Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
By Jules Verne
In my book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that Proffessor Aronnax, Ned Land and Conseil wil devise a plan to escape Captain Nemo's Nautilus submarine. Because I doubt that the author would make the entire book about the 3 people trapped in the Nautilus. The book would be very interesting if Professor Aronnax and the other two, were to capture Captain Nemo. They could commit mutiny and take control of the ship and head for land. I think that they will encounter a sea monster or giant shark that will almost kill them during their journey.

The Red Kayak
By Priscilla Cummings
In my book Red Kayak, by Priscilla Cummings, one prediction I can make about what will happen next if hard with this book because something that I want to happen might be different because of the way Brady is feeling. It was late in the morning when Brady’s father arrives at school to get Brady. It wasn’t Mr. D’Angelo in the kayak that morning. It was Mrs. D’Angelo and their son Ben taking the kayak out and now they were missing. Brady’s father pulled him out of school to search the channel for them. Brady had a boat and knew the water. He went one direction and his father went the other. Mrs. D’Angelo was found. She was alive. Ben on the other hand was still to be found. Brady had his dog Tilly with him. It was pouring and they were soaked. Then Tilly began to bark and as Brady went closer he found Ben. His lifeless body still in his life jacket was caught on a jagged piece of wood piling. Brady unhooked him and called his father on his cell phone. Ben did not look well. Brady didn’t know what to do. He began CPR and tried to drive his boat. He got to the dock and Ben was taken by a waiting ambulance to the hospital. Ben does not survive and Brady is now called a hero. This is where my prediction comes in. For some reason I don’t think Brady will feel like a hero because I feel something is really bothering him and I predict the true story is about to come out.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Ann Brashares
In my book The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares one prediction I can make about what will happen next is Bridget and Eric will start going out with each other. Bridget is very interested in Eric. Although, relationships between campers and coaches are not allowed, Bridget finds herself falling for Eric more and more. Bridget does what ever she can for Eric to notice her. She only focuses of looking good for him. Whether it was dancing with him at parties, or showing off while having a scrimmage at practice. Because of Bridget’s aggression during the scrimmage her coach had to sit her out of the game. The two of them occasionally go for jogs together, because they are both very active. I am able to see that Bridget is falling for Eric and she hardly even knows him.

For One More Day
Mitch Albom
In my book "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom, one prediction I can make about what happens next is Rose will die. Rose is an old black lady, friends with Charley's mom. She is brittle and her bones weak. In the scene im reading currently, Rose comes over to get her hair cut by Charley's mom. She'd always cut her friends hair for special occasions. But what special occasion could she be having? Well, I think she’s getting fancied up to go to heaven. The last friend that had her hair cut said she had a date with her husband. And later in the story, Charley's mom tells Charley how her husband is dead. Maybe this will be Rose's faith alike many other elders. To meet her loved ones who have passed in heaven

The Lovely Bones
By: Alice Seabold
In my book The Lovely Bones, by Alice Seabold, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is Mr. Harvey will be convicted of murder, because the author continues to explain to the reader that the neighbors are suspecting his guilt. Before the neighbors started asking questions, Susie Salmon’s dad went over to Mr. Harvey’s house to put up the bridal tent. He suspected some abnormal behavior from him. Although both men were friends before Susie’s death, an opinion can easily change after suspicion. Maybe after the scene where Mr. Harvey and Mr. Salmon are together, the author portrays that Mr. Salmon knows what Mr. Harvey did and he will find the correct punishment for him. I also believe that the author wouldn’t write about a horrifying murder in a small quiet town and then not let the reader know that the murderer was still on the loose. Susie starts to finally find an equal in her heaven. Where she can start to forgive what has happened to her. Her family on earth may still be mourning, and even fall apart, but there has to be an ending where they get what they deserve.

Splinter Cell "Check Mate"
By David Michaels
In My book Splinter Cell " Check Mate", by David Michaels, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that the Trego is only a distraction, because if there is only one man controlling this big ship with radiation waves sky rocketing, that must mean that it is a set up. It might be a cover up to something ten yimes worse. that is why Sam goes to the dock were the ship is being held, because Sam only had a few minutes to investigate the ship the first time (because of it's radiation threat they wwere going to blow it up with a set of F-16). I'm not exactly sure though what the Trego could be covering up. Mabey they sent the Trego to sail to virginia when they really could be striking somewhere else. All I know is it is going to be a long day for Sam regardless what happens. There is definitely more to the Trego, there has to be a bigger plot, and I think the Trego was just the first move in a long Chess Match.

