Henderson's Boys: The Escape

Being a dedicated fan to Robert Muchamore's series, CHERUB, I have found another spin-off spy novel that I guarantee will have your eyes glued to the pages.
In the first book, The Escape, meet Marc Kilgor, a French orphan in the midst of the bloodiest times on earth, World War II. Hitler's army is expanding towards France, prepare to kill any civilians that gets in the way. Air raids are already showing. Everyone is on the run, trying to escape to Britain. Many die on the way. No shelter from the war, food on rations and in a short supply, constant air raids on buildings, it is not surprising people don't make it.
Marc has planned on escaping his orphanage for many years, but he just can't do it. He wanted to escape his torturous roommates and his headmaster. It wasn't possible. It was miles away from any major city and he had no forms of free transportation other than foot.
One day he recieves the news that his headmaster had bought a shiny brand new bike, unlocked, free for anyone in the orphanage to touch. With the help of his roommates that taunted and dared him to run away, he sees his chance and summons up his courage and runs away, also stealing some food and money from his headmaster's room, which turned out to be very useful.
On the other hand, Charles Henderson was a British spy that was currently smuggling a blueprint for an advances technology in World War II from the Germans for the British. Everyone in Hitler's army is trying to hunt him down. They havn't succeeded yet.
Marc has taken refuge in Charles Henderson's house unknowning broke in. He discovers the house's owner when he saw a letter addressed to Charles Henderson, which he had not know was a spy. The German's found the house, broke in and searched to find the boy, Marc. Tortured for information and the German's got none. Charles returned and found him bleeding in his house, but still alive. Marc agreed to help Charles on his undercover mission and followed him all the way through.
Charles Henderson realised the potential of children working in undercover missions and founded the organisation, currently known as CHERUB which is continued in another series.
Read on to find out what happens to the spies and who they met on the way.

So Much To Tell You by John Marsden

This is a book I read a while back and thought it would be interesting to share. Its the story of a young girl, Marina, who has a very troubled life, she is a mute. She also has a scared face given to her by her father due to an acid spill after the accident she refuses to talk to anyone during recovery and her mother (who grows tired of her being mute) sends her to Warrington Boarding School in an effort to improve her communication, but even there she continues to silence. Until her English teacher Mr Lindell gives the glasses journals to write in, Mariana takes to it a sort of a joke writing down very trivial things about her life at school, but as time goes on she starts to write more deep things and this becomes her only source of communication, as the book progresses she meets a girl by the name of Cathy Preshill, she is the closest thing Marina has to a friend she is tall and thin and likes to read poetry, by the end of the book she goes to meet her father in what appears to be prison but the author isn't clear. And says her only words in the entire book: "Hello, Dad," and "I've got so much to tell you..."

This is a book that nearly every teenager in the world should read its got the whole deal: boys and girls, sex and family defiantly a good book that I love reading and its won a few awards which is cool too :)

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is for sure one of the most famous novels of Jane Austen.
With the main character Elizabeth Bennet, we enter the world and lifestyle of the 19Th century:

Elizabeth is intelligent, attractive, but she often judges people on first impressions. She first meets Darcy, a wealthy young man who's handsome and smart but seems to be proud and cares too much about his social status, at a dance and starts immediately to think that Darcy is a hateful person. As time passes by, Elizabeth finds other reasons to hate Darcy, mainly because of his maltreatment of Wickham, Elizabeth's new-met friend, and also due to the rumors of Darcy trying to separate his friend, Bingley and Jane, Elizabeth's older sister.
But funnily, despite Elizabeth's repugnance towards him, Darcy finds himself drawn to Elizabeth.

But too proud to declare his love, he continues to stay cold and distant.

These two young persons, one blinded by prejudice and the other too proud to declare his true feelings, continue to confront each other until one day when all the misunderstandings are clarified.

