The book I am reading is called “The Secret to Teen Power” by Paul Harrington. This book is like a book for solving problems you may come across, or maybe problems you didn’t solve that well. This book is also a book of thinking then solving mentally the strategy. So the chapter I read was called “Powerful Processes: Secret Power Plays”. In this part of the book it talked about gratitude and how teens always say thank- you and please. And when you don’t mean it so that we are ingrate for our family, classmates, teachers, even our best friends.
Then in my book they gave examples of things you are grateful for: god, family, clothes and etcetera. I did not finish this part and I can’t wait to finish it.

The book I am reading is called “The Secret: To Teen Power” by Paul Harrington. I decide to read this book because it was a new book that my mom brought me from Barns and Noble. So I thought since I was about 1 year away from being a teen I should read it so it can give me advise. A quote that I like is about the book it. The quote said that this book lets you “Be all you can be and achieve all you can achieve”. Then in chapter two the book started talking about Shane Gould, the lesson learned was to never sweat someone else winning gold and to always go for yours.
Also a paragraph or three that talks about that the lesson learned in his story was that the reflection of your life is a reflection of your vibe. Also another good quote is “We are the music- markers, And we are the dreamers of dreams “- Arthur O’ Shaughnessy a quote from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I would give this book 90% out of 100%.

The book I am reading is Called "Holes" by Louis Sachar. So far I like like this book it seems to interest me. I give this book two thumbs up. Today I have read that Stanley gets sent to Camp Green Lake. Camp Green Lake is a camp for young teens. The camp is only for boys, at this camp they dig holes in order to find a object that has not been notified in the book, but when they find an object they are to give it to the object to the warden.
There was no one on the bus when Stanley was on his way to the camp except the guard who was holding a rifle laid across his lap. Stanley was seated in the last row with hand cuffs on. Camp Green Lake was a lake over one hundred and it was the biggest land in Texis now it was just dry waste land. Stanley also was named Caveman as a nick name that mean that he was welcomed and accepted as a friend to the people in his cabin. He also mad Zero talk. Zero was the boy that got Stanley caught but Zero got in the camp first. Zero got his named from him never talking.

The I am reading is called "Swindle" by Gordon Korman. This book is a good book so far but not the best I have read. If I had to do a survey I would give this book a thumbs up and one down or a 6/10. so far I have read from chapter 4 to chapter 9. Today I read that this boy named Luther got hold of what Griffin, Savannah, and Ben were do in S. Wendell Palomino house.So Luther was held hostage and then he threaded them to let him go or else he would tell ever one what was going on in there.
The one thing I like about this book is that it shows notes from Griffin notebook in the book I am reading, its like a book inside of a book. In his notes he writes:

Major Obstacles
(i) Padlocked GATE
(ii)7- foot- high FENCE
I think that this is like the best part of the book because it show the Griffin is ready it get his card back. Also this shows that his first step is be organized and I like that.

Today the book I read was "Nelson Mandela: Voice of Freedom" by Libby Hughes. I read this book because it was just gathering dust on my book-shelf and I wanted to gather more knowledge on Mr. Mandela's life. Also because I read the blurb and it reads "Let us join hands with all people of conscience throughout the world... Let justice triumph without delay. Blessed are the peacemakers."- Nelson Mandela. This quote made me think that when I read this book it won't only tell me just about his life, but it will explain the truggles of everyone in segration.
Something I learned was that Nelson Mandela was released from jail in Cape Town, South Africa. He went to jail because he was outspoken and showed militant resistance to the racial segregation in South Africa. He was happy that he could walk out of jail 27 years later with his wife by his side, he was about 44 or 45 when he was arrested and 71 when he was released from prison. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa along the Umbashe River which flows into the Indian Ocean. His mother's name was Nosekeni Fanny and his father's name was Mphakanyiswa Gadla(Henry Mandela). He did have the right to say speek the truth because he believed that blacks should have the same rights as white and segragation sould stop and all people should join hands.

The book I am reading is called "Swindle" by Gordon Korman. Today I read from chapter 4 to chapter 10 and these chapters were funny just like chapters 1-4. One of the funny parts was when Savannah started talking weird she was talking about "a miserable waste of dog food, I've shown you nothing but kindness. You don't deserve rabies, you should get in a rock and fly to Alpha Centauri. Evil soulless ill- tempered psychopathic canine!" Then Griffin and Ben were looking shocked at her because of what she said. This was funny because i could just picture how Ben, Griffin, and Savannah looked when they were standing there. I pictured the a image in my mind the same way as the book described it with Ben grabbing her and she tugs away from him and starts speaking weirdly. Then Griffin and Ben look at her weirdly like what are you talking about.
I think another part that was good, but not as funny as the first one I talked about. This part was on page 85 when Griffin was talking adout Ben and how he was the smallest 6th grader. Also how Ben would be able to sweeze into a tiny space. Ben didn't care because he would say "no pain no game, this is for million dollars." Griffin knew the money was fake and so did Ben. It was to help the Bings keep their house.
