Maxime's first novel


Hello Guys,
I want to present my wonderful novel. The title is Shark Tooth Tale. The author of this novel is Abby Klein. The story is a little boy who likes sharks. His name is Freddy (principal character). He goes with his mother and his sister to the mall and they go in a shop. He saw a Megalodon tooth fossilized. He was surprised! But it costs fifty dollars and he didn’t have fifty dollars. He asked his mother to buy it and she said nooo! When he comes back home, he asked his father to buy the Megalodon tooth. What do you think he said ? No !!
Next morning, he took the bus and he talked with is genius friend. His name is Robbie. Freddy said that he saw a Megalodon tooth. His friend was surprised! A Megalodon tooth is a very old tooth , it’s like a lot of millions of years old. Robbie gave some tricks to Freddy to help him to get more money to buy the famous tooth.

I didn’t finish the book yet, but I explained all that I read already. This is a cool book to read. I think it is the best novel that I ever saw. I didn’t find something bad about it.

See you , Maximum.

Francis first novel


Hello, it’s Francis!

How are you? Me, it’s going well because I have finish to read my first novel! The title of my novel is “ Katie Kazoo Switcheroo, No Biz Like Show Biz”. I had to read and to do a summary of this book. I read the book and I did the summary but J.E.(Jacques-Eric, our teacher) didn’t correct it already.

The author of this book is Nancy Krulik. I can write you a little bit of the book (a little summary). It’s a girl who is doing the scenery for a play. The day just before the play a magic wind came and switch Katie (the decorator) and Miriam’s (the Snow Fairy) personality. It means Miriam does the scenery and Katie does the Snow Fairy. I won’t continue this summary because you will know all the story. What was bad in this book was the magic wind because the author doesn’t explain it. The magic wind was the plot of the novel. I didn’t know if the magic wind will come again and I won’t tell you !!!

I think that this book is more a girl book because on 10 characters only 3 or 4 were boys. My favorite character was Miriam because she is a little bit shy and she sings really good. The words in the book were not really hard to understand because I already know all the words that were written. The book contains a total of 76 pages and about 10 pages are beautiful images. I like to read books with images because it helps me to understand the story.

This book is in a serie of 24 books because it’s the twenty-fourth book in the serie. Maybe the serie is bigger but in mine there are only 24 novels.

I will quit because it will ring in few minutes!!!

Hi dear pen pals!

This time I’m going to talk to you about my pet, my family and my house.

I love my pet, she’s a dog named Zouki. I don’t have sister, she’s like mine, she’s six years old, her coat is white, black and beige. When nobody is at home, she’s waiting for us on the front yard. When we get out of our car, she jumps on us.

Now, my family. In my family, we are four and there’s ZOUKI! My father, Emilio, works as a manager for four Desjardins banks. My mother, Annie, is working in BML, she’s working in an office. BML is a business that is repairing and constructing roads. Last time I saw a BML truck, the guy in it was constructing a bridge. My brother, Marc-Olivier is in secondary one and I like to play hockey with him.

Finally, my house. It’s almost 100 years old! I love my house because it’s big, we have a back yard large enough to ride an A.T.V, there’s an old farm behind my house. In my house, I have the smallest bedroom, but it is the most beautiful one. In my house, there’s a basement. It’s a two floors house. We heat our house with a wood stove and my mother decorate it with stained-glass window that she is making.

Thomas' Portrait


Dear pen pals!

Hi!
My name is Thomas I’m 11 years old and I’m in grade 5. Now I will talk about my brothers.
Mathieu is 8 years old but almost 9 and Philippe is 4 years old. Mathieu and Philippe are funny because they say jokes and it’s fun to play with them. I like to play hockey with my two brothers. Philippe has a good slapshot. Philippe wants to go all the time at the farm but my father doesn’t want Philippe to come because he is irritating. Mathieu follows me almost all the time. Mathieu did two big concussions. When he was 7 years and 6 years old. One is because he did a jump with is bicycle and he fell and the other one is when he fell down from a bunk bed.
The name of my mother is Marie-Josée and she works at the bank.
I really like to milk the cows with my father and his name is Francis. When he was young he worked at the farm with his father. When I milk the cows I speak with my father and I go beside cows to pet them. Cows are one of my favourite animals.
We renovate my house in 2000 or 2001 it’s a big house. My house is very old it is around 140 years old. It’s the second oldest house in the village. My house has 3 floors.

