The Lost Hero

This book is very good an I highly recommend it. I'm not finished yet but so far its pretty good!

The INVISIBLE MAN by H.G WELLS

Plot synapsus.

A quit country village, a heavy snowstorm, a mysterius stranger... more than enought to rouse the townspeople to gossip and speculation. who can he be, this suspicous-looking man who keeps his face hidden and his back to everyone? But when the stranger finally faces them, there are more quistions than answers, and more terror of the most unmespeakable kind, as outrage and murder put the once quiet contryside into the grip of an unstoppable madman. Ultimitly it is up to one man to solve the mystery and end the rampage, to reveal the identity of the faceless INVISIBLE MAN!

Rangers Apprentice by John Flanigan

The main Characters Halt, Will and Horace are tracking a religious cult called the outsiders that were causing havoc in the kingdom. Little did they know that they were being lead into an ambush. Will and Halt go into the forest to kill the assassins that were left to kill them. Halt's arm gets scarped by a poisoned arrow and death is getting closer. They go in search of the one person that can help them a sorcerer.

Great Bear Lake

It is the sequel to The Quest Begins. The bears finely meet on the Longest Day(winter solstice) .This series is very good and I highly recommend it.

Water Horse

This story is some what science fiction because the monster is real in the lock of Scotland.

Artemis Fowl

Artemis Fowl is about a boy mastermind. Who has a lot adventures including some with fairy SWAT teams.

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card

I'm not really sure what Enders Game is about yet. I've only read about 20 pages. SO far what I have pieced together is that: Ender is an amazingly intelligent boy. He is 6, and this is not a kids story.

Rangers Apprentice by John Flanigan

I'm farther into the book now and the book has kept me on the edge with suspense and danger as well as humor but to really understand the humor you would haft to read the series from the beginning. I'm about half way through the book and so far it’s been great I can connect to the to the characters and I feel as if I never want to put the book down and I always want to read it.

Bloody Jack

Bloody Jack is about a young orphan girl who cuts her hair and joins a man-of-war. If you get very connected to characters I suggest not to read it, the book is very violent.

King Solomons Mines

I'm not sure if I like this book yet. It's a story being told about the diamond mines of the great King Solomon.

Enders game

I have recently read Enders game. I find the use of sci-fi, which, in this case, comes in the form of aliens, mixed with the external conflict of civil and "intergalactic" war to be entreaging and draw you in to the story. The basis of this book is, in my opinion, is very near in the future and such gives it a nice mix of reality. Their computers are all very similar to today's IPad.

The Quest Begins

This book is about three bears. An polar, grizzly, and black bear. Its third person but you can still hear there emotions worries and hurts.

Halo First Strike

I am halfway done reading halo first strike. I am beginning to see that the book has a third person point of view that goes from one person to the next. The book is starting to get some new character in the story while I read it.

Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan

With this Ranger's Apprentice you don't know what to expect because of the title HALT's PERIL. Halt is one of the main characters and a very important one. If you were going to read this series I would suggest read them from book one so you can get right feel when something drastic happens. I like this book because of the suspense, humor and action.

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

Not so very long ago, Eragon-Shadeslayer,Dragon Rider-was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chance.

The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to imagine. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagasesia? And if so at what cost?

Westmark by Lloyd Alexander

This story takes place with a Printer's Apprentice who is horrible at everything but that. He makes a deal with a dwarf named Musket. Only thinking of the money that it will bring in. It back fires and ends up in the smashing of his mentor’s printing press and the death of his mentor. Now the main character killed a man trying to smash the printing press. So now he is on the wrong side of the law. So it is an action packed book and that is why I like it.

Jedi Trial

Jedi Trial is about a young Jedi who is anxious to be knighted. The story is from a couple different perspectives, that of a speeder trooper, a star fighter pilot, the young Jedi, an older Jedi, a Republic commander, and a Separatist admiral.

LLOYD ALEXANDER BOOK OF THREE

The story takes place in mid evil time when the world had no Pease with its self at all and there’s only one man that can stop the horend king with a little help from his friends.

Twenty and Ten by Clainre Huchet Bishop

during the German occupation of France twenty French children were brought to a refuge in the mountains. one day a young man came to their school with a request:could they take in and hide ten Jewish refugee children?

