Showoff

  Showoff by Gordon Korman is an extraordinary book.  This book is a realistic fiction book.  I'm saying this because it is a book about a Griffin or The Man With the Plan, who tries to save Savannah's dog.  When Savannah goes to a dog show Luther her dog attacks another dog.  Griffin has a plan to save Luther by getting him to win the dog show.  See if he is successful.  If I had to rename this book I would name it Best in Show since when a dog wins a dog show.  See if Luther really wins.






  While I was reading the book I was still wondering if Luther would really win.  I was wondering this because Griffin isn't very good at training dogs and Griffin is very young and a kid.  I was reading and I thought that Griffin was going to be watching Luther when Luther attacked another dog.  I think this because Griffin is scared of Luther and I thought that Griffin would get scared and drop Luther's leash.  I didn't think that Savannah would drop the leash because she also has a monkey a bird 3 cats and 3 other dogs.  So I thought she would have had more experience.

My Side of the Mountain

  So far in my book Sam ran away and is living in the wilderness.  He is learning many things.  He can widdle things like fishhooks.  He hunts deer and made a suit, a door and a blanket out of the fur.  Along the journey he meets a weasel and names him Baron Weasel and he stole a duck falcon at birth out of the tree.

In the book I think that he is not going to go home and he is going to be happy.  I am not definite about my prediction but I still wonder how things are going go for him?  I also want to know why he did so much work to find his grandfathers farm and then left to go live in a hollow tree?

What do you think is going to happen to Sam?Would you not go home?
