I am currently reading The Last apprentice Revenge of the witch and I am on pg. 100.
The theme of my book is Never judge a book by its cover. This is the theme because after reading almost halfway through the book, the book is actually really good. And that says something because I don't like reading.
The book I am currently reading is called Hideout, by Gordon Korman, and I am on page 211. I think one theme of my book is trust. I think this because Griffin, and mostly Savanna have to trust their friends to take care of Luthor. Griffin also has to trust that everyone will follow the plan. I think teamwork is another good theme for Hideout because Griffin, Savanna, Ben, Pitch, Logan, and Melissa have to work together, from different summer camps, to hide Luthor from Swindle.
rcortes5:good job. keep up the good work
the book i am currently engaged in reading is The Alienist by Caleb Carr. The overall theme of the book is that people years ago are not too different than people today, and that violent actions will always continue from generation to another. this is shown by demonstrating the violent crimes committed by the books antagonist, and by the protagonists responses to them.
emasio6
*sigh* oh emasio6 when will I stop correcting you? don't use the same word twice in the same two short sentences and make your sentence longer than two words.
I'm reading "wereworld storm of sharks" by Curtis Jobling. The theme of my book is to never ever give up no matter how hard it gets. Drew Ferran must over come Lucas who currently is on the throne as a tyrant. Drew must wage war with Bast the home country of Lucas. Drew is missing a hand and now his sight yet he is not giving up on his country or the war. His army numbers few yet he still seeks allies to help overcome Lucas.
Make it longer rcortes5
That's cool emasio6
fwbougher:good job. Keep up the good work
I’m currently reading Half a Chance by Cynthia Lord and am on page 21. I think the theme of my book is change is a good thing. I think that is the theme because the girl Lucy in my book just moved to a new state and her parents are telling her everything will end up fine. Lucy meets a new friend and an enemy on her first day in her new neighborhood. The theme was pretty easy to find because in the story it said how Lucy was nervous.
@kberry2
Good post!!
@emasio6
Good job!
The book I am reading is endangered. The theme of this book is love on conqurs all. I think that is the theme because the main character falls in love with a bonobos.Also, The main character try to treat the bonbos like if it was a baby with a bad condtion.
rcortes5 good job. Keep up the good work.
kberry2 good job. Keep up the good work
I am reading the book Maze Runner by James Dashner and I'm on page 167. I think one of the themes of this book is that never give up on something just because it seems impossible or too hard. Thomas and a bunch of other teens are trapped in the middle of the maze, and most of them believe that it is impossible to escape. Thomas doesn't give up and he tries to find a way out of the maze. It seems impossible because the maze is huge and there are dangerous creatures in the maze at night, but Thomas faces this problem head on and goes into the maze. So no matter how hard something seems, never give up because you can do the impossible. Thomas found a way out of the maze because he didn't give up. The theme is never give up on something because it's too hard because anything is possible.
RCortes5 good job
AMountain4 amazing blog
I am readong Hide and Seek by Katy Grant and i am on page 75. The theme of my book is "its always best to follow your instincts". The main character, Chase, he' always ditermined and follows his instinct to do the right things. I used determination to help me answer my blog. I have learned that the first sign is to always follow your instincts.
RRaisch6, great job at answering your blog. It looks like a good book to read.
Avillanueva5, wonderful job answering he blog. The book seems really loveable.
I'm currently reading the Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare, the genre is mystery, and I'm on page 488. The theme of the book is don't be greedy. It is greed since the mystery genre is that three main characters (Will, Jem, and Tessa) face a couple of people who's lives were torn by gambling and greed. Greed because the gamblers wanted to get money but only lost money. Once they lost so much money they followed the main antagonists who's name is the Magister(french for master) promises to clear their debt as long as those people swear allegiance to him. greed tears people apart from wanting everything to losing everything the gamblers or opponents had. Also the majority of the opponents are just people in debt. To known the minor yet powerful and personal army the magister controls just read the book or summary.
emasio6: Nice theme.
rcortes5: Great theme but only four sentences not five?
