I am reading a book called Annie the Apple Pie Fairy.  It is about a fairy who loves cooking apple pies. She is a cook on a cooking show. Then another fairy showed up, and Annie the Apple Fairy thought she was trying to take her place. Do you think in the end the fairy will be able to take Annie's place?

I read Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot. In this book, a little boy named Ricky saw an evil scientist destroying a robot. When he saw that, he was at school. At recess he kicked a ball as hard as he could at the evil scientist's head. Then the boy and the robot became friends. The evil scientist made a mutant lizard. The robot fought the lizard and beat it. Then they put the evil scientist in jail. 

Lucas W. Grade 3 

I am reading the BFG by Roald Dahl.  It is a funny book about a giant that is funny and nice and helps a little girl.

In Lone Wolf, Foalan is in the Outermost, where there are few trees, lots of caves without bears, and wolves he doesn't know. He was hunting and wandered there and now he is lost. Foalan has found the Cave Before Time and finds cave drawings of stories about wolves, caribou, and owls. I am enjoying this book.

Week 7 Challenge 2015

It's Week Seven of our Summer Reading Blog Challenge.  How is your reading going?

If you are wondering what book to read next, check out what Aubrey, Paige, Chloe, and Lucy had to say about their books.

This week I am reading Magic Tree House #20: Dingoes at Dinnertime. Jack and Annie found a little joey (which is a baby kangaroo), and they wanted to find the joey's mommy. When Jack and Annie try to find his mommy, they discovered a wildfire. Then they went back to the spot they found the joey. They heard a slapping noise, and it was the mommy! We have three chapters to go yet!

Aubrey D. Grade 2

I am reading a Doc McStuffins: Bubble Trouble. It is about three friends who were playing with bubbles. A girl named Alma refills up the bubble maker. When they turn it on, the bubbles don't come out. My favorite thing about this book is that they can fix the bubble maker, because they show Alma what to use and what not to use.

Paige H. Grade 3 

I just finished the book Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery. It was AWESOME. In the book a family brought home a bunny that had glowing red eyes and fangs! There was a cat named Chester and Chester thought the bunny was a vampire. I would love to have a pet like Bunnicula!

Chloe M. Grade 4

I am reading The Last Hope, which is in the WARRIORS series. My favorite character is Firestar, because the other characters trust him. Firestar is also brave and strong. He won't do something he doesn't agree with. That is why he is my favorite character.

Week 6 Challenge 2015

It's Week Six of our Summer Reading Blog Challenge. How is your reading going?

If you are wondering what book to read next, here are a few suggestions from Gavin, Hunter, and Kailee, and Kelsea.

Check out this video about the rainforest!

I read Magic Tree House Fact Tracker: Rain Forests. I learned about plants and animals that live in rain forests. There are very big plants in the rain forest, and some are even bigger than bicycle tires! There are animals in the rain forests that haven't even been discovered or named yet! Rain forests are being destroyed by people and animals are becoming endangered. Rain forests give us a bunch of stuff that help us live and stay alive like food, medicine, and clean air. 

In Magic Tree House: Afternoon in the Amazon, Jack and Annie go to the rain forest in the present day, but if the rain forests become extinct the author will have to change the book so Jack and Annie have to go back in time to see the rain forest. The most important thing I learned from these books is that we need to protect and save our rain forests!

Gavin T. Grade 2

Here Comes the Strikeout by Leonard Kessler

I am reading Here Comes the Strikeout. In the book Bobby strikes out and his friend helps him out by teaching him how to hit the ball.

Hunter D. Grade 3

Owl Diaries: Eva's Treetop Festival by Rebecca Elliott

In Owl Diaries: Eva's Treetop Festival Eva wanted to put together a festival but she needs to ask for help from her friends. Asking for help is something that she does not like to do. Will Eva get help so she can put on the Festival? I really like the book because it teaches you that there's nothing wrong about asking for help.  

Kailee F. Grade 4 

Starring Jules (As Herself) by Beth Ain

So far in Starring Jules, the movie that Jules is in got postponed and they have to wait to start filming the movie. The movie was postponed because the main lead got something in his eye.

The Official Ninja Turtle Handbook by Golden Books

This week I've been reading The Official Ninja Turtle Handbook. It told me everything about all of the characters in the episodes of Turtles that I like to watch. It also told me about the monsters the turtles try to defeat.

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer by Megan McDonald

I am currently reading Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. Judy Moody thinks she is going to have the best summer ever. In the beginning of the story Judy had news from her mom. Her mom said that her aunt Opal was coming over to watch her while they go to California. Next in the story, aunt Opal came and gave Stink (Judy's brother) and Judy a present. Stink got a book on how to catch Big Foot and Judy got a mood ring. That is what happened so far in my book. I'll tell you more about it next week! 

Paige H. Grade 3 

Best Friends Forever by Amy Shields

I am starting to read Best Friends Forever it is about different true stories about friendships of animals. In chapter one, an orangutang named Suryia and a dog named Roscoe meet by a stream where Suryia and an elephant named Bubbles are walking down a stream with their trainer Moksha Bybee. They spot Roscoe lonely cold and hungry.
