Why the End of Summer?

If you had
to pick summer or school? What would it be?Although I like school,summer is AWESOME!!Sleeping in,going to the beach or pool,having friends over and staying up late!WHY?WHY?WHY?Does summer have to end?
Anyway, we had to read at least 2 books on the 5th grade reading list,and I wanted to try Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck.OH MY GOODNESS!!!!You MUST read this book.It is funny,cool,everything and it even takes place in the early 1900's?(I read the book a long time ago.Now I forget things)Well,15 year-old Mary alice goes to live with her CRAZY grandmother for 2 years and gets an adventure out of it.Here is one "Crazy Grandma" funny part.So,there is a very wise old guy that told Mary Alice's grandma,that she could have any pecan that fell from his pecan tree.So,because of that promise,she got a tractor and drove right into the tree and it was raining pecans!!!"He said whatever fell was mine!"Grandma said!

Another funny part:There is this bully girl in Mary Alice's school that has the dirtiest horse in town and came with to Grandma's house.Grandma said,while Mary Alice and the girl were in the kitchen,"Let me go get some jam for ya." Mary Alice noticed that Grandma wasn't going to get some jam,she was going for the girl's horse.Soon enough,Mary noticed that the girl's horse was gone!The girl had to walk home.I guess Grannys' just don't like dirty people with dirty horses in their house!!