Revenge of the Whale by Nathaniel Philbrick

A book about when people whaled for lantern oil. A ship finds a really, really big whale that tries to destroy the ship. This is a true story that includes pictures and diagrams.

The Art Of Keeping Cool by Janet Lisle

This book is stated in the 1940's during the World War II. It's realistic fiction and I think that’s why I like it because it’s based on a war .The writer made me feel as if I was actually in the book. The book ended in a completely different ending then I would have expected.

Star Wars Ambush at Corella

This star wars takes place after the empire is no more. Now Han, Luke and Leia have to keep peace because there is no war. But there are five worlds that are on the brink of civil war so Han, Luke and Leia are tiring to resolve this problem.

Halo First Strike

I am reading Halo First Strike. The author is Eric Nylund. I just started the book and inside the book has lots of aliens and missions. A group called the UNSC are fighting against the covenant a alien race. I predict that a bigger threat has yet to come forth.

Geralds Game by Stephen King

This book is more of a psychological horror than a normal "Eek a monsters about to eat me!" King book. The main character is a lady named Jessie who has had problems with anger since she was a kid. I'm quite interested in psychology and I think this was a good book to read since it includes my passion for both psychology and horror. It seems in this book Jessie has multiple voices inside her head; one a "angel", one a "devil". King has always interested me because his writing is so different. He uses so many words to describe one thing it's amazing. He can turn one thought into three paragraphs. This book is interesting but I would not recommend it for someone unless they are ready to try and understand a lot of the "boring" stuff that seems unimportant.

This book reminds me more of "The Shining" than any other of Kings books that I have read.

Gifts by Ursula K. Le Guin

Young Men and Fire

How do I describe Young Men and Fire, by Norman Maclean? First off, it tells the story of the Mann Gulch fire, a forest fire in Montana in 1949 that killed twelve Smokejumpers, firefighters who parachute into forest fires. Maclean has an obsession with the fire, and writes this book to piece together the details of the fire, but also to exorcise his obsession. The book is partly history in the form of a story; Maclean repeatedly refers to himself not as a writer but as a storyteller. It is partly a detective novel; he spends years looking through archives for research, talks to survivors, and makes three visits back to Mann Gulch to pinpoint exactly where each step of the tragedy occurred. I wouldn't have thought the process of research could be exciting, but Maclean makes it suspenseful. He throws in twists such as new evidence or an overlooked tree that describes which way the fire really went.
I suppose one of the main attractions of a book about wildfire is the extremes. Because the story takes place in the mountains of the West, fire is on a greater scale than on the East Coast. The firefighters job is merely to keep the fire from spreading, and they consider this an easy job if it's over by 10am the next morning, twenty hours after they get on the fire. Maclean describes one fire he worked on where he raced ahead of the fire and, when he finally reached the ridge, "had to put out the fire that smoldered in my shoelaces." This same fire, though not "two hundred feet of flame in the sky" continued to burn from August through the winter, when he saw "stumps and fallen trees still burning, with smoke coming out of the blackened holes in the snow." This is a different order of life from my personal one, and even different from most adventure books. The extreme stakes trim life to the essentials of survival.

Speak

The book I am reading is called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. This girl is outcast because throughout her summer she sat her fat butt down on the couch in front on cartoons all day and never went to the beach to make some friends or buy new clothes. She has no one to sit with at the lunch table. She is a high school girl, with no friends. She met this one girl named Heather. They are friends. So she kind of has one friend.

Olaf Red-Sword By H.R. Haggard

I Am The Cheese by Robert Cormier

Walden Two

Walden Two is about a modern utopia where kids work for labor and
learning how to do work when they get older. It seems scary to me
that they’re doing this. They might get hurt like working in the
factories. They mostly do what they can do. They also have
classwork. They don’t get hard jobs. They’re mostly planting flowers
and cleaning rooms and things like that. They only work at age seven;
below those ages, they don’t work. Also, at age seven, they get to
eat at the cafeteria, where below those ages they have to eat in their
own rooms. It’s mandatory because they want them to be safe. It’s a
growing procedure for them. They can learn to grow up and be
responsible after that.

bridge to terabithia

this book is ok not the best thing it is pretty easy to read it hopefully gets more interesting

SCORPIA by Anthony Horowitz

Walden Two

For an assignment in psychology I had to read the book Walden Two by B.F. Skinner. In the first two chapters this book is about Two young men named Calvin and Steve who just returned from service during world war two.

