For my book I read The Last Olympian. This the last book in the series but I think the best. This is a Greek, modern, adventure book. It is about a boy that is sixteen and has to make a decision that will determine the fate of the world. Then he also fights the battle of his life. Whether he looses or wins will be up to you to find out by reading the books, which I would recommend. My favorite quote would have to be,"As long as you have plenty of statues of me."

When he gets in his first battle the enemy starts to approach, Henry's fears he might die, and he runs. In full retreat he hears that the enemy is being held back, but he keeps on running.

This is a great book to read if you like the 1800's, Civil War, or military books. This book talks about the hardships of war and the mental damage it has on soldiers.

The Lightning Thief

My book is about this kid named Percy; his dad is the god of water. Percy was a normal kid who went to a normal school. He has a mom and a step dad. His step dad name is Gabe, who is a coach potato. He always gets mad at Percy for every thing. So Percy has moved to a lot of schools. He always gets kicked out of a lot of them. He finally figured out that he had powers. Percy got sent to a camp called Half Blood. Thar were mythical creatures there and other kids with powers. Percy met some new friends whose names are Annabeth and Grover. Grover was one of those half human half goat things. Percy and his friends need to find Zeus's stolen property. On the way to find it they had a lot of obstacles. Like ones they were on a bus and there was an old monster lady trying to kill Percy. So, if you like Greek books then this wold be a good one for you. Right now I'm reading the second one and its pretty good. I hope you can read this book.

James Choke is being torn apart. His mom died and he is being sent to a orphan house while his dad keeps his sister. While at the orphan house he joins a gang and they trick him into getting in trouble. He gets off with a warning and goes back to the orphan house but when he wakes up the next day he doesn't know where he is.

He is in a orange t-shirt with CHERUB on it. He leaves his room and asks for directions to the headmaster but everybody says, "Cant talk to orange." When he finally finds the headmasters office he is greeted by a Scottish man named Dr Terrence McAfferty (Mac for short). Mac tells him that CHERUB is a elite school for 17 and under and that the kids who go there get top choices at any collage they want, but that's not the special thing about CHERUB.

The kids who go to CHERUB all are trained and used as spys. The British government found out that using kids as spys is super effective because nobody suspects that kids are spying on them. Going to CHERUB is completely optional. Will James go to CHERUB?

My favorite line is when He is late for basic training:
‘You starting basic training this morning?’ the kid asked. ‘Yeah,’ James said. ‘It’s half past seven,’ the kid said. ‘I know,’ James said. ‘I’m late.’ The kids burst out laughing. ‘You’re not late. You’re dead.’ ‘So dead,’ the other kid said, shaking his head. I would recommend this to people who like the Alex Rider series.

Winter's End

Winters End was very complex and invigorating. This book is an awesome read. You'll have to have a tough heart to actually relate to what these poor teenagers have to go through. In their hell-like life they attend a boarding school where the founders not only killed the kids parents but keep them with the intentions of killing them as well. And when they break out and go to finish what there parents could not they only lead them selves to heart ache and disaster."That's right. Those barbarians tracked her mother down to the mountains where she'd gone with Bart's father and a handful of other partisans. the dog-man were let loose on them........" This book is for people who aren't into the happily ever after of fairy tales.
