This book is about three teenagers. Rhianon, Nicole, and James. The book is split into six parts. It is told from the point of Rhianon, then Nicole, then James, and so on. Rhianon is having a hard time because her boyfriend dumped her for no reason. And then a lot of things happen with her. Nicole is sort of lost. She has a huge secret that she does not tell anyone, and it really affects her. James is really smart. He is really good friends with Rhianon. This book is set in New York City and it talks about the city a lot. It's really cool. You should definitely read this book! It's a quick read and it's really good. :)

The Journal of William Thomas Emerson

For my colonial book I read The Journal of William Thomas Emerson. It helped me really understand what this whole Revolutionary Was was all about. It was from the point of view of a 12 year old boy who lives in Boston, Massachusetts. He lives with Mrs. Thompson, the owner of the tavern. He works for her and she gives him room and board. It is a fiction story and I liked it that way because it is interesting and not just facts about the Revolutionary War. A lot of things happen with the Revolutionary War and it was a really good book. I highly recommend this book! :D

The Possibility of Fireflies

This book is about a girl around the age of 14 and she doesn't have that great of a life. She moves all the time. Her mom is an alcoholic, and is hardly ever home. Her mom usually come in around 1a.m. in the morning after she goes on her dates.  The girl's parents got divorced when she was really young. She has an older sister who used to help her and take care of the family because the mother is incapable but lately she hasn't really been helping and she has been getting into trouble. This story is about a hard time in this girl's life and how she lives through it and what she does about it. It's a sad book but really good and i highly recommend it. This book also got recommended to me by a friend, who also loved it. :D

The Old Willis Place

The first book I read this year was called The Old Willis Place. It was recommended  to me by a friend who said it was a really good book! And she was right! When I was carrying my book in the hallway everyone who had read the book said it was really good! It's about two children who live at the farm of the Old Willis Place. The Old Willis Place has caretakers that take care of the house and make sure that nothing goes wrong. The kids, a girl and a boy, play tricks on the caretakers. Something happened to them long ago but I can't tell you what that is because it would give the story away! You definitely should read this book because it's amazing! Oh, and I forgot to tell you. It's a ghost story! :) 

Summer 2010

This summer I had a lot of fun. With a lot of people. I went to Camp Downer for two weeks in July. That was fun. I was in Cabin 12. I went to Dartmouth, Massachusetts with a friend. That was really fun. Lots of memories. I went swimming in shark infested water. No one knew though. The day after they said that there had been sharks in the water. The water was really warm. After Dartmouth I went to Nantucket, Massachusetts with my family. We went boogie boarding and swimming at Surfside Beach. It was really fun. The waves were about 6ft. tall. It was amazing! :D I hung out with friends during the summer. One of my friends has a camp on Woodbury Lake. I went swimming there. That was fun. This summer was really fun! :D
