A smelly boy,a big adventure, and some enormous cockroaches!

I am reading Measle and the Wrathmonk by Ian Ogilvy. I think Basil is a wrathmonk. There are three different types of sorcerers a wizard, warlock and wrathmonk. A wrathmonk is simply a warlock gone mad, their magic is invincible and they are evil. Basil has a temper which is ignited often, because he only has a dark side and the evil comes pouring out. I think Measle is going to get into major trouble because he was playing with a train set and he made the two trains crash into each other. Basil, Measles legal guardian, started breathing hard and Measle shrank and now he is stuck on the train set.

When I was reading I had trouble with the word hardy, my mom told me it meant strong and healthy. When some one says a plant is hearty they are saying that it is strong and healthy.

Overall the main events were the plastic man (he really is a man but Basil shrank him and the donut crumbs and the lemonade drops turned him into plastic) said ''nuff ont eat onut ont eat remonade'' which means do no eat donut do not eat lemonade. The crumbs made him plastic so he can't move his mouth, that is why he is talking so strange. Measle gave the man some carrots that he had taken from the refrigerator now the man can move and they rescued the four other people and one dog. The rescued people are Proudince, Kip, Frank, Lady Grant, Kitty, William and Tiker the dog.

  1. Sean,

    You are adding in a lot of great details to strengthen your summary, but I am not seeing the questioning that is happening when you are reading. Summaries do show you're thinking, buy questions show it even more!
