Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: John Mixner

          This is the book I read. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is about a wizard named Harry Potter whose parents were killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort. Harry lives with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and his cousin Dudley. Honestly, I think they just hate him and want him out of there house. Anyway, one day, a letter comes in the mail that is addressed to Harry. Dudley snatched it from Harry, and gave it to Uncle Vernon. He told Aunt Petunia to come to him. Uncle Vernon burned the letter and gave Harry Dudley's second room. A second letter came that was addressed to Harry, but it had Harry's new location on it. So Uncle Vernon nailed the mail slot shut. The letters for Harry just came through the cracks in the doors, so Uncle Vernon nailed the front and back doors shut. One Sunday, while Uncle Vernon thought he finally beat the anonymous letter sender, letters for Harry starting shooting out of the fireplace. Uncle Vernon didn't take being bested so well because he told Harry, Dudley, and Aunt Petunia to pack some belongings because they were moving away from number four Privet Drive. One day, while the Dursleys were at a hotel, they got another letter for Harry. This set Uncle Vernon to another universe with rage. He bought an old, rickety house on an island with no neighbors. On the night of Harry's eleventh birthday, the door to the house came crashing down. A man named Hagrid stepped in. After a little talk with Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, and turning Dudley into a half pig, Harry left for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

           Harry had to get all of his supplies for Hogwarts, then a few days later, he left for Hogwarts. On the way to Hogwarts, Harry meets Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger. At Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine get placed in one of the four houses called Griffindor [there is Griffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin].

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

This is the book I read. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is about a tournament starting called the D1 Grand Prix. Turbo duelists from all over New Domino City have gathered in the stadium. For the first match pairing was Greiger versus Yusei Fudo. [Yusei is from a separated part of New Domino City called the satellite] Yusei didn't show up to the turbo duel until there was one second left on the waiting timer. It was a good game, Greiger had Yusei on the ropes, but he made a comeback and beat Greiger. In game two, Akiza Izinski dueled Sherry Leblanc. It was a duel between two rivals. That duel was even closer than the first one, and Akiza beat Sherry. In Yusei's second duel, his duel runner was sabotaged the night before. He faced Hunter Pace in his second game. In a turbo duel, there are two win conditions: pass the finish line before your opponent, and get your opponent's life points to zero from 4000. With ten yards left, Hunter took an attack from Yusei that drained his life points to zero.

The book starts of with Greg was talking about this peace of cheese on the basketball court outside. So apparently if you touch the cheese you get the cheese touch. Greg said, "if you have the cheese touch then no one will ever come near you until you get rid of it." Then the next morning Greg got up and went down stairs and got cereal. And his brother Manny was siting on his fake toilet and dumped his cereal in there. So it was summer and when his dad left for work he said, "Make sure you go outside today" and Greg said, "OK." Then when his dad left all he did was play video games all day. Then when his dad was about to get home he drenched him self in water and got a football. Then when his dad came threw the front door Greg came in threw the back door. Then it was Halloween and they were trick or treating and these mean guys were driving an car and they soaked them with water and they said were calling the cops. And the guys chased them and they ran home as fast they could. Then at the beginning of the year there was an contest for the best comic and Rowley won.

