hey mrs.reed!
ha I got 2nd! anyways, to the book. okay so I'm still reading "13 little blue envelopes". i think I'm going to respond to the question of what i think will happen next. Well Ginny just went to the cafe' in Paris. Her aunt had a friend there waiting for her. Well i think now Ginny is becoming friends with her. But i feel like Keith is going to come back in the picture soon. He really messed ginny up. Being a total snob and theif to her... pssh! but I think that when Ginny gets the next envelope, she will have to maybe travel back to Rome for the apartment. But I think the lady she met is going to help her out alot. Her aunt has kinda just been giving Ginny all these places from the past that ginny is fopllowing after her. Weird... the new girl that Ginny is with will set her on track I hope.
Sincerely,
Danyelle
Hey Ms.Reed
I am still reading "A Seperate Peace" and i'm currently here to elaborate on the worst parts of the book.(that means this book sucks) I have a question for you; if you broke the schools swimming record wouldnt you want someone to know about it? Well, that is what Finny did not do. First of all, if I was swimming i'd want somebody to know about it, better yet break the schools swimming record and get infuriated when someone says there going to inform the school about this glorious ordeal. I dont know what the problem is but Finny really needs to get it together.
I switched books from My Sisters Keeper to Gossip Girl-All I Want Is Everything.
I'm still kinda inbetween books though.
and I just started the 3rd Gossip Girl book.
I know I'll like it though because I've like the first two.
I'm excited to get started.
<3 you!!
ms. reed,
how are you? i am doing good, but about the book i honestly have had anytime to read because i have been caught up with other things. but i do promise to keep reading it because i feel like i can really relate to it. even though it's not that intresting but i am going to continue. i am in about the second chapter. well i'll talk to you later. take care and may god bless you!!!!! :)
From the book that I am reading, I think that the next chapter will be another person that goes to the other whirligig. I think this because the first three chapters where different people and different places connecting with the whirligig. This book is very confusing and I was getting more confused the more i read. Because each chapter has different people and different places, and it makes you think what happened to them. I think that the more that I read this book the more I might start to understand and the storie will come together.
hey mrs reed!!!!
im reading "Monster" and i think wat was most suprising was that the whole book is based on the trial of the character Steve Harmon ive gone thru over half the book at it is still stuck on one court trial i thought something new would happen to the character like either he would be released or been let free.i guess the trial is taking longer than i expected.im kinda getting tired of the book now bcuz its all about the trial nothing new is happening to the character and the book isnt moving along like i expected
the series gossip girls are great i read the first two and the one im on now is a good one some of this stuff in these books are probably what people really gossip about but its awesome. The show isn't that good well anyways i hope to have all of them read by december
ms. reed!
the book that i am reading is called Bones on the chisholm trail which is a great book that i suggest to anybody of any age.the book is really interesting and i can't wait until the end of the book find out the twist of they are trying to find on the chisholm trail. c u later ms.reed.
What came as a surprise in the book? Why?
Well to being when i first started reading it a girl named Anna had been disobeying her parents. Which later on they ended up sending her to a camp in Archstone which in the carribean. It is a camp for trouble girls to get them in shape and teach them about self astem and things like that. Well Anna and her group they were assigned with Andler to go out camping in the jungle to learn stuff. What surprised me is the fact that there were hunters and they ended up shooting the head guy Andler in the throut. Then all the girls including Anna took it as a get to escape and leave the island. So right now the girls all found each other and then set up camp and are going to hike to the coast so they can get back to America and their homes. When one of the girls went to go find food she came back and it was poring, and told the other girls that she had seen the man that she thinks had killed Andler. So that is what shocked me alot..
But for now i'm still trying to figure out whats going to happen.
Hey Mrs.Reed, im reading the book "Hoot" still and im kinda getting out of it but anyways the question im going to answer is # What came as a surprise in the book? Why? , the thing i think that gave me the biggest suprise is that there are little owls living in holes in some area and paulas pancake people are going to build over the owls holes and kill them all. I think thats terrible and its bad.

