Eragon!

Before I start I must say, this book involves dragons, elves, dwarves, humans, werecats, and weird herbalists. If you read this you shall become glued to the page of this series in a matter of minutes. Enjoy this book, and love it!

First, there is this guy, Eragon. Eragon is a human, he's pretty average. He lives with his uncle, and has a cousin that he treats like more than a brother. He's mother left him with Garrrow, his uncle, when was but a baby. Eragon is a great hunter and has a small rivalry with the butcher Sloan. One day, during his hunting, Eragon finds a deep hole in the forest It was hot around all the edges.  In the middle, there was stone, Glittering blue.  He picked it up and carried it home. He and his uncle,  went to Carvahall ( a near by town ) to see if it be worth any thing. They took it the jeweler. But the jeweler said, "It's hollow!" So, they gave up on the stone. Eragon put the stone in his pocket and forgot about it. Later, he listened to a story of blood and revenge. It was about the rise of their apparent evil king, Galbotroix. ( It's spelled something like that.) The story was told by Carvahall's storyteller, Brom. That night, Eragon sat in his room. He kept slightly tapping the stone, listening the music it made, for it was hollow. Then it rolled off his desk. Eragon picked it up. The stone shattered...

That my Friends, is a cliffhanger. What I can tell you is, that stone, it will bring peace and happiness upon Eragon, but also despair and much loss. The stone will bring him companionship unlike any other, it will teach him a few lessons too. That stone, or must I rather say, egg, is much more than you might think...

Messenger

This book is the sequel to Gathering Blue. You pretty much see how Matt is doing at the village. He becomes the main character. During this time the forest starts becoming evil. There is also a Trade master that trades away peoples deepest part of themselves. This is a really deep book and expect a lot twists and turns. You also find out who Matt really is... So, this is book is great and I hope everyone enjoys it!

The Witch and the Wizard

This is one of my favorite books. It is just the best. The reason I am blogging about this one today is because I thought it was only one book. (again!) But there is a series. In this book there is a new government. This government wants everything to be perfect. It is called the New Order. The One Who Is The One wants to track down all Wizards, Witches, and anybody with an Imagination. Suddenly, Whit, and Wisty, have TOSTO (The One Who Is The One) at their door. They are accused of being Witches and Wizards. Wisty and Whit go thorough the process of being a juvenile prisoner, without a fair trial, and face many struggles. Along the way they discover what is left of the world, what the N.O really is, and who they really are. This book is astounding with a plot twist coming at you every minute! It truly is, a great book.

Gathering Blue!

This book is the next book of the Giver quartet. It's a little bit easier to explain too. So, there is this girl called Kira. Kira's mother recently passed away due to sickness. She watched her spirit drift away herself. Kira's mother was an excellent weaver. She had fixed, and embroidered a lot of the stitches on the singer's  robe. Now Kira is being faced with a trial, The scarred women who wants to leave her for the beasts to get her because she is crippled,  eats to much, takes up space, slow, ETC. When she faces the trial, the result is astonishing. She was taken in to be help weave new designs on to the singers robe. But first, she must learn the dyes. She meets the woman who knows the dyes, (FOUR SYLLABLES OLD!!!) and trys to learn ASAP. She, and her friend Matt, along with the Carver, make many discoveries, along with the dark secrets....

This book does not pick up the story of Jonas, instead you hear this awestruck story and later find out why we know Kira's mission. I, love this book. It has a great plot and is appropriate fro young readers. Yet while reading this booked, I warn you, you will get hooked. The way Lois Lowery writes is so, so, simple. You have to figure out what is going on, and how this world works by your self. Just like in the Giver. I hope ya'll enjoy this book, don't forget to leave a like and comment!

Charlie

Today, Charlie was put to sleep. (our cat) His kidneys were failing, and he was diabetic. Last Saturday he vomited, and became very lethargic. Since then. we took him everyday to the doctors office. After they did everything they could, the vet said, "It's best to let him go.". We spent this last night and this morning with him. I now know that he was more than just a cat, but a part of our family. ):

This is him with my other cat Brownie.

Here is Charlie basking in the sun.

