One of my passions in life is to help young adults learn to love to read independently. I know not everyone loves to read, as a matter of fact, many young people actually would prefer to do something other than read a book... like say, take a bike ride, play a video game, drive slivers underneath their fingernails… you get the picture. Reading does not have to be torture. As a matter of fact, finding a good book that you connect to can be one of the most enjoyable experiences imaginable. Yes, it’s true… reading *can* be fun!

Your first blog assignment is to reply to this post. Tell me what the top three books you’ve read in the past year are. Why are these books your favorite? List the titles and authors of the three books you’ve loved and please avoid using books from the same series.

**Hint: I'm looking for a four paragraph response-
Two sentence opening: How do you feel about reading? List three books you have enjoyed and the author’s names in a complete sentence.
Write one brief paragraph per book- describe what the book was about in one sentence. In another sentence, explain what you liked about the book.
Write an at least one-sentence closing.

It was so hard to choose my top three favorite books, but I finally decided to go with Wings of Fire: Poison Jungle, Five Kingdoms, and Michael Vey. I LOVE reading I think it’s so much fun. I chose Wings of Fire: Poison Jungle by Tui T Sutherland because I love dragons and this book is all about dragons. I hope you read this book.
My next favorite is Five Kingdoms: Death Weavers because I love fantasy books. This fantasy book was so cool. It's about a couple of kids that get taken from Earth to a new world called Outskirts. Outskirts is separated into five kingdoms for the five princesses, and each kingdom has a different type of magic.
My third favorite has to be Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25. It's a very cool and fun book for sure, this book you NEED to read just as much as the others, but let's get to the point, this book is about people with special magic powers. The main character has electric powers he can shock people and throw electric balls that shock whoever/whatever they touch. I hope you read these books, once again I love reading!

I’m not really much of a reader. But my three favorite books are Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, and Middle School The Worst Years of my Life by Chris Tebbetts.

Tom Sawyer is about a young boy who goes on amazing adventures with his friends.

Number the Stars is about a young girl who tries to survive World War 3.

Middle School The Worst Years of my Life is about a boy who tries to break every rule there was.

I like them all but my favorite is Middle School because it’s funny and thrilling at the same time.

I’m not a very big fan of reading but here are three of my favorite books that I have read.

One of my favorite books is Holes by Louis Sachar what I liked was the main character is Stanley Yelnats he was innocent for a crime that he didn’t commit so he went to a place called Camp Green Lake. He had the choice of Camp Green Lake or jail he picked he picked Camp Green Lake because the name. He rode a bus there but when he got there it wasn’t exactly what he thought.

Also, one of my all time favorites is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Meltdown by Jeff Kinney I liked the main characters their names are Greg and Rowley they are best friends. This story is set in winter, school is canceled because of the snow. So Greg imagines what the world would be like if everything had technology. When the weather gets better they go back to school and a lot of the kids are spitting because of how cold it was their spit was freezing and Greg was trying to not get spit on.

Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is one of my favorites, I love it. It's about a family that drinks some water in the forest and they become immortal the family’s names are Mae Tuck, Angus Tuck are the parents of Jesse Tuck and Miles Tuck. They meet a girl named Winnie Foster after a couple minutes after they talk they become friends and Winnie has a crush on Jesse. Angus tried to die and it didn’t work because he was immortal.

Reading isn't my favorite thing to do I would rather do something else but there are a few books that I do like to read,
One of the books that I like is called The Magic Misfits By Neil Patrick Harris, I really like this book because it is very intense and has lots of action in it. It is basically about A boy whose parents were magicians but his father went away and never came back and later his mother died , so he goes to live with his uncle witch is also a magician accept he uses his talent to steal things from people because he is poor and doesn't have a home I love this

The next book that I like is a graphic novel It is called Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm and Mathew Holm. Sunny Side Up is about a girl who goes to her grandfthers for Summer vacation and she is very excited to , accept when she gets there, she is not happy because her grandfather lives in a nursing home and there is no kids there to play with. BUt when she is out one day she meets a boy and they become friends who love to read superhero novels and they catch old people's pets for money. But while she is on vacation she keeps having flashbacks about her brother doing bad things. The book is very interesting and great to read .

