I’m reading spirit Animals, Wild Born by Brandon Mull. I’m on page number 25. IF I only had one word to describe my book it would be fascinating. I choose that word because it clearly is fascinate me. I got the hint of mystery with the amazing fantasy I would want to be in. It’s also very interesting how the story is has view of all four characters. In the first chapter it takes your breath away on the description on how they like in the future but there culture is like back then without machines. Also how chapters 2-5 are about the characters in the stories.
I am currently reading Download Drama, I am on page 247 which is the end of the book. The author of my book is Celeste O. Norfleet. One word i would use to describe my book is drama. Why because my book is mainly about drama, It even has drama in the title. Another reason why i pick drama is because in one part of the book the girl kenisha has a huge fight with a superstar, which kenisha dances for. Kenisha mom died, and she lives with her grandma. Kenisha, Jade (Kenisha sister), and Kenisha's grandma has to pay their moms hospital bill which Kenisha and Jade knew nothing about at first.

Good job on blog.!
I am reading Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag by Oliver Bowden. I’m on page 222. If I had to choose one word it would be extreme because it has people raiding ships. Edward Kenway fights the British. Blackbeard helps Edward Kenway establish his authority. Edward Kenway is a pirate in the West Indes.
Bmcphadden5 good job on your post.
drivera6 good job on your post.
I am currently reading the book A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer I am now on page 31. If I had to choose a word to describe my book I would choose sad because in the book Nhamos mama was trying to force her into marrying a cruel man. Another reason that I choose sad is because in the book Nhamos auntie died and it was very sad to the people of her village, everyone knew her all around Africa!
DlanderSonclose6 great job keep it up
Drivera6 great blog sounds like an interesting book.
The book I am reading is called Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and I'm currently on page 153. One word I would use to describe my book is interesting. I really like mysteries and books that give you bits of information one at a time until all of the information fits together like a puzzle and makes sense. The thing I especially love with these types of books is that "Ah-ha!" moment at the end and the understanding of why everyone did what they did or said what they said. That thrill I get from reading the type of book my book is, is why I say that Hoot is interesting. It draws in my attention as the book progresses.
@drivera6 Sounds like a great book you have on your hands, I might check it out myself.
@Bmchadden5 Great blog! It follows the requirements for the blog very nicely.
I am currentyl reading " The paladin prophecy" by: Mark Frost. i am on page 213-549. If i were to choose one word about this book it would probably be boring. I mean, nothing was really THAT good up to pg. 100. After page 100 it started to get good but it wasn't really as actiony as i expected. In the book all it really is from 1-100 is like 'oh boy sees text, it says run.' 'He runs surprisingly fast but they are right on his tail.' The book doesn't really explain things as fast as it needs to. It will say something then it takes another 60 pages to finally figure out what it said.
@Drivera6
good blog it was detail filled
@bmcphadden5
great blog!
I'm reading The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket and I am on pg.32. The one word I would use to describe my book would be SAD. So far nothing good has happened in my book. The book starts off with the children's parents dying and their huge expensive mansion burning down. Then since their parents died the children are all orphans. And after that they get adopted by a weird man. To top it off the house is very small, dirty, and old.
I am reading The Alienist by Caleb Carr, and I am currently on page 20.
If I had to describe my book in one word it would be historical. This book is in fact a historical fiction novel and it includes many historical locations and characters. In it Theodore Roosevelt is the chief of police and one of the main characters is an alienist, or to simplify, a psychologist for criminals. Another historical element that is found in the story would be found on page 13 where a young boy by the name of Stevie was smoking a cigarette. An unusual sight today but a common one years ago, just another thing that makes this book so rich in history.
Dgreek5 you have lots of great details but It doesn't sound like a good book.
The book I am currently engaged in reading is The Alienist by Caleb Carr and I am on page 20. If I were to describe the book in one word it would be historical. The book is a historical fiction novel, it contains a few historical characters, such as Theodore Roosevelt who is the chief of police, and the alienist, or to simplify, a criminal psychologist. An other douse of history this book provides is a scene where a young boy by the name of Stevie smokes a cigarette to relieve stress. An odd sight now but an all but too common one then, just an other way this book is as historically informative as it is enjoyable to read.

