Ghosts By Raina<br />
Telgemeier<br />
By Caileen Wilson<br />
Ghosts by Raina<br />
Telgemeier is a very good<br />
story about a girl named<br />
Catrina (Cat) and her little<br />
sister, Maya, who has Cystic<br />
Fibrosis. They end up having<br />
to move to help Maya. Then<br />
she and Cat meet a boy<br />
named Carlos who shows<br />
them ghosts. Maya then<br />
makes a mistake, causing her<br />
problem to act up. She is<br />
rushed to the hospital, and<br />
Cat blames herself and<br />
Carlos for what happened.<br />
Everything goes downhill on<br />
Halloween, and then, at<br />
midnight, during The Day of<br />
the Dead celebration in town.<br />
Rating: *****<br />
I give this book a five<br />
star rating. It is very<br />
intriguing and it took great<br />
effort not to spoil the whole<br />
story! I highly recommend it.<br />
Happy Reading!<br />

Over The Garden Wall<br />
Review<br />
By Ryan Robertson<br />
Over The Garden Wall is a TV<br />
miniseries by Patrick Mchale.<br />
It has two chapters in each<br />
episode adding up to ten<br />
chapters for the whole series.<br />
The show takes place in The<br />
Unknown, a mysterious place<br />
with weird things. Wirt and<br />
Gregory are lost in the woods<br />
trying to find their way home,<br />
along the way they meet<br />
Beatrice, the Bluejay, who<br />
tries to help them. The show<br />
has one antagonist: The<br />
Beast. A mysterious figure<br />
with long antlers and who<br />
stays in the shadows and is<br />
tracking them down. The<br />
show has a great but sad<br />
ending which is better seen<br />
than read. I highly<br />
recommend the show<br />
especially during Autumn; it<br />
has a dark and weird feel to it.<br />
Along with the story, it has<br />
one of my favorites<br />
soundtrack. The songs are<br />
inspired by folk songs. You<br />
can buy the show on ITUNES<br />
and Google Play--it might cost<br />
money, but it's worth it.<br />
I GIVE IT A 10/10!

Have you heard<br />
about daylight<br />
savings time?<br />
We went around after school and asked teachers about their favorite<br />
seasons. These are the results.<br />

On Nov. 6, 2016, daylight<br />

news--we get an extra hour of<br />

Thank you 6th grade teachers on the<br />
black team. I have learned a lot. You<br />
are the best! I’ve learned a lot from<br />
ratios, fractions, troposphere,<br />
stratosphere, and more. I want to be<br />
family for 180 days like Mrs. Mordini<br />
said. You make me happy.<br />

