Hi, I Just finished a great book called Mr. Lemoncello's library. I will be telling you about Kyle. Some of his inside traits are he is a big board gamer. He always wants to beat his brothers. Kyle is not very smart he is smart though when it comes to board games. Kyle's outside traits are nothing the book didn't say.

In my book I am going to tell you about Henry. On the inside he is a little selfish. When Henrietta wants to help him in his journeys in the cupboards he always tells her that she is just going to mess everything up. On the outside he has a lot of scars and his eyes are swollen.

In my book there is a character named Angela Wexler. On the outside she where's lots of makeup and wears fancy dresses. This tells me she cares about how she looks. On the inside she is pressured by her mom to do certain things so that the mom will look good like she has a perfect daughter. But Angela wants people to see her self and wants to go to medical school.

I am going to inform you about Turtle Wexler, A character in the book THE WESTING GAME.
Turtle's real name is Tabitha Ruth, but she does not like the name, so she calls herself Turtle.
This tells me that turtle is embarrassed of her real name.
Turtle Is also very protective of her braid. Whenever someone touches it, she kicks them in the shins.
This tells me that she likes her hair.
Last, Turtle's mom likes her sister Angela more than she likes Turtle, so I think that this makes turtle feel sad.

In my book Swindle the main character is a kid named griffin . My character often lies to his parents for example one time when he said "Mom dad I am going to ben's (his friend)" but he was actually going this store to talk to a manger. This tells me he is a lier.

In dandelion fire the main character Henry has some inside and outside traits. Some of his outside traits are a burnt hand. He got struck by lightning and it hit his hand. Also one of his outside trait is that he is blind. When he was struck by lightning it only hit his hand but affected his eyesight.
Some of his inside traits are that he is not caring. I realize that he mostly doesn’t care about his cousin Henrietta. I know this because. When she goes into a cupboard and doesn’t come back he doesn’t want to find her and make sure she is safe. He is mean because he is giving up on life. He is giving up because he can't see and he believes it is the end of the world. He also ignores everybody.
I realize that he is also very selfish. He orders people around when he wants something. He won’t even ask nicely he just get really frustrated and takes it out on everybody.

In the Westing Game I found out that Angela was the bomber who was blowing up Sunset Towers. Then Sydelle overheard Turtle telling Angela not to bomb anymore in the hospital, and Sydelle went off her top! This tells me that Sydelle may not be the murderer, because why would Sydelle go crazy if she was the murderer?

I think Kyle is a very kind and helpful person. Also when he wins or looses he never is a bragger or poor loser. Yet he thinks in the simplest way. If he had to escape or do something he would just do the simplest and easiest way to do it.

I am reading a great book called Loot. My character Jules has many traits. On the inside she cares about a lot of things and does not like being a thief. On the outside Jules is strong and believes in everyone. This tells me that Jules is a kind person who cares about others and herself.

For me, I'm picking the character Alex Myers, from The Sixth Man. On the inside, Alex is kind, but he doesn't like people who are rude, obnoxious, or smug. He cares for his family, as he is the only man in his house, and his friends, especially his best friend,Jonas Ellington, and girlfriend, Christine Whitford. On the outside, he has red hair, is a quarterback, point guard, and pitcher. He lives in Pennsylvania. His parents are divorced, and he lives with his sister, Molly, and mom.

In my book (I already finished it), One characters name is Grace Wexler. Her outside traits are wearing loads and loads of fancy makeup, and also really FANCY dresses. Her inside traits are sassy/rude (well to turtle at least), and acting so perfect about Angela's wedding.

In my book the westing game, I have picked a character named Otis amber. He kinda seems suspicious because he an Birtha E. Crow were seen coming out of the Westing house the night of the murder. I also think that he could be the murderer because he is an under cover agent hired by Sam Westing. I think that this is important because he could have worked for sam westing the snuck into his room at night and killed him. can't wait to keep reading!

My character is Storm, she is a teenage character who likes to be on her electronics and is a little bit "over weighted!"(FAT!) She knew the ship before Beck's parents even died sailing on it! She was the one who knew where the hidden key that unlocks "the room" was. Her inside traits are she smart, mysterious, observant, and helpful, her outside traits are well, "fat" glasses, brown hair, last name kid, and stared yellow skirt along with pink rain jacket!
