The book I am current reading is The Stone Child by Dan Poblocki. I am on page 118. My character is Eddie. If he were to travel in time to somewhere else, I think he would want to travel inside a book. Beacuse he reads books by his favorite author; Nathaniel Olmstead, and they are horroe stories. Eddie reads them all the time, so that's why I think he would want to travel inside one of Nathaniel's books.
The book i am currently reading is Swindle by Gordon Korman. I am also on pg.112 ch.11. Griffin is a 6th grader trying to get people to have a fake sleepover at a construction site. If he could travel anywhere he would travel to Babe Ruth's house so he could meet him, but he can't because Babe is dead.
Sounds like a good/scary book, i might read it! Hlawson3
I am reading “PENDRAGON Book One: The Merchant of Death” by D.J. Machale. I am on page 158. In this book, Bobby Pendragon feels he has been forced to become a Traveler, a person who can travel through time and space through flumes. Him and his Uncle Press are on Denduron, but frankly, all Bobby wants to do is go home. If he could go anywhere right now, it would be back to Earth in Stony Brook, New York on 2 Linden Place where his house was.
I’m reading Scarlet by Marissa Meyer and I am on page 313. A character in my book is Cinder and she is a cyborg and she escaped from lunar when she was a baby. If Cinder could travel anywhere I think she would want to travel to Africa. I think she would go to Africa because her friend Dr. Erland is there and she needs his help. She needs him to teach her how to beat the lunar queen to save prince Kai and everyone on earth.
@Hlawson3 Great blog and nice details.
@mrossi4 You did a good job on your blog! Very descriptive.
In my book, The School for Good and Evil, by Soman Chainani (page 300 out of 488), the co-main character Agatha would most lie to travel to her home in Gaveldon, because she is stuck at the School for Good and hates it there, wanting nothing more than to take her best friend Sophie (the other co-main character) and go home. This is not too easy, however, because Sophie has fallen in love with another student there!
My new book is Matilda by Roald Dahl and I’m currently on page 22. Matilda since the day she was born and very mistreated by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood. She’s always dreamed of a better place and going to school. Matilda loves to think about what life must be like in school; Matilda reads a lot of books to keep her mind thinking about things. Matilda’s favorite author is Charles dickens and he wrote a book about New York and she talks for a little bit how nice it sounded so if I had to guess I would say see would go to New York. She would do almost anything to get away from her home or even go to school.
@jlett6 I really liked your blog and I say that because the book sounds great and very interesting.
@athomas I really like your post it was descripted and I relate to it.
My book is The Eleventh Plague the author is Jeff Hirsch i have recently finish the book and very much enjoyed it. The main characters name is Steven he is fourteen and i think he would want to go every were on earth. All his life he walked on the same trial trying to survive. He always wanted to get off the trial, and nothing ever made his hunger for exploring stop. Knowing this I think he would go every were he possibly could.
The book I'm currently reading is called "Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister" by Liz Kessler. I'm on page 69. The main character is a very shy person who wants to win over her class mates and not to have such crazy parents. If my character could travel anywhere in the world it would be Disney World because she loves fairies. She could also take her fairy godsister and go look for her third wish.
@hlawson3 Terrific job! I'm loving those great details.
@athomas6 Great job! It was greatly written.
I’m am currently reading the book trublewisters and I am on page 120. The character that I am doing is Jaid. Jaid is very curious and determined in mostly everything she dose. When I think about where Jaid would want to be it would be with her family safe some where and just happy. I think that she would pick this place because there is always so much chaos at her house between her dad almost never being home and always late to get there, and her parents arguing. I think that that would the place she would love to be.
