The Brilliant World of Tom Gates

During the holidays, I read a whole book by myself and it was 239 pages long!  It was a story about Tom Gates. It was awesome and so funny. Tom is a kid with a very grumpy and mean sister.  He makes excuses for not doing his homework, except for one night. He was in a rush that night because he went to the Dude 3 concert where he saw his teacher. Tom realised that his teacher was not always in mean mode. Tom also had an annoying kid in his class named Marcus Meldrew who Tom thinks is an idiot.  

My favourite character is Tom Gates and my favourite part was when everyone was laughing at Marcus. They were laughing at him because at the end of Marcus' story there was something that Tom wrote in Marcus' book. It was "I am an idiot". It wasn't very kind, but it sure was funny!

This is the longest book I have read by myself, and I am excited to read another long chapter book soon!

School Holiday Reading

The Notebook of Doom: Rise of the Balloon Goons

By: Troy Cummings

Over the holidays I read the chapter book called Rise of the Balloon Goon by Troy Cummings.

It is about a boy named Alexander and he had a friend named Rip.

On Alexander’s first day of school he was late because he found the

structure and it had a hole in the wall. Alexander went

in and he found a book The book was called SSMP of Doom and Alexander read the scary

monster book. Alexander and his dad went to breakfast one day and he saw a balloon goon

and it ate the air from Alexander’s dad’s car wheels for breakfast. He found out later that there

were heaps of balloon goons and they combined to make a giant goon snake. The snake

wanted to destroy the kids and it tied Rip up.  Later on Alexander got the snake and tied it into

a knot by making the snake go left, right, up, down, turn around! It became a giant knot, but then

the goon’s fortress turned into a dragon. Alexander’s dad came back to the kids and he popped

the dragon’s tail with a pin from the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Alexander read the rest of

the book and on a blank page he wrote all about the balloon goons. He even said to carry a

pin if you think a balloon goon is nearby. They really get the point!

I really liked reading this book because I read it all by myself. It was the first big chapter book

I have ever read. I liked when Alexander found the clown underneath the table because Rip

posed and showed his muscles. Then, Alexander rolled his eyes. It was so funny!