The last book that I loved reading is Wonder. Wonder is about a boy named Auggie who has had lots of surgeries and his face is kind of deformed but that's ok, in the book auggie goes to public school for the first time after his mom had been homeschooling him his whole life. When Auggie goes to school he notices that many people are staring at him and he feels uncomfortable but he says he is used to it. He sees the people he toured the school with and says hi every once and awhile . Basically his school year is rough at the beginning but eventually it gets better and he starts to make some friends but one of his friends kind of turns on him and it turns into a fight but it all gets solved in the end.

I love reading as a past time.My favorite books include, The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling,The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate Dicamillo and The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket

I really love The Harry Potter Series because of the adventure of Harry going to a wizard school and learning secrets in Hogwarts and making friends along the way.He was a famous wizard and witch’s sone and is on a quest to defeat the wizard that killed his parents. He finds so many secrets and is on an adventure with his friends while dealing with his abusive aunt and uncle.

The Miraculous of Edward Tulane is my favorite book of all time and it puts you into the perspective of a porcelain bunny who goes on a journey.He first was in the hands of a little girl then in the ocean,with a lady, the dump,the hands of a sick and poor girl,then finally the hands of the doll fixer and is in the shop when the girl he was with in the start came in and found him again.

The Series of Unfortunate Events is an OK series but i like how the scary adventure goes on and keeps getting scarier than before, the story is about the mischievous schemes of their evil uncle who wants their rich fortune.Their uncle kills many loved ones just to get to their fortune.

I really love reading and finding new and interesting books! I really hope other people can get interested in books too.

I really like reading i love horror books. I can not remember the name of this book but it was amazing it was about a girl who moved out of the city into the woods and her grandma was a little crazy the grandma had 3 rules 1.never go out at night 2.when she calls you don't answer and 3.never ever leave the windows open at night at least i think that was the rules.

Another one is bridge to terabithia by Katherine Paterson
i love bridge to terabithia i read it for a class project and it was amazing! Bridge to terabithia is about a girl and a boy who have lots of imagination and the have a rope swing above a river and they swing on it to get to terabithia.

My last one is girl stolen by april henry girl stolen is about a blind girl who gets kidnapped and the kidnapper didn’t mean too kidnap her she was sleeping in the back of the car her step mom went into the store and she left the keys in the car so the heater was on for cheyenne the girl then the guy got in and drove away i wont tell the rest I don't want to spoil it. I really love these books! I recommend them.

I don’t really like reading. I will do it if i have to. I do like books like, Series of unfortunate events. I like books where you have to look for clues and solve puzzles. The main characters are Violet, Karlose and Sunny. Violet, Karlose and Sunny lost their parents in a fire and have to live with their uncle, Count Olaf. He is trying to steal the Baudelaire's money that their parents left them. Baudelaire is Violet’s, Karlose, and Sunny’s last name. I like all the books,i’m sorry that is only my favorite series right now. Have a nice day!

I do not read as much as I should. It tends to take up a lot of time and I really don’t get transported to new places like everyone says you do. For some reason it just never really happens for me. I have read three books that have really knocked my socks off. The first book is Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. The second book is the Wild Robot, by Peter Brown and the third book is Holes, by Louis Sachar. The Percy Jackson book is about adventure and mythical creatures. Percy is a demigod, the son of Poseidon. Poseidon is a water god who looks out for Percy when he goes on dangerous journeys. He also stays at camp Half Blood that is were all of the young demigods go because they are not safe in the real world.
Wild Robot is an amazing book with a lot of cool twists. It is about a robot getting stuck on an island with a whole bunch of animals. The robot's name is Roz and she helps the animals stay alive, but at the end of the book other robots try to get her off the island by shutting her down. The animals have to let her go in the end or more robots will come for her and destroy the whole island.
Holes is a book about a couple of boys who get in trouble with the law. They end up with two options, go to jail or go to this (summer camp) in the desert. The warden wants to find something that was buried. So as a punishment they would make the boys dig holes. Every day they would have to dig a hole that was as deep as their shovel and as wide. They were only given one canteen of water a day. The book takes place in the scorching hot desert.
These are definitely my three favorite books. They all have action and suspense and are kind of a little scary. Problem solving and life lessons take place as well. In my opinion all of these books are great ones, but honestly I’d rather be on the court playing basketball then reading.

