Nancy Drew and the Boxcar children are the popular ones.
What about Hatchet?

^ Hatchet? I haven't heard of those...

You have not heard the book, or the children reading the series in Elementary?
@______@;

lemme repeat myself.

i' v e n e v e r h e a r d o f t h a t b o o k.

or the kids reading it in elementary..

Never ever, eh?
That's kind of odd.
But the book is about a boy who gets stranded in the woodland of Canada, trying to survive.
His only tool, a hatchet.
They have two sequels, but either way, the boy gets out of the woods.
:3

and that's for elementary kids?

whoa..

interesting. seems a bit too realistic for an elementary book.

Well, I read it in Elementary.
Maybe the teachers give it to their class when their ready?
Or when they're mature enough for it.
xD

Animorphs was my favorite, I watched all the shows on Nick until it ended - i have 10 books at home.

I read Goosebumps and watched it on tv.


Hardy Boys =D.




Dang Nick, FoxKids used to be really good -_-.

I've heard of it, but it never really appealed to me.

hatchet by gary paulsen.

required reading.

doens't count as a series in my book, but sure.

I loved the Boxcar Children back then, I haven't stopped reading them until the summer of fifth grade.

Oh, and the Nancy Drew series, but I was too young to understand the book at points.

i used to read the box car children and goosebumps.
now, i despise reading and never do my book reports.

my history test was decent. it was AP tyle, so the answers were hard to figure out than the actually answers to the questions...if that makes sense


I f**king HATED THAT BOOK! we read it in 4th or 5th grade. Ugh. It was the first book I ever truly despised.


It was pretty poorly written. And I wasn't frightened or whatnot. I'd read worse by that point

But i still can't believe that was a book for little elementary kids. eh whateverrrr.




Ha ha same. I used to love to read, and now...i just hate it. Partly because all the books we have to read are retarded beyond belief.

Not nearly as bad as it sounds.

While I don't enjoy reading mow as much as I used to, I certainly just don't hate it. I just want my attention span back. And to read some decent books for class, also. The only one I liked last Year was The Great Gatsby

Ugh we just had to read boring books. There wasn't anything special about them

Sure, To Kill A Mockingbird influenced the times and all..but..now days? It's just..slightly boring.

And then..we had to read some book called Deathwatch? Yeah..majorly retarded there too.

and uhm..

The Oddessy, sp?, by homer. AKA as The Oddity by my dad. That was just...stupid.

Great classics...but boring as hell.

A lot of people loved TKMB, and I think I should have loved it, but it was the first book I ever had to annotate, so all the highlighting made it tedious

We read an abridged Odyssey freshman year in class. i was already familiar with it, so I read my own book during class instead

A Gathering of Old Men that year was awful

we had to read Huck Finn last year, which sucked. I didn't like it the first time we had to read if in 7th grade (we had to write an 8 page essay on it in 7th grade too, which I thought was the longest thing ever. And, to be honest, I don't think I've written anyhing that long since, and I'm a junior now.

Goosebumps and the Boxcar Children. [I read the whole series in second grade. :3]

Boxcar children. -sigh- those were good.

But...we have to read huck finn, king arthur, the crucible..and other books throughout of high school life.


gag me.

Hey, The Crucible is a really good play.

But the Crucible is awesome! Especially if you read it in class with an interesting teacher who reads as Proctor. A hot Abigail helps as well.

Oops.

Well.

I've never read it. I was just naming the books i know we're going to be reading.

I saw the movie and the movie was alright, so, i suppose the book is going to be alright.


-shrug-

We had to skip parts of the movie..I think. If we even watched it. I don't remember. Yes, yes we did. I'm getting it mixed up with Scarlet Letter- I'm not sure if he ever let us watch that one at all. I HATED that book. It had absolutely no point.

^ THATS THE OTHER BOOK!

roar.

It didn't seem interesting the first time i picked it up...

well yeah..our teacher had to edit the movie a bit..apparently freshmen can't handle nudity well.

