The good news is the gypsies and Iorek are on the way to save the day. My new question is is why do they want to seperate children from there daemons and how is Lyra going to save her dad from the armored bears. Im predicting that they seperate children from there daemons so they dont atract dust I think this because the nurses just say they are makeing them more grown up and grown ups dont atract dust. I also think that Lyra will try to trick the armored bears because Iorek said the Bear king falls for flattery and with bears as strong as tanks that is the only option she has.

I think that Iorek will become one of the main characters because he said he owed Lyra a debt for helping him get his armor back and because they are both powerful an example of Iorek's power is he is a metal worker and he bended a tractor back in place with ease ( the armored bears are much bigger and stronger than reagular polar bears). An example of Lyras power is how the witches have been talking about her for hundreds of years about how she can read the alethiometer and that they can not complete this mission with out her and she has to do it all with out any leading from any one.

Not to Care about what other people say And not to get into Trouble With other Students an not get involved with students problems or bullying other kids. I think Maleeka is a really Good student And she Should of not Got on that stuff that she got in trouble for Like She "burning" The Class room and how she got suspended for it witch Charlese and the twins Should of gotan in Trouble for it because char wanted to get revenge on Miss Saunders. Witch i think maleeka should of said no And droped out of that group of char and the twins. BUT she only did it To get the clothes that char was Giving her and maleeka was trying to change because she didnt like how she was and the skin that she is in. Maleeka and John Jonh wouldnt really get along and at the end it really surprised me because maleeka saved his butt. I Really enjoyed reading this book.

She re-wrote them nice and neat and handed them to the librarian so she can enter the contest. Im my opinion i think that maleeka should win because she is a very good writer and her mother thinks that she a very good writer and that she can become a writer when she gets older I agree with her. The librarian said You now that there's a lot of kids that have entered. Maleeka thought and said well its worth the try and i need the money to pay of my problem at school. How "I" Burnt Miss Saunders Room. Couple days after she recived a letter saying "Congratulations! The third annual young writers committee at the martin malcolm library is pleased to announce you as a winner of this years contest" When maleeka got that latter she was sooo Happy and surprised She showed her mom the letter they both are kinda happy but her mother is kinda upset about the room burning.

Couple Pages before i was reading about how Maleeka got harassed By all of her "friends" that "like" I put in cotation marks because all of her friend are fake and they only like maleeka so she can do every bodies homework because maleeka is one of the smartest girls and is a A students. And people Like the Twins and char Always make front of her in my opinion. couple pages back maleeka went to a field trip to Washington D.C And when She was going to get in the buss people were yelling mean Things and Caleb The guy that she use to like or she still does but he was on the buss and he didn't help her he was just sitting there like nothing was going. He said that he was sorry Many times and and he admitted to her that he likes her a lot. And she couldn't believe it. I feel like Caleb and maleeka are a good couple i think that Caleb would be a great person for maleeka to have because he would actually help her with her bullying that she has at school.

So Lyra and the Gypsies are now sailing north she is now backed up with a way to get north and an army of Gypsies all that they need to do now is confront the people that have stolen the children. I have also read that the armored bears have Lyra's uncle but the question is why they have him, I doubt that it is related to the stolen children because it doesnt make since what bears would need with children.

When a lady named Mrs.Coutler asks her to come help her on her journey to the north Lyra takes the opportunity, but as they are traveling Lyra figures out that Mrs.Coutler is the one who organized the people to capture the children and she wanted Lyra to help her, so Lyra runs away. So now I am thinking how is Lyra going to save her uncle and the stolen children. All that she has is a golden compass that the head master gave her that tells her the truth, but the problem is she doesn't know how to use it. I am predicting that she will figure out how to use the compass and use it to get the truth on where her uncle and the children are.

When Jerimey stands up for maleeka. Because in class Miss S was talking about romeo An juliet it was an Assingment to read last night but maleeka didnt read it. so John john starts picking on her and jerimey says " Why you always on Maleeka's case" . I was Surprised because John john Is like a bully in school And it takes a lot of courage to stand Up to him. And another part that surprised me was when jerimey and John John Were Fighting. Worm is one of the quietest Kid in the Room and He says " The period is almost over and you to Ding-dongs are wasting the time" I was really surprised and maleeka was to because Nobody knew that he acutly cared about was Going on.

I belive her name is char. She basacly "controls" the lunch and her friends. I chose this part because char is always being mean to her and making her do stuff that maleeka doesnt want to do.

I don't beleive this because I read that some people are taking them up north and something about dust (not just regular dust a magical substance) I am wondering why children? I think it may have something to do with how there daemons can still shape shift, but that is just my prediction.

One part of the book that I found very cool is that the humans in this book are born with daemons that can talk. The daemons can shape shift into any animal you can imagine until you reach a certain age than they just stay as on type of animal. I think that this story is in another dimension and it takes place in the 1800s I think this because there is not much technology. The main character is Lyra and her daemon Pan. Lyra is a very mischievous girl while Pan is more cautious I think they make a good team because Lyra is very courages but what Pan lacks in courage he can make up for making smarter descicions than Lyra.

You really like to travel. I don't really travel as much as you do!! The last vacation I went on was to Florida and my family and I went to Disney with another family that we are really good friends with. I love going to Disney. My mom tries to get us to go at least one a year. A couple years back, she planned a 2 vacations to Disney in one year! The farthest place I've been was in the bahamas and we stayed at the really cool place called Atlantis. It is filled with family fun things to do. And I love the beaches down in the bahamas because the sand is white and thats my ideal beach. the water is soooo clear and like blue. its kinda weird. i went snorkeling and we saw so many tropical fish. my dad my cousin and i tryed feeding hot dogs to some of the fish. when we were out of hot dog it was trouble because they thought our fingers were the hot dogs and they were biting our fingers and toes and we had to swim back to shore as fast as we could. we were bleeding really bad. that was my favorite vacation and probably the funniest too! what was your favorite vacation?