Bye
Thomas

Hello, it’s again Francis!!!

Would you to know a little bit about my family, my house and my pets? In my family I have a sister her name is Cynthia, a brother, Martin, he is not on the picture because he’s not living in the house. My mom is Louise, and finally my father-in-law, Gilbert. Cynthia is really excited and she is 10 years old, Martin is 20 years old and he is really calm, my mom is calm too but she is 40 years old and finally Gilbert is really grumpy with 57 years old.

At my home I have 2 mandarins, 2 cats and 2 dogs. I will only speak about my two dogs. The tallest is Toby and the other is «Fi-Fille». Toby is «Fi-Fille»’s baby and he is really taller than his mother. They are really calm (inside) because outdoor they run a lot. Fi-Fille is old because she is 7 human years and 49 in dog years. Toby is 3 human years and 15 in dog years. We gave a nickname to Fi-Fille and Toby. Fi Fille is «La Grosse» and Toby is «Le Courailleur». We gave this nickname to Toby because when he is outside for only 10 minutes he’s leaving his kennel.

In the house we have 3 floors. The 1st one is the basement. On the 2nd we have the kitchen, a living room, the bath room and some closets. And finally on the 3rd we have my bedroom and some other rooms.

So San Francis salutes you!!!

Marc-André's Portrait


Hello !!
I am your friend Marc-André and I want to present you my family. In my family there is my little sister Allyson, my little brother Zakary, my father Eric, my mother Melanie and me Marc-André. My little sister is 9 years old. She owns a rabbit named Clementine. My little brother is 5 years old. My mother is 31 years old. She will be a teacher in one year. But now she is sub-teaching.

I hope it will be a boy. My father is 33 years old and he owns a company with my grandfather. He is a truck driver, a mechanic man and he has the ability to repair everything.

Now I want to present you my wonderful cat named Mousseline. She is a girl and she is six or seven years old. My mother bought her from an old woman who didn’t like Mousseline. Until now she had 3 or 4 breeds. We couldn’t adopt one because we had 2 cats and 1 dog. But one time we adopted one. We named him P’tit Poux and after 1 or 2 months, a car past on him.

Now my dear house. My house is between 100 and 120 years old. It is white and red. But now we are renovating it. It is lifted 7 feet in the sky. Why ? Because we lift it at a height of 3 feet and after my father destroyed the wall of the basement. In 10 days, the house will be down again. But before my father has to rebuild the basement with concrete.

See you

Marc-André

HI DEAR PEN PALS!!!

I wrote you because I want to present my cat. It all began when my Brother Jordan opened a door and a cat came inside my house. The cat went down stairs and into a box. Few days later my mom decided to keep it. Two weeks later the cat gave birth to two cats but one was dead. One week later the mom of the cat got hit by a car, so now only my cat is still alive. When he was a baby my mom was giving him milk with a syringe for 2 or 3 months. Now my cat is healthy and I love him. Now you know the story of my cat.

My family and my house.
My mother is the best hairdresser in the world so my father build a hairdressing salon because you know when you are the best you deserve the best. My father is a sales man, he owns a company called S.A.M (service-Agro-mechanic.) I have a brother too, he goes to school, he is in secondary 4, but he loves to drive his car and to do wheelies with his scooter as a hobby. My house is 21 years old but my family and me did an extension last year. In my house there are 3 bedrooms, 3 washrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 (Play room, living room.) 1 tan salon and 1 veranda. (It’s not a small house!!!)