I am currently reading Kingdom Keepers IV by Ridley Pearson. I am on page 260. My character is Finn. He is one of the main characters in the book. He is the fault of getting him and his friends into the Kingdom Keepers program for Disney World and also know as DHI. If Finn could travel anywhere, Finn would most likely travel to California where Disney Land is located because he is a Kingdom Keeper and technically works for Disney. All the issues they have had with Disney World in Florida with the overtakers. Sooner or later, I'm most positive that Disney Land will start experiencing issues with the overtakers. Thus, he and his friends will be taken to Disney Land to continue their jobs as DHI or Kingdom Keepers to save Disney Land and Disney World. So, I think Finn and his friends will travel to California next for the their next adventure(there is no book after this one).
Great job JLett6. You gave some nice supporting details to your answer. Keep it up!
Nice job Mrossi4! You gave great details to back up your answer and stated visibly why Bobby would travel where he would probably go. Keep it up!
hlawson3 great details keep it up!
athomas6 awesome job!
The book that I am currently reading is It's not summer without you by Jenny Han. I am on page 125. My character is Belly she is very happy and is very eager to go to the beach over the summer break. I think if she could travel anywhere in the world it would be Hawaii. She loves going to the beach and she and her best friend Taylor love to look at boys. Hawaii would be the perfect place for her to go and travel to.
Jlett6
Great Blog!

Great blog good details
Sphillips4 good job! Great detail!
mmoffitt6 nice, sounds intersting.
I just finished reading Game Changers by Mike Lupica. If the main character of my book (ben) could go anywhere in the world it would be to the football stadium at Boston college where Doug Flutie played football. I picked this place because ben is inspired by Doug Flutie because even though he is short like ben he was still able to become the quarterback and win a game by passing to his best friend. Ben has always dreamed of making a touchdown pass like Doug Flutie and I think that he would go here just to see where it happened in person. Ben believes in himself and keeps trying because he saw that Doug Flutie could do it and so could he.
Djouvenas3 great job!
Djouvenas3 great job!
Jlett6 great job!
I am currently reading 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R.Tolkien, and i am on page 76. The main character in my book is Bilbo Baggins. He is a little hobbit and he is getting to adventure and met many trolls, goblins,...etc.It's really dangerous. So if he could travel anywhere, I think he would travel to safety places.
@Hlawson3- nice post on your blog~ great detail!
@djouvenas3- great job^ it's really descriptive~
@djouvenas3: nice work! Your book sounds pretty cool!
@spark6: great job! I read that too!
@djouvenas3: nice work! Your book sounds pretty cool!
@spark6: great job! I read that too!
I am reading The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, the character that i am choosing is Annabeth and i think that the one place that she would go would be Athens,Greece. I think this because her mother is Athena and i think that she would want to be in a place that is founded by her own mother. I also think she would go to Athens because she always wants to feel a deeper connection with her mother since gods who are parents to demi-gods are not allowed to see their children directly, and Annabeth always hated that rule, so, she always wants to get as close to her mother as she can get.
great job @jlett6, keep up the good work!
awesome answer @jherrera4, keep up with the good blogs!
The book i am reading is The Cronicals Of Narnia (The Loin The Which And The Wardrobe) by C.S. Lewis, i am on page 89. I think the main character is Lucy, (the youngest)since she discoverd the wardrobe first. I believe that she would travel any wear, because she is a very adventurous person in the book. The reason i say that is because she takes the whole talking lion, the evil white witch and other creatures perfectly normal. She doesn't really question anything she stumbles upon in the book. The way Lucy is , she would basically travel literally any wear in the world, no matter the distance, like the Grand Canon. Its a great adventure for her to go on and its risky, but i know she would probably travel their.
ehouston4 , great job with your blog!
Jlett6 i have read that book before!, and great job describing your character.
My character is Charlie bone and I think he would travel to somewhere that doesn’t have a school. Because his mom is sending him to a place called Bloor’s academy and he doesn’t want to go. My book is midnight for Charlie bone. I am on page 54. And the author is jenny nimmo.
a thomas good job on your blog sounds like a good book.
hlawson good job sounds like a cool book.
I am reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth I’m on page 214. A character in my book is Tris, she is a girl who is trying to escape from the factions and find out what is outside of those gates. When she does she learns that there is a huge world outside of the gates and learns about the states and her new soundings. I think she would want to go to Wisconsin because her mom was from there and she had never told Tris that so I think she is curious what it is like.
