Jordana
The Meanest Doll in the World
Chapter 8-End (Chapter 16)

The PJ Pals, the troll dolls, the cut-outs, and Annabelle, and Tiffany are targeted by Princess Mimi. The good dolls and the bad dolls have a "war." Afraid of getting exposed to the human world,the PJ Pals, the troll dolls, the cut-outs, and Annabelle, and Tiffany are forced to clean up Mimi's mess. The dolls are struggling to put the lid back on the The lizard's cage. Sandra Doll (Princess Mimi's friend) helps them put the top on the lizard cage. She helps them with other things too. When Tiffany and Annabelle where leaving, Princess Mimi stuck in to TJ's backpack secretly. When Mimi was discovered at Kate's house she got into a lot of mischief. THe second day she was there she went into doll state because Nora saw her jump off the book-shelf. The fun crafts and the dolls were happy that Mimi was gone.

This book was very good. The author had good descriptions so I could picture the story in my head. I wish the book had more to it because I want to know if Mimi went into PDS (Permanent Doll State) and if not what trouble she causes next.

In this part of the book, there's a lot going on. I think I left of where Anne says she wants to adopt the flock. I though they were going to be surprised, but they weren't It turns out that they kids didn't really take her seriously. They were too busy thinking about Iggy might finding his real parents.The flock eventually tracked Iggy's home down. When he rang the door bell, two people who look just like Iggy were at the door. They started talking. And the mom was too shocked to believe. The went on talking. Finally, when something interesting came up, Iggy's "mom" said Iggy had a birth mark on his right leg. I turned out he did and he stayed there. The flock members were crying. The next day at school,the thing that they all thought would happen happened. Erasers. They all ran outside and flew away. They they remembered that they forgot total. They went back to Anne's house and got him. Then Iggy came back.
This part of the book was OK. It got pretty boring though.At some points in the story i just wanted to skip to the good part. There was a lot of stuff in the part i read so it was hard to summarize.

Alexandra
The Mother-Daughter Book Club
Page 10-53

All the girls, Megan, Jess, Emma and Cassidy have to join a book club that their moms thought of. All the girls think it's a really bad idea and want to leave. They have to read "Little Women" and Cassidy complains that it's too long. They have to read 60 pages each month, which the girls think is outragious. For the first real meeting, Cassidy's mom volenteers her home as the meeting place. Cassidy's mom decorates the house in tons of Halloween decorations and has everybody dress up in costumes. After the meeting, Cassidy has a Halloween party and invites tons of people over. She gets some boys, Emma and Jess to help her scare the "FAB FOUR". One of the boys, Zach, takes Megan and the other girls to a graveyard and there, Cassidy scares them with a ghoul mask and Jack-O-Lantern.

I think the book is very good so far. It's very descriptive, and I want to know what's going to happen next. I hope that the girls start to like the book club and start to become friends.

The Last Battle
C.S. Lewis
1-53

An ape named Shift and a donkey named Rainbow found a lion skin. The ape bosses the donkey around because he says he is smarter and tells the donkey to go fetch the lion skin out of the river. The donkey has no choice but to listen and he almost freezes to death. He gets the lion skin and Shift sews it to make the donkey look like Aslan. How weird is that? A donkey trying to be a great lion? So the donkey had to wear it even though he didn't agree with the idea. Everybody in Narnia thought the donkey really was Aslan and he made them slaves. The king Tirian and his pet unicorn said something clever and they banished the king. That's where I stopped. Right on the good part.

I think this is an okay book. It showed that animals, whether they talk or not, can be dumb sometimes. It was pretty interesting though. This is because the author made it so that I wanted to read on. All in all, it was okay.

Caleb

This book is about a boy named peak and his adventure trying to climb Everest. At first he was climing skyscrapers in NY but the police caught him. His famous climing dad came and brought him to Thailand and stayed there for 3 days. Peaks dad bought him a bunch of new equiptment. Then he flew to Nepal where Everest is. A sherpa named Zopa buys Peak used equiptment and gives all of his new stuff to a boy named Sun-Jo.

So far this seems like a good book and im interested in it suprisingly. Zopa seems like a good person and so does Sun-Jo.
