Wow! I can’t believe what a great job you all did on your first blog! With all the responses, I can tell this is going to be one of our class favorites. Please remember, that when you are posting a book recommendation, to include the title, author, and genre. That way, when other kids read your recommendations, they can go right to the library and check it out.

Second Quarter is only a week away, and it is already time to start thinking about our next genres. We will be reading Realistic Fiction and Historical Fiction. Historical Fiction is a story with real and invented characters that takes place during a historical time. If you have an historical fiction book that you are just dying to share with us, please post a book recommendation below. It doesn’t matter if you read the book yesterday, last month, or last year. Just share your thoughts and let us time travel with you! Happy reading!

Dear readers,
You should read Raven Masters secret. Well to admit the beginning is a little goury. If you have read it you’d understand.The author is Elivra Woodruff.Well I forgot the kids name but he’s the kings son and has a friend named RAT!Rat is kind of a slave and has to find mice for his ruler. Oh and the kings son is 11 years old.I’m pretty sure his name is Jacob.
Well I have to have room for my recomendation for Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko. Well I don’t like the second paragraph. It also has inapropriate words in parts.
Well hope you look in on one of the books.

11/29/06 Dear anyone it applys to,
I am reading I am Morgan Le Fay by Nancy Spinger. I think the book is really good. You can check it out at the library. I am in a frantic mess to finish in time. I am on page 121 out of 227.
The book is based on midevil events. Such as King Uther Pendragon and his son Arthur. Of course you should know by how many times I have blogged Morgan is the main character. Morguase don’t forget is Morgan’s 1 year older sister. Morguase is now a women same as Morgan. Morgan is on her way to Avalon. She is now far from Cair Ongwynn(the home Ongwynn and Morguase are at now). Well anyway Morgan’s horse Annie. Annie was originally Thomas’s. Thomas used to be a slave for Uther as a messenger, but Thomas wathced Uther wipp his dad to death and Thomas ran away. Thomas then helped Morgan,Ongwynn,and Morguase run away. They had to travel many days to get to Cair Ongwynn.
You may notice Cair Ongwynns name is named after Ongwynn.
Back to the story. Well they had to pass thru a war zone(were the war just went)and Morgan saw a body with it’s head laying 3 feet away.That reminded her of her dead dad. Morgan usually doesn’t cry but when she saw the body I guess it lightend her.
After wards when they got to Cair Ongwynn Morgan and Morguase both went out to explore. Later in the story(just a page later) Ongwynn got sick. She got sick from using a strong power. The power controlled her. I’ll tell you of the power next blog. Sorry I ran out of time.

Sighned,

Dear Readers,
I think you should read “Escape to West Berlin.” You should read it because it is a book you never know what is going to happen next. The main girl Heidi, and her family are strugling to be part of the comunity (what the goverment says,) because her father works in a diffrent community. In the book her mother is pregnate, but they herd a story about soomeone who’s husbend worked in the same community as Heidi’s dad works in, but the doctors wouldn’t help her because of the husband. So now they are tempted to one, move to the place her dad works, or two her dad get a new job in their community. To find out, you have to read the book “Escape to West Berlin.”

The House of Dies Drear
I think the House of Dies Drear is a book that mystery lovers would enjoy. It has hidden tunnels, strange intruders, and huanted houses. Thomas and his family are also helping Pluto (the house care taker) get revenge on the Darrows. With some “stage magic” can they pull this prank?
