Hi, I am reading Michelle Knudsen’s book, The Dragon of Trelian. It’s a great fantasy story with lots of twists and turns. In it, a magician’s apprentice becomes friends with a princess who is linked to a dragon she has been keeping secret. They have to work together to outsmart some evil at work in the castle. I can’t wait to meet the author!

I just started today. (As soon as I got it signed.) I’m only a chapter into the book, but I give it two thumbs up. (Mainly because I only have two thumbs.) I really loved meeting Michelle Knudson. It was so fascinating, especially for people who love books. I would say you should read it. I can’t wait for the sequel.

A book I’m reading right now is Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene. In theis book, German POW’s are arriving in Patty’s Bergen’s town. Patty Bergen is rather curious about the POW’s. Some POW’s were in shopping at Mr. and Mrs. Bergen’s department store and POW’s came in to buy hats. One of the POW’s was talking to Patty about what you call a pencil pocket sharpener. Patty admired how Anton spoke such perfect English. Patty’s parents seem to like Patty’s sister, Sharon more than Patty. Patty tries to get her parents to like her, but they just tell her what is wrong about herself. I personally am enjoying the book, but am totally disliking the language and how Patty’s parents treat her.

No Way! I’m reading The Summer of My German Soldier too!
I’m also reading What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. It’s a book for boy-crazy girls. Evylen Spooner is in love with Peter Coleridge. But… Evie’s mom is also in love with Peter, even though she’s married! Then, Peter goes with Mr. and Mrs. Spooner on a boating trip. Four hours pass and they aren’t back. A terrible hurricane comes. Evie thinks that her parents and Peter didn’t come back because they went to shelter from the storm. But, Evie soon learns that the hurricane reached them first. And, sadly, word gets to her that Peter was killed. According to her father, Peter went overboard to fix the motor and a wave came and knocked a wrench onto his head which knocked him out which made him drown. But, everybody is trying to blame her father for the murder. They believe that Joe Spooner dropped the wrench. Where’s the truth? Will it ever be revealed? Or is the question… SHOULD the truth be revealed? I’m not telling you anymore here. Read the book to find out more.

Well, I’ve read a lot of books, so I’m not sure which one to pick…Okay, got one. The book I’m reading is called Greener Grass by Caroline Pignat. It takes place during the Great Famine in 1847. It’s incredibly depressing, as the main character’s father dies, her brother dies, and her baby brother dies. Also, her neighbor’s house is burned down, the neighbor’s father dies, the neighbors son dies, she tries to kill her landlord, gets sent to jail, and when trying to reach America, or Canada, or wherever she’s going, she gets left behind. Yep. It’s a great book alright. Oh well. Better than reading Twilight. (Sorry Hannah…)

Hi, I’m currently finishing “Book Thief” its a book about a girl living with her poor sort of foster family in Nazi Germany. The girl had been through alot she watched her brother die and her mother leave her and then her foster parents hide a Jewish man in their basement. I started reading the book because it was narrated by someone different not the main character but actually (this may seem kind of weird) death.

Another book I’m reading is Nancy Drew- The Mysterious Letter, by Carolyn Keene. It is a fantastic book as are the rest of the Nancy Drew books. I highly recommend them. Nancy receives a letter in the mail saying she has money in London, but the dilema is she doesn’t. It turns out there is another Nancy Drew, but the main character Nancy Drew is the Nancy that receives the letter because the address was rubbed off. Along the way Nancy gets into several dilemas (as always) and gets hurt in some sort of way every single time. (Don’t worry, Nancy is okay) In the end the Nancy the money should have gotten to gets it and her fiance (a bad guy) gets arrested for his wrong-doings. It is a wonderful book and series. Everyone should read it. (Especially people that like mysteries.)

