Drop Everything And Read Day-2012

Today is national Drop Everything And Read day. It is to celebrate Beverly Cleary's birthday. In Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Ramona's class has D.E.A.R. In that half an hour, they can read whatever they want. First, I finished Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. That is the second book of The Hunger Games series. Then, I started Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. That is the third and final book of The Hunger Games trilogy.



Have you read the Hunger Games?

The Hunger Games: Movie Review

Last weekend I saw the Hunger Games. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is based on the book trilogy. This is about the first book. That is the book that I'm reading right now. I'm about halfway done with it.

Here is my review:

The Hunger Games is about a country called Panem. There are twelve districts. The thirteenth was destroyed. Because of the war that made the districts, they made the Hunger Games for revenge. Prim Everdeem was called to be in the Hunger Games as the girl. Each district has to have a raffle for who will be in it unless someone volunteers. No one wants to be in it. You have to be 12-18 years old to be in the raffle. Because Katniss Everdeem does not want her sister in it she volunteers. The boy who is chosen is Peeta Mellark.

They have a mentor, Haymitch. He won it a long time ago. He is one of the only two people ever who have won for District 12. Also, they have someone named Effie who doesn't do that much to help them. They also have stylists. Katniss' is named Cinna. Peeta's is named Portia. Peeta has had a crush on her for a long time. Find out what happens in the games by reading the books or seeing the movie.

Here is a list of the most important characters:

1. Katniss

2. Peeta

3. Haymitch

4. Cinna

5. Effie

6. Prim

7. Gale

8. Rue

9. Prim and Katniss' mother

10. Cato

11. Portia

I give this movie an A+ and recommend that you read the book and watch the movie.

Have you read the book and/or watched the movie?

The Los Angeles Clippers: Edition 1

I will start doing a post about the Clippers at least once a week. In this edition I will tell you about Nick Young. The Clippers got him yesterday from the Washington Wizards. He is a great shooting guard. It will be great for the Clippers because he will probably start. He has no NBA awards from his career, but if he did I would list them.

The 2nd Ultimate Blogging Challenge: Round 1



The teams are Jaden and Mark vs. Jake and Ethan. Both teams will have two challenges. The first is write a post about your favorite sports team. The second is to write a book review. You will have one week to do both challenges. If you do the extra credit, you will get a life. The extra credit is to do as many posts as you can. If you do more than the other team, then you get a life.

39 Clues-Books 1-4

I've started a book series called 39 clues. I have been reading the for about 3 months. Right now, I am on book 5, but I'm almost on book 6. There are 11 books in the regular series. Then, there are 2 books in the Cahill vs. Vespers series. Book 3 will come out on March 6.

The 39 clues are about the biggest family ever. Almost every famous person ever that you can name was a Cahill. They are in a race for 39 clues. The teams are Dan and Amy Cahill, Ian and Natalie Kabra, Alistair Oh, the Holts, Irina Spasky, Jonah Wizard and Sinead, Ned, Ted Starling. The winner will become the most powerful Cahill of all-time.

The interesting thing is that there are about ten different authors for the 39 clues series. I have every single book.

Here are my rankings for the best books from one to five:

1. Book 5 by Patrick Carman

2. Book 1 by Rick Riordan

3. Book 3 by Peter Lerangis

4. Book 2 by Gordan Korman

5. Book 4 by Jude Watson

39 Clues has a website. It is a very good website. You can play the game and upload your cards. I recommend going on it. Here it is: http://www.the39clues.com/ I recommend 39 Clues to ages 8 and older.

A Hobby I Enjoy-Basketball

For the Awesome Blogging Tournament, I have to write a post on a hobby I enjoy. I'm going to write about basketball. It is very, very fun. I love watching and playing basketball.

Since I started basketball, I've always loved it. My first season, I wasn't that good. My second season, I was a little better, but still not as good as I wanted to be. I was the star of my team in my third and fourth seasons. This season, I've not been doing as good as I wanted. I enjoy playing the sport because I love to shoot and it is very fun to pretend that there are three seconds left in the championship game and I try to hit the game winning shot. I love watching it because I could see what I need to do to improve and it is fun to see players like Blake Griffin and Chris Paul doing great dunks, layups, threes, and clutch shots. All in all, I love the game of basketball.

Do you like basketball?
