Int'l Book Release by Manny

International Book Release by Manny 

    I love Lea Michele from Glee, and she’s got bigger news! Her new memoir came out on the 20th of this month! I’m so excited because I’ve waited so long for this book, and it’s also about eating right and fitness too. So she mashed up all she could into the book. I looked at some reviews on websites to see what people thought about the book. And it turns out it was all positive! That’s great! Now I’m even more sure that I should read the book than when I first found out about it! Oops, I forgot to mention that it’s called Brunette Ambition.

    Some cool facts about it are that at the beginning of every chapter is a quote by Barbra Streisand. Isn’t that interesting? Lea’s idol is Barbra Streisand so really, I’m not surprised. Also, Lea spills rumors about who she dated (gossip) and the first time she met Barbra Streisand. I think the book is gonna be great! I’m up for it! After promotion and the Shaw Park celebration, we’re going to go to Barnes and Noble and get the book. I just can’t wait!

   

My Favorite Book Series by Manny

My Favorite Series of Books by Manny 

    I enjoy reading series during IDR and at my house. You get to have a cool feel of the characters and how they grow from the beginning to the end. I love to read them and there are many different kinds, of course. Realistic fiction series, fantasy series, science fiction series, many kinds. So I’m going to share my 3 favorites.

3: Goosebumps. The author is R.L. Stine. I love Goosebumps even though you can’t really relate to the horror. I’ve read so many and loved every single one. I have so many memories from every single one. My favorites in the series would have to be Welcome to Dead House, Don’t Go to Sleep, Say Cheese and Die!, and Night of the Living Dummy. The series includes 62 books. There are different characters and different story plots in each one.

2: Matched. The author is Ally Condie. I love Matched because it had romance, and it was exciting and very thrilling. It was a trilogy, and my favorite in it was the first one: Matched. The genre is young adult, science fiction, and romance. The first book is one of my favorites EVER!!

1: Sammy Keyes. The author is Wendelin Van Draanen. I love Sammy Keyes so much! It’s the only reason why I LOVE mystery. I’m planning on reading more mystery because of this amazing series! My favorite characters are Sammy and Marissa, and my favorite books are Sammy Keyes and the Search for Snake Eyes and Sammy Keyes and the Skeleton Man. The series includes 18 books. All have mysteries.

Writing: A Typical Return, A Special by Manny

A Typical Return, A Special by Manny

    I opened my eyes, and my head was lifted up from the ground by warm hands. I looked back and forth, left and right. Where was I? I saw a woman, and a man. They were communicating in what seemed like a different language. I think they were using sign language, or some type of code thing. I had no idea.

    I looked to my right, and then down. Laying right before my eyes was a cup of water. I drank a little, and it tasted refreshing. I relaxed, and out my hand on my chest, and I felt a long bandage of some sort. All I remember was being struck by an ice blade. Someone with blonde hair, blue eyes, medium height...Elsa! I got up to leave, when the woman set her hand on my arm, and motioned toward the cup of water, then she put her hand to her mouth and tipped her head back. I suddenly realized what she meant, she meant to drink water. So, I bent down to drink the water, because I needed some strength and hydration.

    “Sorry, she’s mute. I thought you should know, you’ve been out for two days. Once we found you in the hot big room, we took care of you ever since. We’ve bandaged you, taken care of you, kept you warm in the nights, and all that stuff to keep you alive.” He smiled at me. Man, were they kind!

    “I have to get going, to the magical part of the forest. Over there are my friends.” I was eager, that I sputtered my words out quickly and didn’t understand what I was saying. Surprisingly, he did. “It’s about 15 minutes west from where you are sitting, so just go straight to your left and you’ll be there.” He smiled again. I said bye and to both of them and headed off to my right. I ran like I was running away from a portal that would suck me in to make me see all the things I hate. I ran like I was running from the scariest monster ever trying to strangle me to death. I ran like I was running from all the voices in my head saying “Tall Weirdo” and “Idiot”. I ran like I was running to a light that would lead me to my friends. I was. And I was close.

