A NOTE FROM BOOKER
Hello!
The wormkids have a really exciting school project this spring. My niece, named Gloss Ary, came over to the house this afternoon to tell me all about it. It seems the students in her class are going to pick characters in history to read about. Then, they are going to dress up like that person, and give a report about themselves in front of the class. Gloss Ary has always loved to read about royalty and has always wanted to be a queen one day. So, she picked her character to be Queen Mary, Queen of Scotland. Queen Mary was made queen at a very young age, so Gloss Ary thought that would make her a very interesting person to read about. She went to the library and checked out one of the books in the Royal Dairies series called Mary, Queen of Scots. She had a hard time deciding which book to read, so she decided to read the rest in the series after her project is finished. Her mother is going to make the costume for Gloss Ary to wear to school, and I have a feeling, she will have to make costumes for all the other royalties in that series. If you could dress up like a famous person in history, who would you choose?

I really like the first book of The Series of Unfortunate Events - The Series. I wanted to know what other people think about the book and the series if they read them all.
*****

All of the Circle of magic books. I can't find the 3rd or 4th books. Does any one Know where I can find the last two protector of the small ooks and the last two of The circle opens? Please help me.

i'm 11 years old,i'm here to tell you about three books that i just love to read!!!Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:this is a book for all ages or if you don't want for all the ages to read maybe for 8+ and thats it!!!!!!i love harry potter and the chamber of secrets because i think that it is the darkest book of all the other books!!!!i can't wait to see the next movie!!!!!!!!!
Lord Of The Rings:The FellowShip Of The Ring-this book is absulutly wonderful!all the dark things and the dark lord!it reminds me(when i'm reading it)of the harry potter books because young frodo baggins is the heir of bilbo baggins and frodo is,of course,orphaned!his parents died when he was only a young lad!and young harry potter,heir of:we dont know yet:is too orphaned!his parents died when he was onle a year old!!!not even i think!!!
The Hobbit Or There And Back Again:the hobbit is a very good proluege for the lord of the rings books!!!!i mean u can understand all the other books better when u read the hobbit!!!
That all the books that i love:there is more but i can't write them all down:this is all the good descripted books:even though there is more descripted books!
*****
I am reading a great book! The book is called The Boys Start the War by Phyllis Naylor. I am almost done and it is just a book you can't put down! The book reminds me of the boys at my school and they bug my friends and me! If you really enjoy reading, read this book. There are other books that go with this book, known as a series! And I'm going to read the other books too!
I also read Ella Enchanted. If you love fantasies you'll love this book! It is like a Cinderella story! I loved it so much I want to live as the life in the book! Even though the book is a fantasy it feels like it's realistic!!! So this is another suggestion!
*****
My favorite book is By The Great Horn Spoon. I have not finished it yet, but so far it is very cool and funny.
*****

This is to the person who said that the Left Behind Books were boring:
I'm the first person who mentioned that series in this newsletter, and I think that you should keep your negative opinions to yourself. That author slaved away to get those books published. Jerry B Jenkins is my hero!!! A Fellow Bookworm
*****
I think everyone should read the Tamora Pierce books because she is one of the best authors (i think) in the world.
*****
There are a lot of books that I am currently reading, and I suggest that you read these books: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett and The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. These are both classics, and I knew they were great because both the characters and plots are well-made by the time I was in the middle of reading them. I also recommend the Harry Potter series and schoolbooks (Quidditch through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.), Sweet Valley series (mind you, this is my largest collection. I have SV High, SV twins and more) Goosebumps, The Unicorn Club, and all the Baby-Sitters Club books. And by these, you know that I am a bookworm don't you? I am one, and when I finished important tasks in my free time, you'll find me in my bedroom reading books, writing stories or reading magazines such as Questor, Seventeen, Chalk, Star Studio and Candy when I'm not surfing the Internet. Until next time, adios!!!

It almost feels like the world is coming to an end. Jews everywhere are suffering. Why must they do this? Isreal. Hear me! My heart is breaking! Don't they see? Why must they do this? I must speak out! You must hear me! Listen! The world needs one more thing! Peace. The valleys, to the prairies, to the mouantains, to the deserts to the forests, to the earth itself.
*****
When a book isn't interesting it takes me a while to read it because I dont want to read it. I read Are You There God Its Me Maragrot in less than 1-2 hours. The book I'm reading now is also soooooo good it is A Wrinkle In Time
*****
Has anyone read Redwall books? I have read all of the ones that are out. I have also read Little Women. It was awesome. What is your fave book?

*****
I love to read. I try to before I go to bed every night. My favorite book has to be Little Women. Redwall books are awesome too. I like Harry Potter too. Right now I am reading The Yearling. I am not too far into it yet. Books rock!

I just finished Holes by Louis Sachar this morning. It was a wonderful book. When they stepped into the hole with the nest of the yellow spotted lizards I almost fell out of my bed! It was a wonderful book and I give it 5 stars!
*****

Me and my friends read a book about kids who made up there own language. We made up one ourselves. Here are the rules:
say the vowels names.
add a "op" to every consonant.
Example:
I like to ride my bike and walk my dog.
I lopikope topo mopy bopikope anopdop mopy dopogop.
This language also helps spelling!
