Main Characters name is Tinh and his little sister Lan. Title is The Buddha's Diamonds Auther is Carolyn Marsden *About Me-"were you day dreaming again? Why weren't you watching out for her?". I picked this one becouse hes not realy careful and at this time there was a storm at the fishing bay and Tinh was in charge to take care of Lan, so the storm comes and they get to land. but there dad ba wasnt happy that Tinh had been so careless.

*wall-Basicly the plot would be that they live in a small village with very little people living there.Tinhs dad ba takes Tinh to go fish for food and to sell for other things.he has a very importent boat that on the front has a statue of the buddha that is watching over the village.while one day tinh took lan to go fish while ba was gone and they ended up losing the boat.tinh was realy scared that his family relied on the fish they cought and now that he lost the boat with the buddha statue on it he things bad things are happening becouse he lost it.so he gose out to sea in search for the boat to save his village.

*Friends-Trang Ton,he is one of tinhs best friends in the book they love to play soccer togeter and that there rely great friends. Ba, he is tinhs dad and he expects alot out from the boys at the village but he realy has a soft spot for tinh. Lan, is tinh's little sister and she enjoys to be around tinh becouse tinh always is showing here new things that she could learn.

*Hobbies-Tinhs is usually around fishing with his ba but while hes finished he likes to hangout with his friend Trang Ton. Trang Ton has a rich uncle that always sends Trang new things from America and trang would share them with tinh, but there favrite thing to do together is play soccer. Sometimes tinh would farm with lan to get some fruit for the family.

*Favrite Songs-Im not sure if tinh would be like a rock or pop or classical type but i would have to say he would be more of a like woodwind intrument type some band music or orchestra music not so very sure...

*Education-Tinh is from a small village and basicly they dont have much but a temple they go to pray for the buddas help with every thing. they have leaders there that tell them storys and examples of the great things the budda dose every day. But tinh learns alot from there like this one part that were the leader stode up and help his hands open and he told the people he had diomends so tinh stode up to see but all he had was a guava ( this guava tree is one of the oldest trees in the village that has given them plenty of food but it gets destroyed after the storm ). Tinh was confused but later on the story he realized that what the leader at the temple realy ment was that the guava his given use so much and diomends woundnt.

Thats the buddha ^.^
