I finally know what I wanna do with my life. Animating will be demoted to a hobby, and I will go to law school to become a lawyer, then a judge, then a Supreme Court Justice to make the courtroom a better place for all races. But I will be an author in the mean time. (I like typing stories on Microsoft Word.)
crazber crazber

My mom is in lawschool , actually.

Hello everyone! I have a book recommendation for you all. I just read Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T Squad and it was good. I am in middle school and an advanced reader, so this was an easy read but the story concept was very well put together and the illustrations are beautiful. I recommend you check it out. Have a good day!
bookfan2009 bookfan2009

Thanks, I got that book from a giveway, but never actually read it. But I'll definitely read it now that you mentioned it!
galaxyninja galaxyninja

I will try that I am in 4th grade an also an advanced reader do you think it would be a good level
crazber crazber

I am an advanced reader in 4th grade too! I’m 99th percentile. How about you?

Hi! I think that would be perfect- it may be a little easy, but I'd give it a try!
