The book No Dogs Allowed is a inspiring book.  It’s very sad  :cry: though. It’s about a girl named Kristien.  Her horse, Dandy just died, and she refuses to get another pet.  For her birthday, her dad surprises her with a dog!  She tries not to love it, so it’s not hard to let her go.  After she carelessly slams the door on its leg and brakes it, she feels bad for her. Will Kristien love her poor dog?  Please read to find out!!  :grin:

When in a post/thread, it is often difficult to find a specific student’s comment or your own when there are a lot of comments. Instead of scrolling and skimming through all of the comments, you can use find on your browser (Firefox, Netscape, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc.). To do so on a mac, you click you generally use Apple-F and on a PC (Dell, Compaq, Sony, etc.) you use CTRL-F. You can also go to edit –> Find. When the find box appears, type in the name of the person’s comments you’re looking for.

Great books that are very suspenseful.  The books are actually about magicians, who are kids.  These kids (which are the Heap kids) always get caught up in these crazy adventures as soon as life gets great for every one in the Heap family.  I love how the author tries to make it so at least one character is looking on the bright side, trying to find something good about the problem.  However in some of the problems she puts them in, it’s hard to find a good thing about the problem. Do they always get out of there problems read and find out!

You should read Wayside school books! They are very funny, but also weird. I bet you Louis Sachar can make anyone laugh. There are three books so far. You would love reading it, and Louis Sachar is one of the characters in the book. I suggest this book for anyone.Devina - Rattien

This “unfortunable” story is nothing compared to the unfortunable! It’s worse. Not only that, but if you like orphans whose house gets burned to the ground, their reletives dying brfore your eyes, and instant crying at home, I completely recommend this book series. Just think about it. But I warn you, you’re missing out on a great book series! ^_^

If you like fictional books, then you should read Holes. It’s about a boy named Stanley, he is just a regular kid until he is found responsible for a crime he didn’t commit, or did he? Stanley embarks on many interesting adventures that can possibly lead to a slow and painful death. When I first read Holes, I didn’t know that it was so intense. You should read to find out what the meaning of Holes stands for in this book. by Janae - Rattien

The Bridge to Terabithia is a very well written book.  I really like the way the author, Kathrine Paterson, used suspense to keep the reader hanging after every chapter.  I also liked the way she used similes to make me feel like I was in the moment.  I am sure you will feel the same way.  Please tell me how you like the book.
