Untill another big problem had come back. She accidently lost her card. She quickly searched all around her office building. Everywhere. When she couldn't find it she was crying. She didn't want some stranger to use ALL her money she had saved for days and days.

After 12 days, she got called to the bank. They said that her money was overdued. $100,000 dollars. She flipped. She didn't have enough money to pay that. So she complained to the bank manegers to find, suspect the person.

10/10

The athour/William Sleator



















The Book Cover/Rewind

This book was a great book! I loved it.
It's about a guy called Peter, dying, and he has 3 chances to change his life, before he is permanantley dead.
In peter's first try, he goes back time, the night before he died.
But unfortunatley, he couldn't control his emotions, just like what the invisible person said, (Peter's emotion = too solid to control)
The invisible person was right, Peter couldn't control his emotion, and ran.. He died for the second time.
In his second try, he went back time to 4 weeks before, his first try. He also failed, convincing his parents, being proud of him. But I understand why Peter's emotion was too solid to control. I think I must have done the same thing if I was Peter. Then Peter died for the third time..
This was his last chance, his third try. He went back time, 4 weeks before his second try, so that was about 8 weeks, 2 month ago. He finally finally got enough will-power, and courage to try to convince his parents on making him proud, and Peter's parents didn't against him on their first natural baby, instead of their first unnatural baby.

The Play Alone(r)

The Play Alone(r) is by Elizabeth Morez
9/10
The summary,
Jessica Shanon, a girl in 8th grade, doesn't have any friends.
No one wanted to play with her since 4th grade.
Because of a really cruel, and mean girl called, Jenny Morgun and her evil friends, Sally Tanner, Lizzie McDowall, and Sasha Dupree.
Jenny, Sally, Lizzie and Sasha are the meanest, most popular girls in school, they all didn't like Jessica, because she was new girl to school (in 4th grade) was very pretty and was so popular, for a new student.
Then the girls all made mean rumors that Jessica got kicked out of her last school, and came here, which was NOT true.
Then Jenny poured orange juice on Jessica's silk, white shirt on purpose, but made it looked like an accident.
Then, she started to purposely push Jessica, but made it look like it was an accident, and made her fall into the moss covered pond.
Each and everyday, the girls played mean tricks on her.
And by the time when it was Jessica's 4th day of school, Sasha, pushed Jessica and made Jessica fall on top of the vice-principle, with spaghetti sauce splattering all over the vice-principle.
Jessica was mad, really mad. She was particulary so mad that it looked like her freckles might pop out of her face.
From that time, people started to get away from Jessica, because the vice-principle said that he would be watching Jessica, all along, and everyone didn't want the vice-principle to think that they were, naughty like Jessica. And also, they didn't want to get bullied by Jenny, Sasha, Lizzie and Sally.
When Jessica turned to 8th grade, everything seemed different, now, she didn't want to get bullied by the girls, and she wanted the same respect everybody was getting.
So when the mean girls played mean tricks on her, she did the same trick to the girls also.
So the mean, evil girls called Jessica out after school, and started yelling what was her problem.
So Jessica said simply, "I'm going to treat you, how you treat me. Isn't that fair? And, if you want respect from me, I would like to be respected by you guys, okay??"
The evil girls became embarrassed of how she treated Jessica, and they all became best friends at the end.

First she was surprised but she soon liked the way he felt comfortable being around her
He's name was Zack Moore, he also fell into the well, just like Jane, 3 years ago.
Jane asked him how he survived in this place for three years.
He smiled and showed her the secret way to a place called 'Andalasiant'.
Andalasiant was a sort of like another world in earth, ruled by Zack.
There were lots of dwarf workers that kept Andalasiant clean, peaceful and beautiful looking.
There were so many fruit trees, that she thought it would probably take 1,000 people 100 years to eat all of it.
There was 5 big, big, big, big, big, BIG waterfall. One was made out of chocolate, one was made out of pure, clean cold water. The another waterfall was a waterfall of Sweet coke, Fresh fruit juice, and milk.
There were vegetable gardens, wheat land, and it was a very beautiful place to live.
Jane and Zack lived together in Andalasiant for a few days, they spent happy moments together, before the dark…..........................

Lillian Moore, Zack’s evil step sister, who wanted to be the queen of Andalasiant, found out that Zack was living with a girl called Jane.
Lilly (Lillian) knew that Zack and Jane liked each other.
If Jane gets a chance to marry Zack, Jane would be the queen of Andalasiant.
And Lilly would have to do whatever Jane prefers from then.
Lilly bribes a big, mean dwarf to attack Jane.
Lilly was sure that Zack would get furious of the Dwarf, and would try to kill the dwarf, when Zack gets distracted by thinking of how to kill the dwarf, Lilly would kill Jane instantly and Zack would have to obey her if he didn’t want Jane’s dead body to be thrown away and rot, and get eaten by wolves.
When the dwarf attacked Jane, Jane got hit on the stomach really, really hard that she fainted.
As Lilly expected, Zack got furious and fought with the dwarf.
Lilly quietly snuck to Andalasiant with her poison gas, potion and she carefully made Jane gulp the poison gas.
Jane’s life ended
When Zack came back from destroying the dwarf, he knew that she was dead, and he started to scream in frustration.
He then started to cry, and glared at his step sister, Lillian.
He got so mad that he made all the dwarfs put Lilly into jail. Forever.
He then started to cry, and when his tears landed on Jane’s lips, she amazingly opened her eyes!
Then they lived happily ever after

Just Annoying is a book that has different stories every chapter.
The usual annoying person is Andy, a boy character in the book
He usually annoys his older sister Jen, or his parents.


The first chapter is about Andy, and his parents in the car going to some place, and Andy kept on saying 'Are we there yet??' over and over again



Ex)



"Dad" -Andy



"Yes, Andy?" -Dad


"Are we there yet??" - Andy

"No," - Dad


2 seconds later,


"Dad" - Andy

"Yes," - Dad

"Are we there yet?" - Andy

"You just asked me that question, Andy" -Dad

"Are we there yet?" - Andy

"No," -Dad


10 seconds later

"Yes, Andy" - Dad


"Are we there yet?" -Andy


"No, no, no, NO!!" - Dad



Then andy got kicked out of the car, and he had to wait outside the car, for his parents to come back and pick him up.


He waited for 5minutes, then 10minutes, then 15, then 30, but they didn't come

Just then he met a cool motorcycle dude,

and the motorcycle dude asked Andy if he needed a ride

Andy said Yes, and they raced to find Andy's parent's car.

When they found it, Andy jumped, and landed in the car.

His parents were surprised, but also embarrassed for forgetting to come and get Andy where they had thrown him away.
