This is the second part of the Artmeis series. In this book Artemis finds out about his father and tries to save him but he's not the only one with problems. Back at the LEP the fairies were having a hard time. So then Artemis and his old rival, Holly unites to help each other. Artemis would help the LEP stop the trolls from overthrowing them, when the one responsible for this was one of their very own officers. artmeis and Holly then stops Briar Cudgeon and his "queen" Opal Koboy and heads to the arctic. In the arctic Artemis' father, who had been missing for several years, was taken hostage by the Mafia. Artemis manages to save his father with tricks and shooting his father...but it ddin't to too much harm because his father already lost a leg and had several wounds everywhere. So then they all get back home and lived their normal lives once again.

My opinion on this book, like the other Artemis Fowl books, was two thumbs up. It was obviously very creative and was entertaining to read.

The Series of Unfortunate Events : §The Bad Beginning§

Title : The Bad Beginning
Author : Lemony Sniket
ISBN: 0-06-440766-7

One day Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, the three Baudelaires, were at Briny Beach and hear unfortunate news from Mr. Poe, that their house caught fire and killed their house and destroyed all their possesions.They have no one else to live with except Mr. Poe so they stay with his family, while Mr. Poe finds a suitable guardian for them. He finally finds Count Olaf who is either their "third cousin four times removed" or "fourth cousin three times removed."
Very Unfortunately Count Olaf is a greedy♨ man. He forces the children to do very long chores. He strikes Klaus in the face.
He also wants Violet to play his bride, and tells them that Justice will play the judge that marries the happy couple. But Klaus found out Count Olaf's plan, that he will marry Violet through play!But according to the law the bride has to sign a document by right hand but she signed it with left hand, which means the wedding is off!!
Justice Strauss said that she will take care of the Baudelairs, but Mr. Poe tells her that a relative must take care of the children. Then Mr. Poe drives the children to their next guardian.
I like this series of books, but the most impressive book was The Bad Beginning, this book was more interesting than any other series. And the event with the Count Olaf was more catchy than other books. And this book is so clever with the events.

I really enjoyed this book becuase it was sad and fun. I really liked how the story ended becuase it got me thinking .

I recommend this book to students in 7th grade and up becuase 6th grade and down will not probably get the whole story. Some materials are just way to much to handle for younger readers.

THE PENULTIMATE PERIL

Title: The Series of Unfortunate Events- The Penultimate Peril
Author: Lemony Snicket
ISBN-13: 978-0-06-441015-1
ISBN-10: 0-06-441015-3

The story starts with Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, waiting for a taxi to pick them up and take them to Hotel Denouement. While, the Baudelaires are waiting Count Olaf and other vilians, and members of V.F.D. join together at Hotel Denoument for a very special event. The Baldelaires finally is picked-up and taken to the hotel where they have to work as concierges. At the hotel they met the managers, who are triplets!(*hint: One of the triplets is evil and the other two are helping the Baudelaires orphans), Count Olaf, and other fishy people.While, working at the hotel will the Baudelaires uncover the the secrets of V.F.D.? Will they find the Quagmire triplets? Will Count Olaf defeat them once and for all?

I thought this book was really great! It got me really thinking because everything doesn't happen in order so you have to remember the things that happened in the beginning, middle, and end. Also, I really wanted to know what happened to the Baudelaire Orphans.

I really recommened this book to people who are interested into mystery and problem-solving books. Also, to people who like to read fun books because once you get started with this books you don't want to stop reading it.

Among The Hidden

Title: Among The Hidden
Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix
ISBN: 0689824750

Among The Hidden is about an overpopulated world that the government is trying to resolve.They did this by making a law saying that every family was only allowed to have two children at the most. This story is about how the Garner family did have a third child and kept Luke Garner in hiding at all times by keeping him in the house. When the Barons, a rich class of the government, moves in next door to the Garners, Luke finds out that they too have a "third child." After days of thinking if he should go and meet the third child, he risks his life to go meet Jen Talbot. Jen is forming a group to protest against the government by bringing all thrid children together. When Luke gets invited, he shockingly decided not to go. As he worries about his new friends fate, he cant help but think something terrible is going to happen..