          The One Safe Place

            Summarized by: Andzelika Cetera

    The One Safe Place is about a boy named Devin that lives on a farm with his grandfather.  When his grandfather died, he moved to the big city because the job on the farm was to hard for one person. In the big city, nobody cared for the children. The children had to find their own food, water, and shelter. when he meets a girl named Kit (about his age), she invites him to her rooftop (where she lives) and gives him some food she stole. When he decides to steal some fresh bread from the baker, he gets caught, and the baker told him that that was the last piece of food he was ever going to see. But when a boy, a little older than him (named Roman) told the baker that he would buy the bread if he let Devin go. Outside of the baker, Roman asked Devin if he wanted to go to a wonderful place where he get everything he wants. Devin and Kit took the offer, and went there that night. When they finally arrived, a boy named Luke showed them their room, the pool, the farm, the soccer field, etc.  Devin noticed something strange, all the kids were just sitting, doing nothing, and looking terrified. A few days later, he had to go to a building to take a shot, (the children call the building "The Place") when he took it, he felt different, it hurt whenever he moved a muscle.  After a few weeks in the home, him, Kit, Luke, and a friend named Malloy, all figured out that whenever they visit "The Place" they switch minds with some old people and that they had to leave this home. The only problem was that they couldn't.  The home had 12 posts and they had to find the key and the code (1 code to unlock 1 post).  When Kit met with the owner of the home (the administrator), Kit secretly took the key and Devin found out all the codes for the posts.  When they went to the administrators office, they were only able to unlock a few posts because the alarm in the office want off. Devin got on the ledge of the building to the rooftop,  and met Roman.  Roman told Devin which posts are unlocked.
    All the kids in the home got out, and Devin decided that they would go to his farm and have a better life than they did before.

I rate this book 5/5 because this book is amazing! it shows so much emotion and friendship!

       It,s The First Day Of School Forever is a great book. It starts of with a boy named Artie. Artie has the worst day of school ever. He hits the most popular kid in school in the back of the head with a baseball, tosses a expensive  scorpion ( the class pet ) out the window, hearts the most popular kid in school again, likes the most beautiful girl in school and bumps her head, almost kills the most popular kid in school ( Brick is his name ) and sees manikins saying " I'm Artie".
Then he wakes up and thinks it is a dream but the same stuff happened all over again only worse.

       It happens about 5 times getting worse and worse each time. At the end it actually a video game a boy named Christian is playing when his dad gets home.

So the lunch ladies went to The principle and complained that George and Harold are always tricking them and pulling pranks on them so they quit. Then the three aliens walked in but dressed up like real lunch ladies and said we will be your new lunch ladies and Mr Krupp their principle said "Your Hired .''  The next day the aliens made the lunches and made them evil so who ever ate it turned into evil zombie nerds.

The George snapped and Mr. Krupp turned into Captain Underpants and destroyed all the aliens. George and Harold found out that the Evil zombie nerds needed to drink root beer to go back to normal. So everybody drank root beer and everybody was safe. This book had 190 pages. I give this book 7 stars because it made me laugh and it was very funny.                                                                                                                                                         BY: Austin Kilduff

I just finished reading Captain Underpants And The Big Bad Battle of The Bionic Booger Boy By Dav Pilkey. This book has 180 pages. The books to main characters are George and Harold. The book starts out with George and Harold changed the sign that said please was your hand after using the toilet but then changed it to Please wash your hands in the toilet. So because the school nerd was in the  the bathroom and he never did anything wrong he did exactly what the sign said. After that their principle walked by and was like what, but thank gosh they got away quick enough so the didn't get in trouble. The next day it was presentation day they went first. So their invention was funny it had two ketchup packets under the toilet seat and when someone sits down the ketchup goes all over their legs or pants. Everybody loved their demonstration even their teacher. Then Melvin got super mad at George and Harold because they made a funny and mean comic about Melvin. So after school Melvin went home and made a robot. He had an idea that one of the invention he made that combined  things together would make him super strong if it combined him and the robot. So he pointed it at him and the robot and turned it on and it was working until Melvin sneezed. Because he sneezed the machine processed the booger and made Melvin a robotic booger boy. So the next day they had a field trip to a tissue factory but when they got their the guy gave Melvin some tissues and it stuck to him and made him bigger. Then Melvin got mad so the guy gave him more but it turned him into a bunch of booger monsters and started to destroy everything. Captain Underpants came and destroyed him and the little bionic booger boys and saved the day again. I give this book 6 Stars and I would recommend reading this book because it was hilarious.                                                                                                                                                                                            By; Austin KIlduff

