Dear Readers,
I can’t believe that summer is already here! It just seems like the time has gone so fast. I can remember something that happened in 2006 like it was yesterday! And I can remember something that happened yesterday like it happened a few seconds ago! Well, I have a good report on SAIL, by James Patterson. It released on June 9, 2008. The book was about the Dunne family going on vacation, but it soon turns into a vacation trip from hell. Eighteen-year-old Carrie Dunne tries to drown herself and the other kids in the family are calling the boat trip punishment. But then, a storm takes the boat off course, but the boat manages to stay afloat and not sink. Then, the boat explodes. Finally, the family makes it to a deserted island, where Katherine Dunne, the mother and the person telling most of the story, alomost gets killed by their first dinner on the island: a huge snake! But then Katherine’s second husband, Peter Dunne, plans to kill his family and act worried about them after he returns from what he calls “a search for his lost family.”
Then at the end of the story Katherine and Peter are in court, and Peter wins the case, and inherits $16,000,000. Then the book ends with Katherine saying, “What do you want to do next summer? Anyone up for a sail?”
So that book was really good and I enjoyed it. I just finished reading all 386 pages of it this morning. Then I read a 236 page, medium-sized print, book called “King Arthur and the Knights of the Round tably” by Howard Pyle. I finished reading that in 1 hour. Those books I put down on a list. I’m trying to keep a county of how many pages I can read over the summer. So far, and I started reading and counting yesterday, the count is 624 pages. My goal is to read 4,000 pages over the summer. Last summer I read just a little over 3,000 pages.
Well, I need to end my report for Summer 2008 now and check out some new news about Mars on www.yahoo.com. See you sometime soon!