I am reading The last Apprentice Curse of the bane by Joseph Delaney and I just finished the book. I think If I had to pick a theme of this book it would be to be brave. The reason for this is because no matter what enemy Thomas faces, he comes out victorious. At the end of the book he has to defeat the bane, so they go to the ghost of Naze to find out how and he tells him he has to stab the bane in the heart. So when his master, the spook, tries to, he fails and gets knocked out. But then Thomas, the apprentice comes and stabs him and almost dies. But against all odds he comes back, and the bane was defeated because he was brave.
@amountain4 Great blog1
@RRaisch6 I want to read the maze runner so I can watch the movie.
I am currently reading "Game Changers" by Mike Lupica, and I am on page 21. The theme of the book is to have trust in your friends. In the book Ben didn't believe that his teammates had the skill to beat the team in their first game, but in the second game he had confidence that they would win, and he did. Because he had the trust in his teammates, he won the second game.
@fbougher that's a good theme..
@rcortes5 I've heard of that book before!
I am currently reading Fire from the rock, by Sharon M. Draper, and I am on page 117. The theme of my book is a lot of things but mainly Racism. In fire from the rock there is a lot of Racism going on. They have a all white school and all black school. The all white school is called Central High, where they are interrogating the school. So the theme is mainly race.
Emasio6
Good job on blog.!
Kberry2
Great job on your blog.!
great job rcortes5
great job emansio6
I am finished reading my book which was Prisoner B-3087 and the last page was 256. I believe the theme is survival because that’s all the main character wants to do. He is in a concentration camp during the holocaust so surviving at all cost is the way to live. He also keeps repeating it throughout so that’s a dead giveaway. That’s way I think survival is the theme of my story
good blog rcortes5
nice blog avilleaneva5
The book i am reading right now is 'The Paladin Prophecy' by Mark Frost. I am on page 354. I think the theme of my book is to live by the rules. In this book the main character 'Will West' has rules for EVERYTHING. He is strictly against disobeying them. He literally takes these rules to the fullest because his dad made them for the family to follow, and he does not want to make his dad disappointed
@rcortes5
great blog dude!
@emasio6
awesome blog, i really enjoyed it
I am reading “code name verity” by Elisabeth Wein. I’m currently on page 73. The theme of my book so far is “true friends never go”. Verity left her best friend named Maddie and is now regretting it because Maddie is in danger, verity is currently stuck in enemy territory all because she won’t tell them a big secret that could either destroy her home or save herself (she is a spy). She only has a limited time to tell and if she doesn’t, she and Maddie will end up with a bad faith…
@jsongayab4 i like your theme but there's only 4 sentences
@amountain4 very nicely put!!
I'M am reading "The Grimm conclusion "by Adam gidwitz I'm on page 70.And the theme of my book would be when the twins named jorinda and joringel. and their stepfather broke joringel neck(crushed neck by metal box ) and left him in the kitchen like he hadn't been touched and blamed it on jorinda the sister and made it seemed like she killed him cause she slapped him.
@afarlin5
good blog
@RRaisch6 great details
I'm reading Murdered, my Sweet by Joan Lowery Nixon on page 121. The theme to me would be "Don't get confused between fiction and reality." I say this because Jenny's mom, who's a book writer is acting like a detective from one of her books for a real life murder case. She keeps thinking that she's actually in it and ends up making Jenny do most of the work.
emasio6 I might look into that book, it looks good.
kberry2 looks good.
I am reading The clue of the broken locket,by: Carolyn Keene.
the theme of this story is
trying to say don't take something that is not yours, focus on your business. Nancy is trying to solve a mystery but she can't because
the neighbor doesn't let her
because she is trying to find an iron bird in his house.
So all this
mysterious things happening around her she doesn't like it.
She is far from home and she is exhausted of all this drama.
@fwbougher great book
i am reading the book Circus Galacticus and i am on page 152. The theme of my book is never talk to strangers. The theme is that because Beatrix started talking to this stranger named Nyl and she had to run away with the ringmaster in the big top. Now all these crazy things are happening to her.
the book i am reading is the apothecary by: Mailey Meloy i am currently on page 239. the theme of this book is that never trust the people you just met. even if they turn out to be your best friend. Ever. because chances are you might end up turning into a bird and getting out of some tough scrapes.
great comment rcortes5 and emasio6
I am currently reading The Ghost of Graylock by Dan Poblocki, and I am on page 189. The theme of my book is don't believe what other people say. This is the theme because people believed the murderer was a nurse but it was not. Everyone in the town thought that she haunts the hospital, but she is still alive. That is the theme of my book.
rcortes5 said good job.
rcortes5
nice post souds like you are flying through the book.
