@koreanbacongirl and @ollibob! Here is a riddle! A boy woke up in a room with no doors. There was no windows, only a mirror and a wooden table. How does he get out? (Word tricks) He looks into the mirror, sees what he saw, takes the saw, cuts the table in half, two halves make a whole, and he crawls out the hole out of the room!

Oh! thats a good one! I thought it was like a tricky question, never ever thought that it would be a word question! That's a smart one!

Hi Bookstory13 I am super impressed by your movie and book reviews - would you be interested in becoming an advance reviewer for dogo? If so ask a parent to e-mail me at editor@dogonews.com so I can explain the details - Keep up the great work!

Actually, I don't know exactly what an "advanced reviewer" is on iDOGO. I assumed it was the people who write the reviews right underneath the book. I have been looking at some of the reviews for books (like the official reviews) and comparing them to mine. I use a lot of parenthesis and I put an opinion into it. Would I need to learn to make the official ones with less personality or would I continue to write how I write and then someone would just correct them?

Thanks, but I think I'd like to stay a regular reviewer for now! I'm going to be gone for the summer, so I wouldn't be able to review then. Also, I am only a 7th grader. I feel like it is a really important job, and I haven't even had a job in real life yet! I'll talk to you if my parents say yes.

Oh my cousin taught me that one! Nice one, @bookstory13
