shark girl


Kelly Bingham shark girl


This book is about a girl who gets attacked by a shark and something tragic happens. This book explains the poor girls recovery and what she does to go through with it . Jane the recoverer meets new people in therapy. She also has to lean how to cook again and draw and much more.


I love this book it was great i was telling someone about it and the loved it just from the back. I finished it in like basically 2 days. It is kinda sad. this book is so greatly written that you can basically feel Jane's pain and it make you hurt and feel bad very much but in a good way.

the sisters grimm (#7 the everafter war )


Michael Buckley the everafter war


This book number 7 is a surprising twist. The scarlet hand decides to attack. Dragons, goblins, warlocks, witches, dogs, cats, pigs, princes and much more go to war against each other and there leader is a very unexpected person you love him during the other books but during the 7 every thing changes.


This book keeps you on suppence i couldn't sleep until i finished each chapter so i stayed up and finished it then i would read 2 words in another chapter and have to read that one. I think this book is a is a book everyone in the world would like and i think so does everybody else that have read it so far.


the sisters grimm (#6 tales from the hood)


Michael Buckley Tales From the Hood

The book is number 6 in the series. In this series Mr.Canis or the big bad wolf was put on trail for killing little red riding hoods grandma. He was held in jail until his trail. When his trail was held he was found guilty and was put to hang but exscaped because the lumberjack lied and said he defeated the big bad wolf. There was one cure but it made the big bad wolf really mad.


I personally love this one it was one of the best of the series so far. I would persuaded any child to read this if i could.

the sisters grimm (#5 magic and other misdemeanors)


Michael Buckley magic and other misdemeanors


This book is the next one in the series. This book #5 is an extension to imagination. This book is about Sabrina and Daphne traveling in time but, they didn't know they did until someone important told them... Also a new mayor has came in and is evil so she is making people pay extra for there homes or they kick them outta town. The big bad wolf also is coming outta Mr. Canis...


I personally like this book a little less then the others but it is still great. I think the author could of put more details into it .

the sisters grim (#4 once upon a crime)


Michael Buckley Once Upon a Crime


In this book there is a girl named Sabrina and her sister Daphne who live in a fairytale town that they cant leave or the barrier that holds the folktales in will break and war will begin.

There is one sword that will cut the barrier and take the hurt fairly home and heal. There are problems that are caused cause the fairy named pucks dad gets killed from a bad organization called the scarlet hand. The Scarlet hand put a spell on Sabrina and Daphne's parents that makes them sleep and there is only one way to get them out of the spell and they don't know what it is yet. There is one fairy that has to go with puck until he heals and during the healing puck picks Sabrina to protect him so when he almost was healed she did something to Sabrina...

In my opinion i love this book and there is much more to this series that others should read. I think i would bring out peoples imagination and people would come more friendly. I loved this series and i brought joy to me and i hope to one day complete this series.

Love You Hate You Miss You


Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott is about
an alcoholic named Amy, who thinks she killed her best friend, Julia. Throughout the book, Amy writes to Julia, letters on how sorry she is and what's been going on in life. Mostly, life sucks for Amy.


Amy has just got out of a mental hospital, with thoughts about Julia. She thinks her death is all her fault, and some other people do too. Like Julia's mom, Julia's boyfriend, and almost everyone at school. Except Patrick, this guy Amy hooked up with at a party. Patrick's father had a heart attack at a carnival a few years back, with a smorgasbord of people around. (Smorgasbord is my new favorite word!) So Patrick mostly keeps to himself, and his best friend, Mel. Amy has no friends until, you read this book.

I chose this book because it looked like this movie I kinda saw called American Beauty. From what I remember of that movie, I'm positive, that they have no relation. Anyways, the book had some highs and lows. Mostly lows. The book wasn't as creative as the cover, I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone, who is a very slow reader, who does not enjoy thrill. At alll. 2 stars.

