Greg was lost. Litteraly. Comepletely.He was an American. He was climbing the K2 with his family and didn't notice that they went back home. He didin't know what to do. Until a small village spotted him and took care of him until he could recover....
The village did not have a school. they had to write with sticks.However, they served a cup of tea to Greg. The villagers were also nice to him. So, when Greg was ready to go back home, he promised the village Cheif that he would come back-That he would a school for them.
When Greg was old enough to go back to the village, he was still determined to build a school for them. He asked many people for help for getting the supplies and money to build a school in that place (Patkistan). A friend offered to write a book about Greg's care and that he needed help. A man named Jean called Greg after reading about the book. He gave enough money to build a school. The next thing Greg knew was that he was heading on his way to the village. However, when he arrived, the Cheif said that they needed a bridge more than a school. Greg had no choice but to build the bridge first. When the bridge was completed, Greg ran out of money to build a school. He called a friend who knew about Jean and told him about everything of what had happened. The friend said that Greg should tell Jean of what the friend had exactly heard. At first, Greg was scared to tell Jean because he had already had got a plentyful of money. However, when Greg started calling Jean, Jean was happy to give more money to the village. However, he wnated to see a picture of the school of when it was completed. Greg was on his way to the village again. When he arrived, he noticed that another villge in Patkistan expected to build a school at their village. Greg refused but there was a fight going on. Later when the fight was setteled,Greg started building the school. Meanwhile, Jean had cancer and he became impatient to see the school he had paid. Greg promised that he would show Jean the picture as soon as possible. When the school was finished, Greg quickly went to the U.S, where Jean was and showed him the picture. Jean only had a few weeks until he could live on the earth. Greg became Jean's nurse for a while until Jean died. At the last minute when he was about to, he gave Greg a hundred dollars and told him to finish to journey.
Greg started building schools. Meanwhile a terriest called Osama bin Ladin shot a bomb in the U.S. Greg still helped Afganistan (Osama was from Afganistan). He had recieved mafny emails calling him a traitor but Greg never gave up.One day these men came to him and asked him if he could build a school near their village.Greg said that he would build a school as soon as possible. He also brought on of his friends who was a reporter with him to Patkistan because his friend wanted to write a stroy about that place. When Greg held a meeting a girl came and said that he had to keep his promise. Greg later realized that a longt time ago, he had promised that he would help her make her dream come true.Her dream was to become a nurse. Greg was happy that she was brave and that she stood up for herself. Later Money was filled in the girl's pink bag. The reporter was very shooked he wrote about this story. The girl was the first girl to have a job at her village.
Months later, Greg kept the mens' promise about building a school near village. Some people think that he represent the United States of America today.

One of her friends are called Hecter. He lives with his sister and his parents.One day, his sister asked him if they can go to this university.I think the place was close because I read that the university was doing this festival. When they arrived, Hecter heard someone playing the guitar and suddenly got interested to it.He takes free lessons inthe basment of a church and has a crush into this girl named Meadow. However sadly it seems like Meadow like another guy named Dan who is a guy good at football. It also seems like Debbie likes him too.Lenny is also one of Debbie's friend. He is very smart. It all began when he started reading the encycolopedia and really enjoyed it. Later, he got into other books and learned many things. His parents figured out that he was very talented when Lenny could fix a vacum cleaner that was broken. All of these people have many charateristics with different talents. I have only read half of the book but I think that something will change their relationships.

In the end, it comes to a resu;t thst everyone is happy of what the have. Criss Cross is a great book!!!!!

