My book is called Heartland and the main character is Amy. I think she is like me because she is an animal lover like me and she mostly loves horses just like me.
Another reason is, no one likes her cause she isn't the best person in the world.
Another reason is, everyone teases Amy about her mother, because she died in a car accident. My mom didn't die in an accident just shes not the best mom in the world.
But shes like me because she has the same life.

My book skeleton creek. The main charter of my book is Sarah. I'm like Sarah because Sarah believes in ghost like me. Sarah has a best friend that's a boy just like I do. If I my mom said I couldn't see my best friend, text my best friend, or email my best friend i wouldn't listen to her I would email, text and see my best friend that's how me and Sarah are alike. Please edit for PUGS (punctuation, useage, grammar, and spelling) and also get rid of the ugly color and use a normal font. The title of a book should always be capitalized. Remember spaces after punctuation not before and after.

Mr. McGuire said: How is the Main Character in a Book Like You? Nancy Drew The mysterious Letter is one of my favorite books. The main character is Nancy Drew who is a teenage detective. In the book Nancy has to solve a mystery. The mystery Nancy has to solve is that letters got stolen from her mail carrier and one letter is supposedly for her and it is from England. She has to find out who stole the letters and get the letters back. One reason Nancy and I are alike is that we both like to solve mysteries. If something is lost at my house I like to look for it and find clues to try to help me find where that item is. An example is finding my dogs lost collar, that had been lost for a few months. My dog, Spud was attacked by our neighbor's dogs one night. The dogs chased Spud down our field. Spud finally came back down to our house where he had been bit and was bleeding. We took him to the vet. The vet said, "Spud will be fine after a few stitches." After his return home from the vet we noticed his collar was missing. My family and I looked and looked for his collar everywhere. We went back to where he was when they started chasing him and the places he had been. We could not find his collar anywhere. We looked for weeks and never found his collar. I looked for clues to where the collar might have been. We rode around on our golf cart to see if could see it. We never found it and thought it was lost forever. A few months later I was on the golf cart and found his collar. It was at the end of our field. I was so surprised that I had found it. I felt like I was a detective. That is how the main character in the book is like me. The Nancy Drew books are an old series, but they are a good one. The mysteries in them really keep you thinking and wondering. I can see how you would be like Nancy, especially after reading your example. Good Job! Thanks for the comment. I do love the Nancy Drew series. I am going to keep reading the series and hopefully finish the series before the school year is over.

The main character from my book is like me because she is crazy. Always getting into trouble. Talking back. Having attitude. Yelling at her little brother. Well Amamda has a little brother like me that she is always yelling at. The only thing that we don't have in conman is that my parents are not together like hers. Amanda is always driving her mom crazy to go to friends house or have someone stay with her. That is what i'm always doing. I'm always bugging my mom if someone can stay the night with me. We also both have a really big mouth! Amanda and I both are not a girly girl! But we still both like to go out and have fun with our friends. Amanda and I are not exactly the same but we don't have all things in conman. Kaylee I love your writing!!! I love how your writing is detailed!!! I cannot wait until you do another post!!!!!!

In the book Game Changer the main character is KT Sutton. KT Sutton and I are alike because....... We both play softball and have the same attitude. KT Sutton plays softball like I do. Well she got hurt really bad where she couldn't play any more. KT Sutton was so mad so upset that she couldn't concentrate when she was in the hospital, because she knew she wouldn't be able to play softball. I would be so worried to if i couldn't play. Softball is my life basically, because I play 24-seven. I always practice have games like on the back of my softball shirt it says "there's no place like home" you know like home plate. Well later KT Sutton is having a hard time not playing. Being so hurt can't concentrate I wouldn't be happy if I got hurt and had to miss a year of softball. Later on KT Sutton starts having the best attitude around I would do the exact same. Just keep a good attitude and go with the flow. Lexi I love your writing!!! I would feel really bad if I let my softball team down because I had an injury and I'm sure you would feel the same too!!!! Anyway I love your writing and I cannot wait until you do another post!!!!!