    When I got there, I looked to the river just further ahead. I took in the scent of all the trees and houses. I was back here. I was in the place I loved. I ran up to Rapunzel’s house and knocked on the door. She opened it and her mouth dropped open. “Am I seeing correctly?” she said. I nodded, and said,”It’s me. Brad.” She quickly embraced me, for what seemed like forever. After the Forever Hug, I looked back behind her and at the kitchen and kitchen table. “Where’s Elsa?” I asked. Rapunzel cringed, and said “Oh no” over and over again.

    “Where’s Elsa?” I repeated, but I said it calmly.

    Rapunzel took a deep breath and finally said,”Elsa…ran away.”

    "Oh Shilsha. What has this girl done to my Miha? Oh Shilsha."

Book Review: Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief

Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief by Manny

    I loved this book so much! It’s called Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief and let me tell you that I very much enjoyed this first book in the series. It let me get an idea of how everything started. Two characters hatred for each other, how sammy ended up in the Senior Highrise, and all that stuff. I was excited to read it because it sounded good, and WAS good. It was fun reading it. Now, I’ll tell you what it’s all about.

    Well, Sammy lives with her grandmother in the Senior Highrise, because her mom went off to Hollywood to fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress. And that’s not Sammy’s only problem. She meets a rotten redhead named Heather who constantly bullies and taunts her. And Sammy saw a man digging into a purse and pulling $3,000 out of it from the Heavenly Hotel right next to a window! And he was dressed up as a thief. So, the book is Sammy’s adventurous journey to find the thief. And let me tell you, the book is great and you really should read it.

    It sounded like a foreign language to me, when Sammy Keyes said that I was Marissa McKenze, her best friend in the series. It was weird, and I felt weird, and Grams must’ve felt weird because she ended up saying,”Now, what are you doing here, Marissa? I thought you were doing homework?” Wait, what? I just decided to go along with it and said,”Oh yeah, but I finished.”

    “That quickly?” Grams asked. I felt like I needed to get out of there quickly. I dove to the bathroom, and that’s where I saw a giant portal. I jumped through it.

    “Hermione, I need you.” I looked, it was Harry Potter. I was Hermione. A girl again?

To This Day by Manny

                    To This Day by Manny

    During social studies, we watched a very inspiring video called “To This Day”, which is mainly about bullying and him and how it all started. The author is named Shane Koyczak. It started off with him talking about how he thought pork chops and karate chops were the same thing. Then it started to get serious. So serious I cried!

    It was about bullying and it was really depressing. The video was amazing, but it reminded me when I was teased in the first and second grade. And the mean words some people called me this year. Anyways, my favorite and most depressing oart of the video for me was when he said that he’d stay inside for recess, because out there was a place to stand there and get bullied, and to rehearse running from the bullies.

    I loved the video, even though it was sad. I think everyone should see the video. I even tried to show my mom the video, but she wouldn’t budge.

I had just got off the ship. I was now in China. My goal for this trip was to go to the zoo and see some pandas. As I was walking around town trying to find someone who spoke English, I listened to others dialog. Some of the words heard sounded like a foreign language. It was a foreign language. A hard one to understand and connecting English words and making connections was hard. I was one of the weirdest languages I have ever heard. That  was because it was the only other language that I have heard. I wanted to learn some Chinese on this trip. Bye now.