This book is one of my favorites out of all the books that I've read. In it, I found humor, beautiful descriptions of people and places, and mostly, an intriguing plot full of suspense which kept me reading, and wondering what was going to happen next.

If you like to read classics, then you would definitely love this book!

Demon haunted world - Ryan Weinstein

Before you start to peer down the twisted labaryth that is "The demon haunted world" I must remind you to bring your ball of string because you will soon find you need it dearly.
This book is the perfect book for those who are interusted in TOK. You will also find this book perfect if you are a terrible sceptic that only wants to go deeper into strange ideas. As is all physics books, especialy those that are leaning more towards quantom mechanics rather than physics, you must allow yourself to realize that this book will make you a much worse person before there is any hope of becoming a better one. When you read this book, if you are able to grasp the strange truths, you also need to know that in no way should any of this ever be used in an argument. Reading this books like this is the closest you can go to reading a book on dark magic. Also if you want to take a bit of advice from me, mentioning this in an argument with a highly religious person will get you thrown out of whichever dwelling you happen to be in.
This book is ludicrous, strange, and blasphemy in most churches. It is also true.

-Deus kave Misericordia an Meus Animus!

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Eclipse the third book of the Twilight Saga, continues the story of Bella Swan and her vampire love with Edward Cullen. In this book Bella is presented with a choice, one that would decide the fate of all characters involved in this novel; to choose to marry Edward and become a vampire or to love Jacob and stay human. The broken ribbon on the cover of the book represents these two options, they also represent Bella struggling to find the correct answer.

Continuing from the previous book New Moon Bella gets back with loving Edward but sees a new problem as Jacob Black also loves her. To complicate things even more, Jacob Black is a "Shape-Shifter Wolf" aka werewolf who's worst enemy is Edward Cullen because he is a vampire. As the story progresses, Bella found out that one of her die-hard old enemies has summoned an army to kill her, because of this she required the cooperation of both the vampires and the werewolfs to join and defeat the army. The question is will the two enemies cooperate to battle the army? More importantly, who will Bella pick? Edward Cullen or Jacob Black.

This book is recommended to any one who likes a bit of a chill mixed with sweet romance, although it is better if not already to start reading from the first book of the series, "Twilight".

The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith

This book is by far the best book I've ever read, well the only series of book I've ever read actually. I don't read books in the past but after watching the drama on TV (and this is very different from Twilight and way more interesting), which kept me in so much suspense that I couldn't stand it anymore and went to the bookstore and bought the whole series back and read all the way from the beginning.

This series contains up to 6 books (one still unpublished till late 2010 or early 2011) and it is about two Salvatore brothers who fell in love with a girl named Katherine in 1864. They had no idea that she was a vampire until she turned the both of them into vampires. There were a lot of hatred between the brothers because of Katherine and they couldn't even stand the sight of seeing each other. As a vampire, you get to live an eternal life which the Salvatore brothers did. And now in 2006, Stefan Salvatore met Elena, queen bee of high school who looks exactly like Katherine but with the exact opposite personalities. Elena has two best friends, Bonnie, who discovers to be a witch/psychic eventually and Meridith who's oddly calm with all that's happening. Stefan and Elena fell in love very soon and Damon tried to ruin the relationship by trying to turn Elena into a vampire because of both the hatred he has for Stefan and how impossibly alike Elena and Katherine looks.

There are many twists in the series and I love the book very much. I know every young adult of our generation would like it too since we're being called the "Vampire-kids" these days after the Twilight craze.

My Sister's Keeper-Jodi Picoult

Every now and then, you will read a book that really touches your heart, and leaves you thinking long after you had finished it. Well for me, one of those books is called, "My Sister's Keeper."
Anna Fitzgerald, a thirteen year old girl, who had gone through a few painful operations to provide bone marrow and blood to keep her sister Kate alive, had decided to go against her parents. Kate has suffered from leukemia, a type of cancer since she was two. Anna had been forced to donate one of her kidneys to her sister. She hired a lawyer, Campbell Alaxander, to sue her parents for the rights of her body. Will Anna win this case and watch her sister die, or will she be persuaded to give up one of her kidneys? Read this book and find out.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about relationships and emotions. It's a well plotted book and keeps your head burried to the book until the last page. I also recommend a box of tissue ready because it's a book that really gets you.

