Dear Jason

I chose On My Honor as a book to read because it looks interesting from the front page because it has a boy sitting down looking all worried. The other reason is because I read the fist and second page of the book it was about two boys there names where Joel and tony Joel wonted tony to climb the starved rocks in the bluffs but tony was scared that he will die .So that’s whey I had chose the book On My Honor to read.

I like this book because it had really good detail and ideas in the book Jason you should read this book because it is a good story to read and tell about and it has a lot of detail and idea in it to understand the whole book and not get confused.

I rate this book a ten because of all the perfect details and the way the author had explained his self in the story. And when I was reading this I didn’t won’t to stop because of the author and his grate detail.

Reading this story made me make sense of the world by to obey your mother and father . And when you say a promise to them like in this book Joel and tony told there parent that they are going to the park but they really went to the river and swam and wone of the kids had drown and the kid had died. And the point of the book is to keep your promise.

Dear Brandi and Bailey,

The book I read was George Washington’s socks by Elvira woodruff. These five kids named Mat, Katie, Q, Hoot, and Tony and they take a walk to a take and they find a boat that when they got in it they went bake in time to Christmas eve 1776.When George Washington is traveling a crossed the Delaware river. And when Mat get lost what will happen. Will the others find him? Will they get back to there own time? Find out in George Washington socks.

I liked this book because it was exiting and interesting. I think you should read it because it keeps you hooked in some parts and you can’t stop reading it. The author is good at describing things like how people look and there emotions

If rated this book it would be an 8.5 because 7 is to low and so is 8 and it wasn’t good enough to be a 9 or a10. And some parts were exiting and some parts were like I don’t care about that.

This story helped me make sense of the world because not all things are great some times what you wish mite not be as awesome as you thought and I think that is the author’s message. And I learned if you now about history you are more prepared for the future.

Dear Ivan,

My book is called “Baseball fever” the author’s name is Johanna Hurwitz. This book is about a boy named Ezra. In the family he is so different from his older brother Harris and his mom and dad. His family is nerds (kind of). Ezra loves the sport baseball and usually he never misses a single baseball game if it is on TV. And if Ezra’s dad see’s him watching TV then he will get really mad because he thinks’ that baseball is a waste of time…And all the father does is play’s chess and wants his kids to be experts at it just like he is. But I don’t really think Ezra can be a perfect chess player when he love’s baseball so much because all he really does is talk’s about baseball watches baseball on the TV every night. But I think Ezra’s older brother Harris can because he listened to his father so then he became a nerd kind of.

I liked this book because it is about a sport that I like to play, with all of my friend’s. My partner should try reading this book because; the book has great details and it just doesn’t talk about 1 thing and then go immediately to the next thing. My partner should also try reading this book because maybe he enjoys playing baseball with his friend’s to.

This may be one of the best books I have ever read because it includes a lot of detail and most books that I have read are hard to understand and I don’t really give them a very high rating. And I would also recommend this book to most of my other friends then just my partner because most of my friends love baseball.

The author doesn’t really use big words that the reader can’t understand. The author likes to make things more clear by putting them in small sentences that the reader can just read along instead of trying to pronounce really big words. The author includes a lot of detail which makes it better to read. The author also explains the character’s personally really “EXCELLENT”. Ezra seems like he loves baseball to death!

He’s never even missed a game on TV, he knows like all the baseball player’s names and he is just way different from his brother Harris and his parents. Mom and dad like chess and they are freaks at that game. And they are nerds because they know everything. The dad is a champion at chess, because everybody in the family always talks about he great he is.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I would give this book a 10 because it includes a lot of good details. It deserves the number because it talks about what the characters like and what they don’t like. And the author especially explains the characters personally! Gosh I can not stop saying this so many times because to me it is really outstanding. And in most of the books I have ever read in my entire life don’t even really explain the characters all they do is just introduce the characters at first and the just skip right ahead to the story!

This book helped me make sense of the world by telling me don’t judge people of what they like and dislike. Because you just can’t try to get them to like something that they don’t like. I think the author’s message was trying to get people entertained of what this 10 year old boy can do with baseball. What I personally learned from this story was that when brother’s and sister’s are in the same family they are all not the same. They may like some thing’s the same but not all of it….