Specials

I breezed through Specials, the conclusion to the trilogy that contains Uglies and Pretties. It was still mostly a quick, thrilling read. There wasn't too much to think about or to ponder. I did have to wonder why I kept reading, knowing that the main character would come out on top. I didn't think Westerberg would give the series an unhappy ending (and I was right). However, despite the fact that Tally is almost invincible in this book, and has better fighting technique and tools than any of her opponents, Westerberg still manages to provide believable twists that keep her struggling. For example, her opponents might have gained new weapons that give them an unexpected edge. She might uncover an unknown base of operations. Frequently, she and her teammates rush into unknown situations with a little too much bravado, almost setting themselves up for a struggle. Other times, I'm not sure how she will get out of the current jam. The plot could go down several different paths, so I keep reading to see whether she will get caught and have to deal with that, or whether she will escape and travel somewhere else.
I think there's also an element of satisfaction in watching her win. One dramatic escape is almost movie-like. The machine chasing her dies just before it catches her. On reflection, I suppose that's corny and predictable (isn't there a rule that killer machines cannot run out of gas or destruct until they are inches away from the hero?), but I also get a moment of relaxation when everything turns out okay. Maybe that's why I read books, because I know everything will be okay.
I appreciated the ending. Westerberg has written these books full of twists and turns, complications and developments, all mounting to an epic battle and a moral dilemma. It could be difficult to resolve the series, but not tie everything up too neatly. The ending has to reward all the struggle the characters and the reader have been through. Often times, the last chapter of a book like this is throw-away fluff that makes everything suddenly turn out great for everybody. Once the big battle is done, once the villain is defeated, how do you keep the reader engaged without a "happily ever after" ending? I'm glad to say that Westerberg found a very clever ending. It didn't pacify Tally's strong desires. It didn't leave everything perfect. It didn't defy the logic of the book's world. It was a brilliant way to both utilize Tally without changing her character and answer the question in the reader's mind. He found a way not to throw away everything he had built in the three books.
The only question now is, what happens in the next book? There is a fourth book, Extras. I'm not sure if that's a continuation of the story or a side story or material he couldn't fit in the first three books. There's no mention of any group of people called Extras. Maybe it's just like the special features on a DVD. Maybe it will be sketches, deleted scenes, early drafts, and an interview with the author.

Pretties

Pretties, by Scott Westerberg, appeared to be the sort of book I would hate. It's part of a wildly popular series (does nobody write single books that can stand alone anymore?), and the main characters are supermodel attractive. So I had to read it to see just how bad it was. It turns out to be a very gripping futuristic sci-fi book. Actually, the emphasis on physical attractiveness is portrayed negatively. It's a dystopic novel, meaning it imagines a future where advances in technology create a seemingly perfect world, but one where people are controlled and don't live full lives. It's the opposite of a utopia, where society's problems have been eliminated and everybody is happy. In a dystopia, as in this series, 1984 by George Orwell, or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, society's problems have been eliminated, but the soul of life has been killed. However, Tally, the main character, only slowly realizes this.
These sorts of novels always raise a series of questions. What cost is worth resulting peace? Is an absence of strife the same as harmony and co-existence? If somebody engineers all this, for as we saw in Jurassic Park, it takes a lot of work to thwart nature and the natural impulses, how do those people live and carry out their orders? Most of the time, a dystopic society only succeeds because most of the people are blissfully unaware. However, somebody must be very aware of what is going on. Why do those people never revolt? What do human beings want? Would it be possible to satisfy everybody with one system? If people don't know what they are sacrificing, are they really missing out?

So far the book is good. I have only got to page 12 so I do not know much.But it is good.

Sorry I wanted to update it so that is was easy to get to.

