Mister Monday by Garth Nix

This book is about a boy called Arthur, who was supposed to die on a Monday. A part of the Will escapes, and makes Arthur become the heir of Monday. As a result, Arthur gets hold of the minute Key, but Mister Monday sends Nithlings to get Arthur. The Nithlings spread diseases over the city, so Arthur goes to the House and goes through the adventures and fights Monday. Finally, he becomes the new Monday, and cures the disease.

This book is very exciting, and it is quite different from other books because all of the adventure happens in only a day. I enjoyed reading this, and I think all of the people should read this!!

Percy Jackson- Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson series is the books that I am still reading now. Those books are really good and I strongly want to recommend them if you likes those fantasy and adventures. The book that I want to write about is the first book of the series which is ‘the Lighting Thief’.

This book is a complete fantasy story that cannot be happening in the real world at all. This is a story about a boy called Percy Jackson who’s the son of the Sea God, Poseidon. One day, Percy goes to the half-blood camp which is the camp that half human and the half god people are going. They are trained to become a true hero, but Percy, who’s the son of the big three, has a big power to attract monsters. The old prophecy says that when he becomes 16, he will have a great power to either get rid of the god or help the gods.

Few days later, Percy gets a suspicious that he stole a lighting bolt of Zeus, the greatest god’s property. So, Percy goes on a trip to find the real robbery of the lighting bolt and get out of the suspicious. On the trip, he goes with Annabeth and Grover. Annabeth is the daughter of Athena, and Grover is the satyr (a goat person).

Firstly, Percy thinks that the person who stole the lightning bolt was Hades but within some time, he discovers that Kronos asked Luke to steel the lighting bolt. Luke is the son of one of the god but father/mother of him didn’t announce him as a real son so he stayed at the Hermes’ cabinet which is the cabinet for those people like Luke.

Finally, Percy finds a lighting bolt and goes to Olympus, which is the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. Percy finishes his quest with success and the story ends.

This story was really interesting and fun because I like the way the author writes the story.

This book is on the library as well so I recommend you to borrow and read this!!

Zac Power: Swamp Race

This is a really good book because of its complex plots about how a kid saves the world just by very small steps, such as new gagets like the special type of armor which has a electric current around him, or even just a lazer whip.

The book tells a story about a boy named Zac who is sent a mission to retrieve a bunch of blue prints to a special x-ray which allows you to see through walls. Later in the story he finds out he has to compete against a enemy agent (from a company named .B.I.G.) named Caz. The two agents must race to the finish line but they both must work together or else they will die.

Saving Private Ryan

I post this last year but I don't think the blog was good enough so I wrote it again =))

I read the book and watched the movie but i don't know which came first.

The story started with the intense battle at Omaha Beachead Assualt(simply a battle).

It is a very good book. It was set during the Invasion of Normandy in World War II(2). The plot of the story is about a Private(soldier) called James Francis Ryan is lost and there was a sqad(team) looking for him. Ryan and his three brothers was in the war but sadly both his brothers has been KIA(Killed In Action). The search become more hard when they croosed over Normandy territory. The reason the commander has ordered the team to save private Ryan because of the sake of Ryan's mother(she recieved three notices in a day about the death of three brothers and a notice about Ryan being MIA or missing in action).

The team wasn't happy about this because why would we risk 8 lives for 1 but they went on the mission anyway. The team was lead by Captain John H Miller(Tom Hanks). Vin Diesel was also in the movie but sadly he was wounded by a sniper and die. The funny part in the book was when they found a soldier who was also called James Fredrick Ryan. When the captain talked about the news of his brothers and the soldier replied that they were in kindergarden.

Overall, this is a very good book, it uses a lot of military language, which was suitable.

The Curious Incidnet of the Dog in the Night-time :)

This book is about a 15-year-old autistic boy whose name is Christopher Boone. Christopher is a genius at Maths. He loves prime numbers. He hates yellow and he would never eat anything that is yellow.. Christopher was told by his father-Ed Bonne that his mother has died long ago, so he now lived with his father.

Christopher discovered dead body of Wellington, his neighbour's dog, speared by a garden fork. Christopher was very suspicious about the death of the dog. He decided to investigate the dog's death, despite his father's order to stay out of other people's business. Through his adventures, he decided to record his experiences in a book called " a murder mystery novel." During this investigation, he met peple who he has never encountered, including people who lived on the same street as him.