Sincerely,
Tyler

Dear Tyler,

I chose the book The Bully to read because. I’m reading the Bluford series and I came upon The Bully to read. It was really interesting. It was about this boy named Darrel who was small for his age. His been living I phili for all his life but then his mom decides to move to California for a well paid job. First Darrel didn’t feel comfortable but then on he thought. It’s for a good cost
I liked this book because it had really good description and I really understood the book cover to cover. My partner should read this book because it’s very interesting. If you read one page. You can’t stop reading it. You start sweating when all the problems kick in.

If I rated this book one through ten. I would rate a perfect ten because of all the perfect description and the way the author explained all the action parts really good and the way the author explains everything Darrel’s thinking.

This book made me make sense of the world because back then nobody really cared about bullying .They should have opened some kind of program. Like how to stand up to a bully or how deal with a bully or how to build self of steam.

Dear Mr. Bennett,
The book I am reading is freedom at any price by Amanda Stephens. This story is based on two kids getting involved in the revolutionary battles. The teenage kids write articles for a news paper, the kids write about both the perspectives during the revolutionary war. The kids risk their lives just to write an article, who will die, who will live.

I like this book because it gives you information about the revolutionary war in a non boring way. I think you should read this book because it’s not a boring informational book it has dialogue and description. The author takes something from history and makes it into a different world which is why I like this book. “I see you’ve been riding hard’, said the officer. The officer knows this because of the heat of the horse.

The rating I would give this book would be an 8 because the book has dialogue and description but I personally don’t like history. I like this book because it tells you that it wasn’t only grown men doing all the fighting there were also children and women doing some of the fighting. This book is a guys and girls read because its about history. I also like this book because of all the hooks the author makes.

I learned that life is like a domino effect and no matter what size or gender you can do anything. The author is trying to tell you to try anything because you might be good at it. I personally learned that if you push your self forward then you’ll fall forward. Also I learned that you can accomplish anything, no matter what.

Dear Jonathan,

The title of my book is TRACKER by Gary Paulsen. In the book, John’s parents died and he’s staying with his grandparents. But his grandfather has cancer and the doctors can’t stop it so now he only has a certain amount of time to live. While john is doing chores he spots a doe, they stare each other in the eye and it lasts for about 10 minuets, then the doe runs off. After a couple of weeks, hunting season starts and during hunting season the doe and his grandfather connect.
I liked the book because it was full of detail and hardcore descriptions. My partner should read this book because it pulls you in but it’s not as full of action as you like. The author uses a style that pulls me in. like, when he’s hunting, I could relate to it and get very interested.
I would rate this book an 8 because it was really good, but it could have had more description in some parts. Also it could have had an explanation in parts when I didn’t understand the book.
It made me make sense of the world by learning the meaning of thing’s or why things happen. The author’s message was to take interest in things. I personally learned to take pride in what I kill (hunting).

Dear Nicolle,

I’ve read A Matter of Trust by Anne Schraff. It’s about this girl named Darcy
She is going out with this guy named Hakeem. Hakeem has problems talking,
So people make fun of him, for how he talks. This girl named Brisana was Darcy’s friend but they are mad at each other because Darcy is hanging out with these other kids that Brisana doesn’t like, so they are mad at each other. One time Darcy and Brisana were going to get in a fight because Darcy tripped her over, but they didn’t fight. Would they ever get back to being best friends?

I liked the book because it had action, and things like this happened all the time. You should read it because there’s action and you might like action.

What I noticed was that sometimes she would be writing. But I can’t quote because
I don’t have the book someone else took it.

I rate it a 9.5. Because it had action but they were just talking about Darcy, and Hakeem, when it should be about Darcy and Brisana, because the book is called A Matter of Trust and it sounds like it should be about Darcy and Brisana only. When your best friend doesn’t like that person don’t stop being their friend because she isn’t anybody to say who you could hang out with. I think the Authors message was when you have someone’s trust don’t destroy it because when
You have other friends and they can’t keep a secrete you can’t tell them any thing. I learned that even though my best friend might have other friends I don’t like, that doesn’t mean I should stop hanging out with her. Would Darcy and Brissana become friends again? Why did Hakeem move?

