Hedley Hopkins, Paul Jennings,**

This book is about a boy named Hedley Hopkins who moved from England to Australia. He didn't have much friends because everybody called him a pommie. They called him that because he came from England. Hedley wanted to be part of a group in school but you had to do a dare to get in that group. His dare was to rob a grave. While robbing a grave he made 2 new friends and 1 is only in his imagination.

I like this book because it has a lot of adventure. The title is very interesting because it tells the whole story but without the details. This book had a few things I didn't like but it's still a great book. I would recommend this book to some people only.

Typhoon Morakot-Taiwan

This picture shows a house falling of the road and into the water in Taiwan. Taiwan get these typhoons and we don't because we are near the equator and Taiwan isn't near the equator. We are lucky to be near the equator. The water is very powerful so when it hit the house the house just fell sooo easily because of the pressure of the water. This shows that people don't really effct the enviroment that much.
