The best part about fourth grade was getting two great teachers. They gave us fun projects to do like the Invention Convention. I missed the actual Invention Convention presentation day because I was fishing with my Dad and my sister Hope at Cripple Creek. I still got to present it to the whole 4th grade and Mrs.Estes. My favorite project was when I made the island from the story Call It Courage. It was my favorite project because I got to use play doh and make the sea and the volcano. Another thing that the teachers gave us was amazing books like Ben And Me. Ben And Me was my favorite book because the characters in the book are really funny. I am glad it is summer break but I will miss my friends and teachers.

The next chapter is chapter 13 and this is what happened… The next day, Moxy and her friends were getting ready for the contest and out of no where they see Ox and a kitty doll. They come out and the Kitty says I captured Ox. Moxy said to Ox I told you the Big World was real. Ox said yeah in a weird way and then Moxy started to ask him what was wrong. He said I knew the Big World was real because I’ve been here before. Moxy gasped and she said you lied to me and she started to cry. Ox said the truth was I have been here before and Lou was actually my best friend. I was going to try to run in the contest but the buzzer was beeping and said fail so they threw me into a garbage truck. I created Uglyville since I was really ugly said Ox. Moxy started to cry more and she ran away. Ever since that happened, Uglyville was never the same.

That’s as far as I have read. I hope to watch the movie when I am done reading the book.

They finally found their way out of the pipe. Once they got out of the pipe, they walked a little bit and then they saw a gate and a sign that said “Institute Of Perfection”. They walked in and they saw a lot of pretty dolls and a screen with videos of children getting perfect and pretty dolls. That made Moxy tear up because she really wanted a child. There was a little scanner to let dolls in so Moxy and a few of the other ugly dolls went in the scanner. When Moxy went in the scanner, it broke because she was so ugly. All of the other dolls were staring at her and her friends. Then a boy named Lou who knows all about perfection and fashion walked in and he made fun of the ugly dolls. Moxy didn’t like it so she and her friends joined the contest so they had to learn how to be pretty and to prove the guy wrong.

So now Moxy is leaving town. She is trying to gather people to come with her but right when she was trying to get people, Lucky Bat secretly told people not to go so they listened to him. Moxy, Ugly Dog, and BaBo were the only ones who went because Ugly Dog always follows her and BaBo only went so she would not be sad. After they left, on the way to the Big World, they saw a big pipe. Moxy thinks it leads to the Big World so now she is making them go into it even thought it is going to be hard to fit in. Before they go in, they see there friend Wage. They ask Wage if he wanted to go but he said no because he didn’t want to get dirty.
