How to Ruin My Teenage Life
By: Simone Elkeles

What I find interesting about my book, "How to Ruin My Teenage Life," is there is this seventeen year old girl Amy where her life is going totally wrong. Her mom got married and moved to the suburbs, and now they are going to have a baby. Amy moves in with her dad in Chicago and signs him up for an online dating service. When she does, she has to pay and steals her dad's credit card with out him knowing. Later on, he finds out and is very mad. That is all that i found interesting about my book so far.

Well when I was reading "Mexican Whiteboy" what I found interesting were the characters. First of all Danny, the main character is a half mexican boy who is really skinny and really tall. He isn't very strong but he can throw a baseball harder than some major leaguers. There is also Uno, who is half mexican and half black. Danny and Uno started off enemies and then practicing baseball brought them to be best friends. They try to save money so they Uno can go live with his dad, and Danny who can see his dad for the first time in years. They use baseball to hustle some kids from different schools. What I find interesting is the way baseball is used in this book and the dynamic characters.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

(This is for the post that was late for last week). Well so far in my book i like that Henry (from the future) travels back to the past of Clare's childhood and he meets her several times and they fall in love. But when Henry and Clare meet in the present he has not yet visited her childhood because that was Henry's future self, so Clare knows all about Henry. But Henry thinks hes just meeting her for the first time. I thought that was interesting because its an odd twist to the story. It can get confusing at times but its interesting to read. Its just such a unique book.

The Lost Boy , By; Dave Plezer

Something i really liked about my book is the fact that David is still trying to find a home and its taking him so long, yet hes stronger then ever. Hes learned to not get to close to each of the foster parents hes getting switched to. I'd find it hard to be able to do that because i would feel alone. The fact that his brother might be going through the same thing he is may be to hard to believe. I think David is a strong individual and can survive through this all.

This article shows that the halloween we are used to may no longer exist. To have so many wounded on a night like halloween is unimaginable. Halloween is a time for people to dress up in their fairy tale figures or idols and collect candy. Halloween has always been a toime to dress up and give out candy and go out with your friends to collect candy. Unfortunately is has become a time for bad people to carry ouy their sinister thoughts. Halloween is becoming a scary time of the year and people are less excited about it. This year I also noticed the least number of trick or treaters and kids. I think there should be a rule about all this nonsense and violence.

SSR Novel Summary

Dean Khater

In my book that was instresting was the part where joe brings a gun to school. He was told by alot of poeple that he is stupid. He and his only friend Dylan wanted to get revenge. SO they got a .22 pistol. They are planning to get back at their school. But when and how? I am so excitied to what will happen.

"Shadow Boxer"

Something that i found interesting in my book would have to be the fact that George and his brother love to box. I think that is interesting because most of the time brother never agree on a sport they like or they do different sport. I also find it interesting because they dont just both like boxing they help each other out and try to mak themself better. I also think it is weird because most brother like to be better than the other but not with George and his brother. I like the fact that the sport does not come in between them and their family life together. That is what i find interesting about my book so far.