I love reading a lot so deciding a book is very difficult.
But one of my favorites is Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire by JK. Rowling. Harry Potter is about a boy that got put into the Tri-wizard Tournament without putting his name in the Goblet Of Fire. Harry must win to survive by passing three tests. One of the tests is to steal a golden egg from a dragon. The next test is he has to rescue someone from underwater monsters he only has one hour. The last test is a maze with deadly monsters in it.

The second book I love and it is by Tui T. Sutherland is Wings Of Fire The Dragonet Prophecy. The book is about five dragonets that have to fulfill a prophecy and are being trained and hidden under a mountain in the Queens territories. The prophecy is that the five dragonets end the war that is raging in the dragon world. There is no dragon that would not want to get there claws on the dragonets. The Queen captures the dragonets when they escaped the mountain. The dragonets were taken away from their nests and were taken to the cave under the mountain. After a long period of time fighting for there life at the Queens palace fighting other dragons. The dragons had to kill or be killed. The five dragonets escaped the Queen of Skywings and live in the wild instead of in a mountain.
The third book is called Old Yeller and is by Fred Gipson. The book is about a young man that is given a dog. The dog becomes his best friend. The boy went on hunting trips with the dog even. One day there is a mother bear and the dog killed it so that it would not kill the young man’s mother. That is how the man and the dog really become friends. The man who gave him the dog warned him that there was a disease that would make the dog go crazy and kill other animals. If the dog got it he would have to shoot it. The young boy understood but while the young man was outside a wolf came… it was acting really weird. All of a sudden it attacked and the dog killed it. The dog got the disease when he was bitten by the wolf. In the end, the man had to shoot his best friend.

My thoughts about reading are. It is not my favorite I don't like to read and I barely read.
One of my favorite books are old yeller by Fred Gipson why i like old yeller is because
One of the characters Travis is in charge of the home with his mom and little brother and
Travis little brother fined a dog and take care of it but travis never liked the dog.but at the
End it is his favorite dog and he ends up having to shoot him.
My second favorite book is pippi longstockings by Astrid Lindgren.Why it is one of my favorites is because it is so funny and silly and she always gets things mixed up she lives by herself and is always causing trouble.My third favorite book is dork diaries by Rachel Renée Russel why it is one of my favourite is because of all the drama what happens in the book is there is a girl that indiris herself all the time and keeps getting in drama at school. Those are some of my favorite books that are my favorite.

I like reading books that I enjoy. The books that I enjoy are Diary of a Wimpy Kid Long Haul, byJeff Kinney. The next book I read was Smile, the author was Raina Telgemeier. The third book I read was Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Long Haul was about a middle schooler who had bad luck. He went on vacation with all his family with him crammed in the back seat. I love this book because it has funny humor, and Greg Hefly has such bad luck.

The next book I read was Smile. Smile is about a girl who knocks her front teeth out, and she goes through middle school with fake teeth and friends who make fun of her. I like this book because it is a true story and she is brave and tries to ignore her mean friends.

The last book I read was Dinosaurs Before Dark. It is about a brother and sister who find a tree house with magic books. They open a dinosaur book and go to the time of the dinosaurs.I love this book because it is very adventure and fun.

I love reading books that I enjoy, that are scary, sad, adventures and fun.

I love reading so,it was very hard to choose.
Here are three books that are at the top of my favorites list. 1. Kingdom Keepers:Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson,2. Diary of a Wimpy Kid:The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney,3. Teen Titans: Beast Boy Who Cried Wolf by J.Torres.

Kingdom Keepers is about 5 Kids that turn into holograms when they go to bed. The 5 high school kids meet up in the Magic Kingdom as holograms where the Disney Villains aka The Overtakers are trying to take over the disney parks.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is about Greg Heffley and his family going on a road trip across the country. While there on choose your own adventure trip there trying to make it to there grandmother's birthday.

Teen Titans: Beast Boy Who Cried Wolf is about Beast Boy who kept lying or pranking his friends the Teen Titans. Just like the boy who cried wolf the Titans lost trust in Beast Boy and when he needed them most they didn’t come.

I don’t Mind to read I will only read if I half to. I enjoy reading these three books they are Dog Diaries by James patterson, Diary of a Wimpy kid by jeff kennyI also like to read Holes by Louis Sachar

Dog Diaries I like this book because the dog explains the book he gets in a fight. He runs away he gets taken by the pound because he is a mutt the owner that had him went looking for him at the pound when he came in he was getting there he got bought by another person and talked to the person. Later he saw the person when her was walking the person did not like the dog so he gave the dog back to him

Diary of a wimpy kid I like this book because it is like a novel, novels are my favorite kinds of books. In the books greg is the main character. He always kid of make a problem and they fix it at the end of the book.

