Hitty: Her First Hundred Years is about a doll named Hitty, who is made from mountain-ash wood, which is said to be lucky wood. So it is proven as Hitty writes her memoirs she relates all the tales of her first hundred years, and all the adventures she had, as she went from owner to owner and eventually became an antique.
Now, I find this story, to be very interesting but slightly confusing, because there are some things that are said in the book, that are overlooked later. But, it is really interesting to hear all her tales and her adventures as she travels through time from colonies to cars. I in all, liked this book and think it would be a good story for kids.

P.E.
P.E. stinks. I'm not fit, I get that! I understand I have to get more fit but this is just plain cruel how they do it. I feel like they try to make me miserable!
I'm taking my fitness assesment at this time and it is just too frustrating. We have to everything in a group -- like push-ups and sit-ups -- and your group knows your score. If you get a bad score they know it and it's embarrassing. What stinks the most about that is that I'm in a group with people I'm not really good friends with because all of good friends are in another P.E. class! It's sort of the same with the sit and reach because there are some kids around me I don't know very well who hear it and one of them is this jerk from the locker room.
The other part about P.E. are the other kids. A lot of the kids are just plain jerks, for example, making fun of people. Now, I try to stay out of other people's business, so I'm not usually made fun of but when I hear other people made fun of I just get frustrated. The kids who aren't jerks make me feel kind of bad sometimes when they're all talking about their scores. If I get a bad score then I don't want to hear about everyone else's good score.
And finally, the P.E. teachers. They tell us that we're doing a horrible job and that we can do better than that! Well, what if we can't? What if it's just them? We try our hardest and try to do better. Why make us feel even more bad about it?
I understand there are some kids that like or are good at P.E. but this is how I feel.

American Idol
Another person has been voted off of American Idol. I believe the bottom two was Thia and the Spanish girl. Can you guess which one was voted off? Before you read on post a comment thinking who it is.
If you guessed the Spanish girl you were right. Good job! I'm sorry that she got voted off because she was pretty good.
I Pity the Nevil
In the last ICarly premiered Nevil is hated by America for yelling at a little girl because she bumped her cart into him and he yelled at her. It was caught on film and posted on the internet. He goes to ICarly for help and after a test they help him. He sells cream corn and some drink but that does nothing. Everybody still hates him. Finally, he apoligizes on ICarly and apoligizes personally to that little girl and tries not to harm ICarly ever again.
Kids
Story
Little Liza Jane was walking down the street when she saw a little girl. It was the new girl at school and nobody talked to her. She wanted to fit in with the crowd but she didn't like seeing the girl so sad.
"Oh what should I do?" she asked herself.
Finally, she walked over to the new girl.
"Hi!" she told her.
"Hi," the new girl looked down.
"I go to your school. I know because I see you around," she told her.
And that's what started a conversation between the new girl and Little Liza Jane.

Story
In the clouds live fairies and about eight years ago a kid was made fun of for having no wings as a fairy. But, she grew up and grew very beautiful wings. A beautiful rainbow color and everyone was jealous. The fairy could give other fairies rainbow wings and she did! Because they made fun of her made no difference. She liked to share! Everyone was happy with their rainbow wings and everyone was happy that the fairy gave them the wings.
