The title of my book is A Child Called "It". I finished this book. Davids mom reminds me of how a mother spoils her younger childs and not the elder as much. She reminds me of this because she always gives Davids brothers everything that they want but she doesnt even notice David. That is one connection that i found.

I am reading the book Backwater by Joan Bauer. I am on page 115. The dad remindes me of my cousin because he was standing in front of the fire place all depressed and didnt have anything to do or anyone to talk to. He remindes me of my cousin because one christmas a couple years ago, my family went to my aunts house and my little cousin was sitting in front of the fire place because he was cold, but he wasnt talking to anyone or doing anything. He was just looking at the bright flames going up and down. This connects to my book im reading because the dad was staring at the silver vace that was sitting on the mantel.

The main character Kim, who wants to leave the mansion after 1 day because she is crepped out, reminds me of a time i was away from home. I was at a hotel and when i laid down on the bed, i looked up at the ceiling and to my suprise i saw black footprints! I was so creeped out that i just wanted to pack back up and go home right away.

Pages Read: about 55

The main character Kim reminds me of Alice from Alice and Wonderland. Kim reminds of Alice because they are both curious. Kim is curious to find out where the mysterious noises are coming from and why her grandfather's house is being sold. Alice was curious to find out where the white rabbit was going.

i am reading the book diary of a wimpy kid 2: Rodrick rules by Jeff Kinney, I am on page 79. The main characters little brother Manny reminds me of my little cousin, the are like each other because they both will always say what is on their minds. They will also always tell if anyone does anything wrong, the last similarity is that they both want almost every toy in the entire world.

I am reading the book The Wedding Planners Daughter by Coleen Murtagh Paratore. I have finished the book and it was really good. The setting in the book reminds me of Barbados only not as hot! I think this because the houses are right on the water just like Cape Cod. Also you can walk on the water and pick up shells and other pretty objects.

I finished reading the book Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key by Jack Gantos. This book reminds me of people today who are mean to kids who are different. Many people were mean and scared of Joey because if he's different, he must be dangerous. Right???? I think that a lot of kids these days are grown up with the belief that different is bad.

I finished the book "Everlost" by Neil Shusterman a while ago, but the whole time I kept thinking that the main character, Allie, reminded me alot of myself. She doesn't accept the norm of "Everlost", and she wants to know why, and things came to be in "Everlost" she didn't want to accept that she couldn't come back to life, she thought it was unfair, because she died in a car accident. She also reminds me of me because she cares very much about her family, even after she did she wanted to know if her father died too.

I finished the book Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key by Jack Gantos. The main character Joey who is always hyper fights to control himself. Joey is also sometimes unsafe around others for example the one time Joey accidentally cut off this girl's nose by running with scissors. Not only is Joey dangerous to others but to himself like one time he sharpened his finger in the pencil sharpener. Joey reminds me of one specific boy that goes to my church. His name is Cody, Cody likes to have fun but sometimes he can be dangerous while doing it. For example Cody was "pretend fighting" but accidentally ended up hurting his brother anyways. Cody really is a good kid just like Joey but he has a hard time showing it.

The book i am reading is called If We Kiss by Rachel Vail. I am on page 245 in my book. Charlie's school reminds me of our school. Charlie's school reminds me of our school because both schools have very similar rules/guidelines. In the begginging of the book Charlie gets caught and in trouble for kissing a boy during passing time. Just like in our school we would get in trouble to. There is no fighting aloud in both schools as well. Charlie watches a fight in her school and both kids get suspended. The same thing happens in our school. For Charlie and her friend Tally they only have 3 minutes of passing time just like us! When Charlie was kissing Kevin, the boy she likes, in the hallway and is late to class she gets in trouble. Although we have to write late slips we still get in trouble sometimes. This book is very intreging and i cant wait to finish it!

The book is called the Vampire Playge London, 1850. I am on page 142. The main character Jack Harket reminds me of the movie called Oliver. Jack Harkett reminded me of the movie called Oliver because the main character is a pick pocket and steals money from the rich to try and buy food or clothes with the money he steals. The main character in the vampire playge is a pick pocket ho trys and steal money to help him along his ways to pay for food and clothes but they both use diffrent methods. Th character in Oliver has a group of people that helps him get the monry and Jacke Harkett dose all of the pick pocketing on his own. That is why Jack Harkett reminded me of the main chracter in Oliver.

The book I am currently reading is "What I Believe" by Norma Fox Mazer. I am on page 18 because I started a few days ago. Victory, the main character reminds me of a turtle because she is hiding all of her feelings besides in her writing. She reminds of a turtle because she has yet to "come out of her shell".
Her house reminds me of my grandma's old house, it's like one of those houses that you have so many memories from your whole life, that you never want to leave.

I am still reading the book How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff.
In the Book Edmond(one of the main charachter; Dasiy's cousin) reminds me of Klaus from the Series Of Unfortunate Events. Edmond reminds me of Klaus because both children are very intelligent and use their smarts to help out;explain things to other people. In the book Edmond uses his smarts to explain things about the war to Daisy. In the Series Of Unfortunate Events Klaus is the middle child, in How I Live Now; Edmond is the middle child.

The book "Rodrick Rules", sounds funny. I read the first book, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". I like how you discribed Manny to be like your cousin. Manny always made me laugh in the first book.☺

I have finshed reading my secound book sewer rats by orca currents. The main character of this book is Jimmy. Jimmy reminds me of me because he likes to play paintball and hes just one of those kids in the background. he doesnt ever really try to take the lead of anything and stays away from trying to be outstanding. another thing is that he likes a good laugh and so do i. he likes to play paintball because he loves the game. i also love the game and will play any chance i get.

I have abandoned the book, "What I Believe" by Norma Fox Nazer.
I am now reading "The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod" by Heather Brewer.
Vladimir reminds me of a vampire. Even though he is a vampire, the only way to describe him is to say he is a vampire, because he gets blood cravings. His fangs pop out of his gums when he gets hungry, he can read minds and even hover. "Vampire" is the only way to describe him.