Great job emasio6.
to emasio6
you are flying through the book. how many pages are there?
i am currently reading sword bird and i am on page 90. the theme of my book is that don't underestimate your opponent i say that because there is a war going on and the antagonist thinks they are fighting but they are actually working together but he does not know that
I am currently reading "Shadow of the Hegemon" by Orson Scot Card and i am on page 270. the theme of my book is trust your friends and don't worry because in a fight Bean kept looking back even though Ender was there. Bean worried too much about getting attacked from the behind than actually doing what he was suppose to do and look forward. Fights like this happened throughout the book and it hasn't happened yet but I think they might die because of it. bean also ends up going to help Ender's brother take over the earth by manipulating politics and kind of leaves Ender for Peter. With the help and trust of Bean he will eventually rule the world.
@rcortes5 Amazing blog keep up the good work, and i don't like reading either.
@emasio6 nice blog sounds like a pretty good book just from the theme.
I am reading Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and I'm currently on page 261. In my book, the theme is really easy to get: All animals are equal. The main character Roy knows someone named Mullet Fingers who is trying to save these burrowing owls at a construction site. Roy feels bad and agrees to help Mullet Finger and his step sister Beatrice save the owls. That's why the theme is easy to see. Roy learns all animals are equal.
@emasio6 Great blog!
@rcortes5 Good blog
I am reading The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze and I’m on page 188. The theme of my book is love. Eliza’s parents are both dead and her brother and sister are locked up, slowly dying. Eliza is trying everything she can to get them back because she loves them. She also loved Westley, but then she found out that he is the son of the man who killed her parents and is holding her brother and sister captive. But, she is going back to her home town and is trying to start an army so that they can get her brother and sister back and so Eliza can kill the man who killed her parents.
hwerther3: Great blog.
hmaestre3: Good job.
I am currently reading Flipped by Wendalin Van Draanen, and I am currently on page 179. I think one of the themes in my book is friendship. Friendship means a lot to the characters in my book. Some of the friendship is the annoying get away from me kind,but they know they couldn't live without the annoying person. There is also the best friend relationships that nothing could break them apart. So no matter where you are in the story there is some type of trust and friendship going on.
@amountain4 good describing your theme!
@rcortes5 sound like a good book!
I am currently reading “Fake Me a Match” by Lauren Barnholdt and I am on page 214. I think the theme of my book is to be honest and do not lie to yourself, because the main character Avery fakes a match for the matchmaking project. She thought she should match people however she wanted to because her friends would be mad if she didn’t do it. She went into the computer lab and faked matches. However, few weeks later, she got caught by a teacher and she had to call her parents. She was in a big trouble. In addition, other friends and people were also upset because she lied to them. It wasn’t hard to find the theme because it literally explained what happened, what Avery did wrong, and how Avery felt at that situation.
@rraisch6 Your book is interesting! Great job.
@afarlin5 Good details. Nice blog!
i am currently reading monster high 2 and I'm on pg.74 the theme of my book is never judge a book by its cover .this is the theme of the book because a new girl came to the school,and everyone thought she was nice then she turned on everyone.
I am currently reading Houdini by Clinton Cox, and I am on page 75. The theme of my book is magic is knowledge. The reason I believe that this is the theme is because Houdini made all of his money because his "magic" were just studying a his handcuffs and learn exactly how to break out. Knowledge is power is another way to state the theme because he was making so much money and could by anything he wanted by performing a couple of times. The theme of Houdini is magic is knowledge.
Emasio6: Sounds like a great book!
GPettit2: I've read that book too.