We read it sophomore year, and could have handled it just fine, but he does more than enough things that could get him fired as it is, without showing movies with that stuff. Great teacher, but he often taught through perversion...kind of. I loved that teacher, even if he was an impossibly hard grader. I'm going to have him again next year, at least. See, I knew I took this 2 year IB thing for a reason.

Scarlet Letter was terrible. I couldn't keep enough of an interest to read it. I thought it was supposed to be about the affair, not the lack of anything at all interesting after the baby was born

lmao..

question. How old are you? I'm a sophmore..so..i'mjust getting there. but are you a senior? junior?


ugh. I had one teacher who was a bit perverted. Of course, it might have just been shakesphere though. God, i can never spell his name.

Blah.

Right now we're reading a separate peace. Boring as hell.

ahhh i hated that book.

they're all gay in that.

BLEH.

I'm a junior...but I took the junior class during my sophomore year

I actually liked A Separate Peace. We read that freshman year, but I'd read it in 8th for AR. No one else liked it

well..i'm only on chapter 7 so..it's kinda boring now..but I'm hoping that it'll get better.


the book seems a bit gay..like the characters..but whatever. they were weird back then i suppose.

Oh, it doesn't get better. And they don't get less gay. I don't know. I often like books everyone else hates. Like Jane Eyre in 7th grade. I was literally the only person who liked that. Even the girl who suggested it hated it. I liked it, though.

No one but me liked Watership Down in 8th grade, either. They still make fun of it. But then, that teacher was retarded

Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar was so funny. And I think that's it. I never really liked reading when I was younger.

I LOVE JANE EYRE!

lol. I liked it.

Never read watership down though...

ewwww jane eyre.

bah.

Ah..you're a guy.

Yeah, James despised Jane Eyre. I'm glad someone else liked it, though! The only other person I know who did is my mom, and it's her favorite book next to Gone With the Wind (I read that in 8th grade. Got me a shitload of AR points, since my mom has basically been telling me to love it since I was born)

^ Lmao. I tried watching the movie..but I fell asleep. Didn't help that it was late though.

But i really liked that book; Jane eyre.

I'm trying to think of other books but it's becoming a bit hard...

The Rainbow Fish
i have read nancy drew sometimes, goosebumps...today it's all about the Fear Street,i have read a lot of mystery books with the kid detective

OMG RAINBOW FISH!

I loved that book. Actually books..i think there were two..

Amelia Bedelia, Goosebumps, The Babysitters Club (I remember hating them, though...I read them anyway), Harry Potter (Haha. I'm stil obsessed), Half Magic, meh...I don't remember the rest.

OOH YEAH. if you give a moose a muffin hahah. or something like that

i liked nancy drew, babysitters club, n encyclopedia brown

the bailey school or something it was like 'cupid doesn't flip hamburgers' and things like that.

i also liked stuff by tamora pierce

Junie B. Jones was t3h awesome. I didn't really care for The Babysitters Club or Nancy Drew.
I was obsessed with the Dear America. I'd always check those out when I was in the library. I also liked the Arthur series when I was in 1st grade. Oh, and The Bernstein Bears were cool too.
WAYSIDE!
Oooh, The Rainbow Fish was cool, too.
The Bailey Schoolkids! I loved those. And I liked Amelia Bedelia, too. All that stuff. And Clifford. And other stuff.

HOLY SHIT JUNIE B. JONES!!!

I never read Junie B. Jones. My sisters like them. They make me cringe. Don't write books for impressionable small children that bad grammar is ok!!

YES!!! Such horrible grammar.

my mom finally got so sick of listening to my complaining and corrections that she started refusing to read them to them out loud

lmao that's great!

And yet she won't force them to stop watching Spongebob

I really liked those Magic Tree House books..Haha, where they go into their tree house and somehow they go back in time to some important event.
Yup, those were cool.

lmao..it was his voice that really got to me.
Grammar, yes, but that damn voice.