What do you think will happen next? Explain
The next scene i would think that will happen next will be about the blacks get to play in the major leagues. Becuase while i was reading it said that they were more blacks getting into the major leagues and the cubains are gettin abained. So then the team will be better than most temas and win the world series.
later!!!
I am reading the book Eragon. In this point of the story Eragon is learning how to become a smarter dragon rider. His first mission is to kill the people who had destroyed his home and killed his father. So he now with his friend Grom and they are searching for those people while escaping from the Urgals. The Urgals are ugly monsters that keep attacking him because they found out that he was a rider. I think that Eragon is going to kill those people and then fight against the dark lord who took over all the lands. So I am excited to see what he plans on doing after he succeeds his first mission.

i am readin a new book called stormbreaker in the book the most unbeliable thing so far is that the cops said his aauncle was in a car accident he went to the junkyard and seen his ancles car and he found out his uncle was really killed by a machine gun. while he was ssurching the car they threw it in the car crucher and unbelibaly escaped after it crushed his leg.
The book i'm reading is the skin i'm in.The book is very good.It started getting good when the girl meekla stop caring what people thought about her she started buliding up her self-esteem.I think whats going to happen next is meekla gonna get some news clothes and start caring more about her self everyone would notice instead of knowing her as the little black girl.
uhh....hey!!!
im ready a book called a man named dave.It is a series from the child called it.This book is very very good the book talks about his life after he had gotten out of foster care and away from his mother who abused him..He eventually joins the airforse and has a baby with his ex wife and remarysto the editor who publises his great books!!!
What i think will happen next is that Cassius Clay will change his name so he doesnt have to go to the war.They say that he is going to get 5 years in prison and never alloud to box again for not going to war. I dont think he will get in trouble.
Hey Ms.Reed. I am still reaidng Speak. The best part of my book is the girl getting to know some new people. Her old friends won't talk to her at all for some reaon. The worst part of the book is her friends not talking to her at all. I am wondering why they are not talking to her. That is what confusing me. I think I need to keep reaidng to find out.

(What are the best parts of the book? Why? What are the worst parts of the book? Why?)
HEy Ms Reed,
THe best parts of the book are the fight seens very intense and exciting. The book is based on Vampires and how a boy became one when he was little and is now trying to live life. But Last time i was reading HE was fighting his best friend and almost died. ANd Then His friend Killed his godson for no reason. And i loke the fight seens and stuff because the book has so many details towards the topic and it paints a picture for me witch is very hard because most time i get really bored with books and read them because i have to or forced. Well thats about it and the reason i like reading that book well see you monday Ms. Reed PEACE OUT
Hey Mrs.Reed,
well I just started my book,"PRETTIES" by scott westerfeld , i thought it was intresting from the start. Towards the middle, it got even more intersting and i wanted to read more.Im on page 40 and I started reading it today!!It's kind of a cunfusing book, but that's what made me focus more on it to understand.It's about a girl name Tally and she was planning on goin to this costume party, people had their own cliques. There was this mysterious shadow following her and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she followed it and realized it was someone she meet before wearing a mask. When she ripped off the mask it wa one of the "UGLIES", and it was a boy named Croy who was indeed ugly to her and Tally couldn't bare to look at him and he ran off.
hey mrs.reed
the book just keeps getting better and better im planning to read all of the ones i haven't read yet they are the type of books that are hard to put down i'll be getting a new one here in the next day or so.
hey mrs reed,
alright, so i went and got the prelude to the gossip girls book like you suggested...and as i started reading i got lost very easily. i'm pretty sure i got the right book, but it just jumps into the characters and they're lives soo fast that i'm confused with what im reading. i'm excited to be reading these books as soon as i figure out which one starts out the series! hah, HELP :)
Ms. Reed, I have read very far in my book (Revenge of the wannabes), I am on page 68. I think that this book is about friends that turn against each other in a clique. The best parts about the book are when the characters say 'gawd' instead of 'god' or call other people EW's, which stands for Enternal Wannabes. They keep repeating the same phrases over and over again,and I think it's funny. I think that Massie is going to try and play a prank on Alicia because she found out that she was going to model for Teen People. I can't wait to see what is going to happen next!!!

hey mrs reed
I think that i think that everyone is going to go to jail except for steve harmon. steve was helping in the robbery but king and bobo were the only ones that physicaly did anything.steve was going to give the ok but never did and king and bobo still proceed to rob the drug store thats what i think will happen next.

the part in my book swallowing stones surprised me becase all he did was shoot his gun strait in da air and he somehow ends up killing a man.but i think in the end it wasnt him who killed the man but someone else....
XxclayxX
Thw best part of the book so far is when she starts meeting new people.Since nobody in her school likes her.
I have not finished my book yet so i can't tell you if I like the ending of the book or not.
I think what will happen next in the book is that her and heather will join a club.
A surprise that came to me in this book was the begining.How she called the cops on a party and now nobody likes her.I think that is very mean.She was just trying to do the right thing.
The most belivle part of my book "Speak" is how every one makes fun of her for calling the cops on a party and everyone hates her.She is also in high school.So that makes a lot of since that they would do that.sometimes people can be so mean.
Something that makes me wonder in this book is why does she keep not liking her self and not finding something pretty to wear in the morning.I think that she should just forget about the phone call over the summer and live her life how she wants to live it.

Hey Mrs.reed
