The seven wheels of power

Three weeks ago Max got a letter in the mailbox that said that out of 900 kids he was one of the best karate kids in the town. There were only 4 kids to be chosen at the Black Belt Club. He knew why the other kids where in the club. They were very skilful and were smart. He thought he was clumsy. He ran down the stairs to show the letter to his uncle. Instead his uncle laughed and told him that he was wasting money of his uncle. His uncle told him to give it back to Sensei the Black Bear Club owner to send it to the right max. Instead Sensei told him that he was good enough. It was obvious that the other kids were in the club. Antonio never gives up or complains. He can learn a new move in a week! Maia is extremely smart because if Sensei teaches her a move, she can remember it and do it perfectly the second time! But she needs a few lessons of respect. Jamie can understand the dojo way of thinking the best of everyone. After ten minutes of stretching, it was time to do karate. He was starting to sweat when they heard a noise. All the kids went to the carpet. Sensei took out a box inside the cupboard. Inside were crystals. They held them up and the sunlight made a rainbow on the crystal. The box of the 4 doors begins to spin. A man came out. The man told them that the tree of life was in the middle of the forest. The man said that the evil force wants the tree of life to die. The evil force called Master Mundi had come out of the underworld and took off 6 wheels of power. The wheels must me returned by the longest night of the year. They had only 3 days left. Maia chose the crane power. Antonio chose the bull power. Jamie chose the eagle power, and Max chose the bear power. They were practicing their karate moves when they vanished. And they landed in the forest. Before the grand temple there was a statue. Suddenly the statue moved. Antonio was grabbed by the statue. After some fighting the sage came and the statue went back to its normal place and they went up the stairs with the sage. Just then inside the building, they heard a rumbling noise. A tiger leaped through the window and a man with a dark cloak was in the room. He was the one that took the wheels off. Antonio was trying to distract Master Mundi. Suddenly, Maia jumped at him with a side kick. He raised his hand in defense and created some kind of force field that stopped her in midair. Then he raised his hand and sent her flying backwards and the bad guys were gone. The sage gave them food, water, sandals, and some camping gear. He gave them some rope, blankets, and two matches. Suddenly, the tiger leaped right in front of them. Max did a spinning back kick and the tiger fell down. Some creepy vines tangled them up. After Master Mundi was gone the sage’s mouse chewed on the vines and set them freed. Death was everywhere. There were dead plants. Billions of ants came toward them. They jumped off the trail. The ants missed them. They followed the trail and they found the tree of life. The ants came to them. They were trying to remove them. Suddenly, rain came pouring down. They ran for the trees. The water separated them from the tree of life. They climbed from branch to branch to get back to the tree of life. Then Master Mundi decided to make it fun. They played a game. In order to win the game they had to find the 6 wheels of power (The top wheel, he didn’t steal) in the right order. They started fighting. They pushed and shoved each other. Max managed to reverse punch Maia in the stomach. They stopped fighting. Dark energy was affecting them again. They stood on tiptoes to try to get the crystals activating. The silver leaf on the tree of life made the sunlight reflect on it to reflect the sunlight on their crystals. It worked! He was using bear power. He went into the cave because he knew his wheel was in there. The other bear in the cave saw the wheel and he gave it to Max. He went outside the cave and saw all of the forest. His friends were in trouble. He told them to use their karate. It worked! They were free. Master Mundi jumped right in front of them again. They were close to the tree of life. For a second, they threw all their wheels on the tree of life. Within seconds the forest was perfect. Master Mundi went back to the underworld.

The scientist called Mr. Gere. We were first group. We did spelling. It was recces. it was gym. We played dogebal and duck duck goose. Then the scientist stayed over at lunch. He left.

