The pages are p. 7-91 it starts on Life of Crime and ends on Superfriends. The story starts out at the Krusty Krab. I like this good book and it writing by Stephen Hillenburg. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

Summary of The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer


The pages are p. 7-239 it starts on Chapter 1 and ends on Chapter 20. The story starts out he was a little boy. I like this good book and it writing by Mark Twain. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

He all ways get an trouble. Tom lived with his Aunt Polly, his cousin Mary, and his half-brother Sid. She found out that Tom was playing hooky from school and going swimming. He had to whitewashing 30 yards of fence on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Ben Rogers wants Tom to Go Swimming, but he can't. As he passed the house where Jeff Thatcher lived, he saw a girl in the garden-a new girl he had never seen before. On Chapter 2 it said about on Monday morning and Tom Sawyer was miserable. He had to go to school.

He had a loose upper front teeth. He moons and goons. His cousin said "I...I think he's dying." So, Aunt Polly pulling his tooth. He find Huckleberry Finn was the son of the town drunkard and was free to come and go as he pleased. He always dressed in cast off clothes and incredible rags. He slept in doorways or empty barns and never had to go to school or church. In short, he was the envy of every boy in town, but he was treated as an outcast by their mothers.

He kissed Becky was his girlfriend. He sail on Jackson's Island. They saw a boat shooting at them. They had to eat fish for dinner. The pirates return to camp to fire again. They thought the three boys are dead, but they didn't. He got the measles. Tom was a hero.

Long story short they going to plan a another adventure together. The author biography said "He was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in a small Missouri town in 1835. After piloting river steamers along the Mississippi for four years, he began writing humorous short stories for newspapers. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was Twain's first full-length novel. Many of thee adventures of Tom and Huck Finn actually happened to Twain in his boyhood. Even though Twain wrote this book mainly to entertain boys and girls, he hoped that adults would read and enjoy it, and recall their own childhood. He died in 1910. But he left the world a true picture of American life and the American spirit in his novels, short stories, and other writings." It said in the 1989 book.

Summary of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth


The pages are p. 1-218 it starts on September, Friday and ends on November, Saturday. The story starts out as It's been almost a half weeks since me and my ex-best friend, Rowley Jefferson, had our big fight. I like this good book and it writing by Jeff Kinney. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

To be honest with you, I thought he would've come crawling back to me by now, but for some reason, that hasn't happened. I'm actually starting to get a little concerned, because school starts back up in a few days, and if we're gonna get this friendship back on track, something needs to happen quick. If me and Rowley really ARE through, that would stink, because the two of us had a pretty good thing going. He find two people was Christopher Brownfield and Tyson Sanders. Then he find Fregley. He was going to be a famous person one of these days. On September, Saturday he saw his friend name Brian owns "Cool Brian." On September, Tuesday it was his first day of school and he said he got a book last year was a math book named Bryan Goot.

Now this year he have Jordan Jury book. Speaking of popular kids, I sat near Bryce Anderson and his group of friends at lunch today. Bryce is basically the Jordan Jury of my grade, and he's got a bunch of cornies who are always going along with everything he says. On September, Friday he heard that Rowley is going to a rock concert tonight. He is going to Joshie popular guy singer. He said some kids in my grade who post their pictures online. On September, Wednesday this year everyone is taking Advanced Health, which covers some top-secret stuff that I guess they didn't think we were ready for until now. They were watching a movie about "Say Hello to the BRAND-NEW YOU!"

Then Rowley fell asleep all of the movie they watch. He never saw Cool Brian for a while. Last year's Health class when they did a smoking unit. The teacher said that you never know who's going to offer you a cigarette, and that it could even be your best friend. Well, after Rowley heard THAT, he wouldn't even walk on the same side of the street as me for a solid MONTH. Believe me, I don't need some teacher to tell ME it's not cool to smoke. On September, Monday his dad said this Uncle Gary, got engaged to his girlfriend, Sonja. On November, Saturday his Uncle Gary got married and went to his ninety years old Gammie's house.

Long story short is his friend is back together. The author biography said "He is an online game developer and designer, and a #1 New York Times bestselling author. In 2009, he was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. He is also the creator of Poptropica.com. He spent his childhood in the Washington, D.C., area and moved to New England in 1995. Jeff lives in southern Massachusetts with his wife and their two sons." It said in the 2010 book 5.