Hlawson3 Great job loved reading your blog.
mrossi4 Your book sounds really interesting. Great Job.
I am currently reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I am on page 23. My character is Tris Prior. I think that if Tris could travel anywhere in the world she would want to travel to Abnegation (the faction where she used to live) when her parents were still alive. She misses them a lot and before they died she moved to Dauntless. She didn't really get to spend a lot of time with them before their death, so I think that if she could she would want to travel there.
@sphillips4 Is that a good book? Also, good job on your blog!
@nbrook6 Great job on your blog! I love that book.
I am on page 253 of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Shay is an adventurous 16 year old ugly and leaves ugly town to join the smoke. A band of Uglies who dared to venture away from the rules before their 16th birthday. The smoke is built on an abandoned Rusties forest and amusement park. She works really hard to help take care of the smoke. I think Shay would like to travel to Hoodland, Oregon because it is surrounded by woodland and it has a few mountains she could climb. I am also pretty sure Shay would like white water rafting there.
Hlawson3, good post, I think that you choose the right place for your character.
Mross6, Good details. you also did a good job picking a good place for your character.
The book i am currently reading is "The summer i turned pretty" by Jenny Han. My main character is Belly and she always stays at the beach every summer. I think her dream place would be the Bahamas. She loves water and fun slides, so i think the Bahamas would be perfect for her. I also really want to go there too.
Hlawson3 great job and great detail!
Jlett6 i loved your blog! I want to read that book!
@lwithers6:I love your post!you were very detailed.
@kaesposito4:Great job sounds like a good book!
The current book that I am reading is “Clone Codes” by The Mckissacks. I am on page 45.The main character is Leanna. In the book so far Leanna is in a virtual program, she escaped to get freedom because she thought they were treating them like slaves. She seems like a nice girl but a bit confused, and scared. For example in the book her mother is being attacked and founded by a man named Joe Spiller, a bounty hunter from the Clone Humane Society and leanna finds out last minute when they are at her house. She has to run to her neighbor house but instead go to her friend’s house and her mother got toking away. If she could travel anywhere in the world I think the place she would go is Hawaii. I think that because she can think of all the problems that is going on and get herself together, relax and rest but first if I was her I would look for my mother.
My book is called "The Vampire Stalker" by Allison Van Diepen, I am on page 80. My character is Amy who is obsessed with reading Otherworld books. She is obsessed, because the main character of that book is Alexander Banks. His the vampire hunter who's trying to kill Vigo, the vampire. She reads about Alexander 24/7, at school, at home, and even while walking. If I had to pick anywhere she would go, I would pick to Otherworld. I would pick that place, because it is where her beloved Alexander lives. She even imagines herself being his girlfriend all the time. Her name on an account is Mrs.AlexanderBanks8021. She really truly loves him, and his character in the book.
@ JHerrera4 Nice job on explaining why you chose your place.
@Aposey6 I like how you added an example, nice job.
The book I am currently reading is, “Daniel X: Watch the Skies” by James Patterson and Ned Rust, and am on page 162. Daniel is a teenage boy, who is actually an alien, which has the power of imagination. He can change anything into something else. For example, in the book he turned guns into water shooters. However, if Daniel could travel anywhere in the world it would most likely be Africa. His home planet had elephants, and they were considered the dogs of that planet. In Africa there are elephants everywhere, and Daniel wouldn’t feel threatened because, he can turn anything he wants into something else. So, if he was being attacked by a lion, he could turn it into flowers.
@JHerrera4
Great comment. Keep up the good work.
@EHouston4
Nice work.