 Today, a scientist called Mr. Gere (Gear) went to my classroom. We were the first group so we headed off to Ms. L's class. We all call her Ms L. I will tell in case you were wondering why we would call her Ms. L. We call her that because her name is long. We did spelling lesson 18. After that we took a break. We watched Bill Nye the science guy. After it was recces. I took out 2 balls to juggle. Lots of people watched. After recces, we went to the gym. We played Doge ball. We were winning. We didn't finish but we won anyways. I hit the other last second guy and he was out. Some of the students noticed the way how I threw the volleyball to make it curve. Nobody could make the ball curve except me. I was happy. We played 5 rounds of Duck Duck Goose. It was fun. After we headed of to our original classroom. Then, It was lunch. For lunch recces my partner and I worked on our castles. After the scientist made us do experiments. We used two bricks for the load. We would use some hooks and some string. Sometimes we would pull the string up or down. I think pulling down is easier because we are pulling down on the gravity. We would use the spring scale to measure the load. At 3:24 he left.

Nothing

Today I kicked dirty snow. I learned that you shouldn't do it because it is bad. There are five reasons you shouldn't kick it.

1. The car owner might call the police.
2. The snow might turn to ice and if you kick it off some parts of the car might be broken.
3. People might punish you if you kick their car.
4. They might think you are trying to destroy their car.
5. You might make the alarm ring and the driver is going to think that you are trying to steal his car.

On Wednesday I lost my water bottle. the next day when I walked to school, I spotted something blue. It was my water bottle. It was covered with frost. Inside of the bottle was ice. My dad put the water bottle at the sink so the ice would melt. At home time the ice was not completely melted. I splashed the ice in hot water and the 2 left over pieces of ice disappeared.

On Tuesday, I lost my glove for about 3 days. When I was walking home on Friday, Aeon asked if the blue glove was mine. It was. So the glove was inside his car.

The Fire Mystery

The Alden children found a heavy hat in the attic inside the house. They found grandfather sitting in his favourite chair sipping coffee and reading the newspaper. Grandfather told them that he worked at the fire house long time ago. Then, grandfather asked them if they would like to go to the firehouse where he worked. They asked grandfather why he had a fireman’s hat. The firehouse is about to be teared down because there were more people in town now and they couldn’t afford to have 2 fire stations. They were trying to save the firehouse. A bell suddenly, rang! The fire fighters put on their gear and they jumped on board. It was just few minutes when they came back. It was a false alarm. Mike and another woman came back. Mike told the children that he was afraid that the firehouse was going to be teared down. Ms. Lerner the woman had already hired a architect to draw plans of building a new firehouse. The next morning, they rode back to the firehouse. They had moved all the trucks out so they could paint the walls of the garage. They laid out newspapers on the ground so the ground wouldn’t have paint on it. They put masking tape around the light switches and doorknobs so they wouldn’t get paint all over. They started painting. At noon time, the Aldens were almost finished painting one side of the garage. There was a false alarm last night. When Henry returned the walls were almost done. Ms. Lerner wants to tear the building so they have to work twice as hard. With the help with few fire fighters the garage was fully with paint. Then, they painted the sign outside the building. Violet decided to repaint the old window boxes. They decide to have some evergreens. They continued to paint the next day. When Benny was about to put the lids on, the alarm rang! The fire fighters jumped into their trucks and drove off. When they got their, they noticed that there wasn’t any fire. Christine and a few fire fighters went into the house full of smoke and began fanning it. The next morning mike looked unhappy. He was unhappy because there was a puddle of white paint. Benny had put the lid on and they were wondering why the cans were knocked over. They discover that the evergreens have been smashed and Sparky’s blanket was missing. The bottom shelf’s trophies were missing. One day near Mr. Frerderick, Sparky began barking. They looked inside Mr. Frederick’s car and they found Spark’s blanket and the missing trophies. The police tied him up.




I like this book because this is a mystery and the story is going too wrong when they are trying to save the firehouse. I like the style the author used. In the part, the garage was spilled with paint, I would me mad at whoever did it. Then I would try to clean it up. Like the Alden’s, I never give up. If I bought new trees and someone stepped on them, I would buy new trees again. I would recommend this book to Breenadan because he reads A to Z mysteries too.