Dear Mackenzie,

The title of the book is called Blood Is Thicker by Paul Langan and D.M. Blackwell. This book is about a high school kid named Hakeem. Hakeem’s father had always been a tough man and a nice dad, until he was found cancer positive. So since then his dad couldn’t work so the rents bill went up too fast. So the family decided to move to Detroit. But when they got there Hakeem noticed that his cousin who ounce was an angel is not an angel anymore. Savon, Hakeem’s cousin, never listened to his dad or his mom so he was almost always in trouble. And Hakeem always knew that Savon wasn’t up to anything good, so one night he decided to follow his cousin at twelve o’ clock. After about an hour of following him and his friends, he came to this place, he didn’t know what it was so he went inside and he couldn’t believe his eyes!

One reason why I liked this book was because the author made me feel like if I was the main character. All the emotions Hakeem had I had too. And plus this book is based on a real person’s life. I believe you should read this book because I think you will be very interested in reading all the other books in the Bluford series. I also think you should read this book because you won’t stop reading it ounce you start. And plus it has interesting quotes, like; “ boy you better shut your mouth!” Savon exclaimed, moving his face inches from Hakeem’s. “ Oh so know you’re gonna threaten me, right ?”Hakeem challenge, his fusturation at the past months events fueling his anger . “you haven’t done anything except dis me since I got here. Go ahead hit me,” he groaned, shoving Savon back away from his face. “That’s it!”Savon barked, charging Hakeem like an enraged lion. And if you want to know what happens than read the book!

I rate this book a 9. Because I loved the way the author described the life of the main character. And all the action and thoughts the author put into it!

Reading this book made me understand that even though you might not get along with one of your family members, that doesn’t mean that you should hate them. And you should always be with them no matter what! The authors message was almost the same except this book was based on two cousins but I believe that this situation could happen with any family member, not just cousins. So this book made me understand that even though you might hate one of your family members, that doesn’t mean you should stop hating them. Because deep inside you know you love them, and you will always be with them no matter what!
Your friend,

Letter Essay Response

Dear Erica,
The Fighting Ground by Avi wasn't the best book I’ve read. It was actually really boring. The plot was mainly about a boy named Jonathan that wanted to fight in the revolutionary war. His father wouldn’t let him. Jonathan’s mother told him to go down town to see what was going on because the bell had rung to tell the minute men to come and fight. With Jonathan’s courage he ended up battling the other soldiers and of course I’m not going to tell you if he survived.
I didn’t like this book because its historical fiction and I don’t like that kind of genre. Also it wasn’t that descriptive it really didn’t have any descriptive words. I really don’t think you should read this book because if you like fantasy, contemporary, or mystery you’re not going to like this book. I think that this author is good but in the book The Fighting Ground is not very good at all.
This book I would rate a 3.5 because in some parts it was good but then it didn’t interest me but I stuck with it and read the whole thing. This book had no description where it needed it. Also it wasn’t very interesting. I would recommend you not to read it.
This book helped me make sense of the world by, if you really want to do something, yes, you should work at it. Don’t just run off at a young age and try to fight in a war or something extreme. I think the author’s message was to try and make you see that if you run away at a young age to do something extreme it’s not worth it. Personally I really didn’t learn anything from this book because I didn’t like it. I did learn just some stuff about the revolutionary war but while I read it, it was really boring.

Dear Haylie,

My book is called A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer. My book is about a boy named Dave his alcoholic mother beats him for no good reason. Just to see him curls up like a snake at sun down. Dave has always believed in god, but he starts to lose faith. Only his dreams keep him alive. Will he ever escape this nightmare?

I liked this book because it had a lot of emotions. Were Dave was open on how his life was … that he never blamed anyone for the horror of his life expect the one that cause it his mom! The author of A Child Called It gave a lot of detail. Like he was right from the bottom of his heart. Like even thought that the beating and those awful playing games were in the past, he still wanted to remember because that was what made him strong in the end. Hailey I think you should read this book because it will make a big impact on your life. You don’t realize how lucky you are until you read or even see some on getting beat and there emotion towards it. Its like you can’t believe how some child spend their life worrying about food, life for that matter…The author did a great job of writing the story A Child Called It because the author was that little boy, that got beat by this alcoholic mother. Dave Pelzer gave the emotion and the hurt into his story. Like he didn’t want to forget… he didn’t want people to feel bad for him only read his book and understand. I like how he wrapped it up so you want to read more. Like they say” No tears in the writer no tears in the reader”. That is saying goes exactly for this book A Child Called It. Dave put tears in my eyes a couple of times when his mother would play that awful games , making him nearly dead.

