Ted has a bigger problem: he found a family of 3 in an abandoned farmhouse in his town that is running away from somebody trying to track them in Texas. Ted promises not to tell anybody about them, but he tells his teacher anyway. The day after he told her, the family is gone and there are tire tracks in the driveway. What happened to them? What will Ted do now?
I liked this book because at times it can get very suspenseful and mysterious. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery. I give this book a four out of four star rating.

Henry Ford, Boy With Ideas
By: Hazel B. Aird and Catherine Ruddiman
Book Blurb By A.J.
This book talks about the life of Henry Ford and his childhood, adulthood. This book says the inventions he made as a kid and the cads he produced as an adult. He built his first car in a shed in the back of his home. It was to big to fit threw the door way, so he used a hammer to make it bigger so it could fit threw the door way. After all this happened, Henry was put into the car business and made his first car, the Model T. Then came the Model A. He kept making cars his whole life until he died on April 7, 1947.
I loved this book because it really hooked me into the book and because it told me a lot about Henry Ford. I would recommend this to anyone just because it was a good book. My favorite character was Henry Ford because he made all sorts of inventions like my favorite car. I would give this book a ***** rating.

Granny
By Anthony Horwitz
Book Blurb by A.J.
The book Granny is about a boy named Joe and his treacherous grandma. They called her granny because grandma or grandmother did not fit, so they called her granny. Joe and his family are very wealthy and unusual. For Christmas, Joe wanted a very challenging toy robot that you build yourself from granny. But all Granny got Joe was a cheap wind up neon plastic robot in front of the entire family. Then Joe noticed that granny did this on purpose. What will Joe do now? I liked this book because it was hysterical and it had a great plot. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes funny stories with a great ending. My favorite character was Joe because he did not care if he was rich or not, he just wanted to have a normal life. I would give this book a 5 star rating.

When we did this project we finished at the last second but it turned out great. The person I worked with was michael. I liked working with him because he was funny and he is a fun person to work with. The things we worked with are a drum stick, a glass bottle and a beaded necklace. I liked this project because you get to make an awesome podcast in tech!