This is what we left the vet with...):

THE MOVIE V.S THE BOOK

A LONG time ago, i had just finished reading I am Number Four. I wanted to see if there was a movie, so I was surfing Amazon Video and found it! ( Please note that the movie cost 4 bucks to rent for a day.) I finally got a chance to watch it on my BIRTHDAY! So, Sunday night we hopped onto the couch, logged into Amazon Video, and watched it.

Image it showed on Amazon

                                   
The movie has a lot things that are different. When watching it, it reveals secrets that you shouldn't know yet. It's plot is a little different. But most of the main things that happen in the first book are in there. There is some powers/what-powers-can-do that is a little different too.

In my opinion the book is better, and you might want to read the first two books before you watch this movie. The book has WAY more aspects and details. Yet, as all readers know, it is always fun to see how another reader interpreted the story.  That's the post for today, Like this post if you want to have more of these type of posts!

PS: comment below what you thought of the book and movie.

The GIVER!

One night, twas the day before Sunday. The Bonamarte family gathered on the couch. Turned on the Netflix, and watched THE GIVER!!! - So what happened is we watched the movie on Netflix first, (newbie mistake) and then for Christmas I got the book.  I would recommend reading the book first, and when you watch the movie just don't expect the same story line. Now in this book there is a community where everything is perfect. There are family units and genetically engineered baby's. This kid, Jonas, gets selected a job. He goes to the very edge of the communities every single day and receives memory's from the last receiver. Its hard what to say and what not to say.... I'm going to end it there but, there is so much more to the story.

Alien teenager wha???????

OK, so a few months ago a came across the series, Lorien Legacies. This is a crazy series for teens. Now I wouldn't recommend this book for elementary school students because it has a ton of violence and language. (mostly the the books after the first and second) So this alien is from a planet called Lorien. Now, Lorien was a beautiful place. There were 4 different kinds of people (well not exactly people but you now what I mean.) on Lorien. Garde, These were Aliens who were born with powers. ( I'm not going to tell you guys them because that would spoil some of the book.)Cepan, These were a certain few on Lorien that were selected to train the Garde to use their powers. (Legacies) Then there were Elders, these were the Garde who had chosen to protect Lorien from danger and harm. Last, just the average Aliens, like workers and Chimera (you'll now when you read the book) vets you know, the usual. Oh and how could I forget? There were Mogadorians. (Mogs for short) Mogs were the Lorien's people sacred enemy. THEN, they attacked! Lorien was gone in hours. BUT, there were survivors. During the battle, some newborn Garde were hurried to a spaceship. The elders cast a spell on the Garde that they had to be killed in sequence. They were each given numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Then they set off for....here it comes, EARTH! The Garde left with there Cepan. When they arrived they scattered. They went to all different places around the world. That's the back story. Now to present, 1, 2, and 3 are dead. Number four is next. This means that the Mogs are are here. Will number 4 gain his legacies soon? During this process of running and freaking out. Number four gets his new fake ID, John Smith. John and his Cepan, Henri have found a new home in Paradise. John makes friends, and discovers terrifying secrets. Will he die in vain? Or will he gain his legacies and fight back.........

This is the front cover of my copy of the first book

(For new reader of the series, do not let the numbers confuse you, the sequence of the books had no appeal to the title for instance, I am number four, is not the fourth book.)

The Titans are back!

Welcome back everyone, Today I will be reviewing The Last Olympian. This is the last book of the first series of Percy Jackson. This is it. The final battle between The Titans and The gods. wait no. That already happened!! It's actually the battle between half bloods and TITANS!!! So, in this book Everybody is trying to fight back the titans. Even a few special mortals chip in. Percy gets a special invitation and a sand dollar! Want to know what I thought? Well I thought it was great! You will to!! That is if you like Action, Trust, Betrayal, And a Little Romance! Don't forget mythology! That is why I liked it! So please check out this book and you can follow me on Pinterest if you would like. Also please support Rick Riordian, If you are local you can get all the books from the children's section ( surprisingly ) at the Oak Ridge Library. 

The maze of wonders?!

Welcome back everyone!

Todays book is The Battle of the Labyrinth. Annabeth and Percy are running through the forest during a game of capture the flag, when the make a sudden discovery - an entrance to the Labyrinth! But, an enemy just seems to know to.... This book is about Percy and Annabeth running around in the Labyrinth, and of course having a few troubles along the way.  They try to find the creator of the Labyrinth, find Pan,  and fight back the enemy the whole time! The Battle of the Labyrinth is honestly one of my favorites and would be in top ten in my opinion. I hope that you like it too, because you won't be able to put it down!

