while she was walking to the bus stop, Kim, Melanie and Sarah chased Mandy
into the street and she got hit by the bus and got her arm sprain. When

The Princess Test
I read a book "The Princess Test". I
did not like the book much. I did not like it because it was boring, but
it had some interesting sentences. It was about a girl named Loretia.
When she was a baby she cried a lot for weird reasons. When she’s older
she stops crying. When she doesn’t get her ways, instead she got rashes,
colds and other sicknesses. Her mother dies in the beginning of the
story, and her dad hires a woman named Trudy to take care of Loretia and
clean their house while he goes away for two months. While he’s gone
Trudy and Loretia went on a picnic one day in the forest, and Trudy
wanders off in the forest and leaves Loretia in the forest on purpose.
She gets lost and finds a castle, and meets the prince. Loretia takes the
princess test, and becomes the princes' princess.

Halloween Howls
I do
not like the book Halloween Howls because it is little stories. So
it’s like smell of smoke coming from the from and then it’s about a
pumpkin. So do you no what I mean.

Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia
The
book I read was Prince Caspin. I liked it. It is about 4 kids Lucy,
Susan, Peter and Edmond. They go to Narnia. When they get to Narnia
they are at their old castle when they meet a troll he said they have to
go because there is danger. So they are rowing down a river when Lucy
sees a lion his name is Aslan. So the 4 kids follow him, on the way they
meet a boy named Caspin he follows Aslan so on the way Caspin said he was
going to Archland and there was going to be a war. Lots of people
followed
Aslan. When they got to Archland they had 4 days to get ready for the
war. Now it’s the day of the war and Caspin fights his step dad and all of
a sudden even the littlest mouse started fighting. Aslan's army won.
After the war there was a feast because caspin was so brave he became a
prince. After the feast Lucy, Susan, Peter and Edmond left and went
home.

Heidi
I
really like the book Heidi. It is about a girl that has to live
with her papa. But he doesn’t want her. She fines a boy. She helps him
walk the sheep. Then she has to go to a school. It is a school that
takes care of kids.

Regular Guy
I read
a book about a boy and his friend. One of the boy was curious if he got
switched at birth with a kid in his class. Each other were born on the
same day, hospital and there mom’s shared the same delivery room. One was
weird one was cool the cool one’s parent’s were weird. The weird kid’s
parent’s were cool but a little boring. I did like the story because it’s
funny.

I read
a book called Ramona the pest by Beverly Cleary. It was a good
book. It was about a girl named Ramona Quimby. She was just starting
kindergarten and she was in Ms. Binney’s class. She is having trouble
pulling a girl named Susan’s hair. She gets in trouble a lot too. She
gets stuck in mud while walking to school. Ramona had a loose tooth and
she pulled it out during school. That’s all I’ll tell you about it.

Arthur’s Thanksgiving
One day
Arthur’s teacher was picking who was gonna be the director of the
thanksgiving play. He picked Arthur. Everybody was telling him what they
wanted to be. The only thing was nobody wanted to be the chicken. Arthur
put up banners, school announcements and nobody wanted to be the chicken. I
like it because it’s a mystery.
