[still] INKHEART!!! (THE BEST BOOK EVER)

I have a reason for writing late. I knew that everyone who read inkheart was supposed to finish last night. Get this Meggie can read things out of the book to, just like her father. Felingo writes a whole new ending to inkheart and Capricorn dies. Meggie's mother has lost her voice from being read out of the book wrong. Elinor's books were burned, but they are replinished. They live happily ever after with the faries.I am now on inkspell.

Coffeehouse Angel

Dear Mrs.Dubnik, April, 20, 2010
I have been reading the book " Coffeehouse Angel" by Suzanne Selfors. In this story so far, a girl named Katrina is working in a place called " Coffeehouse". Katrina was going to take out the garbage when she sees a homeless guy behind the shop. She gets so scared, but, Katrina calms herself and leaves a cup of coffee and pastries for the man. She calls up a friend, but, when they check again he is gone along with the snack. The craziest thing of all is that when she was waving goodbye to her friend, the empty Styrofoam cup stopped at her feet!!

The Year The World Was Out Of Step With Jancy Fried

Dear Mrs.D, April, 14, 2010
I have been reading the book " The Year The World Was Out Of Step With Jancy Fried" by Jean Fielder. In this book a girl named Jancy who is turning twelve is Jewish and feels like she is different than other Jews. At her birthday party while they were getting the food out, Jancy hears a rude comment from a friend about being Jewish!! She gets so upset even though she gets the best gifts, especially from her father which is a piano!! Jancy at least has something to cheer her up, which is letters from her 15 year old cousin named Phillip, who is starting to live under Hitlers rule!! I have truly enjoyed this fantastic book!!

Secrets, Lies, and Algebra

Dear Mrs.Dubnik, April 6, 2010
I have been reading the book "Secrets, Lies, and Algebra" by Wendy Lichtman. In this book, so far, I have read about a young girl named Tess in the eighth grade who's favorite class is Algebra because there does not have to be one solution to every problem. Tess has heard about the death of a woman who is Rob's (an art teacher's) wife. The woman was said killed of suicide by sitting in a car,doors locked, smelling the fumes of carbon monoxide. Her mother says Rob has been acting strange ever since and told her mother about how before she died, she said she was cold and grabbed slippers to wear and commited suicide. Tess feels it might have been murder along with her mother.
