 * Number || Date || Title || Author || Genre || Pages || Comment ||
 * 1 || 9/14/11 || Flat Broke || Gary Paulsen || Realistic-Fiction || 118 || Very good book but you should read the first book Liar, Liar. ||
 * 2 || 9/26/11 || Charlottes Web || E. B. White || Fantasy || 184 || Great book but it is very sad because Charlotte the spider dies near the end of the book. ||
 * 3 || 10/3/11 || Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator || Roal Dahl || Fantasy || 159 || Great book I'd recommend it to everyone my age because it has a lot of funny lines and is not too long to finish in a week ||
 * 4 || 10/13/11 || The Fall || Garth Nix || Fantasy || 195 || It is very good but, I really want to read the next book because it is very interesting at the end. ||
 * 5 || 11/16/11 || The Cat Who Came For Christmas || Cleveland Armory || Biography || 240 || A book for anyone of us who is the cat owned because the book has many parts that only people with cats would understand. ||
 * ||  || XXXXXXXXXX ||   ||   ||   || CAN'T BELIEVE THE LAST BOOK YOU READ WAS ON NOV. 11TH. YOU NEED TO GET CAUGHT UP, GET ON A SCHEDULE, AND PLAN TO FINISH ONE BOOK A WEEK. YOU ALSO NEED TO INCLUDE REASONS FOR YOUR COMMENTS. ||
 * 6 || 1/23/12 || Ghost Canoe || Will Hobbs || Adventure/Fantasy || 193 || This wasn't my most favorite book because it takes a lot of time to get to the climax so there was a lot of not as interesting stuff more in the beginning. I did like it when it came to the climax because that was when all the good action was happening. ||
 * ||  || Laurence Howard ||   || THANKS B & L ||   || Ben will write up "Ghost Canoe" which he read today. He is planning to read 'Jason's Gold" as his next book. He will be reading 33 pages per day to finish in one week. ||
 * 7 || 1/29/12 || Jason's Gold || Will Hobbs || Adventure/History/Fiction || 216 || This was one extremely sad book because so many people and especially animals were getting killed. That was sad because in one part the dog that Jason meets gets killed, and I'm still feeling sad about that. I also didn't like the book because it was very not to the point so not a lot happened. Another reason I didn't like the book is because it was all really negative and nothing really happened till' the end of the book. ||
 * ||  || Laurence Howard ||   ||   ||   || Ben finished book today. His reading plan only fell short one day when he left the book at school. This was one slow moving and really sad book. Would not recommend to other younger readers. ||
 * 8 || 2/5/12 || The Kid Who Got Zapped through Time || Deborah Scott || Science-Fiction || 154 || This book was a short read and yet a very enjoyable one. It really made me think about how lucky I am to live in a time like now where all are equal, go to school, and not many starve. The kids in the book had a very interesting personality because he was acting so modern to the people in the Medieval times. What I found very sad was that the upper-class treated the lower-class or serfs horribly by feeding them garbage and making them do work for no pay at all. ||
 * ||  || Tim Duffy ||   ||   ||   || finished this one and will start next book tomorrow. ||
 * 9 || 2/12/12 || Boy || Roal Dahl || Auto-Biography || 375 ||  ||
 * 10 || 2/19/12 || Going Solo || Roal Dahl || Auto-Biography || 210 ||  ||
 * 11 || 2/26/12 || Island of the Blue Dolphins || Scott O'Dell || Historic-Fiction || 184 ||  ||
 * 12 || 3/5/12 || Chasing Vermeer || Blue Balliet || Realistic-Fiction || 272 ||  ||
 * 13 || 3/22/12 || Joseph's Choice || Bonnie Pryor || Historic-Fiction || 176 ||  ||
 * 14 || 4/4/12 || Downriver || Will Hobbs || Adventure/Realistic Fiction || 204 || I thought this book had a real moral in it which is to stick with your friends and family. The part I thought was best in the book was the ending because the main character Jessie ends up with her close, family-less, homeless, and superstitious friend or as she would say her "sister". The part where I think the book got its name was when Jessie while going down a very difficult river yelled "//Downriver".// The part I liked best about the book was when all of the teens decided to leave Al the "Hoods In The Woods" leader and go and have a real adventure on the Grand Canyon. ||
