel something from them. I think jean valjean would like to travel to america because he wouldn’t be a slave anymore and he would have his own rights!

fgoetz2 said...

I am currently reading HAryy Potter and the Prionser of Azkaban. I am on page 89. The character i hav chosen is Harry Potter of course. I guess he would tavel to disney magic stuidos, he does like magic. He would also go there to see himself in movies i suppose.

zotto5 said...

I am currently reading Inkspell by Coralina Funke and I am on page 80. The character I choose is Meggie. She is a 13 year old girl who loves adventure. I would think she would go to the Amazon Rainforest because she likes adventure and there is plenty of creatures there that would interest her. She also loves animals and so I believe she would want to go there for that reason too.

zotto5 said...

mlennon6-Good job with the blog.
Mruvio6- You also did a good job.

Adavis2 said...

This blog is a little late, sorry. I had to get a new book, but my character, Danny Walker, would probably travel to an NBA finals game. It wouldnt matter which team. He loves basketball but his family is very poor and going to a pro basketball game would be only a dream.He'd love it,even though he's smaller than anyone in the league, he has a lot of heart for the game. His dad was super tall but he is the smallest in his family, it's so weird. He is so small he has to throw the ball just to get it in the 10 foot hoop...

@Zotto5 Nice blog
@Ssorgi5 Nice book bro.

nbrown5 said...

PAge number 27,the name of my book is tuck everlasting and the author is natalie babbitt.The charcter in my book is mae tuck she is very adventures and different she not the ordaniry child . i think mae would go all around the world .THe reason I say the world is because she is just a very creative character so its hard to tell.

I am reading The Bully by Paul Langan. I am on page 48. I am really likng this book so far it is part of the bluford series. The main character in my book is named Darrell Mercer and I know without a doubt that if he could travel any where in the world he would go back home to Philadelphia,because he moved to california in the middle of the semester and he had no friends.

abroughton6 said...

tdaigle6 said...

I am currently reading Wild life. I finished the book already. The character I choose is Erik. The reason why is because I can somewhat relate to him. Some parts, not the running away though. It's full of suspense, excitement, and determination. Also learning how to cope with losing the ones you love.

tdaigle6 said...

@kkey2 That sounds interesting, elaborate description.

@wdalluge2 That book sounds really good.

nluna6 said...

I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and I am on page 78. The character I choose is Katiness, she is very brave and will do anything for family. I think if Katiness could go anywhere it would be somewhere safe in which her and Gale's family can be safe and be wealthy together.
@tdaigle6

I’m reading Ninth Grade Slays by Heather Brewer I’m on page 186. I fi could be any character id want to be Vlad. He’s is the main character and is half human and half vampire, the first of his kind. i would put him in Russia permanently to live.

WDalluge2 good job.
MLayne2 I agree with you

I am currently reading " The Hunger Games " I am on page 300. The author is Susanne Collins. The character I chose is Katniss. I chose Katniss because she is a very interesting character, I think she would like to go to the forest somewhere, where she doesn't feel like it is against the law.
