BOOK NAME: Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank You Notes
AUTHOR: Peggy Gifford and Valorie Fisher
This is a funny book. I enjoyed it so much that I read it in one sitting. It doesn't really say, but I think Moxy is about my age and in 6th or 7th grade. And the story in the book covers all the funny things that she does to get out of having to write thank you notes for the Christmas presents she has received.
The problem is that she hates writing thank you notes! She could just refuse to write the notes, but she is promised a very cool reward if she gets the notes written in one day. Plus, her mom insists that she do them before she gets her reward. The reward is that her dad has promised to take her to a big, fancy, Hollywood movie premiere. She might even get to be on TV. But her mom has told she won't be able to go unless her thank you notes are done.
Moxy tries all sorts of short cuts to get her thank you notes done. Most of them don't work out very well. First, she thought she would write a single note and run it through the copy machine. That failed because they ended up making thousands of copies instead the 12 she needed. Next she tried to make them look fancy by using gold spray paint. She ended up painting a "T" on her friends clothes and "hank you" on the wall of her room. She got in pretty big trouble for that!
The book has some cool illustrations that really make the book fun to read. You'll have to read the book to see if she ever makes it to the movie premiere.

you did a really good job
This book sounds sort of funny. I might read it! :)
I'd like to read that!
Nice review. I like it that you told enough about the book to make people want to read it without giving away the ending.
That seems like a really funny and cool book! I'll have to check that one out!
Hey, there's another book called Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little. That one was pretty good, so maybe I'll read this one, too.
This book reminds me of the Allie Finkle series a bucketfull! I love those books that are sooooo` good that you can't put it down and you have to finish it before you move a muscle.I think all readers like them. butr its always nice to have books that are soooo long you have to spend like a week on them
Said, right now I'm reading Tunnels, it is 472 pages long. I am able to only read 75 pages each day but it is hard (I need to save time to read my other books). If you read 67 pages each day it would last for a week.
These are some good books. I'll list them by title, author (last,first or if I can remember them), genre,age group(this is what I think), then why its good/comments.
Girl of Kosovo, Mead,Alice realistic ficton, 7-13 I like this book because it is about peoples hard life compared to other peoples care free lives.
Inkheart Funke,Cornelia Fantasy 7-16
Inkspell Funke,Cornelia Fantasy 7-16
Inkdeath Funke,Cornelia Fantasy 8-18
They're adventurous,a man can read out of books but something has to go in.
I'll post more on other blogs.
