Alice in Wonderland is a book about a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange land full of weird creatures. She meets people like the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts, who tries to cut off her head but was stopped when they had a trial about who stole her tarts. It was a fun book to read.

Paint the Wind by Pam Muñoz Ryan

Blogged by Leea M.

The name of my book was Paint the Wind. The book was about a girl named Maya, who lives with her grandmother, because her parents died in a car accident. The grandmother she lived with was her father's mother and she was very rich . Sadly her grandmother died of an old age and a weak heart. So Maya was sent to live with her Mother's family in the country.

That is as far as I got.

The Haunted House

 Blogged by Morgan S.

So this is what it was about. There was this girl named Amanda and this boy named Josh their parents made them move to a new house. But Josh and Amanda didn't want to move. They had this dog named Petey. And Petey really didn't like the new house either, because he started to bark at everybody that was in the town of Dark Falls. (The name of the town.) So then they had a landlord and his name was Mr. Dawes . He was a really nice guy. So then when they got settled they started moving their stuff into the house. And Amanda had started to see a boy and a girl in the house.She told her Dad and Mom but of course they didn't believe her. So anyway their Mom and Dad wanted them to get out of the house for a while. So while they were going on their walk they met a young boy Ray about Amanda's age (12). So then Ray, Amanda, Josh, and Petey had started walking up to the school that Ray had pointed out. They saw a gang of kids, and they seemed to start talking about Amanda and Josh. So then after a few minutes the gang of kids started to close in on Ray, Josh, and Amanda. They got really quiet all of a sudden. Then suddenly Mr Dawes came and asked what was going on then the circle broke and they formed tiny groups of 2 and went back to usual. So after that they started to play a game and thats when Petey ran loose and got lost, but Josh and Amanda didnt realize it until they got home for lunch. So at night their parents went to a party at the neighbors house. So then Josh and Amanda went to go find their dog Petey. They went to go look in the cemetery and thast where they found the dog . But the dog didnt seem too happy to see them again. Then they saw Ray coming along to join them. Petey ran away again and Josh followed after him, but Amanda decided to look at the grave names and she saw that Ray Thomphson was on one of them and Ray said "You weren't supposed to find that out yet, I'm sorry." So then Ray grabbed Amanda and started choking her. Then Josh came with the flashlight and started to point it at Ray, and Ray's face started to melt. So after that they went home and something really weird happened. But this is too much for a book report so I'm just gonna skip to the end. Josh and Amanda killed all of the ghosts . And then they rescued their parents and they drove out of Dark Falls. The End.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Blogged by Shea M.

I read the book The Lightning Thief. The story is about a boy named Percy Jackson. In the beginning of the story of the story Percy is just a regular kid. He has never known his dad only his mom and step-dad, Smelly Gabe. He has been kicked out of a lot of schools and has only one friend whose name is Grover. Then he finds out that he is a demigod, and he is sent to Camp Half-Blood. Chiron, the activities director at camp explains to Percy that the Greek gods are still alive and that one of them is his parent. Then Percy is claimed by his father Poseidon, the god of the sea. Percy isn't quite sure how he feels about father suddenly claiming after the 12 years his father completely ignored him, especially when Zeus's mater bolt has been stolen and Percy is now the main suspect for this crime. If Percy wants to prevent a full fledged war between the gods from breaking out then he must find the bolt and return it by the summer solstice, only days away. He is not alone on his quest though. He will be going with Annabeth, another half-blood and Grover who is apparently a satyr. Read the book to find out what will happen on their incredible journey to save the world.
