This is the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever.

It’s the 6th book in the series.

When I tried to check it out at the library, they would not let me because it was new and I needed to live in Port Washington. In fact it was just released yesterday.

But when we got home my parents pre-ordered it.

It’s really funny. The Heffley family is stuck indoors because of a big blizzard. I’ll tell you more but I do not want to give away the story.

It took me around 1 – 2 hours to read it.

Recently I read the 39 clues series.

It was terrific!

There’s a website, too!

There are books, card packs, and online missions.

They are on a 3rd-5th grade reading level.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.

Geronimo was an Indian warrior.

The Into Volcano one was about two boys who explore a volcano.

The Pet one was about a cat and a dog and a turtle.

The Benny and Penny one was about two little mice.

I read 3 Dragon books by Ruth Stiles Gannett. They were about the adventures of a boy named Elmer and the dragon he saved.  These were fantasy books, so it couldn’t really happen.  There’s tigers eating pink lollipops, birds finding treasure, and flying dragon.

I just finished the first Encyclopedia Brown book.

It was about a 10 year-old boy who wants to become a detective.

Do you want to know why they call him “Encyclopedia”?

Because he knows so many facts.

There were 10 cases & he solved them all!

There were 2 stories about bank robberies.

There was one about a stolen necklace and 7 other cases.

Last night I finished a biography about Helen Keller.

She was a girl who couldn’t see, hear, or talk.

Then she had a teacher named Annie Sullivan.

She learned a lot from the teacher.

But soon the teacher couldn’t see either.

Helen learned how to write letters in the palm of her hands. If she could see, she could use sign language like other deaf/mute people. Here is a demonstration:

And she learned braille so she could read with her finger tips.

After I read the first Droon book, I read the next dozen in the series:

And today I hope to finish Book 14 – Voyage of the Jaffa Wind. I read 80 pages so far today and have 52 pages left. This is the longest book yet in the series.
