One thing I did well in my mock up was i added all the dtails like i added the brief discription for the characters i also added the main problem of the characters.

One thing I can do to make my project better is add another main character in my mock up.

            Half Human by DJ. Malcolm.  DJ. Malcolm has been writing stories since she was six years old.  Now I will give a brief summary of the book.

            This book is about a girl named Nancy and she had problems in her life and she lived in Manhattan New York.  A princess born with the strength to clutch a sword tip.  A boy that cannot fly.  In the story Nancy lives a typical life and wonders if she can be a princess and have a servant that can fly.  But that's not real she thought.

            One inference I made during reading was that I can infer that Nancy will become a princess.

            One image I made during reading was that I can see that Nance is going to become the princess in the story.

            I recommend this book to girls that want to be a princesses because its dream of Nancy.

            Dogsong by Gary Paulsen.  Gary Paulsen dedicated this song to Ky -Gwa-Daush.  I haven't finished reading but I am willing to give some information on the book.

            There was a boy named Russel Susskit and something is boring him. He hates when his father coughs and wakes him up at morning.  So Russel is frustrated with is life and he decides hell sing to be calm.  He sings many songs but he doesn't like them so he comes with better songs than he tries other songs but no the songs he sang he didn't like any.

            One inference I made so far was that I can infer that Russel is trying his best to make up a nice song but is just not pleasing him.

            One image I made so far was I can see that Russel will have an emotional breakdown because he cant find out what to write and I can also see that he will be very upset on his fathers coughing and his life and the music that he makes cause there not making his life easier there making it hard for him.

            I would recommend this book to many people that play music because it teaches people to never give up on your dream.

            Nightmare room by R.L Stine.  R.L Stine is the authors of the series fear street, nightmare room, give yourselves Goosebumps, and the phenomenally successful Goosebumps.  Now I will give a summary of the book.

            There is a boy named Alex Smith and his life is rough before he had found a journal and that journal is scary because it tells Alex’s future on what’s going to happen next day.  So when Alex got the journal he would use it for looking on what’s going to happen the next day.  So one day he got back from school and saw written dear diary im dead and he got really scared.  The next day he made sure nothing would hurt him so he was extra careful.  Alex was walking home and he saw a dog on the street and a car was coming so Alex sprint to rescue the dog and he saved the dog but he got hit hard and everything went dark.

            One inference I made during reading the book was when Alex got hit by a car and the diary said dear diary im dead.  I said this because the diary told the future that he would be dead.

            One image I made during reading was that I can see that Alex wanted to save the dog for his life.

            I recommend this book to many of my classmates because this book is really fun to read because its about a boy and a diary that knows whats going to happen the day after tomorrow.

            The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson.  Katherine Paterson was born in china, where she spent part of her childhood.  Now I will give a brief summary of the book.

            Gilly Hopkins was a foster girl that didn't want to stay with anyone because she didn't trust them.  Then when people would keep her then she would make their lives miserable and then they would return her to the foster homes. Then one day another women had picked her up and Gilly Hopkins was ready but then she saw that the lady was nice and then she thought that there was no point of leaving so soon and she decided to stay for a longer time.

            One connection I made while reading is that when people take Gilly to there homes and they have to return her cause she makes their lives miserable.  I can connect to this because many young foster kids just don't like getting taken away by people that they don't trust to be their parents in the future so some of them do crazy things to get away.

            One image I mad while reading was that I can see that Gilly is a very tough girl to handle with because she doesn't respect others.

            I recommend this book to many of my friends because this book is really interesting because it's about a kid that tries to get away from people she doesn't trust and it's also a comedy book.