As they were looking at the poster Their mean principle walked by and said "what are you two doing." So George and Harold said " Were thinking about what we can do for the science fair." But their principle said "You boys are not attending this years science because of what you did last year."They thought for a second and explained it they said we said that we made glue and when all the teachers and the principle stood up all their chairs were glued to their buts.Also all the children were laughing a lot so when they went to stand up and clap and they were glued to their seats. After that they sneaked into the gym were all the invention were and they look around and Melvin the smartest kid in school was still in their twerking his Pasty 2000. He should them how it works,so it takes pictures of something and turns it into real live things. After he left hey filled all the inventions with jelly so at the science fair all the inventions were horrible. After that their principle gave them detention. So while in detention they made a comic that was about evil toilets. So after they were out of detention they by accident they put the comic in the pasty 2000 and toilets came to life. So George and Harold snapped their fingers and Their principle became their good all pal Captain Underpants. Then things started to get get worse the teachers started to get eaten. So Captain Underpants fought all the toilets and defeated them. But they remembered they put a super strong. big, and powerful toilet that was their king and they haven't seen him. So a couple minutes later the big toilet appeared and put up a really good fight. But Captain Underpants beat him and saved all the people that got eaten.

Smile Raina Telgemeier

Smile is the first book in the Smile graphic novel series. The book is written by Raina Telgemeier, who is also the main character in the series. The story starts off with Raina going to the dentist and being told she needs braces. After, Rainas mom drives her to her girl scouts meeting and the story flashes to an hour later. The troop leader takes Raina and some of her other friends from scouts to Rainas house to drop her off. But, when racing to the porch Raina attempts to grab Kelli's jacket hood but falls face first to the ground.
 Her one of her front teeth get knocked out. The other gets pushed up into her gums. Raina's mom is unaware of this though and rushes her daughter home along with the tooth. Her mother calls the dentists office, get an appointment for that night, put the tooth in milk, and drive to the dentists. They give her laugh gas and pull the tooth down and the other back into place. Raina wakes up in her home with a cast on her teeth to keep them the teeth in place.
 Raina stays home from school on the first day and heads back on the next. When back at school everyone wonders how she got her two front teeth all messed up. After awhile Raina gets the cast off and it turns out her two front teeth are up even HIGHER than her others. She goes to girl scouts and shows her friends her teeth. She says how she was worried that it made her look six when another girl pointed out that her ponytails make her look six. For the rest of the story Raina is not seen wearing ponytails.
 The phrase "Smile!" is seen multiple times in the story which is how it got its name. Raina Telgemier goes over her story very well in graphic novel form and goes over all the challenges she faced such as boy confusion, earth quakes, and even dental drama.

Regular Show

Regular Show is the book that I just finished reading and my thoughts on it are that the book is great but not for little kids because the way the characters act and what they say sometimes .
First were going to start of with the two main characters witch are Mordecai  and Rigby . So when they do chores they always do the boring things so when their boss Bencyon tells them to go do something or get something they mess it up or don`t get it done.Skips is a smart guy and when there is a problem he finds a way out of it also he is very strong. Muscle Man and High Five Ghost are always getting people mad and tell jokes all the time also when something is boring they try to get it more entertaining . Pops is a strange guy and very old school .
Those are my thoughts on the book hope you enjoy reading it.

After that they said in four more moths.  Then fudge heard their having a baby fudge asked how are baby's are made.Two days after that peter said that his mom got him a book on how baby's are  made. After fudge read the book he went around everywhere telling everybody how baby`s are made.  Then once the baby was born peter was annoyed  because every night the baby would not stop crying so  he could not sleep. After a couple weeks it was time for school. So on the first day of school fudge was in kindergarten and peter was in six grade.