The main charter in the book is like me because it is always saying that he is in the wrong place at the wrong time.And I am usually at the wrong place at the wrong time. And I am tall like the charter in the book too. And I have been to camp before. When it is hot out side I take cold showers to like he does because it just feels so good and if you have hot water you just get hotter does not work out to good

My book is Big Nate In The Class By Him Self and the main character that is like me is Nate when he does something that is bad and sometimes that is okay he gets in trouble and he doesn't no why though until he reads the pink slip before he goes to detention and then he know why.I think I could get in trouble but I don't because choose not to and sometimes he does get in trouble sometimes he doesn't. I think that if he would just do the things he is told then he would be okay and wouldn't get in trouble anymore.Nate needs to just give it a brake and it would be okay and nothing will go on anymore then he won't get in any trouble only if he can keep himself from getting in trouble them yes he will be okay and won't get another oink slip ever again and then he will probably be okay and be proud of himself for doing that.I think that when people get in trouble then they should have detention and when Nate gets detention he gets mad and he is mean to his friends.
I think if he just would sit and do what he was told he would be okay and would not get in trouble at all by any of the teachers.Sometimes Nate's friends walk with him to detention and then they leave and Nate goes in and sits down at a seat and does what he has to do.If Nate does his stuff that he has to do in detention the he has to find something else to do and do that till he has to go back to his classroom and then turn in his work and let the teacher grade it and then when the teacher is done then she will hand it back to Nate and have him take it home and have him show his parents.Know if Nate is just good for the rest of the year then he will probably be congratulated by his teachers and his parents.I think that Nate can be good its just that he doesn't wanted to be but he just doesn't behave him self.I think that if he did behave then he wouldn't get any more detention ever again at school if he keeps it up.Once he got detention for a hole week because he was talking in class that's also why he gets detention at school is because he talks way to much in class.Please keep your text black so it is easy for your readers.

Jessica I'm sure Lexi would fell bad if she couldn't play. That's why I just played on a fractured ankle. I didn't want to give up on my team but now I really regret it because every time I go to do something big my ankle always hurts and it swells really bad!

Well the book I am reading is Winnie The Horse Gentler by Dandi Danley Mackell. The main character in the book is Winnie. She is like me because she loves horses and she always looks out for her friends. She always try's to get things done as soon as possible and she always is worried about something. Winnie's dad is always working on inventions and my dad is always working on a tractor in the shop that is kinda similar. She lives in Ohio and on a farm. Winnie has unique friends and she is always doing something. Winnie cares about her family and friends and always wants the best for them. I am not that much alike with the main character in my book. But that is some ways I am alike with the main character in my book. Hope you enjoyed reading my post. I really like your writing it's very detailed and I'm just always looking for things you have written. I hope to see some more of your writing. Keep up the good work!

The main character in the book that I was reading was Bella. She is from the book Twilight. The main character is like me because she is so out going. she doesn't care what other people think about her. I am the same way. Not every one has to like me I am who I am. In the book she goes to a new school. And shes kinda scared because she doesn't know any one there. When we transferred schools I was afraid that I wouldn't know anyone. And I didn't have any one in my class.
In the book she makes new friends and I like to make new friends to. So she hung out with all these people and she became not scared any more at school. The more and more I got to know people I wasn't scared any more. Bella is a kind of girl that sits in the back of her class. She doesn't like to talk to people a lot.
Well than she started talking more and more. And I was the same way. I didn't want to talk to a lot of people. Than I just got use to it. Bella was the type of girl who had more guy friends. And I'm the same way I have more friends that are guys. So I have more guys that I talk to than I do girls.
That is why I think the main character is just like me. hope you like it!

The main character in my book Jefferson's Sons is Maddie. Its a girl that is fourteen she lives in a foster home with Miss.Martha and master Jefferson. Maddie might be a foster child but she's always doing stuff like I do. The reason we have similarities is she's a girl that has brownish almost black hair,her eyes are a dark green,she's really tall, and she loves to write. She's always wanting Miss.Martha to go out and get her some paper to write. Which like me I'm always wanting my mom or my dad to get me some paper so I can start to write. I'm always wondering what Maddie's life would be like to be a foster child. But then over the past year my uncle adopted a child from the foster care. Her name is Maci I go to my uncle's house all the time so I can see her. She's really smart she's taught me alot about how her life has changed ever since she has moved in with my uncle and his wife. I think that now since I met Maci I understand what Maddie would be thinking half the time or doing. I think that every time I hear Maddie talk I'm always thinking wow I can't believe she's a foster child. She acts like Miss.Martha and Jefferson is her real family she calls them mom and dad just like I call my mom and dad. Wow Hannah that sounds just like you lol. Your writing is amazing I can't wait to see more from you. Keep up the good work!
