Hi 4th grade!
I have created this blog just so we can begin to talk about good books that we have read.
I want to start with E.L. Konisburg’s From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenweiler. This is one of the books I read many years ago but picked up again because it is full of adventure and excitement. Imagine if you were tempted to run away from home, and chose the best place for hiding…. in a museum after closing. You find a sculpture that you suspect is very valuable but all the keys to unlocking the mystery are a complete mess. There are many clues mixed up and time is running out. You must uncover the secret behind the statue and it’s previous owner. One by one you sort and sort and you find that Mrs. Basil E. Frankenweiler is ……? I don’t want to give the whole story away but if you want a page turning mystery try this book. ~McAuley

Comment by amcauley 03.26.07 @ 3:06 pmHey everybody!
I just got finished reading a book called Among The Barons by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I chose this book because I liked the way Mrs.Mcauley did the book talk for Among the Hidden. Two other people got that book so that is why I got this one. Imagine if you had to go into hiding because you were an illegal third child. You had to get a fake I.D. and go to a special school away from your parents. Your fake I.D. is the I.D. of a person that is dead and his brother is still alive. That particular brother has to come to your school because he wants to see you. Will he give away your true identity to every body he sees? You will have to read the book to find out.
