     I am reading a book called Serendipity & Me by Judith L. Roth and it is about a girl named Sara and her hard times that come to a good ending. Sara's mother died when she was young so it is just her and her dad. Sara has always wanted a cat but her father always says no without any reasoning. When Sara gets sick, she can't act in her school play making her miserable. One night, she hears scratching at her door so she opens it making a little white kitten pounce in. She only has a week before her kitten has to go so she needs to convince her dad and make plans to keep it. She names the cat Serendipity right away. Sara eventually uncovers her family secrets and gets to keep Serendipity.          The main character, Sara reminds me of  Nikki from the book series: Dork diaries. There isn't a lot of connections between these characters and books but there is one. Sara and Nikki both have hard time in middle school that sometimes lead ...

I'm reading Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard. Imagine your world is divided by blood; silver blood and red blood. Silver bloods have abilities while red bloods don't. Your a red blood, but you have abilities. This book is the second book in the series. In the first book the silver kingdom discovered her powers and betrothed her to the kings youngest son(Maven), which was her age. Mare is also being taught to be a proper princess while she is in the kingdom. One of Mare's teacher's, Julian, knows she is not a silver but still teaches her how to use her abilities. Mare and Maven secretly join a terrorist group against the silvers, called the Scarlet Guard. The Scarlet Guard wants the silver kingdom and reds to be even. Mare joins the Scarlet Guard because she thought her brother(Shade) died. But then the king died because Maven and his mother(Elara) killed him, Maven blamed the death on his older brother(Cal). So now everyone believes that Mare and Cal killed the king.  M...

I am reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This book is about two teenagers with cancer fall in love and go places together to live life to their fullest ability, while still accepting the fact that they are dying, in the end something is lost. What do you think this is? Hazel and Augustus are together and in love, but their lives are much different than our lives, they both have cancer. They meet at a support group and immediately fall in love. Hazel and Augustus both read and "their book" is An Imperial Infliction. They go to  Amsterdam together and meet the author of their book and he turns out to be very rude.  When they get back something is lost and is very sad.    My book is a book that has a lot to do with life and you can learn many lessons from reading it. The book reminds me of Nicholas Sparks books not because the romance in both books but because its about life and what goes on in life and both authors can help you relate so well to...

       So have you been wondering what has happened in the book Jeremy Fink and the meaning of life. The author that wrote my book is Wendy Mass. So far what has happened is Jeremy has gotten in trouble. He got in trouble because while he was searching for the keys for his book he went into a office of the person they thought had the keys and it was not the right office. So a security guard caught them. Now they have to do a whole summer of coummmity service.    This reminds me of part in Jeremy Fink and the meaning of life of a part in Judy moody.It reminds me of this book because Judy the main character because in the book it tells how she has a long list of things to do over the summer  but as soon as its start all her friends leave to go to somewhere and she stuck at home. Also she trying to accomplish all these things before summer is over so she goes on jorrneys to. That why this reminds me of the book Iḿ reading.   It s...

     Have you ever read the book Heat or the book Papi. Heat is written by Mike Lupica and Papi is written by David Ortiz. Heat is about a kid who has a very good throwing arm but his dad dies and he needs his birth cirtificate to play. Papi is about David Ortiz life and what he went throuh to get to the majors.      The book Heat shows all the kids playing baseball and training to be the best and in the book Papi it shows him doing what he does and how he gets to the majors. In Heat Micheal doesnt have his birth cirtificate and he trys so hard to get it and finally gets his birth cirtificate. Which in Papi it shows David Ortiz trying his hardest to get to the majors and he finally made it. This Charachter Micheal is like Papi because in both books they accomplish what they want.      I think that these books are almost the exact same becuase they both connect on baseball and have to try as hard as they can. I felt sad when reading Heat I...

           I am reading the The Sea of Monsters y. Rick Riordan. What happen so far is that Percy and his friends Annabeth  and Tyson went on a trip to save their friend Grover and they need to get him before the cyclopes eat him.The get help from the sea god.On the they have trouble with the god of magic.           Percy reminds me of me because he is smart and i am smart.He makes good plans and i make great plan.He likes to help friends and i like help my friend. Annabeth reminds me of my sister because she is always bossing Percy and she is always bossing me around.          I fell that the next book i think maybe they need to add more or better events in the book.I also think adding less pages would make it much easier and much better to get done with.Also The need to add more facts about it.In the next book maybe change the characters point of view and how it is told like maybe Percy had kids a...

          I am reading  The Maze Runner by James Dashner.  This story is about a boy named Thomas who was brainwashed and taken to a place called the Glades. Thomas was very curious on running in the maze inside the Glades. When he had the chance, Thomas went into the maze and became a runner. Thomas is starting to put together clues and messages he has found to why he went to the glades in the first place. He is now trying to decode a message that has been created, so he can stop the danger. Thomas and the other runners need to defeat the grievers, and what is happening to their world.           The scene where the ferocious creatures (grievers) come and are trying to break their way into the map room, reminds me of the book The Hunger Games . That specific scene reminds me of  The Hunger Games  because when the other creatures (mutts) come out from the forest, the characters were prepared as well, but struggled to...
