This is Connor:
Today Austin, mom and I are going to go to the mall. I need a new book, and lately I have been reading Calvin and Hobbes,which mom thinks is not educational. But, to tell you the truth, I think Calvin and Hobbes is very educational. First of all, the vocabulary that Calvin uses is vast. Some of the words I don't even know. For instance, in a comic strip Calvin's mom comes into Calvin's room and says "Rise and shine." Then Calvin grumbles and his mom says "The early bird gets the worm." Calvin replies by saying "Big incentive." I had to look up the word incentive.
Anyway, I have been reading Redwall,a series by Brian Jacques. Oh, and also, I'm reading The Ranger's Apprentice series, by John Flanagan. But, I just finished all the Redwall books that we have, and I can't get the next Rangers Apprentice book because the sixth one is only out in Australia, as are the seventh and eighth books. Australia is where the author lives. So, I can't wait until I can get a new book at the mall. I keep begging mom to let me take out my $100 from the bank and spend it all on books, but she says no, we can go to the library.