I love drama books i can never put them down
tfoye6
That sounds cool and interesting
I am reading “Theodore Boone: the accused” by John Grisham, and I am on page 40. If I had to choose one word that describes the essence of my book I would say intriguing. I chose intriguing because it has certain elements that makes it stand out among other mystery stories. There always something going on and there never a dull moment from the beginning of the adventurous thrill ride to the ending. You don’t normally see a kid your age so serious about what they do and so determined and focused. There’s always something that catches your attention and that’s what I like about this book. Theo keeps readers on the edge of their seats and always has readers coming back for more. @ tfoye6, make sure to have 5 sentences, and you did a good job! @ Bmcphadden5 good word choice! It really does have drama in the title ha.
I am currently reading The Last Apprentice Revenge of the Witch and I am on page 120.
One word I could choose to describe my book is horror because the cover of the book shows it all. Also it says on the back that "For years, Old Gregory has been the spook for the county." "Ridding the local villages of evil."
Nice response jglover2
Good job dgreek5.
I am reading “The Son of Neptune” and I have finished the book. If there was one word that I would use to describe this book it would be the word Greek. This is the word I would choose because the whole book is about a boy that is the child a Greek god. In the book Percy has to kill a giant made out of metal and unite the Greek and Roman camps for demigods.

fwbougher great details and I love historical books.
I am currently reading Mike Lupica’s “Game Changers”, and I am on page 16 out of 201. One word I would use to describe my book is sporty. I choose that word because everything in my book has to do with sports. Everybody in my book plays at least 2 or 3 sports. For instance Ben (the main character in my book), plays football and basketball.
@ wsammel6 Sounds like a good book!
@Xmatos5 good response!
I am reading “Code Name Verity” by Elizabeth Wein. I am currently on page 24. One word to describe my book would be “confusing”. Why? Because the time period of my book (1943) is very proper and they spoke different so it’s a little hard to understand what is happening in my book but I get the obvious things that the book is contributing. One other reason is because the vocabulary is a little complex but I can decipher what the word means just by re-reading the text.
I just finished the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. If i had to choose one word to describe my book I would choose action. I would choose that because throughout the book it is filled with a lot of fighting and chases. The book is about Percy Jackson being accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. By that happening it is causing chaos throughout Mount Olympus.
afarlin5: Great comment. I like your book.
GPettit2:I have read your book and it is a really good book.
I am currently reading Prisoner B-3087 and I’m on page 156 out of 256. If one word could describe my book it would be realistic. It is realistic because it is about the holocaust and a boy’s journey during it. It also gets to realistic sometime because people are getting shot left and right. It also is a true story that even makes more realistic and horrifying.
good blog dgreek5
nice job Abedard6
The book I am reading is Hideout by Gordon Korman and I am on page 155. If I had to choose one word to describe my book so far, it would be sneaky. I think this book is sneaky because the characters are sneaky. These kids are hiding a dog from Mr. Palomino, Swindle, at there summer camp. You would think they would get caught, but no.
drivera6: good job. keep up the good work
Bmcphadden5:good job keep up the good work
drivera6 good job
Xmatos5 great job, your post was very descriptive.
I am currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I am on page 30. If I could describe this book with one word I would describe it as suspenseful. This book is suspenseful because you never know what will happen next and it leaves you wanting to keep reading. This book is really good.
I am currently reading Shatterd the book is by Paul Langan and I am on page 30.If i could choose one word on my book i would choose "Interesting".The book gives very great detail.It seems so much like realistic fiction and it makes you wonder can this happen in real life.This book is in a series of book and once you read this book you want to read the other books.
drivera6 very great work
xmatos5 Very good descriptive
I am reading The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze and I am on page 168. If I had to describe my book in one word it would probably be harsh because it has a lot of killing in it. This man kills Eliza’s mom and dad and is torturing her brother and sister. Eliza manages to escape the raid in her castle and she is determined to kill that man. In order to do that, she goes to fight in his army under disguise to become a better fighter and find out where he is. She can’t take it anymore and try’s to escape his army and almost gets put in a death camp.
GPettit2: sounds good!
snturner3: i've read that book. it is very good. good job
My book is called The Rivalry by John Feinstein and I am currently on page 153 in the book. If I had to pick one word to describe my book it would be mysterious. It is only a football book but I never know what is going to happen. I also read the last book in the series and there were so many different plot twists throughout the whole book. I can’t wait till the end because I just know something big is going to happen.
Wow ncrawford6 that sounds interesting.
Wsammel6 im not into that kind of stuff but that sounds cool.
