I feel really bad about this situation, Mike Costello died. They didn't stop practice though, and parents thought that was unacceptable. I wonder what will happen next.

I wasn't surprised when Mike Costello got struck by lightning. As Paul said "Weird things happen in this town." I was surprised though when nobody said a word about it the next day. I wonder what will happen next.

This is a really interesting book. I feel bad for Paul. He even said "nobody really likes me, I don't have any friends either." He is trying though and that is all that counts. I hope since he has moved he will make new friends. Overall this is a really nice and relate able book, so if you see it you should read it.

Tangerine by Edward Bloor is a novel about the Fisherman family and their sons, Erik and Paul. His entire life he has been told that he has glasses because he looked into a full solar eclipse. He does not recall this happening. As he stated "I do not know why I have glasses, one year I didn't have them, then next year I had them." This confuses him because he never remembers getting them, they are just there.

I absolutely loved this book. I hope there is another one in the series so I can keep reading. I was totally disappointed with the end of this book though. Instead of telling you that he won, or that he didn't win it just gave a bunch of possible scenarios and told you to pick your own. I really wish it had just gave me THE scenario. OverAll it was a great book, and hope that someday it comes out with a sequel.

I love this book! Jamie is so worried about the finals that he is sweating! He describes himself to look like: "I look like a just took a shower, but it is just my own sweat." I have not gotten to the part where he actually performs in front of celebrity judges including Chris Rock, Ray Ramano, and Ellen Degeneres. I am not sure if he is going to win the contest but I hope he does well in it.0

This was a very interesting part of this book. Jamie starts it off by calling the worlds funniest kid company. This is what he said: "Hello planet's funniest kid comic contest? Yes this is Jamie Grimm. I'm sorry but I can't make it to the semifinals in Las Vegas. But then he posts his routine on YouTube. The contest saw it and told him he could come because they thought he was hilarious, and would spice things up.

I wonder what will happen next. First Jamie's Uncle has a heart attack in the car driving Jamie back from a restaurant Then Jamie can not make it to the USA funniest kid competition because his Uncle was supposed to drive him. I wonder what the rest of the book will be about considering the book was supposed to be about Jamie in the funniest kid competition. Jamie said he "was astonished that he would not get to go".

In the book it said Jamie wasn't doing well in school and was getting D's and C's. I was thinking about that and realized that they haven't said a word about how Jamie was doing in school for a month. Jamie told his Uncle "I was too focused on comedy" which is a bad excuse. He then got grounded for doing bad in school, which I think was an appropriate punishment for Jamie, because school maters more then anything.

I can't believe it! Jamie won the NorthEast United States funniest kid competition! The judges thought he did great although this is what Jamie said about his performance: "I did okay, although I didn't do great". He is now going on to the United States funniest kid competition. This competition will be held in Las Vegas. It is the semifinal to the worlds funniest kid competition. I think Jamie will do great.

I am so glad! Gaynor's case was closed and he is not going to get expelled after all! God answer Jamie's prayers and cured Gaynor's case, but sadly not his mom. Gaynor's Mom has Cancer and when the principal heard that he developed a "soft spot" for Gaynor or as he said "He helped me out a little bit." Sadly Gaynor's Mom has not been cured and has had Chemotherapy three times already and is starting to look hopeless

I really do like this book. As it says in the title, it is very funny! Jamie participate in competitions such as "Funniest Middle schooler ". Although he has a wheelchair he uses it to his advantage. He made a joke that he "rolled into town" or "I'm glad I can't feel my legs 'cause they're getting crushed by this movie- theatre popcorn! Overall this is a great book and it is very, very funny!

Shaft. Some were immeasurable, like the discovery of gravity. Overall many great discoveries were made using math.

Math helped make the age discovery become what it was for multiple reasons. The main reason was because it was used in many great discoveries. Some were huge, like the discovery of our solar system. Some were, like the discovery of the cross

I really like this book. It was talking about the days and Earth's rotation. It was talking about the information we had already learned in science though, although it was nice to be reassured about all the things we learned about in science. It also talked about how the ancient Mayans used the sun and the stars to determine what time it was. I find this all really cool because math is my favorite subject.

I love this book. It talks all about the ancient Mayans and how the discovered trigonometry. They used it for a lot of things such as measuring distance and telling time. They would look at their shadows to figure out what time it was or "See how far they needed to stand from a tree so when they cut it down it wouldn't fall on them. Overall I am really enjoying this book and reccomend it to other readers.

I love this book so far. It talks about how all of the cavemen had to "Guess about everything". For instance it said they had to guess about how old they were, the length of anything and the weight of anything. Then they started to create measuring systems, and used the stars and the sun to see the time, and even created scales to weigh objects. Overall I'm really enjoying this book, especially because I love math!