I am reading “Book of the dead the mummy” by Larry Mike Garmon and I am on page 84. I believe the theme for this book is never judge something before you get to know its purpose. In the book the main characters are trying to defeat the mummy because they think he’s a monster. The mummy however, is trying to find his long last love and will stop at nothing to find it. So never judge something or someone before you get to know it.
mmoss6: nice blog
jkim4: cool
I am reading the book "Half Upon A Time"by James Riley. I am now on page 212. My book has a odd theme. I believe the theme is "You cant judge others by their background." I'm saying this because Jack thinks all princesses are snobby, and spoiled. When he meets May he learns not all of them are actually as bad as he thought. He learns to like May sooner or later.
@rcortes5
Good job,but Grammer!
@emasio6
Fantastic Job!
I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I am on page 70. I think the theme of this book is perseverance. I think this because Katniss is the Mockingjay, and now that she has accepted it it’s her responsibility to lead the Rebellion. So she can’t give up if she wants to destroy the Capital and save Peeta.
emasio6
Great job!!!!
RRaisch6
Great Blog!!!
I am reading The Rivalry by John Feinstein and am currently on page 102. The theme of my book is good verses bad. I discovered that this was the theme about seven-thirds through the book after they told you what happened and and the "good guys" were trying to gather information about him. even though my book had an implicit theme it still wasn't that difficult figuring it out. The main character learned from last book to this book how to solve something in the correct sequence of events.
Good Job @rcortes5
terrific work @emasio6
I'm currently reading John Grisham by Calico Joe, and I'm currently on page 35. One theme of my book is life goes on, because as a youth, John's dad Warren never cared about John, his sister Jill, and his mother. Then his parents divorced because his mother knew that he didn't care about them, so she had to go find somebody who would love and care about them. As they were growing up, John and Jill had to move on and not think about their dad anymore.
amountain4: Good blog!
jsongayab4:Good job, keep it up.
I'm reading "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan and I have read it 2 times (yes I am rereading it until November 20). The theme of this book is "things are never expected." I think this is the theme because throughout the book the main characters all expect themselves to die, (one for the second time) but they all turn out to be fine.
I am currently reading The Blue Girl by Charles de Lint. I am on page 177. The theme of my book is that friends will always be there for you. I think the theme is about friendship because Imogene's new friends help her through hard times. For example, when Imogene was having nightmares about her old imaginary friend, Pelly, and the fairies, her friend, Maxine stays the night and supports her.
@Avillanueva5: You need to capitalize the title of your book.
@Shenderson4: That theme isn't odd. From what you said, it is basically saying, don't judge a book by it's cover. It's simple.
My book is "Witch and Wizard, The Gift", by James Paterson and Ned Rust and I'm on page 165. The theme for my book is " family and friends is always there for you" or at least this is how I see the theme is. Wisty and Whit always have each other's back, also their friends as well. For example , Margo she sacrificed herself so that Wisty lives she died in her place so that Wisty won't be hunted any more. This is just one of the many themes the book has but I think this one is probably the most important.
jkim4 The book sounds interesting , great response!
Dgreek5 Nice response!
the book i'm currently reading is Elijah by Cristopher Curtis Paul, im on page 130 in my book. I think the theme of my book is overcome. because Elijah is now known as a fragile boy and he has to go save his friends money that he was going to us to buy his parents out of captivity. that will make him a hero and peop[le will think he is brave and not fragile.
@emasio6 good job
@rcortes5 good job
I am reading LOTF by William G. and im on page 85. The theme for my book is "survival of the fittest". All of the kids in the story are basically for themselves except for Jacks gang. I learned that when children are abandoned on an island they'll do anything they want. This is apparent and strongly shown.
Jmartin3... nice response
rcortes5... Good job
One of the themes for my book is learning how to control your anger.my books title is Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Michaelsen. The character (Cole Matthews) learned if you smash a persons skull in the concrete, you have to pay the price. I'm on page 209 in this book.This book is amazing.
I am currently reading "Shattered" by Paul Langan and im on page 49.The theme for my book is "about her haunting past".I have learn that you should not always hold in things and and talk it out with someone and dont let your past haunt you.
