I am reading The Hardy Boys The Mystery Of Aztec Warrior.Mr. Jonathan
moore had to give the Aztec warrior something but he died.So the Hardy boys have to find out what it is and who to give it to.
I have read some of the Hardy Boy mysteries, Justin, and you don't have to convince me that they're good! Remember, I'm Nancy Drew's biggest fan!
Keep on reading!

I finished reading “all the broken pieces” by Ann E. Burg. She makes you feel like you don’t want to stop reading. It is during the Vietnam war. She makes you feel like you are a character in the book.
I read R.L. Stine's book "The Haunted School." This book is not as scary as a horror movie, but it is creepy. It talks about two different worlds a black and gray world and a color world or real world. The class of 1947 got to the class room when the photographer took their picture then they went to the black and gray world.
Sean, it sounds like a really good book! I love books where the characters seem so real they could come to life!
Makayla, I don't know about me reading books like that one! I'm such a wimp, I probably would have nightmares! I'm glad you liked it though!
Mrs. H
The last book I read was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rawling.The book was really good and had lots of detail.I will probably read it again in the near future.
Zach, if you want to read a book of that size again, that's a REALLY good sign that it's a great book!
Mrs. H
If you like books with magic. I suggest the keys to the kingdom books. They're just like harry potter.
The Hunger games by Suzanne Collins
I thought it was good because it packed a lot adventure, hope, a liottle bit of romance; it makes me want to read the next chapter.
Grayson, you're not alone in your enjoyment of The Hunger Games! We can't keep the books on our shelves in the library! You make it sound like it has a little something for everyone!
Matt, who wrote the books in that series? In what ways are they like the Harry Potter books? I'm so glad that you enjoyed them!

I like the magic treehouse books because I like mysteries. Jack and Annie go to different places by pointing to a picture in their book and wishing to go there. In this book they went to a forest in India. I wish I had a magic treehouse.
Which Magic Treehouse book was it Makayla? Don't forget to mention the author who wrote the book too. Then others can be sure to find the book if they're interested!
Mrs. H
The Hardy Boys book that i am reading
now is The Mystery At Devil's paw. My favorite part so far is when the bear
attacked the Frank and Joe. It was good because it really added suspense.When I had to stop it was like AH WATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!I finally got to find out thogh.
That sounds like a great book J.J! When you get to a part like that, it's almost impossible to stop reading!
Mrs. H
The book that i am reading right now is Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The part that i am at right now is when the gong rings and all the career tributes have secured the cornucopia for themselves. Right now Katiness is on the move in the forest.she is looking for a safe spot to hide.I would recommend Hunger Games to people of all ages right now because it is an easy read. Also there has been no violence that has been described more than "they were kill" right now. You should read it if you have not!
Mrs Halterman, You may have already read "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen . I am really enjoying it. If you have not already read it I suggest you do do. It's a really good book. James H
This series is extremely popular Zach! I'm glad you're enjoying the first book. I'm sure you'll want to read the other two as well!
Mrs. H
Yes, James, I have read Hatchet and I agree that it's an awesome book! You need to go on and read the other books too: The River, Brian's Winter, Brian's Return, and Brian's Hunt.

I'm reading the book War Horse right now by Michael Morpurgo. It's extremely amazing even though it's just giving the horses point of view. So far Joey and Topthorn's owner gave them to a stable where they won't be used as war horses,instead they'll be treated far much better than what they have. They're learning how to pull a cart,Joey has already done this so he is trying to help Topthorn. They're learning how to pull a cart because they will be hauling the sick and dead people to the hospital or wherever the dead people may have to be going.
It sounds really good Jodi especially since it's from a horse's point of view. Does it take place during the Civil War? For some reason I got the impression that it does.
When you finish, you'll have to let me know what you thought of the book overall.
Mrs. H
The book i'm reading is Ninth Grade Slays by the author Heather Brewer. My thoughts about the book were fantastic. It contained a good storyline and a very good vocabulary. It's about a 14 year old teen named Vladmir Tod,he goes to Siberia with his uncle Otis to pratice his supernatural powers. When he comes back he faces a vampire slayer. I'm looking foward to reading more of Heather Brewer's vampire series.
another good book is the grey griffen series by derek benz.It was a good read, as well as the other books in the series. This one had a lot of good twists.when you pick it up you just dont want to put it down.