The Missing Girl


The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer, is a dramatic novel about five sisters living with their fat, smoking mom and their out-of-work dad. All of the girls are diffrent, but in the end, when the youngest goes missing, they all come together.
Beauty, Mim, Stevie, Fancy, and Autumn are all prey to the man. He watches them each day, choosing who he loves the most. He doesn't like the oldest, Beauty because she's ugly. He doesn't like Mim, she's too thin. He doesn't like Fancy, because she has special needs. He is focusing on Stevie, the pretty haired girl, and Autumn, the little one. Meanwhile, Beauty is focused on getting a boyfriend, and leaving their small town. Mim turns out to be a lesbian, Stevie has anger issues, and her anger forces her parents to send her away to her aunt. They say it will cost less money. Fancy has no idea what is going on. Autumn finally gets kidnapped. (I'm not saying, Oh she finally gets kidnapped, but someone does get kidnapped) Then... You'll have to read it to find out!!
This book was pretty good. The only problem is that it was kinda slow in the beginning. Otherwise, it was awesome. The book was entertaining, and it had you on your toes. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoyed The Lovely Bones. I chose this book today at Lift Bridge because I liked the plot, and cover. I'd rate it 5 stars

Beautiful by Amy Frost


Beautiful is this really screwed up book that I chose for three reasons. This book was really bad. At first I was like 'OOH!' At the end i I was like "I just wasted $10.00 for that crap?!" Yeah, don't read it.
Cassie has just moved from a big town Washington to this crappy little Seattle Suburb. Cassie starts the story on all the new kid worries. Once she gets to this school, she is officially named the 'beautiful seventh grader.' *Hence the title Beautiful. Yep, that's right. I caught that little detail!!!! See Mrs.Henry! Off topic...* Anyways she befriends another 7th grader named Alex. Alex pressures her into all kinds of junk. Later in the story, Alex's half-sister, Sarah comes to live with Alex. Cassie and Sarah become best friends, which gets Alex all "Wah Wah I'm scum" *She doesn't say that, but when I was reading it, i thought oh she's total scum.* Alex and Cassie become enemies, and Alex swears to ruin her life.
Beautiful was one of the worst books I've ever read in my life. And I read Diary of A Wimpy Kid! Maybe the writers went to school together because, I'm not sure what book was worse. My favorite part was probably the parts with Sarah, she's like the light of the story. Don't read this, you might stab your eye sockets out with a wrench. * I think I over-used the words scum and crap in this, but those two words are the definition to this book!!!!!* No stars at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweak


Tweak by Nic Sheff is a story about the author's life and how it was turned upside down by drugs.

Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time when he was 11. With that he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and Ecstasy, and have addictions to crystal meth and heroin. , he felt like he could be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent incodent one summer in California to convince him to get help. Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. I watched Nic fall into the mental and physical problems of drug addiction, he painted a picture for me. his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself was awful.
For me it was an easy listen a quick story not much to tell you about.
You have to read it yourself. But i thought it was an example of how hard life can be.
I recommend this for anyone mature and understanding.

The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Completely Lost It


Gemma Stone is going nuts. Bonkers, crazy, pshyco, whatever you wanna call it. And it's all because of Debbie, and Brian. Here's her story.

Debbie had always had a history of really bad boyfriends. She usually broke it off after the month of 'dating'. Debbie had once had a boyfriend who fell in love with her named Birkette. Birkette was devastated when Debbie broke up with him. He wrote poems, and everything. Once Debbie met Brian, she fell in love. Brian proposed to her in a ratty grocery store by the spice rack.
Gemma is Debbie's younger sister who craves love, like a fly craves poop. She's a hopeless romantic, who is socially challenged. Her best friend Jody, trys to get her to go out with this freak named Raven De Head. Raven and Gemma try out for Shakespear's The Tempest. Gemma really likes the theater geek, Nick. Nick is a total flirt, though. In the end.... Hahahahahaha IM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU!!!

This book was weird. Mostly because it was written in British. Britain is confusing..... Anyways, the book was interesting. It's not a book I would reccomend to everyone, but to people who can wait to get into a book. It starts slow.... I'd rate it 3/5. I chose it because it was pink, and it caught my attention with vibrant colors. It's by Lisa Shanahan.

