Then, Giusueppe then finds a green violin. It makes a beautiful noise. He gets a lot of money from it. But he hides it to save up for a boat ticket out a there. He then, gets betrayed by one of his friends that he gives money to. His friend shows Stephano his stash. Then, he tries to run away at that moment. He escapes but he is on the run for his life.

Hannah is a maid at a hotel. Then, one day this strange person comes to the hotel. She wants Hannah to be her personal assistant for the rest of her stay. The people at the hotel are mean to her so she accepts. They go to an opera with Fredrick. Because they asked Fredrick to make an automaton for them. After that, her father gets very sick, and the doctor says they have to amputate or get a very expensive medicine. They decide to get the medicine. But they can't afford it so Hannah asks her "master" to loan the money to her. When she runs back to the hotel and finds her helping the people that she didn't like at the hotel to find some "treasure". Hannah got mad so she stole a necklace and told one of her friends to sell it. Her friend gives it back to the head manager of the hotel and Hannah gets fired.

Fredrick is an  apprentice clock master. He is secretly building a giant clockwork man because he wants to get into a hard clockwork business to get into when he's older. He steels a coal shute for the chest, and then he starts on the hardest part. The head. Then, one day Hannah comes with her "master", and she asks him to make an automaton for them. Then, one day, he goes to the person Hannah's following and asks her about it he also asks where Hannah is and she says she doesn't work here anymore. Then the strange guest has to leave for a mysterious reason and has to cancel the order.

I really like this book. I'm not done with it yet because it's a two week book, but I would defiantly give it a 5/5 stars.

Island of blue dolphins

For my children's classic I read The Island of Blue Dolphins. It's a story about an Indian girl  named Karana who is on an island that is shaped like a fish sunning itself around it there are lots of creatures like blue dolphins( of course) and otters and other animals. Her tribe sails to the east but they leave her there. For many years she waits for a ship to come and get her It's the story of how she grows up, making shelter, making weapons, finding food and fighting wild dogs. I found this book kind of boring acctually and it is kind of similar to Hatchet. I've never heard of this book untuil now and I wouldn't give a high recommendation but if you have nothing to do, be my guest.

Frankenstein

This book is wow. That's all I have to say. It's really awesome like i said in my other blog I really liked it. The part that I said when I was at a confusing fpart was when. The creator or Victor Frankenstien creates the monster. However the confusing part was when the monster killed his wife and then his dad dies of guilt. To me that part is really confusing. That' not spoiling anything  The book is still really getting lots of details that I missed.  I recommend this to everyone

Frankenstien

I really liked this book not just because it was a classic and not because it was just awesome. I loved this book because it was written well. I hadn't known what my favorite writing style was untuil now. It is very good, and it's also not like all of the Disney cartoons (if they have one about frankenstien) it's very good. ( I know I said this a million times but) this book is very good. I think everyone in the class should read this at one point or another because........it's really good. I think this book should very well stay a classic for the rest of time, it is on of my favorite books now. I think this book is a classic because it kind of shows a lot of things that happen to average people in their social life, and(as I said before) the writing style is very good.

Catcher and the rye

This book is really good. And I don't know how to explain it besides of Max said at the talk about the classic books. It's about a kid at a boarding school and then he goes and runs out to New York basically. It's really good and it's one of my favorite books and I think everyone in the class to get to read it sometime.  It's about 200 pages long  land not that many words per page so it's a pretty quick read.  It's written really well and it's really good book.