The title of this book is Judy Moody saves the world! The author is Megan McDonald and illustrated by Peter Reynolds. I like this book because I like Judy Moody. I like Judy Moody because she is mean to her brother. I sometimes like to be mean to my brother too. She sometimes gets in trouble just like me.
Love this kind of book, Matthew!
Makayla, I can't believe that you're mean to your brother and you get in trouble...not you!!!
Mrs. H
right now i am reading j edgar hoover by tom streissguth. the book is really good because it talks about the age when the big gang members and people like al capone are around.i would recomend this book to anyone because it is a really easy read.
I just finished the mark on the door.
It is a Hardy Boy book. I would never of guest how they escaped. I won't tell you how they did it because it will ruin the book.I found it funny they escaped though.
I am reading Brian's winter right now and it is really good.it has a lot of detail and action.it is really good so far.
The book I am reading is a sequel called "The Fourth Stall part II". I like this book because it packs a lot of humorous things and a bunch of new surprises. It's about this kid who saves the school from being closed down and makes a decision that will change his ways. I recommend that you should read this book.
Hunting For Hidden Gold is the new book I am finishing. There is a lot of cliff hangers in the book. It is like every time I stop there is a new exciting event. For instance recently I stoped when they just woke up I want to know where they are going.
Brian's winter is a good book and supports the reader with good information.Brian's winter is by Gary Paulsen.the book has a lot of cliff hangers and leaves you hanging a lot.you can never guess what is going to happen next.I would recommend this book to anyone even little kids.
the book im reading is the fourth stall by Chris Rylander.the book is like the godfather or al capone as a kid because mac can get you anything that you need for a price like rated r movie passes of test answer.my favorite person in the book is kiten because he's the king of all the bullys but he is a little 6th grader but he has a lot of pent up rage.
The book i'm reading is "The Savage Fortress" by Sarwat Chadda. It's about a thirteen year old boy named Ash with his sister Lucky. Ash finds a golden arrow that was once used to defeat the demon lord Ravana. Now Ash has to keep the arrow from falling into evil's hands. I reccamond that you should read this adventurous book.
Thanks for the last two books you've recommended, Grayson! I have the sequel to Fourth Stall, but haven't read it yet! There's a new one that just came out. Did you know that?
Keep reading!
Mrs. H
Right now I am reading crack back by john coy.the book is good because it has a lot of suspension and leaves you hanging.the reason is you just can't take in as as much information at once.the author makes it boring for a while and all of the sudden a lot of action comes at once.I really recommend it.it should have a higher star level.
I am reading "The Missing Chums". It is super hilarious. Frank and Joe just got their costumes and before going in their house they put on the masks. When she opened the door she slammed the door with such might you would thought of it as an earth- quake. At least that's how I imaged it.They also witnessed a bank robbery. Oh gee how I wished I could tell you everything

