Drummer Boy

Character Traits

         Right now we are reading Girls, Drums and Dangerous Pie. The main character is Steven. Steven thinks of himself as a nerd. He's those kids that sort of know everything but are really  annoying (to me). Here is my newest post on the Drummer Boy a.k.a Steven.

        Steven right now is feeling worried. His younger brother, Jeffrey, has blood cancer. His mother is shocked and extremely quiet. But lets go back a bit. Steven was getting Jeffrey some "motmeal" and when he turned around Jeffrey had fallen of from is chair really hard. So hard that is nose was bleeding non-stop. Steven's mother took Jeffrey to the hospital. 

     When Steven arrived at school he met his crush Renee Albert. He's telling us readers that he forgot to brush his teeth! Come on! Now i know that Steven is.....selfish. His brother was rushed to the emergency room for god's sake! I wouldn't care about my teeth. Also I think Jeffery and Steven have a special connection with each other. There brothers! If I were Steven I would've asked my mom to get Jeffrey some motmeal.

     All in all we aren't finish but i hope that Jeffery lives. Somehow I have this feeling that Jeffrey might.....die. I am enjoying this book, which is good! This is my blogg:) Write to you next Sunday......

Lock And Key

Summary

           Right now I am reading Lock&Key by Sarah Dessen. Its about a girl named Ruby having a life that has no answers. Her mother left her with her sister she hasn't known for 10 years of her life. Ruby right now feels like shes.... unwanted. What if you were left in a mansion that your sister that you don't know owns it? Here is how Ruby feels about her life situation.

           Ruby is now telling me about her yellow house and meeting the Honeycutts. And how her past was with her depressing mother. This main character has a pretty messed up life. But now she doesn't. Her yellow rented house is this 1 bedroom, dark celled walls, and a small kitchen. For me i would not live here. Anyway, Ruby was always tired because most of the time Ruby's mother would come in and ask if Ruby can go sleep on the couch. That was i stopped and realized that this place comparing to her sisters place is so much better. At her sisters she has a green room. Filled with fluffed pillows with a slanted ceiling. Thats her room. Now the honeycutts are the new land lords of the yellow house. In this book right now Ruby is just playing back memories/flashbacks of her past. This is my summary!

         All in all the story isn't over yet but I will give updates. I would recommend this book to readers that love social issues. Write to you later:)

No Body's Perfect

No Body's Perfect by Kimberley Kirberger

             No Body's Perfect by Kimberly K. is a book about teens and pre-teens having issues with their body. Kimberly K. collected over 50 stories about having the perfect body or being anorexic. Its an extremely BIG topic to talk about. Some of the teen authors had stories that you can connect to. Here is my post about No Body's perfect.

             This book really can connect to me. Being over-weight is hard. A lot of people judge you because you don't look, well....healthy. The story that caught my eye was about a girl 2 years older than me. She had written about how she was unhealthy and how her so called friends would make fun of how she looked. But then she decided that is was time to be healthy ( to lose wait). After a year of hard work she found herself at her point. She was happy and had confidence walking into school. This is why I love this book. I don't feel as if i am the only one in the world. This is my connection!

            All in all, I learned facts about how people feel inside there body's. I love it how (sometimes) it gets fixed. This is my newest post:)