Holes Is a good book because in the beginning he gets in trouble and has to go to boot camp and digs holes there is poisonous lizards he makes a friend and his friend runs away later he runs after him they are gone for a few days then they come back and he gets to go home with his friend.

Now you can see reading is ok for me!

I enjoy books if there the right book for me. If not I really dislike reading.one of my top three favorite books are Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Greg Kenny another book that I enjoy is Holes by Louis Sachar. The last book that I enjoyed was crossover by kwame alexander.

I enjoyd Diary of a Wimpy Kid by greg kenny because its a series and I enjoy series because you can read a lot of books like the one you read and if you liked that book than that would fun to read some more.I also like the series because it's like a real life situation and it's kinda like my life because I have a little brother.It's also a funny series which I like. The last thing that I liked about the series is that it doesn't have like flying dragons and stuff like that.

I also enjoyed holes by louis sachar because it's like an adventure book but not to much were its unrealistic. I also liked the book holes because it's kinda funny which I like. The book is also has a movie to it which is kinda fun to see both and their differences.The book holes is just all around not to unrealistic and funny and is just a great book.

One of my favorite books is also crossover. I like it because it's a realistic fiction and I love those types of books. I also have some connections because I play basketball and the book is about basketball so that is kinda cool. The book is also super funny and can teach you some lessons as well.

As u can see I liked these three books. And I like not love reading.

I love reading, and I do it a lot for fun. I have lots of favorite books, but here are three. One of my favorite books is part of a series. The series is called Warriors by Erin Hunter. Another book is Destined for Dune by Corp Carey Langdon Lorie. The third book is called Flora and Ulysses by Debra J. Housel.

Warriors is a large series made up of mini series that each star a different cat that has to complete a quest. The first cat is a housecat that lives near the woods. His name is Rusty. He has a dream over and over of almost catching a mouse in the woods and right before he catches it he wakes up. Eventually, he has enough courage to go see the woods. He meets some wild cats who attack him, and when he fights back well they offer to let him join their clan. He goes back home to think and decides to do it. He becomes their leader after a long time.
His quest was to save the forest from an evil cat who was trying to take over all the clans.
I liked it because I love animals, and it was an adventure book.

Destined for Dune is a book about two 18-year-old girls who meet imaginary Scottish boys, who they discover are visions of boys in a secret Scottish kingdom called Dune. Together, they have to stop a dangerous plant created by a witch and keep it from taking over the kingdom. It is a very good book, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure or action.

Flora and Ulysses is about a cynical girl (a cynic is a person who questions things and is a disbeliever) and a squirrel who gets sucked up by a vacuum. The squirrel turns out to have super-powers. He is very strong, can fly, and types poems. Even though Flora’s mother does not like Ulysses, and in fact tries to kidnap him, he helps Flora and her mom reconnect. I liked it because it isn’t everyday that a squirrel gets sucked up by a vacuum and has superpowers.

I think these are very good books and many people would enjoy them, especially people who like animals and adventure.

I am not that good at reading I just read slow but I was good at doing the AR thing because I remember well. I am pretty confident in remembering but in actually reading I don’t feel that confident. The Crossover by Kwame Alexander, Not So Normal Norbert by James Patterson and Trapped In A Video Game by Dustin Brady.

The Crossover is about twins who love basketball and there dad played professionally in Italy. The twins play basketball every day and they are really good and they're friends and them play around all the time and roast each other. Then one day one of the twins got a girlfriend and the other one felt left out because he would always hang out with his girlfriend. Then they went to play basketball one day and the dad had a heart attack and died from it.

Not so Normal Norbert was about a boy that lives in an odd town with his aunt and uncle and one day he had to go to jail which is in space because he does something apparently rude, then he meets friends up in space and likes them they have fun while in jail. But one day he got sick of it and escaped from the jail and flew a spaceship back to home.

Trapped In A Video Game is about a boy and his friend and they have a kid in there class whose dad can get access to unreleased video games, so they go over to the kids house and the boy and his friend got sucked into a video game and they were trapped. So the friend and the boy were split up in the video game and they didn’t know it so eventually they found each other and one of them knew what to do and they had to beat the game to be able to leave and they went on crazy adventures fighting aliens till finally they got to the end of the game and beat it.
And that was my three favorite books that I wrote about.

