Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? The book Shake, Rattle and Hurl written by R.L STINE is one of the most exciting, funniest, greatest, books I have ever read. From the second you open it up until the last page I am so excited that I almost scream to death!! One example from my book is that Bernie Bridges is in love with April-May June (the hottest girl in the Rotten school) . Bernie Bridges is the 5th grossest boy in Rotten school, and April-May June does not love or like Bernie Bridges. Next Bernie was walking back for the dinning hall and Bernie saw April-May June standing under a tree and Bernie said I like what you did to your hair. Is it a new hair clip or something and April-May June said ” it is not a hair clip I have bird poop in my hair”. She said that she is never ever standing under a tree again. She was trying to go to the shower to wash the bird poop out of her hair and Bernie kept talking and talking. So April-May just keep walking to the Nyce House.

Someone should read my book Scary Stories. It is written by Alvin Swartz and it contains short stories. My book is special because you can pick and choose which story you want to read first. Another reason why the book is special is because the book is like R.L.Stine stories.
This story is pretty interesting because their was a man that went to church every Sunday, but the church had been closed for 3 years. There were always people at the church every Sunday. One day he went to shake someone's hand, but all he could see was bone's. They were not people they were ghost. All of the ghost started to look at him and then they started to slowly walk to him. The door was locked the ghost took him, he was never found again.

The 39 clues:(Beyond The Grave), written by Jude Watson. This book is amazingly good.I say you should read this book because it is different from others it is full of surprises, fights ,people who fall in love, and more. All the people of the different branches fight, betray, fall in love, trust, help and do whatever the can to win no matter what. The two main characters are Amy and Dan Cahill. Another important character is Nellie their Au pair more like nanny shes their guardian even though they aren't related. They have a cat named Saladin too.
... Okay Okay I will tell you some more parts about it. Will Amy and Dan and their uncle Allistair believed that their cousins Ian and his sister Natalie was on their side will turn out of course that was a lie. What is crazy though is Amy liked him!! Well they found a hint to a clue and found a map to it ,in Grace's guide book then shortly after they found the secret passage and Dan the little brainy tricked Ian and his sister into taking the wrong clue but all along he new the right one. He did that because he did not trust Ian or his sister but Amy did, after that when Ian and and his sister got the wrong clue they locked Amy, Dan, and their uncle in the passage. I'm going to stop there on that part it if you want to know the rest read the book.
Alright this the last part i'm going to tell you the rest you have to figure out Okay don't get mad though!! To start off Amy , Dan and Nellie the Au pair trusted these two people one was a friend of grace their dead grandmother, named Hilary and her grandson Theo. Will Nellie liked Theo and Theo I guessed he liked her too but he tried to steal from Amy and Dan Cahill and even Nellie will that did not play out so good for him, because Nellie tackled him when he tried to get in the car with Hilary. That had to of hurt. Hold on rewind when Amy noticed that the object was missing was when she woke up and touched where the object was placed last, it wasn't there! Forward! Anyways the Cahill kids and Nellie took them into where they were staying and questioned them PAUSE!!! I'm not going to tell you what they tried to steal.You have to figure out the rest.
I hope I gave you enough information, to want to read this book. Thanks,for reading my reply to the question of the week.

Why read Among the Hidden? I think you should read it because it's a wonderful book. Among the Hidden is about a boy named Luke being a third child in a country where you are not able to have a third child. Luke is hoping to find someone like him. Luke's mom, dad, Matthew and Mark are the only people who know about Luke.
The government is buying his parents woods that was the only way Luke could go out. Luke has to stay hidden so people don't see him. His mom has a job now so Luke is alone most of the time. I wonder if Luke will find that someone like him? Will Luke be caught being a third child? Read this book and find out for your self.

Jackie and Me by Dan Gutman. Ok, so if you are looking for a good sports book I would recommend the book Jackie and Me. Trust me you don't know what you are missing. In this book you can learn a lot about baseball history and some really good life lessons. So go on over to the book room and find Dan Gutman and read Jackie and Me. I'm going to tell you some examples of some exciting parts in the book. "Sticks and stones may break my bones," I yelled, backing away from him, "but names will never hurt me." "Fine," Ant said, "then I'll use sticks." He grabbed a bat from the rack and swung it at my head. I backed away , but felt the air as the bat whistled in front of my nose. The tone was frightening and a mystery. So go to the book room today and go to Dan Gutman and look for Jackie and Me. It is the most amazing book EVER!! Hope you take my advice and read that book.

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? My book is Big Nate in a class by himself. If u like funny books you should read this book. Big Nate Flips Out is funny because he is a slob and his friends hypmotized him to become neat and when he became neat he made sure that everything was neat!!!!!! Another reason this book is funny is because he is always fighting and trying to be better than Gina at everything!!!!!! Also it's a Jeff Kinney book the writer of diary of a wimpy kid and his books are always usually funny. That's why i think this book is funny.So if u like funny book i would suggest u to check this book out and all of Jeff Kinney's book's!!!!