I do like the book, I have read all of the other series. I do not like the fact that in the book they limited how many children a family was allowed to have. There was so much violence in it, that it made me really sad to have to erad about it.

Title: Castle in the Air
Author: Dianna Wynne Jones
ISBN: 0-06-447345-7

This book is similar to the story of Aladdin. So, a poor carpet dealer named Abdullah lives in the city of Zanzib. One day his boring old life changes, thanks to a mysterious traveler. He sells Abdullah a magic carpet. That very night, something strange happens to Abdullah. When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he finds himself in an unfamiliar place. As his eyes begin to wonder around what he thinks is a dream, a woman approches him. This is where he meets the princess for the first time. One day, a djnn appears and takes the princess to be one of his many wives. He makes a wise choice to go rescue his princess. Along his journey to where he thinks the djnn might be resting, he encounters people who later become very useful to him.

This was an interesting book, although some parts I didn't enjoy much. I liked how some of the characters made it into this book and had an important part. I also likes how Abdullah's relatives held him back from the recue mission by setting him up to get married with one of the two ugly princesses. One thing I didn't like was how the battle between the djnn and the princesses and Abdullan. I think others will like thid book because I liked it.

The Slippery Slope

Title: A Series of Unfortunate Events- The Slippery Slope
Author: Lemony Snicket
ISBN: 0-06-441013-7

The book starts out with Violet and Klaus speeding down the Mortmain Mountains with no way of controlling the caravan. Sunny has been taken by Count Olaf and is forced to cook and clean for him and his revolting troupes. After they save themselves by creating a drag chute out of a hammock and brakes out of sticky kitchen sauces, Violet and Klaus set out to look for Sunny. On the way they meet a group of Snow Scouts including Carmelita Spats, a nasty girl they had met at Prufrock Preparatory School and hoped to never see again. She had made life miserable for the Baudelaires at the academy, calling them names and getting them into trouble. After hearing her voice, Violet and Klaus began to consider leaving the cave and going back out to the swarm of terrifying snow gnats. They decided to stay and also discovered someone they had thought died in a fire. Who the Baudelaires thought were the Quagmire twins turned out to be the Quagmire triplets. Quigley Quagmire had been thought dead when he went missing after a fire. Together, the three friends discovered the remains of the VFD Headquarters, uncovered secrets about the Baudelaire's parents, and tried to decode what exactly the sugar bowl was. And of course they still have to save Sunny from Count Olaf and avoid his treacherous plots to steal their fortune.

I thought this was a pretty good book filled with suspense and all kinds of twists. Though it probably doesn't have as much action as some of the other books in the series, it is still very interesting. The Baudelaires discover many secrets and find out a lot about VFD and their parents in this book. Some of their questions have been answered but as they learn more, a whole new field of questions, riddles, and codes appear leaving them still confused. This book had more puzzles and putting information together than action, but still had some thrills.

Then Jesse realized she didn't drink water, and he left.

I really liked this stroy. It was pretty interesting, because it was different type of fantasy book. This book had a huge time distance, and showed the different back ground from different time period.

Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception

Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception
by: Eoin Colfer
ISBN: o-439-80368-3

In the last book Artemis was mind-wiped so he forgot all about fairies and underground fairy cities,but one fairy still remembers him and is planning revenge. In the beginning of this book Artemis steals a painting called "The Fairy Thief", but when he starts to examine it in his hotel room his fairy rival tries to assassinate him. Butler saves Artemis but Artemis still gets severely wounded but Holly, who has already been attacked by the same fairy, heals him. The fairy captures them both and leaves them to die in the middle of an unused theme park crawling with trolls. Butler ,whom Holly couldn't save because of his bulk, tries to find Mulch to help him find Artemis. During all this the fairy tries to get humans in contact with fairies to wipe out her own kind. She has transformed herself into a human girl. After Mulch and Butler save Artemis and Holly they try to stop the humans from discovering faries. You'll have to read this book to find out who Artemis's enemy is and to see if they stop humans from discovering fairies.

The thing I like most about this book is all the plot twists especially when someone very close to Holly dies. Other people might like how two geniuses fight to see who is smarter.

