A Series of Unfortunate Events
Thirteen books are planned for Lemony Snicket's darkly hilarious collection, A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. It makes perfect sense that the series starts at the beginning with --- THE BAD BEGINNING, Book the First. It's in this title that we learn how children Violet, Klaus, and baby Sunny Baudelaire become orphans. And from that moment on, we're on a roller coaster ride as the Baudelaires face danger, adventure, and doom at every turn. Of course, along with all the gloominess come some pretty good laughs.

Explore our feature and find out more about these unusual books. Meet the mysterious author, Lemony Snicket in our video interview! You won't want to miss this unique and very funny reading experience!

Poems from fellow Bookworms

A poem for the poem section on September 11th. We must not forget those who died for their country in the attacks on the WTC. This poem is my thoughts & feelings on September 11th, 2001. 9/11.

Remember When

Remember when
The towers came down?
That horrible day.
All of America cried for their loved ones,
Lost for their country.
Everyone a hero.
They stood tall 28 years,
A symbol of American pride,
Why must they crash to the ground?
Americans everywhere mourn.
For their towers that stood in NYC so long.
Two planes came in,
Making our towers come down.
The people on the plane did not know,
They would die soon.
Their families cry,
All America cries with them.
Remember when
The towers came down?

Happy Thoughts
Joe sat by himself. All his. All  his friends had.gone away today, vacation seemed too long. there was not one thing to do. he wanted to play with someone. he did not feel like reading to himself. he was sad and bored.''day says to think about happy things. but what can make me happy now?'' then he began to began to things that could make him happy... finding the missing mitten. chocolate cupcakes.fishing from a boat. honey on hot bread. a good mark on my homework. watching the parade. a little dog that barks. camping in a tent. jumping into the hay. getting a hit.

******IF YOU READ ANY BOOK, READ THE SILVER CROWN*******

You should read The Silver crown. It may sond princessy, but it really and truly isn't.  I you liked Redwall of Artemis Fowl or The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, You'll really like this.  Also some other good books are:
The Giver
From the Mixed up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
The Egypt Game
Judy Blume or Beverley Cleary
Anyway, The Silver Crown is a really good book, and if you are a very fast reader, like me, you'll like this book.  It is over 300 pages long, and you will get really into it!!!!

avi is so cool and i would love to meat her. she really put some imagination into my head when i read "perloo the bold" and "the true confessions of charlotte doyle". my teacher read that and i was awe struck of how creative and adventurous she was. i'm a pretty good writer myself and would love to write something one day. my favorite kind of books are animal and i made a 5 page story on a wolf. i know that that isn't very far but i guess you could say it was kind of good for an 11 year old.

*****

The Left Behind series is about four kids that don't belive in Jesus Christ. Then they get left behind,abd they acsept Jesus.Whoever has been (not wanting to argue)sending in all these things to the newsletter about it beeing action-packed is write and wrong. All these stories are true, and it might happen to you guys also if you don't ascept Jesus into your heart. Please excuse me for being argumentive, but I have a right. It is a free cuontry you know.

*****

To you people who say the ninth book is not out with the series of unfortunate events-
It is out.I saw it in a store

*****

Charlotte's  Web  is  my  most  favorite  book! I've read  it  4 times  and  I  cried  all four  times!!!!!!!  (boo-hoo,boo-hoo)!!!!!!!!!!!!

*****

Books can make you feel good or sad. You use a lot of different books in school like a math book or a social studies or science, so thats why you should read book and to make you smart.

*****

Judy Blume is one of my favorite authors and my first book i have read by her is Are You There God Its Me Margaret. Its a wonderful book for girls that are going through puberty . I recomended to my best friend and she loved it ! I think all girls should read this book because its a book that is very good that no one should go with  out reading it . Only girls though really.
