Deep and Dark and Dangerous

I'm reading the book  Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn. This book is about how a 13 year old girl, Ali, finds and old photograph of her mom Clair, Dulcie her aunt and some other girl. All Ali knows is that the random girls name starts with a T and her grandmother took it when Clair and Dulcie were young. Ali is determined to find out who this other girl is even though her mom denies anyone else there with her. After searching for weeks Ali finally has a chance to finding out who this mysterious girl is, but her mom is very protective and refuses to let her go to the lake with her sister and her daughter.

In this book I made a strong connection to Ali. All though i'm not going to a camp sight/lake were an incident happens, but I feel the same way she dose when her mom gets a little to protective. I under stand how she feels her mom treats her like a dog. My mom, like hers, is a bit over protective and can be a little dramatic, but on the other side she is very loving and takes care of me. Just like Ali's mom Clair. Over all my mom is a wonderful mother and I am happy she is over protective.

Before I started reading Deep and Dark and Dangerous I thought that I wouldn't like this book just because of they way it looked, but I have learned not to judge a book by its cover. All thought the cover is quite interesting I also thought the book was going to be terrible just because the books over all summary. Despite that, I still tried the book and ended up loving it. Especially on how the book is worded and both explained. Over all Deep and Dark and Dangerous is a wonderful book to read and I definitely recommend reading it.

Things That Go bump in the night

       I am reading a book called Things That go bump in the night and the author is Patrick carman

the book is a season 1 and it tells story's about legends and in the book it talks about people that were legends and what they use to do .

The person that was in the woods and has a golden hook that he made cause he lost his hands and his name was "Clarence Buchanan"and he died cause he got too old and then when he was buried a person dug him up and took his hook and he melted so he can have gold.
      This character reminds me of someone  I know because in the book thing that go bump in the night there is a person that steals and it reminds me of my cousins because he says that he is going to borrow it and then he never returns it back.The character reminds me of me because he goes to school.This situation reminds me of a similar situation in my own life it happened when i was at an arcade and I stole candy and took the candy to my house.

The Demigod Diaries-Text to self

      I am reading,  The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan.  The first characters that we are introduced have special powers.  They are the children of the Greek Gods on Earth.  These children have one parent who is a Greek God, and the other being a mortal.  The kids battle monsters in the book to protect others.

      I feel that the book, The Demigod Diaries connects to our world in several ways.  One of these ways is how the kids have to battle monsters that others can't see.  The kids who are not demigods in the story don't see the battles between the demigods and the monsters.  This connects to me in real life because we don't always know what everyone is going through.  People often have problems that they aren't sharing with others around them.

      The book, The Demigod Diaries, and the Percy Jackson series is one of my favorite sets of stories.  I feel that some of the obstacles in the book are things that we can relate to.  I also enjoy how a portion of the book relates to the Greek Gods that we learn about in school.  To be able to learn some past history and follow along in the journey of these characters make me very happy.  I hope that the author will see how important these books are to kids and continues to write more.

Murder At Midnight

 I am reading the book Murder at Midnight by Avi. The genre of this book is suspense, historical fiction, and mystery. This book is about a servant boy that is also an orphan named Fabrizoio. He is entirely dependent on the good will  of people like Sophia and her husband, Mangus the magician. Fabrizio does everything he can to impress his new master Mangus while Sophia is gone. Fabrizio was very fascinated by Mangus' magic shows, but they have to keep the magic shows secret because King Claudio banned magic in the town. If the King was to find out about the magic, Fabrizio and Mangus would be in big trouble. It was only later until Mangus and Fabrizio figured out they were being framed and Mangus was sentenced to jail. Fabrizio has to make him innocent, but how will he?

  I had a connection to Fabrizio because I have tried to impress my parents. When they needed help I was able to get the job done. I am also close to  his age in the book too. Later on, when I kept helping my parents out with everything, they really appreciated me just like how Mangus appreciated Fabrizio when he helped Mangus. Fabrizio did mess up sometimes when he working for Mangus in the beginning and I did too whenever my parents needed help with something.

 I recommend this book because it has a very great theme. The plot is also really easy to understand unlike other mystery books I have personally read. I really like how the character Fabrizio is very loyal and nice to his master even though he isn't well appreciated. This book made me want to read more mystery books like this. Even though I don't usually read mystery or suspenseful books, and this is by far my favorite book I've read. This book is full of surprises and makes you want to keep reading.

The Boy at the Top of the Maountain

I am reading The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne. It is the second book in the series of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and is about a little boy named Pierrot that has to find his way through his life at seven years old without his parents. He becomes an orphan after both his parents died, then he gets a letter from his aunt that he has never met before saying that she wants to take him. When he gets there his aunt starts changing him and his whole personality.

I have a connection to this book that doesn't really have to do with me, but that has to do with a family member. My family member was put into foster care when he was younger, I know that he wasn't and orphan, but he was put into foster care to be looked after until he got adopted just like Pierrot was put into an orphanage until he got adopted. He finally got adopted and was happier than can be, but had so many questions once he got out of  the foster care program. Just like when Pierrot got out of the orphanage, but once he got out he had wondered what kind of place he was  going to and what type of people he was going to live with.

I was very confused as to where this story was going at first, but right away this book drew me in and was very interesting from the start. It made me think of the Ann Frank diaries and how they both had to do with a war that happened in history. I really like how this story gets a little interesting and makes you wonder what is going to happen next. I recommend this book to anyone that like historical fiction or to anyone that likes books related to the holocaust.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

By: Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games , by Suzanne Collins, is a story about a corrupt government that chooses a boy and a girl from each district so they can put them in a arena to fight to the death. Katniss Everdeen is a girl who's father died when she was young and had to take care of her family. She has a sister named Primrose and her mother Mrs. Everdeen cant tend to her family because her husbands death still haunts her. On the reaping day, which is when the boy and the girl is chosen, Katniss's sister Primrose was chosen. But Katniss couldn't let her go to the hunger games so she volunteered for her instead. The boy who was chosen was Peeta Mellark, he was the son of a local baker in district 12.

Katniss reminds me of a solider because she will always take care and protect anyone even of she doesn't know them. She acts courageous like a solider and doesn't care what the consequence is of her actions is. She is tough like a solider and is a natural born leader. She also reminds of a rebel because she talks and disagrees with her own government.

If I were Katniss at this point, I would train my hardest to try to win because that is the only chance that I'm going to see my family again. I would also try to unite a team during the games instead of going by myself. I was also confused why Katniss's Dad died. I thought there was supposed to be a warning that the mine might explode or be unstable.