In the beginning of the story Nikki made up a band named "I'm not sure yet" and her band has her two best friends Chloe and Zoey, also their boyfriends are Marcus and Theo, and of course Nikki's crush Brandon is in the band. When Makenzie found out that Nikki's band got a record deal and got to play in their own show she got mad and tried to sabotage the band. Makenzie tried sabotaging it by saying spoiler alert Brandon wants to break up with Nikki in the next episode and in real life. As soon as Nikki heard that she was crying her eyes out, but Brandon didn't know what was happening. So, the very next episode Brandon said I'm breaking up with you Nikki. After all that crying Nikki cried even more when she was recording for her new song for the band. Brandon came by the studio to say hi how was everything and Nikki stopped crying and said everything is fine go away, Brandon got confused and asked what happened and Nikki said I know you want to break up with me so just say it now while I'm crying already. Brandon was so confused he didn't know what to say and said who told you that. Nikki said the whole school was talking about it. when Brandon said that he never wanted to break up they knew Makenzie had her name written all over it. Then after all the crying they both made up. Makenzie found out they were still together and almost made her band break apart. She asked the record deal person if she can dance in their next video and teach them some dance moves and he said yes. Nikki was so excited to meet her dancer for the next video, once she talked to the dance teacher she turned around and saw Makenzie talking on the phone just like her and said hi sweetie I'll be your dance teacher tootles! Nikki told the band about this and told the record deal person about not liking the dance teacher so he fired her. Since, Brandon is part of the newspaper club he needed something juicy for his story so he waited. It was Winter break and Nikki went to a skiing place with her family and Makenzie went to the same skiing place just like Nikki, also Brandon came too. there was this skiing tournament for extreme skiing people so Nikki entered the tournament and so did Makenzie. Makenzie aced the tournament but Nikki beat her. When Brandon heard that Nikki one he did an interview about her win in the skiing tournament and she made front page for the article and Makenzie got upset. Finally at the ending of the book winter break ended and the band did a charity for kids. Than Nikki's crush Brandon went into her line and donated five dollars and gave Nikki a kiss! I'd rate this book ten out of ten it was fantastic! the number of pages were three-hundred and twenty.

              Unlikely Loves

              summarized by: Andzelika Cetera

Unlikely Loves is about animals that have a great friendship and that are inseparable. This story is very heart warming because most of the stories have a sad beginning but then when the animals meet they care for each other.  There are, The fox and the hound, the boy and the marmot, the girl and the moose (one of my personal favorites), the donkey and the zebra, the hen and the pugs, the tiger and the golden retriever and much much more!  

I rate this book 5/5 because the way the author wrote it and because of all the stories.

                 The Giver 

                          Summarized by: Andzelika Cetera

The Giver is about a 12 year old boy named Jonas, chosen to be the new receiver of memories when he turned a 12.  Starting his new job in training, with the giver, he learns how to see color, love, real pain that he can't explain, and the lie about the release ceremony's.  At his training, The Giver,  puts his hands on his bare back, and transports a memory to Jonas.  It feels real, like you're there, first few days of his training he had enjoyable memories, then later on he had painful ones. Such as a terrible sunburn, or sledding down an icy and rocky, hill.  During a day of his training, requested to watch the release ceremony, His father-a nurturer, was first to release the twins he had just received.  One twin, weighing 6 pounds, they cleaned and kept for care, and sadly the other twin, little less than 6 pounds, got put down. Now since Jonas knew this, he got scared because the next day, Gabe, his fathers nurturing child he has been taking care of, is assigned to be released.  Jonas couldn't let that happen so he decided to take the left over food (extremely strict rule broken) took his fathers bike and left with Gabe to find a better place.  After about 4 weeks of searching, Jonas discovered wildlife, his legs were sore from riding the bike,  they rarely found any food, and they finally found a village, a better place to live.  
(I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars because i think the author should make the characters more realistic because the 9 year old sister was using some words I didn't even know)

I just finished reading "The School Story", by Andrew Clements. In this story, the main character Natalie has written a manuscript that she wants to submit to a publishing company where her mother works.  Hannah is looking for the next big book with a school setting, and she needs to find one quickly because her boss, Letha, is putting pressure on her.  Natalie knows, however, that she can not just hand her mother her manuscript "The Cheater" because she would not be taken seriously.  So she and her best friend decide to create their own fake agency and submit her story under a fake name.  Through a series of events, the manuscript ends up on Hannah's desk, and she is told by Letha to read it over the weekend. Natalie goes through the whole weekend worried about what her mother would say, and that she was deceitful because the story did not get to the publishing company honestly.  At the end, we find out that her mother loved the story and that she is going to recommend that it be published!  I would highly recommend the book.  It was well written, and I could relate to the characters and the emotions they were feeling.
