This month I read goosebumps night of the living dummy 3 by R.L. Stine.

The plot of this book is about two siblings when their dad finds an old thrown out ventriloquist dummy. At this point they are informed that their cousin is coming over and over the course of the first half they find out that their cousin is pranking them. But later in the book, the dummies start moving on their own and the siblings get scared but still think that it is their cousin.

I like the book because it is spooky and mysterious, and slowly builds up to the action. My favorite character from the book was Slappy because he is evil, there are many places in the book that prove this, but a prime example would be when one of the characters says He’s a monster! He’s evil! We have to get rid of him!” (101).

If I were to invite any three people to have dinner with me I would have chose Dwayne „the Rock“ Johnson, Michael Jackson, and Guy Fieri. This is because Dwayne Johnson is very famous, being in several movies and also a wrestler. My second person is Michael Jackson, this would be because he is the king of pop and having dinner with him would be extraordinary. My final choice, Guy Fieri is because he has also been on many shows and even made his own shows and cookbooks

I am invisible! This has happened due to prolonged exposure to radiation. The main downside is that I cannot see. This is because eyes need light to see it needs to be focused by the cornea and lens to be turned into electrical signals by the retina, and being invisible causes light to pass through me. The only thing that might be good about this is that I could sleep all day. Being invisible sucks. Luckily, my doctor said that it would only last for today.

If I could have any job in the world, I would probably choose to be an engineer. I would choose this job because it is very innovative. Another reason would be because there are ways to create new sources of renewable energy. My final reason is because I think of myself as a creative person and that I can express that in things that I create. And depending on the type of engineer I can get a salary of about 64k-300k

It’s another day in paradise on my abandoned island… Or is it? Life on an island isn’t all paradise. It gets dark, and scary at times, not to mention that it gets very cold at night. Every day I have to go spearfishing in order to not starve. I also have to go into a Spruce forest I have found to get firewood to cook the fish and not freeze during night. I am currently working on building a hut to keep warm, but I can’t figure out how to insulate the inside. I have made tools to help me survive like an ax and a spear. I do not know how I got here, all i remember is waking up near the shore and having only the things in my pockets to help me. The island is desolate, I have seen no signs of people, no ships, no planes, nothing.

“We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy,” is my favorite quote from Dumbledore. This is because Dumbledore is saying that the easiest choice is not always the right one. And that in taking the path less traveled will show you the way which is Right.

This month I read the second half of Minecraft The Island by Max Brooks. The second half of the book was about the main character building shelter and trying to figure out what brought him into the world of Minecraft. I like the book because it has mystery to why he is there, action when he fights any monsters, and is in my opinion a good book. My favorite character in the book is the unnamed main character because he shows intelligence. A quote that proves this is “Knowledge, like a seed, needs the right time to bloom,” This proves that he is intelligent because he is saying that getting knowledge takes time. My favorite quote from the book is “It’s not failure that matters, but how you recover,” this is my favorite quote because it shows that everyone make mistakes but some recover from them.

Someone that I greatly admire is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. My first reason is because he is fifty-two and is still an actor and wrestler. Another reason is because he is well known and in many popular movies. My final reason is that he was important to the development and success of WWE.

This month I read Minecraft the Island by Max Brooks, I have not yet finished this book, I am currently on page 130. The book is about a man who was transported into the world of Minecraft without any memory of where he came from. In this world, things don’t always make sense, but courage and creativity go a long way. I like this book because it is an isekai about Minecraft, one of my favorite games. My favorite character is the unnamed main character because he is calm, a quote that proves this is “Panic drowns out thought” this shows he is calm because he is able to stop himself from panicking even in the most stressful situations. My favorite quote from the book is “take life in steps” I like this quote because its better to go slow than to speed through everything

This month I read Hooky Volume 2 by Míriam Bonastre Tur. In this book Dani and Dorian attempt to find the missing prince who was kidnapped by their parents and the other bad witches. The twins had teamed up with princess Monica after their older brother Damien had become king of witches. I like the book because it has action and betrayal and it is a continuation of the first book so I can finish the story. My favorite character is Damien Wytte, I like him because he is mature and caring, because after he got prince William (nicknamed Will) out of danger, he thinks “I should feel relieved. I got what I wanted. Will is safe. Soon we’ll be home,” this shows that he is caring because he wanted his friend out of harm’s way. My favorite quote from the book was “Having someone accept me was extremely gratifying, even though he didn’t know who I really was. In truth, it was surprisingly easy. We became friends,” I like this quote because it shows that no matter who you are or what you are like, someone will get along with you