Enders Shadow
Orson Scott Card
In my book Enders Shadow, by Orson Scott Card, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is, Ender will not be allowed to return to Earth because he won the war with the Buggers. Ender is the master mind behind the entire Bugger war. He was the strategist who was able to maneuver Earths army through the unreachable Buggers defense. The fact that Ender is the main figure in the war obviously makes him a target for countries down on Earth who all want him to fight for their side. I can also make this assumption because Bean was the one who figured out that there would be an Earthly battle after the Bugger war. Bean and Ender are in a way, best friends. Bean however is aloud to return to Earth whereas Ender is shipped off to a distant planet where he will start a new world. I am positive in my prediction because I already read the prequel to Enders Shadow, Enders Game. I also know that Ender is reunited with his sister and Bean is no longer apart of the Ender series.

The Last Book in the Universe
By Rodman Philbrick
In my book The Last Book in the Universe, by Rodman Philbrick, on prediction I can make about what will happen next is that bean will die because she is in coma and there is no way to get her out. Also they don't have anything or machines to help or keep her alive but no matter spaz still has hope no matter what. They have no idea what to do and all they have is a person that is a spiritual healer. I think that there only choice is to go to Eden and hope that they will accept them and heal the baby, bean. They also might take her to the primary laboratories that fix proovs and they might know what to do. I highly doubt that they will because they are not familiar to curing sickness in a world that only fends for them selves. They might be able to search for cures for it though because they are the only ones who have the technology. Even if there is a cure they might not have the resources to get it. That is why I think bean will die.

Brannigan
In my book, Open Ice, by Pat Hughes I predict that Nick's team will lose the championship to the Dragons. I think this will happen because Nick as you already know is a key player in every part of his team. They will need him to win. But they won't be able to have the bless. The doctor has forbid him of playing for another month which is horrible. I also predict that he will have to under go major trainning to get his body back in shape and ready to play. I think that if he takes a chance or risk he will never play again.

Tuesday's With Morrie
by Mitch Albom
In my book Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom one prediction I can make about what will happen next is Mitch will finally get the guts to get out of the car and visit Morrie. Mitch seems like the type of guy who can’t show his feelings. I can tell that he really wants to visit Morrie and be back in his life because if he didn’t care he wouldn’t have gone to visit him in the first place. Even though Mitch is pretending that he isn’t there, he really does want to go inside. He made an effort by taking a plane to visit him, so he deserves to get the courage to see Morrie. Although Mitch is a hard working and very work involved man, I believe that he will try to make changes because Morrie seems like a person who inspires people. I predict that Morrie will spot Mitch and encourage him that not to be afraid. Also, I believe that he will teach him that being ill shouldn’t scare away people it should make them closer together. I think that everybody is going to have a Morrie in their life that inspires them to do more for the better. In addition, Morrie was obviously an influence on many people and I expect that Morrie will expect many visits.

Impulse
By Ellen Hopkins
In my book Impulse, by Ellen Hopkins, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that Connor will be released from juvenile. I think that because he has been on his best behavior. He has to go through certain stages in order to leave. But he fell in love with one girl, Vanessa, that he met there. The girl he likes is way behind on the stages. I think that Connor will start to act bad in order to stay so that he doesn’t leave. the girl that he likes him back. I think that she will do anything to keep him with her. Is she really worth getting in trouble for? Is he making the right decision? Is she more important than his family that he has not seen in 3 months? I’m pretty sure he’ll stay with her. Vanessa is the best thing that has happened to him a long time.

In my book Anne Of Green Gables, by L.M. Montgomery, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that Mrs. Rachels and her husband will not send Anne back to the orphanage. I don’t think they will do this because she was so excited to be living in such a beautiful place. I don’t think they would be able to tell her that she ahs to go back. That would just be cruel and Mrs. Rachels would simply not do it.

Through the Darkness
By: Harry Turtledove
In my book Through the Darkness, by Harry Turtledove, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that the Kuusamans will learn how to use their new found magic and help with the war against Algarve. With the help of the Kuusamans, the Unkerlanters will be able to start pushing Algarve out of their kingdom and maybe be able to take some of their territory. I think this is a good prediction because the Algarvians are running out of men, therefore they have to bring in their weak ally the Yaninans. The Yaninans are known for the inability to fight and now the Unkerlaters are getting excited because now they have a chance. If the Algarvians manage to break through to Sulingen then they might have a chance to beat the Unkerlaters once and for all. Another reason I can make this prediction is that the name of the book in Through the Darkness, I think that means that the war against Algarve is going be more successful for the other countries.