My rating for A Child Called It would have to be at least nine and a half because it gave an impact on my life… and it showed me everything is meant to be. Where I am happy of my life, not regretting what I have done. Only looking for the future keeping my head high. This book is fantastic has the detail and experiences you want.

Reading this book helped me make sense of the world by showing me to be happy and to keep m mind going all of the time. That when someone says you are a dreamer take that as a compliment, because just rember. There are kids that dreams are the only thing that keep them alive. Never let someone tell you that you can’t do it, show them if you can, live life to the fullest with no regrets because just remember Ur pain will end shortly.

Dear Alondra,

The book that I wanted to recommend to you is Freedom at Any Price by Amanda Stephens. This story is about a four-teen year old girl and a four-teen year old living in the Colonies and being in the Battle of Lexington and Concord. James, the boy, is with the Colonist during the battle and Sarah, the girl, is with the British during the battle. As shooting is going on between the British and the Colonist Sarah and James spot each other and go running towards each other, going through the bullets! Do they live? Do they die? Does one live and one die? It is up to you to find out.

This book was interesting to me because it helped me understand what it was like to live in the colonies. I think that you should read this book because it kept me entertained, it had a lot of detail, it explains our past in a fun interesting way, and it was an easy read for me. When James and Sarah were on the ship to Boston and the war ship came is a good example of detail in this book. I thought that Stephens did a good job of explaining or showing what it was like to be a colonist. For example when Moses, James, Sarah, and Henri went to Williamsburg and they saw the blacks being auctioned off. The author used great detail in this part of the book.

I rated this book a nine because it had great detail in many parts of the book. Freedom at Any Price kept me entertained; I literally never wanted to stop reading. Freedom at Any Price had many action sense, too. I also rated this book a nine because it helped me understand how the battle of Lexington and Concord went and what it was like to live as a colonist.

This book helped me make sense of the world because not everything goes as it is planned. I think the authors message was that no matter where or when you should always worry and care about your loved ones. I learned that once you’re a friend to someone you will always remember and be a friend to that person. I also learned and felt what it was like to live in the colonies and how hard it was.

Sincerely,
Nicolle

Bailey's Book Response

Dear Joey and Brandi,

The book Guns for general Washington is a greatly detailed book. This book is about Henry and Will Knox’s journey to fort Ticonderoga. Seymour Reit the author was very in depth in his research because it really made a difference on how heavy and what type of cannons they were. It was a very chilling at points and a very joyful book at other points. This book is all around a very thrilling tail of a very important historical point in time with some fun thrown in. Like when J.P. thought there were ghosts but there really wasn’t any well in that part there wasn’t any.

I liked this book because it was really about our past and the reason we have our future which I believe has value. You should read this book because it tells our history it shows what they risked so we could have what we have now. The author had very good and descriptive writing but not enough description on scenery. If I had more on scenery I would have really been hooked.

I gave this book a Nine out of Ten. Because it was a very fun read. A very seldom boring book at that. I also loved the ways he describes the cannons. It always makes me laugh when they talk about ghosts or death. It also is a very scary and in depth in this book it always clears everything up in the end.

This book helped me make sense of the world by it showed me what our four fathers fought for. And it also shows us what we should fight for. The authors message was to show us that we can do anything we set our minds to. I learned that just because it seems hard doesn’t mien you cant try it anyway.

Sincerely,
Bailey

Dear Joey,

The book I choose was Guns for General Washington. By Seymour Reit.
This book was about the revolutionary war and about General Washington and his men trying to get 183 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga back to Boston to try and win the battle.

I liked this book because when I was in history we where just starting on talking about the war and about Fort Ticonderoga and also about General Washington. I think you should read this book because you would get a lot of action and you would get to learn about Boston and the war. I liked the way the author talked about everyone and about the way he writes like “Suddenly he froze. Was he imagining things? No, there it was again-a faint voice singing in the fog!” To me that gives me a good picture of the fog and the person singing.