The title is Be careful what you wish for. The author is R.L. STINE. I do not like this book because Judith YELLS at Samantha. The other reason I don't like this book is Judith calls Samanth a byrd. The last reason is because Judith now wants to be like Samantha.
I just finished reading the first of a long series called The Misadventures of Bloody Jack. Or Bloody Jack. I don't know. The author has a lot of titles for it. Anyway, I loved it. I'm already reading the 2nd book. This girl just can't be good for some reason. Yes, it's a girl. To find out you should read it!It's 11 points on AR and the second is 27 points. This could help get grades up. Once you get past her way of writing and talking it's an easy read. Have fun!
Hey guys! These all sound like great reads! I'll need to get busy! Thanks for taking the time to post and fill me in!
Mrs. H
The book i'm reading is One of the four series "I pledge alliegence" by Chris Lynch. It's about the four friends Rudi,Ivan,Beck and Morris.They made a pledge,to not let each other die, but that's about to be put to the test when Morris get drafted to war and the other three sign up. This book is great and it makes you worry if all the four friends are make it out alive.
I've been hearing quite a lot about this book, Grayson! It sounds really good!
Mrs. H
I am reading The shore road mystery. They have already been threatened with a fake bomb. Now they are in the bad guy's hideout. They got trapped trying to escape.
In Chris D'Lacey's Dark Fire, the fifth Last Dragon Chronicles book, New York Times bestselling author David Rain goes missing in the Arctic, and it's up to his 5 year old daughter to bring him back. This book is so good that u dont want to put it down until its finshed but to learn more about story read the book to find out
i just finished reading YOU CAN'T SCARE ME! by: R.L.STINE. I liked this book because they go in the woods and they see mud monsters at night.This book is one of the creepiest books by R.L. STINE that i have read.
Right now i am reading The Warriors Heart by Eric Greitens. The begining of the book goes right back to a flashback when eric was in the first stage of navy seal training. Eric proposes how cold the water was with stunning detail. The imagery is so great that you feel like your actually in the below zero water for days at a time.after that he goes further back in the flashback to his teen years overseas at relief efforts all over the world. That is as far as i have gotten so far and it is really good.you should read it and i will continue to read it.
I have been reading "The Hobbit".
If you have not yet read this book you are missing out because it is packed with adventure and excitement. It has made me interested in related books such as the "Lord of the Rings"-"The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers",and "The Return of the King"...I look forward to reading these as well.
i just finished reading The Mark of Athena, by Rick Riordian. IT IS AMAZING!!! theres so many things going on at once that its impossible to explain without giving it away, so i will only say, YOU MUST READ IT!! after, of course, you read The Lost Hero, then The Son of Neptune. those are the first two books in the whole new series of Percy Jackson.i cant wait until this fall when the fourth comes out!
As you know I have totally been digging these Laurlene McDaniel books for the past 4 months now. I just want to say thanks for getting me to read books again,books that I actually like. Anyways the book I'm reading now,obviously by Laurlene McDaniel is Till Death Do Us Part. So far a senior girl named April Lancaster was sent to the hospital for fainting in the middle of class. Her ex,Chris caught her as she fell. She was rushed to the hospital to do some testing about all the headaches she's been getting. Turns out it was a recurrence of her brain tumor from when she was a toddler. While she is staying at the hospital she meets a young boy named Mark with CF (cystic fibrosis) who really likes her. April at first showed no interest in him whatsoever until she really got to know him. Her and Chris do break up after she tells him that she has a tumor. Mark takes April out to eat,go racing and even takes her to meet his parents! Even though April's parents do not approve of her seeing Mark very well they still let her go on dates with him and spend lots of time with him. April goes through weeks of radiation and then finds out her tumor has not shrank at all to where they can cut it out of her with the gamma knife,but it is dormant. Mark eventually proposes to her after dating for 6 months and not too long after that Mark has to go back to the hospital do to a terrible accident racing and his CF being part of it. Mark and April marry on his last breathes at the hospital,he only lived to see a few seconds of his marriage.
So glad you are enjoying these books to this extent. Jodi!
This one appears to be a real tear jerker :(

The book I am reading is a book based on the the Veitnam War.The title is called "Sharpshooter" by Chris Lynch. It's the second book of the seris and it's a heartpumping spine tingling book to read. It's about One of the four buddies named Rudi, He wants to fight in the army just like his dad and gets a chance when he signed up for the army, he's a sniper,now he has to really fight for whats right. This book is a mind blowing adventure to give you an idea on what it's like to be on the battlefield
You're on your way to completing the series, Grayson - awesome!
I pray this is the closest you ever come to a real battlefield.
Keep reading - you'll never regret it.