The Girl
Once upon a time, there was a married couple, Mr. Graves and Mrs. Graves who were very poor with no children. One hot summer day, they found a baby laid under a tree in a basket with a little note. They read the note together: Whoever finds this baby, please return it to me after 20 years, this day at this tree . Before the 20 years, please do not tell this baby that you are not her real parents. However, please name her Rose, for it could be easier to find my baby.
Thankyou
Mr. and Mrs. Graves stared at each other, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, they smiled and noded that taking the baby was the right thing to do.
Years after when Rose Graves was 12 and she was very pretty. She was clever and the first kid to raise her hand at school when a teacher asked her a question too! She had lots of friends, the cafeteiea food was great. One preticular night, when Rose was on her bed lying, she heard a voice: 8 more years left until I see you, my dear Rose. You may not see me but I can see you.....
Rose froze, stood up and walked to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Graves,and told them exactly what the voice said. After she finished, Mr. Graves said maybe she was too tired that she heard untrue things. Mrs.Graves walked into Rose's bed with Rose, and patted her until she was asleep.
Finally when the day had come to tell the truth to Rose, Mr. Graves told Rose that she was found in a basket this day, and showed her the note that her parents left in the basket. The three Graves stood up and got out of the door to head to the tree were they had found Rose.
They waited until something bright appered in there eyes. Seconds later, there was a bright angel. Rose ammediately hugged her because she knew somehow that it was her mother. The angelthanked the Graves' appered into the sky with Rose.
When the Graves came back home Mrs. Graves stomach started to hurt! They went to the hospital and figured out that she was pregnet!
It was a girl and when the girl was born, they named her Rose Jr. Graves and the three Graves lived happily ever after.
The End
Mr. Klutz is Nuts
I have a new book to introduce. Mr. Klutz wanted to encourage the whole school to read, write and spell. So on announcement day, he said they will have a ymmy chocolate party if the whole school does one million math problems, he will kiss a pig on the lips. It was so weird when he did it in the chocolate party. On the next announcement day, he said if students write an essay for themselves about "election day", he will climb up a flagpole and will do the pledge of the allegience. Then the whole school started writing essays and he did it. Mr. Klutz said weird things on announcement day. If the whole school write of one
hundred thousand words by Thanksgiving, he will wear a turkey costume and ride a pogo stick down the main street. If reading one million minutes with parents before winter vacation, then he will dress up like Santa Claus and jump off the roof with a bungee jump. Then some school kids called. AJ, Andrea, Ryan, Emily and Michel go to Mr. Klutz's office and said if they read 100 million minutes with the parents, they don't want him to do want he announced today. On announcement day, he said he will take them to a pool if the whole school reads 100 million minutes with the parents. And they did. So they go to go to the pool

Tale of Desperaux
The First Book
It is about Desperaux being born. Unbelievable things happened to him. For example, he fell in love with a human princess named Pea. There was an important rule that every mouse has to obey in their community. That was not to talk to humans and not be close to the humans' feet. But when Desperaux's brother Furlough saw him broke the law in the mice community, Desperaux had to go to the freaky dungeon. While he was in dungeon, Desperaux met a man named Gregory. Gregory wanted to hear a fairy tale story. He said he would help Desperaux out of the dungeon if Desperaux tells him a story. When Desperaux did it, he was saved. That's how the first book ends.
The Second Book
It was about Roscuro. It was way before Despereaux was born. I didn't tell you that the Princess Pea's mother had died, because of Roscuro. This is what happened. Roscuro first thought the light was beautiful. So he went upstairs out of the Dungeon. In the Palace, he saw yummy soup, so he went beside the soup. Meanwhile, in the palace, they were having a party. The queen loved the soup, but the sharp eye Princess Pea saw Roscuro. She said to her mom(the queen) that there's a rat beside her soup. The queen fainted and that's how she died. Roscuro had just realized that the word "rat" stinks, because Princess Pea had said the word, "rat". Roscuro had a plan to hurt Pea's feelings That's the ending of the second book.
The Thrid Book
It was about a poor girl named Miggery Sow. Her mother had died because of illness(disease). Her dad sold her with a red table cloth, a hen and a cigarette. Migg was a servant to the other man. If she didn't listen, she would get a clout ot the ear (pull her hear). But while in the castle, the King outlawed spams and soup. And when the soldier came to the man's house, he thought Migg was a poor girl. So he tried to take her to the castle. Oh! In the middle of the story, Mig wanted to become a princess. But when Mig went downstairs to serve the man in the dungeon, hshe met Roscuro. And Roscuro said he had a plan to make Mig into a princess.
The Fourth Book
It was after Desperaux telling... While Mig was hearing Roscuro's plan in the dungeon, Mig said, "let's do the plan". She really wanted to become a princess. Their plan was to take the princess to the dungeon and make her take off her crown and her beautiful clothes. And they wanted to give it to Mig. But Roscuro's real plan was to put chains to the princess and never let Pea go. But when they too Pea to the dungeon that night, Desperaux was one his way to find the princess. While in the dungeon, Roscuro said Pea will be on chains and Mig never become a princess. Roscuro will be in charge of Pea. But it was too late when Desperaux arrived. He first thought, it was weird. But when he had notice the awful things he had done he made. Desperaux kill him. But Pea wanted to give Roscuro one more chance. So she did. Mig got to meet her dad. Desperaux was friends with Pea.
