Meet Kirsten

I love this book. This is number one of the Kirsten books. She talks swedish. Like "Tak" means 'thank you'. And I love this book because I the end. She came from Sweden to America on a ship. They had a terrible storm and then they made it to land. And then they went on a train and then they didn't have a cart wagon so they had to walk and walk and walk and walk and walk to her Uncle's barn house.
I like Kirsten because it's my Mommy's favorite girl too!
The End.

Mystery Ranch

I love this book, it's mystery ranch. The girls go to Aunt Jane's house and she is grouchy! And Aunt Jane is nice, she gets nicer every day. And she has been sick, well that's what they think, but she's really not. But she's in bed. And the Mystery Ranch belongs to the Alden kids because Aunt Jane gives it to them. Then they find a mine! And there's lots of cars and guards for the house. They found rocks that have uranium inside. They look like rocks but they have sand inside. One of the girls dropped one, and it broke and sand went all over. It is made by sand! Really thick wet dried sand.
Grandfather comes to the ranch at the end and everyone is happy!

The Yellow House Mystery

This is Yellow House Mystery. They find out that the yellow house on Surprise Island is Bill's house. But Bill is gone. He's been gone for a long long time. We don't know where he went! It's a mystery.
So the kids and Joe go to find him. They ride in Canoes and sometimes they have to carry them. And they   get to little town where Bill lives, but he's... is it called a Toad? Oh yeah, a Hermit! He's a hermit. They just think the man is a hermit but then they find out it's Bill! So they take him home.
I love this book. That's all I want to talk about today.

Surprise Island

The kids found their Grandpa and they first live in a box car, and then their Grandfather finds them and they move to his house. In the summer they go to live on Surprise Island. In the book, Joe was his name, but they didn't know his name in real life. Joe was a really handy man. They live in the big barn and they have a garden. They peeled the peas. Henry fixes up shelves for the barn while the girls cook. They went clamming too! And Watch their dog finds lots of crabs. 

They really like to swim, but Benny thinks it's too cold. Then he gets into the water without knowing it! 

They find lots of flowers so they make a museum. There's nests and paper birds.

They find a cave with lots of indian things in it and lots of things. And an arrowhead! And an axe head. 

Violet gets a violin because she wants one so bad. Then Benny catches a big fish! Grandfather loves their museum. 

They make a cake and there's a little toy Watch dog on top! Because it's Benny's birthday. They go finding the crab tubs, but one is empty. And.... that's all. The End.
