I am currently reading "fairest" by Gail Carson Levine,on page 31.If I had to take the place of a character in my book, I would choose the main character Aza because she is a good singer.Aza has a magic mirror and when she looks in to it she turns beautiful.Also she lives in a big kingdom.I would LOVE to be a good singer and look pretty when i want too, and live in a magic kingdom.
I am reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and i am on page 126. If i could take the place of anyone in my book it would be Jack Frost. Jack is the main bad guy of the book and he is the reason that Bod (the main charcter) is living in a graveyard. Mr.Frost is the guy who killed Bod's family and tried to kill Bod. Jack is a skilled assassin that works with other killers named jack. Also all the Jacks have special powers that they use to track and kill their victims. Jack is a silent but dealy killer thatuses a sharp knife to thrust into his victims. last Jack is organized with his actions and uses a check list to mark the people he has killed.
My book is called “The Romeo and Juliet Code”. The author is “Phoebe Stone”. I am currently page 113. If I were to take place of anyone in my book it would have to be Felicity. I would pick Felicity because if I were her as a little girl I would say something about being left with her uncle and grandma. I would say something because I am a little girl and I want to be with my parents at least when I am young because when you’re young you wouldn’t want to be separated by your parents cause they are your parents plan and simple. Also it would be hard to leave my child with a sibling for so long because I would miss my child am sure any parent would.
amartin3 Good Job!
apossey6 Your book seems good!
My book is called the 39 clues into the gauntlet by Margaret Haddix and I’m on page 135. If there was any person I would want to be in this book it would be Dan Chalil. I would take his spot because he funny, playful, and a cool kid that all relates to me a lot because he is nothing like his sister just like me. I really like that’s me but just in the book. Dan is nothing like anybody in his family he just wants to show the world what he can do best is play sports and eat candy.
bking3 good job on your blog and thats a real good book your reading.
apossey6 i like the way you told me about your person good job.
I am currently reading The False Prince and i am on page 97. If i had to take the place of any character is would probably be the king. I would be the king because throughout the book so far the king doesn't really do anything. Also they make the king sound really cool so yea.
I am reading 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Burnett, and I am on page 78. If I could take the place of a character in my book, I would be Dickon. I would pick him because he is really nice and kind to everybody. He loves animals so much that he could understand what they are saying and he knows foxes, squirrels, and birds' nests. Also, everybody, especially Mary thinks he is trutworthy.
@aposey6- Good job!
@amartin3- Nice blog!
great job on your blog mglaeser3 and bking3.
I am reading Needful Things by Stephen King. I am on page 270
If I had to take the place of one of the characters in my book, it would be Alan Pangborn. I chose Alan because he is the only one who will not but things from Needful things. When The citizens of Castle rock Maine buy things from this news store they are asked to play a prank on another citizen. This eventually sends the town into a chaos. But Alan stays out of it and he will be safe.
aposey6 good post I hope you enjoy your book

I am reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and I am on page 79. If I had to take the place of one character in the book, I would take the place of Jordan Baker. Jordan is a famous athlete. She is the only character in the book who doesn't have something wrong with them. I also like her personality.
@aposey6 That's a really good book.
@bking3 Good job on your blog!
I am recently finished Peter and the Shadow Thieves by Ridley Pearson with 598 pages. If I could be any character in the book I would probably be Peter. Not just because he is the main character but because of his personality. He is very brave and heroic. Peter gets to do some cool things in the book such as flying. I have always wanted to fly. The journeys he takes in the book are journeys that no one gets to experience in their life time. He is a great leader in many ways. He leads in the book and does not follow. He shows bravery and gets to fight shadow thieves. If I could be anyone, I would most definitely want to be Peter.
Great job aposey6. Keep it up!
Great job amartin3! Nice blog!
I finished Divergent by Veronica Roth. If I could take the place of anyone in Divergent it would be Tris. I would take the place of Tris because she is Divergent. Divergence is a very rare faction and the most special in my eyes. I hope to be honest, selfless, smart, peaceful and brave like Tris.
Great work JHerrera4!
I always wanted to read that book, i hope you enjoyed it. blythgoe4
The book that I am currently reading is Lost and Found by Anne Schraff and I am on page 45. If I could take the place of one of the characters I would take Darcy’s place. I would take her place because she goes through a lot and get bullied a little at school and everyone thinks she is a nerd. Me being Darcy I would show and let everyone know that even though I’m different I’m still here and standing tall. I would say that me and Darcy are a little similar in some of her situations.