Debanks2 good post and detail
Rcortes5 Great job
I am currently reading Bad girls don't die. By Katie Alender and Im on page 169. The theme of the book is not judge a book by its cover. Alexis thinks that her sister is a sweet little girl. But she is really planning every thing bad that happens in her life. Her little sister has dolls that she talks to that im pretty sure are telling her what to do.
nice blog emasio6
good job rcortes5
The book I am currently reading is Free Thaddeus by John Gosselink, I am on page 71. I think the theme of my book is truth will set you free. The reason I say that is the character in my book is caught in a situation where he set off the school fire alarm. Which caused a lot of commotion, the fire department the medics and etc. Where called to the school and the school and entire town thinks that he surely deserves punishment so he should tell them what he was really doing.
@emasio6 great job explaining the theme also sounds like a really good book.
@rcortes5 great job even though it was a little short.
I am currently reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and I am on page 133. I think that the main theme of my book is to be careful what you wish for. The main character of my book had always wanted to win a contest that had been going on for 5 years and no one had been able to solve. When he finally does this, he becomes extremely famous, but a lot of people also wanted to kill him. People are constantly threatening him and going after his friends and family. This is obviously something that he didn’t want to happen, and it was all because he won the contest that he had wanted to win all his life.
RRaisch6: Nice blog. The theme you chose made sense and you used great details to support your thoughts.
SHenderson4: Great job. The theme made sense with the details you gave.
I am currently reading "the rivalry" by John Feinstein, I am currently on page. 35. the theme of my book is rivalry. The black knights of army the midshipmen of Navy, they've been playing since 1890. i think this because late in the book they talk about how it is such a big game when it comes to the Army vs Navy game.
artsThe title of my book is Cress by Marisa Meyer and I am on page 552. One theme that this book has is never judge a book by its cover. In the book Cress falls in love with Thorne, a criminal. Everyone thinks he is just a common criminal and is selfish but Cress sees beyond that to the hero he really is. Towards the end of the book Cress realizes that Thorne really is a hero beneath all of the criminal act he puts on. Cress didn’t judge Thorne on what all the news stories said about him she judged him on her personal relationship with him. She never judged Thorne by his cover.
emasio6: nice post!
@vnelson2
great blog!
fwbougher: sounds like a good book! Something i can get really engaged into reading! lol.
@jlennon4
good blog.
I am reading The Dead And Buried by Kim Harrington and I'm on page 109. Theme that my character is learning (Jade) is that Faye is not a nice person to be with. In the story Jade is hosting a party. But Faye gave her the idea so she thinks that it's "their" party. So Faye tells Jade not to invite anyone lower than a senior. "Yeah. We. You're providing the house, I'm providing the clout. So, we." (What Faye says to Jade before Jade invites the younger sister of a boy that Jade likes.)
cmcknight4,
Nice blog!
kberry2,
Loving it! Keep it up!
I am reading QB1 form Mike Lupica, and I am on page 102. One of the themes of my book is "Living up to the family name." The way I know this is because the story is this kid is starting QB for his high schoo, and both his dad and older brother were really good quarter backs for that school but he is no were near as good. So the theme I chosed sums up most of what I read so far.
@rcortes I read that book, it is very good.
@emasio6 good job.
I am currently reading the book "Slated" by Teri Terry, and I am on page 140. I believe that the theme of the story is journey. The entire book talks about main character, Kyla's, journey to find the truth about her past. Also, her journey to find out the government's secrets toward her. She has yet to find out whats next in the future. Kyla learns how to figure things out independently.
| @snturner3 : Great response! |
| @KBaxter6 : Wonderful blog! |
The book I am currently reading is “Theodore Boone: The Abduction” by: John Grisham. I am currently on page 69 of 217. The theme of the book is mystery I know this because a girl has gone missing and now they are trying to find her. They think she was taken by a pen pal who recently broke out of prison and was in the area the night of her abduction. Mystery is one of the themes in this book.
rcortes5 nice job.
kberry2 nice job.
I am reading "Matilda" by Roald Dahl and I am on page 66. I think the Theme of this book is There are a lot of weird people in the world because this book is funny also weird. I did not read much but I already know this book will be fun. Her family wan'ts her to watch TV, she is 4 but she goes to the library. Matilda hates her family because they hate her too so she avenge her family with a funny way.