Lemony Snicket

The Grim Grotto is the eleventh book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. This book is a continuation of the previous book. In this story the orphans rides a submarine and The captain, sends them and his stepdaughter Fiona off to find the sugar bowl, which is something important. The signifigance of this bowl is unknown. To get the sugar bowl, the three orphans and Fiona must go to the Medusan Grotto. It was a place that was inhabited by a poisonous variety of fungus, and is a place of disaster. The Baudelaire orphans do not find the sugar bowl, but Violet discovers some information about the captain and suggests that they may be in great danger. Find out why and what might happen throughout the story!

I wasn't really in to this book but it was okay. It showed how the orphans help each other to get out of bad situations and they try all their best. They always cooperate with each other. During the worse conditions, they would always find their way out.

The Witches

Title: The Witches
Author: Roald Dahl
ISBN:0-14-031730-9

This book is about witches. The book tells us how to recognize a real witch. Real witches dont ride on a broom or even wear silly black hats. They dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS! The witches hates childrens so much that they will do anything to get rid of them. They will work all kinds of horrible spells to get rid of them. But a little boy and his magical grandma is aware of witches. The grandma tells her little grandson about witches. She even told him what they even look like and what they hate the most. But then one day, when the little boy goes up to his old tree house. He meets a witch. They witch said that she had something to give him, which was a small, green snake. But they boy refused to go down. And in the end the little boy meets the actual GRAND HIGH WITCH face to face!

I like the part when the boy meets the Grand High Witch and the part when the grandma tells the little boy how witches really look like. The grandma was being really descriptive. There is a movie to this book but i suggest the book is better, because i thought that the book was way different from the movie. I thought that book was really funny and interesting. It gives alot of details that i can imagine what was happening right away. But the part that i didnt like about the story was when the childrens falled for the treats and they were killed by the witches. I really enjoyed this book and think that people who are really interested in witches should read this book.

THE THIEF LORD

The Thief Lord
Author: Cornelia Funke
ISBN: 0-439-42089-X

Tis story is about two brothers (Prosper and Bo) that run away from their aunt. They endedup with her because their parents died. Their mom told them about Venice when she was alive so they went there. They met a gang that was lead by The Thief Lord that was just a kid. One day the guy that bought the stuff they stole told them about an old man that wanted a favor. They met the old man and tried to steal a wooden wing but the owner of the wing caught them but let them have it. They gave the wing to the old man and they found out it was part of an enchanted ferris wheel that made you younger or older. The old man became younger but the Thief Lord wanted to become older so that is what happened.
Prosper and Bo escape their aunt and stay in Venice.

I may have made this story sound boring but it is really good. It’s like a fantasy in the 21st century. I thought it was cool that a kid steals a whole bunch of stuff but later you find out he just stole them from his house so it becomes uncool but the twist in the end makes up for all the uncoolness that the fake Thief Lord mad.

King Arthur and the knights of the round table

Title : King Arthur and the knigts of the round table.
Author : Thomas Malory
ISBN : 0-582-421187


Nobody knows who is an author of this story but there are two people who are known for writing this story. One of them is Thomas Malory who wrote this story. When i read this
story, it was so interesting. I didn't watch a movie before i've read this. That's why this
book was so interesting to me.
There was a king who lived in Britain between the years 400 and 600. He fought the
Saxons, from countries in the north of Europe and perhaps this king was Arthur. At that
time people were interested in magic, knights and their ladies. That's why people fought
with swords and use magic in these stories. Arthur was an one person who pulled the sword
out of the stone. Many people tried to pull out however they couldn't even move the sword.
They went back to the place outside the church, and Sir Ector Put the sword in the stone
again. Then he asked Arthur try to pull it out. Arthur pulled it out . It came out as easily as a
knife out of butter. Sir Ector saw this and took Arthur's hand. Then Sir Ector said him,
"You are my king". From that day, Arthur became a king .
One day, King Arthur went to somewhere and there was a queen named Queen Annoure.
She was so lonely therefore she tried to make him stay together. However he opposed to
do that. Queen Annoure felt so annoying and she asked Sir Pellinore kill King Arthur. Sir
Pellinore tried to kill him before he noticed that he was King Arthur . He cried and asked him
do not kill him. King Arthur was a brilliant person so he just let him run away.
He was a brilliant king before he was dead. He said to his knight that he would come
again one day when his country asked for him. He was on the boat and he said like
that to his knight. Those words were the King's last words. The boat went out across the water.
Sir Bedivere was so sad .
This book told me that King Arthur was brave man. He solved the problems very seriously.
I think if we read this book once, then we might want to read this book again. This means that
this book remains lots of things for me. We might have the suffering at that moment, we can
borrow his thinking and his decision. I think it might be effected to our lives.

