Jake's book review

I am reading the Invention of Hugo Cabret. The boy is, the one person that is running the clocks at the train station. He lives in the walls of the train stashin in a small cabin. The mechanical man is found in Hugo's small cabin in the wall of boxes and I wonder how did the mechanical man get there in the first place.  The man in the toy booth saw Hugo break a toy mouse and he fixed it like no problem, he took small prices of toys so he can fix the mechanical man. I thought I could do that but I would not steel. Soon Hugo's dad died in a fire 2 days from when the train hoped the track and went in the wall and came out on the other side.  I wish I  read it again, I cant Waite for the movie                                                                                                                  by Jake

Book Review by Nadia

Dear observer,
I am reading a book called MEET ADDY.  It is about a girl who runs away with her mom so they can be free from slavery.  The characters in this book are Addy, Mom, Dad, Sam and Esther.  The setting in this book is back on the plantation and in the woods at night time.  The problems in this book are Sam [Addy’brother] and Addy’s papa were sold and when mama and Addy planned to run away they could not come and neither could Esther [baby sister] because she was too loud.  The main event in this book is in the woods when Addy was running away.  One exciting thing that happened while they were running away is while they were crossing a river there was a whirlpool and Addy’s mom got sucked up so Addy had to save her all by her self. The conclusion of the book happens when Addy and her mom find a house with a kind lady who helps them get to Philadelphia.  I did not like the book, I loved it. You would to and in fact there is a whole series of these kind of books.  The series is called AMERICAN GIRL. They are really good!

Little House on the Prarie By Molly

Dear Mrs. Moseley,

I don't know if I ever write with such great detail [as the author in my book] but I know that you do! You said I might want to read, Anne of Green Gables. What is that about?

I agree that the best books are the ones where people make mistakes and have to learn from them. There is some suspense in my story. I wouldn't say too much, but some.

I love how in my book, it is Christmas time and I love Christmas. I predict that Laura is going to get a horse for Christmas. I also predict that Valentine's day is going to come up soon in my book and Laura is going to get a lot of Valentines. This book makes me want to just read every single second and go on. I want to get more time to read it and really be a character in it.

I have read a lot in my book and watched a lot of shows on it too. My family are big fans of it and we watch the show together sometimes.

This book helped me to get more into reading and I want to read it all the time. It is very interesteing to hear all that is going on in her life. As compared to other books on people that get into trouble, this one is the best I have read, becuase I have never heard of so much craziness ever.

I agree with the author about how Christmas is the best becuase it makes me feel in the spirit. I can't wait to read the next book.

Going to my peace and quiet,
Molly
