The boys start the war

The boys start the war

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

****1/2

I have finished a book called 'The boys start the war' by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. It is a funny and a nice book because it is filled with pranks which I quite enjoy reading. This isn't in the 'suggested reading book and it didn't even win the Newbery Medal but my sister's 4th Grade Teacher recommended it and her friends recommended it too. Well, I thought it was just a unenjoyable book but I turned out to be mistaken.

This book started by the author introducing the four Hatford boys: Jake, Josh, Wally, and Peter-- and the three Malloy girls: Eddie, Beth, and Caroline. Jake and Josh are twins and are in sixth grade with Eddie and Beth is in fifth grade while Wally and Caroline are in fourth grade. Peter is in second grade. First, the Hatford boys does a prank by pouring dead stuff (fish, birds, and gross stuff). The Malloy girls takes revenge by Eddie and Beth decided to bury Caroline in the river and pretend that Caroline is dead. The Hatford boys were scared because they thought that the dead stuff killed her.

The pranks and high jinks(highjinks) continue through the book; like the Malloys scaring the Hatfords when the boy's parents were gone. The Hatfords tease the girls by stealing Caroline's unappropriate drawing of her teacher, Mrs. Applebaum.

My favourite part of the book was when the Hatford's going up to Beth's window by a ladder and scaring them by wearing a disgusting, monster mask. Beth was scared to death so she screamed like a lunatic. Eddie came to the rescue by catching the Hatford boys and taking their flashlight. It was also really funny when Caroline went up to the Hatford boy's house and notices a clothesline. Caroline stole one underwear which looked like one of the boy's underwear and turns out to be Mr. Hatford's underwear.

I would give 4 and a half stars out of 5.

Bud, not Buddy

I have finished a interesting book called 'Bud, not Buddy' by Christopher Paul Curtis. I have chosen this book because this book was at the 'Recommended Book' list in front of the Assignment book and {PLUS} it won the Newbery Medal. One of my friends read this book and also read another Newbery medal book by the same author called 'The Watsons go to Birmingham' and he loved the book. I think Newbery Medal books are fabulous and I find them very enjoyable.

The main character Bud, lived in an orphanage. One day, one of the caseworkers came in the orphange and arranged a foster home for him. He had to live with the boy named Todd Amos and his parents. His family treated him badly by hitting him and making him injured. He runs away from their house even though he was locked inside (by breaking out from the window). He meets a man who became his friend and his name was Lefty Lewis. He stayed with him for a few days and went off to a place called Grand Rapids to look for his father (Herman E. Calloway) who didn't die. He realizes that Herman owns a band with few of his band mates, Miss Thomas, Steady Eddie, and lots more. When he told Herman his mother's name (Angela Janet), Herman realizes that Angela is Herman's daughter-- which meant that Herman is Bud's grandfather. This was the most astonishing part for me. This story ends up by Herman's band mates giving Bud a saxaphone which sounded great and made him join the band.

My favourite part of this book was when Bud pouring a hot water at the bully boy, Todd Amos at his pajama pants to make it seem that he wet his pants when he was sleeping. It was quite funny and I almost laughed as I was reading this part. I felt very enjoyable that Bud did a nice revenge on Todd who hit him to death until he was bleeding. Well, I have another favourite part: It was when Bud and Herman realizes that they are a relative. I felt seriously surprised at this part and read it over and over because it was not what I expected.

I think this book is called Bud, not Buddy because when Bud was young, his mother told him to never let anyone call him Buddy because Buddy is a dog's name or a name that someone's going to use when they're being false-friendly. His mother named him bud because bud is a flower and a little fist of love waiting to unfold and be seen by the world.

I would give this book 10 out of 9 which means it's still a great book.

Woeful Second World War

I've just finished a book called 'Woeful Second World War'. It is writen by a author called Terry Deary. This book is one of the 'Horrible Histories' series. He has writeen many historic books like book about pirates, warriors, knights, egyptians, romans, vikings and lots more... This book is a nice book with a few comics inside.

This book doesn't really talk about what happened on the war but it usually talks about the relations of people and about one person's experience on the war. There are some cool quizzes on this book and I learned some stunning and astonishing facts on the quizzes. One of the example is: If you were late for work in a German factory, you could be sentenced to three months in prison. This book also talks cruelty on the war and about animals of the war. This book doesn't talk much of the timeline or the process of the war.

Something shocking to me at this book was that Italian solders fighting the Germans at the time of Russian winter had cardboard boots. But when they get frozen and couldn't take them off, the officer orderd the other soldiers to saw the legs off and put the legs on the ovens. I thought that was disgusting and cruel.

I thought this book was nice but i was a little disappointed that it didn't talk much about the process and the conclusion of the war. I would give this book a 3 stars out of 5.

Indian in the Cupboard

I finished reading a book called 'Indian in the Cupboard'. It is a fascinating book and I really loved it. This book was way better than I expected. After reading a few pages of the book, I thought I would get bored of this book but it was completely different from my expectations. I couldn't let the book go and I had to concentrate while reading this book. It was very enjoyable.

