Tori C. The book i am continuing to read is Crank by Ellen Hopkins i have read about 110 pages since the last time. The main conflict for bree is her dad is offering her drugs and she doesnt know what to do. She can either save her life and not mess it up by not taking the drugs or mess it up by taking the drug her other problem was figuring out who she really was, was she the girl everyone called her by, kristina or is she bree. she figures that she is open minded and willing to try everything and that she is bree. so she is thinking about taking the drug from her dad.
Nathan W. the authers name is Ridely Pearson. The title is The kingdom keepers. I have read 127 pages. The main conflict of the book was when finn had to save the kingdom from the bandits that were tring to take over the kingdom. I think that finn will save the kingdom from the bandits. I think he will save the kingdom because he has shown curage and willingness to do anything to save the kingdom from little problums the whole book i think he will save the kingdom

On The Court with Grant Hill by: Matt Christopher. I read the last 50 pages of the book and Grant Hill (the main character) accomplished the goal that whole book was about, and that was making it to the NBA. The last 50 pages explained how his rookie season went. They gave detail about thet statistics that he averaged during his rookie year and they also siad that he won a trophy saying "Rookie Of The Year".
Danielle M. I'm on a new book called The Voice on the Radio by Caroline B. Cooney. I have read 30 pages. The main conflict of this book is Janie and Derek. I'm not exactly positive. Derek is in college and he wants to be a DJ so he had a talking hour and he was talking about Janie when she saw her face on the milk carton being kidnapped or lost or missing. I think Janie will figure it out that he told the college radio about her story because they have been emailing each other and I think Janie will ask him what it is that he said.
Sam W! I am reading Best Friends For Never by Lisi Harrison. I have read 70 more pages since last time! I am on page 180. The main conflict is when Massie had to share a halloween party with Claire she made sure at school Clarie didnt get her outfit. The girls outfits made statements not only to the kids! OCD(their school) has gone uniform! Luckly Massie thought of a better idea then plaid. There will be a deisign compition. Whoever makes the best outfit will be the uniform! Massie was determined to win and stayed up all night to do the majority of it. But she put it in a trash bag so Claire wouldnt peek. The next morning..GONE! She has no clue whta to do now! I think Massie will easily make a new one and it will be beautiful!

i am reading blazer drive by:sigmund brouwer so far i have read 150 pages in my book. the main character josh went on a ride on his horse with his dad. on there ride they found a whole lot of dead bulls of there. each worth 1000 dollars. him and the love of his life stephine are trying to find out who killed the bulls. one day stephine left him a note to go to a ranch. he got the with his friend luke. he rang the door bell and 2 guys came out of the house. he asked them if they had seen her there and they sad no so he sad he was sorry for interupting them and went back to the car. when got in the car he went in the woods to hide his truck and went back to the house. he walked in to the back yard and then they shot him with a tazzer gun. when he woke up he was siting in a car with his legs and arms tied up with duck tape next to stephine. they were planing to put sum sort of gas in the truckso it made the cops look like they were just 2 kid that died in a truck. then luck came and saved them and they called the cops while josh went back to let the bulls free. that is what the main conflict in the story.
Ashley Lyn A. I'm still reading Totally Joe by James Howe. Last blog, i have read 55 pages and altogether since then, i have read 118 and almost finished with this book. The main conflict of the main character (Joe) is that he is having a hard time trying to fit in with his peers. He'soften made fun of by "popular" kids, and also teased on and on about his likes and dislikes. My greatest prediction about how Joe is going to solve this problem is that he is going to stand up for himself once and for all. I think this because he often talks about it when he talks in the 1st person in his autobiography. I know these bullies are pushing him on a verge, and he's going to stand. One example of how he said this in the book was when he exclaimed, "My best friend Addie taught me how to stick-up for myself". This is the main conflict of my book and how i think it's going to be resolved.

On the Court With Michael Jordan By Matt Christopher
I have finished the book since my last blog assignment. Michael has over come all of his conflicts, from hitting a game winning shot in the last second to win his last championship of his career or if it was just beating his older brother in basketball in the backyard. I predict Michael Jordans son will be a very good basketball player like his father. Michael has a family now and was inducted into the basketball hall of fame. He's also known as the greatest basketball player who has ever lived.

The book I am reading is called Beastly by Alex Flinn. This book is about a boy named Kyle and has told a girl that she needed to loose some weight and get plastic surgery and needs to get her teeth bleached. Then the girl called him beastly. I am now on page 40 and there is still no conflict other than then he told the girl who called him beastly that he would take her to the dance. He already had a date and just wanted to make her cry by telling her to meet him there and her ticket would already be paid for but he never bought her one so she was not allowed in. I think the conflict in this book may be that he wants to transform back into a real boy like he was. I think this will be solved by having him be nice so that the “spell” the “Witch” put on him is broken and he is free to be the normal person he was.

The three main characters of the book(Murphy Mc Gowen, Leeda Cawley-Smith, and Birdie Darlington) are stuck together in the same house for the rest of the summer. Every morning they have to get up very early to pick peaches . Every morning Murphy has to sneak away to have a quick cigarette and then off to the orchard. Birdie has met a boy that she is starting to like. The boy also works at the same place the birdie works at. But saddly for birdie, her father is thinking about giving away the orchard to the man next door who is around every year to ask if he can have the place. But this year birdies father is thinking about it. Since birdies parents are in the middle of a divorce, her father is not in the "mood" to grow peaches.

Since the last blog post, I have finished the book, The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, by Heather Brewer. I thought the book was very good. Vladimir, or 'Vlad', has begun to discover the secret world of vampires. Although, not all vampires are friendly. Vlad must take on the challenges of resolving the problem his father caused by marrying a mortal, Vlads mother, while also taking on his own life challenges of being a teenage vampire. The council of vampires want to make Vlad pay for his fathers mistake. With the help of his uncle,Otis, his 'aunt' Nelly, and his best friend,Henry, Vlad must try to solve the mystery of his parents deaths, while preventing his own. I think that Vlad will be able to overcome this current obstical, but not before seeing new vampire faces and learning more about his secret heritage. I can't wait to read the next book!

I think you're discription of the book was good. I feel bad for Birdie and what she has to go through. One thing I am wondering though, is what do you think, or what has Birdie done so far to fix this problem? I know the conflict, but what will she do to try and reslove it?

I finished the book Kiki Strike by Kirsten Miller. In this book, Anaka and the Irregulars think that Kiki is a traitor and was using them only to uncover more of the Shadow City. While their fury towards Kiki boils and simmers, strange kidnappings and robberies begin to happen. The team eventually gets back together with Kiki, trusting relationships are rekindled, actions are explained and justified, and together the Irregulars go after a surprising criminal and regain Kiki's (whose name turns out to be Katerina) mother's ring.