In mt book " The Dangerous Days Of Daniel X", Daniel is a 15 year old-alien hunter. He has to follow this list that has all the wanted aliens on it, including the one that killed his parents, once he kills an alien they get removed from the list and he is one strp closer to the prayer on the top of the list. If Daniel could travel anywhere it would propily be the old house he lived in when he was three, becase that is the last place he was when his parents were alive and the house would most likely bring him Memories of his family. Anothor place he would go and goes offten is the woods, he likes the woods because it is quiet there and he does not have to worry about anything, when he goes there he makes his friends and they make a camp fire and have fun. I am reading "The Dangerous Days Of Daniel X, I am on page 124, and it was made by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.
good job APerez3 and lwithers6 your blogs were great.
good job mrossi4
Hlawson3 goodjob
I am reading Rush for the Gold by John Feinstein. I am on page 87. Susan Carol is a olympic swimmer who is the youngest in the group. If she could go anywhere inn the world is go back home to her parents. She would want to do that because shelovs her parents very much and they are the ones who she trusts most. She is having a very hard tiime makin decisions for her future right now and wants her parents for help.
@amartin3 good job on your blog! Very good details.
@jclarke3 Keep it up with the good blogs!
The book that I am currently reading is 42, the author of the book is Mike Lubica, I am on page 83 out of 153 pages. My character is Jackie Robinson he was a professional baseball player back in the day. Also, he broke the color barrier in baseball. If he could go anywhere around the world I think that it would be to a baseball field where blacks and other races were playing because when he played you got picked on a lot for being black.
The book i just finished reading was Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. The main character of the book is Katniss Everdeen. She is one of the victors in the Hunger Games and The Quells. Just recently she figured out that there is still a District 13. Which everyone thought was long gone. So I think is Katniss could travel anywhere, I think she would want to travel to District 13 to see for herself is it really still there. That is why i think she would want to travel there.

hlawson3 good job on your blog. It was very detailed and good.
I am currently reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and I am on page 84. If my main character, Brian Robeson could travel anywhere in the world, I think it would be back to his home with his mother in New York. He is stranded in the Canadian Wilderness and he wants to go home. There is no other place he would want to be than with his mom. Even though he was on his way to visiting his dad, he hasn’t really liked him ever since the divorce. That is the only reasonable place Brian would want to be going at this point in the book.
mwilby4:
Keep up the good responses!
mrosario4:
Great job Mikey, well written.
I am reading The Dangerous Days of Daniel X, by James Patterson. I am on page 134. The character I choose is Daniel X. I think Daniel X would travel to mars. Daniel X is an alien hunter and if mars really did have aliens he would go there to kill them.
athomas6 great job
nbrook6 great job
mwilby4 good job bud, keep up the good work.
cnechodom4 great job
cnechodom4 great job
Enchanted by Alethea Kontis im on page 27. My character is Sunday she is very whimsical and has an almost hipsterey personality and she loves poetry, writing, and reading. If I could send Sunday anywhere in the world I would send her to Paris because its very chic and is a big place of poetry which Sunday loves so she would go and see that. Paris is very picture perfect and Sunday lives somewhere that is not its tall wood and very dark. So to give her a change of setting Paris would be perfect. And she would love it I’m sure.
@mwilby4 awesome job on your blog!
@acuccia6
great job on your blog, keep up the great work.
I am currently reading Starters by Lissa Price and I am on page 309. The main character in my book is Callie, who is a poor 16 year old orphan, squatting in abandoned building with her little brother, Tyler and friend, Michael because everyone between the ages twenty and sixty were killed in the Spore Wars. In the beginning of the book, if Callie could travel anywhere in the world, it would be a disturbing place called Prime Destination, run by a mysterious figure called the Old Man. He hires teens to rents their bodies to Ender who want to be young again. If she goes there, the renter will pay her tons of money to rent her body for a month that would be enough to buy a house and plenty of food. Even though it breaks her heart to leave her sickly, 7 year old brother alone with Michael, at the time she knows it has to be done, if it means they can have enough money to live a normal life again.
JHerrera4,
Good job on your post! You clearly answered the blog question.
Sphillips4,
Good job on your post! Keep up the good work!
