Dear Ms. Kugler,
Drake, Will, Elliot, and Chester quickly made their way over to the cave where Cal weas thought to have died in. Drake said that it was a sugar trap that Cal walked into. It realeases white spores that paralyze you. Then it slowly digests you. They made it to the cavern which still had white spores floating around. Then Drake ran in to try and get Cal out.
I think that Drake might barely make it out. If he does, then Cal might barely be alive. I wonder how Drake will get Cal to get moving again. If he's still alive.
Intrude- trespass
Appall- to fill with consternation or dismay
Emerge- come out

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Will and Chester followed Drake to their camp. Elliot didn't talk much and would sometimes go ahead and scout or stay back to see if they were being followed or not. They made it to an octagonal room where they told Drake what happened to Cal. Then Drake told them to get ready to leave because there might be a slim chance to save Cal.
I think that they will be able to save Cal. If not, that sucks. I guess that Drake and Elliot are good guys. They are like some freedom fighter people who are at war with the Styx.
Belligerent- inclined or eager to fight
Subtle- so slight that it's difficult to detect
Contraption- machine or gadget

Dear Ms. Kugler,
The people who grabbed Will and Chester put their hands over Will and Chester's mouths. They pulled them back and blindfolded them. Then they led them a bit away from the crater. They took off Will and Chester's blindfolds and asked them who they were. The people who kidnapped the boys was a man and a teenage girl. Their names were Drake and Elliot.
I think that Drake and Elliot are going to help them. They might join together to find Will's father and maybe even save Cal, if possible. I hope that they are good guys. If they haven't killed them yet, then they probably are.
Survey- look or search

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Will and Chester were silent while walking through the Deeps. They eventually came upon a crater where they heard some noise. They quietly peaked over the side and saw something terrible. They saw Limiters killing Coprolites. They lined them up and shot them with rifles that had what looked like they had night vision scopes on them. Just then Will and Chester were grabbed from behind!
I think that they were caught by Limiters. I don't know why they didn't just shoot them like they did with the Coprolites. I wonder why they even shot the Coprolites in the first place. It's probably because they're evil.
Agitate- bother
Submerge- go into or under water

Dear Ms. Kugler,
The pipe things started to move around and Cal fell off of the one he was climbing on. They started to run back into the small tunnel they came from right as the pipes started to release white spores. Cal wasn't fast enough and breathed in some of the spores. He then fell back down and his veins in his face turned all blue. Will tried to get him out but couldn't find a pulse, so he had to leave him.
I think that Cal is still alive. It wouldn't be cool if he just died like that. But if he is dead, that really sucks. Now Will and Chester will be really lost.
Scabbard- a sheath
Grimy- gross
Reluctant- unwilling

Dear Ms. Kugler,

Sarah went underground to find her sons. She went into the Deeps, wearing the armor off a Limiter. The Limiters are the Styx soldiers. Meanwhile, Will and the others were walking through the hundreds of miles of the Deeps. They found a cavern where a bunch of pipe like things were. Cal started to climb them, and they started to move!

I wonder what the pipe things are? Maybe they are animals. Or it might be something man-made, like a trap or some water pipes. But they don't use pipes like Topsoilers do, and Topsoilers can't dig that far.

Carnivorous- meat-eating

Dear Ms. Kugler,
Will and Cal's mother's name is Sarah. She went to a tunnel that Will once dug. When she got there, the man who put the letter in the secret mailbox was there. Apparently he thought that Will had killed Tam too, because the Styx told him. They want Sarah to help hunt down Will. She reluctantly agreed, mostly because she wanted to avenge her brother's death.
I think that the Styx are pretty good liars. They either got Tam's friend to believe what they told him, or they are paying him. I think that he's getting paid, but I don't know for sure. I can't believe that Sarah would actually believe them.
Execute- kill
Interrogate- to examine by questioning formally or officially
Exchange- to trade

Dear Ms. Kugler,

Cal said that it was unusual for a Coprolite to take interest in people but they ignored it and moved on. Then the next chapter talks about how his dad is also in the Deeps. He has found a Coprolite village and was living there. He studied them and worked with them and they didn't seem to mind. He was the one on the Coprolite boat who was looking at Will but since they all wore suits with glowing orbs in the eyes, neither Will, Cal, nor Chester could tell that it was Will's father, and Will's father couldn't tell who they were. So they still haven't found each other.

I think that Will and the others will find the village that Dr. Burrows is in. Then they will find a way to get back to the surface and hide from the Styx. They will still have to find Will's mother. That might be hard.

Diabolical- evil

Stumble- to trip

Dear Ms. Kugler,

                             Will, Cal, and Chester were going deeper into the Deeps.  They traveled for a couple of days without seeing much of anything.  Then they found an underground river and saw some strange people.  Cal said that they were called Comprolites.  They live in the Deeps and aren't very smart.  They won't bother you or acknowledge your presence, but strangely, one of the Coprolites seemed interested and was looking right at them!

                            I think that Will will find his father soon.  Then they will stay underground and explore some more.  Then Will's mother might come and try to hurt/kill him.  Then she will find out that she was lied to.

                Avenge- revenge or to inflict a punishment or penalty in return for

                Gypsum- a colorless, white, or yellow mineral

                Isolate- alone or remote