The Mouse Island Marathon

Geronimo Stilton went to the bus station. He missed the bus. He ran after it. It was no use. When he got to the office, he was tired. When he went in, Geronimo’s sister Thea asked him, “When did you become a sportsmouse Trap went in. Trap was Geronimo’s cousin. He asked Geronimo why a wimpy rodent like him could be a sportsmouse. Benjamin was Geronimo’s nephew. He asked him why he was doing in the office. He should outside in the park running. Geronimo hurried into his office. He asked them why they were saying that. He thought his whole family had gone crazy. Before they could answer, Champ burst into his office. He told Geronimo that he had signed up Geronimo for the marathon. He couldn’t believe it! Geronimo who is not a sportsmouse was going to run in a marathon! The whole entire staff lifted him up and carried him out of the room to where there where lots of snacks. Geronimo reached for some yummy doughnuts but Champ slapped them out of his paw. Why did Geronimo attend the marathon? Champ offered him a carrot stick. Then, Geronimo asked him that how long that the marathon was. He told him that the marathon was 26.4 miles. He almost choked on his carrot. He thought it was crazy. He told him it was the craziest race ever. Then, he fainted. His chief had to use some type of salt to retrieve him. The next morning, Champ told him that it was the first day of training and Champ made him run around the block 30 times. Finally, he fainted. Champ dumped a cold vase of water on Geronimo. The next day, he took Geronimo to Fastfur Fields, a sport complex for athletes. In the afternoon he took him to play soccer with his friends. He got hit by the ball 25 times! He made Geronimo lift weights for 2 hours! Champ made him jump off the diving board and swim 300 laps in the swimming pool. Every day was the same. He let Geronimo run the runtime every day. He made him run all over the streets of New Mouse City and finished at the New Mouse City Library. He had to climb 67 steps to get to the front door. Geronimo didn’t even walk up the stairs. He crawled up the stairs. Trap dangled a piece of cheese on a finishing line. Both Thea and Geronimo wanted to get the piece of cheese. Benjamin met Geronimo at the bus stop every day for a delicious yogurt shake. After a few weeks Geronimo didn’t feel tired. Geronimo started to feel like he wasn’t a sports failure after all. Working with Champ wasn’t easy. He had thrown out the bad food like his Cheesy Chews in Geronimo’s refrigerator and he climbed up the library stairs without stopping. Months passed and Champ made him train harder each day. At last it was time for the marathon. The race was going to take place in Nibbles. It was a long trip to Nibbles. Geronimo wanted to take a nap but Champ gave him advice. He tried reading the paper. He saw Fifi the big cat. She had escaped from the Museum of nibbles where the scientists were trying to study her. Finally, it was time for lunch. Geronimo almost cried out loud. Three lettuce leaves, two raw carrots, and a boiled turnip stared at him. He hated the food. But he had to eat it because he was really hungry. He had to use his imagination. At last the plane was at Nibbles. When he reached the hotel he crawled straight to bed. Champ reminded Geronimo to set his alarm clock because the race was tomorrow. The next day, the alarm went off. When he went to the lobby entrance, he noticed that all the runners were tired. Lots of people were nervous. Before Geronimo knew it the big race began. Gloomy Gus Von Cracklefur told him that if the north wind blows your fingers would turn into ice. If the south wind blows it would fry you up a pancake. Lots of people were on the bridge. The north wind was blowing. It was freezing. An official mouse told all of them to start running. Geronimo was proud of himself when he reached mile one. After 3 miles, Geronimo stopped at a water station because Champ told him that he should drink water when he was exercising. A assistant passed him a cup of water and the assistant threw his hands around Geronimo. He thought that the assistant was trying to strangle him. Geronimo then knew it was Benjamin because he told him. Benjamin was here to cheer him on. After seeing Benjamin, he had new energy. After 13 miles, everything started to go downhill. Geronimo started to rest but the rest in piece pickup truck drove by. He was so scared that he ran away. Geronimo