  1. how is scorpion? because people say in scorpion that someone has to sell crack cocaine to save their mom or something but it seems confusing because why sell crack when you can just get a job to save her?

  2. My book is Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes, and this book is kinda like an only child book because theres one kid and he is their only child so you know what that means he is spoiled. His mom and dad have seperated so he is by himself with his mom. So his mom says he gets what he wants because he is the only child.my opinion is that if I was him then I would wanna know what I would want. So what does he want he should know.

  6. I am reading "The Big Empty" by J.B. Stephens. This book is about a town in L.A, which got struck by a virus that killed millions, Strain 7. Strain 7 is a respiatory/ breathing system virus. It can take a person out in a week of the first symptoms. In this book, a girl named keely[not k-e-l-l-y] was L.A at the time of Strain 7. Her father, sister and freinds got killed by this horrible epidemic. Now she will go west of Pittsburgh and east of Reno with six of her brave friends.

  9. So far on this book hush things haven't been going great. They are the same but Evie saw a girl walk by and thought that it was one of her friends from denver! She came closer and Evie was going to say "hey remember me it's Toswiah Green. We goto the same school!!" When the girl came closer she realize that wasn't the right girl!! They smiled at each other and walked away. The only reason they did this to their family is because Evie's dad inferred that the two teacher murdered a boy and i guess he was wrong so they had to move. probably because of the suspense but its a real good book everyone should read it . I know one thing for sure i love it!!