The book that im currently reading is The Emperor Of Nihon-Ja, I am currently on page number 429. The person in my book that i'll take the place of is Shigeru. I would take the place of Shigeru because he is the emperor of is country. Also he is the only one that survives in the book, because every one else dies in a war. That is why I would like to take the place of Shigeru.
@acash, good job keep up the good work.
@ehunziker4, wonderful blog keep it up.
The book I am currently reading is Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies and I am currently on page 214. The person in my book that I would like to take place with is Celeste because she is going to her aunt's dauther's wedding.She is also going to be wearing a peach colored dress.I think she will have a very fun time at the wedding.That is why I would like to take the place of Celeste.
@cmarquez3 ,great work on your reason
@acash3 great job I would take her place too
I just finished reading The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate. Out of all the characters in this book, the one I would choose to be would be Julia. I would be Julia because she is always nice and responsible and she is an artist. She is also the one who gives Ivan his art supplies, and encourages him to be an artist. She is also very caring and concerned about the welfare of Ivan and his friends.
I recently finished "The House of Hades" by Rick Riordan. If I had to take the place of one character in my book it would be Annabeth. She is smart and sometimes sarcastic with blond hair and blue-gray eyes (like ME). Really, the only differences are that she is a demigod that has a HUGE fear of spiders (I'm obviously not a demigod and I don't fear spiders) and she has gone on some pretty crazy quests (the only "quest" like things I've ever done were go camping and travel with my family, not NEARLY as dangerous). it would be interesting to experience life as a daughter of Athena: always winning with great battle strategy skills, retrieving the Athena Parthenos on a solo quest, having a totally awesome boyfriend. . . Oops. Did I just write that. :)
Great job LFrank4!! Julia sounds like a pretty cool character. I'd like to be her as well. :)
Nice job ehunziker4!! I just started that book! It's sooo AMAZING!
Good job, acash3! I liked your description of Darcy!
Great job, mrossi4! I loved reading all your details!
I am currently reading Confetti Girl by Diana Lopez and I am on page 50. If I had to take place of a character in my book, I would choose Apolonia Flores. I would choose her because she is always asking questions and is wanting to find answers. She and her best friend are like twins and they both are trying to find answers to unsolved questions. I can be like her if I have a question that needs an answer.
aposey6
Good blog!!
ehunziker4
Great blog!!
I am currently reading Fairest by Gail Carson Levine, and I am on page 163. If I could take the place of one character it would be Ivi. Ivi is the evil queen and I always love villains. Another reason why I would want to be her is so that I would stop myself (her) from treating Aza terribly.
@athomas6
The king in my book is similar to yours.
@Jherrera
You did a good job explaining why you wanted to be Peter.
i would take place of a friend of charlies named Emma. because she has the power to fly whenever she wants.i would wanna take here place so i could get to places faster. i am reading charlie bone and the invisible boy. page 400. author is Jenny Nimmo.
great job aposey6
good job on the blog amartin3
I am reading The Long Walk by Stephen King. I am done with the book. I would not take the place of any of the characters in the book. I would have to walk in the race for days and days if I took place of one of the characters in the book. I could die if I stopped walking.
ehunziker4 great job
lwithers6 great job
I am reading True Legend by Mike Lupica and I am on page 278. If I could take the place of any character in the book it would be the main character Drew. He is a high school basketball player. He is also the best high school basketball player in the nation. I would want to take his place because his love for his sport is so strong. He is also a very dedicated person to everything he does. He has a laid-back personality that I would like to have.
@aposey6, i wish i could sing to... great blog!
@acash3 great blog! I want to read that book.
I am currently reading the book, "Bioshock: Rapture" written by John Shirley and I am on page 407. If I could take the place of a character in the book I would take the place of Bill McDounagh. I would take his place because he goes around and has seen what the city is becoming instead of what others think it is. He also built some of the foundations of the city and repairs it. Bill knows the creator of Rapture and helps by giving advice. He also helps the police by helping them find the gangs and thugs in the city.
JHerrera4 Nice job on the blog!
LFrank4 Great job on the blog!
I am currently reading “Serendipity and me” by Judith Roth and I am on page 312. If I could take the place of one of the characters in my book it would probably be Serendipity. Serendipity is a cat that becomes the pet of the main character Sara. I would take the place of serendipity because I would like to see how she views Sara and what’s going on with her father. Also, I would take serendipity’s place because cats are my favorite animal.
