House of Secrets: Clash of the Worlds (House of Secrets Series Book 3)

House of Secrets: Clash of the Worlds (House of Secrets Series Book 3)

By Chris Columbus, Ned Vizzini, Chris Rylander

In this book (you can probably tell) the to worlds (the book world and the normal world) collide. And that is because when the wind witch (dahelia) got rid of the storm king (her father) the barrier between the to worlds failed. Brendan Eleanor and Cordelia had to bring the Storm kind back to life so he could tell them how to fix the barrier. He tells them to get the three world keepers from three different books in the book world. Before they set off on there journey they went to the book world and found a town. They made a few friends in the book before setting off away from the town. Cordelia went to the bottom of the sea to get one of the world keepers and Brenden went to another town where he had to find another world keepers (with the help of and alien) and Eleanor was on planet 5X (a very unsafe place) to find the final world keeper. The world keeper that's always moving. But the world keeper is somewhere you would not at all expect it to be but I'm not going to spoil that for any of you! I have not finished the book yet so I can't say much more about it except Eleanor gets tricked and possibly I don't know yet (remember I have not read all of it) Stays with the evil! Or leaves it. I'm going to figure that out soon. . . If you read this I hope it encourages you to read this book or book series just maybe you should start from the first book. Love you homies! ;>

Airborn 10th Anniversary Edition

Airborn 10th Anniversary Edition

By Kenneth Oppel

I had to read this book for school, and it started out a little boring, so I thought I wasn't going to like it very much. It still is not one of my favorite books, but the plot is really nice. Matt, the main character, lives on the airship where he works, which is called the Aurora. Matt feels most comfortable when he is in the air, and he never wants to leave, but we all know that there has to be something that goes wrong! He has a dream of flying the Aurora one day, but when Kate comes into the picture she becomes a distraction to Matt and his responsibilities. She shows him a diary that connects to an event in Matt's past that has been haunting his dreams for 2 years. Many obstacles come in the way of Matt's dream, as well as Kate's dream that conflicts strongly with Matt's. Through pirates, storms, snakes, cloud cats, airships, bones, hydrium, mangoes, and first kisses, Matt and Kate are there for each other through the newest discovery of their time. This book turned out to be very exciting if you can get through the first couple chapters. The author writes very descriptively and paints wonderful pictures in your mind, and I would recommend this to middle school readers who like realistic fiction with a little twist of fantasy. Kenneth Oppel was also very clever when he picked the title for his book, can you find what the double meaning is?

Misty of Chincoteague (Korea Edition)

Misty of Chincoteague (Korea Edition)

By Marguerite Henry

Marguerite Henry writes wonderful books about horses, and this one is by far my favorite. It is about a brother and sister named Paul and Maureen who have their hearts set on buying the horse that everyone calls Phantom. They want to buy her at the annual Pony Penning Day. For years no one has been able to catch her because she always slips out of their grasp and is believed to be a "Phantom". But this year Paul is finally old enough to go over to Chincoteague island and round up the horses with all the other men. The stakes aren't exactly fair for the Phantom though, because she has a colt! Paul and Maureen have saved enough money for the Phantom, but they hadn't realized they would have to buy the colt too. This is a great story that shows you that not everything is meant to be in captivity, some things are just wild.

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

By Jonathan Swift

Luke Cummins

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.