Come back soon, when I post my next review - which might have something to do with pirates~ 

Titans curse: The kidnapping!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE 2ND BOOK!!

FIRST!! DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVENT READ THE SEA OF MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (;

I'd have to say this book was not the best of the Percy Jackson series but, it is still a good one. It is about how Annabeth and Artimis are kidnapped. So Thalia and  Percy have to try and find them.  While on this Quest they encounter quite a few interesting things. They meet the amazons, the Hercules tiger.... I will say that this book is one of the most adventurous one. But honestly it is not my favorite. Well there's lots to tell but, I'm going to let you find out the rest!! (- ; BYE!! 

The TOP SECRET Mission to DC

I know, I know it's been a while since I have made a post. I have been busy with school and now Spring Break! BUT, on spring break my parents took us on a great trip along with a book called "Mission Washington DC" and I'd like to share it with you.
In this book you are trying to earn a number of points. You can pair up  with someone, while a parent or legal guardian is the score keeper. This book is more of a activity book than reading book. In this book you and your partner ( unless your by yourself  of course ) are on a mission in Washington D.C. Its kinda like a scavenger hunt. IT is a family owned book. My mom found on amazon. I really enjoyed this. It kept me interested while going through all the museums looking for new things. The book was cool showing me things I never would of thought to look for. So sometimes I could show everyone else something fun.. We saw sooo much on this tripped and walked FOREVER.. I kept all my cool findings (lots of freebies to be found so keep an eye out) and maps in my secret mission book.. I hope they have more for our next BIG trip~

Well that wraps it up, and thanks for checking up and BYE. P.S you have to go to Washington D.C for it to work out.

The sea of percy jackson

Hi guys! I haven't been on because I couldn't get the camera working. Anyway, in the Sea Of Monsters Percy finds out he has a sibling who is a monster. ( I'm not going to tell you what kind of monster. ha ha) They also go to the island Crete, and  have to go though the Bermuda Triangle. They do this because they are on a Quest to get the Golden Fleece. They want the Golden Fleece because Thalia's tree is poisoned. All that happened in this book surprised me though, especially Percy having a brother! Well  that's that, and the next book I will be blogging about will be the Titans Curse. 

BYE and hope you like this book as much as I did!!!

The Lighting Thief!

Hi guys, I'm back posting after a few days off., kinda got distracted. I wanted to tell you about the first book ever in the Rick Riodian series!! Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief. It's mostly about Percy arriving at camp and Zeus's Lighting Bolt. In this book I learned what Mythology is, and that Percy is a funny, daring, and he has ADHD. ( Most Half-Bloods do.) If I were you, I would read the book before you watch the movie, because the movie is very different from the book! I liked Percy Jackson so much, I was him for Halloween. I had this homemade Lighting Bolt that changes colors. Red, White, Green, and Flashing Red. Then some shoes with wings and a camp Half-Blood T-shirt. Honestly, this book wasn't my favorite one of series, but we'll get to that later. That's it for today and next book I will be Reviewing is The Sea Of Monsters, or The Sorcers Stone. Goodbye!

I WANT JINX 2!!

I just finished JINX, by Sage Blackwood. This book was about a guy named Jinx. He can see the color your thoughts !!! So I am going to see if there is a JINX 2. This book had a lot of mythological creatures. There is this place called Urwald, where the story takes place. It has 360 pages and it took me three days to finish.  I got this one from my school library. I just pulled it off the shelf, read the back, and said to myself "This sounds like a good book".  It was almost as good as the Rick Riodian series! 

First ever post!

As I sat trying to figure out what my first blog post should be . Then it hit me , what's better than the Rick Riodian series!! These are the books I own of the four series. This series started out to be a teacher resource for Mythology. I found that out on Rick Riodian.com. My favorite one in all the series is The Mark Of Athena. The rest of the books I read from the library. While I read these books I imagine in my head what they would be like in movies and theme parks! This is my first post, but keep following here on Blogger if you would like to read my assessments on the series.
