My Notebook Advice

Sometimes you have a new pretty awesome notebook that you don't want to waste on something useless, but you just don't know what exactly to write in them! This problem always occurs to me, and I have some advice on this.

Maybe you want to keep a dream notebook? Maybe you want to keep a happiness notebook? Or maybe you'd want to have a travel notebook?A lot of it depends on look. Say you've got a notebook with a zipper that fits perfectly in tight spaces without bending. It would work nicely as a travel notebook as you can put it almost anywhere. But what about a notebook that has a cute rainbow in the front?  It would suit perfectly as a happiness notebook. Look matters. Also, the thickness of the notebook matters too. Make sure you choose an appropriate type notebook for whatever reason.

My Book Choices

Here are some of my all time favourite books...

1. Wildwood, Colin Meloy

This book is for readers that love realistic fiction, and a lot of fantasy. Wildwood also has a touch of fear, however that's why I like it. The book is about a girl named Prue, her friend, Curtis, and her baby brother, Mac. Mac gets abducted by crows that take him away to Wildwood, where Prue and Curtis have to risk their lives for Mac by fighting talking coyotes, helping bandits, and starting revolutions. This book is enchanted with Prue's feelings and gestures as she runs into an unexpected adventure.

2. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, Grace Lin

I love this book for it's love, delicacy, and grace. It's a great bedtime story, because it soothes the mind and heart. This book has a lot of Chinese legends and folktales, which I have never heard of. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is set under the Fruitless Mountain, where a young girl named Minli lives a poor and pressured life. She spends every day in the fields, where there is endless work.
Minli wishes to give her family good fortune by climbing the Never-Ending Mountain, where the Old Man of the Moon lives. He knows the answers to everything. Once you read  Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, you will never forget the love that Grace Lin put into this book.

3. Mustaches for Maddie, Chad Morris and Shelly Brown

This true story is filled with faith and compassion, and that you should not be afraid if you have people you love all around you. This book follows a young girl named Maddie, who has a normal life until she discovers that she has brain tumor. Maddie does not want to let her class in on this, because she's afraid of what everyone will think of her. By the way, Maddie has an obsession with mustaches, and she thinks that with a mustache on, anything can be funny. But what will she do with her brain tumor, and how will the surgery go? After all, even brain tumor does not look funny with a mustache on. You will feel faith in Maddie once you read this, and all the obstacles she has to overcome.

The SSAT Test

Hello! Today, I will update you about the test that I was talking about earlier. It's called the SSAT test and SSAT stands for...

S - Secondary

S - School

A - Admissions

T - Test

(I found that out just now)
Well, I'm taking the test somewhere in October, and the only good part is... that I might be taking it along with one of my friends! With a good friend around, things get less scary. Also, another good thing about the test is that if we both pass, then we're going to the same school! (Although I think only my friend will make it...) I don't want to get my hopes too high, because the biggest chance is that I might not make it. I can even bet you a soda that I'll stay in my old, boring, school. I wish I could see the future of that test to see if I pass. The worst thing about it is that all the stuff is really hard. (and you know what I'm talking about if I'm a grade 5 trying to learn grade 7 math!) There's a 2 inch study book of all the things on the test. If I had one wish, it would be to pass the SSAT with my friend along. Wish me luck!

Sorry For Not Writing, But I'm Back Now!


Hi, to make up for what you missed, I'll just give you a summary of everything that's happened lately.
So, I'm in 5th grade now, and I'm not as childish as I was! Anyways, not a lot has changed lately, but we did travel to Philadelphia. (Just saying, the Philly Cheese Steak is not as cheesy as it sounds!) We visited our friends there, and a their BIG cat! He was super fluffy, and his name was Rudyk. Also, I do synchronised swimming now, and it's really hard, (but a bit fun too!) I had 2 competitions already, and I have to admit they're kinda fun! Oh, and I'm also doing the SSAT test next year! It's super freaky, and that's partially what makes me not to do it! (The other part is because it's Grade 7 math!) But, if I pass, it gets me into a cool, new, private school, I guess it's worth the trouble. (I'll extend more on the test in my next post). Well, I guess we will have to depart for now, but not  forever!