Armajet beta review<br />
By Devlin Maconi<br />
So recently I was searching the<br />
interwebs for new and cool games<br />
to play and I came across the<br />
website for a little game that is in<br />
closed (sort of) beta called<br />
Armajet! (Open to Apple and<br />
android users, but Apple gives<br />
limited amounts of beta entries<br />
every once in awhile so it may take<br />
longer to get in if you are using an<br />
Apple device than on android)<br />
The game has 4 different game<br />
modes to play on that are each<br />
unique in their own way: Team<br />
Deathmatch where all 8 players or<br />
a combination of players and bots<br />
in a lobby are split up into 2 teams<br />
and compete for the most kills, like<br />
in any shooter you will find, but<br />
Armajet is different from all those<br />
other mainstream FPS games like<br />
CoD or Destiny as it isn’t a First<br />
Person Shooter but a 2D arena<br />
shooter which makes the game fast<br />
paced and easy to pick up and learn.<br />
and paragon. So as you play<br />
matches in the game you get coins<br />
depending on how well you did, what<br />
medals you got, what milestones<br />
you reached, and if you ranked up<br />
or not. You can spend 1000 of<br />
those coins on a small crate or<br />
5000 of them on a clan which you<br />
and your friends will be recognised<br />
by. When you open a crate for<br />
1000 coins you have a chance to get<br />
weapon parts or badges to wear.<br />
Now while you are in the shop you<br />
will see 2 other kinds of crates<br />
that cost some weird kind of<br />
currency required to buy them.<br />
That's called paragon and you<br />
The main title screen of the game<br />
So you may be wondering... “Why<br />
are you reviewing a game that is in<br />
BETA”? Well 1. is that that it is in<br />
OPEN BETA so anyone with a<br />
decent enough phone can join and<br />
possibly play it if they are selected<br />
and 2. It is a really fun game that I<br />
would like to inform you all about<br />
because it's free to play, requires<br />
and at the moment has no in app<br />
purchases (As in buying currency<br />
with real money), is a multiplayer<br />
game that you can play with your<br />
friends, and has a growing<br />
community that makes the game<br />
even more fun to play with.<br />
NOW with all that out of the way<br />
let’s get started on the actual<br />
review shall we?<br />
So the first thing you will want to<br />
do is customize your character,<br />
suit, and badge (player icon) and<br />
get into some matches.<br />
Next up on our list is Free for all<br />
or just plain Deathmatch where all<br />
8 players or players and bots in a<br />
lobby are pit against each other to<br />
compete for the most kills which<br />
this game mode as the game itself<br />
states "complete chaos". We then<br />
move on to the game modes that<br />
are experimental, capture the flag,<br />
and shield rush, which I haven't<br />
played much of so I'll leave it up to<br />
you guys to figure out that mode.<br />
In capture the flag you... well...<br />
capture flags... Yeah. There is a lot<br />
more to this gamemode, however.<br />
You also have to manage your flag<br />
and make sure the other team<br />
doesn't capture your flag so the<br />
team is usually split into 2 people<br />
on offense trying to capture the<br />
opposing team's flag and 2 people<br />
defending your team.<br />
Now I know, I know “This review is<br />
too lengthy!!” Just stick around for<br />
a bit more, I’m almost done here!<br />
Alright next up is the shop, coins,<br />
can only get it if you let the dev's<br />
see your twitch or mobcrush<br />
livestreams of the game or youtube<br />
videos or the developers do<br />
giveaways of it. When you get new<br />
weapons, perks, and secondary<br />
weapons, you can swap them out for<br />
the defaults in the equip screen.<br />
Alright! That's it! Thanks for<br />
taking the time to read this<br />
lengthy review! Now for those who<br />
want a direct link to the game, you<br />

too! I promise they won't actually<br />
use it for anything!

MOVIE<br />
REVIEW<br />
BY JORDAN HUGHES<br />
Story: It’s pretty much about<br />
store products coming to life at<br />
night,or at least that’s what I got<br />
from the movie. The story itself is<br />
creative, but the way the movie<br />
presents it is really confusing.<br />
Animation: Look <br />
animators… just because you can do<br />
3D animation does not mean you<br />
should. I’m not even joking--the<br />
animation is just plain UGLY!!!!<br />
Voice Acting: This is probably the<br />
best part about this movie. The<br />
voice acting is not that bad...too<br />
bad the script is so terrible that<br />
the voice acting can’t even save it.<br />
In conclusion: Never watch this<br />
film. You will regret it.<br />
Spiders<br />
By Tyler Manyak<br />
"This is a seventh generation of<br />
spiders. These arthropods are<br />
unknown (for the time) for their<br />
species, but they are very active.<br />
These spiders always lay two egg<br />
sacs and both of them hatch in<br />
about two months."<br />
What are the<br />
teachers wishes for<br />
6th grade?<br />
Mr.Sweet wants his students to be<br />
able to be problem solvers in and out<br />
of math. He feels that the students<br />
can learn to solve problems<br />
anywhere any time. Mrs.Tanner<br />
wants students to be more active<br />
during hands on activities and learn<br />
to write better observations. Next<br />
time you will hear from more<br />
teachers of 6th grade...<br />
