Hi guys! I’m a YouTuber and my name’s Holly. This week, I am doing a skit on getting stranded on an island. Let me give you more of a background to the story. The story line is that I was on a ship and it sunk!  I don’t know what happened to everyone else, but I swam to an island and now I am stranded with only three things in my backpack: a knife, a fire starter, and a water filter.

Now I will tell you why I brought each thing. The first thing I brought was a knife I brought this to cut things like fruit and vines. It can also be used  to stab fish. The next thing I brought is a fire starter. I brought this so I can cook fish, have boiling water, stay warm, and so the mosquitoes won’t come. The last thing I brought is a  water filtering device. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a device that turns sea water into drinking water. I brought this so I can have fresh water without worrying about getting sick.  I sure am glad I brought my back pack today.

I sure am glad you watched today’s video! I hope to see you next time! Make sure to subscribe and like this video. Bye!

I just finished the book Witches. This was a great book by Roald Dahl. I love this book because there is so much detail. I recommend this book for readers that like make-believe.

To compare the movie with the book, they are very similar. For instance, the details are the same both in the movie and the book.

I really enjoyed this book and recommend this book for all ages over 8 because there are some big words.

One day in spring, a girl named Sarah was walking on the sidewalk and saw a giant’s hand holding a tree. She couldn’t even believe her eyes, so she blinked twice but she still saw it, Sarah started walking fast, then she started running, then she started sprinting to her house.

She thought maybe since it was Earth day, the giants were waking up. Sarah asked her friend Gia to come and see this. Gia came over to look at it. Sarah showed her but the hand was gone, and the tree was also gone. Sarah knew the hand had been here. She was certain of it,

One year later, on Earth day, she saw another giant’s hand. This time, she didn’t bother telling Gia, but she did still have a playdate with her, When she got to Gia’s house Gia said, “Be quiet! My parents are sleeping.” I thought to myself, “Why are her parents always sleeping? Why can we never play in her house? We always have to play in her backyard and I’ve always wondered why she has a picture of a baby giant in her backyard.” I asked Gia, “Why can we never play in your house?” Gia responded, “well, if you want to know the truth, my parents are always asleep until Earth day.” That made me really think, is Gia a giant? What do you think?

Can you believe Luke gets turned into a mouse next? After the witches meeting, one of the witches smells something like a child. Then all the witches smell it. Then they search for the child. Do you know who that child is? its Luke! Luke felt like a ballon getting squeezed from the top. Then before he new it he had hair growing out of his skin. Then he was a mouse. When I stopped reading, Luke was talking to his grandmother about how to find an important potion.

This week in Witches, Luke gets to the grand hotel.He finds that the grand high witch is there and all the other witches. One day, Luke trains his mice in a big auditorium and lots of women start going in including the woman he thinks is the grand high witch. The grand high witch starts saying, “You may remove your gloves.You may remove your wigs and shoes.” Luke now knows these are all witches. The grand high witch starts talking about formula 86 delayed mouse maker and how the witches can turn kids into mice by giving them one drop of it. Luke hears all of it, then a boy walks in and said,” Do you have chocolate?” The witch said, “Yes,” but instead of chocolate she gives him the drop off the mouse maker and he turns him into a mouse.

That’s all I read for this week.
