Our first guest bloggers of the summer!

While Fly Guy was busy vacationing at Hampton Beach, some of you have been busy reading and blogging!
Ava Anderson can't stop worrying. She worries all the time, she even worries that she can't stop worrying! When Ava gets her hands on a pencil that can answer your thoughts she makes the pencil answer all the questions she wants. It seems great at first but soon Ava realizes that some questions remain better unanswered. I recommend this book to people who like books where something magical happens and the characters become better people because of it.

The book The Wide Window is the third book in the Series of Unfortunate Events.  I loved this book because it is exciting and mysterious. The series is about three kids whose parents perished in a fire. Each book is about them living with a different relative because something had happened to the relative that they had in the last book, but in every book the first relative, named Count Olaf keeps appearing in every book with a disguise so that the children wouldn't recognize him, but of course they always recognize him. In this book Count Olaf is disguising himself as a sailboat seller named Captain Sham. In the book Captain Sham forces the children's guardian, Josephine, to give the children to him. Josephine is scared of everything so she writes a note to the children saying that she went to Curdled Cave, so the children steal a sailboat and sails across the lake in a hurricane. Will they make it across? Oh yes I forgot to tell you about the Lachrymose Leaches who will eat you alive!
