The Recruit
95 to the endddddddd.

( I'm going to start from when James gets out of basic training )
After the grueling training period & time in Malaysia, James gets sent on a mission with Amy. On this mission, they're sent to a commune to research a terrorist group, Help Earth. James is pretending to be Amy's younger brother while there staying with there supposed aunt, Cathy Dunn. The Dunn family owns the commune, Glaydis Dunn, the runner, wants to sell it secretly. Her grandsons, Sebastion and Clarke Dunn befriend James and tell him about Scargill, World, and Fire Dunn. They are all supposedly part of Help Earth. When Amy and James discover there lab, James finds nothing out of the ordinary. The next day, Nigel, the director of CHERUB shows up to rush James to the hospital because he might have the possibility of being infected with anthrax from the lab. He thankfully isn't and James and Amy return home. James gets promoted to a navy shirt.

mmk. so.

the subtle knife

so far, will and lyra, the girl who jumped at him are in this one town all alone. then apparently chapters swich between places so in the next chapter...
This one lady, Saraphina Piccola and her coven, and and an aeronaut Lee Scorsby have a meeting about how they are going to find lyra.then in the next chapter....
its back to will and lyra. these two other kids come along, and they talk about the two worlds they come from, and then they walk away. thats where i stopped.

so this book is pretty good. its really unpredictable so even if you think you know whats going to happen you gotta read to find it out.

renee :D
sorry i keep getting sick.
page up to 80 somethingggg.

will and lyra go from the world that they're in back to will's world. the two of them split up. Will goes to find out about his father, and lyra goes to oxford. When will tries to find out about his father, we found that he was on a search party in alaska when he disappeared. not TOO much has happened in this chapter but when lyra goes to her oxford she looks around at a museam.

i think that will's world is actually lyra's world but a LOT later. the book is really good and it keeps you wanting to know what keeps happening.

Snakehead

Pgs. 0-210

This book is really good compared to the two or three I have attempted to read. This book is the last book in the Alex Rider Series. Warning, there is a lot of action in this amount that I have read so far. So far. Alex has been recently encountered with Scorpia, a gang organization that really is quite horrifying. So, in this book, Scorpia, heads a smaller gang, called Snakehead which specializes in the same things scorpia does, except it also Smuggles people. Alex's job is to meet his Godfather Ash, (both his parents & uncle/caretaker after his parents, died, die-Alex wants to do the following mission because he is eager to meet/talk to Ash). The book does start with the Scorpia talking about a large bomb that destroys small areas without much of an impact. So far, it is of no importance. So, he meets with ASIS, of Australia, and is going on this mission w/ them, rather them MI6. So, he and Ash are being smuggled by Snakehead ,and they have to find out how they do it, although Snakehead knows that it is Alex. So, he is actually put in this fight, what they make lots of people who are in the gang do, and he wins, a rarity and blows up the place with a little help from an old friend from MI6. Then, he continues with Ash, to the next part of smuggling. After they make there way to Jakarta, they are put in another place, oh Ash explains his life story to Alex, and they are attack by the Indonesian SAS although they are good. Alex makes his way through, with Ash, and they are about to make there 48 hour trip to Australia (Where they were supposed to be smuggled to).

This boo k is great just like every other Alex Rider. It is full of suspense and not just details, but deceiving details that make you think something will happen, but usually something really surprising happens instead. I really enjoy these books, and I will not stop reading this one for sure.

Kingdom Keepers Disney After Dawn
Right now Charlene is watching the Bat cave so if they see the bat they can capture it again. Phillip the smart one suggests looking for Wayne on VMK. While on VMK they here Jez's I pod sining Under the C. They mistakenly think it means under the sea so they look around Animal Kingdom for something Under the Sea. When they can not find anything Phillip spots Wayne. Wayne gives Phillip a sword in VMK and then trolls come after them in the game. After killing the trolls they realize that the second server is in Dino-Land. When they go to Dino-land Wayne gets captured but they kill the second server. There the find a map. On the map it has a C. They realize that under the C is were Jez is. They go under the see and find Jez. After they rescue her they realize the antagonist just wanted them to expose Wayne. They book ends with the antagonist wakening her master.

This was one dumb book. Instead of saying a curse word they would say freaking though he really said another word. They tried to make it so our age group would like it and I almost died reading this book. I would not recommend this to anybody except 5 year olds.

Life of pie- post of week of 26

Even though I am back, according to the date I am blogging under, I am still supposed to be in India. Speaking of India, life of pie was about an Indian boy who gets stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger. I don’t feel like writing about this book though. I only feel like writing about Kit Runner. I totally loved that book. You don’t hear me say that too often. It was one piece of work. In the book, a boy named Amir Lives in Kabul, Afghanistan. He has a best friend named Hassan. The story sets off though when something very bad happens to Hassan. Amir feels that he betrayed Hassan by not defending him. Because of the war, Amir has to leave Kabul. He goes to America. Only twenty years later does he find out that Hassan is dead. Still feeling guilty about not defending Hassan, Amir travels back to his childhood place to bring home Hassan’s orphaned little boy.

I absolutely loved this book because it has everything a good book should have in it. It has action, revenge avengeance, father son bonding, and a whole bunch of other things. If your looking for a good book to read, read this.