One day in Florida, my dad and I decided to go fishing. At first, we got nothing everything was calm and quiet. We went out farther and farther and then stopped. We "dropped anchor" and got out our fishing poles. At that moment I remembered the first time I went fishing. My dad told me,"if you feel the line tingle, reel it in." I felt a tiny nibble right after putting it in the water. My dad didn't believe I had a fish but when we reeled it in the bait was gone! Anyway, back to the real story. About 20 minutes later I felt a nibble, then it went away. I thought the bait got caught on a rock or something, but then there was a huge bite! A couple seconds later, I saw a fin, then a body! It turns out the line didn't get stuck on a rock. I got a fish! But when I realized what the fin was I got mad. A dolphin took my fish! This happened 3 times in a row! Eventually we moved and the dolphins stopped bothering us. It was a spectacular day! Even though a dolphin took my fish!!

 In gym this week we had a blast with some outdoor spring games. We first played capture the ball, which is the same as Capture the Flag. just with 4 foam balls. But, the bad thing is that it's outside and hot. And every time we end at the end of our class we are all sweaty and gross. We are also playing kick ball, and it is fun playing with others and as a team. Also trying to kick as hard and far as they can. And looking at how strong everyone can be.

Today a giant bee flew into town, destroying 90% of the citizens. Little people, with big shoes, meanwhile big people with little shoes, had a little bee which destroyed 90% of town. It was a nightmare. Shoes went flying. Men and women were crying. It was dreadful. Then, an army of grasshoppers, came to hold off the bees. They fought well, until the bees figured out that if they sting them it kills themselves, as well as the enemy. Then mosquito mercenaries began to insert their tradozones into anyone who wasn't paying them. It was downright, a battle of the bugs.

Strawberry Festival

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

The Strawberry Festival this year was really exciting.  I really liked the rides, and the sponge throwing was funny and entertaining.  The pie eating contest was fun, and many peoples’ faces were covered in whipped cream.  It was sunny and warm, the perfect ice cream eating weather.  It was cool inside, and hot outside.  It was one of the best money raising activities in Glenridge.

Dear Ivy,                                                                    

I know that you’re disappointed about not getting your magic, but I hope that you’ll    feel better reading this.

   

I think my parents copied your birthday present, because they gave me a gold bracelet studded with fresh-cut emeralds. They told me that emeralds was the birthstone of May, and is a symbol of rebirth.                                            

When I was blowing out my candles from my tenth birthday cake, I felt myself rising off the ground. In fact, in a few minutes I was whizzing around the room!

   

                        Wishing you

                      a good day,

                      Dove

    The light letter shook gently in Ivy’s hand. Why did Dove have to rub it in? “ She probably meant to, too” Ivy realized. She took out a fresh piece of paper and started writing:

   

                                      June 10, 2012

Dear Dove,

     Thanks for the letter, because I did feel much better, though I  think I still got my magic, for I have started having a connection with nature.

As for your bracelet, I’m sure your parents didn’t copy us entirely,  because  I know  diamonds and emeralds are not   the same thing.

                                     Hoping to see

you next week

           Ivy                    

Ivy smiled as a deep sensation of satisfaction settled in her.

    Ivy’s Mom’s side of her family was a very unique. Every time a child turned 12, they would receive a special power. Ivy’s mom had gotten a the power of seeing with her eyes closed, a perfect mom gift. Ivy’s dad was from a normal family, so he didn’t get any real power, but Dad was nearly perfect, in every way Ivy could think of. He was wise and always right. But Dad was also imperfect, with his clumsy feet, and little silly mistakes that never did any harm.

    Ivy had always worried that she wouldn’t get her power, having Dad’s blood in her. Now that her worst nightmare had come true, Ivy was living in a world of shame.

As we examine the beastly creature, we think about ourselves, we think we are so smart and powerful in this world. But, look at what is in front of us. A giant with black and yellow stripes. Its wings sparkle in the sunlight. It has a very sharp razor point at it ends we think for hunting. We touch it and it is gushy, like jello. We touch it again and it starts turning over. Then like a bullet coming out of a gun, it's eyes bolt up. It flies away with fear. Are we a monster or a prey.

