I like this book because it is scary and funny at the same time.
As I was reading this the book i was thinking of how good Andy Griffiths is as writing stores and wondering how I would react to THE PENCIL OF DOOM if I was in that tricky situation.
What the story's is based on is a pencil that has a scull rubber on the end. Jack draws a picture of the 2 bullies in the school that is very violent with the evil pencil.Then strangely it actually happens!! Everyone except for Jack believes that this pencil is magical. So, they tested it out by drawing a picture each of something they would like.Jenny who wanted a kitten drew one. Gretel drew her self beating her dad in arm wrestling because she can beat everyone(including her gym teacher)in arm wrestling except for her dad.Henry drew him-self winning northwest chronicle's shot story competition because he wanted to win! Jack drew him in a pile of a million dollars!!
And you know why,don't you?Anyway,I have only read up to where Jack got his surprise.He w3as at school and there was a robbery!The police man where chasing the robber and the robber threw a bag onto Jack and money blasted out everywhere!Then the police saw Jack with money all over him and and thought that he did the crime!At least Mr.Brain fright was there to stick up for Jack.I tell you that pencil is evil!!!!!!!!

Fortune Cookie
Very funny, fantastic, adventurest and creative read.
I like this book because it is about a dog and I like dogs heaps.
The basics facts of this book is it is about 2 girls, 1 little boy and cookie the dog.
An old woman had a dog and she treated the dog like a piece of dirt.
The 2 girls felt sorry for the dog and visited the dog everyday.
They named him cookie and 1 day they took 1 of the girls younger brother(he is disabled)and he just loved cookie.
1 day the old women caught the kids patting the dog threw the fence and she went balistic!
But strangly she gave the kids cookie!!!!
It was basically Joeys(little boy)and he loved him.
Then they found out that the dog is hurt and it will cost 500 dollars!!
Now the 2 girls are doing anything they can to get enough money.
If they don't they will have to put cookie down.

MYST
In class we are doing a computer game called ''MYST''to help with our writing.
It is really creative because you can get onto different worlds!!
There are 5 world's to visit and we have visited 2 so far.
This help's our writing because when we go into mysteryous rooms we write sentences to discrib -e it.
For example: to me this library is not an ordinary library, it is a haunted library.
We are the Person visiting the island so you have to think like you are the person there.
The 2 worlds I have visited so far are creepy, mysteryous and adventurest.
I can't wait to find out more!!

St John Viannie
Today is St John Viannie's day.I am going to tell you what happened in St John Viannie's life. he was born in France 1786 on the 8th of may and died on the 4th of August 1859. He worked on his fathers farm for 14 years just waiting to be a priest.He tried 3 times to be a priest but could never got5 it right.Finally, on the 3rd time the pope saw that he could do it and he became a priest.He was a priest at the ''ARS''church. He hardley got any sleep because he was alway's listening to peoples confession's. people started to bullie him and hurt him but he never told the police, he just ignored them. He died at the age of 72 and after 63 years he became a saint. He is now also known as the patron saint of preists.
