 Dear Mrs. Zrihen

               I currently finished the book “the Spiderwick chronicles” by Tony Diterlizzi and Holly Black. This book is obviously a fantasy because that is what you said. The characters are the two twins, Jared and Simon, the older sister Mallory, and the mom Helen Grace. The Protagonist: Jared, Simon, Mallory, and Helen Grace (mom). The antagonist: scary creatures. It all started when the Grace family moved to a new house. From the outside the kids thought it was cool because it has an attic, and the house was huge. When the kids took their suitcases in the house, the walls were torn apart, the lamp on the ceiling looked like it was going to fall, and Jared heard something in the wall. When his sister and his brother came in the house their face was filled with disgust. Jared told them that he heard something in the walls. When they went to their rooms the floor was a mess, hidden in the dust of the floors was a little key to some room. As soon as Simon came in the room he was wondering why his brother was holding a strange key. Just as his sister came in the house after bringing in a jar of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches they went to search the walls for any hidden keyholes that would fit the key right. Simon found a little square-shaped elevator in the walls. His sister was wondering what that was. His sister said that, that elevator was too small for her and that one of the brothers will have to go. When the two brothers agreed that Jared would go he tried to fit in and he fit perfectly. As soon as the elevator started to move by the ropes his sister was pulling he kept on hearing the noise like a squirrel, (maybe that is what was making that noise) he thought. When the elevator stopped he found this room with a strange poem written on it “in a man’s torso you will find, my secret to all mankind, if false and true can be the same, you will soon know of my fame, up and up and up again, good luck dear friend”. He thought it meant that there is scary creatures outside. Just as he heard something in the darkness of the walls, he found some glasses, he put them on and was able to see the invisible creatures outside trying to get in the house!! He was wondering why that couldn’t come but then he realized that there is some kind of liquid on the grass forming a wall for the creatures not to come in, it only works for the humans to go through it. when the kids went to fight they won victory. I hope you enjoy reading this story.

Dear Mrs. Zrihen

        I am currently reading the book “dweeb” by Aaron Starmer. The book is fiction, the antagonist: none, the protagonist: Denton, Wendell, Eddie, Elijah, Bijay. The theme wasn’t really anything because it was talking about different people in different chapters. So far that I read was about when it was the first day of high school for Denton and he was started to get bullied. When it was time for gym class it was hard for Denton because he never played the games they play today in Florida than where he came from. When he came home from school he told his mom that it is too hard at high school, and his mom asked him how old would he rather be and he said that he rather be 43 years old so that he doesn’t have to go to school only easy work. The next person is Wendell who has an older brother named trend who has a girlfriend named Keisha. Wendell told him that he also wanted a girlfriend and his brother said that he has to wait 4 ½ years till he gets in collage to have one. When he came to school, since that whenever his friends ask him if he wanted to chat about cheat codes he always declined so this time they never even bothered to ask him and they don’t even bother to sit next to him on the bus. So he got so angry that when a girl kept kicking his seat he actually yelled at her and made her feel sad. Now the next person ids Eddie who always wakes up at 6:00 am to cut the grass and that his parents pay him $30 each. Then he dresses up for school at 7:28 and gets there at 7:40 am. As he was packing his backpack with his unfinished homework his dad caught him he turned him around. In only 20 years old he was already the fastest runner at his high school. when he came to class he was late so he got his first “detension”. 2^nd to last comes Elijah, first he has a bunk and he was in school this time. When he came to school his friends told him to meet up at the playground to discuss their hangout sleep over. When his friends Tyler and Kelly asked what time he wants them to come, so he told them at 5:00 at Saturday. When he came to class people kept on kicking him so when he reached for his back he felt paper that said “kick me”. He had an injury that he left home early. And last but not least is Bijay who started his day by stepping off the bus and seeing the sigh saying “Mackers arrives April 15!!!” just looking at that made him say awesome!!. When he came in the school everyone was celebrating like crazy, jumping around yelling on the table and hanging “it’s time to celebrate” signs. When he found out who that was (he was the popular kid in school) . he felt weird that his school was celebrating about that. When he came home he felt exhausted

Dear Mrs. Zrihen

             I am currently finishing the book “of beetles and angels a boys remarkable journey fro a refugee camp to Harvard” by Mawi Asgedom. So finishing on with the book when the family were in “Amerikha” they needed help, so, they called refugees to help them resettle in the U.S. many of his people had become refugees. When they found a house to stay in for a couple of days they had to buy, furniture, such as couches, t.v, and food. Also they needed to find a school for his sons to be educated in, and the parents had to find jobs to go in to be interviewed. So when the parents took the kids with them the dad told them to not make a sound because they needed that job, so just as they went to be interviewed so when they went home after the interview they were very happy and thy lived happy ever after