I just finished reading Hex Hall. I absolutely love it!!!! Sophie is a witch.....or so she thinks. After all, that's what her mother always told her. Even though her mother is human, her dad sure isn't. He's a warlock... again, according to her mother. Sophie can perform small spells. But when she does a love spell for a sweet girl, something goes terribly wrong. She's sentanced to Hecate Hall... where stuff happens....
I'm reading one of the sequels to The Face on The Milk Carton by Caroline b. Cooney. The second book is called Whatever happened to Janie. Janie Johnson or AKA Jennie Springs has just moved back in with her birth parents,Mr. and Mrs. Springs. She doesn't feel at home because she had been gone with the Johnson's for 12 whole years! She has an older brother named Stephan,an older sister named Jodi and 2 younger twin brothers named Brian and Brendan. She's adjusting to the change at her new house,new family and new school. Jennie still prefers to be called Janie because she doesn't like being called Jennie Springs at all. She left her family,the Johnsons,her best friends and her boyfriend Reeve all back in New Jersey because she was forced to go to Conneticuit with her birth family
Now that's enough to make me go out and get this book!

I read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Bella is trying to figure out Edwards secret. She figures it out when Edward has to save her.The big thing he is hiding is that hes is a vampire.
I am reading The secret of the caves.these books make me so jubilant when I read them.It's so fast past and it makes me almost think and dream about them 24/7. :)
I'm back to reading one of my favorite series..."Star Wars". This series is mainly written by Paul Davids. This particular book was entitled,"Mission from Mount Yoda" and was about helping a species of aliens be protected from the Dark Side.I really enjoy these books.
I read Let's Get Invisible! by: R.L. STINE. His books can be a little creppy sometimes. I always like to read his books though. I like this book because they get invisible. I think it would be fun to be invisible so I can be in my brothers room and he would not know it. I would like to see his face when I was invisible.I would like to see one of my neighbors faces when I was invisible too.I think it would be fun to be invisible.
Right now I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.It is the second book in the series. The reason I started reading the series is because I watched the movie in theatres and was very impressed by it. I read the first book and took a break for a while and now I am reading the second book. Book two has so far not impressed me at all. All Katiness has done is make out with Gale and meet with president Snow. I think and hope that the book will have more action. I wonder if Katiness is going to go in the games again with Peeta. If they do I think Peeta will stay with Katiness the whole time and they will win again.
i finished reading The Traitor King. It is pretty cool. i love all the fairy tales with conflict. those are the BEST kinds of books for me. Darren and his older sister go to their family reunion everry year. its always at their Wierd Uncle Will's house. but this years different. Uncle Will has disappeared. But he left a note saying everythimg is to go as planned, meaning the Hunt. Its where uncle will hides these very hard clues that no person would look, but somehow Darren and his sister know exactly where to look.
On the Hunt to find Uncle Will, they encounter some "colossal" problems. (do i get candy??? ;) a dead man follows them around, the librarian in the teensy town is a witch, and they learn about their fammily's ahmeful and dark past.
but i cant give too much away, now can i???
Hey, Zach.... i laughed out loud when you said that all Katniss does is make out with Gale. Its pretty much true!
I am reading The Hardy Boys number 9.
It is full of lots of suspense. there is a lot of trouble that goes on in this book towards the Hardy boys. there is even a real grenade thrown at them.
Right I'm reading deeper by roderick gordon and brian williams.It's a good book to read.Plus their is only 643. I don't know if you've read the book but if you have I know you liked it a lot.
A really good that I've read recently is Cinder By Marissa Meyer! It's a great book!! I've never been soooo into a book like I was with Cinder it's the first book of the Lunar Chronicles. Its about a cybor named Cinder. I would say more but I would probably spoil it.😁
I don't think my last comment when in.. Anyway.
A You Have To Read Book Would Be; (The Lunar Chronicles) Ciner By Marissa Meyer.
I've never been SOO into a book before! It's abouslety amazing. The book had you hooked the whole time! It's about a Cybor named Cinder. I would say more but I would probably spoil it.
I have discovered an exciting new series entitled "Wings of Fire". The main character is Clay, a dragon called a Mudwing. He and his four friends have a destiny to fulfill. Their destiny is to stop a ten year war peacefully. I am now reading the second book entitled "The Lost Heir".

I read Ghost Beach by:R.L. Stine. I liked this book because I like to walk in the graveyards with my friends too. I think it was pretty freaky that people kept on showing up at the graveyard when they are there. I would like to do grave stone rubbings because it sounds fun. Do you believe in GHOSTS?