The book i am currently being forced to read is called the pearl, the book is about kino- some dude who lives in the island juna- some girrl who lives in the islands and coyotito- some babby that lives in the island. When Coytito is injured by a scorpin in the beggining of the story juana and kino panick so they try to take the little brat to the doctor but the jack@$$ of a doctor will not help the baby becuase he thinks the parents of the child and eveyone else who is a native of a island a animal. (The only reason I call the doctor a jack@$$, is becuase of him the story goes on even longer, if he would have treated coyotito in the first place the story might have been over quicker). So after that kino finds a pearl the girl lives and kino gets rid of the pearl becuase it is evil and THE END.

After the Indonesian SAS comes where Alex and Ash are being smuggled, they jump into a van, with a guy that is part of Snakehead to escape. They realize they are driving to the ship where they will arrive in Australia. Alex ends up being separated from Ash where he is put into a cargo box with 20 other illegal immigrants. He makes his way onto the ship trying to fiqure out what to do for 2 days. When he got into the box, he presented to stumble, but he had actually used a coin that Smithers had given him and it would break the pin on the cargo door so that he could get out. He did, and he did not want anyone to follow him. He makes his way around the ship and up to a corridor where he discovers a secret bomb, called Royal Blue. The closest thing to nuclear. It was perfect for any domestic disturbance. He realizes that a guy had followed him from the cargo box, and it was a guy who had spoken to him and introduced him. He endued up being killed by Major Yu, the head of Snakehead and part of Scorpia. He was a killer. The captain was worried (he is also part of this group) that he could be killed for not finding the kid (Alex). He was not, and they had just arrived in Australia but, was not going to dock for a while. Alex heard everything that went on in Major Yu's office because he was under his bead all day and night.

This book is as usual for this series, one of my favorites. It it great writing with all the suspense. I will be finished soon, so the next blog will most likely be the last one for this blog.

The Pearl
chapters 5 and 6

At night time Kino catches Juana trying to throw the pearl out. He punches her and then kicks her in the side. Two guys come up and try to kill Kino and the Pearl comes out of Kino's hand.Kino kills the one guy and the other guy runs away. Juana gets the Pearl and tries to hide the body. At sunrise, they see their house is burning down. They hide in his brother's house and grab Coyotito. They continue to try to sell the pearl but are followed by a search party. they hear coyotie cry and they think its an animal. They shoot at it to scare it away and they actually shoot coyotito. Kino kills one of the guys then hears Juana scream and finds his son dead. Then go back home and throw the pearl out because they know the pearl is evil...

This book is pretty good but i think that if they went through all the trouble, they would want to get the money at least. Kino was selfish and he should have been the one to die. He wanted to send Coyotito to school with the money and ended up killing him because of his selfishness.

The Chronicals of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe
page 1 to end

In this book there are 6 main characters. Edmond, Peter, Lucy, and Susan are four humans sent to a scientists house to get away from the danger of World War Two in Great Britain. There were bombings all day and it wasn't safe for them there. They go to live with a scientist in an amazing house. The first day they're there Lucy discovers Narnia through a wardrobe. She tells everyone that she has discovered Narnia and has met Mr. Tumnas a half-human half-goat. All the creatures in Narnia are a bit different than animals we know. One example of this is most of the animals are a mixture of human and animal and they can talk. All of the trees can hear and have feelings. On the second day the family (due to rain) plays hide and seek. Edmond stumbles upon Narnia later after Lucy goes back in. He meets the queen is is nasty but feeds him Turkish-Delight making him fell comfortable and makes him tell her anything she wants.In the proficy,two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve have to beat the witch in war and save Narnia from the evil witch. She finds out he has brothers and sisters to fulfill this proficy. Instead of killing him she asks him to bring his family so she can kill them all. When Edmond gets back he won't admit there's really Narnia because he doesn't want Lucy to be proven right. Later they find she is right. Since she and Edmond were only gone for a few seconds, the professor explains that maybe the time zone is altered. A second in our time is like one-hundred years in there time. They all go in and discover the witch is evil from the talking Bever. Mr. Tumnus had been frozen to stone for treason. They go through plans to go meet Asland the lion who will help them defeat the white witch. Before they get done the plans Edmond goes to the witch to be prince and get more Turkish delight. When the queen knows he didnt bring the brothers she treats him badly and he knows she's the evil one. The family arrives to Asland and the lion finds Edmond is missing. Santa Clause gives each person a weapon when they meet. Peter, a shield and sword. Lucy, a dagger and a potion to heal any womb. Susan, a horn for when shes in danger, help will come bow and arrow and Santa exclaims times are bad when women need to fight in war. Four wolves come to attack and Susan. Peter kills one and the rest are followed by the fastest people in the army because the wolves will lead them to the witch. They do, and eventually retrieve Edmond. The queen talks to Asland in private and declares the rule of 'deep magic', a person who comitts treasons is hers to own. Asland acts like the verse in the bible and says take my life instead of his knowing if someone has done no wrong they will come back. Susan and Lucy follow and see what has happened. As they were crying he ressurected. When the war begins the good guys get crushed the lion brings all the stones to life and they come to fight. Later, they win and when they're older about 30 they finally find the wardrobe again and enter it. When they return only a couple of seconds have passed and they resume life as it is...

THE END

It's a good book and an easy test I got 9 out of 10 questions right. You do have to read the book because they movie is a lot different than the book (TEHRAN)

So then will came out of the library he is about to go into a law firm when he sees that guy come out of a car and go in there so will stays away. During all of this, lyra is with dr. malone. she is telling her about how she comes from a different world. at first the doctor doesnt beleive her but then they get into this in depth conversation and then the doctor starts to believe it so she asks lyra to come back tomorrow and show another doctor and lyra says yeah.