The Cross And The Switch Blade

Title: The cross and the switchblade
Author: David Wilkerson, John and Elizabeth Sherrill
ISBN: 0-8007-9070-7

This is a true story written by David Wilkerson. He have experienced all kinds of miracles by God. He was a preacher in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. One day, he was reading a article about the Dragon gang in New York. The Holy Spirit inspired him to go help the gang members turn back to God. So he travels to New York right away without even having a plan. He knew he doesn't need any plan ,because God is working with him. He tried to evangelize the members of the gangs. He was suggested by Maria, who was a member of the Dragon gang but realized how much God loves her, to go to Brooklyn Bridge to see New York at its worst. He evangelizes a lot of gang members. Later he wants to form a Teen Challenge Center where they could bring boys and girls who needed special help. They would live in an atmosphere of discipline and affection. They would watch Christians living together, working together. But David didn't have any money except for 100 dollars in his account, and he didn't have any people who would help him by working in the Teen Challenge Center without being payed. He prays to God, somehow he manages to earn 12,200 in just one month. Isn't that cool? God works in your life somehow, but we don't realize the work of God. We have to thank God everyday and every moment. I personally think this book is very cool. This shows how God works in our lives and it is the first book about a Christian life. I recommend you to read this book, because there are many things you can learn from this book.

Summary: Harry was having a rest in his flower bed just outside his room window, because he

wanted to stay away from his aunt and uncle. One night when Dudley came back home from his

friend a dementor came and attack Harry and Dudley and Harry had to use Patronus to get them

Alex Rider is a teenager spy, he was always been told he is the spitting image of his father he never knew. In the beginning of the book Alex Rider is in Venice with is best friend tom Harris. Alex only reason in Venic was to find Scorpia, the most lethal and powerful terrorist organization in the world.

Later Alex finds out that Scorpia ultimate weapon "The Invisible Sword" that will result thousands of people dying. In the end Alex finds his parent, but is shot by an assassin hired from Scorpia...

I enjoyed this book because every page was exciting and had thrilling adventures. Alex always faces danger and quick-turning escape. That a teenager is an internation spy for UK and saving the world from wars and destructions. Alex's adventure never ends or bores readers that love to read action/adventure books

Author: Roald Dahl

ISBN:0-14-032869-6

*Book summary

They ate bread for breakfast, cabbage for lunch and cabbage soup for supper.They don't have enough money but a family and love. One of his granpas worked in Mr.Wonka's factory. Charlie was interest in him so he asked a lot thing about him to his granpa. Mr.Wonka is a owner of the greatest and the most famous chocolate factory in the world. Not very long ago, there used to be thousands of people working in his factory. One day, he had to ask every workers to leave his factory, never come back, because of spies. Then he shut the factroy but few months later, it has been opened again. The place was full of workers but there was no one who goes in and comes out. Nobody didn't know what is going on in the factory. One day Mr.Wonka announced that only five children who find golden ticket from his chocolate will be allowed to go inside of the factory. The first finder was a boy called Augustus Gloop. He was a fat pig who would eat anything. The second finder was Veruca Salt. As soon as she told his father that she wanted to have one of those Golden Ticket, his father bought thousands of Mr.Wonka's candy bar and ordered his workers to start shelling the wrappers off these bars. That was the reason she could get one. Two more ticket were taken by Violet Beauregarde, a gum-chewing gabber, and Mike Teavee, a devil of television. And the last ticket was found by Charlie Bucket at a small shop. In Mr.Wonka's Factory, those five children and their parents saw Oompa-Loompas, workers in his factory. They aren't higher than a normal person's knee. Augustus Gloop kept drinking chocolate river eventhough Mr.Wonka said not to do. In one second, he had disappeared under the brown chocolate surface. In Great Gum Machine room, Violet swelled up and become a blueberry because she kept chewing a gum which Mr.Wonka said her to spit it out. In the Nut room, Veruca was sent to incinerator because she tried to get one of his squirrels. She was supposed not to do. Mike Teavee was sent by Television. when his father found him, he was as big as his father's hand because he went, eventhough Mr.Wonka said not to go. Charlie was the only one who left and he've won. As a prize, Mr.Wonka asked Charlie to become owner of his factory. So Mr.Wonka, Grandpa joe, another grandpa George, Grandma Georgina, another Grandma Josephine went into the factory to stay forever.