Slob by Ellen Potter


Owen Birnbaum is obese, and he's not doing a thing about it. He's ignoring everyone tripping him, his mom's 'diets', and how Mr.Wooly hates him. But when his Oreo's go missing, it's war!!!
Owen and his sister Jeremy's parents died in 2006 when they were shot in a deli. Owen's been trying to figure out who shot them by creating a TV like thing that can see the past. Owen brings 3 cookies to lunch everyday, and lately they've been going missing. Owen has his suspicions too.....
Slob sucked rotten eggs on a hot summer day in Arabia. I would rather cut off my feet, and try to walk through flames than read this book again. The only reason i finished it, was because I couldn't find any other books at the moment. The book was distasteful, and had no description. I wanted to gauge my eyes with a straw. Not a knife or a fork, which would be quicker, but a straw. That's right, it would be 12 times more painful!

If I Stay by Gayle Forman


Mia has a choice no one should ever be forced to make. But life doesn't always go in your favor. I mean would you choose to have your parents, and your little brother to die in a horrendous accident?
Mia is 17 years old, and her family is dead. Wait- Let me rephrase that, Mia is 17 years old, and she wants to die with her parents and younger brother, Teddy. While taking a drive on an icy day, the family's car swerves off the road and the parents die. When she and her brother get to the hospital, Mia realizes that she is no longer inside her body. She is a lost soul, watching over her friends and the rest of her family. She soon learns that her brother has died, and along the way she looks back on all her greatest family moments. Her guitar-playing boyfriend, Adam and her best friend are trying to break into her room, and she's trying to decide whether life is worth it now...
If I Stay seemed like an interesting book, and without looking at the back, I loved the cover. I wasn't disappointed. I loved it. I'd rate it 4/5.

Seventh Grade Weirdo

  The book, Seventh Grade Weirdo by Lee Wardlaw, is about a boy who wants to start seventh grade with a new image. I chose this book because I thought it sounded interesting.

  The novel is about a boy named Rob. Rob's family is weird so that doesn't help him fit in at seventh grade. His five- year- old sister is a famous genius and his mother is a Winnie the Pooh addict who drives an ugly van. Things get even worse when ''The Shark'', a school bully decides to make Rob his target. So Rob must try to get by all this to fit in at seventh grade.

One is I don't like ''The Shark''. Another thing I don't like is that his sister is bratty sometimes. Kids who are 12-14 years old would like this book. I would recommend this book to a friend. A guy or girl would like this book.

Bleachers



                This book is called Bleachers, by John Grisham. It is about a old high school football team waiting on the school bleachers for their coach to pass away. I chose this book because I am into sports and football.
                This book is about a whole football team waiting for their old coach to die. They wait until the lights turn off which is the signal that coach Rake, has died. They will do this everytime a team member passes. They were the best football team the school has ever had. That is all behind them now. Coach Rake was the man who lead them into an undefeatable season. They try to figue if they love him, or hate him.
                One thing I liked about the book were that they were so loyal to their team and coach. Another reason was that they tried to relive the old memories of the undefeated season. There are also some dislikes, the book seems to take forever to get through even though it is short. I also didn't like that it didn't have any really exciting parts in it. I would deffinetly recommend this book to older people. I would say it is a book older people would like. The book is for probably men 20+. 

My Side of the Mountain

   I have just read the novel, My Side of the Mountain, by Jean Craighead George. The book is about a boy who hates city life so he runs away to the mountains. I chose this book because I heard it was a good book.


  In the novel, a boy named Sam, doesn't like city life with his huge family in his tiny apartment. He one day runs away to live in the mountains. He befriends a falcon and meets many people and animals in the Catskills Mountains. Sam also learns his family history in this great book.


  There aer two things I like about the book. One is I like how Sam knows how to survive. Another thing I like is that Sam likes the animals. There are also two things I dislike. One is I dislike how the city people keep bothering Sam and calling him ''wild boy''. Another thing I dislike is that Sam's family isn't really sad that he's gone. People who are 10-13 years might like this book.I would reccimmed this book to a friend. Guys
and girls would like this book.