I Survived The attacks of 9/11/2002 is a good book. It is by Lauren Tarshis, she has other book and their all good too. In this book it talks about how the plane crashed into the towers it makes you feel like you are a part of the book. There is a little sadness. I think if you read it you would want to read all her books.
It has a little boy named Lucas Calley and he is the main character. He is a 11 year old, and he plays football. His dad is a firefighter and meets someone his name is Uncle Benny.Him and his dad work together. Uncle Benny is a very nice guy. They both are guys just trying to save New York City!! I know you would want to read about some of the stuff that happen that day on 9/11/2002.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did!!

The book I'm reading is called Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz the third book in the Alex Rider series. The series starts with StormBreaker then Point Blank. Those are the first two books of the series. But you should read the series if you like action ,adventure and, a little bit of violence. It is a great series every book gets more intense by the second.
I would really recommend that somebody who likes to read. Read this series. Because its filled with some awesome moments and tons of tons of action. You can even tell by the name these are the 8 books in the series. StormBreaker, Point Blank, Skeleton Key, Eagle Strike, Scorpia, Ark Angel, Snake Head, and Crocodile Tears,. Those are the 8 books of the Alex Rider Series. I can tell by the names of the books that there exciting and spine tingling action and adventure. Thats why I recommend these books for adventurous people to read this series

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? The best book I have read this year is called the The Maze Runner by James Dashner .This book is one of the most exciting books it has action from the beginning to the end. It's not what you expect its better. If you are looking for a book full of adventurer and excitment read the maze runner series, you can find it at the Salt Creek book room. The second book is called the Scorch Trials, the third book is called The Death Cure. What makes it interesting is where the main character Thomas is chased by things called Grievers. 'They are part animal part machine, its body resembled a gigantic slug sparsely covered in hair and glistening with slime. it had no distinguishable head or tail. several randomly placed mechanical arms. each one with a different purpose a few had bright lights attached to them,others had long, menacing needles, and one had a three fingered claw that clasped and unclasped for no apparent reason.

Why should someone read the book you are reading? Someone should read the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner because its a really good book about these boys who get stuck in this weird place called the Glade. They don’t remember anything about their other life not even their real name. They have jobs that they have to do one is the maze runner which the main character Thomas wants. Anyways the mazer runner is pretty clear its a person that runs through a maze every day and maps it. The Gladers think it might show them a way out. There are monsters in the glade they are called Grievers. When you get stung by a Griever you go through this thing called the Changing. When they go through the Changing they get some of their memory back to help them. At the Glade they get one new person every month. Every month is has always been a boy until one day after Thomas came girl with a note came that note said “She’s the last one. Ever." So its got some twist and you just have to read it. Cassie The Maze Runner sounds like a really good book a lot of people say its a very good book but I haven't had the chance to read it. Can you message me and tell me some more information about this book I would love to know. About the hole reason these people have to run through mazes for there own life. Can you help me out with understand about that?

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? I think that someone should read my book because it's a really good book that's always making twist and turns when you least except it. It makes you want to keep reading and reading its that good!! The character Cassia makes you want to get to know her she says very little things about her self. One of the reasons Matched is such a special book is it's all the above instead of always mystery,funny,fantasy,non fiction.fiction. It's pretty much all the above from all the types of genres you can name. I think that the big reason that it's so interesting to me is that this book is different I don't like to read the same time I like to read about different things every time. But when you read Matched it's all in one of mystery, twisting and turns,funny, great, fantasy. Its just a little bit of everything. I might just have to read Matched it sounds good.I know the books you read and like are always good.

I think someone should read the book Winnie The Horse Gentler by Dandi Daley Mackell because it is about a girl that takes care of horses and her friends always make the book more interesting. Winnie has to take care of a foal that does not have a mother. The foal needs taken care of almost all the time. She has a sister and a dad, Winnie's dad is a inventor and her sister loves to bake. Winnie always has a lot going on, her friend gave her a untamed pony that needs training and she has the foal. Winnie almost never gets any sleep because she needs to take care of the foal. She has to take care of 3 horses that is a lot of work for her. I find this book exciting,happy and a little sad. I think that if you are into horses you should definitely read this book. Wow this sounds like a really good book. I also love horses. I can never find a good horse book they are all little kid like. So hopefully this one is a good one

Why should someone read the book you are reading? What makes it special? What makes it interesting? Someone should read the book 11 Birthdays because it's a great read. It's about this girl that is turning 11. Amanda is the girl that is turning 11. Amanda is one of the main attention in the book 11 Birthdays. If you like drama this is the book for you. The author is Wendy Mass. Wendy has alot of other books one other book is Finally and it's where a girl turns 12 and she gets a phone and she gets to babysit. I finished 11 birthdays and i'm reading Finally right now. I would say that 11 birthdays is a girls read because it's a really girly book. But some boys might like it you never know with boys Kaylee that sounds like a really good book I know while you were reading that book I asked you if the book was good or not and you said yes. So I might just try to read this book sometime when ever I'm done with the series I'm reading.

Why should someone read the book you are reading? Because if they are having a hard time finding a book to read. Read Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen. Woods runner is a historical fiction book. The time period is the beginning of the Revolutionary War I highly recommend this book if you like historical fiction or just like reading about different perspectives of the Revolutionary War. If you read this book you would really enjoy it . Woods Runner has a good lesson always stay with your goals, and stay determined through the hard times.
