Hi nat geo club members - you guys are all avid readers so wanted to ask if any of you are interested in helping us create book quizzes - write to me at editor@dogonews.com for more details

That sounds awesome! I will definitely look into it!!!

COOL!!! I will have to look into it thanks so much editor!!!

That sounds cool! I'll probably ask my parents today

That seems really cool and sounds like fun! I will definitely write you! Thanks for the opportunity! :)

I'm doing it! It's hard work but fun and rewarding!

I'm doing one for Dork Diaries book 3.

Me too! And I agree exactly, it's hard work but really fun to make! Plus it will be cool to see my work on the website! :D

What are you doing it on callie?

OHHHH NOW I GET IT cool beans and ur bean_boy ooooooh lol! --BKS

@editor: Do we already have book quizzes and I just haven't found them yet, or are you creating something new? --BKS

we need help from you our young readers to create them - if you want to be part of the dogo quizzmaker team write to me

Oh, okay! I will ask my parents and if I can they will write to you!

Hey guys, I need some help from you all! I'm getting braces and headgear soon, and if any of you have advice with how to deal with it in front of other people that would be great! --BKS

I used to have braces, and my sister even had headgear. Trust me, no one really sees your headgear ever, and braces are okay as long as you make sure to clean the food out of them. You don't have to brush your teeth after every meal, just swish around some water or mouthwash. Just continue being awesome! Soon you won't remember what it was like to not have braces!

Hahaha I hope that day comes soon! I used to not have glasses and now I do, and I can't imagine life without them. They are basically a part of me now. :) --BKS

I used to have braces. it's not uncool actually--it makes your teeth much, much neater. Only downside:it hurts!

Lol I thought it would hurt forever but now I can use my molars again! (finally) --BKS

Just be yourself! TONS of people get braes nowadays. All you have to do is make sure you keep your teeth (and braces) nice and clean

Good idea! My cousin kept the rules exactly and got them off a month early!

My dad's a dentist and he has these problems with nervous kids. My advice is just don't care what others think, and make jokes about it! For the headgear say your a cyborg with cool powers. bean_boy

Thanks bean_boy! I really like the cyborg idea because I showed my little brother a picture of headgear and said that I was getting it, and he got scared. But now he will be happy! As for the jokes part, I think I'll attack puns :) --BKS

If anyone's looking for an interesting book to read, I would recommend Out of My Mind. It's about this girl with cerebral palsy. She can't walk, she can't talk, she can't feed herself, she can't even hold a pencil. Everyone thinks her brain's messed up just like the rest of her, but she's actually a genius with a photographic memory. But since she can't tell anyone, she's stuck learning her ABC's and preschool math over and over. Then... well, I won't spoil it, but definitely try it out!

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!! It really is inspiring and just amazing! I definitely recommend it :))

I really really really like that book! It's a great lesson, an original story idea, and has an interesting plot! --BKS

ollie bob i think i will look at it and let you know how i like it

I started that book! It's AMAZING!!!
