Gods and Warriors by Michelle Paver is a exciting book set in Ancient Greece, when Mycane and Crete were ruling the part of the world. The main character, a young goatherd named Hylas, is an orphan and is forced to take care of the village’s goats- against his will. He is forever an Outsider, as he has been branded, and his life gets worse. His friends and sister are attacked by strange warriors set on killing all of the Outsiders. In the midst of the battle, his dog is killed, his sister slips away and he runs off- with an arrow embedded in his arm. This sets the tone of an action-packed book filled with fights, near death and cliff hangers at every chapter. This book takes place in everywhere from the sea, islands, caves and temples. It brings you places from all over, through the eyes of a young boy and girl. The girl, Pirra, is the High Priestess daughter, who escaped from the temple and made her way to the island. Pirra and Hylas team up to find a way off the abandoned island. Along the way, Hylas ends up with a dagger that is very important- and the strange warriors, known as Crows, want it. He and Pirra have to fight their way off an island against the best warriors in the country. The plot thickens, as several characters allegiances seem to change and unknown stories are revealed in the waning moments of a great first book of the series. Michelle Paver brings to life an ancient world, and describes each moment vividly, painting an incredibly realistic picture in your head, and the action is so well explained, it’s like you’re standing in the middle of it. The strength of this book is the plotline. It’s like a roller coaster at Six Flags- the story seems to change instantly, but very smoothly. The strength is also a weakness, however. The plotline is so complex that is easy to become lost and confused. If you miss a key part- you will have no clue what’s going on. That is one of the few things I didn’t like about this book- it is tough to just casually read it, you have to be really into it. Other than that, I think it was a very good book and it ended with a question that will have to be answered in the next installment. I would recommend this to fans of Percy Jackson because it is a lot alike- just set a really long time ago. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

This was WAY better than the third book. Otis and Nelly plan to get married! Vlad's father's journal has mysteriously disappeared. Vlad struggles with his relationships with Meredith and Snow, the trial awaiting Otis, and guess who's back in town?? JOSS! It's a plot that's against Vlad at all odds. Can he make it out alive? The end will leave you gasping! (Literally. I was like "WHAT? DID NOT SEE THAT COMING?" And trust me you won't until you read it! And read the last page! But not until you read the rest! Have fun!) --BKS reviews

My book review on the Velveteen Rabbit by: Margey Williams . this book was about a stuffed bunny that came to life from nursery magic. I loved all the colors and pictures in the book. This book made me wonder is nursery magic real.

Bearhaven is where humans and bears can interact with each other; a safe environment for abused and (second-generation type...) bears to live. So the whole plot is very intriguing and very unique! It kind of reminded me about the series the Warriors... And I really liked how the author used personification to make bears talk... well they have these technological transmitters (BEAR-COM) that translate "bear language" to English... It's kind of quite cool! Like safe means Shala, fast means Grauk, and attack means Gal (just a little helpful words to know before exploring the words of Bearhaven)... So starting off with the beginning... Meet Spencer Plain, he's always around with bears, know many random facts about bears, because his parents (bear activists) created Bearhaven after seeing the cruelties that people treated bears... but Spence never knew that... he didn't even knew that they played video games or eat delicious food (well sounds delicious to me!!). After Uncle Mark quickly gets Spence and tells him that his parents are missing (his dad is abducted while his mom quickly fled somewhere unknown)... Spencer soon unravels the secrets of his parent's actual job and becomes very determine to find his parents. Of course the adult bears and Uncle Mark underestimate Spencer... I mean what can this little kid do???? Instead with the help of Kate (this adorable bear), she helps train Spencer into being the man that can save bears and his parents... When he meets his nanny (trying not to spoil it... but don't worry the author doesn't forget about her... because she plays a crucial role)... they make a plan to stop all the bear abusers... because it's about to get real... Because they're going down for real!!! (did you see the pun I did there ;D) So can Spencer defeat the "bad guys," save RoRo and her cubs, and save his parents??? Well if you want to know... read and find out! So I thought that the end would be "everybody gets a happy ending" and it would be cliche... but I was wrong... The ending surprised me... Also how people mistreat bears... is just horrible... I wished the author dug deeper into the problems, solutions, and history about bear abuse... but overall... I thought this was a sweet book... After all who doesn't like to read about talking bears with a crazy spy mission!!! So if you like mischief, adventures, and think kids can make a huge difference (because it is soooooo true... Anybody can make a difference... they just need to have the right mindset)... then this book is perfect for you!! Enjoy! Because it's about to be real!

THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME SERIES EVER!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT AND CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE FOURTH AND FIFTH ONES!!!!!
