@editor, @bookstory13 came up with a GREAT idea to have a creative writing page here on iDogo. Everyone would be able to write original stories or fanfiction and share it with everyone else here. I personally think it's a great idea and that a lot of kids would love to have it. Please consider! Thank you for all your hard work! -@olliebob

Percy Jackson isn't your average kid. He has ADHD, Dyslexia, and is constantly in trouble with bullies or fighting at one of the many boarding schools he has attended. But life is consistent enough. Until one day his math teacher turns into a flying monster and tries to kill him. After that, things get interesting. He finds out his best friend Grover is actually a Satyr (half goat), his favorite teacher is a Centaur. And the most important thing: Percy is a half-blood. His mother is human, but his father(who he has never seen) is a Greek god. Percy soon finds out that his father isn't just a 'regular' god, he is one of the Big Three-Poseidon. Being a half-blood means that monsters are constantly attacking him-monsters he previously thought were myths. But Percy will have to face the facts at Camp Half-Blood, where he is forced to take cover. Camp Half-Blood is definitely different than any other camp. Besides the fact that Capture the Flag includes deadly weapons, there are nymphs and dryads at every corner, and even a battle arena. But of course things don't quite down for Percy once he arrives at Camp. His mother is taken hostage by Hades, who isn't the only god angry at him. Percy has been framed for the ultimate crime-stealing Zeus's master lightning bolt. In just a few days Percy must journey on his first quest with Grover and Annabeth (a stubborn and skilled daughter of Athena) in order to clear his and his father's name before the ultimate war breaks out. I recommend this book to mythology and adventure lovers. I think this is a great introduction to Greek mythology in a fun way. I think this book is primarily geared toward junior high aged kids, but I also think high schoolers will enjoy it. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Unwanteds is a book set in Quill, a dystopian world. Every year the 13-year olds are sorted. The strongest and intelligent Wanteds are sent to the university, while the creative and imaginative Unwanteds are killed. Everyone expects Alex to be sent to his death and his twin Aaron to be sent to the university, and their predictions almost come true. Aaron is deemed a Wanted, and Alex an Unwanted. However when Alex and the other kids are ushered into the gates of their death camp, they find that they are not to be put to death at all, but instead join another world where all the Unwanteds take refugee. They have formed a secret school, and learn how to increase their talents and learn magic. However Alex is determined to let Aaron know he is alive, and he wants to bring his brother over away from the cruelty of Quill. Will Alex fit into his new home? Will he keep his bond strong with Aaron? Will the good magic be able to reign over evil? I absolutely love this book! There were twists and turns, and so many surprises! I recommend this book to middle grade ages and up. Probably the best minimum age is 11 or 12, since there are many action scenes, with some violence. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

The Dragonet Prophecy is set in a world where the seven dragon tribes in the story have been at war for many years. The Talons of Peace want to bring an end to the fighting, and a prophecy is made. Five dragon eggs are raised hidden in a cave against their will to fulfill the prophecy. But then the five decide to escape their underground prison and find their homes. They succeed but are almost immediately captured by an evil queen. And the outside isn't what they expected at all. What will happen to them? Will they save the world? Or will they perish in their fight for freedom? I really liked this book. There was plenty and action, and I loved learning about all the unique dragon tribes and characteristics. It was interesting to see the development of the friendship between the five dragonets, and their reaction to their new reality. I recommend this book to fantasy and adventure (and of course dragon) lovers middle grade age and up. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Beaumonts are a unique and unusual family. Each Beaumont, on their 13th birthday, get their inherited savvy. A savvy is a special ability like a superpower. All the savvy's are different, and can be anything. One of Mibs's brothers causes storms and another generates electricity, and neither is able to control his savvy too well yet. Now Mibs is about to turn thirteen, and they all wonder what her savvy will be. But just before her birthday, her father is in a car accident, and now lies in a coma in the hospital. And Mibs just hopes that whatever her savvy is, it will be something that can save him. I loved this book, it is such a unique concept, and Ingrid Law pulled it off beautifully. I kept wanting to turn the page and find out what was going to happen next. I especially liked that I got to feel what Mibs was feeling as she was trying to figure out her savvy and control it and as she goes on an adventure in the hopes of saving her father. I recommend it to middle grade students and older. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

At first glance, I had judged the book by its cover. I had read the fairy tale this book was based on, and it was quite boring. Now that I’ve read this book, I’ve absolutely fell in love with it. The constant theme it had was really amazing, and I loved this book. In this book, a boy named Rump struggles because of his name. He is laughed at by many people, and becomes the “butt” of all jokes. Because of this, he believes that his destiny is terrible, and thinks he won’t have a good life. He then discovers a spinning wheel, and uses it to find out he can make gold. This leads him into a lot of trouble, as the miller he is enemies with uses him to his advantage. After that, he goes on a journey, and through this, he finds the true power and destiny of his real name, I loved the format, and everything this book offered really satisfied me. I would recommend it to 3rd to 6th graders, because the plot sometimes gets complicated, and the book includes deaths of people close to Rump. But all in all, I feel this book is a must-read!

I would love to read this book, because I feel that I would learn a lot of information with it. I’ve read the previous almanacs, and they’ve all had interesting facts. I’d love to receive the newest copy, and would definitely love to review it.