The title of my book is called Drama High:Holidaze. The book is by L. Divine, and Im on page 68.If I had to choose one word to decribe this book it would be dramatic. I chose this word because this book is about drama obviously, and people also die. They also make a big deal out of things. "Misty has made it her mission to sabotage Jay any way she can. She has the unique advantage of being an original hater from the neighborhood and at school." Its very messy at Jayd's school and I feel bad for her.
I am currently reading Nerds by Michael Buckley and i am on page 119. if i had to describe my book in one word I would choose the word cool. because my book is about spy's and being a secret agent. Being a spy is cool in my world. Thats all i wanted to be as a kid.
@jhern3 good job
@bmitchell2 nice job
I'm currently reading Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare and on page 402 and the genre is mystery. One word I would use to describe this is decieptful. It is deceiptive because there is so far 7 plot twists on the main characters of the book. One deception is that the main character whose name is Tessa has a demon as a father. Another is that Tessa's mother is a demon hunter. One crucial twist is that her brother (Nate) isn't her brother, he is actually her cousin adopted by her mother. So techinaly he is a brother in law and a cousin, wierd. I also want to use the made up word mysticon which is the combined word of mystery and action. The main character fights and tries to find someone which is a very myster type subject. This book is part toof a three part series and is just the prequel of another series by the same author.
oyakel4: Nice use of the word harsh.
abedard6: Your going to be dissapointed when your read the rest of book two. Also goo job.
One word to describe my book is humor. I chose this word because in my book big nate its very funny. the actions the main charcter does is hilarious.
@jmiller3 great blog
@jhern2 nice blog
I was reading the scorch trial by James Dashner I finished it about a week ago. If I could choose one word to describe my novel it would be exciting. The book had me going the whole way through it was like a movie in my head. The Scorch Trails was even better than the prequel “The Maze Runner”. If I could forget what I read then re-read it I would.
@jmiller3
great job on the blog.
@jhearn3
I like the blog keep up the good work!
im currently reading the importance of being earnest by oscar wilde.if i could discribe my book in one ,i would discribe it as confusing .it would be confusing becuase in some parts of the book would makes you say "WHAT!?" such as the quote from the book, "but you don't really mean to say that you couldn't love me if my name wasn't ernest?!" and that is why if i could discribe my book in one word it would be confusing
@Afalin
great job keep up the outstanding work on your blog
@jmiller3
awlsome job on your blog you did great
I am currently reading the book ghost hawk and am on page 10. I would choose the word suspenseful. I Chose this word because at the very beginning of the book , it starts suspense.
I am currently reading “Fake Me a Match” by Lauren Barnholdt and I am on page 168. It I had to choose one word, it would be ‘honesty’ because Avery is not being honest. Avery is in a student council and she is charge on a project called ‘matchmaking project’. When she started to match people up, she had an idea to make matches however she wants to, mostly because of her stepsister. But after three days, Ms. Tosh called her and asked if she matched people however she wanted to. I did not read the rest of the book, but I hope Avery would be honest and tell the truth.
@jglover2 Great descriptions!
@snturner3 Your book is interesting. Good blog!
@Bmcphadden5
Great post!
@emasio6
Great blog! keep up the good work.
I read the book The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green and I finished it. If I had to describe this book with one word I would chose romantic. This book is romantic because it is about two cancer patients, Hazel and Augusts, who meet in a support group and end up falling in love. Hazel and Augustus have both had cancer and when one of them gets it again the other helps and never leaves their side. Another reason this book is romantic is because Hazel and Augusts have a friend with cancer, Isaac, and he has a girlfriend who broke up with him when she finds out he will go blind.
I am reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I am currently on page 59. If I could choose one word to describe this book it would be intense. I choose this word because it’s basically what the book is about. People think Peeta is a traitor. And Katniss has the decision if she will become the Mockingjay and lead the rebellion. The rebellion in this book represents justice to the Capital and the Districts.

Sounds Great!

Nice blog!
My book that I am reading is called Hunger Games Catching Fire, i am currently in page 200. If I had to choos one word to describe my book it would be "dynamic." This book is filled with many outstanding surprises and a lot of action. Along with the interesting back story of the Hunger Games. This is why i would choose dynamic to be the word to describe this book.
dlandersonclose6, I would agree I've read the book and if I had to use a word to describe it I would use the same.
fwbougher2 good post it seems like it would be a historical book
I am currently reading The Ghost of Graylock by Dan Poblock, and I am on page 16. If I had one word to describe my book it would be scary. I picked scary because it has ghosts and is mysterious. It says in the first chapter that the building is also haunted and used to be an asylum for crazy kids. It was also used as a hospital and many kids died there.