She's come Undone

I am reading the book "She's come Undone" by Wally Lamb. She is on Summer vacation right now. This book is about this girl named Dolores Price, who has a father who "loves her and her mom" VERY much. He hangs out with her for a whole week. Gives her a pool witch she has wanted since she was a little girl and plays around with her for the entire week. Dolores's mom is at her moms house visiting for a week. What Dolores doesn't know is that her father is going to leave her and her mom after this week. He asks all innocent and then when her father leaves (actually leaves) she wonders why he gave her everything she wanted that week. Since the father left life has been a little hectic for them. They go and live with Dolores's grandmother. After Summer vacation is over she starts back up in school. She starts back up win school. She is the 3rd smartest in her class. No one likes her. Thats all i have for now.

DRAGON KNIGHT

I am just starting to read Dragon Knight and it is getting really good because of one of the main characters just battled a big ferocious snake. I think this book connects to other dragon books because of all of the mystical creature you would find in other dragon books. I think these books connect to the book Eragon in a similar way.

Singularity

Last night, I started Singularity by William Sleator. It's a bit of a sci-fi book dealing with time travel, but it's also scary. Last night, about four chapters in, I had to stop reading it because the menace of what was in this empty house actually freaked me out. At first Harry, the narrator, is terrified by everything about this old house, and describes every moment with foreboding. You expect something to leap out of the shadows at any point. After Harry and his brother get used to the house, there is another unknown that, because of its mystery and power, becomes threatening.

While I'm curious to see how this unknown power will develop, I'm annoyed by Barry, Harry's brother. His character is supposed to be annoying; part of the story is the tension between the brothers. However, he's so annoying that I don't enjoy reading about him. Maybe he'll get eaten up by a monster or something.

DRAGON QUEST

I am two chapters of finishing Dragon Quest. what I like of this book is all of the battles happening in the book and the characters of the book. There is mostly different characters in the book and new ones popping out of the book and there are some that are hard to pronounce. I like the battle mostly because of who will win.

IT by Stephen King

IT has gone back to when they were kids and it is reallllllllllllllllllllllllllly confusing. IT first started out with S.K telling about Derry (the town they live in) and the clown killing people. Then IT changed to telling about the kids, then the adults, then about other character, then about adults, then about kids!!!!!! IT's hard to follow because S.K keeps going back and forth in time.

War Stories

I seem to be reading about war and refugees a lot. I'm almost through What Is the What, which continues to heap on more and more varieties of tragedy and atrocity. I've also started Katherine Paterson's new book The Day of the Pelican, another novel about a real-life modern bloody conflict which the US largely ignores. Reading these stories, learning about the government-sponsored massacres and butchering in Sudan and Kosovo, makes me wonder what we're doing in Iraq. This willy-nilly raping, burning, and slaughtering still happens daily in places like the Congo, and we only catch rumors of it. We choose to stay on the sidelines because we don't want to get involved in "tribal disputes" or "regional conflicts," as if the right to kill people in order to grab their land is a sacred piece of one's culture.

The Day of the Pelican reminds me of Number the Stars. Both stories feature young girls living in the build-up to war. Serbian soldiers stand at corners, an unobtrusive but menacing shadow on daily life. The girls coming from home from school temper their natural exuberance so as not to raise suspicion. As if running down the street is illegal, or ten-year-old girls are plotting the revolution. I wonder what happens to a young man, be he German or Serbian, that he looks for an excuse to harass young school girls. How does one build up the hatred or blindness that sees these people as annoying, expendable things? And when do I do that? True, I'm not kicking people out of their homes, but how would I act if I had a large gun and responsibility? Do I see the brotherhood in everybody, or are there people I write off?

in this book the writing is vary detailed for example: the birds right wing has specks of brown and a white patch on its left. It is a good book

_EAGLE STRIKE_

I Am The Cheese by Robert Cormier

Just Liste

I am now read "Just listen" by Sarah Dessen. This book is about this girl named Annabel who thinks she has everything because she played the role in a play. She was a top student and popular cheerleader, and a dazzling prom queen. But she really has nothing. She doesn't have friends, no peacefulness at home, and she doesn't have the ability to tell anyone whats on her mind. She then meets this kid named Owen Armstrong who's obsessed with music, very strong and determined to always tell the truth. She hates telling the truth all the time . I will find out what happens next when i read more.

