Tuck Everlasting

For my second book Im going to review Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt.
I think Its a five star book.
I think this because it has one of my favorite topics: living forever.
The story is about a little girl named Winnie Foster who lives in the forests of Treegap. She lives in a cluttered, old fashioned house in the 1800's. She decides to run away when she's about 11 (same age as me) and meets this family who lives forever. I like the whole story except that the dialogue is country talk and is a bit had to follow at times.
In conclusion, I think that this book it is a great story and one of my all time favorites.

ski week

On Monday February 21st of 2011 my family, except for one of my sisters, had a week off school for ski week. Even though it doesn't snow often in San Francisco and we didn't go skiing, I've had a fun week so far.
On Monday my big sister Paige was still home because it was Presidents day.
On Tuesday it was my little sister Kelly's 5th birthday!!!! For her birthday we went to the San Francisco Zoo and made her a b-day cake. After that she opened her presents and we had the cake we made and sang Happy Birthday.
On Wednesday we got the things I need for my diorama at the Hobby Shop and I finished my math packet.
On Thursday I did more homework and my mom helped me set up this blog.
On Friday (today) Kelly, Dad and I went to Party City to get the rest of the stuff for Kelly's party on Saturday. I will be helping with her party, even though it is a princess party.
Finally on Sunday I'm going to finish my homework. I just need to make my neat copy for my diorama and that's it.

Hoot

This book which I'm first going to talk about is Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.
I think it is a good but not great book .
I think its good because Roy, the main charater, helps a runaway college student do a dificult , maybe even illegal task!
The thing I dont like about this book is that the middle of the book is too long and could be ok without this long part.
In conclusion I think that Hoot by Carl Hiaasen would be a 8 out of 10 kind of book. In other words its a four star kind of book.
