he is a identity theft

I love Lucky Stars. I bought the fist book, but I can't get the second book. I'm hoping I can get it, but I got the first book at my school book sale, and this is my last year in my elementary school, so I can't buy anymore.

i <3ed this book when i was younger

I know what you're thinking when you look at the cover and title. You're thinking, "Unicorns? You mean the pink creatures with fluffy purple manes that eat cotton candy and dance on rainbows?" After all, that's what I was thinking. Until I read the book. Mrs. Russell, the author, did a perfect job of weaving ancient myths into present-day reality. We begin our story with Twig, a skinny 12 year old who is being shipped off to a pony ranch by Keely, her stepmother, for some mysterious crimes that are yet to be explained. On arriving at Lonehorn Island, she begins to sense a strange presence, and see dark shadows weaving through the trees. Eventually, Twig will face an epic battle against the beasts of Lonehorn Island - but will she survive to long enough to win it? All in all, amazing writing. Mrs. Russell took on the challenging aspect of molding the reputation of the unicorn into something undefiable. You won't think about unicorns the same way ever again.

it is about 50 cent no explanation as to why.

Hi everyone! I know that I haven't been on Dogonews and writing reviews for a long time now... ;__; but I promise I'll be back soon! Please keep checking for new updates from Thumsup! UPDATE: 1/15/2014 Now, let's get this review started! The 10 PM Question first strikes you with how.......ordinary, it is. From looking at the cover of two birds and one in a cage, I guess you had expected this book to be a mystery or suspense novel. You were thinking, "Oh, that's symbolism, right? One bird in a cage; maybe one person gets captured and held hostage while the other person comes to them each day, offering hospitality and rations in secret, hoping sometime in the foreseeable future that they can both be together, and free!" And then you were probably praising yourself for being such a genius, and setting REALLY HIGH expectations on this book since all thriller novels are supposed to be grand, right? -__- I hope that you weren't HONESTLY thinking all that. If you were, then luckily you are reading my review before you shock yourself by realizing how judgmental you are, and that this book is accomplished in something different than your dream fantasy thriller novel. First, you encounter Frank. He is your everyday boy who worries about keeping neat, being stressed by trivial things, and upholding all the order and organization in a supposedly very unkempt household- all by himself. Wait, did I actually meet boys like this in real life? *Comtemplates brother, father's room, obnoxious classmates at school who can't keep their locker clean for a single HOUR* Nope, I didn't. Due to all this, he commonly freaks out at every little thing in his way, but finds the motivation to keep moving forward by discussing his troubles with his mother. There isn't very much we know about Mother, except how she is a good mother, never goes out of the house (ever), and shares her troubles with her beloved son at 10-pm every night. So, there is a very mysterious air about her. This is just a small part of the book. However, you might be confused if you find yourself tricked by the many incidents that happen in the plot, so you have to be very attentive and active comprehensively. After I was done reading this novel, I realized that if I was hired to write something like this, I would fail epically. Kate de Goldi masterfully handles the plot of the story not by converging it into subplots, but by keeping it hidden woven through every chapter and beckoning for those detective readers to come find it, and be pleasantly surprised to find something other than the pearl they were looking for. Do you want to know what they find? A massive string of jewels, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds; something priceless in this realistic but unique story of 10-pm questions and consequences, good and unfortunate.

I loved the author's use of similes and description in this tale that teaches newer isn't always better! A sweet read for children of all ages. My boys, tractor lovers, thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I like the four pieces of writing advice Eva gets from friends on 90th Street!

In the book Freaky Green Eyes by Joyce Carol Oates, the main character is a girl named Franky Pierson. She thinks she has a great life, until her mother disappeared one day. Franky and her sister, Sam, are furious and want to find out why their mother all of a sudden disappeared. For now, they have to deal with their father who has been nasty to them, and is the only suspect for the disappearance of their mother. Franky knows that her father still loves her, and so she takes his side of the problem. Later in the book, Franky has an alter-ego named Freaky, Freaky Green Eyes. Freaky tries to help Franky solve the mystery of her missing mother. I really enjoyed this book, although there were some scary parts. I have never read a book written by this author before. It was something new, and I really like the way she describes things. I would recommend this to anyone who likes Fiction/mysterious books! :D

Just started. So far, the only thing that I think would make it better is if is was in First Person.
