Book Recommendation by Mia

I picked this book because it has 
other books with it because it a 
“Series” of unfortunate events. This 
book is about “The Bad Beginning 
is the first novel of the of A Series 
of Unfortunate Events by Lemony 
Snicket. The novel tells the story of 
three children, Violet, Klaus, and 
Sunny Baudelaire, who become 
orphans following a fire and are sent 
to live with Count Olaf, who attempts 
to steal their inheritance.” If you don’t 
know what inheritance means then 
inheritance means like someone is 
trying to take your identity because 
you might have a lot of money or 
something.

Interview

By: Lundyn

I think the idea of interviews of teachers are super cool, and we get to learn about the 
teachers in our school. Sydnie Speckman did an interview with Ms.P and I had no idea 
she had been working for that many years. When we are done and you share it with 
your friends then only your friends know. But what is awesome is when our interviews 
are done ms.Travis post it on the page to share with anyone who is following that page, 
and they get to learn new stuff about their kids teachers. I love this idea and I hope we 
will continue this program next year.

Skeleton Creek 

A book recommendations that I have is Skeleton Creek because it 
is a really good book. This book is also really good if you like scary 
books or mystery books. They have a series of books and there’s a 
total of 5 books and right now I’ve only read the first one and I’m 
starting to read the second one called ghost in the machine. I like this 
book because it’s about two teens Ryan and Sarah who are investigating 
this mysterious dredge at their hometown and while they do that Ryan 
breaks his leg and their parents have forbidden Ryan and Sarah to talk
to each other. They investigate what they found at the dredge while 
secretly emailing each other and secretly meeting up. It leaves you on 
a cliff hanger so you’ll want to read the next book. Ryan writes all of his 
information in his notebook while Sarah video tapes all of it and post it 
on her website and the books includes the website you have to go to 
and a password so that you can watch the videos to. This is why I 
think Skeleton Creek is a good book.

Gobble Grams by Lacy

I like gobble grams and I think they are a good thing to have because 
they give thanks to your friends. They also tell them why your thankful 
for them and how much. The gobble grams also aren’t that expensive 
they are only 25 cents. Gobble grams can also brighten up someone’s 
day and it helps raise money for our school. This is why I like gobble grams 
and think they are a good idea.

Teachers by Mia

I think teachers are the smartest people in school, not 
just they have an answer sheet it's because did the work 
for the answer sheet. So if you ever say “ TeAcHeRs OnLy 
GeT tHe AnSwEr RiGhT BeCaUsE tHeY HaVe An 
AnSwEr ShEeT” well your wrong. I mean this is all in 
my opinion. You can think whatever you want about 
teachers. Some people might not like all the teachers on 
their team I mean whatever team your on. ( Kraken, 
Hippogriff, Dragons, Thunderbirds, Phoenix, and Gargoyles.)
I liked my teachers in 6th grade, because I was on team 
Kraken last year.

Book Recommendation by Lydia

My book recommendation is Faceless by Alyssa Sheinmel. It is a realistic fiction novel about 
a girl named Maisie whose passion is running. One day when she was out on a run, it started 
storming. Lighting struck a tree next to her which caused the tree to catch on fire and the fire 
spread to her body. When she woke up, she was lying in a hospital bed trying to figure out what 
happened to her. She had a burn on her side, her hand, and worst of all, her face. The doctors 
offer her a face transplant and she accepts. When she sees her “new face”, she doesn’t feel like 
herself. When she gets out of the hospital, she has to deal with bullies, her family, her best friend, 
Selena, her boyfriend, Chirag, and trying to love herself. You can find this book at the Excelsior 
Springs Mid-Continent Library.

Harry Potter by Emma

      Harry Potter 

                                  Book recommendation 

I think that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone is a good book 
because its about a boy who didn’t have a great life living with his 
aunt and uncle and cousin they treated him different because his 
parents were a witch and wizard. But Harry didn’t know that until he 
got a letter from Hogwarts wizardry school, and then his life completely 
changed he didn’t have his family bossing him around anymore he 
had a real bed and not living under a staircase anymore. But on the 
way he finds out the guy who killed his parents. Harry ends up coming 
across that guy during his stay at Hogwarts.

So I made the basketball team, and I’m super proud of myself for it!! I 
worked really hard for this. Basketball practices have been going well. 
We have done many drills and a lot of running. We have learned a lot of 
plays like our defensive play “blue”, which is a 2 3 zone, and our offensive 
play “california”, and this friday is meet the tiger night, where we mix together 
and scrimmage each other for 15 minuets. Then we have a parent meeting 
afterward. Our first game is November 25 in Warrensburg. Our Team does 
a great job of being there for each other and picking each other up when we 
make a mistake. What perkins tells us most is “we are a team, not a 7th grade 
team and an 8th grade team, we just play that way!” we have really good 
coaches as well. If your a 6th grader this year, I suggest trying out for a sport 
in 7th & 8th grade, it will keep you in shape, and keep you out of trouble. A little 
tip if you are wanting to play sports, keep your grades up to date and good. 
They will tell you all the time that you are a student athlete, and student comes 
before athlete for a reason.

Today the book I recommend is Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley. This book follows the story of a 15-year 
old boy who discovers a dying mother dragon and her one surviving dragonet. Jake lives at Smokehill National 
Park, a park set up to protect dragons. Sightings of dragons are pretty rare though. But when Jake embarks on 
his first alone overnight stay in the park, he finds a dying mother dragon with her dead newborn dragonets & 
a dead poacher. He is shocked to find out one of the dragonets is still alive & decided to rescue it. But beyond 
hurting or killing a dragon, saving a dragon is even more illegal. Jake must somehow raise the dragonet & 
reintroduce it to the wild without being caught by the authorities. Will he succeed? Will the young dragon 
survive? Find out more in Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley! By Caroline

I enjoyed the book Drama, by Raina Telgemeier. It stars a girl called Callie 
who works in theater. They soon find out they have to work on a play. She meets 2 people named 
Justin and Jesse. Justin is going o enter the play. They get people in the play and Callie has a crush 
on Justin but he is gay. They start to set up for the play and they get a cannon and the boom isn’t too 
great. So Callie fixes it by adding a fan. It soon gets to time for the show. And it goes great! How ever 
on one other show things go wrong. West breaks up with Bonnie who refuses to leave the bathroom 
so she can’t play her part. Callie’s confetti boomer breaks in her pocket. The cannon is terrible. But as 
it comes time for Bonnie’s part someone shows up! Jesse goes on stage to sing Bonnie’s part! They
 even have a gay kiss!!! The play ends and Jesse says he wants to go with Callie to the 8th grade 
formal! The time for the dance comes and Jesse goes to the bathroom, only to not return. Callie 
finds him talking with West. She gets mad at him and leaves. She sees Greg and they talk and he 
wants to get back together with her but she refuses and walks home alone. Jesse says sorry and 
they make up. All of the theater cast goes out for boba and then Callie is so excited for the play next 
year.

 The End!

I love this book and it is a really nice book! I really suggest you read it along with Raina’s other books!!
