Recital

I went to a recital yesterday.  Avery was the first song of the recital.  I had a fun time there.  I also got a metal for doing my book one book party. I slept with my metal.  When I woke up in the morning I thought I had lost it but it was under my blanket.  I am holding it right now.  It turns around.  I played a song I made up.  I called it The Pine Tree.  I played a song called Short Story with a violin and a cello.

The Secret Garden

One of the other books I've read is called The Secret Garden.  It is about a girl who finds out about a secret garden in her uncle's backyard.  She finds a key buried under a tree and then she finds a door in a wall covered with vines.  A robin she met led her to the key and the door. She goes in and finds a beautiful garden.  My favorite part is when she finds the garden. 

Swiss Family Robinson

I am reading a book called The Swiss Family Robinson. The part I'm at they found this cave in this rock. and they made candles out of a plant. I love it.  It's a very good book.  I thought it was cool that they lived in a tree house. They built a staircase inside of a hollow tree up to their tree house.

Favorite Chapter Book of the Year

My favorite characters in this book are Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.  I think they are funny.  A part that I think is funny is when the boys are going to dig for hidden treasure in what they think is a haunted house. 

"The next day the boys were heading toward the woods when they remembered it way Friday.  It was bad luck to be fooling around with ghosts on a Friday, so they decided to play Robin Hood for the rest of the day."

I think this is a funny thing to believe. 

At the end, Tom is trying to convince Huck to come back and live with the Widow Douglas.  He promises Huck that he can be in Tom's robber gang if he comes back.  Huck says:

"Now that's the life!  Why, it's a million times better than pirating.  I'll stick to the widow till I rot, Tom, and if I git to be a re'lar ribber of a robber, and everybody's talking 'bout it, I reckon she'll be mighty proud of me."