SKELETON KEY

POINT BLANK by Anthony Horowitz

flying aces of world war 1

this book is medium diction example: the german armies were forced to retreat. This book is structured in chapters. When an old subject ends and a new subject starts, there's a chapter. It goes back and forth from German people to British people to French people. The main topic is flying aces and it all fits in because each chapter is about a French flyer or German flyer or British flyer who invented something or did something amazing in that time.

What is the What

What Is the What, by Dave Eggers, is a novel broken into chapters, as novels usually are. However, within each chapter are many stories. The book so far flips between the present action, in which Achak, the main character is being robbed, and his memories. The memories appear as shorter stories interrupting the present action. While the present action follows linear time, with one thing happening after the other, the memories are pulled up as things remind Achak of his past. Some of these memories are after he came to the United States, some are of the refugee camp he lived in for ten years, and some are of his early life in his village in southern Sudan. By dropping these crumbs of his life story piece by piece, the variety keeps the reader interested in the story and in suspense. One can read this story a little at a time, rather than having to dive into it.

The author also makes it an easy book to sink into by using a conversational diction. It is written in first person from Achak's point of view, as if he were telling the story to the reader. For example, in this account of a lion attacking a group of young boys, Eggers writes, "I remember the first boy who was taken. We were walking single file, as we always did, and Deng was holding my shirt from behind as he always did." There is little poetic language and few extra details. Eggers uses mostly simple, common words that are easy to understand. However, he reveals the origin of his character by occasionally using more formal words than found in every day diction. For example, he writes, "I do not know why she wants to call the police for a car in need of repair, but I consent....It does not make sense to me to leave the door open but I do so because she desires it." The words "consent" and "desires" are more formal than most English speakers would use commonly; by this word choice, the reader realizes that Achak has learned English and is not a native speaker. He also uses very few contractions. Achak says, "I am unwilling to agree," rather than "I'm unwilling," and "I tell her that I do have a phone," rather than "I tell her I do." He speaks very properly, without shortcuts, unlike many who grew up speaking English in the United States.

False Starts

There are lots of books out there, so I guess it shouldn't be such a surprise when I don't like a lot of them. After dropping The Land of Green Plums, I started a book by Paul Auster and Tempting Faith DiNapoli, by Lisa Gabriele. Both of them sounded promising--one is an account of a man who wakes up in a cell and can't remember who he is or what he's doing there, and the other is a not-too-sweet memoir of a Catholic childhood--but both became a chore to read. Maybe I was turned off by the suffering in the stories. However, the book I've currently settled on, What is the What by David Eggers, is about one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, certainly not a light story of good times. Maybe it's the stakes. In the books I dropped, the suffering seemed to be an internal dilemma of achieving happiness. In my current book, the suffering is escaping lions and militia men with machine guns. It's a lot easier to be gripped by stories of boys getting eaten by lions than by a girl facing 1950's social demands. Also, Eggers's writing is witty and quick, and the story jumps from the present day to reminisces of the main character's life in Sudan, so there are short anecdotes. However, right now, there are philosophical ramblings which are getting a bit long. When is a shark going to come along and eat somebody? When is somebody going to be thrown in a pit of rats?

An Abundance of Katherines

I just finished An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. As with two of his other books, Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns, it's told from the viewpoint of a high school boy and involves longing for a mysterious girl and a road trip. It feels a bit like junk food for the brain; it's an easy, quick read, always entertaining, and feeds the endless romantic in me, just as a popular movies do. There's some adventure in it, though not too wild to make it unbelievable. In other words, I could imagine myself in the story, which I enjoy. It also has little mysteries in it, which keep the story interesting. I realized this weekend, while at an art gallery, that I don't like things that tell too much. I prefer abstract paintings to realistic landscapes, and I like stories that suggest feelings rather than explaining everything. This book leaves out key bits that aren't wrapped up till the end. It also keeps moving. For example; during much of the book, the main character interviews old people in the town. Some of these interviews are detailed, but much of them are passed over, with the result that a boring summer job doesn't also bore the reader.
Incidentally, the author alludes to this in his own writing. "Authors never included the whole story; they just got to the point. Colin thought the truth should matter as much as the point, and he figured that was why he couldn't tell good stories." This book is full of crafted stories. The whole story ends at a certain point, rather than including what happens "happily ever after." Also, throughout the book, there are flashbacks which are shaped with a beginning, middle, and an end. I think that's why it's so appealing to read these sorts of novels; everything fits into a plot and has an end that makes sense, and so often our lives don't follow that structure.