Twilight - Stephenie Meyer

Twilight


My friend in Korea recommended this book. She is a fan of this one. I bought it about a year ago and I finally read it now.

It is a story mainly about Bella and Edward. Bella is a girl who lived in Phoenix with her mom. Her mother got remarried, so Bella's real father lived in Forks. She had been living with her mother, and her second husband was living in other place. Bella left for Forks, because her mother missed her second husband so much. Bella attended Forks High School and met Cullen family. They are all pale, and remarkably handsome and pretty. She had a biology class with Edward Cullen, and I think she liked him since. At first, Edward seemed as if he hated Bella, and for the next 4 more days, he didn't showed up in school.
Next week, he came to school and saved Bella from being crashed by a truck. Bella became suspicious about Ed, because it is hard to belive someone far away save you without even get hurt. And they have some more problems each other.
Few days later, Bella went to Lafourche beach, and heard from Jacob about wolfman and vampire. From this, Bella began to search whether Edward is a vampire or not. Finally, Bella found that Ed is a vampire, and they fell in love each other.
When it was raining and thunder was striking, Bella and Cullen family went for a baseball play and they met some bad vampires. Those guys figured out that Bella is not a vampire and just an ordinary person, and they tried to kill her. To kill her, those bad vampires used vedio which was recorded by Bella's mother. They called Bella to come to ballet practice center and bit her, even though Edward arrived there first to rescue her. If person is bitten by vampire, they become vampire. Edward didn't want Bella to be a vampire as he is, so he sucked out all the venoms in her body.
And then, they lived as a good loving couple. That's the end of this story, and the ending part is bit odd because there are 4 books in Twilight series, and I didn't read New Moon yet. I will post it later.

Dragon's Nest by Emily Rodda

If you enjoy reading about impossible quests in fantasy worlds, you should really try this book: "Dragon's nest" is the first book of the series "Dragons of Deltora". The book is written by Emily Rodda and uses simple words for easy understanding. This is the type of book that can be read in on week if you really like it.

The story is about three companions who must defend their kingdom, called Deltora, from four evil sisters sent by their enemy, the shadowlord, to poison the earth whith their singing and make people die of hunger.To destroy the four sisters, they must require the help of the ancient dragons of Deltora, hidden away long ago to prevent from extinction. Surprisingly, the three companions get away with it in each episode!

I really liked the story, it made me want to read the other episodes. The story is good from the beginning but it starts to get really interesting by the middle until the end where most of the action occurs. This book is recommended to anybody not too serious.

Please write a comment if you like my review!

Crusade - By Elizabeth Laird

This story develops on two tracks, one follows Adam, a christian serf of an English baron; the other follws Salim, a muslim apprentice of a well respected doctor.

This story is set in the medival times. When Salim, a merchant's son in Acre; when he hears that the city is being attacked by crusaders. To keep him safe, his dad sends him off with a doctor as an apprentice. Acre, also known as the Holy Land, had once been ruled by the crusaders until the great muslim, Saladin took it back.

He also wants to Once they arrive, they lay seige to Acre and crushes the city with the help of King Richard. Thats when the lives of the two boys link together. Not every encounter is a good one.

The Swarm- Frank Schatzing

The Swarm is a novel that discusses the possibility of humans not being the 'dominant' species on Earth; and that a more intelligent life form's existence.

The book has a number of characters investigating what abnormal- and highly threatening- events that first occur around the world's oceans. There are a number of smaller stories that go on, but they all eventually merge with the main plot.

