Mark of the Thief (Mark of the Thief #1)

Mark of the Thief (Mark of the Thief #1)

By Jennifer A. Nielsen

When this book started, immediately I was brought back to one of my favorite book series: Gods and Warriors. (I almost thought I had accidentally picked up the Gods and Warriors book again.) But after the first chapter I realized that this was a whole different story. Nic finds the Bulla, which is filled with the overpowering magic bestowed by one of the gods–the question is: which god or goddess? Nic's wildest dreams comes true–along with some of his worst nightmares too. Another user of magic searches tirelessly for him and his bulla, seeking to harness the magic it contains. Who really are Nic's allies and enemies? Or is there really no difference between them? In this well-paced fantasy story, Nic is pitted against the beasts, magic itself, griffins, family, and the desires of his own heart. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!

The Scourge

The Scourge

By Jennifer A. Nielsen

The definition of scourge: [skurj] “a cause of affliction or calamity.” All Ani Mells wanted was a perfectly, ripe vinefruit to eat- which requires climbing skill…. And so she had set off to climb the vines, but instead she had overheard a conversation between two wardens… Let me start off with some background history… There are the River People also known as “grubs”and the opulent citizens or townsfolk also known as “pinchworms.” They have a mutual dispute… because Governor Felling kept on pushing the River People farther away where food is not as abundant compared to Marisbane- also the main reason why is because “history shows that the River People was the pivotal point of contracting the Scourge” (which could leadt o the deterioration of many villages). However, the Governor released new information that the Scourge is back… and in order to protect those who did not have the Scourge, the victims would be tested for this disease, and if they tested positive, then they would be sent to the Colony until they lived their short life. The Colony is a former prison cell where they quarantine all citizens who contracted the Scourge. So going back to the summary… Ani is starving and she found her ambrosia, the vinefruit… and after she climbed up the vine, she did obtain her goal (to eat food), however she gets caught by the Warden by a bird- yes, a mother bird that’s surprisingly abysmal. On the way, the Wardens are stopped by Weevil, Ani’s best friend (who is a decent pickpocketer) and encourages the Wardens to bring him along suggesting that he’s contracted the Scourge. Ani is outrageously mad that Weevil is stuck in this mess, but Weevil is happy to barge in because at least he can try to save his best friend. However when they get stuck in a prison cell, Weevil uses his adroit skills to unlock them… Which leads them to their ultimate prison escape… by then Weevil and Ani had split while Ani stopped to think about whether to help a girl that looked a couple of years older than her… However her wishful thinking got her nowhere because the Wardens had captured both, Ani and Della. Inside the cell they are being placed in, there’s a huge quarrel between them… until the testing day… On that day, both girls were tested positive for the Scourge where they had to drink a liquid… which means they were both shipped to the Colony. On their way there… they get stopped by Weevil again which meant he was able to go to the Colony with them… So as they reached the Colony, everybody was given medicine which could help alleviate the pain… However Della’s medicine was lost after Ani pushed her and Della stole Ani’s medicine…. It looks like they’re troublesome girls- but they do have hearts like gold and they are very compassionate, potent, and brave- especially Ani. The only way to get inside the infirmary (which is the place where people go inside, but never comes back) is if one is broken, and Ani believes she’ll never be broken… However on her first day Ani gets in trouble for pushing off Della… Where the Wardens got to “break their friendship” which led them to escape their slashings… (I’m just glad that they are the truest of friends… because one should know that if two people are truly best friends… a dispute will only make them stronger together, not annihilate their friendship). So a couple of days later, they made “cave friends” where they found Della’s lover...and before that… Ani sneaks inside the Warden’s room to explore why they never contracted the Scourge even though they were surrounded by them… but they found no medicine… which was very bizarre… which led to another important discovery… (gasp)... I profusely apologize for stopping this summary because SPOILER ALERT…. And I covered the necessities… I know the beginning might start a little slow- but don’t dismiss it right away, because trust me… it get’s amazing… (Also one huge tip, don’t let the governor fool you!) This story shows courage and pure perseverance… This story also entails a strong friendship, which I completely adored about this book… I highly recommend… A sweet book encompassing determination and strong bonds with a dystopian scene… Please read this amazing book.... Because “We are the Scourge.”

Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House)

Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House)

By Mary Pope Osborne

This book genre is mysterious adventures, and it was written by Mary Pope Osborne. To state it briefly, in the beginning of the story the characters were looking for a tree house, and the tree house was in the middle of a forest. Once they found it they went inside and appeared in a ninja world. They had to follow a path, with the ninja. There was a samurai and an icy cold lake etc on the way. Towards the end, the samurai was coming so they hid behind a rock so they were not seen, and continued back home. Since you don’t know who the characters are then I will tell you more about them. The main characters are Jack and Annie. Jack is more of a reading guy, his favorite thing to do is read, that means he can get smart. Annie likes animals more than books. She loves taking care of what is around her. She is very careful with animals and nature. In addition Jack likes solving puzzles and mysteries. Two key events that happened in the book that added to the plot was. 1 Annie found a mouse that could help them accomplish their mystery, because the mouse was the key to finishing their misson. 2 the Ninjas in the story said there was a samurai. ( the samurai are dangerous.) Without the samurai the story would be less scary and curious. One of the main characters Jack, didn’t like nature, but in page #68 he changed, he started to like nature. He normally says,‘‘ oh brother’’ to his sister Annie, when she just wanted to take care of the little animals that she found, but this time when Annie, his sister was making a bed for for a mouse that helped them succeed in their mission, he kissed the mouse good night and started to change his attitude instead of saying, ‘‘Oh brother.’’ An unanswered question, I would like to ask is, do Jack and Annie’s parents know about their adventures while they are gone? Meanwhile,the thing I most enjoyed about the book was when the characters went to see the ninja master. That part was very mysterious. In the picture on that page, it looked like the ninja master was coming out of fog, but indoor fog. I liked that part because I love mysterious things. The last thing I would like to say about this book is that I would highly recommend this book a lot because even for kids, teenagers etc, for any person who doesn't like reading, this book can change your mind. Also, if you like reading that is even better because you will like reading more. I hope you will read my book someday, oh, and remember my book is called night of the ninjas.

Boy Meets Squirrels (The Dead Sea Squirrels)

Boy Meets Squirrels (The Dead Sea Squirrels)

By Mike Nawrocki

Second book of the series, not as funny as the first. Much more centered on bullying. It surprised me, because I was bullied and it was hard to understand why someone would do that to another person. My parents helped me through it and this book was a good reference as well. I enjoyed the way the bible is written in to see that it still applies today.