Nice job Dgreek5
Bmcphadden5 great job
I just started reading “The Lost Hero” by Rick Riordan, and I am on page #83. I believe that if I had to choose one word, then that word would have to be enterprise. The main reason to why it would be an enterprise is because how Jason, Piper and Leo all have to go on an extraordinary quest that may endanger their lives, but that’s something that happens on a daily basis to all half-bloods. The definition of an enterprise is, ‘a project undertaken or to be undertaken, especially one that is important or difficult or that requires boldness or energy’ and their quest is something of utmost importance and it is very difficult. Also it is their first day a camp Half-Blood and there are a lot of rumors going around because of Percy Jackson’s disappearance and Annabeth trying so hard to find him, most of the campers believe the arrivals of Jason, Piper and Leo may be a bad omen.
@drivera6 - good job on your blog!
@xmatos5 - very good job!
I am reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I am on page 8 because I just stared. the one word I would choose to describe my book is creepy. It has a man who murdered this little boy's family and he escaped and hide in a graveyard. where there he could see the ghosts. he grew up in the graveyard with the ghost raising him as there own. The murdered has been looking for him for a long time. With the boy hiding in the graveyard it makes him invisible.
good job Bmcphadden5 great description.
great job dlandersonclose6
I am reading "The clue of the broken locket",
by carolyn keene. I am on page 11.
one word to describe my book is mystery
because first is the main genre.
There are these three girls that are trying to find something that happened on a building.
I like this book because the story is old like from the 60's.
I also like this book because the three girls are best friends
Nancy , George and Drew.
@drivera6 looks like a great book!
@xmatos5 great book!
I'm reading I, Emma Freke by Elizabeth Atkimson and I am on page 113.If I had only one word to describe my book it would be sad. The book is sad because the mother is always gone and on dates. Emma also only has one friend Penelope, who is two years younger than her. Donatella(Emma's mother) has a bead shop that Emma practically run.
tfoye6 great job!
bmcphadden5 good job!
I'm reading the book the "Witch and Wizard, The Gift" by James Patterson, Ned Rust and I'm on page 110. If I had to choose one word to describe my book it would be dramatic, because it draws my attention. Every time I finish a chapter the author ends it with a sentence making me want to read more. Also the main characters are being hunted down so it is very dramatic, how they survive and how they uses their "magic". One other thing is because it is a mix with fantasy and mystery that also add to the dramatic part.
Bmcphadden5 Great Response, there was a lot of detail.
MPickles6 Good job on the blog!
I am currently reading the book "A Day In The Life" By Manley Frost (I'm on page 57). One word that will thoroughly explain my book is the word "Inspirational". This book is about him and how he is surviving in the army, how life is, and what its like. At the beginning of the book there are also several notes that are thanking him for sending a plentiful amount of letters home from Iraq to several families. This book is inspirational because it has a great example of a role model that everyone should look up to because he is a hero of this country fighting for our freedom. Also, he is friendly and helps other families, and is a great inspiration to others.
@Bmcphadden5
and
@dlandersonclose6
You both did a great job!
I am currently reading The boy at the end of the world it is written by Greg van Eekhout and I am on page 140. Now, if I could choose one word to describe this book it would be adventurous. I choose this because Fisher is possibly the last human alive and he must fend for himself, but he does have the company of a robot and a mammoth named protein. But when he reads old hand writing from inside a cave saying that is another place with humans. So they must journey across dangerous landscapes and fight off some dangerous robots to assure the survival of the human race.
I was reading the Maze Runner by James Dashner and have finished it. If I were to choose one word to describe it, I would choose the word disturbing. I chose disturbing because the book is about a large group of teen boys that were put into a giant maze with monsters that come out at night. These monsters are giant robotic slugs that can inject the boys with a poison that can kill them unless they get the antidote, and even if they do get the antidote, it causes excruciating pain and can make them go insane. The boys are also forced to survive with almost nothing and taunted with the hope of finding the exit to an insolvable maze. And then as if the monsters, survival, and the insolvable maze wasn't enough, the people that sent the boys there wiped all of their memories except their names, which they later find out isn't even their real name. Throughout my reading of the book, I have thought about how disturbing the book is, so I chose that word to describe it.
snturner3: Nice blog, and it's great that you found a genre that you really like.
