I am currently reading as small as an elephant by Jennifer Richards Jacobson and I’m on page 44. The author of my book makes the character jack believable because of situation he is in. Jack can’t find his mother and is searching for her. Along the way jack meets a nice family which makes jack problem a little harder. This family wants to meet jack’s mother but jack creates a lie instead. This why the author makes the character believable.
Sbrown4- awesome description on your character!

I am currently reading "what happened to goodbye" by Sarah Dessen and I am on page 36. The author makes the book believable by putting the main character (mclean,or Elizabeth ,Liz,or Liz sweet) in a situation that a lot of kids have to go through. In the book the mother funds herself falling in love with another man, who happens to play on the basketball team that they love so dearley and it leaves Mclean's world turned up side down because she never thought that her parents would divorce. A lot of kids my age and younger can relate tobthia because they have seen it happen in their own household so the author really captures thereaders attention because of all the realistic factors in the book. The story is just all around something that you would believe would happen which is something I love about it.

The book I'm reading is Neela I'm on page 23. This book is really good and make the story seem extremely real. Neela is a little girl. She is going through her sister wedding and hoping her mom doesn't marry her off. Hee dad is in the army or at least fighting a war and she went looking for him. Any little girl or just about any girl could relate to this because having a father in the army and getting married off. What I mean by marry off, like those types of parenparentsforce you into liking this guy and misleading the guy stuff like that. When you read this book is like watching her life flash before our eyes.

I'm reading I am Number four by Pittacus Lore, and I'm on page 85. The author gives the book's character a believable feel by giving him a very large back story and universe to be a part of. Lore creates a whole universe and way of life just to make the character's life make since. The main character is an alien from another planet where his job is to protect his people by surviving and not being killed by an evil race of alien that is trying to destroy his people. The main character runs off top our planet with his guardian and lives a life of running and moving around the US. To me he is similar to a kid whose parents are military, because he moves around the US and never really has a true home, which also helps make him a very believable character to me.

@JGlover2 sounds like an intense book, but I'm surer it's fun to read. Good blog.

I am reading The Big Time by Tim Green and I am on page 53. The main reason how I think the author made the characters believable is because for one this book is a realistic fiction. Also Troy White (the main character in the book) has always wanted to meet his father. Well in this book of the series the father shows up at his front steps and apologizes for never being a part of Troy's life. That kind of thing happens every day.
@iharris5 Good job on your blog :)
@lpozos5 In the beginning of the series my main character wanted to find one of his parents also

I am currently reading infinity ring, I am on pg. 10. I find my character Dak Smyth believable. He goes on an tree branch with his best friend Sera Frost. they go here because they get away from stuff like distractions. this why I find him believable. I find him believable because I like to get away from distractions too. like him sitting on the tree, I play basketball to get away from my distractions.

I am currently reading The Kill Order by James Dashner I'm on page 41. The author of the book I'm reading makes the characters believable by emotions. When Mark's friend Darnell got hit in his shoulder by a five-inch-long dart Darnell made a strange grunt and collapsed to the ground(the emotion of pain). And in the Prologue when Teresa seen Thomas about to sent out to the Maze her wall of sadness began to crumble knowing Thomas wouldn't remember her if he had just woken up. Also "It hurt her in her heart to see Thomas so pale and covers in beads of sweat like he was conscious on some level and it scared her to know that she was next."
Cmcknight4 nice blog keep it up

I am currently reading cover-up by john Feinstein and on page 71.My character is clearly believable. He is believable because everything the mane characters do happen in real life. Super Bowl, an interview job, and using former football players to make a book. this book is based on a real event so the character is believable.

I am on page 95 of the book "wait till Helen comes"by Mary Downing Hahn.My author makes the characters believable because seems like shes experience the thing shes written about this book.It explains that heather tarted a fire which killed her mother.And also the ghostly girl named Helen,her parents also died in a fire.So i was thinking maybe her friend or sibling had the experience and she wrote about it.
