How Books Are Made (The book)

Horrible Histories, the series
Have you ever thought history books where boring? Well actually it's fun stuff, because there are Horrible Histories!! These books are based on a civilization or a period known to the world because something big happened. These books make the boring facts into very very interesting facts. If you ever come upon a Horrible Histories book then I reckon you that you will find it fun. One very interesting Horrible Histories book is 'The Blitzed Brits'. This book gives you facts about how the Brits lived like in the Second World War. For example: what they ate, rationing, gas masks and lots more! One very cool fact is that the government persuaded children to wear gas masks by making 'fun masks'. One example was the Mickey Mouse mask. One thing that the kids found out was the if you wore the mask and blew very hard, the air rushed out of the side and made a very rude noise!
This is the Mickey Mouse mask

Gilbert the Pig Has an Adventure
I read a book called Gilbert the Pig goes on an Adventure by Michele Dufrense. This is a book about a pig that has an adventure. It is an adventure book. In this book Gilbert the pig goes on the street to look for many different things. He meets a dog and a duck, they scared Gilbert off. Then he comes to a playground he sees children playing. He was playing ball with them. In the end he came back for his dinner. Maybe he will go on another adventure.
The special thing about this book is that this series continues but different authors are writing this book. I think this one is better because he is awesome.
Bad Girls
Bad Girls is a wonderful book by Jacqueline Wilson. This book is about three girls who had always trouble a girl called Mandy. The girls always annoyed her,pinched her and bit her. The name of those three girls are: Melanie, Lena and Clary. The three girls always use to trouble Mandy that she cries. Anytime the three girls see Mandy in school they trouble her. The next day the three girls see Mandy in school, can you guess what happened?. You will love this book!.

Alex Rider series
Name: Alex Rider, age: 14, City of residence: London, school: Brookland Comprehensive.
Alex Rider, My favorite series of this year. The best parts of this series are, the adventure ( of course ), lots and lots of gizmo gadgets, enemies and last but not least.... ALEX RIDER!!!!
Alex has no parents, his uncle mysteriously dies in car crash. That starts a weird life after his uncle dies, getting to know that his uncle is a spy and he didn’t die in a car crash but he died in a shooting incident. THEN he finds out that he will become a spy. going through eight very very hard missions in one year is too much for a normal school kid to do. Alex is very special to MI6 cause he is young and enemies will always think that he is innocent.
Alex Rider Stormbreaker
They said he died in a car crash but Alex didn’t believe them. Alex knew his uncle didn’t die in a car crash but Alex didn’t believe them. Alex knew his uncle didn’t die without his seat belt.Alex looks for some clues but doesn't find any.
One day Alex was going to school he saw his uncle’s car!!! He ran to it and he examined the car. In the front glass they were a few bullet marks. Right then Alex knew that his uncle Ian Rider didn’t die in a car crash and didn’t die without his seat belt.
In this book their is a weird man can you guess who!!! I’ll give you a hint his name starts with Y he is a brutal killer!!! And he’s after the MI6 {a spy company}. And Alex finds him self in a cat and mouse game with no way out.

I am wondering that how did the author Lincoln Pierce got this idea and I think that maybe this is real story of his life!! That’s cool. The best thing about this book is that this book is using easier English!!! Isn’t that awesome? It is the best thing for the children who doesn't know English properly. So even I can understand more details that author tries tell me.
Nate is drawing many cartoons more and more. He normally draws comics about his teacher or the annoying friends. Sometimes it is not really fun but sometimes it gives me a big laugh. That’s the problem that I can’t be quite when I am laughing.
Mrs. Yonkers Is Bonkers!
The title of the book is called “Mrs. Yonkers is Bonkers!”
Mrs. Yonkers is a computer teacher, and she is the dumbest teacher in the book. She can type with her toes. She even puts a web-cam on her turtle. She invents funny stuff like: remote control remote control, that is a remote control that can bring your remote control to you when you are in your bed or somewhere else in the house.
Read this book to find out if Mrs. Yonkers creates new stuff.
