Two Awesome Books!

 \         

Divergent by Veronica Roth
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein

Divergent is my favorite books of all time! It is about a girl who is Divergent but goes to a different faction. (A  faction is like a group of people with the same personalities. ) There, she learns to be brave and how to defend herself. After a while many things happen and she starts to regret her life-changing decision. Until one day, everything changes.

It left me wanting to know what happened next. Once you start reading, you can't put it down!

I can't wait for the movie to come out in March!

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is another very good book.

If you ever read The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman, it is exactly like that.

Twelve 12-year-olds wrote essays about a public library for a contest. The prize for them was getting to stay in the new public library in their town before it opened. They had to solve a crazy puzzle to see how to get out of the library. The kid who got out of the library first got to be in commercials about the designer of the library, Mr. Lemoncello.

It is very fun to read, because it shows you the puzzles that the kids had to do, so you can do them to.

One of the Best Books I Have Ever Read!

One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

One for the Murphys is a really good book.

It is about a girl who had a stepfather that abused her and her mother. One time he hit her and her mom so hard that they had to go to the hospital. She healed before her mother so she had to be sent to foster care. They put her with the Murphys, a family that had three little boys, and she didn't like it. Then she went to school and met this mean girl and mean boy and hated her life even more. Then her world started piecing  together and got better. She used to be counting the days she was away from her mom because she missed her. Now she dosn't want to go back to her mom!

Great Books....... Need to Read!

Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea
Because of Mr. Terupt is a really good book.

It is about a classroom full of kids and fun teacher. There were about ten main students and they each had different personalities. And when you add the fun teacher it becomes a classroom full of chaos. They did lots of different experiments and activities, but then Mr. Terupt let the kids go a little to far. He might not be able to teach again.

My friends and I made a Because of Mr. Terupt movie trailer.

Because of Mr. Terupt Trailer

Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper is again a really good book.

It is about a girl with disabilities and she is starting 5th grade. Everyone makes fun of her. She can't talk, walk, or eat and go to the bathroom by herself. But she is the smartest in her class, but people thinks she is dumb because she can't express how smart she is. Then her whole life changes because she gets a present.

I think you should read both of these books. Stay tuned for more books.

Braces....... GONE!!!!!! :)

Today I got my braces taken off. It was really easy. I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time. Last August when they were supposed to be taken off they added more braces on. Today I finally got them all off. They were on almost all of my top teeth. I was really scared because I didn't know how they got them off. When I got to the dentist at 7 am it was very easy to get the braces off. I now have a retainer on the top of my mouth, but since I have my braces off I can have popcorn and gum.I am so excited!
