                                          Throne Of Fire 
                                         By Rick Riordan

     This was a great book! I loved reading it. I thought it was exciting every page that I turned. As Sadie and Carter Kane, the most powerful teenagers in the world of magic are challenged to save the world yet another time. After Sadie lights downtown New York on fire with white Greek flames they have to find two more parts of the scroll to the book of Ra. They meet Set the god of evil. Sadie gives up Sets secret name to find the last part of the scroll. Sadie and carter split up. Neither may return. But in the end one way or the other one of them will have to rescue Ra and bring chaos to a calm. Sadie is faces with mummies while Carter is faces with water serpents. It isn't looking good for either and both of them are regretting the path that they took. Will they survive to see the light of day or will the whole world fall under the power of chaos?
     This book's setting is in Egypt, New York, and Russia! As Sadie and Carter traveled around the world and had hard times and had great success I knew how they felt with a lot of hard things to do with almost no good outcome! I had such a fun time reading this and hope you will too! I though about how hard it would be to go through all of the things they went through in only a few days! I am excited to read the next book! I hope it will be as good as this one and the one before was! Before you read it see how much fun it would be to read! Here are some quotes and who I would recommend it to!  
  I would recommend this book to anyone especially the ones that love magic, mystery, excitement, and adventure! I read this book really quick because I could never put it down! I hope that everyone who reads this will enjoy it as much as I did! Just to show you how awesome this book is here are a few quotes from the book!! 
  • “Throwing down your staff may sound like a sign of surrender, but in Egyptian magic, it's bad news. It usually means, 'Hey, I'm going to summon a big nasty thing to kill you while I stand safely inside my circle and laugh'.” 
  • “Two farewell gifts," Sadie muttered, "from two gorgeous guys. I hate my life.”  
“The sign was spray-painted in Arabic and English, probably from some attempt by the farmer to sell his wares in the market. The English read: Dates-best price. Cold Bebsi. "Bebsi?" I asked. "Pepsi,"  Walt said. "I read about it on the Internet. There's no 'p' in Arabic. Everyone here calls the soda Bebsi."
"So you have to have Bebsi with your bizza?"
"Brobably.”        

As you can tell this is a great book and has a little bit of comedy in it! I hope you love it as much as I did!

        I loved this book because it was really interesting and it had allot of action. It tells the story of a family that has to move out of their house and go to live in a cave and this family is all for the confederates and their on Landon joins they Yankees as a doctor and the dad joins as a medic for the confederates and they are kind of at war and Landon brings home a wanted man Named Robert home and  is going to turn him in but his little sister named Claire Louise helps him escape and gives him her horse named Jewel and he runs away.
     I would recommend this book who likes war and excitement because there is war and excitement in all of the whole book.
     one quote that i liked from this book was that "the shells were hitting like an angyry bee hive" because it is so true and it actually means something.
     This book is based on the battle in vicks burg and life was rough at that time because all of the residents had to live in caves and eat rats.

Ender's Game!

Ender's Game



The book review I'm doing is about the book Ender's Game. In it, there is a kid named Ender, that has to save mankind.

Ender is a very smart child who learns about battle strategies and can learn very easily. He knows many things and can do many things. He is in school when they "pretend" to send him off. They then test to see how he reacts to it. Then they bring him to battle school after great success. Ender learns there how to play a game, where you just have to reach the other side. It uses his best battle strategies to figure out how, because people are shooting at you. They do different circumstances where he has to face many other teams at a time. He succeeds really well. He then gets sent to an other school where he has to do many other things.. I can not tell you which things. You must read the book! It has an amazing ending that surprises you and you just want to read it over and over again to get all the details in.

My favorite character in this book is Ender, the main character. He is just so awesome and always preservers and is really smart. He knows how to do things right and is really young still. I just would want to be like he because he is just so amazing. This book is a good hook. "I have to win this now, and for all time, or I’ll fight it ever day and it will get worse and worse." -Ender. This is one of his famous quotes, because he says that the war won't be ended until he finishes it all, which makes it an epic quote.

I would recommend this to anyone, who loves fantasy and in the future things, Like Hunger Games or Divergent. It is a really good book to read and you just can't stop reading it. I could not put the book down and when I did I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen next. This is a really good book for anyone who likes books that have space in them too, because this has lots of space. Plus it's a movie, which makes it awesomer. This is a really awesome book. Now go read it!!!

SHATTER ME
  This book is about a teenage girl named Juliet who has been in solitary confinement for the last 264 days. Juliet has a supernatural ability; any person she touches dies. Because of her power Juliet refuses to touch anyone, which becomes very difficult when she is given a cellmate, a very attractive teenage cellmate named Adam. Juliet and Adam begin to plot an escape, waiting until the right moment to leave their prison. Unfortunately the warden of the jail, Warner, will not allow Juliet to leave due to his creepy stalker-esque tendencies. The rest of the book is Juliet having teen angst, almost killing people and falling in love; all the things social media wants in a book.
  This book teaches the classic Disney style lesson of you should not fear what you don't understand. It also deals with mans inhumanity towards his fellow man, or in this case, teenage girls.
  My favorite passage from the book was; "I am not insane" Juliet is constantly rethinking herself and attempting to block any stray thought that may hurt her. She fears that she is going insane, and begins to believe that she is falling into the abyss of her own mind, only to be wrenched back by Adam.
  This book is amazing. It delves into the psyche of a disturbed teenage girl and follows her pain. The characters are very memorable and the very idea of an insane protagonist is very appealing to me. However Juliet does strongly resemble a certain X-men character that cannot touch another human being without causing them mortal harm, but I digress.
  This book is obviously not for everyone. The reader must be interested in superhero-like science fiction, romance, angst, insanity, and being inside of the confusing female mind. Clearly not every reader is suited for this book, however if those themes appeal to you, than this is the perfect book for you.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 
The Third Wheel 


     This book is one of the books from the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid  series. This book is about how Greg Heffley has a valentines day dance at his school the problem is that he cant find a date so he scrabbles around looking for a date. Then he finally gets one but his best Friend Rowley didn't find one so he takes no one do the dance so hes the odd man out.
      These books are really funny. I love how they have pictures with each page so that makes these books a really easy read. These books are best books for lazy readers like me or if you like funny books that are realistic fiction or want a book that they can make a connection with there self's because that is what I do when I read these books

     One of my favorite quotes in this book is on the first page 
"Luckily, I remember just about everything that's happened to me since I was born." This is a funny quote because I don't think anyone remembers that far back into there life.