Xmatos5: Great job, the word you chose seems to really fit the book.
Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Cuirtis. Free because it was the time slavery just ended. also Fredrick dougles was in it, and he was always making speeches about it. The people were doing way more stuff that they used to not be able to do.they have more fun know, and Elijah wasa the first born out of slavery so he had no problem.
@drivera6 good job
@?Bmchadden5 nice
I am reading forceout by: Tim Green.I am on page number 23.If i had one word to describe the book it wouled be exhilerating.It's about theese two bestfriends competing for a spot on the baseball team.They've never had to compete against each other before.
Im currently reading Time For Andrew by Mary Downing Hahn. The word i would use is Creepy. Because Andrew describes the car ride all ghostly and creepy. When he finally reaches the place he starts to hear noises! and he once said he hears the sound of woman sobbing/ But finally he awakens to see a double of him, but he looks like he came from the grave!
Jmartin 3 Good job but remember to put the page number.
Mmercado good blog but you got to put the page.
I am currently reading Lord of the flies by William G. and im on page 77. If i had one word to describe my book it would be melancholy. This is because just about every other sentence has to to do with one of the characters insecurities or faults. Also A couple of characters die. I also hear the ending is depressing.
*Theres also a few periods where the children are begging for release.
drivera6... nice blog
Bmcphadden... Interesting and nice
I am reading Free Thaddeus by John Gosselink.I am on page 47, one word I would use to describe my book is odd. The reason I chose the word odd is that in my book the main character has an odd life. He spends his school year in in school suspension and is the school president. Also he eats nachos everyday for lunch, while he is in I.S.S. he is working on a case to get out of punishment.
@Bmcphadden5 great job sounds like an interesting book to read.
@tfoye5 great description sounds like an very entertaining story to read.
I am reading Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz and I am on page 60. If I had to describe my book in one word, the word would be exciting. The reason why I chose this word is because there is always one exciting part after another. For example, on page 54 one of Alex's squad pushed him over a trip wire and got shocked from a stun grenade. After that Alex has to carry a 55 pound backpack on a course that gives him 12 hours to complete, for the veterans they get 8 hours. This book will continue the get more exciting.
Good word drivera6
Interesting title tfoye6
I am on page 50 of the book pretty little liars by Stephanie Myers. If I had to choose one word to describe the book it would be boring. The reason I would choose the word boring is because it's mostly Introducing the people in the book. Like it said stuff about Aria moving back from Iceland. So it's not interesting stuff it's just introducing stuff and to me that's pretty boring
@jkoenig3 Good job!!
@jchandler5 that sounds like a good book!!
I am reading “The Book of the dead the mummy” by Larry Mike Garmon and I am on page 75. If I had to choose one word to describe this book it would be mysterious. I would choose mysterious because of all the questions and mysteries that happen in this book. The main characters need to find out why the mummy has appeared and how to get rid of it. So far in the book the mummy has appeared a couple times and he brought a friend with him the last time he appeared.
Bmcphadden5: nice job
snturner3: cool
I am currently reading the book "Slated" by Teri Terry, and I am on page 63. If I had describe this book in just one word, I would describe it as page-turner. I chose this word because the book is very suspenseful and it makes you want to keep reading. The book contains a lot of drastic elements that make the story more interesting. Every ending of a chapter leaves something that makes you want to continue reading. For those reasons, I am really enjoying the books so far.
| @kyesbik6 ; Great job. I really like mysterious books. |
| @diebanks2 ; Great response! I love the word melancholy. |
I am reading Flipped by Wendalin Van Draanen, I am currently on page 170. If i could describe my book in one word it would be different. I chose the word different because the book tells both perspectives of the story. Each perspective is different the boy thinks the girl is annoying and clingy. Then the girl thinks the the boy is in love with her. Both sides are very different but they don't realize that.
@drivera6 Good job explaining how it fascinates you.
@sbrown4 I have read some of those books and I agree that one is kinda boring.
I am currently reading bad girls don't die by Katie Alender. I am on page 117. I would say its interesting, in the book Alexis the main character is different and is really anti social but that's only half of her. she also is not shy or anti social about some things. The book is about a girl who changes completely. She starts to change over time as different things happen. The book doesn't leave you hanging, it always explains things. the book has gotten into lots of detail and is really starting to show the girl changing.
