...and More from the Girls (with the latest standings!)

All right, girls, it's your turn!

Super Simran

Abraham Lincoln By: Tanya Lee Stone One book in the series of the Dk Biographies

Wondering how this little boy who was once a farmer became a president. Well this book has all the ansewers. It does not list this in the book but a little girl asked Abraham Lincoln to grow his famous beard. It also shows a picture of the rocking chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting at the Fords theatre when he got shot. After he got shot he was put on a bed for medical treatment whitch he died in. It shows a picture of that bed to. After reading this book summary I hope you want to read this book. Well go and buy it right now because this is a book I like so I know you will like it too. :^)

Times Squared By: Julia DeVillers

This book is about 2 twins who go to New York City. One goes to see a off Broadway show and the other went to attend a math competition. Most people in one twins group are from the drama club but that group is going to see banks and stuff like that. The other twins group are mostly mathaletes but they go to places like the toystore and the candy shop. Will this trip in New York mess up? I really enjoyed this book because it was about twins. I think you should read it! :^)

Junie B., First Grader: Cheater Pants By: Barbara Park

Junie B Jones is copying of peoples homework and everything but she thinks it's not a big deal but will she get out of control. Will she never stop copying? I loved this book and I could not put it down till the end! Ithink you should read it! :^)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days By: Jeff Kiney

It's summer vacation and Greg is in his house playing video games. His mom thinks he should go outside and "play". Greg does sometimes and in this book Greg gets a dog. I really liked this book because of it's comedy. I think you should read it too! :^)

Emma

Dork Diaries #2- Rachel Renee Russell

I really like Dork Diaries. It's a GREAT BOOK! I like it because it's like Diary of a wimpy kid and I like that.It's about a girl named Nikki Maxwell who goes to a new school. There is a mean girl named Makenzie; the most popular girl in the school. She has to be at three places at once because she promised everyone she would be there. She meets two friends,Chole and Zoe.Find out what happens next.

Wayside school- Louis Sachar

Wayside School is a hilarious book of stories. Mrs. Gorf turns everyone into apples in one of the stories. I like this book because there is lots of stories in one book.

Ruta

Charlotte's Web, by E.B. White is a great book. Wilbur, a pig raised from birth by a girl named Fern, is sold to a farm. When a goose informs him that once Christmas time comes around, he'll be killed, Wilbur turns to a gray spider named Charlotte for help. What she does is amazing and will change your opinion about friends forever.

All right! Thank you, girls! I'm really glad you wrote about Abraham Lincoln and Charlotte's Web. Honest Abe was an incredible person and Charlotte's Web is an incredible book.

And good way to use all 4 things, boys and girls--title, author, brief plot summary, and reasons you liked or didn't like the books!

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