I enjoy reading but I don’t love reading. Three books I have enjoyed reading has been Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen, Island of the Blue Dolphin by Scott O’Dell, One for Sorrow by Mary Downing Hanh.

Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen is about a boy who is named Bryce and a girl who is named Juliana but goes by Juli. Bryce moved into Juli’s neighborhood when they were younger. Juli fell in love with Bryce and had a huge crush on him, she always wanted to be around Bryce but Bryce thought she was annoying. Throughout the years Juli got over her crush on Bryce and found out what a different person he had turned into throughout the years. She also found out his real personality.

Island of the Blue Dolphin by Scott O’Dell is about a girl who gets left behind by her tribe. She gets stranded on the island alone for many years and she learns how to do everything by herself. Over the years explorers found her and took her to where the Europeans were. After a couple of weeks she died because of a disease that she had caught.

One for Sorrow by Mary Downing Hanh is about a girl named a girl named Annie and Elsie. When Annie entered her new school Elsie right away claimed her as her best friend. Annie didn’t want to be her best friend because she was mean, liar, and a tattletale and she would rather have different friends. After a couple of weeks Elsie catches the influenza and dies. When Elsie died Annie was happy because she didn’t have to deal with Elsie anymore but then Elsie’s ghost haunted Annie and made her do stuff that she didn’t want to do.

As you can see I really enjoy reading.

I love reading and that’s why it was so hard for me to pick three books, but my three favorite books are “Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief,” by Rick Riordan, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,” by JK Rowling, and the last one is the “Land of Stories the wishing spell,” by Chris Colfer.

What made me like that Harry Potter book was how there was this boy called Harry Potter who was treated horribly, found out that he was a wizard.So he gets sent to a school called Hogwarts where he made a lot of friends.but during their time at school they had thought that that one of their teachers was trying to evil so they figured out that he had gone to this underground part of the castle/school and gotten bitten. So they had thought that he had tried to steal something called the Sorcerer's stone. But what they didn't know was that he was actually trying to protect from one of the teachers that was actually evil, so he was half him half Voldemort who was one of the most dangerous wizards alive so they went down the basement and stopped Voldemort from getting the Sorcerer's Stone. I especially like that his friends Hermione, Ron, and Harry get through many of the problems they had during their time there by using their brain and figuring out how to solve problems with what they had and what they Knew. That is what made me love this book.

What made me love the “Lightning Thief” is how there was a kid called Percy Jackson that would go to schools for kids with special needs, because he had Dyslexia. But he would not stay in the same school for long because he would end up in trouble and get expelled. The reason he had Dyslexia was because he was actually a Greek demigod of Poseidon. So he gets sent to a camp for demigods where he can train to protect himself from monsters. My favorite part of this book was when Percy went on a quest with Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood to go bring back Zeuse’s lightning rods from the person who stole them. As you can see, this is what made this book one of my favorites.

Finally, my last favorite book was “The Land Of Stories, The Wishing Spell” By Chris Colfer. What made me love that book was how these two twin kids called Alex and Conner had recently lost their dad to a car accident, so they were going through a rough time. So on their twelfth birthday their grandma makes an unexpected arrival because the twin’s mom had to be at work and could not celebrate so she asked their grandma if she could come. One of the presents that their grandma gives them is the book of fairy tales that they used to read as a family. Then they find out the book is magic and they accidentally fell into a fairy tale book. So to find their way out they have to find some objects throughout the fairy tale land to make something called a wishing spell to get back home. My main reason for liking this book was that it was an adventure book as much as it is also a fairy tale book where they join all the fairy tale stories into one big story. So now you can see why this is one of my most favorite books.

Well now that I have told you my reasons for liking those books, I hope that it has encouraged you to read them too.

