My stories

Is anyone interested in my stories?
I'm thinking of posting them on my blog. Would you read them?

I have one really cool one called Indigo Letters about a girl and her friends.
And then I have the sequel to Indigo Letters. It's called Mushing Kid where the girl has an adventure with her sled-dogs.
Then, I'm writing the third one called Several Stories. 

But I'm also writing a really cool one about a girl who's parents are paleontologists. For a month, they've gone away on a "business trip" and they are taking Meghan's dog with them.
Ugh.
Meghan is staying at her Great Uncle Charley's house which is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring. But when Uncle Charley introduces her to his next-door neighbor, a girl Meghan's age, she is thrilled.
Raina invites Meghan over to a party, where she learns that Raina's brother Ricky has a really bad cancer. In two weeks, Raina's family is going to California where Ricky will get treatment... and Meghan goes with. But she's scared.

Well, thanks!!!

Need more books? Oh, and a little book review.

Is anyone looking for more books? Leave a comment with what kind of book you're looking for. Fiction, nonfiction, adventure, fantasy, mystery or horror? Actually, don't ask me for a good horror books because I don't read horror!!!


And here is a book that I finished reading some time ago. It's called Smile and it's a graphic novel by Raina Telgemeier. First of all, her name ROCKS and the book is AWESOME and the cover is my FAVORITE COLOR----It's an aqua/teal color :).
It's about all the dental drama that a girl named Raina goes through. It based of the author's experiences. Raina is becoming a teen and lots of times... that means BRACES!!!!!
All I can say after I read it is... POOR RAINA!!!!

Umbrella Summer

This is such a great book.

10-Year-Old Annie Richards is very, very, very sad. Her 11-year-old brother, Jared, had just died. Now Annie won't eat hot dogs anymore (you might get food poisoning!!!) and ride down hill on a bike (you could fall and crack your skull open!) and is now convinced that she has Ebola.
Annie Richards is under an Umbrella of Sadness and thinks that she could die any second, yet she is very healthy (that's what her friend Rebecca's dad, who is a doctor, says).
But when an elderly, boring old neighbor moves into the "haunted house" down the street, she thinks that maybe she can close Annie's umbrella.

    Puppy Place series


    These stories are bit young for me (80 large-font pages usually) but I still enjoy them. Written by Ellen Miles, these books were my first chapter books! I've read all 28 of them except three: (bandit, cocoa and rocky). I started reading them when I was six or seven and I still do when I'm bored.
    They're about a two kids that foster dogs. My family fostered a dog before and we ended keeping him. He's now ten years old. We also fostered kittens before (about five of them at once!)
    Ellen Miles also writes a series called Kitty Corner (I've read one and it's pretty good!)

    Anyway, Happy Saturday and Happy Reading!

    The Swindle Series

    I rate the Swindle series 5 STARS! I read Swindle recently and I got Showoff from Scholastic in early January. I almost finished it but then I read something else... I hate when I do that...
    I have only read a few pages of ZooBreak and I have not read anything from Framed.
    I think this series is great though! I love all the characters, especially Savannah Drysdale!
    Great for both boys and girls, this series is geared towards elementary students but any kid would enjoy them!
    Great job, Gordon Korman!
