  1. Here's an example of a response to your prompt today:
    My favorite book is called The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It is about a china (toy) rabbit named Edward Tulane who begins his life with a girl named Abilene who loves him dearly. The problem is that they are separated, and Edward finds himself in many different situations, with many different people, none of whom love him like Abilene did. It's a beautiful story about hope and love and loss and it's one of the few books that I've read several times. I love this book because it makes me feel just about every feeling - happiness, sorrow, fear, joy - and even some feelings I can't really name. If you haven't read it yet, I hope you do!

    1. Kourtney, I loved "Mathlete vs. Athlete" too! The characters feel like they could go to Fisher Mitchell School, don't they? Did you know that it is the first book in a series, and there are two others? They are called "Double Dribble" and "Time Out."

  14. My favorite book (book series.) Is fruits basket! It is a series of anime books. The main character(s) are: Yuki, Toruo and thats all I remember about the characters names. Now on to the story, in it Toruo was carrying a fruit basket and she wound up at a house, it was a pretty house too. In another part (or always almost) Yuki and his 2 brothers and dad turn into animals not the same animals they all have there own. the dad turns into a dog, Yuki turns into a rat, and 1 brother turns into a cat and the other brother turns into a rabbit. Its a great series of books they are really fun to read they always have twists turns and always funny parts ! little bit of sadness. But other than that its very good. there are 5 or 6 books in all?(I think). It takes place in japan. The books just brighten me up inside it is a mixture of happiness, sorrow and exited.

    1. Riley, I have never read Fruits Basket books, but I enjoy anime very much, and your description convinced me I should give this series a try. I especially like the way you wrote that the books brighten you up, giving you a "mixture of happiness, sorrow and excited." My favorite books are those that make me feel all those things!

  15. WARNING! WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! BEWARE!!!
    My favorite book is Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. It's about when Harry, Ron and Hermione go on a search for horcruxes, so they can defeat the Dark Lord Voldermort. But when there comes a choice between the hallows and horcuxes, they have to choose defense or offense. Will they try to prevent Voldermort from getting the hallows and becoming more powerful? Or try to find horcruxes so they can kill him? Many other conflics come in their way, and they try to figure out the puzzle Dumbledore has left. It's adventure, fantasy, friendship, love, loss, and mystery. I love it more than any other book because it's so many things, and very intense. I dont think I would like it as much if sombody else wrote it, J.K. Rowling is SUCH a great author. It's a beautiful story, and I HIGHLY reccomend it.

    When Allie is chasing her teacher's dog in the woods of Fossil Glen, the person who killed Lucy is in the same woods.
    But as he is chasing Allie, he falls of the cliff near the edge.
    And in the end Allie becomes a hero.
