Books, books, and more books! Part 2

Remember this post? Here is Part 2:

by: Nehemiah

In the Jordan household we are still reading more and more books. Our lists are so full that we had to get new pages. Like I did last time, I will list my three favorite books or series of books. here we go:

My favorite series of books (so far) is the Left Behind . This is the younger version of those Left Behind in the end times. Judd, Vicki, Ryan, and Lionel are the main characters in the book series. The Christians in the book can tell what will happen next by studying the book of Revelation that is in the end of the Bible. These kids try to stay alive through the seven year tribulation. This is a very exciting book series!

Book 2 is called Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing. This book is about a fourth grader that has (what he thinks is the biggest problem ever) a younger brother named Fudge! The fourth grader's name is Peter. The grown-ups think Fudge is an angel. When Fudge broke his two front teeth trying to fly. Decides that he wants to be a dog and even swallows a turtle! This is a funny book. Both my Mom and Dad read this when they were little!

Book 3 is Wayside school gets a little stranger. For 285 days, Wayside school has been under construction. Now it is opened up! Wayside school is a thirty story building with one classroom each story. But there is no nineteenth floor. Mrs. Zarves is the teacher of the nineteenth story. There is no Mrs. Zarves. The kids have many adventures in the thirty chapter book. It is a cool book!

I liked Stuart Little because he got to go down the drain! It was really cool because he was looking for Mrs. Little's ring!

I also liked Little House in the Big Woods. I liked it because Pa got to hunt for bears and other animals!

Books, Books, and more Books!

For our summertime reading, we have been keeping a log of the books we read. Nehemiah and Mordecai's lists have been growing quickly! They both love to read and are fast! It's been great to keep a log, for many reasons. They think it will be fun to look back on in a few years, and even when they have their own children! I agree!

So, today I gave Nehemiah and Mordecai the assignment to go over their lists of books and write down which books were their favorite so far and why. Then, I told them we could post their "reviews" on this blog. So, here you go! I hope to have them do this several times this summer!

This is Nehemiah's first post ever!

Since May I have been keeping a list of books I have read. I am going to write my three favorite books and tell a little about them.

My first favorite is: The Tombs of Anak, by Frank Peretti. When Jay and Lila Cooper enter the Tombs of Anak with their archaeologist father, they hope to find a coworker who has disappeared. Instead they stumble in to new mysteries. There is a villain named Ha-Raphah. They know they can't avoid this villain - whatever he is. The Coopers face lots of mysteries they have to unravel. This is a good book!

My second favorite book is: The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende. This book is about a boy named Bastian that gets a book and reads it in an attic. When he reads it he discovers that in this world called Fantastica, there is a "nothing" eating up anything it can.. When you look into the "nothing" it is not a hole it is nothing. The childlike empress is sick so she sends a boy to find a cure for her. He has lots and lots of adventures. Bastian the boy reading the book, discovers he gets to be in the book and help to find a cure for the empress. This is a good book!

My third favorite book is: The House on the Cliff. This is a Hardy Boys book. The Hardy's discover many adventures. This was my favorite Hardy Boys book that I have read.

This is Mordecai's first post ever!

I have read 13 books so far this summer. My favorite books were Charlotte's Web and The Horse that Played Centerfield.

I liked The Horse that Played Centerfield because it was very exciting. This was my Dad's favorite book growing up, too. I read his copy.

I liked Charlotte's Web because the animals can talk.