@lwithers6 I really liked your blog! It was written nicely.
@amartin3 Awesome blog! That book sounds cool.
I am reading The Elite by Kiera Cass.I am on page 171. If I had to choose a character to be I would be America. Who is the main character because she has so many decisions to make in her life that could impact her dramatically. Which I believe would be cool to have.
bking3 Great job! Keep up the good work.
amartin3 Good job your blog was very interesting to read.
The book I just finished reading is The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan. If I could take the place of one character, i would take the place of Annabeth. In this book, she had to take the sky from Luke, Camp Half-Bloods enemy. If it was me, i would just ignore him and let him die. But she's Annabeth, she has a kind heart, and she still believes that Luke will change. If i was her i would also make sure not to lose Percy at the dance, so Annabeth doesn't disappear. But if she didn't nothing would really happen. I would also like to take Bianca's place. When they were in the desert, she shouldn't have sacrificed herself, she should have let them all fight together. Then i would also want to take Percy's place, to make sure he didn't run off like that, and made sure he convinced Bianca to stay. Also it would be cool to be able to control the sea.
Mrossi4, wonderful job on your blog! I loved the book House of Hades!
sknowles6, good job on your blog, it sounds like a awesome book
I just finished reading Allegiant by Veronica Ross and it has 526 pages. If I could switch places with any character in the book I would choose Tris. I would switch places with her because towards the end of the book she decides to sacrifice herself instead of letting her brother go on a suicide mission to save the city. In the process Tris was killed and if I switched places with her I would find another way for them to get through the death serum then sacrificing someone. I didn’t think Tris deserved to die even though she did it for love.
Good job JHerrera4! Keep up the good work!
Good job on your blog, JZhang6!
The book i am currently reading is Needful Things by Stephen King. I am on page 497. If i was to choose any character to be in the book i would be the sheriff Alan. Because it seems like in the book he is the only person who is really observant and is not dumb like some of the other characters in the book. Alan has the smarts and the ability to tell if someone is lying or not. I would defiantly be him if i had to choose.
aposey6 great job on your blog!
bking3; good job you have good reasons.
The book that I am currently reading is called doctor sleep by Stephen king. I am on page 323. If I had to switch places with one of my characters in my book it would be Robert because he is super smart and intelligent. Also he is kind of like an undercover spy for the police.
RQualls4 keep up the good work, nice details.
kaesposito4 nice job, keep up the good work.
I am currently reading the Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares, and I am on page 22. If I could take the place of one character in the book it would be Lena. I would take her place because she is a good friend to everyone in the sisterhood. She also cares a lot about her friends and would do anything for them. Lastly I would pick Lena because she puts others before herself, and she is very respectful.
@sknowles6 Great job explaining what that person does.
@mmoffitt6 Great job, I love how you explained who she is.
For my book, Hide and Seek (by Katy Grant) (completed), the character I would trade places with is Steven Makovic. He is the father of two boys, Ryan and Tyler (Sam and Jack). The whole plot of the book revolves around how he took the boys away from their mom and ran off, and they’ve been gone for a year and a half. I would trade places with this wacko because in doing so, I could not steal the kids, and therefore prevent the book from occurring, but it would also save the kids’ lives from being permanently scarred; one of the boys being hospitalized with an appendix disease; the boys’ mom being traumatized; their family being completely destroyed; the dad being sent to prison; and the main character being hit in the head with a rifle, dropped off a cliff, then forced to walk about 90 miles across a scorching hot Arizona desert. I think that this could be in the best interest for everyone, as you can probably tell.
@LFrank4: nice job! I liked your details, and I think it’s neat that you’re reading a book about art and that the person who you chose seems very involved with creativity, something everyone should try. Great post!
@mrossi4: awesome! I haven’t read that book yet, but I hope to soon. I thought Annabeth’s hair was brown, but maybe I was wrong. (And yes, you did say that.) Nice job!
I was reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I am currently done with the book. If i could be in the place of any of the characters I would choose Eragon. I would choose Eragon because he is the main character and he has a pet dragon. He also never gets hurt/killed. He is also close to my age.
@amartin3
great blog.
@mrossi4
Sounds like a good book.
