1. Quantum Leap The Novel

By Ashley McConnell

2. A guy named Sam who is part of an experimental project accidentally “leaps” into the body of a guy named Bob who will get blamed for a roller coaster accident that will happen 3 days from now. Sam has to try and stop the roller coaster accident. Other wise the alternative for Bob is getting put into an asylum because in the alternative option they think he is a danger to himself and to others. A lot of people think that Sam is crazy because he supposedly talks to himself but he is actually talking to a hologram that is invisible to everybody but him.

3. The movie that reminds me of this book is called Doom. In the movie Doom there is this futuristic transport called the Arc and then a team of space marines get transported through the Arc to the planet Mars. There is a science experimental research and developmental facility in which they are required to clean up a man made alien infestation. Only one space marine survived the mission.

4. I would choose Matthew Roderick to play Sam/Bob Because he seems like the perfect fit for the part because he can be very funny and serious.

5. The main character has black hair and so do I. And because we are both handy and we like to help people out.

1. House of thunder By: Dean Koontz
2. This girl is still in the hospital and she knows there lying to her now so shes going to try and escape but shes afraid they will see her and she doesn't know whos all working against her so she's planning everything out right now.
3. It reminds me of the Texas Chainsaw Masacre because all these weird people are lying pretending there good people when there really bad they want to kill her.
4. Hallie barry because she does a good job acting in suspenseful movies.
5. If i think something bad is going on or going to happen i go with my instincts and get away from that place and it seems like she is the same way.

Last Chance Texaco

Last Chance Texaco by Brent Hartlinger

I'm not very far into the book yet. I'll I know so far is that this girl name Lucy is in the foster care system. Her parents died when she was about 6 or 7. She has moved to many other foster homes before. The one she is at right now is a really big one. She has meet one girl there that she has become friends with.

This book reminds me of that one movie with the little red hair girl that is an orphan. I think her name is Anne but I'm not sure. Mrs. Smith I think you know which one I'm talking about.

What actress could play Lucy's role is a hard one. I'll have to say either Miley cryus or Miranda Cosgrove. I just said those took because I picture Lucy with black hair and both have black hair.

The only way I can relate to this book is how her parents died. They died in a car accident and so did my grandma. :(

Monica, May 7, Dear John

1. Dear John; Nickolas Sparks

2. John and Savannah are hanging out a lot more and they have been going on dates and stuff. Every time they would see each other Savannah always told him that she wanted to meet his dad. So there last date before they went anywhere they went to see his dad.

3. They have a movie called Dear John, but another movie that I think of is A Walk to Remember. Because they fall in love and stuff. John and Savannah are going to be apart and and A Walk to Remember the girl dies and they would be together everyday anymore.

4. I really can't connect other than I believe in true love and blah blah blah. John and Savannah are people that like to be outside and stuff and be active and so do I.

1. One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies by Sonya Sones.

2. In my book there is a girl named Ruby and she is forced to go and live with her dad all the way in L.A. because her mom dies. Ruby is very scared about going and living with her dad because this will be the first time she ever meets her dad. Ruby's dad is a very famous actor, and she tries to hid from people that he is her dad because she doesn't want people to treat her differently because of him. She is also very depressed because she doesn't get to see her boyfriend or any of her friends because she lives so far away from them!

3. The Last Song, because in The Last Song the kids were kinda forced to go live with their dad during the summer kinda like Ruby is forced to live with their dad, and they really didn't no their dad before they moved in with him..

4. Cameron Diaz, because that is her neighbor.

5. I can kinda relate to her because I have never really been close to my dad so I kinda no how weird it would be to be forced to move it with my dad.

Knights of the Hill Country

Knights of the Hill Country by: Tim Tharp

Hampton is a star football player in high school that is playing in his senior year and if they win this game the win be undefeated for 5 years. They win the game and him and some friends go out to eat after the game.

This book reminds me of Friday Night Lights, the panthers on Friday Night Lights aren't undefeated but they are a good football team that tries winning state football.

I would use the Rock as the main character in my book if I could, even though he is an older guy he is built big like a football linebacker like Hampton is.

I can relate to Hampton because we both like football and play the same position.

A WALK TO REMEMBER

A Walk To Remember By Nicholas Sparks

jamie and her so called lover go to a dance and jamie's dad is questioning her date about everything because he doesn't really like his side of the family. so i dont think they have much to say to each other because they are completely different.

Well this weird crazy book already has a movie to it and its a lot better than the boring old dumb book. The movie is mostly the same as the book but the book goes into to much detail

Shane west And mandy Moore i think would be good characters in this movie because they are good with each other

Landon has brown hair and i have brown hair

5-7 response

1. Title and author
2. Briefly summarize what's going on in your book.
3. Name another book, movie or tv show that reminds you of the book you are reading. Don't give up! There's something out there that you can compare your book to. What is similar to the book you reading and the other book, movie, etc.?
4. If you had to choose an actor/actress to play the main character in your book, who would you choose? WHY??
5. Make a personal connection to your book. How, in some way, can you relate to a character, an event, or something that is going on in your book. Be creative! Don't just say, "The main character is a boy and so am I." That will not work!

Wow! I'm horrible at monitoring this blog :)

Well, I suppose since it's been over a month since our last posting, we should probably get at it again. It seems like we have so much other stuff to do that I put the blog as our last priority, but I do think it's a good way to talk about your books to the whole class and get ideas for other books you may be interested in.
For your posting by Friday, March 12, answer the following questions:
1. First of al, give a short summary of your book.
2. Where is the setting of your book? If there are multiple settings, list them all. Setting includes place and time period.
3. List the conflicts in your book. Who is having a problem(s) in your book?
4. Make a prediction about how you think your book will end. If you are reading non-fiction, explain why you chose to read about this person and/or event.
Thanks!

