Okay, not really a scavenger hunt, but it sounded cool. You need to select your top 3 picks from September Scholastic Tab (remember ~ purchasing is optional). Tell us the title of the book and the item number. Give us a brief rationale (why you selected the ones you did) for each title. Try to comment on someone else’s post.

Found, item #30
Coal Black Horse, item # 16
Wednesday Wars, item #87
Obviously, Found is my first pick because it is the September book for Radical Readers, and I am beyond thrilled to be able to participate in an adolescent reading club with former, future, and current students as well as students I didn’t have the privilege of teaching. I think it is really cool that Mrs. Kreuser, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. Wash, along with some other teachers, parents, and community members are going to participate. My mom is really excited about it.
Coal Black Horse sounds intriguing because of the impending life or death situation. I am not really a history buff, but I love to read about history through historical fiction. It makes it more personal in my opinion.
Wednesday Wars includes 7th grade and Shakespeare, how could it be boring?

I made my first pick about a sport and I love books that are about sports and I love soccer so I really think I will enjoy this book!
Summer Ball sounds like a really good book and just by looking at the front picture of the book it is about basketball another sport that is my favorite and like I said I know that I wont get bored with any kind of book with sports involved in it!

Cheetah and I
This summer my pet cheetah and I went to the Appalachian Mountains. When we finally got there after a long and vigorous trip we sat down he was so tired from caring me all up the mountains so he said he was hungry and he needed a rest so we stopped at McDonalds he said he wanted three big Macs and two large dc. Peppers while I just got a chicken sandwich and dc. Pepper. He had a big apatite after we where finished eating we went home. When we got home I thought it would be nice to play some halo 3 I beat him twenty to fifteen! Then I felt sleepy so I went to bed a little earlier than usual. The next morning I awoke I felt so great after a good night sleep I and went to church then my cheetah and I went to the airport we bought tickets to go to Tokyo Japan to buy my mom a present and when we got there they praised us and gave us one hundred ninety five million dollars ! We asked why where they doing this they said that my cheetah was there new emperor so he was really happy about that we couldn’t believe it but after looking at the family tree it show that he was the air to the throne. When we went home we rode in a five star first class jet! When we where started playing halo 3 online again and he beat me fifty to four I said how did you get so good so fast and he’s a lieutenant that’s not fair. He said that he played all night and he learned from the people in Tokyo that’s cheating I yelled. When we got done we bought a trampoline company. We told them to make a trampoline water park and it was so awesome all my friends came but when my cheetah’s friends came all my friends left with fear. With the remaining money I gave ten thousand dollars to my aunt, grandma, mom, and dad. Then I gave fifty thousand to the church and I kept eighty thousand dollars for college and my kid’s college for when I get older. A couple weeks later my cheetah got married to another cheetah! I came and visited a lot my cheetah and I would always go catch cantaloupe and come back and eat with my cheetah that’s how it went for a couple years. I would come over help around and then a couple of years later the cheetahs had a cub and he was just so cute. We taught him how to hunt and fight and that is how my life and cheetahs went on. I guess it is a happy ending or is it!
The end