I am reading "Matilda" by Roald Dahl and I am on page 50. If I had to choose one word to describe my book I would choose "weird" because this family is really weird.In this book the main character "Matilda" is 4 years old but she knows how to read also she goes the library her self and reads a book.Her Dad does not want to buy her a book he does not like his daughter to read! He likes his daughter to watch TV and her Mom has no interest to Matilda. If her Dad was normal Dad he should be happy that his daughter is reading a book and if she want's a book he could buy it for her if he has money and her Mom should be helping her and have interest to her.
It could be a unique family but I think it's weird.
@Bmcphadden5 Good job.
@ snturner3 Great!
I am reading "Hide and seek" by Katy Grant and im on page 43. I would describe my book as rough (in a good way). its bumpy around the edges, one point its calm the next point its not. When the main character Chase rides his bike in the mountains of Arizona, he's happy and its daylight. Next the you know is that its getting dark and you have to be home by 6:00 and things bump into him on the way back home. So far its a good book.
good job yyoon3. I love that movie. yes, the family is weird(funny).
great blog Bmcphadden5
good job drivera6
wonderful job at anwering the blog asizer3. It seems interesting so I would love to read that book.
I am currently reading Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card and I'm on page 233.The word I would use to describe this book would be interesting because of a few reasons. The first reason is because it's a book about what happened after the war and I like that because not many book authors are creative enough to write about what happens after the main event or in this case the "war". The last reason it is the word I described it as, is because it brings in another big event which is actually another war. I think it is interesting because it is scientific fiction which is my second favorite type of book because of lines like "Ender get in the teleportation pod"pg215.
The book I am currently reading now is “Theodore Boone; The Abduction” by John Grisham. I’m on page 49 of 217. One word I would use to describe this book is mysterious. The book is mysterious because a young girl was either taken or ran away from home to go meet a pen pal who just got out of prison. Why would she do that? Was she taken or did she leave on her own? The book is mysterious because there are a lot of un answered questions.
drivera6 nice job.
Bmcphadden5 nice job
@drivera6 nice blog but you might want to type it in word next time few errors.
@bmcphadden5 sounds like a good book from the description you said keep up the great work.
I am reading The last apprentice Night of the soul stealer and I am on page 7. If I had to pick one word to describe my book it would be dark. The reason I would pick this is because in this book series there is always a dark creature that is very difficult to face, let alone kill. Thomas and the spook go yo various different dark places like the catacombs.Also the atmosphere is dark like on page 4, "It was dark, and my lantern cast disturbing shadows".That's why I would choose the word dark to describe this book.
@tfoye6 Sounds like a depressing book.
@snturner3 I watched the movie for that book.
@
The stor I'm reading is called Milkweed by Jerri Senelli and I and currently on page 45. So far this book s really good and interesting and I like it a lot. If I had to describe this book in one word that one word would be Crazy. The reason I choose this word is because so many things are happening to this boy, and it must be bad concidering the fact that it is in the time period of the Holocaust . Overall this is a really good and exciting book and I look forward the reading on.
Good job @jsanford5
I am currently reading The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint. I am on page 169. If I had to use one word to describe my book, it would be interesting. I say this because the book has a unique plot which can keep the reader interested, but it I can't really find any other words that can describe the book as a whole. In some parts of the book, it can be morbid and depressing, such as when Adrian fell from a four story building because the fairies dropped him. He ended up dying with a gross description of how his bones were crushed and his blood was everywhere. However, in other parts of the book, it can be quite joyful or calm. For example, when Imogene and Maxine first met and became friends. Because of the different moods the book has, I think the best word to describe it is interesting.
I am reading gone from these woods by Donny Baily seagraves and i am on page 85. If i can describe this book in one word it would have to be tragedy. The reason i chose this word is because the main character goes through hard times when he acidently kills his uncle. The whole situation made him feel responsible for what he did. It also turned his dad against him.

I am reading "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin and I am on page 85. If I had to choose one word to describe this book I would choose suspenseful. The book is always ending chapters with cliff hangers and leaving confusing little clues here and there. The book starts out with Mara waking up in the hospital, she has lost all memory of the night before. Her parents then tell her she broke in to an abandon house and it collapsed on her and her friends. She was the only one to survive.
hmoorer3 That is a great book!
Bmcphadden5 That sounds like an awesome book!!