*Opinion - It's the most extraordinary book I've ever read. I could leared a lot from five each single children's story. Charlie Bucket, a poor boy, touched my heart. I was kind of proud of him by being honest, kind and brave enough himself. Even though Mr.Wonka isn't kind, I like the way he talks. He enjoys everything and he is such a genious. I think human being's abillity isn't limited. I also could think about how stupid some kids are like most of kids from this book.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
By: Mildred D. Taylor
ISBN: 014034893

This book is about a girl named Cassie Logan and her family. Her family is African American and throughout the book she tries to understand why white people are so different from them. Most black people don't have land of their own, so the Logans were pretty fortunate. But because of racism, things get harder and harder for them to actually keep the land that the family had worked so hard to get. As the story goes on, Cassie's Uncle Hammer and other people think that it is time to use viloence to stop the predjudice. Cassie's father firmly believes in non-viloence though. Now that the price for cotton has gone down, the family works twicw as hard, and to stay away from violence, Cassie's dad keeps up with the mortgage as best he can. Uncle Hammer does not think that keep paying the mortgage would do it, so one day he gets into some trouble and reats to it extremely violent...

I like the book, but I really thought that it started out boring. It did not really pull me in right away. It had so much racism in it and it just really made me sad, but then again, i thought it was good that I read it because it makes you realize alot of things that happened that was just so unfair.

*_The Bar Code Tatoo_*

*_title: The Bar Code Tatoo
*_author: Suzanne Weyn
*_ISBN: 0-439-39562-3

*__This book starts out with a girl named Kayla. She is your normal teenage girl, and she's is turning 16 soon. Her best friend who already had her birthday got a tatoo. This was the most popular "thing" that everybody was getting.The tatoo is not an ordinary tatoo, its a tatoo that has EVERYTHING about you. This tatoo has everything about you that might put you in danger. Well Kayla thinks this tatoo thing is all stupid and that the tatoo is invading people's personal life. She keeps thinking about it when suddently out of no where, her father is killed because of it. Therefore, she hated the tatoo. She wanted to find out what this tatoo really is....

*__The first time I saw this book, it kind of scared me, because the picture looked freaky. But after I've read it, it didnt turn to be scary at all. To me, this book wasn't the greatest book, but it was good. I wanted to try a different type of book that normally I wouldn't read. So this ended up being it. This book was interesting because it talks about an harmless thing that put anyone in a lot of danger. So this was kind of mysterious and entertaining.

Tangerine

Title: Tangerine

Author: Edward Bloor

ISBN: 0-590-43277-X

Summary: Paul Fisher's life gets worse after he moves from his house in Texas to a crowded little neighborhood in Florida. His life seems to go downhill because people are dying all around him. Paul is the only one who seems to see the true monster in Erik, his brother. Erik has this great football dream, where he is this great football star. Paul, who played as goalie for the soccer team, doesn’t get attention from his father. Paul was crippled by looking straight into an eclipse at the age of 3 and is not eligible to play on the school soccer team because he is legally blind, when in fact he sees it the other way. Paul knows that he can see great, and his mother knows it also. Paul later learns the horrible truth about Erik.
Opinion: The book sucked. The book was pointless, and it didn’t have a moral. It was unrealistic because Erik committed a bunch of crimes and didn’t get punished. Even though the family of the murdered man knows who killed him, they wait several weeks to tell the police.

THE UNSEEN HELPER~!

