Sorry!!!

My computer has been having nervous break-downs lately and I haven't been able to get on much but I just got a chance and took it with a smile. I think I have reviewed this before, but oh well. Here's my review of the Lightning Their by Rick Riordan.

The Lightning Thief is probably the best book in world from my point of view. I had never even heard of the Greek Gods till' I picked it up and began the adventure with Percy Jackson. 12 years old, has ADHD and Dyslexia, been kicked out of every school he's ever been to, and has never felt like he belongs. Then he finds out that he has been noted as a thief. Zeus, king of the gods, thinks that he has stolen his Master Bolt, the gods greatest weapon. Percy must then go on a thrilling quest with his new found friends, Grover and Annabeth. But will they get the bolt back in time??? Read it to find out.

Hopefully it's good because It's my first at Good Reads, A book review site kind of like mine except bigger and better. But I will not leave I shall stay here till the end of time. We also got a chat box. Sorry about the older messages I apparently messed up. There you can chat, and it where you can answer questions instead of commenting if you can't and what not. And who's gonna be our author of the month for December??? Please give me some idea except Rick Riordan. It took him 6 months last time and he gave one of those print-outs that he gives everybody. The only upside was he gave me a signed bookplate and a bookmark. So it is recommended if you can wait that long. I may not be able to meet the new author but a letter always works and if super bad I can do a little biography on them. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving and I will try to get on soon.

Mike Lupica LIVE!

OK, well I've met him and this is how the story went. First, he gave a huge speech about how Travel Team was a true story based on his son when he got kicked off the travel team and how Mike made his own for all of the people who had been kicked off. (review coming soon!) Then, he talked about his inspiration for Hero, he said it all started at some convention when someone asked him if he'd rather be able to fly or be invisible. Then he got the idea for Hero also because he was a comic book fan. After, he took questions. I asked him if he was going to write a hockey book or not and he said that he had an idea but he had also come up with a new football book a sequel to Hero and a ton more. So hockey fan shall wait longer for a good hockey book. Some 5-year old told him that he was read a basketball book (Travel Team) and he told the kid to never stop playing and stuff like that. It was touching. Then he answered a few more (a video my friend took may be coming) and began signing. We were supposed to be in alphabetical order but me and Maggie just sat in a corner reading The Ugly Truth until he was pretty much done. (review coming soon, maybe) since there was only like 75 people and we waited till it was half-way done we only got 10 pages in. We hopped in line and waited a few more minutes then he signed our books out to us. (Hero, of course) We then left. THE END

The 13th Reality

The 13th Reality was quite good. It's about a boy named Atticus Higgenbottom aka Tick, who receives a letter in the mail postmarkd from Alaska. It says he will start receiving 12 clues and if he want to end the madness, just burn the first letter. He dosen't burn it [but someone else does...] and goes on with the help of his Dad, And new friends Paul, Sofia, Mothball and Rutger. I think the story if anything needed more adventure and less letters but still it was really good.

Thank you

[Though now I am glaring at everyone who didn't] I made a new blog called Long live Percy Jackson because tessa said I should do more books and less PJ. So now this is only books and LLPJ is only PJ.

The Red Pyramid By Rick Riordan

The Red Pyramid was amazing!!! I finished it in only four days! It's kinda like Percy Jackson except with a Egyptian twist. it's about these two kids named Carter and Sadie Kane. Carter has been traveling with their dad ever since their mother died. While Sadie has been living in London with their grandparents. Then on Christmas eve Carter and Dad go see Sadie. They go to a museum and their Dad accidentally unleashes some of the gods. Sadie and Carter then go to their Uncle Amos' house and find out that they are the most powerful magicians to be born in a long time. And from there they meet a girl named Zia and try to save all of North America. This is Rick Riordan's best book yet!!!

Fever 1793 By Laurie Halse Anderson

Fever 1793 was the best book that's not in a series I have ever read!!! It's about a girl named Mattie who lives with her mother, grandfather, and cook,Eliza in a coffee shop in Virginia. Then Yellow fever comes along. everyone is trying to head out to the country to stay away from yellow fever but other towns won't let them pass with the fear that they might have yellow fever themselves. Then mattie's mother get's yellow fever and makes them leave to a friend's farm in the country. This the best book ever!!

The Invention Of Hugo Cabret By Brian Selznick

This book is about a kid named Hugo Cabret who's father spent his whole life ting to fix a machine that writes. After he died it was Hugo's job to fix it. Now when his father tried to fix it he made a notebook that said how to fix it because he could fix it except he didn't work while he wrote. So Hugo has been stealing toys for parts from George Melies who runs a toy store. One day George catches Hugo and steals his notebook and says he will go home and burn it, and when George comes back the next day with ashes Hugo isn't so sure it is really gone and with the help of a new friend Hugo just might get it back.

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief movie

The movie of Percy Jackson was based on the book but had a entirely different story line. In this movie instead of getting pearls automatically from Poseidon they had to search for them. I personally think that if you have read the book don't be surprised if you come out of the theater saying "that was absolutely, positively, nothing like the book" When I saw it I had a Friend with me who had also read the books and she agreed with me. But if you hadn't read the books then I find it an awesome movie!