The Contender

                                                   The Contender Free Online Summary Study Guide Robert Lipsyte                                                                                                                                                                       The book I read was called the contender by Robert Lipsyte. This is about a young man named Alfred who turns to boxing after going through a lot of trouble. I chose this book because just the back of it looked really interesing and I am into books that have people going through trouble and they learn from there mistakes.
              This book was one of the best books I ever read. Alfred was really scared because he dropped out of high school and he kept running into trouble on the streets. His best friend James kept going further into trouble from drug addiction and attempting to steal. Alfred just wanted everything to stop. So he started going to Donatelli's Gym to get away from all the trouble. Alfred didn't just want to be a boxer, he wanted to be a Contender.
              I loved almost everything about this book. I liked that Alfred learned from his mistakes. I also liked that he turned to something, to get away from trouble, boxing. There are still some things that I don't like about this book. There are some racist things they put in this book. This I HATE, it leaves you hanging and the second one isn't out yet! I would say this book would be for teens and young adults. I would recommend this book to almost anybody. I would think that only guys would like this, but there may be some girls out there that might.

Warriors #1: In to the Wild

The book I read was Warriors #1: In to the Wild by Erin Hunter. This book was sooooooo good that I got the whole series and even the next series. The book is great that if your reading this now you have to READ THE BOOK!!!



This book was about a cat named Rusty who wanted to live in the woods with the forest cats. So one night Rusty got his wish. He now lives in the forest with Thunderclan. All through his training he was knowen as Firepaw. Firepaw wants to become a warrior like everybdy else. There are so many mysteries going around the clan. Tigerclaw says that the depudy Redtail died by the other clans depudy, but Firepaws friend Ravenpaw says that Tigerclaw killed Redtail to become depudy. So now Firepaws dudy is to find out what really happened to Redtail. Who he can really trust. Save his clan. How will he do it you will have to READ THE BOOK to find out.

This was a great book. Its great for kids 10-when you die. READ THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!


Jumper

This book is called "Jumper" by Steven Gould. This book is about a young adult that could "jump" anywhere. I chose this book because I saw the movie and then I saw this book and I knew I would like it because I loved the movie.
         This book is different from the movie, but in a good way. This book gives you way more information than the movie. The character David is the "Jumper". He lived a hard life and his dad beat him. He just wanted to run away. His dad was very cruel to him and his mother left him when he was a kid. He has never seen his mother since and misses her very badly. He goes through many things with criminals throughout the whole book.
         One thing I liked about this book was that I was very stuck into it and after every chapter I wanted to read more, it made you really wonder what would happen next. The book also had some action like parts in it so that made me read it so much. I didn't really not like anything in this book, it does not leave you hanging at the end. There is only one thing I don't like and it is that the book is over 350 pages and under 400 pages so it does not count at two books. This book was recommended for young adults when I got it, which means it has some offensive language and innapropiate parts. I would recommend this book to many people because it was the best book I ever read, if they dont mind the rating.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

      The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, is a book that you will  be hooked onto and never want to put down . The girls (Lena ,Bridget ,Tibby , and Carmen) are all different and find a pair of pants that mysteriously fit all of them, they believe they were magical. It would be a summer that all the friends would remember. The author Ann Brashes sums it up by saying "Four very different friends. One pair of magical pants. And a summer apart."
                                    All the girls went to different places for the summer vacation. Bridget was a soccer girl who was described as a blond beautiful girl. Bridget went to a soccer camp were she met a boy named Eric. Eric was a soccer coach and was also older than Bridget . Lena was a girl who mostly kept her comments to herself. Lena went to Greece and met a boy named Kostos. Lena and her family were feuding about fish that they sold and conflicts that they have with Kostos family and the fishing market.  Lena finally wins him over after her family bands him from her. The next girl to get the pants is Tibby .  She works at a grocery store called Wallmans, where she helps 12 year old girl named Bailey.  Bailey was annoying at first but Tibby learns to love her.  Bailey would help her shoot videos about people and how they are all so different. Tibby later finds out that Bailey has a disease.  Bailey came very close to dieing. Carmen is a girl who learns how to except her dads new family that was suppose to be a happy surprise.  It was a surprise to her but completely taken in the wrong way. Carmen thought she had so many problems, but didn't realize that she was causing them. She didn't like the family and didn't even consider giving the family a chance.
                                  The Sisterhood  of the Traveling Pants is a book that will relate  to anyone  who reads this book.  I would recommend this book to girls who are willing to take chances in life and who aren't afraid to express who they are .  After all is it really the "lucky pants" that change the girl's lives?

