This book's genre is fantasy and it was written by Thea Stilton. This book is about a group of 7 mice. They are all brave, fearless, strong, caring, and kind. They save fantasy lands when the lands are in trouble. On this journey, they have to save the lands precious lotus flowers! All the creatures need the lotus flowers but the mice don't know that the flowers are being destroyed for a good cause! Their journey starts in the land of Minwa where they meet many mystical creatures. The main characters are a group of friends named Thea, Paulina, Colette, Nicky, Pam, and Will. They are all brave and fearless because they go on journey's where they could get trapped or sick and they can solve any problem! For example, in the book they discover that a creature is destroying magical flowers that keep the land alive and they are risking their lives to save the fairies, creatures, and the land from all dying. Two key events that "added" to the plot is the Thea Sisters split up getting information about the plot and calmed down mean creatures and made new friends. They "added" to the plot because they made new friends who had clues so helpful that they all added up and they were able to solve problems that the Thea Sisters didn't know about. At the beginning of the story Violet was shy even in front of her friends! She was too shy to present her creation to her friends. In the middle of the story is where we saw this change. On page 193, Violet yelled, "If it is you, Umibozu, stop hitting us!" Now Violet is brave and fearless because of her actions. One unanswered question that I'd like to ask the author is did the mice have to save the fantasy land again? I enjoyed it when all the mice joined together as a team again most about this book. I enjoyed it because they all shared their clues and I put them together and made and solved a clue. I would recommend this book because it has lessons on friendship and kindness and that is very important. Many kids would enjoy this book because it built excitement for me and it could for other kids.

If you enjoyed Watership Down, Tales From Watership Down is a good choice to reunite with characters from the first book. This book is much shorter than the first and is a bit easier to understand because of the familiarity achieved by reading Watership Down. The basis of this book explains the process of creating a new warren and learning more about rabbit myths heard in the first book.

It is totally cool about Sadie meeting Annabeth fighting Serapis a mix of Greek and Egyptian who was made by Ptolemy of Alexandria. Totally Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 60% sure I've read it but, as I've said before, "I could be wrong!"! I really do think so. I may have just read the others in that!

This where the adventure started. Jesse and Daisy go to the woods to explore. Jesse find a rock and Daisy thinks it's a thunder egg. The next day it hatches into a dragon. If you want to learn more read the book!

Camryn Augustyn 11-13-2020 MCDS 4-19 Language Arts Do you like to dance? Good, because today I am going to be talking about the book Katerina Ballerina by Tiler Peck and Kyle Harris and the illustrator of this book is Sumiti Collina. The book was written in May 2020. I thought the book was well written because it captured all the action and it made me want to keep reading and reading the book! In the story, Katerina Ballerina, Katerina is the main character. The story usually took place at home, school, or ballet. But there is a problem, Katirina’s dad was running low on money to pay for her ballet lessons. When Katirina found out about that she immediately went to town and danced to make some money to pay for her ballet lessons herself, but her dad would not let her. At her ballet there was a show where you could perform a dance that you made up on stage and Katirina decided to do it with her friend, but right before they went on stage her friend got hurt, so Katirina had to do it by herself. What will happen,........SHE WON!!! And she got to take free ballet lessons. Some things that I like most about the book were it captured all the details like what they said, did, and thought. Another thing that I like about the book was there was a problem and it went throughout the story so it made me want to keep reading it to see what would happen next. My last favorite thing about the book is I liked how the story was ordered. This paragraph is going to be my opinion of the characters in the story! The first character that I am going to be talking about is Katirina. In the story, Katrina is the main character,I thought she was a really good character in the story because she told the story really well and had good character traits. The second character is Katirina’s dad. I liked Katirina’s dad as one of the characters because he was nice to Katirina, but he was not one of my favorite characters because he did not have much to say. The next character is Katirina’s friend. Katirina’s friend is one of my favorite characters because she was a good friend and I would love to be her friend. Also the story would be very different without her in it. The last character is Katirina’s dog. The dog is one of my favorite characters because he sounded really cute and friendly in the story, even though they did not really talk about him too much I still think he is an important character. Those are some of my opinions of the characters!!! If you like to dance then this book is definitely for you and I recommend it, because it is a really good story and you will want to keep reading it to see what will happen next! If you do not like dance or are not interested in it then this book is probably not for you because it is about a girl who dances.

“When will my reflection show who I am inside.” I’ve always been a fan of Mulan. The movie is stunning. As a little girl I thought Mulan was amazing, but now I see her as an inspiration to all women. Reflection by Elizabeth Lim is a masterpiece. I loved the characters and plot twists so much. Speaking of… ***Characters*** Fa Mulan/Ping- Mulan (like I said) is an inspiration to all women out there. I liked how she made everyone believe that Ping is an actual person. Women make strong men! Respect for Mulan… Li Shang- Was a very mysterious character. I loved how he was bold and strong at first, but opened up to Mulan about his feelings and even his feelings for her. I like how he developed after his visit to the underworld (Diyu). ***Setting*** Diyu was a very nice and planned out setting. It really showed that Lim took the time and effort to plan it out. Every single thing is carefully planned and described for us readers, from the sky to the grass under Mulan’s feet. As an author-in-progress, Elizabeth Lim is an author that I look up to now. I am taking her work as an example for my writing! Look out for a ‘Dedicated to Elizabeth Lim’ novel! In all… I really liked this book. It is definitely a book to look out for! March 27, 2018! Oh! And did you see the gorgeous final cover? I am buying a second copy! Five stars from me! I received an ARC from Disney Hyperion; this has not influenced my opinion in any way.

This book was kind of mediocre.The main protagonist Sirin is so bad.Remove her from the plot and there would be no tremendous effect to the plot whatsoever.On the other hand Joss and Allie were the best characters in this book.They actually had somewhat of a personality that made you care for them. Lysander was also pretty good.The battle near the end of the book was the best part of the book.It was full of action and suspense that put me on the edge of my seat.Overall this book was okay and it wasn't absolutely horrendous.I would give this book 3 1/2 stars.
