    turtlenicole added a movie review.
    Tears were streaming down my eyes by the end of this movie. Mentally disabled Sam Dawson raised a daughter on his own and he named her Lucy after the song by the Beatles. As Lucy got older, she was getting more smarter than Sam. Lucy's classmates kept laughing at him and called him a retard. On Lucy's eighth birthday, Sam held a surprise birthday party for her but a kid pointed out that Lucy said she was adopted. Sam was hurt and Lucy tried to run away. Lucy later regretted what she had done and never wanted to be separated from Sam. People were starting to doubt that Sam could take care of Lucy and put her in a foster home. He found a lawyer named Rita Harrison who agreed to fight for him for free. During the court case, Sam talked about how a parent's care does is not measured by their intellectual ability. It is measured by their love for the child. He talked about how patient he is with Lucy, how he listens, and tries to support her in every way he can even though he is disabled. He worked hard to get a new job and apartment all because of her even though it was very difficult for him. He admits that he's not a perfect parent and he makes mistakes, but his love for Lucy is beyond measure.

When he got to .S.H.A.F.T. He saw a lot more people that expecting, and Carl Sagon is very scared of people. Meanwhile, he was so amazed how many people were there. When he went up to launch his rocket meanwhile he witnessed frustrastion and other bad feelings. After the rocket launch he got a email from Ancestry.com and said there was a man as that has the same name and birthday as his dad, and said he lived in LA when he asked Steve My Dad Lives in LA and we need to go there , and steve said your in luck im going to LA today. Awesome when he arrived at the address he came across a relative he never knew he had and Alex suffers from losing a dog and his mum has schizophrenia. I recomend this book to 10-18 years because there is problems in the book and real life situations. Book By: Jack Cheng (Updated about less than a minute ago)

    If I had to choose one word to describe this book, it would be: AWESOME! Hit rewind-- flashback time! The great-great-great grandfather of present day Stanley is chasing after a girl. Not just any girl, but the most beautiful girl in town. But someone else also wants to marry her- an old 60-year-old farmer! The only way to get her hand in marriage is to bring her father the largest, fattest pig. Not having something to bring, young Stanley goes to Madame Zeroni, who gives him directions to climb the mountain, and have a pig drink water from the river, while singing a special song. On the last day, he should bring Madame Zeroni up the mountain and have her drink while he sings the song. If he doesn't fulfill this, his whole family will be cursed. Stanley never carried Madame Zeroni up the mountain. Is the curse real? OK, fast-forward to now: Present-day Stanley Yelnats is an average boy, until one day fate hits him in the head. No, literally, it hit him in the head!😂 A pair of valuable sneakers fall out of the sky as Stanley is walking home from a hard day at school and the police believes Stanley stole them! He has a choice for punishment once he arrives in court: he can either go to jail, or go to Camp Greenlake. Easy decision, right? Camp Greenlake, of course! But Stanley soon figures out that this camp doesn't even have a lake! It's been long dried up. Every day at this camp Stanley must dig a 5 by 5 hole in the hard, crusty, desert ground. Not much better than jail! One boy nicknamed Zero asks Stanley to help him learn to read and write in exchange for help shoveling his hole. After Zero runs away, Stanley runs after him-- but they have no water. Can they survive, and will the curse finally be broken? And what are the holes kids have been forced to dig really for? This book was so good! The plotline flowed together, and I was hanging on the edge of my seat to read more! The story itself is brilliant, I would have never thought of it myself! 5/5❤