I can't explain too much about the book; that'll give the whole plot away (which, by the way, is one of the most detailed, intricate and complex plots I' ve ever read). What I CAN tell you is that this book certainly challenges the reader to think. It's not one of those short books one finishes after a night of reading; it's more of a book which- by the time the reader finishes the story- leaves the reader in deep thought.

The book doesn't simply discuss the so-called 'human superiority', it also mentions our impact on the environment, and our inability to comprehend the possibility of a species of superior intelligence.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows by J.K. Rowling

For all you Harry Potter fans, i would recommend this book.

Its been a year after Dumbledore was killed and Harry, Ron and Hermione have to do what seems like to be an impossible task: to destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. He has doubt and has never felt more alone or faced a future so full of shadow. But he has look inside of himself to find the strength he need to complete the almost impossible task of destroying the Horcruxes. He must leave the safety, and coziness of The Burrow and follow his destiny, the dark dangerous path that was laid before him.

He encounters many different and dangerous things than he would if he'd gone to back to Hogwarts. It consists of many twists and turns of the unexpected, running from Voldemort's Death Eaters, and fighting the battle that will decide the fate of Harry, his friends and Hogwarts.

Once you start to read this book it is going to be hard to put it down. I am speaking from experience. I personally think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is the best book of the series.

If you find Harry Potter interesting think about reading it, even though i think a lot of people have.

A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass

A Mango- Shaped Space by Wendy Mass

This is a book cautiously chosen by my sister, and I enjoyed it a lot. The author had done many research to write this book, which is her first novel for the young readers. This story is based on facts and true experiences; It contains varied of contents include: love, friendhip, difference, humor, and grief.

Mia seems to be an ordinary girl apart from her sister, Beth, who dyes her hair in different color every week; and her brother Zack who records a chart of number of hamburgers he has eaten in his life. She has a sensitive dad who rarely stays at ground level, a neat mom who used to be a science teacher, best friend Jenna who often runs outside and do PIC (Partners in Crime) missions with her, also a cat Mango, which she believes part of granpa's soul is in. But she has a secret noone knows, that she see colors whenever she sees a letter, number, or hear a sound. She keeps it since she experienced be calling a freak, when she trys to tell them numbers do have colors in third grade. She can see brown rings when someone closes the door. She can see people's name in different colors, which hers is in candy apple red with a hint of light green. She named her cat "Mango" not from its orange eyes, but from the mango-orange puff when it wheezes. Mia always lives through these colors. This ability benefits her at history and art, but she has lots of difficulty on Math and Spanish because of the colors.

One day, Mia got in trouble with math and get 2 F grades. She revealed the truth about the colors to her parents to deal with her problems. They went to many doctors, and when she felt so isolated was about to give up, she met Jerry who finally unlock their bewilderments. It is a very uncommon condition-synesthesia, which senses coming together at the same time. Afterwards Jerry give Mia a website where she can meet synesthetes. She met Adam on line who is also a synesthete, and is so excited about someone who feels the same as her. She thinks they are the only group of people who will understand her. Mia is so wrapped up and began to pay less attention on other things. She even lies about earache to get acupuncture in order to enhance her synesthesia. She felt sick of everyone, ignored their care, even argued frequetly with her friend and family. She is lost in her own world.

Unfortunately, her cat Mango died in a freezing night after she just had a meeting with the synesthetes. Mia felt guilty and empty, enable to eat or sleep. She shrieked frustrately when Mango stopped breathing, tears streaming down without control. Her colors were gone, and part of the soul of grandpa had left,too. There is no more mango-color wheeze, only a colorless mango -shape space. Gradually, Mia overcame the grief of Mango's death with the support of her family and friends. Her colors came back when she is helping a boy Billy to understand his condition, who also has synesthesia. At the end, she and Zack found the son of Mango in the Ross' house, with a familiar mustard-colored wheeze. An idea is hatching in her mind, about the small mustard.

