Laura Pena - Week 5 Reading Journal lyrics

9-9 The book "Forged By Fire" talks about Gerald, a three year old boy that at his short age, faces many difficult situations throughout his life. His mom is a drug addict that doesn't care much about her children. One time, Gerald was left home alone and he started to play with his "fire friend" which was his mom's lighter. Suddenly, he set the house on fire and was close to die. 9-10 I'm reading " My Double Life" by Janette Rallison. Alexia gets a call from Kari Kingsley manager but she thinks it is a prank call made by her rival at school so she hung up. Alexia's mom tells her that she received a call from school to ask her if she would allow them to give out alexia's number to the celebrity Kari Kingsley's manager. Then, Alexia found out that the called she received earlier wasn't a prank call. She felt horrible and wanted to call the manager back. 9-11 "The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid" is a very funny book. It talks about a middle school guy that faces many awkward moments. His best friend and him always get bullied at school. Eventually, Greg gets very famous at school and forgets about his best friend because he wasn't popular at all. 9-12 The book "The islander" is about Daniel -a lonely boy who used to live with his old grandfather. There were a lot of magic things happened with him after he met the mermaid who is his grandfather's sister. She gave him a magic key to help him find the lost people and animals. I think she didn't want anybody to die like her many years before. But finally, Daniel had a new happy family with his dog, Mrs. Maxwell and Franny- the girl he found in the forest. I hope every kids in the world who are living without family like Daniel will have a happy life with new family soon. 9-13 I'm reading about Alexia; a girl that did not know about her dad during her whole 17 years of life. Her mother has never told Alexia anything about her dad. She says is for better and that she will when Alexia turns 18. Now that she is about to turn 18, she's really excited about meeting her dad that she has dreamed of her whole life. Alexia's dad does not have idea he had a daughter but he sees her in a magazine cover and he realizes they look alike.
