Dear Maria the book i did not like to read was called Kaleidoscope Eyes.The author is Jen Bryant.I abandoned this book because it was not such a good mystery, i did not like it.It was not so detailed so i did not know everything about this book on what i read.I really would not recomend you to read this book.It is not creepy or action,so what is the point to read a book you are really not interested in.I did not have a favorite part.
My least favorite part was the part where they could not find a way to dig into the dirt to find the treasure without ruining anything.
Finally no i did NOT like this book.

Dear Tommy
the book I read is called "Thomas Edison The Great Inventor."It was a really good book the author is unknown.I guess it is because it's from Time for kids.Well anyways it is a really good book. It was very interesting.It teached me a lot of information on Thomas Edisons great{cool,important}inventions.
The characters are:

Thomas Edison:Inventor

Wife#1:she died.

Wife#2:She was Edison's second wife.

Edison's helpers:They helped him do the inventions{ideas}.
The setting is not really in my book. But he is in his lab,train.
The plot of my book is about a very young boy that was not so good in school.By that i mean he did not really pay so much attention in school.He would be called on and would be day dreaming and he won't know what to do.He was called "Al" until one day he said he did not want to be called Al anymore,he said he wanted to be called "Tom".He said that when he was 15 years old.He actually invented the first movie film that moved but it had no sound.He also made the first light bulb out of cotton inside a light bulb. That made the bulb light up for 13 hours{Wow that's a cool fact to know}.He died on October 18.People light up a light for one minute to remember Thomas Edison's Brilliant work.If it weren't for him we might still be using candles.
Fun Fact:He was able to make so many inventions because he was deaf so he didn't get distracted.
The conflict of my book is were he has to find something that will help him make light glow for a long time.
The resolution is the part were he finds that cotton is a good resource to make light glow for a long time.
My favorite part is the part where he makes a successful light bulb.
My least favorite part is the part where he dies.This is because it is sad to know you were successful in life but then it is you last day to live.After everything you have done.

My favorite part is the part where the war ends.
