The Tail of Emily Windsnap!


"Everybody has a secret." but none of them are quite as "swishy" as 7Th grade Emily Windsnap's, hers includes a tail! One of the 7Th grade classes was swim lessons, (she'd never gone swimming before) and that's when she found out about her secret, her legs started to join together and before she knew it she had sprouted a tail, she was a mermaid! she snuck out at night to find out if she really was a mermaid, she was so she decided to explore a little bit and on she made friend-best friend actually. She explores and explores until she gets into trouble with King Neptune on the way to find her dad. In the end everything turns out all right, by the way the book was called: The Tail of Emily Windsnap by: Liz Kessler. It's a GREAT book!!!

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing



I have recently read a book called Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by: Judy Blume. It was a great story about a boy named Peter and his little brother fudge. First, Peter got a turtle and basically Judy Blume writes all the adventures that happen to Peter and Fudge in a year. Peter is the narrator and it's very funny to here it from his point of view. Fudge was THE WACKIEST brother in the world (I thought my siblings were weird!). He had managed to lose his two front teeth, cut out most of his hair, and eat a whole turtle without chewing.
I LOVED THAT STORY IT SURE WAS FUNNY LOL!

The Call of the Wild


I have just finished an AMAZING story about a dog named Buck and all the adventures he has. He is stolen from his home in Alaska and is taken to California where they try to break his spirit, then sell him for a sled dog. Poor Buck gets sold or stolen at least five times each. Out of all his owners this last one was the best,Buck saved his life twice and earned him 1,600$ in five minutes!! Buck heard a call and was off when he came back his owner was dead. He joined the wolves that made the call, which ended the book. Oh by the way the book was called The Call of the Wild by: Jack London.