I think I would rate this book a 9.5 because Seymour uses great detail but sometimes he gets boring and it is like you want to get rid of the book and sometimes you don’t want to put the book down.

Guns for General Washington, helped me by telling me how important history is and why we should learn about it. The book was showing me why we need the revolutionary war. I think the author’s message was to tell us about Will and Henry Knox and why they are so important also to tell us about the great adventure they had to try and win the battle. What I learned was that without the whole war we would be under British rule still and be fighting a bigger war than before.

Dear Colby,
My book is called The Fighting Ground. The author is Avi. This book is about a boy named Jonathan. He is thirteen and is eager to fight. When he goes to fight he learns it’s not as fun as he thought it would be.

I liked this book because the battle was in detail and the descriptions were pretty good. I think you should read this book because it is awesome. It has a lot of detail. Also it’s historical fiction so you learn a little history from it. I liked it when the author wrote how the Hessians and Americans fought. I also liked the description “The cool water dripped down his neck, trickled over his chest, and made him shiver”

I would rate this book an 8. Because it had hardcore descriptions. Also it told things like they were. Finally the book was action packed with some slow parts.

This book helped me make sense of the world by showing me the problems with war. Also the price the Americans paid to be free. I think the author’s message was to show that war is horrible and most do not know that. I personally learned that before I join the Army I should think about the risks.

Dear Dayna,

“And then there were none” By Agatha Christie, is a story about ten strangers who were summoned as weekend guests to a private island called Indian island off the coast of Devon. After the guests arrive they mysteriously start dying. They start dying day after day as in the same manner of the Ten Little Indians poem. Soon the guests are suspicious of each other. The guests are watching each others every move and every step……..And then there were none.

I liked the book because it was very suspenseful. My eyes were glued to the words as pages went on and on waiting for the grand event to happen. I liked the way the author held my attention. My partner should read this book because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt full of suspense trying to figure out the mystery. I noticed how the author was very descriptive and used lots of detail. It helped me picture the setting.” She had pictured it differently, close to shore with a beautiful white house. But there was no house visible, only the boldly silhouetted rock with a faint resemblance to a giant Indians head.”

I would rate the book a seven because I liked the suspense but it was a little too scary. The note at the end left me with chills running down my spine.

Reading this story helps me realize that there are mysteries out there like that. I feel it helped me be aware of those situations, because I don’t want to be in a situation of life or death. The authors message is to understand what you are getting into and know how to take care of the situation. I learned that some people seem trustworthy but some really aren’t. That is why there were tem and then there were none.

Dear Adrian,

The book I read was Montomorency by Eleanor Updale. A summary of the book Montmorency is that a thief is badly injured and a doctor nurses him back to health. After that the thief is released from prison and at that point he faces a dilemma, who shall he be? What shall he name himself? Read to find out.

I liked this book because of the main character Montmorency’s double identities. You should read this book because you can’t wait to turn the page. The author puts detail in her writing; a quote from the book is “the stare of contempt burning into his back was as strong as any of the looks of love that afflicted Montmorency.”

I would give this book a 9-10 because it had good detail but it was a little short.

This book helped me make better sense of the world by telling me how hard it is to have two identities. The author’s message is you can always start your life over. I personally learned that on 1785 the sewers of London were built.

Dear Sara,
Wow, what a book. Soul surfer by: Bethany Hamilton is so emotional with a really big impact on her life. Soul surfer is about a 14 year old, Bethany who is a surfer in Hawaii, trying to go pro. When one day Alana her friend and her go out surfing when the waves were dead. They just lay out on their boards and relaxed in the water, out of no where a shark attacked Bethany. Living with only one arm would soon change her life forever.

I liked the book because it was interesting to read how she didn’t think loosing an arm was a big deal. She just had to learn to only use one hand, which it really didn’t matter she was ok with it. She didn’t let the attack slow her down, you should read this book because I think you could learn that just because something awful happens doesn’t mean you should give up on your dreams just use that to make you stronger. I like how she wrote her biography because she talks about her beliefs, her feelings before and after the attack, and how she never gave up, how the attack pushed her to achieve her goal. I like how one of her friends encouraged her when she was in the hospital,” a lot of things had to have gone right for her to make it to this point. She’s got everything going for her”. To me it makes me feel like there is a chance for a miracle to happen, in anyway.