I am reading kissed by angle by Elizabeth Chandler and I am now finished with it. If I had to be one character in the story it would have to be will. The reason why I would tale will’s place is because first we have one thing in common, we both like painting. Another reason why I would take the place of will is because he is always there for ivy’s rescue when she’s in danger and it feels good to be there for someone, like there own personal superhero. Will is pretty chill and seems like a good vibe to around you so that’s another reason why I would have to take his place in this book.
@aouellette thats someone great to look up too.
@hlawson well that's good that you would want to be the smarter person i would probably choose the same thing.
I am currently reading football hero by Tim green and I am on page 178. the person that I would switch places with is thane Lewis. because he gets what ever he wants. all because he is a great football player and is going to the NFL draft. but thane brings Ty along because he has one guess ticket. Ty was super exited because he did not have to cut wood no more or he did not have to get abused.
good job aposey6
I am currently reading Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and I am on page 89. If I were to take place of any character in the book, I would want to be Sam. Sam is very chilled and relaxed most of the time and never really lets anything bother her. She gets along with almost everybody so she has a lot of good friends. She’s also very creative with making up stories to tell people and is very inspirational with all of her stories she tells. I know that because she’s helped Charlie in multiple different situations and always fixes his problems.
Bking3, good details!
Blythgoe4 I’ve heard that book is really good!
bking3 I love the switch
I am reading Alliance by Mark Frost and I am on page 206. If I could replace one character, that character would be Will West. He has super human abilities that help him run faster, and heal faster. I would like to have those abilities because I plan on doing cross country in high school, so that would help a lot. He also has telekinesis, which would help me with test and talking to people.
I am reading Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and am currently on page 87.
The one character I would want to take the place of would be the main character Guy Montag. His character is experiencing many life changing and perspective altering event throughout the story. I believe that the only way to truly understand what he’s going through is to experience it firsthand. I would switch places with Montag if only to feel what he feels, thinks what he thinks. Maybe I would try to handle the problems and tasks he has to with my way of thinking to see if my decisions alter anything that happens so far in the story. It would be the ultimate form of “understanding a character”.
aposey6: great job on your blog. I seems a lot of detail was put into it.
bking3: great job on your blog. You seem to understand your character.
I'm reading the book white fang and I am currently on page 37. IF I could take any character I would choose king Phillip's dog. I say that because he was kidnapped. I would be him so that I could escape. The dog was very well treated as well and sold for 100 dollars.
@kbergman3 I really liked your post your book sounds good.
@qnutnell6 I also liked your post good job prom king.
I am finishing up reading One For The Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt, and I am on page 196. If I had to choose a character to take place of I would choose the main character, Carley Connors. The reason why is because she is very brave! Her mom ended up in a hospital for months, and Carley has had to travel to different orphanages every since then. She's brave by being strong and not completely breaking down in bits. Unlike me, if I was in that situation I would've broken down in a hurry.
nbrook6 Nice blog this week.
kkaufmann6 Great details in your blog!
My book is House Rules by Jodi Picoult and I'm on page 230. If I was to pick a character to be I would be the detective. I would be the detective because I like criminal justice and stuff like that. All the other characters are either crazy or a murder. The detective is honestly the only normal character is the book.
Aouellette- I was going to read that book! Good choice
Mrosario- that sounds like a good book good job!
I am currently reading "At First Sight" by Nicholas Sparks. I'm on page 200. If i had to take the place of a character in my book it would be Jeremy because he found out something crazy that his wife did and won't talk to her about it. If I were him, I would talk to her or leave her because it's not right at all. Also, i would re think the marriage he's about to go through.I just think he should fix what's going on.
amartin3 Your blog was really interesting and detailed!
JHerrera4 I loved your blog! It's very detailed and long.
My book is The Big Time by Tim Green and I just finished. If I could switch places with any character, it would definitely be Troy. The reason I chose Troy is he gets to hang out with all the Falcon players. He is the reason they are so successful so all the players love him. Another reason I would switch with Troy is he gets paid 10 thousand dollars every game. After just 1 season, Troy has enough money to support himself through college! There is no one I would rather be than Troy in my book.
lfindley6,
Great job on your blog! Your book sounds very interesting!
jclark3,
Very descriptive blog! Good job!
I am reading "Secrets in the shadows" by Anne Schraff, i am on page 126. If i had to take a place of one of my characters in my book it would be Korie. Korie is a smart, beautiful girl and she is friends with everyone.Korie is also secretive with people because she dousn't really trust anyone, and shes just diffrent from everyone else. Shes just an amazing person to be around because family means a lot to her.
@amartin3 Great blog!
