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.

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!
