Goosebumps: The Haunted Car

The book I read was Goosebumps: The Haunted Car by R.L.Stine. (Robert Lawrence Stine)

It is about a boy, Mitchell, whose family owns a Haunted car. They bought it after his dad crashed their old car. Later that night Mitchell wanted to drive the car really bad. His dad told him not to, but he ended up in the leather front seat of the car. He started to drive but then he met a ghost girl that haunts the car and the ghost said in a dry and raspy whisper, “I’m evil. I’m so evil.”

He tried to get out but the ghost girl locked the door…

Later in the morning, when his dad drove him to school, he found a note in the glove compartment. It said: I’m evil. I’m so evil…

I also read a Goosebumps Monster Survival Guide and it said the car is Slappy’s, an evil ventriloquist dummy from another Goosebumps book. I LOVE the Goosebumps series and would recommend that you read this book!

The Half Blood Prince

My book is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K Rowling. The main character is Harry Potter, and his friends Ron and Hermione. Harry gets to Hogwarts, A wizarding school, with Ron and Hermione, then he goes to his potions class and uses a borrowed book from Slughorn. The book is scribbled on and it says different instructions than what the black board says. Harry follows the instructions and wins felix felicis! When Harry gets back to the Gryffindor common room he finds out the book belongs to the Half- Blood Prince.

Dumbledore takes Harry into the Pensive to look at Tom Riddle/Voldemort/He who must not be named/You Know Who’s memory. Then, When Harry goes to Aragogs funeral he runs into Horace Slughorn. After that, Slughorn gives Harry the important “Memory”. Next, Harry and Dumbledore go on a quest to find Voldemort/Tom Riddle/ You know who/ He who must not be Named’s Horcruxes. They go to an “inferri” lake and Dumbledore drinks the “potion”.

At the end of the story so many unexpected things happen! I would definitely recommend this book!

You're Mine Captain

The book I read is You’re Mine Captain by Geronimo Stilton.

This book is about how Geronimo saves two aliens when their ship breaks down.Geronimo lets them on his spaceship and goes to their home planet, Flurk The Queen falls in love with Geronimo. Geronimo’s cousin Trap does a magic on the Queen’s crown, but the Queen’s crown is not where Trap put it. The Queen has a golf tournament to see which one she would marry.

Whoever loses gets thrown in the flurk (boiling hot cheese). Geronimo’s nephew had the Queen’s crown and he found it in Nova’s room.

Geronimo is lucky because his nephew had the crown and they found it before he was thrown in the flurk.

I think this book is really good so you should read it.

Freckle Juice

The book I have been reading is Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. The main character is Andrew Marcus. He wants to have freckles like Nicky Lane.

There is a girl named Sharon who’s in their class. She has a secret recipe for Andrew to get freckles. Andrew decides to try Sharon’s secret recipe.

This book is good and I really would recommend it to anyone that would enjoy pranks and funny jokes. Even though Sharon was very mean, trying to get money from everybody with and without freckles, it was still a good book.

I am Pusheen the Cat

The book I read is “I am Pusheen the Cat” by Claire Belton. This book is about a fat, food loving house cat named Pusheen. She loves to lay down, relax, and she secretly loves food! I loved     when Pusheen is super fancy or when Pusheen and Stormy, her sister, are playing Kitty Adventures!!!!

The most important parts in the whole book are the funny quotes by Pusheen:

“Home is where my butt is” 

“My beach essentials Donuts, Cake, Pizza, Bacon”

“I love snuggles”

“Cat Wizards“

In the book, Pusheen and Stormy go on some Kitty Adventures in places such as Cat-Mountain and they find the Cat-Diamond!

I loved this book and you should read it!

Treasure Island

I read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. The book is about Jim Hawkins (the main character) who sets sail in this exciting adventure story. Jim goes to treasure island where treasure is buried. He is smart because he knows when the pirates are injured or not.