I rated this book a 10 because I just thought that this book was amazing. She wrote about all different thoughts and techniques to get through the beginning with out an arm. She proved to be a hero and a believer. She never really showed me if there was any problem with her new life. But that she would live through it as if nothing happened. This attack made her want to live to achieve her dreams.

This book helped make sense of the world because she taught me that bad things happen for a reason but it’s your job to make them better. Also, that this really happened she didn’t make it up to have the courage to right about something like that is impressive. The author’s message was to live as if nothing bad happens. Believe in faith to help you through hard times, and that you can grow through a terrible time and still do what you were meant to do in different way, never stop trying. I personally learned that you should go for your dreams and if something happens along the way let that be your reason to push yourself harder.

Dear Kaylee,

The title of my book is called The Secret life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. The beginning of this book starts with a 14 year old girl named Lily Owens life story: when Lily was four her mother was cleaning out the closet. T-Ray [Lilys father] Walked in and they started fighting. Her mother pulled out a gun. But lily, wanting no one to get shot, took the gun out of her mothers hand and accidentally shot her. Now in the story Lily is fourteen years old and lives with her black maid and her father. Then a few chapters into the story Lilys black maid and Lily walk into town, so that Lilys maid can vote. On there way to the voting booths three white men start harassing the black maid. So she pours spit form her spit juice on there shoes and they beat her up, really bad. Then she goes to jail for assault. Later Lilys dad picks her up from the jail and takes her home, when they get home he tells her that her mother was just coming back home to get her things and then she was going to leave. Lily thinks that her father was lying to her and so she decided that she was going to runaway with her black maid. That’s exactly what happens. You’ll just have to read the book to find out what happens next!

I liked this book because it had a feeling of realism. Like some of the language; at that time it’s what people called black people. It also wasn’t always jolly, kind of how life really is. [Just so you know there’s a lot of cussing and racist language in the book.] I think that you should read this book because I think that you’ll learn to respect someone of a different color, because it was well written, and because the author created strong minded characters. While analyzing the authors writing I noticed that she makes everything flow smoothly from one page to another. I also noticed that she created a strong character. Example: “… I wrote a note, short and to the point: “Dear T-Ray, don’t bother looking for me, Lily. P.S. People who tell lies like you should rot in hell.” Wowza, I would never tell my dad that!

I would rate this book a 10 because the author created strong characters, made an excellent plot, and made you feel like you where Lily. Also because she made everything flow, making the book very easy to understand. But in no way is it a child’s book!

The story helped me make sense of the world because it showed me that if you respect someone you’ll usually get what you want. I think the authors massage was that just because someone tells you something doesn’t mean you should believe them. Personally I learned everything I already knew, like how to respect ALL people no matter there skin color, and to be grateful for what you have.

Yours truly,
Sara

Dear Kaylia,

I read the book Shattered by Paul Langan. This book is about a girl named Darcy; she is having some family troubles. Her mom is pregnant and her dad is working two jobs just to make enough money for the family. Darcy’s boyfriend Hakeem is coming back from the place he went over the summer. The girl that Hakeem supposedly kissed over the summer came back too and now there is trouble. Will Darcy’s trouble ever come to an end?

I really liked this book because it had good detail and an organized plot because the book didn’t skip around from person to person and it was easy to understand. I think you should read this book if you like books about drama because there is a lot of drama in this book. This book had an even amount of dialogue and description. “Girl, Where you at?” Darcy Wills winced at the voice blaring from her new cell phone. See there is both dialogue and description in the first paragraph.

I give this book 9.5 out of 10 because as I said before it had really good detail and a good plot. Also, because the plot was organized and easy to understand.

This book helped me make sense of the world by teaching me that sometimes you need to stay out of your parents business about money because Darcy didn’t do that and things just got worse. I think that the authors message is that when things get tough don’t break down because when things got tough for Darcy she didn’t just break down and cry. I personally learned never to get in other peoples business.

Sincerely,
Haylie
