SKELETON KEY (AN ALEX RIDER BOOK)
Hi. I just fell in love with a series that was my second best (percy Jackson series as #1). I could hardly put the books down!! This one is by far the best though and I want to tell you more about it!
The book is called Skeleton Key by Anthony Horwitz. The first book is about a kid named Alex. Alex was just a normal boy living with just a father when the father dies. He soon finds out that someone killed his father. He talks to a man and finds out his dad was a secret agent for Russia's "CIA". Now Alex is an agent and goes on many adventures. But thats the other books so why not head in to the one that stands out!
Alex was playing soccer when he noticed one of his agents walks by. Suddenly Alex is a ball boy at the Wimbleton! (a huge tennis tournament). When he is there he sees a mysterious man. He follows the man and suddenly the man is trying to kill him!! Alex manages to get away but not for long. When he came back to the agent he was told he had to go with some CIA members to a place called Skeleton Key.
Now Alex is on a boat near the shore of Skeleton Key. The CIA members have not came back from finding a tunnel. The CIA have been tracking a guy with nuclear weapons. Alex decides to go in. When he finds the cave he almost gets speared. Now he why the CIA men were not coming back. Now its just him alone. But even more disastrous..... he gets caught. Now he is living in a slave prison and there is no way to get out.
Will Alex ever find a way out. I guess you will have to read the book and find out.
p.s. there is a copy in the library. Also the other books are there.

Are you there God? It's Me Margaret.
I love this book and can't put it down! It's all about Margaret and her new life Farbrook, New Jersey. Her and her friends are in a secret club. They're deciding on a name right now so i can't tell you that. But Margaret has a secret relationship with God. In every chapter the author (Judy Bloome) shows a conversation Margaret has with him. This book is for girls. Pretty much everything in here is girl stuff. This is a must read!

Luv Ya Bunches!
I read the book Luv Ya Bunches, by Lauren Myracle. This book is about four girls, Katie-Rose, Yasaman, Camilla, and Violet. Of course there has to be a mean girl and here there is Modessa, or Medusa, as the four girls call her. All of these four girls are named after flowers.
Violet is the new girl that asks for directions in the Hallway.
Yasaman is the girl that is a whiz at computers and makes her own website, but only some people know about the website.
Katie-Rose is the girl with the bright, sunshine yellow video camera.
Camilla is the one that has two moms and sometimes is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Will all these girls get together? What about the evil "Medusa"?
This is all that I want to tell you about this book because I want YOU to read it!!!!!
AMAZING BOOK!!!!!!!!!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

So B. It
So B. It is a fantastic book that keeps you interested and makes you feel connected to the characters. The main character, Heidi is completely healthy and normal but, her mom isn't so fortunate. No one knows for sure what's wrong with Heidi's mom, but to start her vocabulary is limited to 20 words. She gets headaches and throws temper tantrums. Heidi and her mom are saved by a neighbor who take's care of Heidi's mom along with Heidi. No one knows anything about Heidi's mom exept that she insists her name is So B. It. I highly reccomend this book!

I've once read the Harry Potter series. I haven't finished it yet though. I only got to Book 4. Out of all of them I totally recommend the third, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! This one, to me, has the most action and excitment. Harry saves someones life! He rides a Hippogriff (in the picture). Someone escapes....but if you want to know that rest...just wait and all you have to do is...READ. I truely loved this book and I will never forget it. I want to spread that love to all of you so...READ THIS BOOK AFTER YOU READ THE FIRST AND SECOND.

The Legend of Chiaki Park
This is not one of those dinky ghost stories. This is not imaginary. Sit back.
A long time ago, there lived a great nation called the Chiakis. They had built up a great nation. For eight years, their ingenious irrigation system brought water and their crops prospered, the game was plentiful, and the Chiakis ate well. Yet good luck does not last forever.
For 12 years after the eight, the Chiaki’s irrigation system failed to bring water to the crops, the crops withered and died, the game skirted around the high rim of the canyon. The surrounding higher cliffs grew lush and plentiful, but they could not reach it. They had become too weak. Almost all the Chiakis died four years into this terrible famine
Europeans came, but passed by when they saw the barren canyon. When they built roads, they built around the canyon, but what not many people know is that a group of about 14 of the original Chiakis decided to flee. They later advised Theodore Roosevelt to create a national park in the canyon and name it Chiaki Park. When the park lodges were being constructed a tablet reading ‘follow our fate’ was destroyed. You see, the Chiakis were famous for their magic stone tablets. They traded them with all the other countries. In fact, King Tutankhamen’s curse “death on swift wings” was made by the Chiakis. Back to the legend.
The fate of the Chiakis was that they dissipated into nothing. When the Park was finished, all the workers ceased to exist. Well, they still thought they existed, and they weren’t dead, but under records their name was erased. All the workers thought their eyes were playing tricks on them and they weren’t really invisible. One worker tried to smash a mug, but his hand went right through. Nothing..
Since then, no one has come out of Chiaki Park. Whole school groups are gone overnight. Caravans, RVs, hikers, everyone disappears as if they’re wearing all green on a green screen.
So when you sleep tonight, remember the workers, who were never remembered. Remember the victims of the Chiaki Park curse. Remember nothing. NOTHING.

Anything but Typical
I am reading the book Anything but Typical. It is really good and I recommend this book because there is very amazing word choice and sentence fluency. Anything but Typical is about an 11 year old boy named Jason that has autism. He always goes on his favorite computer in the computer lab and goes on the Storyboard Website. One girl online ( PheonixBird) always comments on the stories he writes. But then, as an award, Jason's mom and dad take him to the Storyboard convention that PheonixBird goes to because it's her hometown. Will Jason still go? Is he afraid that Pheonixbird will see his autism and not what is actually inside him?
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK
