Hello, it is me here.
My favourite or most intriguing scene so far in our novel so far is the second nightmare Idk why not the first but the second. To me, it starts off when he comes back from school and he does his chores. He has some chores to do and the reason why I think that he had to do at least some is that his mom is sick and it sounds pretty bad. Then he had to go to bed wide awake and then the clock keeps ticking and then there is a monster that ask a lot of questions and then seemed to get mad at the end.

What happened in the first 2 chapters is that his mom is bald and is really sick and he has this nightmare. he does not think that it is real and that monsters are for babies. After that, he woke up and his mom is sick like I said he had to make his own breakfast and then he talks to his mom before going to school.

btw I am reading the monster calls.

The end

This must be at least 2 paragraphs long. This will be your homework for next week. Para 1: When Doon And Lina switch jobs from when they picked them out from the mayor. Lina had the pipeworks but she did not like the pipeworks because she did not want to work down in the poop and stinky stuff. Lina also did not want to get messy. So Lina switched jobs with Doon. Doon had a job called Messenger. Lina wanted messenger and Doon wanted pipeworks so they switched jobs.


Para 2: When Ms Thons class had to choose their jobs. And there were 2 people who were friends for a bit of time. They are called Doon Harrow and Lina. they got to pick jobs, the whole class did. But doon harrow got messenger and lina got Pipe Works.

My favorite scene of the book is pages 21-22 (It was hilarious) Conor felt miserable until he remembered the day before that day. His mum had taken him to his favorite restaurant, and let him order as much as vindaloo he wants. Then after some time, they'd started farting before going back into the car. They hardly talked from laughing and farting soooooooooo hard. Then Conor realized that he was not going back home. Instead it was a trip to cinema on school might. Still giggling to themselves drinking coke and popcorn.

Lily called for Conor and complained she was trying to help hours ago. But Conor got frustrated because of Lily's complaining, he stopped and looked around, he looked so angry, and told Lily that it was her fault.

On the way back home, Conor glared at the yew tree and suddenly turned into a monster again. Arms reaching out with his giant face saying "Conor". Conor backed up-nearly fell into the street, catching himself- and looked up again, it was just a tree again.

THE END (Here is the Waka Waka song)

Tipe, tipe, zangalewa (World Cup! World Cup!)
Tipe, tipe, zangalewa (World Cup! World Cup!)
Tipe, tipe, zangalewa (World Cup! World Cup!)
Tipe, tipe, zangalewa (World Cup! World Cup!)

I am reading City of Embers. The first 2 chapters are about the City of Embers and how the lights were starting to go on and off, this is a problem because they only had light in the day and at night it was pitch black. If the lights went out in the day then they would be in total darkness. The two main characters Lina and Dune just finished school and were called to work where they got their jobs to help fix the lights because they needed a lot of people to help. Dune got job as a messenger and Lina got job as a pipeworker, they were both upset with their jobs and in the end switched jobs which made them happier.
Dune Harrow is a main character he has a serious look and thick eyebrows which come together when he is serious.

Chapter 1
The book I am reading is called Pax. The book Pax is about a fox named Pax and a boy named Peter. So one day they were in the forest or near a forest, and Pax and Peter were playing a game similar to fetch. They were using a toy soldier to play. Pax would go hide with the toy and Peter would go look for them. Pax waited and waited for Peter until there was no sign of Peter. Then he heard a noise and ran to check it out. Pax saw Peter and his father in the car going to his grandpa’s house. Peter shouted “ Pax!”

Chapter 2
Peter was at his grandfather’s house and his grandfather was telling him stories and showing him pictures of his father. Before Peter goes to bed, Peter was asking if he would take the bus or walk. His grandfather told him “You are walking to school and back. “ And told him how he should get there. Then he walks to his room and goes to bed.


My favorite part is when Peter and Pax were playing together.

Here are the three questions I will be answering for Dog Diaries.

1. My favourite scene of the book is that when the main character which is a dog named Jimmy, got adopted from the shelter and said so many funny things about them. He said he saw three skinny long-legged ladies. Jimmy called them grandmoo, momlady, and the other he named JawJaw but the name was actually Georgia. Then he saw a boy and named him Ruff catch-a-doggy-bone but it was supposed to be Rafe Khatchadorian. I liked this scene because it was hilarious that the dog was misprounouncing their names.