Damage - A.M. Jekins

1. I Believe that this book is credulous because alot of the stuff goes on in this happens in real life everyday.

2. The major action in my book is the star football player trying to live life going through depression and all day problems, and i am enjoying the book so far.

The house of Thunder

My book is The house of Thunder by Dean Koontz. I think this is a believable story because nothing that couldn't happen for real has happened yet. There's a girl named Susan in the hospital and doesn't know how she got there or what happened to her. When she was younger her boyfriend got murdered. She starts being able to walk around the hospital because she is recovering well, and she thinks she sees the men that murdered her boyfriend. There names aren't the same as she remembers. Susan is almost positive these are the men she knows as murderers. The major action in " The House of Thunder" is the men that she thinks are the ones her murdered her boyfriend are coming back to kill her for sending them away to prison. I love the action in this book it keeps me wanting to read. I like the amount of action in the book because it keeps you thinking about what might happen.

Wrestling Sturbridge

My story is believable, because it has been only about wrestling so far. So far the book hasn't had any action, and yes I wish there was more.

A child Called "It"

A Child Called "It" is about this kid that get abused by his mother. I believe this book is believeable, because this kid is getting abused and a lot of kids out there are getting abused and I could see it happening by the way the auther tells the story. Not only I think its believable it really did happen.

The main thing is this kid that was not abused before and his two brothers, Father, Mother, and him were a perfect family. Then very quickly his mother changed and started to abuse him and not feed him when he didn't get his chores done or anytime he didn't do what she wanted him to do. His brothers where not abused but he was. They could not talk to him. I like the action because I don't like when people just talk in a book and its not confusing.

My book is about a boy named leo a boy who life is normal before a new girl came to school whos name is Stargirl. Stargirl is not a "normal" person i would say because she likes playing the ualele in the lunch room and she has a pet rat named cinnomen. She aslo likes to think out of the box for things like seeing things in the world that no one else could see. I think this book could use some more action in it because I like action but for the most part its a good book. The only action in it I I would say is that you are wondering how is Stargirl, the most weirdest person you could ever meet, change someones life so extremly on how they look at things in the world.

Rainbow Boys by Alex Sanchez.

I am reading the book Rainbow Boys. I think this book is very credible, because there are a lot of people that either no that they are gay or they think they are gay. And for anybody its gotta be hard to come out to the people that you love because you think they might judge you. There is really not that much action in my book. It just mostly talks about what the guys are going through and how are it is to try to fit in when the people around you don't think its right for you to be gay, and Kyle just came out to his mom and dad about him being gay. His dad and him aren't that close anymore because of it. They often get into fights about it.

Jason and his girlfriend broke up and he told her that he thinks he might be bisexual. Him and Kyle went to the movies and they held hands during the movie, so Jason is a little confused about if he likes Kyle or if he just wanted to see what it was like to hold another guys hand.

Nelson likes Kyle a lot but he doesn't want to tell him that because they are best friends and Nelson doesn't want to mess that up. He wants to be more then just friends with Kyle but he knows that will never happen.

I think this book is a very good book and I really like it! :]

January 27 entry 1

I am reading a book called the light in the forest it is about this boy who kidnapped and raised by indians. But when there is a Delaware contract agreement between the Delaware's and the indians. The boy true son must go back to his biological family and at first he does not get along with any of his biological family. But soon afterwards his younger brother Gordie soon wins his respect and admiration. Twice so far true son has tried to escape but has been caught both times by his uncle wilse and the second time is almost choked to death by his uncle wilse for seeking revenge for his indian friend little crane but half arrow his indian cousin butts into true son's uncle wilse. Afterwards true son and and half arrow try to scalp true son's uncle wilse.

The Return of the Indian Lynne Reid Banks

My book is the Return of the Indian and, I don't think it really is credible. Some reasons I don't think is credible is: They are magical toys that come to life, the toys can talk and there is no such thing as magical creatures. The action in my book is done because Patrick brought soliders alive and now they are fighting each other. I think its pretty dumb, its not like the first one at all...

Blogger entry 26 jan.26

Candy’s I like..... i like hershey bars but with out the almonds because they are not the good also like the cookies and cream chocolate bars. I love twizzlers one time we got this 1 pound bag of them and i was at my cousins and we ate them all and out 2-3 hour and they were delicous and i ate most of them because i couldn’t stop. I can’t wait tell i can get more.

Last Shot

I am reading a book called Last Shot and it's about this kid named Stevie Thomas who wins a writing contest and gets the prize of going to the Final Four in New Orleans. Stevie meets the second place winner name Susan Carol, she lives in North Carolina and loves Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils. Hoops, a sports writer is Stevie's guide, he takes Stevie around and they watch Duke practice and then go to the press conferences. After sitting in the press conferences for about 2 hours Stevie and Susan Carol go walk around the arena. They are walking and Stevie see's his idol Chip Graber, a guard from Minnesota State University. They hide behind a garbage can and hear Chip being blackmailed by an athletic trainer. He is told to win the semi-final game and blow the Championship game against Duke, if he does this he will get a million dollars and his dad will get a raise, his dad is the coach. I think this story is believable and think it could happen. The major action is having Stevie and Susan find out more information on the blackmail, I like the action because you never know what's going to happen.

question, 1-25

Here are a couple questions to respond to regarding the book you are currently reading.

1) Is this a credible (believable) story? Why or why not?

2) What is the major action in your book? Are you enjoying the action or do you wish there was more? Why or why not?
