  12. The most thing that you want to include in a summary is the title, the author, what you have been reading, and the page number. Also you might want to include is if you like the book, and what it is about.

  23. Dear Mrs.french,
    My book is called Mummies Don't Coach Softball by Debie Dadey and Marcia Thorton Jones.It is about how there coach is out and they have a subsatoot and the kids think he is a mummy.I do not think so because there is no such thing.My favorite character is Eddie because he reminds me of my brother.I think this is a good book because it has lots of detail.Finally,they never really told you the answer at the end but I still think he is not a mummy.
