♫♪ Book Fair ♪♫

Today was my class's time to go shopping at our book fair. I spent $26. But, that's not so bad. At least I spent $ on books! So here's what I got...

1) Junk Food... Jonas Brothers book. It's all about the Jonas Brothers. But, not all of it's facts are true. They said that Nick's birthday is November 16! It's not! His birthday is on SEPTEMBER 16. November 16 was the day that Nick was diagnosed with diabetes!

2) Listen!- (Let me type in some of the bask of this book...)
For 12 year old Charley, recovering from the accident that shattered her leg is nowhere neat as difficult as facing the solitude of a summer without her best friends and with a father who does nothing, now, but work. Solitude means time to think, time to hear for the first time the awful silence left in her world two years ago by her mother's death. But the summer holds a surprise for Charley, in the form of a mysterious dog who appears in the woods across the lake from her home. In order to connect with this wild spirit she names Coyote, Charley will have to do more than just walk. She will have to follow Coyote into the heart of her memories: the woods her mother loved so much. And she will have to learn to listen past the silence.

Sounds good, huh?

3)11 Birthdays- On their first birthday, they learned to walk. On their fifth, they planted seeds in handmade pots. On their tenth, they learned there are some words you can never take back.

Amanda's eleventh birthday should be a happy occasion. Instead she's dressed in an itchy costume her mother picked out for her boring Hollywood-themed party while, across town, her ex-best friend, Leo, is celebrating their joint birthday with a huge bash including a hypnotist, a football star, a giant iguana, and a rock band. SO not fair!

Amanda can't wait for the day AFTER her birthday so she can stop thinking about the fight that led her and Leo to have separate parties for the first time in their lives. There's just one problem. The next day is her birthday again!

In this hilarious and touching adventure, Amanda must figure out how to get unstuck, in more ways than one.

4) Coke or Pepsi. It's like a would you rather kind of book where you fill in your answers with friends. It's really cool.

Well, i gtg. I'm going back to the book fair soon. ttyl!