Hi, i am reading two books. The one i like the most is probably New Moon which is the second book in the Twilight series. I have not yet read the last two books but i think this book is the best. In this book Bella Swan lives with her dad in Forks. She has met this boy in her school named Edward. They are dating now, but Belaa has a friend named Jacob(Taylor Lautner) who is jealous of Edward because he also likes Bella. In the second book Edward leaves Bella to protect his family’s secret. the secret is that they are vampires. Jacob is mad at Edward because he left Bella. A while in the book Jacob has these weird symptoms and he turns into a wearwolf. In the end of the book ……. well you’re going to have to read the book. Personally i think Jacob is the best character and actor.

This made Annemarie suspicious because she had never heard of a great aunt Birte before. Peter brings many Jews to Henriks house to celebrate the death of aunt Birte. The Nazis come and ask why so many people are here, they tell them then the leave. around 1in the morning Peter takes about half of the Jews to his boat. Around 2-2:30 Mrs. Johansen takes the rest of them. Annemarie tried to stay awake for mama but fell asleep. When she woke up mama was not home yet. She went to find her.

Ok, I’m still reading Candyfloss. But I’ve read a book called The Twilight Stone. It’s a book with manga pictures in it. It’s by Mio Chizuru. This girl named Noelle is taken captive on a prison ship, because her family was the last known owner of the Twilight Stone, which made you invincible in combat. Noelle is rescued by Yuri, the captain of the Eurastia. (a legendary ship in children stories.) Lenny, a ship apprentice, shows Noelle around and lets her help with the ship. Zanan, a boy who can hear, see, but not talk, becomes a great friend to Noelle. He sort of speaks through playing music. You can tell what he’s feeling by the melody. But Black Cloak (random unidentified man whom everyone thought to be dead) has an evil plan to capture Noelle. I think it’s a wonderful book. But I won’t tell you how it ends. Read it to find out.

I’m readin Summer of my German Soldier by the person who wrote it. No actually, it’s by Bette Green. The whole 7th grade is reading this book, so that’s why so many people have summarized it. So it’s about a girl. And a guy. And the guy’s a German soldier named Anton that escaped from a Prisoner of war camp (POW) and all the bad people want to find him and kill him and Patty ( the girl) is like,”No! Don’t kill him! *I love him which is kinda creepy because I’m only 12 and he’s like, 20…* I know! I’ll hide him in a old abandoned house thingy above my evil dad’s garage! Yes! That’s brilliant!” AND SO…she feeds him and stuff and they’re happy and then one day he’s like, “I have to go. Okay bye!” And Patty’s like,”…But..okay, go.” And so he goes and she lives her life and then OH MY GOSH! the FBI people come, and they ask her a bunch of questions and they she finds out that Anton got shot and died and she goes all crazy and attacks the FBI guy. Then she goes through a long and complicated trial and gets sent to a ‘ Girls Reformatory School’ ( reform school, basically) for 4 to 6 months. Her was- a-housekeeper-but- got-sacked-by-Patty’s-evil-dad came and visited her and brought fried chicken. I like fried chicken. Then she leaves and…..dramatic pause…the book ends. The End. Yep…there’s my summary. Although you might want to read someone else’s version that doesn’t sound like a wacko wrote it. But it is a really interesting and exciting book! I recommend it.

Another book I’m reading (I read multiple books at the same time.) is The Princess and theGoblin by George MacDonald. I recommend the book, but beware that some of the chapters start with pronouns, so then you don’t know which character the book is talking about. The princess, Irene, lives in a castle. She wonders what the stairs down the hall lead to. Well, you probably guessed, she goes up the stairs. She finds that her grandmother lives up in the room, but nobody else knows. Her grandmother gives her a ring and tells Irene that if she ever gets worried to put the ring under her pillow and follow the string attached to it. Along the way while following the string, Curdie, the goblin appears. Curdie and Irene go the rest of the string’s length together. Read the book, I shall tell not an ounce more.