“The serum is almost ready!”  called out a scientist.  “It will have to be tested as soon as it is ready,”  William said.  He was feeling particularly tired today, and he had a good reason.  He had been working all day and all night for the past few days, perfecting a serum to enlarge a being’s body, but still keeping the muscles’ mass in the same proportion to the other body mass (fat, bones, skin, etc.)  Soon the serum was ready to test, and he inserted it into the correct slot in the testing room.  Since his whole team was so tired, they forgot to check for living things they did not want to alter, and one team member entered some extra zeroes in the size enlargement on one sector.  A honeybee flew in, and by way of coincidence, got enlarged way too much.  It obliterated the whole compound almost instantly, its sheer size breaking the walls.  The team was killed, and the beast proceeded to destroy everything in sight.

As I was in bed, almost asleep, I heard the door crack open and my sister ran into the room. She was wearing pink footie pajamas with cartoon pandas all over them. She had her hands behind her back, and began dancing around my room.

Then she started singing, “I turn the lights off then I turn them back ooooonnnn, shining like it’s a light.”  And the the next thing I know she’s turning the lights on and off. To make me laugh even more, she opened her hands and threw money all over the place, I would have gotten out of bed to get it, but she picked it up to fast.

My Favorite Genres

                  My Favorite Genres in Books by Manny

    I’m here right now to share some of my favorite genres in books and reading. I love to read! Fantasy, realistic fiction, poetry, anything! Except historical fiction. But I love to read, and in this next paragraph, I’m gonna share my favorite genres.

    Well first, I love realistic fiction! For a long while, it was all I read. StarGirl, Jake and Lily, and a lot of others! I like realistic fiction because it’s really cool how you can relate to the characters in life situations. The next genre is adventure. Some books in the adventure genre I’ve read are Warriors, Geronimo Stilton, and last but not least The Land of Stories; The Wishing Spell. I’m not a fan of survival adventure, but I like it to have a little sports in it. I like adventure because it’s always exciting and urges you onward in the book. The last genre I’m going to share with you is mystery. I love mystery! It really pushes you to read more, like in adventure. Some mystery novels I’ve read include the A to Z Mysteries, and Sammy Keyes. I like mystery because you feel like you can predict and have a feeling of who stole what, or who did this or that.

    Well, those are my favorite genres in books. I love these all, and I’ll always take time to read them.

In class we have been working on our curiosity projects. Over spring break we were given the assignment to think about what we were curious about. Then when we got back to the school we had to chose a topic to research. I chose the topic of how to tell if someone is lying. At first I thought the topic would be to small and not a lot to research. When I really got into it I learned a lot and found the topic very very interesting. Everyone else in the class has chosen a topic and is researching it to present to the class one day. SOme other projects will be on radiation, animal abuse, sharks, cake decoration and sea turtles and many more.

Now let me tell a little about how we will be graded. We will be graded on spelling and grammar, our information, how our idea began ( our curiosity story ), a reflection which we have to complete and our organization. I am looking forward to the day where we present our projects to the class. To learn about others curiosities and to teach everyone in my class about how to tell if  someone is lying. Some people are presenting their projects in a form of a movie, a keynote, prezi and many more ways. I also have tested my knowledge on how to tell if someone is lying on my sister. This journey has been very fun.

Book Review: Sammy Keyes And the Hotel Thief

  The Anticipated Book #6 by Manny

    As you all know, I heart Sammy Keyes. I love everything about it, but I just have one problem: I haven’t read the first book! BingBing decided to read it, and Mya got it as an ASK book from the library. And because of that, I had to start at book #2. Now I’m on #4, Sammy Keyes and the Runaway Elf. But I have heard that this is the most popular and successful in the whole series, so of course I’ll give it a shot! Also, this won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Children’s Mystery!

    The book is about Sammy and how she saw a man look into her a woman’s purse and find 3,000 bucks! Apparently he sees her, which is pretty scary! I’m not sure the rest of the story, but I’m really sure it’ll be a great Sammy Keyes. Have you read this book?