Ed, Christopher's father has found out about the book, so he hid it from Christopher, after a fight going on between them. Looking for the book that his father had hidden, Christopher has discovered a trove of letters which his mother wrote to him, dated after her supposed death, which means that his father has lied to him about Mother's death.

Why did Father lied to him? Does it mean Mother is still alive? Who killed Wellington??

If you want to know then well, read the book!! It's a really good book and I Love It! :)

KISS

This book was written by Jacqueline Wilson. Jacqueline Wilson’s book was quite interesting and fun and this was in my expectation.

This book is a story about two friends who used to play with each other since they were very young and their friendships begins to break up. Do they going to recover their friendships?

Sylvie and Carl, who are the best friends, they played for a long time and call each other girl friend and boy friend and they have their own story that they wish to publish this book. They act those stories to make a smooth story but since those stories were made since they were young, those stories are too childish for them as they are teenagers.

As they grow up and up, they begin to change as they try to make other close friend. Carl tries to make a new friend called Paul, who’s good at sports and Sylvie try to have another friend called Miranda who’s a rich girl with many friends. One day, Carl, Paul, Miranda and Sylvie go bowling and Sylvie is jealous with Paul as they are quite close each other. Sylvie’s friend, Miranda tries to know many things about Carl and come to Carl and Sylvie’s glass house. Glass house was the secret play of Carl and Sylvie since they were young and they kept a lot of reminiscences on there. On Carl’s birthday, Miranda gives him a present of the glass toy which Carl loves a lot. Miranda invites Sylvie to her house and they get closer to each other.

One day, Sylvie, Carl, Miranda and Paul went somewhere together and they are separated into Carl and Paul, Sylvie, and Miranda. The day after, there was a big accident as the glass house is collapsed and Carl gets little bit of injury. Sylvie and Miranda take care of Carl carefully and Sylvie realizes their friendship. Sylvie and Carl realize that they really love each other and end their fantasy story with this. ‘And King Carlo and Queen Sylviana will always live together and love each other.’

This book had quite interesting story and I liked this story as they are best friends.

Twilight Sucks

Twilight is one of the worst saga in human history, because it is to predictable and the villians are'nt much of bad guys because of there crazy ideas such as drinking bellas blood and drinking bellas blood. She isn't the only human in the book.

It has people wondering what happen when they already knows what will happen.

The book shows a bad influnece to small children who read this book ,such as my very small sister.The book discribes the bad things about blood, suiside and things which shouldn't say.

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan

This is the third book of Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Percy Jackson is a half-blood – half human, half god, whose father is Poseidon. This year is the third year being a camper in Camp Half-Blood, where the half-bloods get trained for the real life. Grover, his friend satyr, makes an urgent call to Percy, Annabeth and Thalia telling that he found two powerful half-bloods, so they are on the way.

When they reach there, they find not only the half-bloods, but also falls into the trap which Kronos, the Titan lord hoping to overthrow the Olympians, set up. As a result, they lose Annabeth and return to Camp Half-Blood.

With the Hunters they met when they lost Annabeth, Percy goes onto a quest to find Artemis and Annabeth, while preventing the fall of Olympians. When they reach there, they find out that the sky is under Artemis, not Atlas. They go on a fight against Atlas and the army of Kronos, and manage to make Atlas go back to his place.

I found this book quite interesting, especially the part where it says that the Gods of Olympus are still alive. The story matches perfectly into the real life, making me think that the story is true. The story moves fast, making your hands go wet. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. I think everybody should read it!!!!!!!!!

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

*By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle*

The book "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is a complete edition of all-time released Sherlock Holmes' stories and adventures. When I started to read this book, I didn't expect it to be interesting for me as I was never that kind of detective fan. But as I started reading through the chapters, my passion for book genres has changed a little. This book of Sherlock Holmes completely dragged me inside its stories, keeping me there, till 30 pages were read at least. Each of the story was totally unique, leaving in me different feeling after each read story. After each story, I kept on being surprised how Sherlock Holmes, with his companion Doctor Watson, solved unsolvable mysteries. But, of course, unsolvable only from our point of look. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially then to adults as sometimes, I had to read some of the stories twice and occasionally thrice as they were really difficult to understand. So as I have just written, if you are above the age of 13, sometimes 14 years, I would warmly recommend this book to you.

