 * The Stolen Bike!!!! **
 * By: Tamara Carter **
 * One day there was three monkeys named Brian, and Chad, and last but not least a crazy monkey named Russ. They all were brothers and if anything went wrong with them they all would try and fix it. **
 * Saturday Mar. 28 2009 **
 * Today was Russ’s birthday he had just got a new bike from both of his brothers they had saved up a lot of money for it. So Russ was so happy when he opened up hi present. **
 * “Thanks you guys I always wanted a bike how did you get it or even find it? **
 * Brian-we didn’t find it we saved up a lot of money to get it for you” Russ- “How much was the bike? **
 * Brian - it came up to $99.56 cents Chad over here said we should get you a bike that was $200.00 but that was the cheapest bike we could find. Russ- Its find I like this bike! Thank you so much! **
 * So after that Russ rode his bike for so long that day he was even to excited to play with his other toys! Russ took his bike with him everywhere he took it in the house he took it to school he tried to bring it in the school but he kept getting in trouble by the teacher so he left it outside by the window were his desk was and looked at it all day. Even some of the kids at school liked his bike but there was one big problem it was a monkey named The Crusher but that wasn’t really his name he hated his real name His real name was Scott. He started looking at Ruses bike Russ thought he was thinking of a idea of taking his bike but ruses other Idea was that he was looking at his bike because he thought it looked cool So Russ rode off home. **
 * Monday April. 30 2009 **
 * Russ- “ Well Today’s the day me and my bike go to the park. **
 * Brian- Russ don’t you think your going kind of crazy because you have been with your bike for A whole month now! **
 * Russ- I am not going crazy I just love my bike what this I my first time I my life that I had ever had a bike I never had a bike before. “Well if I did I can’t Remember” So if you will excuse me and my bike have to go and go to the park. **
 * Brian- Then after that Russell what are you going to go and take it a bath or maybe go and get its nails done sense you can’t take your eyes off of the bike!! **
 * Russ- “Well last night I was going to take it a bath but I didn’t feel like it maybe I will do that tonight? **
 * Brian- “Oh my gosh” **
 * Chad- Hay guys what are you talking about? **
 * Brian- Nothing we are just talking. **
 * So then Russ took off with his bike to the park and he rode it around forever he didn’t even get off of it once. But then Russ had to go to the bathroom he could not hold it he new he couldn’t bring it in the bathroom with him. So he left his bike outside of the bathroom and said why would anyone want to take my bike? **
 * A couple of minutes later……… **
 * MY BIKE IS GONE! Yelled Russ. **
 * So then Russ ran home as fast as he could and told Chad, and Brian. **
 * Brian- I new something was going to happen to your bike! **
 * Russ- No I was in the bathroom for a second then I came out and my bike was gone now I don’t know what to do? **
 * Russ- do you think you guys can help me find my bike Please? **
 * Brian- I am not helping you that bike was your responsibility not mine! **
 * So then Chad and Russ went to go and look for Russ’s bike they looked more at the park, they looked were gas stations were and then they went to look at school on the playground. But still couldn’t find the bike. **
 * Russ- “oh” we are not leaving without my bike! **
 * Russ- I don’t care if it takes us all morning! **
 * Chad- But if we don’t get home we are going to get in a lot of trouble by Brian. **
 * Russ- Fine we can go home but can we look for the bike tomorrow. **
 * Chad- Deal **
 * So then while Chad and Russ were walking home Russ saw his bike But there was a big problem The crusher had it. **
 * Russ- Chad The crusher has my bike what are we going to do? **
 * Russ- what do you think he will make us out of? **
 * Chad- He will probably make us out of a candy bar or tuna but you know how much he loves his candy bars. **
 * Russ- Well I don’t really care about the candy bar I want my bike back. **
 * So then Chad and Russ tried to go and sneak the bike but all of a sudden they heard a voice that sounded really scary! **
 * The crusher- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! **
 * I am going to crush you guys no one ever comes on to my property! **
 * To Be continued………….. **

**Questions for Peer Reviewers**

 * (**Think in terms of questions you would like to ask the author.)

1. Think of plot—is it original? (If an adaptation, is it creative or interesting to you?) What suggestions do you have for the author(s)?

2. Think about problems that the characters face. Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed?

3. Think of characterization—are the characters life-like? Are characters likable and enjoyable? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions?

4. Think of imagery and details. Do they help you //see// and //hear// and //experience// the story? What details would you like to see in the next revision of the story?

5. What areas of the story need the most improvement? What suggestions do you have for the author?