Summary of The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary


The pages are p. 1-202 it starts on A Wimp Is Born and ends on Credits. The story starts out is their how to make a movie. I like this good book and it writing by Jeff Kinney. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

Greg Heffley was created in January 1998 in a small apartment in Massachusetts. One month later, Zachary Gordon was born on the other side of the country, in California. But eleven years later, the two would come together when Zach was chosen to play the part of Greg in the live-action "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie. This book is the story of how a little idea got turned into a major motion picture, and how a fictional cartoon character became a real boy. They had giant 1,300-page book that was first published online. More than 90% of the material written in the sketch pad didn't make the final cut. A year later, an editor in New York decided to publish "Diary of a Wimp Kid." And that's how Greg Heffley made the leap from a sketch pad to a printed book.

A few months later, Zach Gordon, now working as an actor in television and film, read the book and told his mom he hoped someone would make it into a movie. And if they did, he told her, he wanted to play the part of Greg Heffley. The Hollywood was thinking turn the book to a movie. How to looking for a direction of the movie? So, they picked Thor Freudenthal was born in Germany. He find a part of Rowley Jefferson was found in Rhode Island, and his name was Robert Capron. Robert had done some stage and film acting as well. Greg's Dad was Steve Zahn, Rodrick was Devon Bostick, and Mom was Rachael Harris.

They film in Vancouver, Canada. Here are some more actors Patty Farrell (Laine Macneil), Darren Walsh (Harrison Houde), Fregley (Grayson Russell), and Chirag (Karan Brar). They couldn't find anyone to do Manny part so, they find Connor and Owen Fielding. The girl was Angie (Chloe Moretz). So, they took three schools in to one school is Shaughnessy Elementary School, Van Tech Secondary School, and Templeton Secondary School as Westmore Middle School. They get a trailer are like rooms on wheels. They have blue backdrop is a "blue screen." They made Rodrick's band van called Loded Diper.

Long story short they made a DVD on any shot they made. The credits said "FOX 2000 Picture Presents. A COLOR FORCE Production. "DIARY OF A WIMPY KID." Greg Heffley ZACHARY GORDON. Rowley Jefferson ROBERT CAPRON. Susan Heffley RACHAEL HARRIS. and Frank Heffley STEVE ZAHN. Music Supervisor JULIA MICHELS. Music by THEODORE SHAPIRO. Co-Producer ETHAN SMITH.

Summary of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days


The pages are p. 1-218 it starts on June and ends on August. The story starts out is their summer break on June, Friday through August, Sunday. I like this good book and it writing by Jeff Kinney. If you want to check out this book go to the library and pick it up.

On June, next Friday Greg and Rowley his best friend came over to his house and look at Greg's older brother Rodrick's room in his junk drawer. They find a keychains you get at the beach and is a picture of Rodrick and a girl. So, he gave his friend to look in it too! So, they look deeper and find a horror movie says "Hello, You're Dead." Then, Greg told his mom can Rowley could spend the night, and she said yes. He said "Last summer Rowley spent the night at my house, and we slept in the basement." At about 1:00 in the morning, we heard something in the furnace room that scared the living daylights out of us. It sounded like a little ghost girl or something, and it said - "I'm hiding...can you find me?

They went to Greg's Mom and Dad's room, and he told them our house was haunted and we had to move immediately. His dad didn't seem convinced, and he went down to the basement and walked right into the furnace room. Me and Rowley stayed about ten feet back. Greg was pretty sure his dad wasn't going to get out of there alive. Greg heard some rustling and a few bumps, and Greg was ready to make a run for it. But a few seconds later he came back out with one of Greg's little Manny's toys, a doll named Hide-and-Seek Harry. They waited for Greg's Mom and Dad to go to bed, and then we watched our movie. His friend cover his eyes and ears the whole movie. The movie was about this muddy hand that goes around the country killing people.

And the last person who sees the hand is always the next victim. The special effects were really cheesy, and Greg wasn't scared until the very end. They spend the night in the bathroom in the bathtub with the lights on. They fell asleep and his dad came over and find them in the bathroom. On June, next Tuesday his mom got them to do a Reading Is Fun Club at Greg's house they had 5 boys there count 1 is Greg the total is 6 boys. So, she told them to bring a book to read and here is some of the 4 titles "Sudoku Insanity", "Ultimate Video Game Cheats Vol. 8", "Green Wasp", and "Xtreme Pop-Up Sharks." So his mom gave some books when she was a kid and here is some of the 4 titles "Little Women", "The Yearling", "Old Yeller", and "Anne of Green Gables." And, so Greg said when he was eight years old.

Long story short he got a job being a lawn service job. The author biography said "He is an online game developer and designer, and a #1 New York Times bestselling author. In 2009, he was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. He spent his childhood in the Washington, D.C., area and moved to New England in 1995. He lives in southern Massachusetts with his wife and their two sons." It said in the 2009 book 4. The website is http://www.wimpykid.com/.
