Hello!  Welcome back to my blog!  Today I’m gonna talk about my grandfather, Barry McCracken!  Well, I call him Papa.  Today is his 71st birthday!  And his gift is a whole blog dedicated to him!  Papa and I are like the same person.  We both love reading.  We always cuddle up together and read our books.  Papa is up until 12:00 reading every night while I stop at 8:30.  We also love getting up early.  Luckily, I stopped getting up early and now I get up at 8:00.  But Papa on the other hand gets up at 4:00 a.m!  I don’t know how Papa drinks at least 10 cups of coffee every day and not get hyper.  In fact, he seems somehow calmer.  Papa is not human.  I’m gonna call him Captain Coffee!  I love Papa so much, and I am so excited for him to come next weekend!  There’s another birthday next weekend, but you’ll have to guess who it is.  And now, it’s time for Papa’s favorite part of my blog, my weekly book review!  The book I shall be reviewing is Harriet the Spy.  This book is about a young girl who wants to be a spy and writes everything down in her several notebooks.  However, when she loses her notebook, it ends up in the wrong hands.  When her friends see everything she wrote about them, they get furious with her.  Can Harriet mend her friendship?  On a scale of 1 to 10, it’s a 10!  I love the way she observes everything around her and how Harriet kind of bosses everybody around.  Thank you so much for reading my blog!  I love you Papa!  Good-bye!