wailed and wailed. Trap and Thea gave him cheese. The counter assistant told him that the cheese had protein in it. He gobbled down the big piece of cheese in a flash. After 20 miles the south wind blew. It was from the mousehara desert. It was boiling hot! He took off everything that was winter gears. Before Geronimo could say Cheese Niblets there was a blast of wind and he couldn’t see anything! The runners told everyone to get down under the brick wall. Geronimo decided that he would pass. the time by humming songs. Everyone joined in. After the storm he took off. He had took off a little bit and the mosquitoes were coming straight for him. He tried slapping them but they came for more. Finally, the mosquitoes took off. For the moment he forgot about the race he was in and he tried splash his big snout but he fell into the pond. The pickup truck roomed by. He asked him if he wanted to quit. Some pond scum hit the driver. He scowled. Geronimo whispered “That will teach him”. Flames shot out of a school. They told him that the baby mouselet was inside. Geronimo found him hiding under the piano. When they were both outside safely, everyone clapped. Suddenly, someone was shouting. Geronimo gathered everyone’s running jacket and he told the mouse that was about to fall to the bottom of the valley. When he looked down he was wet. The Rattenburg River had burst its banks. Geronimo told everyone to hold hands so they wouldn’t be swept away by the river. Suddenly, the water dried up. They were ready to race again. He saw a mouse crying. She told him that she had lost her watch. Time passed. The other runners were long gone. In a blink of an eye he found the watch. She hugged him. He stopped at the Spicy Rat and he had a stomachache. He pooped the mint into his mouth and in a few minutes he was running again. He spotted a baby mouselet crying. He wailed that he had lost his mommy. Then his mom rushed by. She had found her baby mouselet. He was about to pick up speed but the runner next to him tripped. They both ran to the first aid. It took them a long time. She told him to meet him at the finish line. When he reached the 23 mile marker, a shifty rodent grabbed the bag from Aunt Sweetfur and took off. Geronimo scampered after him and lunge and grabbed his tail. He ripped the bag off the rodent and gave it back to Aunt Sweetfur. As he passed the bridge a mouse fell into the water because the bridge was at a steep angle. He dove into the water as the mouse began drowning. He scooped him up and a helicopter helped them. The doctors checked both of them and the mouse that was drowning had to stay over at the hospital. The helicopter that had rescued Geronimo and the other mouse that had to stay over at the hospital dropped him off at the bridge. He caught up with the other runners. Suddenly, a truck full with fish spilled them over. He organized the other runners to help the pickup. Finally, they were done. The driver hugged him. At that moment he was running in the dark. He turned around and was face to face with a huge cat. It was Fifi! He had escaped from the museum. Fifi took after Geronimo. Geronimo ran through the tape. He fainted. The workers caught Fifi and the other runners continued. After he woke up, Benjamin told him that he was first place in the crazy marathon. The crowd lifted Geronimo high into the air and he got awarded a gold medal. His family and Champ were proud of him.

Fun Games at Church

Today, we went to church. When we went to BGSG we sang songs and we had Jefferdy. The game Jefferdy is to answer the right questions. We were  versing the grade 3's. We tied 3-3.
    At the small group, I got a toy lizard. Then, we watched Aladdin. It was scary.
    At ETC, we played a lot of fun games. We would have one hour to play all the games. First, we played a hard game. 8 people had to hold the 8 strings and make the elastic cup expand so we could hold a cup to make a pyramid. It wasn't easy. The second game was called Adams. When the person says a number, you had to make a group with that number. For example, a person says 100. And you need a group of 100. If there is some people that can't find a group they are out. The third was called Rock Paper Scissors. Finally it was over. I thought the games were fun.
  After church, my dad came to pick me up. I had a great time at church.

At night,  I ate a box of sushi, some sushumi, and some miso soup. It was delicous.
