Sleepaway Girls seems like a very interesting book. It's about a girl named Sam Montgomery and how she goes to a camp called Whispering Pines to apply as one of the counselors. When she arrives, Ashley the queen of Whispering Pines tries to ruin her summer. Sam also has a crush on the surfer- blond and flirtatious Hunter. There's the playful Cole that loves teasing Sam but is comfortable while hanging around him. Sam becomes friends with a gang of girl that calls themselves the Sleepaway Girls.

Rainbow high By Alex Sanchez(Takeisha Garner) #4

      The book Rainbow High really interests me and I actually like it but their was one problem going on with each of the three main characters that I disliked. One of the main characters, Nelson, is set on a strained relationship with a guy Jeremy who is tested positive for HIV and his mother agrees with Jeremy about braking up with Nelson so he can't get HIV himself. I disliked this because I didn't want Jeremy and Nelson to brake up even though Jeremy was positive, they made a perfect couple and nelson finally found someone he really loved and cared about besides his best friend and the other guys hes dated.                                                                                                                            Another thing i disliked had to do with my favorite character, Kyle, he was being forced to go to Princeton, a collage kyle wanted to go to but now he doesn't want to because he afraid of leaving Jason. I actually agree with Kyles parents and that he should go to Princeton. he shouldn't have to worry about leaving him but at the same time he should because what if Jason cheats because he also likes girls.                                          The last thing I disliked had to do with my second fave character,Jason. Jason had finally came out to his team and then had came out on television during a game, he also kissed kyle while be interviewed when they asked did he have a boyfriend.Now his Athletic scholarship is taken away. I disliked this because so what if he's gay, he can still keep his scholarship to play basketball. does it really matter about what gender you like? the good thing that made it better was people thought he was an inspiration to gays, lesbians, and bi's and helped him try to get it back.

New Moon By: Stephenie Meyer Dana Chen 7E

Blog 5

I think New Moon is an okay book.In my opinion, Twilight was better. New Moon has more action and is funnier but it is still an okay book. In New Moon, it starts out on Bella's birthday. Bella tells everyone not to get her birthday presents but they won't listen, especially Edward Cullen her vampire boyfriend. After the school, the Cullen family takes Bella to their huge mansion to celebrate Bella's birthday. At the party something terrible happens and Bella ends up getting stitches. Edward is afraid of hurting Bella again so he leaves her and go somewhere else to live with his family. Bella becomes lonely and starting having terrible nightmares. Months pass and so she goes to her friend, Jacob Black that is a werewolf but Bella doesn't know yet. Jacob comforts Bella until Bella sees Jacob transforming into a werewolf along with his friends. After that moment in her life Bella starts having nightmares again and decides to jump off a cliff. At the end Bella does get back together with Edward but even after that something more happens.

Sunday 29                                                                                                              Dear Dumb Diary,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    THIS ISN'T FAIR!!!!!! Isabella gets her contacts(but now notice she wants her glasses back), Angeline gets me on the newspaper with me picking up underwear and steals my crush once again and what do I get? Nothing. Then again i found my inner beauty, but was replaced with weirdness, and yeah I repeated myself and I'll say it again like the other day, '' MY INNER BEAUTY WAS BEING REPLACED WITH WEIRDNESS'',because Hudson read the paper and gave me a dirty look like I was eating underwear.Guess what? Today my mom is cooking Meat Loaf and you know what that means. We'll be eating poison today. Hooray!Even Stinker is excited because he ran away, my dad and I had to go find him but Stinker must of gone far, but he'll come. I just know he will, but what kind of dog leaves their owner to a terrible death, Stinker.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Monday 30                                                                                                              Dear Dumb Diary,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Hudson Rivers was actually talking to me, but he asked me about the whole underwear thing so of course i told him so he wouldn't think i was a sick person or some stuff like that,''I was, was ,was, was......" for some reason i couldn't get the words out, so i talked real fast"Well i was just helping my mom with the garage sale we were having and so my dog, Stinker, had took the bag and i couldn't find him and so when i got up this morning their were a  bunch of underwear and i.....'' "OK!!!!, anyway I'll see you in class".I felt brave but stupid for even talking, i should off ran off but instead i ended up embarrassing myself.                                                                                                                                      Tuesday 31                                                                                                                  Dear Dumb Diary,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Today I lied about me being sick because i was still stuck on the whole newspaper thing, so my mom got some icky disgusting medicine that smelled like Stinker but worse and this proves my mom is violent because she crammed it down my throat and left my throat in series medical pain, the kinda pain you get when you have a soar throat. My mom stood home with me, treating me and taking care of me, it actually felt good but i was kind guilty, it was like my inner beauty came out of me again and told the truth because i actually blurted it out and you don't want to know the serious and medical pain I'm about to get now.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

A Wind in the door by Madeline L'engle Book Blog #4

Dear Anastasia,
               I've got more information! Turns out that the dragon in the garden, is a cherubim, go figure! Meg also said that she had a strange visitor in the night saying that thing this called an eachthros is out to kill Charles Wallace. On a lower note the thing about Charles Wallace and the eachthros, well it has already started. The echthros are killing Charles's miticodria. Now he is deathly ill.the doctor says he won't make it...
   Although the strange visitor said that there is a way to save him. Meg, and Calvin will have topass 3 tests. If they don't then Charles Wallace dies, then Meg, Calvin,and Proginoskes(the cherubim)get Xed and turned into echothros. The soul purpose in life is to X all creation. the way an echthros works is that they take the form of something or someone else to be.
                                                 Until next time, 
Halle

A couple of months later Mattie found a family that was not sick and stayed with them. Mattie stayed with them for a while until she had to go to find her mother.