I am reading The Host, and I am on page 463. My character is Wanda (Wanderer). My character would want to travel to Earth, Wanda traveled to many planets, and earth is her favorite planet. She has lived on 9 planets and she loves earth.
The book I am currently reading is, “The Lord of the Rings the Two towers,” written by J.R.R. Tolkien and I am on page 194. One of the characters in my book is Pippin, a hobbit with brown hair and brown eyes. If he could travel anywhere I think he would travel to Ireland. I think this because he loves to run around in giant fields and sing. He also would like the small settlements that are scattered around. Also, he loves to explore new places and meet new people.
Jlett6 Great job on the blog!
JHerrera4 Great details. Good work!
I am reading the stand by Stephen king; I am on page 1127 out of 1439. If I could pick one place to pick for one of the main characters it would be France, for Frannie. I choose this place because France is the city of love. Fran is a lover, she always likes people, she never argues, and she never fights with anybody. Another character in the book, Stu Redman would rather be in Texas than anywhere else in the world. Stu is a hill Billy, Stu runs a gas station in Braintree, Texas, drinking diet coke and eating payday bars with his buddies all day long.
I am currently reading Titanic by John Welshman, and I am on page 64. The story Titanic mentions a guy named Lawrence Beesley. Lawrence Beesley took a teaching post as a science master, and then he became a teacher, then he became interested in religion. If Lawrence could travel anywhere in the world, in my opinion it would probably be Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls because he likes to study and do science. He could study Niagara Falls and the things that occur there, and the things that go on in certain places of Niagara Falls, like the water.
@alissamills3 Great job on your blog, I liked how specific and detailed you were in your answer, great job.
@mmoffitt6 Great Blog, I liked the place you chose for your character, great job.
The book i am currently reading is 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. I am also on page 122 of 374. The character I chose was katniss because she is courageous and smart. I think she would travel to somewhere where she has money, wouldn't be trapped to go into the games, and a place where her and her family are safe. She is very concerned about her family and doesn't want to let them down.
jlett6: You always do a great job! I love using your for an example.
athomas6: try to work on making your posts longer! but other than that, good job.
The book I am reading is The Limit, written by Kristen Landon. I am on page 46. My character Matt would travel to a better world. I say this because he is scared and he doesn't want to stay in the work house forever.
athomas6 cool post!
nbrook6 I like the detail you used.
The book i am currently reading is Monster high 3 by Lisi Harrison. I am on page 135 and a character in my book is Clawdeen. She is the youngest wolf out of her six siblings, and that can annoy her sometimes. One place i think she could go is New York because, she has a overachiever personality and she's is known as the cool, hip, beautiful kid at school. So i think she would fit right in,adding on that she was asked to play in a movie but denied it because her friends Frankie and Melody were stealing her spotlight. In New York she can start on her own, and do she wants.
@apinkney3.. that book sounds interesting and keep up the good work.
@mrossis4.. africa would be an amazing place to explore
The book I was reading is Gold by Chris Cleave and I was on page 120. The character I’m choosing is Sophie who is also the main character in the story. Sophie is an eight year old girl who is fighting a recurring case of leukemia. Throughout the book Sophie is trying to show everyone that she’s not that sick and nobody should be worried about her but she knows she is slowly getting sicker and sicker every day. Since Sophie can’t risk getting sick being an around a large crowd I would think she would want to watch her mom compete in the Olympics in France especially when her mom is making a difficult choice of to stay with Sophie or go to the Olympics for her last try at the gold medal.
jzhang6 great post! I really want to read that book.
Cnechodom4 good job you used a lot of details and that seems like a good book.
The book i am currently reading is Daniel X by James Patterson.I am on page 115. The main character is Daniel X of course and if he could travel to any place of the world i think he would travel back in time to save his parents becaus ethey were killed by the strongest alien on the planet and i don't think Daniel liked that.
The book iam readding is November Blues by Sharon Draper and iam on page 38. the character i'm chhosing is November who is the main character in this book.she is in high school and is pregnant. Her boyfriend died like 2 months ago in a group he was in called the Warriors of Distinction.If November could travel anywhere i think she would go to hawaii so she can let loose and enjoy life.
