        The book The Hunger Games  is a really good book!  In the book, the hunger games all started out with war.  Then there became 12 districs starting with 0. Every year a girl and a boy gets picked from each district to fight to the death.  There can only be 1 winner.  The movie is a lot like the book but obviously the book has more details! Anyways Katniss’s  (the main character) sister (Prim) gets chosen for the hunger games, they are from district 12 and Katniss gave Prim a molking jay pin so nothing bad would happen to her but sadly Prim got chosen for the hunger games. Katniss volunteers for Prim so now Katniss is in the hunger games. They chose Peeta for the boys to take a part in the national hunger games from district 12. After that every district practices for the big fight.  Katniss and Peeta have a mentour named HayMitch.  HayMitch is fat in the book.  They then all get a interveiw and Katniss wears a dress made of jems. When they start the hunger games Peeta and Katniss try to stay away from killing other kids. After on in the book Katniss gets chased by alot of other kids that want to kill her.  Katniss then is stuck in a tree.  Then when there is only a few people left counting Peeta and Katniss, Katniss and Peeta both are helping eachother survive and it gets to the point where Katnis and Peeta kiss in the cave where they were staying for shelter. Later on it gets where now 2 people from the same district can win.   Now only 4 people are left and the game makers decide to make the kids that died into scary creatures that kill Thresh from district 11.  Peeta and Katniss run to safty but some how Cato from distric 2 ends up holding Peeta’s neck, Katniss doesnt know what to do so Katniss pulls out her bow and arrow and……..Im gonna stop here because I dont want to give everything away.  I think the movie is alot like the book but in the movie there are some parts that dont happen in the book.  Some examples is HayMitch is fat in the book and thin in the movie and Effie (the escort for district 12) has pinkish hair. Also in the book Katniss has a dress made of jems and lastly the ending in the book is different then the movie! There are more but I will leave that to whoever decides to read this book!  I recommend this book to people who dont mind death in books and I also recommend this book because it is really good and interesting and keeps you reading. The movie is also really good too! I loved this book and I hope you did/do too!

      Hi, Mikhaila here! I just finished reading the book Boys are Dogs by Leslie Margolis. It was a really good book! This book is a lot like my life! Except for the bullying part and the moving part too. In this book there is a girl named Annabelle who moves to a new house and new school in Westlake. The school is named the Birchwood Middle school. She has to get use to all of these new things,even a new dog! Her mom even has a new boyfriend! Annabelle said goodbye to all of her friends. In this book at the time my sister and I were getting a new dog just like Annabelle! When Annabelle got the puppy it was a mix with a lab and a border collie. The puppy we have now is a lab and the dog we had that died on our birthday was a border collie! Weird ha? Anabelle has to go through a lot of stuff now in her new life. For example, Annabelle has to train her new puppy how to do tricks and NOT to go to the bathroom in the house. Meanwhile Annabelle has some problems to clear with the boys at her new school. She has to figure out a way to control the boys so they aren’t in the way of her school work. She then figures out that boys do act like dogs, for example Pepper. She then has an idea of training boys like training Pepper. She uses Peppers training book for that, but crosses off the dog related stuff and makes it boy related. 

You will have to read this book to figure out if her little plan works or not. So I suggest you get reading. 

I recommend this book to you because it has many fun things going on and this may mirror your life like it mirrors mine! Abigail Edge got me interested into reading this book and I hope I will get you interested into reading this book too!

Thanks for reading!

 Hi my name is Mikhaila Edge and  in the book Main Street Needle and Thread by Ann M. Martin there is lots of things happening with Flora and Ruby. In book 1 Ruby and Flora were just getting over the fact their parents had died and they had to move to a new house and town with their grandmother Min. So in book 2 which is the book I am blogging about (Needle and Thread) they are still settling in in their new home.

 It is fall in Camden Falls and the girls are thinking about Halloween. But before Halloween they have to worry about school going to 6th and 4th grade. Their friends Nikki and Olivia are looking forward to 6th grade like Flora, but Ruby is the only one going to 4th grade. Ruby is sad she is the only one going to 4th grade out of all of them because she feels left out. On the other hand Flora and Olivia and Nikki all want to be in Mrs. Mandel’s class. They say she is Very nice. The next day all of the girls get their teachers and as Flora  takes out the letter she reads it and she gets……..Mrs. Mandel! Then Nikki and Olivia meat up at Needle and Thread which is a sewing place Flora and Ruby’s grandma own and they  have….sorry don’t want to spoil it for you. Robby is also a good friend of theirs and he is retarded and also 17 so he is going into High School.

       In the row of houses there is one person who lives in one of them who scares everybody and they call her Mary Woosly. They think she is a witch. Flora and Ruby were up in their attic and found a picture of Mary Woosly with their mom! How could their mom be friends with Mary Woosly? Read the book to find out. Mean while the girls were thinking about being characters from the Wizard of Oz.

       Then Ruby tries out for the school play and gets the part she wanted while Flora sews. Min needs Flora to take a package to Mary Woosly’s house she does and Flora and Mary have a conversation.

        It is finally Halloween and the girls can’t wait to show of their costumes. After that it’s Olivia’s B-Day! Now Flora likes Mary Woosly she gives her a surprise and Mary loves it. Find out what the surprise is. Flora and Ruby were so worried about this Thanksgiving without their mom and dad but it turns out to be…..I don’t want to be a party pooper and ruin it for you so I wont!

        Seriously you should read this book! I left lots of questions for you. Even though I wrote ALOT I didn’t tell the whole story. Hope you enjoyed this blog!
