Soon Jason gets a letter to appear on a game show called Slime Wars. Every team has three boys and three girls. It is a question and answer game so they study together so no one ends up in a slime pit at the end of a slide. I would recommend this book to kids who like gross, slimy stuff. 5 out of 5 stars.

So most of the people got arrested for no reason, except Prince John was too greedy.The sheriff went into the church, and there was a box that said "Help the Poor."

They divided it between themselves and the other people.

JP, Millville		Sleeping Beauty by Disney. I picked Disney's Sleeping Beauty because I wanted to read about Aurora. Aurora means "Dawn".

You must read this story to find the happy ending.
