The Dark Is Rising

The Dark Is Rising

By Susan Cooper

This was a really good book. This is a book where they combined the whole series into one book. Although it's a little long, it's really good. I think that this is one of the more special and interesting books I have read. The author has a really good idea where he incorporates so many characters and also he uses the stories of King Arthur in the book. This book is about good against evil, which seems very stereotypical, however, it's a really different concept of good and evil. My favorite part of the book is when Will is trying to get all the signs after Merriman told him what to do. I really recommend this book.

The Landry News

The Landry News

undefined

When Cara Landry discovers that Mr. Larson, her worst teacher that does not want to teach them anymore, once won multiple best teacher of the year rewards before, she starts a newspaper that badmouths him. But after nearly costing him her job, Cara learns an important lesson. So I have a little backstory. I read this book a really long time ago but then I decided to reread it, which refreshed my memories of what happened.... After I finished this, I thought like, maybe I can start my own newspaper agency. I presented the idea to my friends, who were a little uneasy at first, then agreed to it. Since I was homeschooled, my only option to release it was at church. There we left it in the rooms, because we wanted to keep our identity a secret. Many people liked it, so we, or rather I, worked on it. I had teamed up with a no k-pop group because that time I was against it and our next issue was about how Kpop was bad... stuff like that, and many people were unhappy with that issue so they told us to stop and never write any issues again. I had already planned another issue but that one was never released. So the newspaper fad, caused by this book, ended, and so started many other fads. Now I am neutral about Kpop and we don't have a fad right now but that memory was really exciting and fun to refresh by reading this book again.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

By Mark Twain

This book was awesome. Mark Twain does a good job of taking us back to the time period of anti slavery. In this book Huck was a thirteen year old kid that had no parents. He learned to take care of himself and live in the wild. He did not want to be civilized at all. Twain has strong messages against slavery and he talks a lot about ones freedom. Throughout this book he teaches us that standing up for oneself is very important in life. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. It was great and Im glad I read it for my second nine weeks social studies project.

This book, titled Misty's Twilight, is a very good and classic book by a famed author named Marguerite Henry. This story takes place after Misty has died, many years after the book before it.

When she finally takes her dream vacation, (with her children) they end up taking home four little Chincoteague ponies, one of which a direct descendant of Misty of Chincoteague. She then breeds with a great stallion, and the foal, a filly, is named Twilight. She is good at everything she does, but the question is, good enough? Find out if her future is to be a cutting horse, a jumper, or a competitor in the fine art of dressage. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes horses and classic books.