The book I'm reading is the gathering blue and I'm on page 21. If I had to choose one word it would be struggle. I choose this word because kira's mom is dead and she's all alone. Another reason I chose this word was because kira was born with a twisted leg. So its hard for her to find a job since no one wants her. Lastly I pick the word struggle is because since kira's mother died. The cott that Kira and her mother shared had been burned. This was always done after sicknees. So its going to be hard for Kira to build a house buy herself.
yyoon3- Wonderful job at answering the blog
asizer3- Nice work on those 5 sentence! Also good job on explaining.
I'm reading QB 1 BY MIKE LUPICA on page 21.The way i describe my book is that it's courage,you need courage to do something,you need it.In the book it states,that the main charcters dad made it into the NFL.And now his son wants to walk on his footsteps.And try to do the best he can be with courage.

i would read that lpozos5
Im reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen im on page 160. If i had to use one word to dicribe this book I would use caring. It would use caring because they are going threw all this struggle to help the owls out and to keep their environment. They even vadalized a cop car and a persons property to keep the owls safe. The owner of the property wants to build a waffle house sort of thing an the owls live there and so the kids want to help the owls out and keep them safe.
@skkeys nice book
@ipozos5 nice blog
I am reading Houdini by Clinton Cox and I am on page 66. If I had one word to describe my book I would use escaping. Escaping describes my book because Houdini is the master of handcuffs. This book is about him escaping his poverty childhood to become the most famous escape artist ever. This is the best word to describe my book about Houdini!
Drivera6: That sounds like a great book.
Bmcphadden5: Amazing blog!
I am reading Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli and I'm currently on page 110. One word I would use to describe my book would be relatable. I think this book is relatable because it is realistic fiction, so it has real life scenarios. Another reason I think this book is relatable is because the main character has a lot of ideas and thoughts that I have. It really makes me think and I like that.
bmcphadden5, Good blog!
bmcphadden5, Good blog!
tfoye6, great job!
The book I am reading is endangered I am on page 20 and the aurthor is Eliot Schrefer. One word I would describe the book is realistic. I choose that word because the book makes me feel like that I am in the story.
Good job jkim4. Keep it up
Good job dgreek5. Keep it up you should get an A
I'm currently reading John Grisham by Calico Joe, and I'm currently on page 25. If I had to choose one word to describe my book, the word would be sad. There is a lot of drama that goes on between the characters especially John and his father because his father never really loved or took care of John or his sibling as a child, and John got mad about that.
jsongayab4: nice blog!!!
alandi4: Sound awesome!
I'm reading Taken by Edward Bloor and I'm on page 83. If I had to choose one word to describe my book so far I'd use the word 'focused'. I would use the word focused to describe my book because the main character Charity has to stay focused at all times to survive. Charity has to focus on all of her memories to keep her calm and collected while knowing she's in a time of danger.Charity also uses her focus to remember her training on what to do when kidnapped and analyze her surroundings and think about what moves to make.
@sntumer3 I've read this book before and I think interesting fits in very well. Enjoy the ending!
@Abedard6 I've never read the book, but I've heard its action packed and exciting! Good blog.
I am currently reading The Dead And Buried by Kim Harrington and I am on page 91. If I could choose one word to describe this book, I would choose…mysterious. My book has a dead girl in a beautiful mansion that's been haunting my main character. The dead girl's name is Kayla Sloane and she fell down the stairs—or was pushed. Now my main character, Jade, has to find out if she fell or was pushed and who pushed her.
Fwbouger,
Ooh! Nice,using the vocabulary! Smart! I should have done that…
jritter2
Sounds interesting. Also smart move with quoting.
My book is called Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen and I am on page 167. If I could choose one word to describe it the word would be unpredictable becuase there are so many unexpected things.One example is cole not going to jail after smashing petter Driscals skull in the side walk sstated on page 4. Also Cole's father beat him page 55. This is an awesome book.
That sounds interesting was she pushed? now I want to know.
Awww that sounds cute I love to smile and that is cool that the book makes you think
The book I am reading is Don't Even Think About by Sara Mlynowski, and I am on page 96. A word I would use to describe this book is funny. The reason I chose this word was because it is hilarious. I am constantly laughing about parts of the book. Anyone that likes funny books should read this book. I highly recommended it.
@kbutler3 great job!!!
@jperkins5 nice blog! Loved it!
I am reading The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks. I am currently on page 325. If I had to choose one word to describe my book it would be sneaky. He is an assassin so he needs to be quiet. He also uses magic to be even quieter.