Title: THE HORSE and HIS BOY
Author: C.S. LEWIS
ISBN: 0-590-25477-4

This story is set in the world of Narnia during the time that King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund and Queen Lucy reigned. Shasta lives in Calormen, but he doesn’t look like the other Calormenes around him. One night, he learns that the fisherman he lives with is not his father and found him in a boat as a baby. He hears the fisherman haggling with a Calormene lord, a Tarkaan, to sell Shasta into slavery. The Tarkaan’s horse surprises Shasta by talking to him and suggesting to run away to Narnia together.The horse, Bree, is a talking horse from Narnia who was taken captive. Shasta and Bree join with other travelers and find the escape to be hard. It dosn’t have any magic in it, since it doesn’t have the magic of anyone being transported to Narnia. However, Aslan himself appears and we see his hand, or his paw shaping events and leading Shasta to his destiny.

To write my opinion of this book, this is an exciting adventure story. I was especially pleased to see the connection between how Aslan the lion guided Shasta’s journey after his loss of family and how God shows his providence to us Christians. I think the story did a good job to illustrate a Christian massage of God’s fatherhood through the character of Aslan. One of the parts in the story that struck me the most is when Shasta and Bree with their companions crossed the river, the unseen roar of the lion from the forest pushed them forward. Sometimes God urges us forward in life through difficult situations. Although we cannot see Him, he is always there helping us move forward. Therefore I would recommend this book to other friends who don’t believe in God because it explains well how God loves us and that we can trust Him.

Unlikely Angel

Title: Unlikely Angel

Author: Ashley Smith

ISBN: 0-310-27067-7

Summary:
What would you do when a murderer held you hostage?!
What if you were a mother to a little girl?!
What if your life was in crisis?!
-----------------------------------
Ashley Smith, a 27 year old widow, never knew
she was going to be a hostage of a murderer named, Brian
Nichols. Brian Nichols, never knew he was going to be
accused and kill 4 people. No one knew, only God did. As
Brian held Ashley hostage, God worked through her to change
his heart. She tried to win his favor and become his friend. She
told him about her family life (especially about losing her husband and was being separated from her daughter) and about what
the other families were thinking of him. As he listened and learned,
his heart slightly started to change. What will happen to Ashley?!
Will he turn himself in?! Will he harm her?! Will she die?!
What's God planning?! READ TO FIND OUT!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------

Opinion:
I really liked this book because it talked about
faith and God. I especially liked that God used a Christian
to change a murderer. I also thought Ashley was
brave because she tried to befriend a murderer.
I think God was just so awesome in this book. I thought
that Ashley being a drug addict and being separated
from her daughter was a really sad thing. The final conclusion
why I really liked this book is because God used an imperfect Christian's
life to show all those doubtful people in the world.

Therefore, I recommend this book to everyone who

doubts God or doesn't believe in Him. I really do recommend this

book because it shows that EVERYONE has a purpose in their life

and that God has POWER over EVERYTHING, where he has already

planned something special for us. Also, I think this book

will help people gain more FAITH.

Perfume : The story of murderer

By. Patrick Suskind
ISBN : 0-375-72584-9

In 18th century Paris, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille one of the disgust genius who had an extraordinary ability in sense of smell born without his own scent.
Nobody didn't love him and everybody just used him. During his childhood he get many disease. However, he didn't die easily. And one day when people were celebrating succession to the throne, Grenouille smelled very unique, light but heavy, soft like a silk or milk but strong scent and it was impossible to compare to any other scent that he had smelled before. It was a scent of young girl. When he found that scent he killed the girl and took her scent. That event changed Grenouille's life completely.

I read few of Mr. Suskind's books and I always have a question about his brain structural.
Sense of smell.....
What a brilliant writing material is this! I love his ideas and imaginations.
I also love that he use that material to criticising modern urbanite. His literary style that expressing Grenouille's personality is so awesome! There is a part that Grenouille thinking himself in the cave.
He said when he had born in the heap of fish's viscera, the reason that he cried is he chose to live.
This book describe the crazy genius really cool.

Scent. The absolute being to him.
He gained the scent from other people that he doesn't have. He didn't even feel guilty about murdering
people. Instead of guilty he feel pleasure and satisfaction. The desire to things that he didn't get.
I can't imagine how it will be big.

