At the end of this Miraculous book Dead-End Job Devin tricks Frances into having dinner with him in the back of Highway Buy-way Convenience Store's washroom. "Frances you surprised me!" Devin was standing in the back room, holding a couple of wineglasses."

While reading this book I asked myself 'Is it really worth it, kidnapping a girl just because you think that tou love her?'

On the pages of Dead-End Job I can't help to wonder if Frances can survive the graveyard shift? 'I ran blindly into the store, sliding in my greasy shoses, knocking cans onto the floor, ramming into shelves. I fumbled for the phone. I picked up the reciever. I could feel Devin right behind me. I dialed nine, one... His hands slammed the phone down.' "I hoped it wouldn't come to this," he said.

Frances works in during the night so it's called the graveyard shift. So maybe, just maybe one of these days Frances just might not survive that graveyard shift...

Title of book: Stranger With My Face
Author of book: Lois Duncan
Pages read: Page 1- Page 126

My book Stranger With My Face is a book about an adopted child named Laurie Stratton and her blood related twin sister Lia Abbott. They don't have the same last name because their mother [who's name is unknown] gave them up for adoption. The Stratton's wanted to adopt a child because they weren't ready to have their children yet, so they went to the girls house and they chose their one child. Mrs. Stratton picked up Laurie and instantly loved her, but then she picked up Lia and she put her right back down in their playpen. So their mom ended up with Lia and eventually died. So seventeen [17] years passed by and Laurie was still with the Stratton's with two[2] other siblings Neal and Meagan[often called Meg], while her twin sister that she doesn't know about has been in four[4] foster homes.

So it was a week[7days ] before Laurie goes back to school and a boy named Gordon that never payed attention to her decided to start talking to her and said "is that a new swimsuit?" So she replied "No this is the same one that I had last year." So then Gordon replied back to her and said "Well something sure is different about. Why don't you set up camp and stay awhile? Want some lotion?" So Laurie said " No thanks I never burn." And then after that little conversation Laurie and Gordon started to talk more and eventually started going out. But then they hit a big bump in the road. Laurie was home, but her boyfreind Gordon swears that he saw her on the beach with another guy. And now her family insists that that they see her coming in and out of the housewhen she's been at school for hours. But how can she be in two places at one time?

Title of my book: Bull Rider
Author of my book: Marilyn Havorson
Pages read: Page 50 - Page 75



My book Bull Rider by Marilyn Havorson is about a boy named Layne and his little sister Tara [Terror as Layne calls her] that they keep big secrets from their mom. After Layne's little bull riding accident Jana's grandfather Chase Kincaid started to train Layne on bull riding . Chase is training Layne because Chase used to be one of the greatest bull riders of all time right before Layne's dad was killed. Layne's father was inspired by chase Kincaid.

I can infer that Layne's mother doesn't think that bull riding is safe [especially after what happened to his dad]. The book says " No Layne," said mom in a tight voice. Her eyes met mine again. "Not bull riding. You know how I feel about that." I knew all right. We'd been through this so many times before it was like living in an instant replay. But this tome I fought back. " Yeah and you know how I feel about it too." " I don't care how you feel," Mom shot back. "All I know is that I watched a bull kill my husband and there's no way I'll risk watching one kill my son." [Page 2, paragraph3, 4th sentence].

Dear Ms.Johns

My book Bull Rider by Marilyn Havorson is about this boy named Layne who's father was killed during a bull ride. Layne's fathers death encouraged him to become a bull rider. The only problem is that Layne's mother doesn't want him to be a bull riding cowboy and he still does it behind her back. One problem that he came in contact with was that he almost got killed by a bull named Rhino. His little sister Tara [aka Terror as Layne calls her] is always there with him because she loves her horse named Rambo at Jana's [Layne's best friend] parents rodeo.
What I can infer from my book Bull Rider by Marilyn Havorson is that Jana and Layne like each other because in my book after Layne's bull riding accident when Layne and Tara were on their way home Jan kissed Layne on the lips and in the sweetest voice she told Layne ''Be careful.'' 'One question that I would ask Marilyn Havorson is why doesn't Layne's mother think that he isn't bull riding? If Layne loves bull riding so much why doesn't she get it in her head that he isn't going to quit?'
