This week I read Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, and I thought it was okay. You see, I don’t enjoy romance, and this book is definitely under the genre of romance.

For ages 13 and up, this book has well developed  characters and interesting situations, but for me this book was a bit too unrealistically dramatic.  Shiver is a bit predictable I’m sorry to say. One of the things I liked about this book is how Maggie Stiefvater told it in the perspective of two different characters, Grace, a teenager that lives on the edge of the wolf filled forest and is having trouble keeping her friends, and Sam, a werewolf that absolutely hates being one. In Shiver werewolves are the main type of animals, Sam being one. Werewolves in this book are forced by nature to change during the winter, but Sam doesn’t want to change this year, or any other. Shiver isn’t that long, and I prefer longer books.

In all, this book was not that good, for me, not saying you won’t like it. You might, but if you don’t like romance, or the Twilight series which it is very much like,  you might not like this book.

Where the Wild Things Are is a movie that is hard to figure out the age group that the movie would be made for. There are some adult situations that go on, and mild language. The book is made for any age group, but mostly 0-5, in the movie it’s definitely made for an older audience. This movie is too violent and sad for 0-5, even though they still might like it. They probably grew up read the book, now the movie isn’t what their parent’s would like them to see.

I personally liked this movie even though if I had made it I would have some changes. My favorite part of the book, when Max’s(the main character) room get transformed into a forest. This does not take place in the movie. In the book they say ‘Max made mischief of only one kind’ and in the movie, it’s much worse than that. He bits his mother, starts a snowball fight with his sister’s friends, runs away from home, stands on the table, breaks things, and lets snow in the house, (there is much more) and, for me, that’s not mischief of only one kind.

For those who grew up loving this book, I don’t recommend seeing the movie. Unless you are expecting the movie to be nothing like the book, which in most movies’ is the case. For those who have not read the book, you also may not want to watch the movie, for you may get the wrong idea about the book.

I’ve heard on many radio, and television broadcasts that they movie was horrible, and that you cannot make a movie out of a short children’s book. People made a movie, and it wasn’t that good. The broadcaster’s opinion was right.

This was the sort of movie that I don’t really care about. It just doesn’t catch my interest. Sorry. I think that maybe some people would enjoy this movie, one could be you. So if you think you still want to go see it, see it. I’m not going to stop you, you might like it. Or not.

Overall this movie is 50/50, so it’s your choice to see it or not.

Candor by Pam Bachorz is a very good book, in the perspective of a teen named Oscar Banks, who lives in Candor, Florida. He lives there with his father, it’s sort of a mystery to find out about his brother, Winston, and mother, Lucy. Candor is different than other towns though. All the kids are perfect, the are just what their parents want them to be. That’s because they subconsciously get messages delivered into their minds. These messages would tell them to do this or not. Oscar’s father, Campbell, makes up these messages, but Oscar has been there so long he can fight them. Everything changes when outlaw Nia comes to Candor.

I would say this book is 13+. I really loved it though. I think it is just my kind of book. It’s science fiction and a bit of horror. I don’t like horror but I love this book so not that much horror. Anyway this book is great and you should read it.

Here I am in sixth grade and I’m back on my fourth grade blog. It’s so much fun to have my blog back again!

So, now I’m in this book club where we read a book around every week and make a blog post about it. Today’s my first day in the club so I haven’t got any thing on any book, but next week I will. I love books just like a lot of other people in this club. I’m a really fast reader, so the posts will be very descriptive (I might read it a few times). If I didn’t like the book that much it doesn’t mean you don’t have to everybody could like a different book than some one else.

I think doing this blog will be a whole lot of fun, I hope you love it.

I love The Wizard Of Oz Movie. I’s one of my favorite moives! The book and the movie is reeeeaaaallllllly different from the book. In the book Dorthy has silver slippers go to this link to find more different things. I love all the charaters, even though my favorite would have to be Toto. I think that is a very cool idea of having the dog kept in it if he was not I don’t seewhy I would like it. Oz sounds like a nice place and pretty too! Even though there are soooooooooooo many changes I think thy are for the better.

I think the Wizard of Oz is better even though this is a very hard question, for me. I like Dorothy better though she seems more adventurous then Alice. I like longer book and I like long books.

I am very sad to write this post. This is the post I’m dreading to write for it is the LAST! I wish it was not. I mean I had sooooooooooooo much fun writing! I wish I could still do it! I want the 5th grade teachers to do it too. I really hope they will. It was sooooooooooo much fun blogging with you! It was more fun seeing all your comments though. I also really liked expressing my feelings and letting the whole world know that I’m there. I am me. I rock. I wish 4th grade could last, but it never will. I wish there was a way to put a little frowny-face. Oh yeah :~( or should I do :[ (a lot of  people like that one). Have you ever blogged before it’s really fun! There’s a realllly hard way to do it so don’t try. So if you don’t go on and try! It will almost be this fun! I don’t think thats possible! This is going to be the last post I write because they will shut it down. You can still see what I wrote though you just can’t comment, and I just cant write. I hope if any 5th grade  teachers might teach at this school then please hear me that I want to do it again. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Thats all. No more. It’s overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

We are done with Alice. It was a very long prosess. If you want to follow me in it then you should have read it insted. Well I guess I’ll give you a link to all of them and then I’ll EXPLAIN It to you. Here’s the link. Now I need to talk to you about it. In our first step we( That means c16kd and I) we read and saw moives about Alice and Wonderland and moives from that time. In our second step we wrote a script. In our third step we drew pictures for the comic and scaned them in. In the fourth section we used Comic Life. Now we had a big Tea Party.

On Friday we were interviewed by our little school buddies.  Some of the same questions were the same as those we used for our oral history interview. The little school is only a few blocks away, so most of the traveling part was crazy talk.   I looked forward to seeing my little buddy again. It is our last time to see them until when they’re in the big school that is.