The Miracle of St.Anthony
Adrian Wojnarowski
In my book The Miracle of St. Anthony, by Adrian Wojnarowski, one prediction I can make about what will happen is that the book will be about a high school basketball team. I haven't started the book yet but i can predict it will be about a outstanding basketball team. The coach is Bob Hurley who i know son. He was a point guard who had played basketball at Duke. I am predicting this team will be an excellent team with the coaching of Hurley. I am guessing they have been good for awhile because on the front cover it says the dynasty on the team. I think it will show the intensity of high school basketball at St. Anthony's.

Goal 2 Living the Dream
By: Robert Rigby
In my book Goal 2 living the dream, by Robert Rigby one prediction I can make about what will happen next is, Santiago will play out his career and be well known throughout the world and eventually meet what he has left in his family. I think this because Santiago finally made it to one of the biggest teams in Europe and is becoming well known with his fantastic teammates. I also think he will get to confident in himself and make a mistake because as his career has progressed he has been getting showier. I think he will meet his family because he will pay for their tickets to come to Europe. Unlike before and I feel they will enjoy Santiago’s life and want to stay because they are not used to nice things. They usually live in a brick small house now they are in 5 star hotels treated like royalty in the company of their son Santiago. I think Santiago will get too showy because at first he was shy on his all star team now he is the captain and he has an attitude of I can take on the world and sometimes it gets into his head. When Santiago gets showy he tries to beat to many people instead of passing and messes up like his first ever Newcastle game. Santiago should just play like a good man with occasional skill because when he gets carried away no one likes him. He does play for the largest and most famous team in the soccer world so it’s pretty intense when he messes up the world actually really is on his shoulders. This is what I predict for Santiago Munez.

Trigger
By Susan Vaught
In my book Trigger, by Susan Vaught one prediction I can make is that Jersey and Todd will eventually become friends. Jersey has a close connection with Todds sister and his grandmother, whom he sees often. They both know that Todd and Jersey were young when they fought, and that the fight was over something completly immature. Todd thought that Jersey was trying to steal a girl from him, when he really wasn't and he let jealousy take over him. That caused Todd to take out his anger on Jersey, not knowing how to deal with being hurt. Then Jersey tried commiting suidice but failed and I think that made Todd think twice about trusting Jersey, since that was a stupid desicion. I think that deep down, Todd feels some sympothy for Jersey, but just doesn't like showing his own emotions. Nobody will talk to Jersey, but Todds grandmother and sister, who can show their sympothy and compassion. Maybe soon enough Todd can learn from his sister that Jersey is just looking for answers since his memory is gone, and he really wants to know what happened to their friendship.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
By J.K. Rowling
Nick Goldkranz
In the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling, Harry had just awaking from his sleep with the scar on his head throbbing in pain. The last time that this had occured to Harry was when Lord Voldemort was close by. For my prediction about this I believe that Lord Voldemort is plotting to hurt or kill harry (which he had explained). My real prediction on this is that I think that Harry will seek out help from his friends. He will ask his two best friends for help and they probaly wont take it as serouisly or not serious enough as Harry would like. I also believe that Harry will have to ask Dumbledore for his advice. I think he will becuase Harry will not know what to do and Dumbledore is his "master" in a sense and has the most knowledge on anything.

In my book HomeBoyz, by Alan Laerence Sitomer one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that teddy is going to fight back and kill that people in the gang that killed his little sister.

Pirates of the Caribbean:Dead Mans Chest
In my book Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that Jack will fight the kraken and try to see if he can survive. I do not believe that in any Jack will be able to defeat the Kraken and survive. I don't believe this because the Kraken is so massive that there is no way he could kill it with just a sword. I don't understand why Elizabeth handcuffed Jack to the sail in the first place. Why would she want someone she cared about to die. What will William and the rest of the crew think about Elizabeth after this situation. I don't believe that Jack is going to remain dead for long because how would they make a third Piarates of the Carribean without Captain Jack Sparrow. If Jack does survive then I think that he wil never think the same about Elizabeth and might take some kind of revenge. This is what I believe will happen next.
In my book Pretty Little Liars, by Sara Shephard, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is that the workers will find Ali's body, because cop cars are all at her old house. Her friends suspect something happened to the new girl living there. The new girl is fine and the police are searching in the backyard. The workers are digging a new pool and they come across bones. The police test them and discover that they are Alison's bones. Now the mystery is who killed her.

jack falla
In my book Saved, by jack Falla, one prediction I can make about what will happen next is his girlfriend will dump him like the rest, because… all he does is talk about his car. Girls don’t want to hear about his car and his hockey career. So I think this girl will dump him like the rest except for one, Lisa who died 2 years ago from small cell lung cancer. I hope this guy can either stop talking about hockey or at least wins a Stanley cup.