I have always liked reading and looking at books and predicting and what would happen next. The three books that I liked and read where,On the fence by Kasie West. this book is about a girl that grew up without a mom and was raised to do sports until she got a new job and fell in love with her brothers best friend. I love this book because it has a lot of meaning and it's easy to get hooked on and i think that is how books should be.
The second book that I got hooked on was, The land of unforgotten girls, by Erin Entraba Kelly, this book is about a girl and her sister. They both had there father leave and at a very young age there mom had passed away. The girl had to deal with so many things by using there imagination and making king, new friends. I like this book because it shows me how to use your imagination and that you should not be afraid to tell someone how you feel.
The last book that I chose is the book that I am reading right now is called The heartbreakers, by Ali Novak. This book is about a girl and that falls in love with a boy Oliver Perry, Oliver which is in a band. As she falls in love with him she is confused on how she might be able to live with just text and call.
In conclusion those were the three book that I like the most.

I like reading but I'd rather do other things, unless it’s a book I like because they entertain me and I won’t get bored and want to do something else. Three of my favorite books are The Warriors Series, Diary of a Wimpy kid, and The Boy who Harnessed the Wind.

The Warriors Series is about a Cat named Rusty who joins a wild cat clan in the forest called Thunderclan. There are four clans in the forest, they each have their own land. The four clans are Thunderclan, Riverclan, Windclan, and Shadowclan. Rusty then joins Thunderclan and is now named Firepaw, Once he finishes his training to become a warrior his name is changed to Fireheart. I recommend you read this series if you want a sometimes intense and sometimes peaceful book.

Diary of a Wimpy kid is about a boy named Greg, Greg is in middle school and has a Friend named Rowley the book is about what he does in middle school with Rowley. Greg has a big brother and a little brother, his big brother’s name is Rodrick and his little brother’s name is Manny on one of the books they go on Vacation on christmas day and go to a hotel that has a “Wild side” the Wild side only lets people 18 and over onto that side so parents can get away from their kids to have some peaceful time. Greg wants to go over there but he can’t. If you want a funny and very entertaining book you should try reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

My third favorite book is The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, I like this book because it's very inspiring and makes me want to do what he does in the book. The book is about a boy who lives in Africa and is trying to get good grades to go to a good school, he is also trying to get money to buy food. He went into a library and picked out a book about electricity, he begins to study it and gather parts make a windmill to provide electricity to his families house. The other boys thought he was crazy because he was looking in the scrapyard to find parts for the windmill. He eventually finds all the parts and builds the windmill. The people thought he was crazy, that was until he hooked it up to a light and it worked! This story is very inspiring and I think you should read it.

These are my three favorite books that I read a lot at night. They are Percy Jackson, Magnus Chase, and Ghost.

Percy Jackson is a boy who can see Ancient writing when he sees normal writing. His friend, also known as his bodyguard, is half goat half human. Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon, the god of water. They made it to the camp but there was this half giant goat half Rhino that stole Percy Jackson’s mother because she could not go through the barrier.

Magnus Chase is about a bore boy how found out that his father is the Norse god. His dad’s boat crash. He lost a very special sword which was the sword of summer. Magnus found it by reaching out and a giant hand appeared and he poles a rusty sword which was broken. Then a giant exploded happened right by them so he went outside and he saw the black one. He used the sword he got to fight him. Although they both died.

Ghost is about a kid who is a really good at running. His 1st time doing it he could not afford to get onto a running team so he kept going to the training. Then he decided to race the fastest kid there but not on the track. He beat the fastest person there by a little bit. Then he joined the track team for free and he made a couple of friends.

Those were the things about the three books that I loved.

I like to read, but when someone is forcing me to read a certain book, that’s when I start not liking to read. But when I start a book that I really like, I get into it and I read for hours!
Top 3 of my favorite books that I’ve ever read are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Sisters, and Auggie and Me.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is about a boy named Harry who’s parents had died and had to live with his, not so nice, Aunt and Uncle. He also had a cousin named Dudly. One morning he kept getting a bunch of mysterious letters mentioning that he had gotten into Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. On the way to school, he meets some life long friends.
Sisters is about a girl named Raina who has a little sister named Amara. They don’t get along all the time but learn to love each other while on a road trip from San Francisco to Utah. But when they get to Utah, they realize that their cousins have changed and now they have to depend on each other to get through their trip.
Auggie and Me is the sequel to Wonder. I really liked Auggie and Me because it talked about all the characters backgrounds and talks in their perspective. My favorite part was when it was Jullians perspective and when he was with his Grandma. It made me realize that everybody has a background and has a reason why they act the way they do.
I like to read a lot. But it just has to be a book that I enjoy.