It's about a boy named Omri who got an toy Indian for his birthday present by his friend, Patick. His little brother, Gillion, gave him an cupboard with a key for his birthday while his other brother gave him a skateboard, what he really wanted. He didn't really think it the cupboard was

nice. He thought it was very boring... However, he put the toy Indian inside the cupboard and that night, he heard a noise from the cupboard... and the toy Indian became alive. His name was Little Bear. Patrick also makes a cowboy named Boone alive from Omri's cupboard. Little Bear became friends (finally, because they were enemies first) and went to school and risked theirselves because they wanted to keep the Indian thing a secret (and Patrick showed Little Bear to the headmaster). Finally at the end of the book, Omri buys Little Bear an girl Indian and makes the girl Indian alive. Little Bear wanted to have a marriage with her so he returned home, forever. That part was the saddest.

Well, my favourite part of the book is when he first realizes that the Indian became alive. I really never expected that these things would happen but it did!!! I also liked the part when Boone drew a fascinating picture on art class, and the teacher was astonished because there was a microspic drawing on Omri's paper. (Actually, she had to bring a magnifying glass to examine the drawing).

I think the author of this book, Lynne Reid Banks did a surprisingly amazing job of making the readers get into the book and describing all the words and using nice vocabulary. I think she is a great author and I really wanted to read the next 3 books of this series. (If it comes out).

P.S. I would definitely give 5 stars out of 5 on this book. I recommend every one to read this book. I bet they would enjoy it.

Characterization on Diary of a Wimpy Kid

In this book, the main character and the protagonist is a boy named Greg. The author, Jeff Kinney describes Greg in a very nice and detailed way and makes the book more interesting and funny. He is a very funny author and comes up with nice ideas of making the book fabulous and attractive.

On page 120, Jeff Kinney makes Greg's soccer coach, Mr. Litch a very fierce and strick person. When Greg and his friends had a drink of water and was trying to go to the soccer field, Mr. Litch suddenly yelled - "Get your butts over here!!!"
This shows the readers that Mr. Litch has a bad temper at his students.

On page 143, Greg wore his Speedo underpants because he didn't have any clean ones. On the changing room at P.E. class, his pants went down and other students made fun of him and teased him. " People laughed, "Ha Ha!" and Greg had nothing to say except for "Whup!". Jeff Kinney introduced Greg as a character who always gets in trouble and Greg gets bad things or unlucky things happen to him all the time. This situation shows that this is the main problem of the book.

On page 182, Greg's brother, Rodrick pushes Greg out to the corridor while Greg was only wearing the underwear by tricking him that Greg's crush, Holly Hills is right out there. The passage reads, "Before I realize it was a trick, Rodrick gave me a big shove, and I fell out of the door." Jeff Kinney introduces Rodrick as a mean and a bit cruel person to his brother. This shows that Rodrick is a antagonist, especially to his brother.

I think the reason that this book is fun and interesting is because Jeff Kinney describes well on making Greg getting in trouble. Greg is a funny character because he always comes out with weird ideas and it becomes a failure all the time. Jeff Kinney did a very nice job writing this book.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I just finished reading a book called 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. This book is by the author Jeff Kinney. There are four books of the series at the moment and the one I read was the third one.

It's about a boy called Greg and he always gets in trouble by the teacher, his friends, or especially, his own family. He has a little brother called Manny, who is very naughty and frustrating. He also has a big brother, Roddrick who is also mean and a little violent to him. All of his family is not smart and doesn't come up with good ideas or solutions if there is a problem.

I think this book is a very funny book and has lots of jokes in the book. I think the author did a very good job on making the reader laugh and he made the reader get into the book and concentrate.

My favourite part was when Greg tried to call his crush, Holly Hills. Every time he tries to call her, something gets wrong. For example, Rodrick blocked Greg from using the phone on the kitchen by pretending that he was using the phone and his mom used the phone just when Greg was calling Holly Hills. Holly Hill's mom answered the phone (Unluckily) and took an hour to find out who it was. It was funny because he never got to call her until the end of the book! (Poor Greg)... -.-


I would give a 5 star out of 5 for this book.

Earthquake in Indonesia

Since Indonesia is in the Ring of Fire, Indonesia usuallly gets lots of earthquakes. This earthquake occured on September 2nd, 2009 and the earthquake measured 7.4 on the Richter Scale.

This was my 3rd situation in the earthquake but I think this one was the strongest and the most dangerous earthquake. About 80? people got killed and a lot of people were missing. There were some roads cracked and some buildings falling down and getting damaged by this earthquake.The earthquake yesterday was 40km of the coast of Jasikmalaya. There were tsnami warnings in the radio because the earthquake occured from the sea.

At our school, there was a fairly large snake on the dining table. It came out of the hole because snakes can predict that the earthquake is going to occur. However, humans don't have the sense of predicting natural disasters so we can't do anything before the earthquake occurs.
