All Right! Our First Two Comments!

Hey Guys! This is Carl again. We have our first two comments! The first one is from Obi-wan Andrew and the second is from Jace. Good work, guys! Come to the library in Imaginon and claim your free books.
I'm sorry that it's taken so long to get these comments up, but I've been trying to figure out how to put them out for everyone to see. It took me a while and I finally had to go to our technowizards for help, but now I know what to do. Here we go:

Obi-wan-Andrew said...
My Weird School: Miss Daisy is CrazyThe point of the story is there is a math teacher that doesn't know anything about math. She stays at home and eats homemade chocolate balls. The kids have to teach her math so she can keep her job. It's a funny story, and it comes in a series about other strange people who work at the school.

Horse and His Boy by CS Lewis. There was a boy who was talking to a horse, and all of a sudden the horse started talking back. Both were from Narnia, and they decided they wanted to go to Narnia. On their way there they met a girl with another talking horse. After a few narrow escapes, they got to Narnia. The book was exciting and had a happy ending.

So how about it, guys? Has anyone read the My Weird School books? Or The Horse and His Boy? What did you think? Do you have any other favorites? Let us know!

Anonymous said...: There have been a lot of books that I really like. One series is Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. Others are Artemis Fowl, Gregor the Overlander, Charlie Bone, Harry Potter (of course..I think the 4th book is the best, ever), Inkspell, Deltora Quest, Redwall, and Eragon.

I really love to read. It lets me get away from the real world.

Post a Comment

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