@cfuentes4 Good job.
@crukstalis6 Great job.
The book I am reading is Hunger Games Catching Fire I am on page 208. The theme of my book is to put others before you. In the book Katniss' friend Gale gets beaten on the back and her mother helps him as well as herself, Peeta, Gales mother, and others. Also in the book the "tributes" are putting their lives in front of Katniss' and helping her. Katniss also tries to put her life in front of Peeta's and everyone else.
fwbougher Good post, I agree.
rcortes5 It seems as if it would be that theme.
I am reading "Slob" by Ellen Potter and I'm on page 67. The theme of my book is to never give up. I can tell by the main character Owens attitude to keep trying and never give up on the TV that shows the past. He tries every combination of wires possible and then finally finds out that he needs to take out two parts, then he sees the TV screen swirl. Though he hasn't fixed it completely, he still needs a few finishing touches on it. After he has painted the outside of the TV he looks back into the third grade.
keep up the good work @rcortes5
@emasio6 nice blog
The book i am currently reading is gone from these woods by seagraves and the page i on is page 90. The theme of my book is to never blame yourself when ever you make a mistake. In the book the main character Dan accidentally kills his uncle and through the whole book he is learner how to deal with it. He learns that you should focus on the present rather than dwell in the past.
nice response rcortes5
great emasio6
I am reading Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz and I am on page 65. The theme of my book is to just deal with things in life. Right now Anthony has to deal with his uncle just dying. He also has join his uncles spy organization even though he doesn't want to. Right now Alex has a difficult life.
Good theme emasio6.
Good job rcortes5.
I am currently reading "pretty little liars" by Sara Shepard and I am on page 51. The theme of my book is be careful with who you trust. I think this is the theme of the book because Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna all trusted Ali who is now what they believe to be dead.So now they cant trust each other because someone spilled the secret that only they knew. They also thought they could trust Ali but the secrets that they only told Ali had been leaked. Thats why I think the theme is be careful with who you trust.
@rcortes5 good job
I am currently finished with Cinder by Marissa Meyer. The theme of my book is ones looks hides’ secrets. I chose this theme because the main character is a cyborg but she doesn’t look like one. So no won besides her stepmother, stepsisters, and their android Iko knows so she technically a secret cyborg. No one else knows about her mechanical parts.
The book i read was I,Emma Freke by Elizabeth Atkinson and I'm finish with it.The theme of my book is finding where you fit in. I believe this the theme because Emma stands at 6ft tall at only 12,and has a weird last name that she wonders about. I also believe this because she only has one friend who is two years younger than her.Emma also attends a family reunion and meets family who she acts like.
sbrown4 great job!
jkoenig3 good job!
I am reading QB 1 BY MIKE LUPICA. Me and the character are kinda alike because me and the character both play football.But the only difference is that he is a quarter back and I'm not. I'm on page 87.The main character has is in a bigger league than me so that means he knows a lot more.
Nice book!@fwbougher
Nice book!@emasio6
The book I was reading was P.S. I Hate You by Mia Mike, and I completed the book. The theme of the book is love can overcome. The main character, Harry and Blue, thought they hated each other. They thought this for years, but the truth was they loved each other. Once they both realized that they still eent through some ups and downs but in the end they end up together. And love each other unconditionally.
@ddavis5 great job!!
@skkeys nice!!!
I am on page #35 in “The Enemy” by Charlie Higson, I have just started reading it. I believe that one of the main themes in the book, “The Enemy” is to never pretend that you don’t need help. Though the theme may change once I get farther in the book, but from what I have read so far I believe it is what I put above. The reason I think its theme is this is because of how all the children are working together to survive the disease that killed almost all the grown-ups and those who survived were turned into zombies. I also believe that the theme might also be to never give up or put blame onto one person, because the Waitrose kids(all the kids who had found shelter in the Waitrose supermarket) had recently lost one p the little children because a grown-up had nabbed the poor boy and Maxie thought it was all her fault and that Arran would yell at her but Arran’s little scavenger group hadn’t done so well either and they almost gave up, but they didn’t give up.