City of Ashes

                       City of Ashes is a book written by Cassandra Clare. Cassandra knows how to give the characters she writes about a way to show their characteristics. Clary is one of those characters. She is a girl that fights downworlders like vampires, demons, and werewolves. Clary Fray has a few reason to want to be normal.
                      Clary Fray falls in love with Jace.There is only one problem with that.Jace ,Clary's true love is her brother. Simon ,Clary's best friend,is in love with Clary.All of this drama makes it more difficult to fight Valentine who is killing random children in the city they live in. Valentine is also Clary's father.Fighting Valentine is even harder to fight when Jace teams up with Valentine. How will Clary ever win this battle?
                      I would recommend this book to teens who are intested in fiction ,and mystery books.I thought this was a great book to read. I hope anyone who reads this blog ,reads this book.

This book is called Eldest. By Christopher paolini. I chose to write about this book becaused I liked it.

It is about Eragon. He goes to this one elf city and is tought by another Rider that no one knew about. He is tought in battle and in magic. He learns spells he did not know of. He is even tought how to speak the anciant language.

I loved this book. Everyone should read it. I recomend it for everybody.

Eragon


This book is called Eragon. By Christopher Paolini. I read this book becuase Xander said the series was so awesome.


The main charecter is Eragon and his dragon Saphira. He was just a farm boy at first but he found a dragon egg and then his whole life changed. He now holds the future in his hands. Will he join the evil Galbatorex? Or will he join the Varden?


This book was very awesome. All ages should like it. I recomend it to middle and high-schoolers.

Strider

   I have read the novel, Strider,by Beverly Clearly. The book is about two boys who have joint custody of a dog they found. I chose this book because it sounded very good.


 In the book, two boys, Leigh and Berry, find a dog on the beach so they keep it. Though Leigh wanted to have the stray dog for himself. The boys promised joint custody so they both own him They then name him Strider.


  There are two things I liked about the book. One is I liked Strider and I thought he was cute. Second, I liked how the boys got to have joint custody. There are also two things I dislike.One is that I dislike how the book is written in diary form. One other thing I dislike is that the main character's parents are divorced. People who are 10-13 years may like this book. I would recommend it to a friend. A guy might like this book.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid


            Diary of a Wimpy Kid  is the first book of a great series. I heard this book was a good book so i decided to read it. I liked this book very much and i want to read more of the series. The author of this book is Jeff Kinney.
            Greg hefley and his friend Rowley are going into their first year of middle school. They have to get through bullies, teachers, his older brother. He thinks middle school is the dumbest thing ever. Greg's mom got him a journal, but it said diary on it. So he has to be careful for no one to see it.
            One thing i liked about this book is that the pages aren't to long. Another thing i like about the book is that it is very funny. One thing i didn't like is how the writing is. Another thing i didn't like is how many pictures there was. Ages 12-15 I think are appropriate for this book. I would recommend it to a friend. Anyone would like this book.

The Magician's Nephew

"The Magician's Nephew" is the title of my book. C.S. Lewis wrote it. "The Magician's Nephew" is about two kids, a magician, an evil witch, a cabby, his wife, and a lion. I chose this book because it is the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia and I am reading the series.
A mad magician (uncle andrew) wanted to find out about these magical rings and traveling to other worlds.But, he did not want to send himself to this other world incase it was not safe because in his mind his life; being a great magician; was worth more than some one elses that could find out for him.So he tricks his nephew and a little girl into travle into another world. In the story Digory and polly (the girl and boy) discover the woods between the worlds, Charn, and Narnia.
I liked all the adventure in the book and I also liked how it made you think kind of deep about the whole other worlds thing. I didn't like not understanding some stuff because the story is set so far in the past and i also did not like how confusing the founding of Narnia was. I think this book is good for teens pre-teens and some adults. I would definately recomend this book to a friend as long as they were going to read the series because "The Magician's Nephew" is like an introduction to the other Narnia books. I think that any one who likes Adventure or books that make you think or books set in the past would like this book.