There was an old seaman who stayed at the Admiral Benbow, Jim Hawkins’ home. He died and he had a key around his neck. Jim and his mom took the key and went to his room and opened a chest and in that chest there was a map that leads to treasure on Treasure Island and Jim goes there. Jim is on the ship heading to Treasure Island when he hears people talking. Jim is hiding in an apple barrel and they say that they might overthrow the ship! FInally, Jim is on the Island that has the treasure and he is in the stockade that is on the island. Then there is an attack on the stockade from pirates!

So I really liked the book because it had a lot of adventure. I would totally recommend the book to others!

The book I am reading is Pretty Little Secrets. It is a Pretty Little Liars book, but the christmas  version, by: Sara Shepard. This book is like the show PLL (Pretty Little Liars). It’s about 4 girls who got stalked by A- but they think A- is dead but A- is not. They think Ali is dead but she isn’t so everyone thinks she’s dead even her parents think she’s dead. So every body is so sad that Ali is “dead” and the only person who knows Ali is not dead is A-. So A-’s been stalking them for a while.

Aria got married because she didn’t want her ex BF now that they are dating to get arrested because he did something bad to save animals. So Aria got married to him and then they went to a show with panthers and he stole them to let them free. Aria didn’t think that was a good idea. So they just left them in the cages and went back to their hotel.                                                                                     

Then on to Emily, her mother wanted her to spy on these three girls so they call them the “Merry Elves” they ruin Christmas decorations and put them in a box on the tennis court. Her mom wanted her to pretend to be one of them.

Now on to Hannah, she went to a fat camp and liked this guy that was the person that was teaching them. Then there was this girl that liked him too that was also in the fat camp. They both agreed that they would stop liking him and would leave him alone when the girl went behind Hannah’s back and dated him anyway.

Now on to Spencer, her older sister brought home a boyfriend. Spencer kissed him and her sister walked in as he kissed her.  His name is Wren and he still likes her but Spencer’s parents won’t let them date so they are doing it behind there back. Melissa, her sister, found out so they are not talking. Spencer hates her sister because she always is better than her Spencer got an A and Melissa got a A+.

That is the story By: Sara Shepard  I would highly recommend it! Hope you like!

Don't Sit on My Lunch!

The name of my book is Ready Freddy Don’t Sit On My Lunch.  It is by Abby Klein.  This book was about Freddy and Freddy’s sister who was laughing at him. Freddy was getting mad because people were picking on him.They were picking on him because he is small and he wants to tryout for the hockey team.

My book was funny because they were goofing off at school during lunch. Freddy’s lunch got squished when Max sat on it. They were challenging each other to go to hockey tryouts to see who would make it on the team.

I liked the book because it was funny. The funniest part was when Max said to Freddy ”move over whimp” at lunch to tell him to move over. It wasn’t very nice though. I would recommend people read this book to get a good laugh.

Who Was Abraham Lincoln?

I read a book on Abraham Lincoln, it was about his life as a child and President. Abraham was born February 12, 1809 in a crude log cabin In Kentucky. Abraham was born poor, and got very little schooling.

This Biography is based on how he was raised, and how he became president. Abraham had rivalry between his siblings. His name was Stephen Douglas. The Rivalry was over the Kansas - Nebraska Act. Because Abraham wanted the blacks to have equal rights as the whites, where Douglas did not.

My opinion about the book is that it’s really cool for someone who wants to learn about Abraham’s background. There is also a memorial after him, and he appears on Mount Rushmore. I would definitely recommend the book, everyone will find that it’s very interesting.

Hatchet

l read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It’s about a boy named Brian Robeson and he is the main character. Brian is very brave. He stayed in the woods until a helicopter flew over him and landed to pick him up. He made shelter, had a lake in front of him, and got berries to eat.

   

Brian is stuck in the woods because his plane crashed in the woods. He had 20 dollars in his pocket. He used it to start the fire. He ran through the woods to find food and shelter. Brian was lucky because he had a lake in front of him for water. Before he found berries, he drank as much water as he could.

 I would recommend it to others because it has very big details and sounds cool and sad at the same time because Brian was scared and brave. I loved the book so much want to read the other books by Gary Paulsen.
