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

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

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

Thank you 6th grade teachers on

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

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

jet/​ Sign up with your full name,
too! I promise they won't actually
use it for anything!

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