Let's face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to tell that to Greg's father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other "manly" stuff. Of course, Greg is able to sidestep his father's efforts to change him. But when Greg's dad threatens to send him to military academy, Greg realizes he haqs to shape up... or get shipped out.
Whatver you do, don't ask what Greg Heffley how he spent his summer vacation, because he doesn't want to talk about it. As Greg enters the new school year, he's eager to put the past three months behind him... and one event in particular. Unfortunately for Greg, his older brother, Rodrick, knows all about the incident Greg wants to keep under wraps. But secrets have a way of getting out... especially when a diary is involved.
"I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons" Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illstrator Jeff Kinney introduces us an unlikely hero. As Greg says in his diary: "Just don't expect me to be all 'Dear Diary' this and 'Dear Diary' that."
Here is another delicious book by author, Louis Sachar. The book is surprisingly composed of thirty mini-stories, each lasting no longer than 4 pages. Below are the chapters.
as she kept getting into trouble. But someone wants to spoil things for her. And they're not going to let her forget how she got her nickname! I don think there are these books in the school library. I bought mine in FAHASA. They have the whole series!
This series of books are amazing. I've only read 2 of the books "Calling the Shots" and " Fogging Over". Which are the 4th and 5th books of the series. And now I have begun the 6th book "Fighting Fit". If you are able to find the 1st, 2nd or 3rd book, can you please tell me.
If your into adventure this is a book for you (well it's for girls). It's about this 13 year-old-girl that is an angel. She died of a car accident the day after her birthday. She could never imagine what heaven would be like, but now she knows. Its like a whole different world. Still school, shops, gyms, cafes.......Although she is still able to see earth by going on field trips at the angel academy. The academy trains angels to become guardian angels, to help humans. She has already been assigned on a mission (in book 4) but some field trips can also turn into a mission (in book 5). There is so much to discover in these books and when you start you can't stop (well I can't).
Want to find out more? Look in the library, I don't know where you can find them but i have book 4, 5 and 6. In a collection called the "The Cosmic Collection".
There are many books about this adorable, hilarious girl who always wanted to explore new things together with her moods! I think their are in the library...
Judy Moody saves the world was the first book that I ahd read about her. She was very excited when her class was learning about the world's enviroment. She got a little bit too far when she trew away everything in her house that was made out of trees from the rainforest. But she came up with a great idea to save the world from pollution, she decided that her school will recycled thousands of plastic bottles. It's time for her to HEAL THE WORLD!!!
Doctor Judy Moody was also a good book. Judy is now interested to be a doctor. She wanted to set an operation on Mrs Green Pickle(which is a pickle). She showed off that she will not get sick but at the end when a doctor visited their school. Judy Moody got chicken pox so that BAD ENOUGH FOR HER. But she always get better when her friends help her. Read the book for some more details.
Judy Moody-Around the World in 8 and a half days was an interesting book about friendship and teamwork. There is a new girl in school called Amy Namey. Judy became friends with her and she totally forgot about her old friends: Rocky, Frank and Pearl. Meanwhile, there was a class project and Judy and her old friends had to do about Italy. But she spent most of the time with Amy. How will she help her team now... :(
Judy Moody got to have a chance to actually see college. Her teacher said that she needed a tutor. Her tutor was at college and she was called Chloe. Chloe helped Judy be good at maths by playing some maths games. Judy had fun at college, plus, her maths skills had improved. She even started to dressed like Chloe. But her friends wanted to join college too... ;)
I think that Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix is one of the best book that I have read although i haven't read the 6 and 7Th i think that from the first one and the fifth one,I think that the fifth one is the best. I think that it is the best because in the fifth one there is suspense and action.JKRowling really shows who Harry Potter is However in the first or second it only tells the story and the problem.I haven't seen the movie yet but i think the book is better like all the other ones.
Kinney writes it as he is Greg and it his own diary (journal). I think this is a good style of writing as you know what their opinion on something is. If he wrote it as first person then it wouldn't be that good of a book and it wouldn't catch the readers attention.