Jzhang6 great job on your post.
Jonesc4 looks great and your book looks interesting.
jzhang6:Good job on your post I think u did a great job
cchummack6: I think u told about your story very neatly! Great job!
The title of my book is the boy’s handbook and the author of my book is [Walter Dean Myers] the pg. 152 is the page that I am currently reading. The character that I am going to choose is Fred. He is the owner of the barber shop that the main character- works at and he teaches the main character how to be a man. And he is a wise person so I would think that he would go to china. I believe that he would like to go to china because they got old. and wise people there too and he would be very comfortable and fit in more there.
@mrossis4.. Africa would be an amazing place to explore
mwebster4..good job on your blog and good job detailing.
I'm reading 39 clues bone mystery and I'm on page 50. The person that I pick from the book is Mat. Why i picked him is because he is always playing outside and with bugs and is in the woods. He would go perfect in the rainforest playing with all of there bugs and find mystery's there. Mat Is very different from his sister who loves to read books 24/7. Mat would fit perfect in the jungle it just seems like just him.
jFlowers3 that was good I like the way you told it to us
mWebster4 good blog you made picture your book.
The book I'm reading is Acceleration by Graham McNamee. I am currently on page 62. The character in my book is Wayne and he works in a lost and found place for a train station. I think he would want to go to the author of one of the books he found. The book he found was of murders and crazy things that the owner of the book did. In this book he's very interested in the book and wants to know a lot about this person.
@amills3 good job on the blog I like your book!
@aanzivino6 good blog but a little longer would be good.
I have just started the book Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen. I am only on page 10 out of 423 so I cannot say much about any of my characters quite yet. The last book I read was, Sound Bender, by Lin Oliver & Theo Baker. It had 262 pages. One of the main characters was Leo, a 13 year old boy whose parents died in a tragic plan wreck. In the book, Leo travels to an isolated island in the middle of the South Pacific. He goes there to save dolphins from a machine made to torture them. If Leo were to travel to another place, it would probably be the The Amazon Rain Forest. I believe this because he loves helping animals and science. In the Amazon Rainforest, there are hundreds of species, and many that are endangered. I think that he would do as much as he could to save everyone of them.
@Hlawson3 Perfect Blog!!
@athomas6 Is that a good book?
I am reading Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. I am currently on page 13 and the main character is Melody. Melody has a mental disease that makes her not able to talk and have muscle spasms but they have not said directly what the disease is called. If Melody could go anywhere I think she would want to go to a library. Melody is very smart even though she can’t talk and all she ever wants to do is learn more.
Great job tbolton4!
Keep up the good work kchrisopulos3.
The book that i am reading right now is the book called Scat. I am currently on page 217. This book is by the author Carl Hiaasen.The charecter I am picking today is Bunny Starch, she is the most feared biology teacher. If she could travel anywhere I think she would travel to Canada. I think that because she is canadian and she still has not been to canada. Her family is originally from the United States so I find that akward. That is where I think she would travel.
aposey6, Good job you had perfect details and explained everything perfect
ehunziker4, Great job keep it using great details
The book I am reading is the Roar by Emma Clayton, and I am on page 125. The main character is Ellie, she was kidnapped by a crazy old man who stole her from her home when she was young, she was kept in his space ship prison for a decade. She thinks about one place she would love to be, home. In fact the current thing she is trying to do in the book is to get home. Home is the one place on the earth that has her brother, and her parents.

Awesome job cmarquez3 I like your post.
The book im currently reading is Evercrossed by Elizabeth Chandler and im on page 64. My main character is Ivy. I think Ivy would like to be at the beach. Ivy would like to go the beach beacause last year her love Tristan died. She wants to forget about the pass. She wants nothing more than to sip lemonade, hang out with her friends, and lie down on the beach.
Nice job on your post!! Cmarquez3