Title: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Author: Joseph Schindelman
ISBN: 0-14-032869-6

Mr. Willy Wonka had a chocolate factory which was really popular with all people.
He produced a lot of chocolate and exported to other countries everyday, but nobody could go in to the chocolate factory. Therefore we could call it "secret place." One day, the gates of Mr. Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory were opening at last and only five children could be allowed inside. The five children who found the golden tickets from the Wonka chocolate were Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Viloet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, and Charlie Bucket. The first prizewinner Augustus was a fat boy who was interested in only eating. Vercua was a daughter of a rich man. Violet was a champion of chewing gum. Mike was a fiend for television. The last prizewinner who was honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life. Charlie was a really poor boy. Anyway, he wondered about the chocolate factory. He couldn't believe what he saw in the chocolate factory. One side, the chocolate falls were running. The other side, people who were Oompa-Loompas were shoveling chocolate to mountain of chips and crossed a chocolate river riding on the sugar boats. All children didn't care about the surprise inventions. They just had enough covetous and self-centeredness so they all made mistakes except Charlie. Therefore Mr. Willy Wonka entrusted him
his chocolate factory.

I liked this book. I actually knew about this story because I watched this movie with my friends. I also liked when I watched the movie of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love chocolate. This book was talking about chocolate. That's why I liked this book more. This book's story was awesome. It's so creative. I wish I could go in the Mr. Willy Wonka's chocolate factory so I can also see the amazing things too. If I can go there I would try to eat all chocolate like Augustus.
If you read this book, you would like to watch the movie too. Try this book!

No Childs Game

Title: No Child's Game: Reality T.V. 2083
Author: Andrea White
ISBN:006055455X

This book is a story of the future. It is a story of how kids will do almost anything just to get an education. In this book these five very different kids with very different backgrounds come together to experience the harshness of the antartic. To follow in the footsteps of a famous failure by the name of Robert F. Scott they set off for his goal. There reward is great. Something that not many kids today would want but need. Something they want more than anything in this world(you have to read it to find out what). The kids are doing this on reality t.v where they believe camera crews will be around. But "Hot Sauce" is worried for her camera crew and sets up corneal implants in the snow. Find out what happens with them.
I personnaly thought the book was good and Aundrea White had a perspective that i had never thought of about the future. How children would have to roll dice and get a certain number so that they could get a scholarship to a college or even a high school. It is also weird how she mentions that cars would not have enhanced by then but they are still the same as present day. I do also like how this book gives you a perspective on how she thinks people in the future would think about our past and the new way that they can learn about the american history through reality t.v. read it and find out. I highly recomend this book as a pleasure book even though it is sometimes hard to follow with all the flashbacks that happen.

A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time
By: Madeleine L'Engle
ISBN: 0440498058


Everyone in town thinks Meg Murry is volatile and dull-witted, and that her younger brother, Charles Wallace, is dumb. People are also saying that their physicist father has run off and left their brilliant scientist mother. Spurred on by these rumors and an unearthly stranger, the tesseract-touting Mrs Whatsit, Meg and Charles Wallace and their new friend Calvin O'Keefe embark on a perilous quest through space to find their father. In doing so, they must travel behind the shadow of an evil power that is darkening the cosmos, one planet at a time. This is no superhero tale, nor is it science fiction, titlehough it shares elements of both. The travelers must rely on their individual and collective strengths, delving deep within themselves to find answers.

I thought this book was a very interesting book, because it tells what they have learned from their adventures or their experiences. It was just a very interesting book for me.

Frank worked as a doctor, a lawyer and as a co-pilot for a major airline and travel all through the world use his fack checks. He has also broken a young ladies heart. And this was done all before his 21st birthday. But the FBI will not keep watching him do these things.
FBI agent Carl Hanratty has seeked him for years to capture Frank, but Frank was always one step ahead of him.

Many people would know this title for the movie that has been made.
But I had to read in book. As more I read, the cleverness of Frank Abagnale just stunned me!
He was definetly good at indulging in petty wiles. No... he was a genius!
And the each way that Frank escaped from Carl makes me more fall into this book.
I suggest this book to all of the students who can read this book without any difficulty.

