I am very happy because I have graduated from the Magic Tree House series and Mrs. W thinks that I should read something higher. My brother has been reading The Series of Unfortunate Events and has been telling me how interesting it is. So I picked this series. I did not pick Harry Potter because I think it will be too hard for me.
When I turned in this reading log, Mrs. W was shocked and asked me, "SP, when did you start reading Lemony Snicket?" The whole class was staring at me.
Well, back to my reading log...
