nathan w. flight29down by d.j. machale i am currently on page 45 of my book. i choose this book because my uncle was on flight 29 and in the book it uses his name, and i like to read suspence thrillers like this one. in the book nathan, melissa,eric,lex,jackson,taylor,daley are all going on a trip and insteed of taking a commercial airpalne they use this palne flown by a guy that flys his own planr because the commercial coumpanies have rules and he didnt want to follow them but when they were flying they entered a ferce storm and the engines on the right side shut down and the plane started to go do a an alarming rate. i like the beginning of the book because it gets right into the action and it has lived up to my expectations because it has alot of action in it so far.
I am reading the book, Amandine, by Adele Griffin. I chose this book because it seemed to be one that would teach a good lesson on friendship. So far, i am on page 56 and the book tells of a girl named Delia who just moved into a smalltown with her and her parents. She meets an extravagant girl named Amandine who SEEMS to have it all. She's a dancer, an artist, an actress, and a singer as she tells. Delia automatically finds out there's more than meets the eye. Amandine is whacked... and she even keeps a journal of all of the most disgusting things she's seen in her life. Amandine has gone through many friends and they have all left her, and all Delia can think is, "I'm the next contestant". Delia has fallen into something bad, and i can't wait to see what happens next. I do like the beginning of this book because Delia is always trying to figure out what to do next with the problem she got herself caught into.

Amandine by Adelle Griffin.
I chose this book because i thought it looked funny and interesting. This story is about a girl Delia, and she meets the new girl, Amandine. Amandine is very diffrent, her first day she wore a science lab coat and pink ballet slippers! She says shes an artist and draws abstract pictures and then forces Delia to look at them. Since Delia's mom wanted her to make friends and get together with people as soon as she heard of Amandine, her mom was already making plans! This was the last thing Delia wanted to do. So she had Amandine over for one night thinking it wouldnt be that bad, well it was. All she did was talk to Delias parents, and insisted on watching opera! This book is very interesting and keeps making u want to read more. I am happy to read this book.

1.The current book i am on is All-Star Pride by Sigmund Brouwer. I am currently on page 41.
2.I chose this book because it is a hockey book and i like hockey. I also chose this book by reading the back of the book to make sure it would not be boring.
3.So far in the book a kid with the nickname of hog is playing on a allstar team for hockey. In the beggining of the book the WHL team was on a plane to a out of town hockey game and the team playied a prenk on hog. They put shaving cream on his head and the whole entire plane was laughing at him. Hog is very tall and looks tough so he made sure no more people/hockey playiers playied tricks on him. Threw out the book it shows that hog is deticated to hockey as a defensive man and will do basically nothing but hockey.
4. I like the beggining so far. I liked it because it is interesting and has mad jokes. I alson liked it so far because it has humor as well as hockey. The book is about an 8 1/2 out of 10 to my expectations. I mainly like it for the humor and hockey but there are boring parts in it.

Eclipse, by Stephenine Meyer
Currently on page 621
I have one chapter left until I am finished with the book Eclipse, book 3 in the Twilight series. I chose this series, because I have a fasination in vampire books. I find them to be very interessting and entertaining. I was reading other series, such as 'Vampire Kisses' and 'The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod', when a few of my friends suggested the Twilight series. They thought I would really enjoy it, and they were right!
A lot has happened in the past 621 pages. Bella is still with Edward, but is having some troubles with her werewolf friend, Jacob Black.
Bella has also currently graduated from high school, and has been making plans with Edward about their future and when she will become a vampire. But, she has slight doubts about if she's ready...
To put more pressure on Bella, Victoria is still on the loose. And when mysterious mass murder begins in Seattle, people begin to get worried. The Cullens have a hunch that it's a vampire creating new borns (new and young blood thirsty vampires). They must accquire clues that will help them figure out who is behind this large number of homicides.
The begining of the book was very good. It picked right up where New Moon left off and continued along with this fasinating story.
In my opinion, Eclipse is a very good book, and I'm excited to finish it and read the last book in the series, Breaking Dawn.

I am currently reading Burning Bones by Christopher Golden and Rick Hautala. I am currently on page 40. I chose this book because it is about forensics, and when I got to college I want to major in forensics or be a CSI. Forensics are very interesting, because it is like a puzzle and you need to put together to get the whole picture. This book takes place at a college. The main characters name is Jenna Blake. She is studying to be a coroner. She is currently examining a charred body. All of the burns on the body are external but there was no source of heat on the outside of the body as said by witnesses. So the question is if the death was a “freak accident” or a murder!!
I love the beginning of the book! It jumped right into the interesting parts and other book I have read you start to read the interesting parts when you get to the middle of the book. The most interesting part of the book so far is that the burns are on the outside of the body and eyewitnesses say there was no heat on the outside that could have possibly caused these harsh of burns to a human body.
“Its quite a mystery, isn’t it? I mean, how do you burn someone to death in public, and not have anyone notice?”