@yyoon3 - I love that book so so much
@snturner3 - good blog!
So in my book the main character can not physically interact with his dead double.Some theme words cab be Pian, worry, and fear. I was not here for all this so i tried my best.
I am currently reading Smiles to Go by Jerry Spinelli and I'm on page 113. I think the theme of my book is friendship. I think it's friendship because the whole book bases off of the strong friendship between 3 middle school students. Throughout the book I am learning more about them and their friendship grows more and more in every page.
rcortes5, nice blog!
emasio6, Nice job!
the book that i am currently reading is called Milkweed by Jerri Spinelli, and i am on page 59. The theme of my book is to never put yourself in a position where it could cost you your life. The reason i think that this is the heme is because in this story the boy is putting himself in all of these problems and it is starting to get very dangerous and sketchy. This boy is going through a lot and he is risking his life for it all. I'm not quite done with the book so I'm sure the theme will be mrs than just that.
great example @mpickles6
sounds good@yyoon3
I am currently reading "A Tale Dark & Grimm" by Adam Gidwitz I am on page 84. I believe the theme of the book so far is that you can never trust someone or in other word you never really know someone.. I believe this is the theme because in the book my characters are constantly moving around and changing their perspective on others because they don't feel like they really know the other characters. The parents of my two main characters tried to kill them at a young age so the children have "trust issues" in the book. The children soon realize that you never really know someone even if you have known them since your first breath because they might trade you in a second for their own life.
@amountain4 sounds great!
@GPettit2 good job!
I am reading “Theodore Boone: the accused” by John Grisham, and I am on page 69. One of the themes of this book is that things aren’t always what they seem. Theodore learned that he had to be very careful or he could get in trouble for things he didn’t do. He has been getting harassed for a while and he doesn’t know that someone wants to pin a crime he didn’t commit onto him so that he can take the fall.
@dwhite3 great post!
@MPickles6 great job on your blog!
I am reading FableHaven by Brandon Mull and I am on page 15. One of the themes of my book is never judge a book by its cover. This is because it represents a real life situation turned into a magical discovery. When 2 kids visit their grandparents for a week due to their other grandparents dying, they think everything is ordinary. Then, they discover a hidden refuge where mythical creatures have been gathering for centuries to prevent their extinction.
@emasio6 Good job
@rcortes5 Should be longer
I am reading "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin and I am on page 134. Since I have not yet finished my book I don't know for sure what my theme is. I think my theme will be choose your friends wisely. I think this because Mara's friends convince her to go to an abandon asylum in the middle of the night. When they get there the building collapses and all her friends die and she is left in the hospital. Her friends got her in to bad situation and led her in to a lot of trouble.
The title of the book that I'm reading is Drama High: Holidaze. The author is L. Divine, and I'm on page 185. One of the themes in my story is Jayd tries to find out why everyone wants drama with her. The theme is basically how to survive in high school and keep your cool. Jayd learned that drama can not be stopped and she just has to leave it alone and laugh at it.
rcortes5 I love the theme of your book. That is a great life lesson.

The book I am reading is the third eye by Louise Duncan. I am on page 109. The theme in my book is trust is hard to gain but easy to lose. This is the theme because the main character had a boyfriend and he had been trying all year to gain her trust to let him in her house. When she had enough trust she let him her brother got kidnapped. Now she spending the rest of the boy looking for her brother.
I am currently reading Small as an Elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson. I am on page 85. There are many themes in this book. I think that the main theme is to never give up. This is my opinion because the book is about a young boy who has to look for his mother. This boy never gives up ha has been searching for her for at least 2 or 3 days.
dwhite3 Great job!!!!
jsmith4 Good job… good reasons.
i am currently reading skinny by Donna Cooner. The theme of this book is not to judge somebody by their looks. Because, since the main charcheter is getting judged by how she look in terms of her weight people ignore her. Epically the one guy that she likes.if they didnt judge her then it would be normal.
good job npporata5 i really thought it was well typed
I am reading Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood by Oliver Bowden. I am on page 20. The theme is "You can lose the battle but win the war." I got this from Ezio sparring a Templars' life but latter on kills him. This shows that he lost the battle but latter on won the war.
