Hi, my name is MGN, and I like to hang out with my friends after school.  I like to read, and my favorite books are The Face on the Milk Carton, Whatever Happened to Janie?, The Voice on the Radio, and What Janie found.  My favorite authors are Caroline B. Cooney, and Margaret Peterson Haddix.         I would rather live now, in the 2000s than in the 1800s, because life now is a lot easier and there are things like computers for writing and for keeping organized.  I also like it because there are cars.  I would probably have to walk every morning to school, if there were no buses.