This book brought me an entirely different view of seeing things. Mostly people only believe and judge things they see or understand; but there are always people who can see different things from us. We should respect and accept them eventhough we don't understand it. This is what they live through, they view things. Some of them have their own difficulties either. For instance, people can see ghost might often see some horrifying sights, althought they don't want to. We have to feel sympathy about their situation, and understand their feelings.

Maybe there are shapes and colors, even characteristics in sounds, letters, and numbers; because we react on each of them differently. I come up with unique when I think of 1, but I come up with caring when I think of 8. Yellow arrows(triangles) appear in my mind when I hear cars breaking; but brown cubes appeared when I hear door knocks. Maybe it is part of "Living Art "we don't pay attention and see.

Furthermore, this book taught me to cherish what you have, no matter it is family, love, or friendship. If we only have a short time, then hold it tight. At least we enjoy our time and settled each other in our memory, not leaving with regrets. In addition, to avoid regrets, we have to share our problems, or tell to people trustworthy when we aren't feeling well before it's too late. Misundersttod is a gap, it is small but can cause big problem. Try to understand the reason why they do that when you are angry, before blurting out mean words without thinking like a barking dog.

In conclusion, "A Mango-Shaped Space" is a very entertaining and warm-hearted book to read. Some people might burst into tear and sniffles when they read it. It helps us to deal with not only synesthetes, also other people different from us. There are some advanced vocabulary in it, but basically it's clear and easy to understand. I strongly recommand this book to everyone!

The Last Song- Nicholas Sparks

Veronica "Ronnie" Miller won't be eighteen until the end of the summer, so she has to follow her mom's rules and is off with her younger brother, Jonah, to spend the summer with her dad in a North Carolina beach town. Ronnie hasn't talked to her dad in over three years. He left New York City and their family and moved back to his hometown. Ronnie is rebellious and having been arrested for shoplifting back home, a quiet summer in North Carolina might be the best thing for her. At least that's what her mother thinks.

Ronnie arrives with the intention of ignoring her dad. On her first night there she wanders the beach and meets a girl, Blaze, who seems okay. But Blaze is addicted to Marcus, and Marcus is bad news. And Marcus is interested in Ronnie. Ronnie can tell Marcus is trouble and tries to avoid him. But the triangle will ultimately create problems.

On a brighter note, Jonah is totally content in North Carolina and with spending time with his father. He has no desire to return to New York City. Jonah has joined his father in creating a replacement stained glass window for a church that burned in town.

As the summer unfolds, Ronnie falls in love with a local boy, Will. She discovers the wonders of Loggerhead turtles. And she learns to trust her father all over again. As the summer comes to a close, more than one tragedy occurs, and Ronnie must face some hard truths in her life.

I have to admit that it's been a while since I truly loved one of Mr. Sparks' novels. Don't get me wrong, I do adore his work. But it's been ages since I sat down with one of his books and found myself with tears in my eyes. This was one of those rare stories. With about forty pages to go in the novel, I found myself with wet eyes and the sniffles.

Who Moved My Cheese?

Change. It happens to every one. Spencer Johnson presents his thoughts as a fable about dealing with change in business and personal life.

The story revolves around four imaginary characters; two mice, "Sniff" and "Scurry" and two "littlepeople", "Hem" and "Haw". They are used to represent the simple and the complex parts of our lives. They live in a maze where they spend their time looking for, running around and eating cheese. In this case, cheese represents our goal or what we want in life.

Each day, they would race around the maze racing and searching for their favorite cheese. They would find their own cheese at the end of one of the corridors in Cheese Station C until finally, they started to establish their own routines.

What do you want when your world is changing?

Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Have you ever wanted to love someone, treasure someone, and wait for someone?

When John jumped off the railing at the beach to catch Savannah's bag, he knew he is in love with this woman. Only two weeks, only a couple conversations, they knew completely about each other.