My three favorite books are Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Diary of a Minecraft Zombie, and Pokemon X and Y. These books are my favorite because they are mysterious, adventurous, and interesting. I think Percy Jackson is interesting because of the myths and the story. Diary of a Minecraft Zombie is adventurous because of his life. Pokemon X And Y is mysterious because of the Pokemon and the people.

Kingdom of Fantasy is about Geronimo Stilton going on adventures in the Kingdom of Fantasy as a mouse with his friend Skribble Hopper. and I love Wish Tree by, Katherine Applegate. Wish Tree is about two kids saving the life of a tree. I also love Crenshaw by, Katherine Applegate. Crenshaw is about an imagenary friend trying to do his part in life.

I do not like reading but sometimes it is fun because it can take my mind off of things. My first favorite book is Diary Of A Kid The Melt Down by Jeff kinney. My second favorite book is Wonder by R.J. Palcio. And my last favorite book is Weslandia by Paul Fleischman.

The Melt Down was about a kid on winter break and he was having a great time but then his mom asked him to go outside and play in the snow, which he hated. I like the humor in this book because it made me have belly giggles.

Wonder was a book about a kid that got 26 surgeries and was homeschooled but his first year of middle school was crazy. I like this book because I can relate to auggie having a big sister that thinks I am the angel.

Weslandia was a good book because he makes his own village with this flower. I like it because we are doing a school project on it.

These are my favorite books, what are yours?

I like reading but It’s not my favorite if I don’t have a good book.Reading is fun but only if I have a good book.The first book I enjoyed was Sisters by Raina Telgemeier I also really liked The Melt Down by Jeff Kinney The Last book I really enjoyed was Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne.

The book Sisters is about where this girl named raina and her family go on a summer road trip from San Francisco to colorado and explores the relationship between her and her sister Amara.

The second book is The Melt Down and this book is about where snow shuts down Greg’s middle school and his neighborhood transforms into a wintery battlefield.Rival groups fight over territory,build massive snow forts,and stage epic snowball fights.

The book Dinosaurs Before Dark is about two siblings Jack and Annie going into the woods by their home in Frog Creek.While they were walking they came across a huge tree house with books in it.Jack opened up a book with dinosaurs in it he wished to see a pteranodon the tree house takes them back in time when the dinosaurs were alive.

I like reading sometimes but I don't like it most of the time because I think I'm not that good at Reading and sometimes it frustrates me because i'm not that great at reading in my head.

Reading is cool. If it is a good book then you have fun and you're learning. The three books that I have read recently are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K.Rowling, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick rules, I Survived The Joplin Tornado, 2011.
Harry Potter starts out with Harry getting put on the doorstep of a muggle house that harry lives at for 11 years. Then he figures out that he is a wizard on his 11th birthday. Harry gets sent to Hogwarts and makes 2 friends. The 3 of them got into trouble a lot so they lost a lot of points for their house. Finally they went through this cave thing got the sorcerer’s stone. It's a cool book because it has mysteries in it
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules starts out with Rodrick being rude to Greg. In the middle he acts like he’s boss. Finally they get along and like each other. That one's cool because it is funny
First of all the tornado starts and the group of kids had to escape the tornado. I like dex the most because he is cool. this one's cool because it's based off of a true story
As you can see, I don’t like to read for a long time but I don’t mind reading.

I love his books he is a good author my favorite books are Jeff Kinney's book series his books are mostly about his life when he's at school,going to a family vacation,it also talks about what's going on with his family,what I like about his books are that its about his life they make me read them I love his books he makes them interesting his family is kinda like mine,his books sometimes make me laugh,I read all the books he's made can't wait for the next one see how that one goes

Weslandia was about a kid that made a type of plant in his backyard he would get bullied everyone had the same house kinda weird but okay he would make stuff out of the plant like clothes and he would sell it and when school started he had so many friends following him and that was it the book was pretty good.

The one and only Ivan was about a gorilla named Ivan he was at a mall.I don't really remember too much about the story but it was pretty sad and i loved the book one of my favorites.

Someone I would pick to be president is my dad Dustin. I picked my dad because he is smart, wise, and he is a lawyer. I think he would make a pretty good president because when it comes to work, my dad is serious. The virtues my dad has are trustworthiness- count on you to do your best, keep your word and to follow through. The next virtue is respect- speaking and acting with courtesy. The last virtue is prayerfulness- a relationship of faith gratitude and power.