By the way there is also a 'Make your own Diary of a Wimpy Kid' which is the same style but lets you fill in YOUR opinion on something.
You might also like the DEAD FAMOUS series too. They are quite like those Horrible science and muderous maths but they are about famoous people in history. I don't blog much about fiction because I prefer non-fiction. The DEAD FAMOUS are also very funny. Check them out!!
Check out those Murderous Maths, Horrible History, Horrible Science or The knowlege series. They are abselutely amazing... ... Usually, history, geography and even math lessons may be boring but with these books, you learn more and enjoy yourselves. Check out some of the quizzes, plus, in on of the books called 'The Incredible Internet' shows you some very strange web pages. In primary, there should have been some of these books. Now, there are tonnes more. Check it out! Become a fan!!
New Moon is the second sequel of Twilight series. The story is about seventeen-year-old Bella Swan falling in love with a hot guy who turned out to be a one-hundred-and-six-year-old vampire. I think you probably know Twilight already and have also watched the movie. Anyway, here's a little information about the book:
On Isabella "Bella" Swan's 18th birthday, while unwrapping a gift from the vampire's family, she gets a paper cut. Jasper, the youngest vampire in the family was overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempted to attack Bella. For Bella's safety, Edward decides to breakup with her and move away from Forks, leaving Bella heart-broken. What will happen next? Well, you have to find out by reading the book !
After the success of Twilight, the movie won five awards from MTV Awards, ten awards from Teen Choice Awards and a nomination for Best Fantasy Film from Saturn Award. For its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, Twilight has made $69.6 million from 3,419 theaters! The next sequel, New Moon is no longer be directed by Catherine Hardwicke, it will be directed by Chris Weitz instead. This new movie also has new characters, Michael Sheen as Aro (the leader of a powerful Italian vampire coven known as the Volturi) and Dakota Fanning as Jane (a vampire who has the power to torture people with illusions of pain).
New Moon (the book) is in the library if you want to read the book and the movie will be out in theatres in November 2009.

Here is your structure to help you with your BIG , IMPORTANT essay on Stanley....
Structure of paragraphs
•Make a clear point about how Sachar presents Stanley at the start of the novel.
•Select a relevant quotation.
•Say what the quotation means and suggests about the character of Stanley.
•Choose an embedded quotation (the key word) from the quotation and explain what it suggests about (how) Stanley's character (has changed).
•Explain what the effect is on the reader- how are we supposed to feel about Stanley at this stage.
•THEN, IN THE SAME PARAGRAPH- WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED? (THINK HOW THIS QUESTION IS DIFFERENT TO THE LAST ONE!)
•That’s right, we need to make a point about Stanley later in the novel, find a quotation to support it and repeat the process above!
Structure of essay
•Introduction- say what you’re talking about and outline the main ways that you think Stanley has changed. •At least 3 paragraphs explaining (P.E.E.L) explain- so how many quotations will that be? •Conclusion- explain what you think Sachar’s intention was in presenting Stanley like this. What does he want us to think about him? Is there a message he’s trying to put across?
Hi I'm So Hyun. I think "Holes" is a very nice book. It is very interesting that there are a lot of stories mixed up.But the more interesting thing is that all the mixed up stories are all connected. I like all the different kinds of character and I'm very happy about Stanely's change.
I really like this books!!! Everything is fantastic!

Louis Sachar used short, dramtic sentences to show clearly what Bradley is feeling at that time. But instead of just writing "His stomache was churning", he used a simile "There were pain and agony, like a knot in his stomache..." Sachar wrote a word"tichter" betweem the 3 sentences, which was a speach from Carla that Bradley remembered, to make the reader desperately wants to know what Bradley is going to do next. They could also understand that Bradley could not forget Carla, although he tried to but it cause him pain.
That's what I think makes it so good, I haven't think of other ideas yet on what makes it so good. When I read up to that part I agreed that it was a brilliant sentence but could not know how..-_-