THE HUNGER GAMES

I READ THE BOOK THE HUNGER GAMES BY SUZANNE COLLINS. It is about a person murdering people but it changes at the end of the story. it was a girl and she was a bad person so they figuerd out who was killing people. it was at the district 12.
     THE HUNGER GAMES is a good book two good things are good about it is i liked it and it was good. the two bad thing about it were it was a high age level book.i loved the book the hunger games. it was good for the most part.
    Two things i liked were i could understand it other books i cant really understand. Yes i would recommend this to my friends two bad things are it is a hard book to read but i connected to it so that is what i read.

Catching Fire



I recently read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy. It was a great book.


Catching Fire starts out a little after where the Hunger Games leaves you. Peeta barely talks to Katniss and Gale doesn't want to get close to her again. Prim and Ms. Everdeen move into thier new home in Victors Village with Katniss. They are the only ones who live there besides Haymitch and the Mellarks. Shortly after moving into thier new home, President snow pays Katniss visit. He tells her that he knows that she doesn't love Peeta and that she had better convince him that she does on the victory tour or else there will be conciquences. He also tells her that she had better put a stop to the rising rebellion in the districts. So she tries to but instead fuels it even more. Then comes the Quarter Quell, which is a special Hunger Games, in which Katniss and either Haymitch or Peeta must compete in with a male and female victor from the other districts. Katniss and Peeta end up going and Haymitch and Katniss make a deal to keep Peeta alive. They decide to make allies with Finnick Odair,4, and a few other players. They kill of many of the players within the first day due to theawful things that appen every hour like a lightning storm and wild birds attacking them.

Deadly Little Secret

Deadly Little Secret, written by Laurie Stolarz, was a great book! It always kept you wondering what would happen next. I chose this book because a friend reccomended it to me.
This book was about a girl named Camelia who was sixteen years old. She had a normal life, a normal family, and normal friends. But, one day, a new boy came to their school. There was rumors saying he killed his ex-girlfriend, and he was a bad kid. One day in the parking lot, he saves Camelia's life. Then it happens. She doesn't know what to believe. While all of this is going on, she is being stalked by someone unknown. He is leaving her pictures and notes, and she doesn't know who it is. It ends up being someone you wouldn't expect at all!
I really liked how this book kept you on the edge of your seat. I also loved how this book was unpredictable. I didn't like how short the book was(252 pages) and i also didn't like how the ending is. But, if you like this book, read the next one! (Deadly Little Lies) I think this book is appropriate for anyone. I would reccomend this to my friends, and any girl who likes a romantic and mystery book.

Wintergirls- Laurie Halse Anderson


The book Wintergirls is written by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book is about two girls to see who can be skinnier than the other.
In the book Wintergirls, there are two girls who are in a competition to see who could be skinnier. But then one of them isn't in the competition anymore, because she died. But the other is still trying to be skinny. Her parents try to feed her actual meal but she won't eat them.

I read this book because the cover drew me to it, just the details on the cover were great!One thing I didn't like about it was that at some points you didn't even know what was going on. But other than that I really enjoyed it!

Pretty Little Liars



Everyone knows that one girl. She surrounds herself with a bunch of girls, who all have diffrent personaltities, and looks. But, know one knows where she is when she dissappears. In this case, it's Allison DiLaurentis. And her four best friends have no idea what happened to Ali.... Or do they?

Allison DiLaurentis was the prettiest seventh grader. She and her four best friends; Spencer, The rich girl; Aria, boho chic; Hanna, the shoplifter; and Emily, the jock. Each of them were close with Ali, but they really wondered about her.... One night, Ali leaves Spencer's house, and she dissappeared. The girls hadn't told anyone about the 'Jenna Thing' ( Don't even ask me what the Janna thing was. i have no idea!) The book was kinda shocking!
I chose this book, because this certain person i know, watches Pretty Little Liars,a nd told me to read it, or else.... Yea it was good... i'd rate it 3 stars
Miss Laney Is Zany! , by Dan Gutman is a story that's fun, exciting, and interesting. In this school all teachers are being ired and cut because the school is CLOSING! There is a teacher named Miss Laney, her office is the girls bathroom! She hosts "game shows" right in this bathroom. She also convinces to kids find ways to earn 1 million dollars to save the school. There is only one way to find out how the kids do and if they're succesful. READ IT! I reccomend this book to anyone interested in funny books. I liked this book because it is fun and exciting. Hope you read it :)