2. The main character is the one narrating the story. He is funny, silly, and pobably the most silliest dog I have ever seen (or maybe that is how dogs think but we just don't know)

3. What happened in the two chapters of the book is that the dog got adopted by grandmoo,momlady, JawJaw, and Ruff catch-a-doggy-bone. Another thing that happened is that he explained what is in the house and his favourite and scary rooms. For example he said about that the kitchen is fulled with doggy treats and food bits on the ground that he could eat after the family is done eating.

My Favourite seen from my new book ( Monstrous Devices )
Is a seen when Alex ( The main character ). Is seen lying in his bed when he is suddenly awakened by a tick tok tick tok sound. When he then looks down on to the ground to see a little tiny robot it was red and looked scared. But then he tried to go back to sleep only for another robot to appear 1 Minuit later. This one however was different It was blue and looked sad. It then climbed on to Alex's desk after it appearance. Then it looked like the robot was trying to get in to Alex's
PC. But then right when Alex was about to get up a third robot appeared. This one was way different it was grey and looked angry at first Alex didn't think of it to much until he noticed what was on its arm.
It was a spear like knife covered in some sort of brown liquid and that's when he realized it was trying to stab him.

My favourite part in The Tiger Rising it was...

the morning Rob discovered the tiger behind the Kentucky star sign Rob liked that sign Rob had a slight thought that the sign gives him good luck. Rob thought finding the tiger was luck. He was in the woods behind the Kentucky star motel way out in the forest not looking for anything specific just looking around hoping to get lost or get eaten so he doesn't have to go to school ever again. That's when he saw a old gas station building next to it there was a cage with a large tiger.
that was my favourite part I don't know if I did it wrong but bye.

My favourite scene in the book has been when the the toy robots appeared because out of no where their were two robots a red robot and a blue robot.

Describe the main character in your book,

Alex is the main character he is very smart because he thinks of better solutions for problems and he is independent because he likes to be on his own.

Summarize what’s happened in the first two chapters of your book.

In the first two chapters Alex receives a gift from this grandfather which is a toy robot. The toy was old and had sharp and rough edges and stood only five inches tall.

People bullied him on the bus at the beginning of chapter two. People called him names such as a "loser". A few of Alex's friends were fighting over things such as toys and calling each other names.

Monstrous Devices.

I realized I kinda messed up it but I think this is right. The first thing that was my favourite part because it was the main part of it because it was when and where he found the tiger.

I don't know how to explain the main caracter Rob I'll try to explain at school if that is ok.

I akready explained the first 2 chapters in when I had to explain my favourite part but I dont know what too do now but yeaaaa

My favourite scene in Pax is when Peter runs away to find Pax .
This scene is my favourite because it shows how much Peter loves Pax and that Peter doesn't think of him as just a fox he thinks of him as a best friend . I also think this scene is an AMAZING scene because when Peter is going to that shop I can picture him going through things and trying to find a flashlight. Also when the man wearing a blue jacket who is smoking says “Need something, young man?” I can imagine him being really scared . This is why I think this is an amazing scene.

The second question I am answering is who is the main charter .
I think that the two main people in this book are both Peter and Pax Peter is a boy and Pax is the fox . I feel like Pax is a very playful fox who sometimes never really understands Peter and he is very curious and comforting . Peter is very lonely most of the time and since he is at this grandpa's house he has nobody but his dad and his boring grandpa to hangout with so since pax is not there he is very lonely

The book that l am reading is called The Land of Stories book 1 - The Wishing Spell. It was written by Chris Colfer. My favorite scene in the book has been in chapter four because Alex and Conner who are twins go inside of the book and go into the land of stories with all of the magic. It all started with a book their grandmother gave them and then one day the book started glowing.


Describe the main character in your book
The main characters in the book are Alex and Conner. They are twins and one is a boy and the other is a girl. They are quite the opposite but always have each other's back. Alex is kind and gets straight A+ , is really smart , kind of a teacher's pet but because she is so smart no one wants to play with her. Conner gets D- and he is always sleeping in class and his grades are not the best.
