I am definetly planning to read this summer! I am going to start out by reading all of the books on next years black eyed susan list. Also, I just got the book Small Steps which is the sequel to Holes, so that looks pretty good. Yesterday I read the book Michael, Wait For Me; which was amazing! I would highly reccomend this book. It’s by Patricia Calvert.
June 9th, 2008 at 1:14 pmWell, I just want to reccomend some books.
June 9th, 2008 at 1:20 pmFirst their is the Harry Potter series. Which are the BEST if you haven’t read them. Also a newer(is newer a word?) series called the Twilight series which are also pretty darn amazing.(Defintly for mature readers). And last but not least, Rat, which mde me cry. A lot.
Oh yeah, Twilight is by Stephenie Meyer, and Rat is by Jan Cheripko.
I just finished Small Steps. I really liked it and would reccomend it. It left you on a huge cliffhanger though, so I seriously hope their will be a sequel to this sequel!!! Does anyone know if their already is a sequel out?
June 13th, 2008 at 4:16 pmThere is not a sequel to Small Steps, nor has there been any information that there will be one. But Louis Sachar writes a lot, so maybe he will want to continue with the characters.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:14 amI just read the Lightning Thief by some Riordan guy. If you like adventure and mythology you may want to read it. It is the first in a series. Has anyone read any of the other books in this series? I wonder if they are as good as this one. It is a “Percy Jackson” book.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:25 amI haven’t read the Lightinig Thief series myself, but one of my friends is really into it, so I probably will soon. She (my friend) is on the fourth I think, and she thinks they are all really good.
June 16th, 2008 at 5:28 pmDoes anyone have any good book suggesstions?
June 18th, 2008 at 5:04 pmAnything? It would be helpful if you could include the author.
I just got finished reading the most amazing book! It is called Facing the Music by Margaret Willey. It is sort of hard to explain without giving the whole thing away,but it was really good. If anyone has read this I would love to discus this with you. Because, in the begining, I found the characters actions annoying, but then I realized they were pretty realistic!!! I forgot to mention, this book is told from alternating points of view, which I thought I wasn’t going to like, but I actually did.
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:42 pmI read the book Witness, by Karen Hesse. It is nonfiction, but still pretty entertaining. I thought it was really sad, it was about this town getting invaded by the Ku Klux Klan, and who joins them and who turns against them.It was pretty good.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:32 amI just noticed that the book Witness has a Christopher Award on the front of it. I have never heard of this does anyone know what it means? Have you read any books that also have this award.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:35 amHello Back in Black:
Karen Hesse is an awesome writer. The book Into the Dust is one I read years ago and it is still powerful today. You asked about the Christopher award. Here is some info:
“First presented in 1949, the Christopher Awards were established by Christopher founder Father James Keller to salute media that “affirm the highest values of the human spirit.” Their goal is to encourage men, women and children to pursue excellence in creative arenas that have the potential to influence a mass audience positively.” You can learn more and see a list of the winners from previous years if you go to the Christopher awards website.
Keep reading!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:24 amI read the book Comedy Girl. It was okay. Sort of predictable. Has anyone else read the book?
June 29th, 2008 at 2:04 pmI just finished the book The Rogues by Jane Yolen. It is historical Fiction set in medieval Scotland. It is full of adventure and a good read– so I highly reccommend it. But beware as it does contain a lot of Scottish dialect– you have to be willing to figure out some of the meanings by sounding out what the word is. Laird for Lord for example is one they use a lot.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:47 amThanx SMS media, that sounds pretty good. I read the harry potter series and figured out a lot of British terms (like row is pronounced Ra-oww.) This book seems pretty interesting.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:54 pmI just read the really good book Paint the Wind, by Pam Munoz Ryan. It was told from alternating narration. I really liked it. (I think the book was sort of meant for 10 year olds…, but it was still a good book!
July 5th, 2008 at 3:34 pmI read the book The Pull Of The Ocean. I really liked it because it was told from altenating points of view. Also, I liked the story line. I thought the end was sad. When I had my mom read it though, she said she didn’t like it because she thought the main character was selfish.