The Godfather- Part 1.

The Godfather is a crime book which was written by an American Author called Mario Puzo. It was published in 1969 and attracted a lot of success and awards. It tells a story about 4 Mafia families living in eastern America who hated each other so much that no one in each family could talk about the tradition, value and background to the others. This is called " Omno Fostro"-The rule of silence.

Going deeper into the book, there was a family who had a father called Don Vito Corleone, who was respected and treated like a monarch. This is because in a mafia family's tradition the leader or father, if you like, has to be at the top, so therefore, all the power and things he has done have to be succeded by his son/daughter. Don Vito Corleone had a son called Michael, who engaged to an American woman called Kay Adams, and the wedding between two took place successfully with a lot of relatives and other people involved. Corleone's counterpart, Luca Brasi also joined the wedding. Brasi was a man who was always seen to be an unemotional, cold, massive- skulled with a lot of cunnings and tricks. He looked squat, small in appearance like Charlie Chaplin and a lip with a lifeless, pale veal colour. Don Corleone sometimes said that he was still afraid of his appearance when someone mentions about Luca. So, after the wedding finished, Corleone invited Brasi to his room to talk about businesses between two people. Like the book has said, Corleone was the "king" of the family, so Brasi, after talking to him, had to hug him in a nice, respectful way and kiss loyal, admiring kiss on his hand. Then, Brasi went out of his car and went home.
This book actually has 3 parts in total. However, if I summarise all details of the book it would be very long. So next week I will write about part 2 and tell you more exciting details. Even though I have just read one part of the book, I really like it. The plot is believable, logical and authentic. The characters in the book seem to act professionally. There is a film version of the novel so I would like you to buy a DVD and watch it. Thank you.

Wolf Island (Book 8 of The Demonata Series)

If you haven't already known, this series is all about demons, werewolves, and magic. Personally, I like this series very much.
Firstly, I like it because I love the cliff-hangings-I think every good book must have cliff-hangings that leaves the reader hungry for more-and this author provides and excellent source which will leave you glued in your seat and hungry for more...
I also like this book because of all the actions-I prefer books with lots of actions. There are a lot of killing demons and being killed by demons. The author has a great imagination on how to describe the demons as horrendous creatures and magic as a great aspect of life and how it could ruin a person's life. (Just like Grubbs)
Unfortunately, the only thing I don't like about this series is that it isn't scary. Don't believe the back cover when it says "Warning: This book is extremely scary" or something similar to that. This book's genre is more like action.
And now, I'm going to fill you in about the plot. The plot of Wolf Island is as followed...
The werewolf curse of the Gradys are returning with a vengeance and it is stealing Grubbs Grady's humanity. In Wolf Island, Grubbs and his allies will venture into an island full of werewolves called "Wolf Island" in order to find the connection between The Lambs and The Shadow. The journey is full of peril and Death is never out of reach. Can Grubbs come out alive with his humanity intact? Read the book for more...

The Ashleys

The Ashleys
Melissa de la Cruz


The Ashleys got everything. Looks, money and popularity. They rule Ms Gamble's Preparatory School for Girls. The reason why they are all called The Ashleys is because the 3 girls are all named Ashley; Ashley Spencer, Ashley Alioto (A.A), Ashley Li (Lili). Lauren Page has gone to the same school with them all time and she remembers how they bullied her everyday since prekindergarten. But Lauren has totally changed. You can name it a makeover. A 500 dollar haircut along with her shiny new Chanel spectator oxfords. Lauren's plan is to get along with The Ashleys and destroy them. Slowly. Look out Ashleys, there's a new name in school. Enjoy!

---

I really LOVE The Ashleys series. Its just like reading 11 year olds, just like you, behaving like girls from 90210. And yes, Lauren does become one of The Ashleys, but not for long. At the end of the book, there is an unexpected twist. This book is full of surprises. And if you like reading Gossip Girl, you might want to read this book! Basically, all books by Melissa de la Cruz are AWESOME. Totally addictive.