STORMBEAKER

IT by Stephen King

The Land of Green Plums

I just started reading _The Land of Green Plums_ by Herta Müller. I found this book on the "Staff Picks" shelf at the Fletcher Free Library. I have never heard of this author, but the synopsis on the inside front cover sounded interesting. It sounds like a deep story of loss and failure, a bit like _1984_, and I was in the mood for a depressing book like that.

However, I've started many books that had interesting plots but boring writing. The writing in this book is almost poetic. Literal and symbolic language is mixed, as is the present and memories. For example, the author writes, "The grass stands tall inside our heads. When we speak it gets mowed." At times I'm not sure if the action described is actually happening or only representing feelings. I'm curious to see if the author sustains this style through the entire book, or if it's only a form of prelude.

RANGER'S APPRENTICE

I'm nearly have done with Ranger's apprentice book 7 I only have 80 more pages. Now I'm at a interesting part full of action and adventure. I think one of the best parts about the book is you can never know whats coming next.

Keeping the moon

I just started reading this book called "Keeping the Moon" by Sarah Dessen. This author is one of my favorites because she loves to write. She loves to make things more interesting for the reader and elaborates on almost everything. Mrs. Baskette got me a book called "This Lullaby" by sarah dessen and I liked the book so i decided to read another one. So... I decided to read this one!!

number the stars

right now there smuggling people to a boat

RANGER'S APPRENTICE

I'm reading book 7 of Ranger's Apprentice so far its really good I just reached a sort of boring chapter its boring because the main characters are just sitting around negotiating and not doing anything but I think it will start getting interesting really soon. It is after the forth book because the writer left important part of the series out.

DRAGON QUEST

I am halfway done Dragon quest. What I like about this book is that it has adventures, battles, and mythical creatures. Dragon quest is a great book and if anyone likes fantasy stories, you should read this book.

THe tale of Despereaux

This book is starting to get very exiting. because Despereaux is getting thrown in. a Giant pit of rats right now.

Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks

I have finished Evil Genius. The end turned out different than I expected. This was definitely an interesting book and people should read it. I have recently become interested in human psychology, which is what this book was mostly about. I like books that are mostly about people with a higher IQ level than regular humans

Fifteen

The book I am reading is called "Fifteen" by Beverly Cleary. I like this book because it has humor and joy. It makes me worried in some parts but happy and joyfully in others. This book is made for the ages of 13-16 in my opinion. It talks about school, relationships, and friends. Its a good book to read in high school, (i think) because of what is has to say! If you want to know more, then read it!!

The Diary of A Young Girl - More Thoughts

I’m still reading The Diary of A Young Girl. Where I am, it’s 1944 now, and Anne has grown up quite a bit since first arriving in the Secret Annexe. She’s been in the same building with the same people for a year and three quarters of a year – straight. I’m surprised that she hasn’t gone crazy. The Van Daans (the other family hiding with them) have a son named Peter. Anne is a teenage girl, and Peter is a teenage boy, so it’s not much of a surprise that Anne and Peter have sort of become… more than friends. So there are a few pages straight about Peter, then a page or two about something else, than more about Peter! At times, she seems obsessed with Peter! She talks with him frequently.

However, she does talk about Annexe life as well. And there is something scary going on in the part I’m in the middle of. They are scared that they may have been found out. Someone broke into the building, and they think it may have been the police. It’s quite frightening to read, and sort of sad, too, because this may have been how they were found out. No one is sure just who reported the Franks, but it is possible that it was one of the people who broke in. However, judging from the length of the book, it’s not the end just yet. But it’s sickening to think that it may have been the beginning of the end.

DRAGON QUEST

I ma Almost half way done Dragon Quest. Kale and and others stayed at wizard fenworths castle for a few days and learned how to use magic. Kale finds out that she has a mother and they are going to rescue her.

The cartoon world history book I'm reading is manly about Spanish and how they took over the Indies. And how they stole all the Aztecs gold and silver.

Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl

I’m now reading The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank. If you haven’t read it, you’ll probably be forced to eventually. Anne’s family had to go into hiding during the Holocaust, so they stayed with another family in a place called the “Secret Annexe” from 1942 to 1944. It’s amazing how thoughtful a self-described “thirteen-year old schoolgirl” can be. (Imagine that – she was around my age when she was there and when she wrote all this.) What happens is that she’s a normal girl, living the good life, all the sudden the Germans come in and gradually take away their freedom, then things get so bad that the Jews have to go into hiding – or else the Nazis will get them and take them away to concentration camps. The Franks are being helped by non-Jewish friends of the family, who bring them food and supplies and try to keep the “Secret Annexe” secret.

As one can imagine, seven (later eight) people cooped up in a small space for two years will get into a lot of fights. Anne mentions these fights frequently. They’re usually between the Franks and the other family. And to add to that, there is the constant threat of discovery by the Nazis that keeps them under pressure.

One wonders what kinds of things Anne would have written in that diary if the Holocaust had never happened. I doubt that it would be very well-known – I mean, who wants to read some schoolgirl’s diary? Well, this schoolgirl’s diary has been called “a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.” (That was off this publication’s back cover, by the way.) Is it really all that?

I think so. For being written by a “thirteen-year old schoolgirl,” this is an amazing work.

The tale of Despereanux by Kate dicamillo

I just barely started this book. And it is good. there is some boring stuff. But it is good. The boring stuff is some times it dicribes him walking around.

Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks

The "bad guy" is revealed. I always wondered about the bad guy and just because he evil to the "good guy" he might think that what we consider evil he/she thinks is right. I'm nearing the end of this book and the good guy v.s bad guys scene is starting up. I've noticed in books and movies that at the second that you think the good guy is about to die or someone else is, all of a sudden something happens or something clicks in their heads. I think that is a big cliche and if I write stories I'll make sure the bad guys win. I think this is one of the most interesting books I've read and a good book to consider reading.

Pearls of Lutra

I’m almost done with Pearls of Lutra. I’m reading the climactic battle scene. I’m sure it will end well, but at least one of the good characters will die. That is how every Redwall book I have ever read ends. Wait - a good character (or two!) died already, around the middle of the book. However, many more bad characters have been slain. If one were to do a body count, the good guys have the upper hand – or in this case, paw. Just like in all the other Redwall books.

I think the reason for all these happy endings is because people, especially children, prefer happy endings. But actually, there is some tragedy in the Redwall books. For example, in Martin the Warrior, someone important dies. (I won’t say who, so as not to spoil the ending.) When good characters die in the series, they make a big deal about it. That’s probably because the good guys are always outnumbered, so when one of the “vermin” dies, that’s no big deal – there are plenty more. (Unless he/she was a leader of course, then the book makes a big deal about that.) But the reader’s sympathies are (usually) with the heroes and heroines of the story, so when one of them dies, that’s sad for the other protagonists - and the reader, too.

Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks

This books mane character is a boy named Cadel Piggot, he is thirteen years old and has an IQ of over 200. Evil Genius is interesting because it's focused around people that are very intelligent or have interesting powers like spontaneous combustion and so forth. Cadel is mostly interested in computers and math. He attends a school called Axis Institute. Some of the classes at Axis are Assassination, basic lying, and computer hacking.

I am almost half way done Dragon Quest. The main character is Kale and the Author is Donita K Paul. Along the way back to wizard Fenworths castle Kale and the other were attacked by giant poison spiders and Kale was hurt by the poison in her body. So Kale and the other rushed to the teleporting gates to wizard Fenworths castle to get her healed there.

Revenge of the spellmans

This book "Revenge of the Spellmans" by Lisa Lutz is a fictional book. This book makes me feel happy, and frightened. Happy, because she finally found a place to live, and is working. She is almost back in the Spellman investigations, but her parents still are not talking to her because of what she did. If you want to find out what she did you will have to read the book. It makes me sad because the place she is living is in her brothers basement. He doesn't know she is living there. I have no idea how she sneaks by the windows in the house and not get caught by her brother. Tis has been going on for about a month now. She had a dream that her brother called in the "*squad*" to get her out of his house, but luckily it was only a dream, for now.
