Golden Corral is a great place to go for a family day. Like say if your other family came down from Roswell, they probably would want to visit your family plus you too. Then that would be a good place to go for a big family (like mine!) Golden Corral even has an ice cream place where you can get ice cream but you probably already know that.
Their prices are really good, not too expensive and not too cheap but just right. They have fresh food like salads, honey bread, tuna, pizza, hamburgers, and even pasta. They have a Golden Corral here in Las Cruces and one in El Paso and one in Albuquerque. Their food is really good. But the food that is the most gross is the beef pasta. I don't know, I just don't like that beef pasta. What I like is the vegetables. They are really good.

Cirque Du Freak
by Kevin Benda
This book is about two best freinds, Darren and Steve. Steve finds a flyer for a show called Cirque de Freak. Steve buys the tickets for him and Darren. Both of the boys get to this old building. Darren isnt sure he wants to go into the building. Steve finally convinces Darren that it is safe, but when they get into the building they start walking to the light, they bump into a big, tall, ugly man. His name is Mr Tall and he is part of the freak show. He is the tallest man in the world. The boys are lucky because Mr Tall is the host for this event. Mr Tall gave Steve and Darron the best seats in the house.
When the show starts they brought out the first act. The wolf man! After the wolfmans act was over they brought out a vampire named Mr. Crepsley and his pet spider, Madam Octa. Steve already knows what Mr.Crepsley is. Darren doesn't seem to notice because he is hypotized by the spider. When the show was over Steve tells Darren to go on without him. When Steve walks back into the room, Darren goes to the balcony to spy on him. Darren was shocked to see what happend. I would reccomend this book.

A Long Way Gone: A Book Review
by Carlos Vasquez
A Long Way Gone is a book written by Ishael Beah. The book tells about his life in Sierra Leone, in Africa. I give this book 5 stars.
This book is about an ex-child soldier. A Long Way Gone first tells how civil war affected Ishmael's life when he was only 12 years old. His life was in peril because for five years he was in danger of dying from beheading or being shot in the head. The only family with him when war came to his town was his older brother. All his family was killed when the soldiers came; Ismael and his brother ran and hid from the soldiers. The other 12 year old boys were not trusted in the villages so Ismael and his brother and friends traveled through the country from dawn straight to dusk. They were under constant threat of being recruited into the army.
Later on, Ismael is recruited into the army. He still was only 12 years old. He doesn't feel remorse about killing other families. In the end, he has a total life-changing experience and learns to forgive himself for what he did.
I would highly recommend this book for eighth graders or higher. Ishmael Beah has a brilliant way of writing; he gives you the feeling of being there so you can experience what happened to him and his friends. I wouldn't recommend this for younger kids because it has violence and it is kind of disturbing.