Title: 2150 A.D.
Author: Thea Alexander
ISBN: 0-446-35649-2

Summary: The story starts out in the year 1976. The main character is Jon Lake, a veteran who had his leg amputated in the Vietnam war. He falls asleep one night and wakes up as an astral spirit in the year 2150 A.D. He is given a new, perfect body and is introduced to the Macro philosophy that guides everyone's actions in 2150 A.D. It turns out that "Micro-man" is about to destroy himself back in 1976, and he has been pulled forward in time so that he can learn the philosophy and "survive" the coming destruction. In the "Macro" world, everything is perfect, and people use psychokinesis, telepathy, etc. People in the Macro world can reincarnate after they die, so that they have another chance to learn from their experiences. Jon "wakes up" and finds that very little time has passed, and that he is still in 1976. However, he still has the memories from 2150.

His best friend, Karl, thinks that Jon is just over reacting to a dream, and he makes Jon promise that if he can't prove that the Macro world exists by showing Karl a power that he learned, he will forget about 2150 and treat it as just a dream. As he is learning his new powers, Jon discovers that he only has three months to achieve a Level 3 Macro awareness, or else he will never be able to return to 2150 in his sleep state again. When he achieves a Level 3 Macro awareness level, he will be able to stay in the year 2150 permanently, but his body will die back in 1976 when he does that.

Opinion: I thought that this was a great book, and it really catches your imagination. Once you have read this book, you will want to adopt a Macro philosophy. This book also has a romance and a good moral. It got me thinking about life and everything around me. It is a must read for everyone, and you will not be able to put it down.

Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer

In the beginning of this book Artemis Fowl and Butler,his bodyguard, meet with a billionaire named Jon Spiro to show him his latest invention the C Cube. While showing him what the C Cube could do it picks up LEP probes. Spiro asks how much money it's worth so he could buy it,but Artemis tells him it's not for sale and that he wants Spiro to invest in his soon to be Fowl Industries. Then Spiro takes the Cube from Artemis and Butler gets shot and Artemis has to save him before he dies. Artemis tells the People what he has done and they team up to break into the Spiro Needle to get the C Cube. Artemis is brought to the Spiro Needle as a prisoner. Then Holly frees him and they open the vault but just as they are about to get the Cube something happens and Artemis goes to Spiro's rival campany's headquarters to steal their technology. Spiro is captured and at the end Artemis is mind-wiped so he doesn't remember anything about the People.

I like this book because you don't know what is going to happen next or what Artemis will do next. Like when he saves Butler or tricks Spiro and when he hides a disk full of fairy files to make him remember.

Wilbur got used live in the pigpen and make friends in the barn.
One day was raining and Wilbur felt very lonely. He needed a true friend who would talk to him and play with him. Suddenly a kind voice came from the darkness. Wilbur wanted to see the owner of the voice but he couldn’t because it was cloudy and dark. When the next day’s light came up Wilbur still couldn’t see. So Wilbur called and heard a pleasant voice. Still he couldn’t see so he asked where she is. She was in the corner of the door of the barn. She was a big grey spider. Wilbur was surprised but they soon became the best friends. One day an old sheep came and told Wilbur that Mr. Arable and Mr. Zuckerman are going to kill him to make bacon and ham. Wilbur was really shocked. He was crying that he didn’t want to die. He wanted to live. Charlotte was disturbed and told Wilbur that she is going to save Wilbur. She wasn’t sure but one day an idea came up. She planned to write words in her web. She wrote “SOME PIG”, “TERRIFIC” and Wilbur became so popular that he wasn’t going to die and was served like a king. Wilbur was having happy life as a special pig and one day his friend Charlotte was about to die after she made an egg sac. Wilbur wasn’t ready to leave his best friend. But a creature can not last forever. Charlotte left the world in front of Wilbur. Wilbur who was saved by his friends never forgot Charlotte.

I loved this book. This book says about friendship on earth. I liked the way they saved their friend. I think I’m going to read this book several times more. This book wasn’t’ hard as books that my friends read. I learned that I need to be a good friend of others.
