This week I read The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids by Stanley Kiesel. This book is about a kid named Skinny starting a war between the kids and teachers of the country. The characters in this book aren't realistic. I mean come on, have you ever heard of kids creating a full scale war against teachers, there are two characters in particular that make this true.
They are Big Alice and Mr.Foreclosure. Big Alice is a girl who was raised by a wild pack of hyenas. She had spent so much time with them she started growing a tail. Mr. Foreclosure is a red ant who speaks many different languages including English. This little ant has gone through all of the school in a kids pocket.
The best book that I read this year was Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is about Katniss and Peta's second time in the hunger games. While in the training room Katniss and Peta both do things that could cause them to lose sponsors. What they did ended up getting them more sponsors then they could ever imagine. So far I have read probably around ,I don't know, sixty to seventy some books.
Heyy there, Baylee! hehe, I'm your first comment! :D Anyway, I agree with you saying that those characters aren't realistic. They seem pretty interresting, though. I also loved Catching Fire, but loved Mockingjay so much more. Did you read it? I'm guessing you did... who hasn't?? It made me cry three diffenent times, but that's what makes a book good, in my opinion. Just to let you know: my sister made me lemonade, and I am sipping it right now. She even chilled it with a cube of ice!!! Yeah, I know I'm a freak. ;)

Nice blog Baylee. I agree a lot with you that they are not realistic just from what you have stated in your blog because I have not read the book. Also I am reading the first book of the Hunger Games now and I plan on reading Catching Fire next.
