Blog One: October 5, 2011 Hey everyone, its Chelsea Webb :) I have chosen to read __All We Know of Heaven__ by Jacquelyn Mitchard. I found this novel in the library at Boone High School. I chose this book because the summary on the inside sounded interesting to me. I like to read mysterys and it sounds like it will be a really good one. I haven't had time to read it yet.

Blog Two: October 8, 2011 This week I read sixteen pages in __All We Know of Heaven.__ In the first chapter Mitchard talks about the two main characters, Bridget and Maureen. They are two best friends that do everything together but have two completely different lives. Bridget is the more outgoing and popular kind of person and Maureen is shy. Mitchard describes that they can make it through anything and are always there for eachother. The chapter ends with them leaving for a cheer competition in the middle of winter. I like this book so far and have a feeling something big is going to happen. I'm really excited to keep reading.

Blog Three: October 15, 2011 I did not have time to read __All We Know of Heaven__ this week because of homecoming activities. I went to the home volleyball game Tuesday. I had dance Tuesday and Wednesday. On Monday and Thursday I had to babysit my brothers. Friday was the big Homecoming Football game.

Blog Four: October 22 I do not have a favorite line from my book so far. This week I read about Bridget and Maureens big car crash. It was really crazy. I can't wait to keep reading.

Blog Five: October 29 I didn't have time to read this week. I got sick and had a lot of other homework from spanish and geometry. I will try and read more next week.

Blog Eight: November 19 Sorry I have missed the last two weeks of blogging. I have been super busy. I found some time to read this week though. I got to page 90. A lot of crazy things are happening in the book right now and what I've read so far. Maureen died from the car crash and Bridget was in intensive care for two months while she was in a comma. Their car crash is effecting everyone in town. Over about 400 people showed up to Maureen's funeral. After Bridget woke up from her comma the doctors said that she was gonna be a totally changed person. She is going to have to start all over with learning easy things like walking, talking, and learning who everyone is again. On her third day of being awake a dentist came in to check out Bridget's teeth and realized that his papers didn't match up with her teeth. So he got out Maureens papers and it turns out Bridget really died and Maureen is alive! This really surprised me! Because now there is going to be even more troubles with telling everyone what they just figured out. I can't wait to read how everyone reacts about it. Especially Bridgets boyfriend that has stayed with Maureen in the hospital every night. I can not put this book down!

Blog Nine: December 4 FINAL BLOG Have you ever lost something close to you? Do you know a mom who has had to go through the lose of a daughter? The pain they have to go through is unberriable. In the book __All We Know of Heaven__ by Jacquelyn Mitchard, two mothers suffer over one death in a tragic mix-up. The book starts off with two best friends, Bridget Flannery and Maureen O'Malley. Just like any other pair of best friends, they're attached at the hip. People in their town thought they spent so much time together growing up that they grew into twins, by how similar they look. The book takes a horrible turn two nights before Christmas when the best friends get in a car accident with a semi-truck. Unfortunetly the perimedics were only able to save one, Bridget. Or so they thought. The whole town goes into shock over Maureens death while Bridget is fighting to get out of a comma. Four months later, Bridget's boyfriend Danny sees her open her eyes for the first time again. But something didn't seem right. Bridget's teeth didn't match up with her dentist papers. The doctors screwed up ,and the girl that actually survived was Maureen. Just when things were starting to settle down the town goes through another death. Their story turns into the talk of the whole world. While the O'Malley family is celebrating, the Flannerys are going crazy over the death of Bridget. Maureen starts to date Danny and the book explains all of her struggles from being asleep for four months. She gets put back a year in school and goes through a rocky relationship with Danny. Maureen O'Malley is the main character in this book and definitely my favorite. She becomes handi-capped after her comma and goes through a lot of physical therapy to become a normal person again. I love how the book explained her struggles. How hard it was for her to remember her own dad, or walk with her right foot. She gets very frustrated with her disability, but toughs it out and makes a speedy recovery in one year. Danny is her insperation. He doesn't care what people say about him dating a handi-capped girl and they fall in love. They start to drift apart until the end when they see eachother again for the first time in months. Maureen is care-free, very strong, and hard headed. I love her character in this book. I would give this book five stars out of five. Its one that you can not put down. __All We Know of Heaven__ is a tragic car crash and great love story all mixed in one. I would recomend it for teenage girls.
