Independent Reading
Reading on your own is an important part of becoming a better reader. I expect you to read for 20-30 minutes a night. Tell me about what you are reading on your own. Explain the main conflict to me. Who is the protagonist(main character)? Remember, make your post no longer than two paragraphs.

I am reading the first book in the 'Kane Chronicles' called The Red Pyramid. The main Character role in this story is shared because it is tole equally by both kids- Sadie and Carter as they give their sides of what happened.
The main conflict is that two kids, descendent's of two of the most powerful Egyption gods. They have to fight a very powerful god all by themselves with their powers. Since they are dangerous everybody chases after them and they have a lot of battles on the way.
Jake I am reading the book called Scat. The main characters names are Marta, Nick, Mrs. Starch, Duane, and Dr. Dressler. The story so far takes place in the classroom and Duane's house. The class is currently taking a class trip to Black Vine Swamp.
At this point Duan has to write a 500 page essay on zits because of the one on his neck. When he finds this out he flips out and eats the teachers pencil out of her hand.
So far I like the book. I like the book because it is funny and entertaining.
In the book 39 clues the main charecters are amy and dan. It is about these two have to find 39 clues to become the greatest person in their family who ever lived. Everyone is trying to kill them because they think amy and dan have inside info.

The book I am reading is called Dr. Fraklin's Island by Ann Halam. The main conflict of the story is that two girls named Miranda and Semi crash land on an island. They think they are alone but then they stumble upon a mad scientist named Dr. Franklin. The main character of this story is a girl named Semi who is very shy and doesn't have a lot of friends but has to make friends and survive stranded on an island.
Even though I have only read about a third of the book so far I really seem to like it. I like it because you don't know what is going to happen next in the story.

Blood on the River is a book about a young, homeless boy in Europe. His mother dies and he has to try to live on his own.
He's untrustful and rude to almost everyone, but when he is to serve under a ship crew going to the "New world" or North America. As he starts to get friendly, people he care about die from harsh enviroments or killing of Native Americans. From those expirences, he grows up to be a admirealble captain.

I am reading a book called Prince Caspian from the Narnia Chronicals by C.S. Lewis. The main characters are Lucy, Edumund, Susan, Peter, and Prince Caspian. Right now I am at the part where Lucy, Peter, Edumund, and Lucy are escaping an isalnd.
In the book all the main characters have to fight Telibrehith (a human army) because they are driving away all the nice creatures. So they fight back.
I like this book because it is very clear and has magical creatures.
In my current book i am reading scat and the kids went on a feild trip and there was a fiere and they cant find the teacher