Patty Bergen is a girl who is twelve or as she likes to call it twelveteen. The german POWs work under the hot sun so their owner said they could go to town and buy hats. Their was one soldier who could talk perfect English. His name was Anton. The store the went to were Patty’s parents store. Patty was at the store at the time and she made a good relationship with Anton. Anton escaped from the POW camp and Patty found him and helped him in hiding. She was a Jew and he was a German so it was against the law that she helped him. One day Anton left and the police found out about Patty hiding him. She was sent to a girls type of jail. She thought she was better in that place rather than home because her parents strongly disliked Patty. She just had to live there fort a while.

I’m reading (well, read) Hatchet by Gary Pulsen. You’ve probably heard of it or read it, but I want a free Darien Lake ticket. So! The book is about a kid, Brian Robeson, ( <– I think that's how you spell it…) who goes to visit his father who lives in the middle of a Canadian nowhere. During the plane ride, the pilot has a heart attack and dies. So now Brian's stuck in a plane with a dead guy. Great! He crashes into a lake, nearly kills himself (not for the first, or last time) and sinks the plane. The only thing he has is a twenty-dollar bill, which is probably very handy in the Canadian where-ever-he-is-in-Canada, and a hatchet. How will he survive? Maybe by reading the book! =)

I just finished reading this book called The Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene. Yes I know basically all of the 7th graders are writing about this book, but you can probably handle one more blog. Well anyway this book is about a 12 year old Jewish girl named Patty Bergen meets 22 year old Anton Reiker who by the way is a POW. When Anton escapes from the POW camp, Patty hides him in the second floor of her garage. Her housekeeper, Ruth helps her feed him and hide him hopefully until he can be free. But that doesn’t work out so well.
That’s all I really should say for this blog because I don’t want to ruin the book for anyone that wants to read it. This was a good book and I recommend it to YOU!

My next blog is about a book called My Sister the Vampire: Re-Vamped! by Sienna Mercer. Yeah I know it sounds like a stupid book, but it’s actually pretty good so don’t be judging me. It is the 3rd book in the series. The series is about these two girls named Ivy Vega and Olivia Abbott. They are two very different girls. Olivia is a pink loving cheerleader, while Ivy is a pale Goth who happens to be a vampire along with most of the students at Franklin Grove Middle School. In the first book Ivy and Olivia finally figure out that they are identical twin sisters after Olivia moves into town. So in this book, they told their parents that they were twins and now thanks to their friend Toby Decker the whole school read an article about them being twins. What will they do? Well don’t ask me I haven’t finished the book yet!

Theodore and his mother pack to the island by boat. Their dad/husband had to stay because of work. He thought they were just fine on the island anyway, but the mom wanted to leave anyway. So they headed out on the boat. Soon enough they were hit by a torpedo, by the German submarines. Toon in to find out if they are o.k.

they are ok but Philip is seperated from his mother clueless of where she is. He is on a raft with a big black man named Timothy. they have water and food thankfully. They spare all they have to last them as long as they need. When the torpedo hit , Philip hit his head. so he wanted lots of water. He rested alot. Next day he was blind. He was very mad. Tune in to find out what happens next.

The last book I read for PARP was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I have now read that book 4 times. It is by J.K. Rowling. It is the final book in the Harry Potter series and probably the most depressing. Before I go on: PARP judgers or whoever checks this site, I’m sorry that I did not post until Saturday. I was sick in bed all week with an upper respiratory infection and was not able to come downstairs to the computer…
… In this book, everyone has finally come to believe that Lord Voldemort has returned. Harry knows he must kill Voldemort, but first he must get rid of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. (when Voldemort killed someone, part of his soul ripped off and he placed it in an object that would protect it.) His Horcruxes consisted of a locket, a ring, a diary, a tiara, a goblet, his snake Nagini, and Harry himself. So you’re probably saying to yourself that in order to distroy all the Horcruxes, Harry would have to be killed. In a way, Harry dies, but he doesn’t really. Along the search for Horcruxes, Harry becomes attatched to the Deathly Hallows: The resurection stone, an invisibility cloak, an an invincible wand. Guess which one Voldemort’s after? Once again I won’t say more here. Read the book to find out the rest.
