Ice Cream

Ice cream is a yummy snack that is often eaten after meals. It comes in different colors and flavors.
It's sometimes eaten in a cone and sometimes in a dish. Ice cream almost always melts into a milky
drippy liquid. My favorite type of ice cream is blue moon i have no idea why it just is. Whats your
favorite type of ice cream and why? Please comment and remember don't eat to much ice cream!

Has anyone read this?
How about this one?
One more...
I think these all look intriguing.  Some may be more for the middle school student than 5th grade, but I'm interested in trying them out.
Now, off to read:
Yes, that's right.  The companion novel to Savvy.
Thanks, Matt :)

A Whole Nother Story

Hi guys,
I just tried that animoto and needless to say- it came out great.
As promised, here's what I created:

Here's a summary
Mr. Ethan Cheeseman is on the run from- it seems everybody.
This book captures his adventures with his three polite, relatively
odor-free children, Hairless, psychic dog Pinky, and snarky sock puppet Steve. Running from evil spies, corporations, ect. isn't easy, but if you have the brilliant scientist Ethan Cheeseman at your side, it's not such a bumpy ride. Every one wants his newly invented Luminal Velocity Regulator (LVR). Who wouldn't want a time machine? The Cheesemans encouter a cowboy poet, a traveling circus sideshow and more!
A Whole Nother Story is a must read!!!

Saxby Smart Private Detective in The Curse of The Ancient Mask and Other Case Files

Tonight, I kind of finished reading the first part of Saxby Smart Private Detective in The Curse of The Ancient Mask and Other Case Files. I love this book because Saxby is a detective and he solves mysteries and asks you questions like you are his sidekick. This book really gets you thinking. I love the humor and characters in this book. This is just book 1 of the series. I just started reading it today. I checked this book out at the library. I was never really in to mystery books but now I am. I hope to be reading more of this series, and will post more when I finish reading the entire thing.

I Talked about the book A Whole Nother Story in class today. This story is about Mr. Ethan Cheeseman and his three polite, relatively odor-free children. Throughout the book, the author, Dr. Cuthbert Soup is doling out unsolicited advice. I find this advice to be quite humorous. Keep your eyes out for I am creating a book trailer. Coming soon!

I love the book Fablehaven because it is a mix of fantasy and mystery
I know it is a creepy cover but you know what they say, you can't judge a book by it's cover. Anyway this book is about twins Kendra and Seth going to their Grandpa's house while there parents go onto a cruse line. At first they think that their Grandpa's house is boring, until they find something that would change their lives forever. Milk. Now I bet your thinking "what is so important about milk?" well, I'll tell you. the milk is magic. It allows Kendra and Seth to see magical creatures, like faries and golems, then they realise that their Grandpa's house isn't as boring as they thought. Then they are pulled into a journey that will depend on them to protect their Grandpa's humble sanctuary, and everything that lives there. Along the way they will solve smaller mysteries, like what happened to their dear Grandma,who disappeared a long time ago.
If you think this book is to serious, don't worry, their are funny parts in the book to. I would highly recommend this book to everyone because it is a mixture of many genres.
I hope you like the book!

Lemon

Hey it's Maddy from AZ. This is the introduction to my new story...let
me know what you think!
Lemon

Why, hello. My name is Lemon. Yes, that's my real name, Lemon.
I am an 8year old living in a small town in China. Nothing much ever
happens in our quaint, little town. I am pretty much the odd ball of
the place, but I am also rather timid.
I go to school and play with my friends, I am a normal kid.
Except for my one set-back, extreme anxiety. I have a fear of swimming,
my father drowned a few years back. I haven't been the same since. So,
it's just me and Mama in our quaint, little Chinese town.
My school is called Wet Bend elementary. Why it's called Wet
Bend, no one knows. The man who started the school died at the age of
46, before anyone asked him. Wet Bend is small, it only has about 400
kids. Everyone knows everyone else's name. I love it at Wet Bend. I fit in well there.
At the end of the school year, my mother made an announcement.
" We're going on vacation!" she screamed.
" We're going to go on a plane!" now it was my turn to scream!
We were going on vacation, but what I didn't know then was that this
vacation would be one that changed my life forever.