The book i was reading was called Amandine by Adele Griffin. This book was so good i finished it already. I chose this book because it looked really funny and it looed like it had a meaning to it. it looked very intresting also. the two main characters were Amandine and Delia. Delia had just moved and was entering a new school mid year was pretty hard for her to pick up on, but when she meets Amandine she thinks that everything will change. when the lies that Amandine has been telling Delia will Delia be able to break free from her friendship. Amandine and Delia are very different people and so it was hard to keep their friendship strong. Amandine was a dancer and artist and a actress and Delia was smart payed attention in school and had nothing to do with any of the things that Amandine does. Will the lies that amandine tells and the games she play ruin their friendship!?. I loved the whole book because it was so suspensful and i didnt want to put it down. you just wanted to know what was going to happen to the two girls friendship. this book has definatly lived up to my expectations because i love it when their is drama in a book because it makes you not want to put the book down so you can see what happens. Like when Amandine started a rumor about Delia's dad. Delia was so mad but she did not know what to do about it. and it was so suspensful that it made you not want to put the book down.
Sarah H.- Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I am currently on page 40. Bella is a small town girl who grew up where the sun always shines in Arizona. For her summers she goes to live with her dad in Forks. She becomes old enough to go live with her dad in Forks. She is dreading this a lot. It never stops raining there so everyone is pale and its a very depressing town. Her mom drops her off at the airport, they say their goodbyes, and off she went. She arrives in Forks, her dad picks her up. The car ride home was some what silent. Talking frequently. They arrive at her dads house. The same house that she lived in when she was little and her parents were still together. She saves her tears for later that night when she goes to bed. Her dad leaves her alone while she unpacks her bags. The next morning comes, the first day at her new school. She feels very awkward coming to a new school. She gets through her first few classes and makes some friends along the way. Lunchtime comes and two boys walk in. Edward and Emmett Cullen. Theres something about Edward that catches Bella's attention. Edward and his brother were knew to the school as well. They gaze at eachother for a little while but then go on with their bussiness. Little did they both know that they had biology together next block. Everyone already has lab partners except for them. Edward sits in the back with one open seat next to him. The teacher sends Bella to that seat. When Bella sits down, Edward sits at the very edge of his seat, trying to get as far away from her as possible. He doesnt move at all the rest of the block. Bella knows there is something strange about him.
I cant wait to find out whats so unique about Edward!

This is a non fiction story about a little boy named Dave and his courage to surive from his alcoholic abusive mother. He makes many attemps to surive but not all are successful. His mother is not feeding him, not giving him much shelter, making him do all of the chores in the house and if he does not do his chores fast enough, then he gets a beating. And we all thought that we had a lot of chores to do. Dave has 3 brothers and they are treated like kings according to Dave. His brothers dont have to help him clean and they dont get beat either.
Dave has made many attemps to try and steal food. He used to steal food from his peers in school. But when he got caught doing that, he decided to steal food from the local grocery store. He was so desperate for food that he would take food rfrom the garbage can that his mother was hiding from him.

I am currently reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer and I am on page 200. I choose this book because I was reading Twilight and New Moon, parts 1 and 2 of the Twilight series. I started reading the Twilight series because I saw the preview of the movie Twilight, and I thought it looked interesting, so I thought that I should read the book before I see the movie. Bella and Edward are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they have a great relationship but, Bella is best friends with Jacob, who is a werewolf, and Edward is a vampire. The werewolves and the vampires signed a treaty to stay on their land, like Edward can't go to La Push because he signed the treaty. I liked the beginning because it just left off were New Moon was, it picked up right from there.

From: Sarah H:)
So far the book your reading sounds very intersting and just your type of book. I agree with you that it would teach a good lesson of friendship. From your description of the story it sounds like a very fun book. I think that Amandine is getting herself into a lot of trouble, as is Delia for being friends with her. Im sure this book will be very dramatic. I would like to read it after your done. Have fun with it, and enjoyy!

I think that the book you are reading is really interesting sounding. It really must be a conundrum for the main character. Spontaneous human combustion is really rare phenomena. Some people think it is supernatural, but that is, of course, unlikely. What could have happened was that a spark created from static electricity could have set the person's clothing on fire. Clothing tends to absorb human fat that is in sweat, and it creates a Wick Effect. This clothing lights up like a candle. However, these fires are short-lived, and I don't think that a person could be thouroughly burned from spontaneous human combustion. It sounds like a really cool book though. Maybe I'll read it sometime.

I am reading the book Eclipse also and it is really good. I still don't get why Edward and Jacob won't get along even though they both lover Bella and that they need to help her. It would just be easier if they do. I wonder how they are gonna help Bella with Victoria and/or the Volturi. I can't wait to read the ending then get on to Breaking Dawn.

What I Saw and How I Lied
By Judy Blundell
Currently: Done
I chose the book What I Saw and How I Lied, by Judy Blundell because it was about America after WW2 and we just learned about WW2 in S.S. I also chose it because the first few pages sounded interesting. I was really excited to read something new!
This book is basically about what happens when Evie Spooner and her family go to Florida on a vacation. Evie's stepfather Joe is home from post-war Austria, and he wants to treat Evie and her mom Bev to something nice. When they get to Florida, everything is closed because the tourist season is in winter, not summer (it's unbearably hot in the summer) so everything is very quiet and/or boarded up. Bev and Joe meet a Jewish couple and hit it off, and Evie meets Peter Coleridge, a movie-star handsome ex-GI who served with Joe in Austria. But Joe isn't thrilled to see Peter, and shows it. Then hurricane season hits and the family is torn apart, literally and figuratively. Joe, Bev, and Peter go out on a boat despite the warnings about intense storm weather, and are lost for days while Evie is evacuated. When Joe and Bev are found and Evie is reunited with them, she realizes Peter is dead. Already devestated, the burn is only worsened by the investigation of Peter's death. Soon Evie finds out that pretty much everything was a lie, and she has to make a decision...tell the truth and win justice for her first love, or lie and protect her family.
This book has definately lived up to my expectations. Although Evie submerges herself in her own desperation to grow up and gain experience, it is a well-spun tale of death and big choices.
