A Beacon Street Girls Fan


Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure: Freestyle With Avery By: Annie Bryant deserves a five star review!When Avery hears she gets to visit her dad this summer in Colorado she is psyched! Because of her parents' separation, Avery doesn't get to see her dad often. Avery is an energetic, sporty and fun-loving girl so when she gets to Colorado and hears there is a minor snowboarding competiton she is totally in! Also, when she hears her dad has a girlfriend who has a know-it-all daugher who is a year older than her and an evil cat named Farkle (a.k.a franken-cat), Avery just doesn't know how to handle it! Is too much pressure for Avery to be focused on the competition????


Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure: Maeve on the Red Carpet By Annie Bryant definitely deserves a five star rating! Maeve, a twelve year old girl, finds out that her dad and a famous producer are hosting a winter break film camp in her family's movie house. Maeve is planning on attending the camp while Maeve's little brother, Sam, has plans to spend the week with grandpa. When Sam discovers that grandpa has the flu, his vacation plans are changed and he ends up having to attend the camp. Sam ends up being the "filmotographer." When the famous movie producer's daughter, Maddie, arrives in a stretch limo, Maeve decides that she must be friends with this girl. For the first few days, Maddie was nice to her. When they have a sleepover, they both share their ideas for film camp and both love each other's ideas. The next day when everyone is sharing their movie ideas at camp, Maddie steals Maeve's idea!!! The directors chose Maeve's movie idea that Maddie stole (Maddie got credit for the idea). Now friendship is totally over. Both girls are fighting for the lead role. When Maeve finds out that there is a much more interesting role, she decides she should give up the fight and go for that. The whole time, Sam was shooting embarrassing moments of Maeve and made that into a little ad at the end of the movie called "Red Fooey". From "Red Fooey," Maeve ends up being the star and having a happy ending!!

A Magic Tree House fan!

Dinosaurs Before Dark. Jack and Annie found a treehouse. Annie climbed up the treehouse ladder. Jack was calling Annie to climb down. Annie poked her head out the window and said "BOOKS"! Jack climb up the treehouse ladder. Annie looked at a castle book and Jack looked at a dinsaur book.

A Goosebumps Fan!

Sean Abney says:

The book I read was titled Goosebumps Horrorland "Monsterblood For Breakfast" by: R.L. Stine. I felt terrified reading Goosebumps even though it's not real. Goosebumps Horrorland is really scary because you don't know what's going to happen next. The title " Monsterblood For Breakfast " made me think it was monsters' actual blood for breakfast. When I finished reading the book I felt accomplished and a little scared.

The Mancusos Prefer:


alex mancuso: Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This book is for people who love comedy. It is sooooooooo funny.


abby mancuso: Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Found is one of my favorite books. It is for people who love mysteries. It involves time travel, ghosts, and three kids who figured out they are adopted and eventually came from the 1800s. At the end of the book they go back in time and it ends with a cliff hanger to the next book called Sent! I recomend this book for teen mystery readers!

Elizabeth Recommends:

Fancy Nancy Pajama Day. In Fancy Nancy Pajama Day I learned about feeling left out. I like it because it has a happy ending.

Horton Hatches An Egg. A bird wants to go on vacation and asks an elephant to sit on her egg. Horton, the elephant, is kind to help her. The story is silly and the ending has a funny surprise.
