Chapter 1 Aug. 28

The children the the story, Philip Hall Likes Me, I Reckon Maybe, tease each other often. The boys tease Philip about liking girls. Philip teases Beth by telling her the bus is coming. Are there times when teasing is all right? When does it go too far? Did it go too far in this story?

Mrs. Bowin's Favorite Book

One of my favorite books has to be "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin. I really enjoy reading mysteries, and this is one that has a real twist at the end! The story includes many characters who have to work together to try to inherit a large sum of money. The person who can figure out all of the clues first is the winner, but what they have to figure out keeps all of the characters (and the reader) guessing until the very end! Another reason that I enjoyed this book is because it includes a variety of characters, from kids to elderly people, Chinese, black, and white people, married and single people, and people who have no job to those that have very high-paying jobs. It shows that your mind will do greater things for you than anything else in life.

Cordel's favorite book

My favorite book is Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It's about 2 friends (a boy and a girl) that got separated because the boy went to Pretty Town and the girl stayed in Ugly Town. At age 16 you get an operation that turns you pretty so many of the kids run away from Ugly Town so they won't have to turn pretty.
This book taught me that is doesn't matter how people look, but how they care about each other.
I would recommend this book.

Brittany's favorite Book

My favorite book is Angels Watching Over Me by Lurlene McDaniel.
This book is about A 16 year old that has leukemia and she has to stay
in the hospital. After a while she got a roommate that got bit by a
brown spider. I think that other people should read this book. I learned
that if you believe in something it will happen. I liked this book because
it was a sad book.

TAYLOR FAVORITE BOOK

My favorite book is Jelly Belly. It's about this kid that is fat. His parents send him to this fat camp to try and make him not so fat and so he can get healthier. They promise to take him to a roller coaster park if he looses a lot of weight. He and his new bunk mates are so addicted to eating they go to the kitchen and steal food. After seeing his bunk mates could lose weight when they stopped eating he motivated to quit eating too. After he goes home that he looses weight.
This story taught me that if you put your mind to it you can do it.