@Kmanderino5 Great Comment!
@crukstalis6 Sounds like an interesting book.
I am reading “The Heartbreak Messenger” by Alexander Vance; I am currently on page 120. I would use the word crazy to describe this book. I would use crazy because I have never read a book like this. I have never heard of someone getting paid to break up with people. That sounds kind of harsh to me. But, I guess people have to get paid some type of way
@Bmcphadden5 nice blog.
@drivera6 nice job.
I am reading the Maze Runner by James Dashner and I'm on page 167. If l had to describe my book in one word, it would be interesting. This book gets me excited. Thomas is the main character trapped in the middle of a terrifying maze. It's pretty scary because people can get stung by grievers and it sort of creeps me out a little.
Great blog DRivera6
Cool DAndersonclose6
Hi am reading Holes By Louis Sachar and I am on page 79.If I had to Describe my book into one word I would say RUFF!!! I say this because well Stanly has so many things happen to him that are RUFF. He gets convicted of stealing, he has to go to a horrible camp he has to dig holes for the day every day.there is nothing fun to do at the camp,but i know its meant to brake your back bone in and make you into a young respectable young man.
@asantos2 good job getting your blog in
@Xmatos5 good job
i was reading half upon a time but i have finished it. one word that i would describe my book would be well. confusing! actually it pretty much is one really big messed up fairytale.but sadly i fell in love with it mostly because there was NO love in it.
good comment drivera6 and bmcphadden5
I am reading the gift by James Patterson and i am on pg. 38. A word i would use to describe my book, i would use the word mystical. I would use at word because this book is mainly about witches and wizards and powers. The main characters are brother and sister, and their wizards and a witch, but the people wanna kill them, their considered criminals, and evil. Also there's just mystical things happening all through the book.
@bmcphadden5 nice blog
@drivera6
The book i'm currently reading is the screaming staicase.the author is jonathan stroud and the page i'm currently on is pg.75.so far i can describe the book in one word "Heroic'.The evidence supporting my description is due to the fact these two young children in london goes on to save there people uses there psychic abilities despite there fear of the adversary's they have to square off.
The book i am reading is cress by Marrissa Meyer i am on page 117. If i had to describe my book in one word it would have to be magical. One because it has mystical creatures in it like Rapunzel and little red ridding hood. And another reason it is magical is it is basically unfolding a magical fairytale inside the actual book.it is also about saving the world you may think all these books have nothing to do with each other.
Dead City by James Ponti and I'm on page 15. Since I did just start the book I would have to choose active as my word. On he first page it states that " St. Andrew's Prep fencing tournament, I'm trapped in a locker-room toilet stall." I picked this quote because it states that she does fencing with her everyday school work, " With a dead body." So not only is she fencing, but she is also fighting zombies. Being active is getting around doing things, and that's what she is doing. She is defeating zombies and taking fencing lessons, while doing school work.
Ktodd4 Great Job and hope its a nice read.
Aachristian4 Don't forget to check over your paragraphs.
The book I'm currently reading is the Grimm conclusion It's by Adam gidwitz and I'm on page 70.The word I was use to best describe this book is devious because the book has a lot of suspicious themes and different storylines that makes the word devious fit just for the book. especially because theirs different parts in the book that makes you change the thought on how the book is gonna end.
dkeaton4 good details
@Treed6
good comment
I'm reading slob by Ellen potter and I'm on page 26. If I had to choose one word for my book it would be smart. I pick the word smart because Owen Birnbaum (the main character) is the smartest in the the whole school. All of Owen's decisions are also smart like how he studied Mr. Wooly and what he was doing to make all of the un athletic people fall or how he memorized the whole periodic table. So I think smart would describe my book perfectly.

The book I am reading is the third eye by Paul Langan. I am on page 102. The word I would use to describe my book is mysterious. I would choose that word because something new also pop up. For instance on page 52 the main character went on the stance to tell her side of the story but she started to describe her mother as the victim.
great job bmcfadden5
good job on the blog drivera6
i like what i'm hearing about that book @drivera6
ddallas5 your book sound interesting!
I am reading "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin and I am on page 114. If I had to choose one word to describe the book I would choose mysterious. The book has many flash backs to a time when Mara can't even remember. Mara sees her dead friends many times. She also has flash backs to when the old building collapsed on to her and her friends.
Xmatos5 That sounds like a great book.
jglover2 That sounds like a good book. I read the first one but never started the second.
