Book Review: Anne of Green Gables

August 13th, 2010

Anne of Green Gables is one of my new favorite books. My favorite character was Diana, Anne’s best friend.  She’s my favorite because she was a really good friend, like my friend Mary.   This book was about an orphan girl who was given to the Cuthberts, who were hoping for a boy. Anne had a big imagination and imagined her red hair was black, her name was Cordelia and much more. I love how she wanted to be a teacher (like me) and that she had a big imagination.  My favorite part was when Anne first met Diana.  I want you to read it because it is such a good story.

My Dance Party Sleepover

August 7th, 2010

I had a sleepover for my 11th birthday. My friends Mary, Julia, and Hannah came (though Hannah didn’t stay). There was a chocolate cake and pink frosted cupcakes. We played Just Dance on the Wii and danced to fun cds. My favorite was watching Annie. We stayed up till four! That was on of the best birthdays ever! And the next day (Aug. 6, my real birthday) my Dada gave me a lap top!  That was the best birthday ever.

The Sea Monster of Cloudy Lake

Cloudy Lake was a famous lake that sat on the edge of Fisher Town. It was called Cloudy Lake because the lake was very dense and hard to see through. Thomas and his father liked going down to Cloudy Lake in the morning and catch a fish for supper.

One morning, a Sea Monster swimming in the ocean was swept away by a big wind. He ended up in Cloudy Lake. He called for help but all the other Sea Monsters were in the ocean.

That same morning Thomas and his father went to the lake to fish. Thomas had never seen a Sea Monster before. Neither had his father, and he went fishing in the ocean every May! The Sea Monster had never seen a person, even when the fishing boats passed his part of the sea! He was scared when the two hooks landed in the water. But the hooks had tasty looking worms on them. He ate up Fathers fast but grabbed on to Thomas’s hook.

“I got a big one Daddy!” Thomas exclaimed. The Sea Monster was very heavy and Thomas couldn’t reel him in. His father couldn’t either and then, its tail caught on the other hook! They both pulled with all their might but the Sea Monster was too heavy! Then the Sea Monster felt the tugging and pulled himself out of the water. “AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!” They all screamed. Father ran away and the Sea Monster ducked back under the water. Thomas started to follow his father when he heard a loud whine. The monster was back with ten large wiggly trout.

“Thank you!” Thomas exclaimed. Then he saw his line moving, he had a bite! Thomas pulled on the line and found a big salmon.

“Father! Father!” Thomas cried out. The man ran very fast and stopped in front of the heap of fish.

“Where did these come from?” He asked his excited son.

“The monster did it!” Thomas said. The Sea Monster let out a huge roar of joy. Thomas and his father went to the town to tell about the Sea Monster. Everyone ran to Cloudy Lake and watched the Sea Monster throw fish to the people.

The Sea Monster was happy living there and became known as the Sea Monster of Cloudy Lake. Fisher Town ate fish every day and loved coming to the Sea Monster for food. They called him Catcher. And when Thomas grew up his children played with Catcher every day.

The End

Book Review: Through the Looking Glass

June 26th, 2010

This is the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It begins when Alice imagines a place she calls Looking-Glass House. Suddenly she really is there. Then she meets the Red Queen and is invited to play as a white pawn in a giant game of chess. My favorite part was meeting The White Knight and hearing his inventions. This is a good fantasy story that everyone should read.

Book Review: The School Story

June 14th, 2010

This book is about a girl named Natalie who wrote a book that her best friend Zoe said was good enough to be published. Natalie’s mother is an editor for a publishing company called Shipley Junior Books. Natalie wants her mom to publish it without her knowing it was her.  I learned a lot about book publishing and know now that I need an agent to get a book published. Did you know that if you send a publisher a story without an agent it will be added to a pile called the slush pile. That means your story may not be read for ages. I liked Natalie and I want to be like her because I love writing. I think that anyone who wants to be an author should read this book.

Book Review: The Royal Diaries series Elizabeth I

June 8th, 2010

This is a very good book that is the fictional diary of Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII, when she was a child. This book begins when Elizabeth was banished from court because she sang a song that didn’t please the king. Throughout most of this novel she wants to have love from her father. I think that it must have being hard for Elizabeth to have Henry VIII as her father. Elizabeth does have a very good friend named Robin who is the perfect friend for her although she wouldn’t want to marry him. This book was pretty good and I think others should read it.