John enlisted the army after high school, as the break quickly went by, John has to go back to the army station located in Germany. Their time together wasn't long, but the love between them made Savannah vowing to wait for John.

By phones and letters, John and Savannah felt like they still have each other beside them, until 9/11, the day that changed the world and their love. John must choose between love and country. While John was fighting for the country, a heart was broken at the other side of the world.

"Dear John" as the letter read, their relationship ended, with tears.

I really enjoy reading this book, because it involves lots of conversations, which made this book more realistic. The ending was very unexpected and touching, it made me cry because I felt really bad for John, how he's hurt but doesn't show, and still love and cares about the woman who doesn't love him anymore.

p.s. The movie "Dear John" is coming out soon!

I like this book because it is funny and exciting to read if Abby moves houses. And because i can relate to the character's feelings. I reccomend this book to 8- 12 .

Lockie Leonard by Tim Winton

You might think romance is boring but really this isn't just romance it's about a boy who is 12 years of age who is moving to the cost of Australia with his family after living in the city called perth. The book is made up of romance of a young teenager, humor of a family who likes to tease each other and the not very nice experiences of starting at a new school.

Lockie Leonard (main character) is a surfer who moves to the costs and is hit by all the problems of growing up. It isn't easy starting at a new school and starting high school at the same time but Lockie Leonard has to put up with it . lockie does like school too much so he spends most his time at school day dreaming. when he isn't day dreaming he is thinking about the girl who sits at the front of class. Lockie Leonard knows he has no chance with the girl who sit at the front of the class first of all he doesn't even know her name second of all she is like the most popular girl in school.

But if you want to know what happens between the girl at the front of class and Lockie then you better read the book.

i'd recommend this from the ages of 12 to 14 because people younger would find it disgusting and the people older would find it boring. i'd give the book out of 10 about 9

Michael Gates Gill was living the American Dream, he became the hot-shot Creative Director of one of the top advertisement firms in the United States just after graduating Yale. He also once owned a beautiful mansion in Bronxville, about 50 Brooks Brothers suits and a perfect family with a charming picture-perfect Stepford-Esq wife with a few of those darling kids essential for a All-American family included.

As a privileged son of the famous writer Brendan Gill, Mike never imagined that anyone or anything could intrude his perfect little bubble made of accomplishments, successes, cooperate greed and his own arrogance. That bubble popped when he was called into a breakfast meeting with his boss and was told he was let go, stripped of his throne at the top of the cooperate chain. Having found out that he was unseated from his job of over 25 years, he was devastated. His life went downhill, so did everything that revolved around him. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor, then due to exasperation became involved in a affair, that which ultimately led to a divorce between him and his wife.

The day he was ready to off himself, he found his salvation, he entered a Starbucks shop, unknowing that there was a hiring event, and was offered a job by the store manager, Crystal. She young African American woman who grew up in the Detroit, she had an abusive husband and a unprivileged childhood which she appreciated, therefore made her a kind, empathic being. While working at Starbucks, (He still does!) he changed spiritually and physically. His suit was replaced with a green apron, his ego was replaced with a beating heart.

The people that he used to work with when he was successful ignored him. The people who stood up for him were his true friends and his kids. This is a truly moving memoir of a man who was put out like a smoked cigarette who then rebuilt himself from his own ashes. This book is recommended to anyone who has empathy and emotion because this story has life lessons like regret and appreciation, all which learn sooner or later. Read this book and dwell in it's warmth. You know you want to.

Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult

In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge.

Sterling high is an ordinary school, well used to be. Peter Houghton, a sensitive boy, was different from the other peoples eyes. He was always a target for the other people to bully; verbally and physically. He could never fit in. His only friend, Josie Cormier; the judges daughter, is the one that gives him hope.

As they grow up, Josie becomes one of the popular crowd and begins to ignore Peter. The bullying gets worse and he becomes frustrated.

One day, Peter brings two guns to his school and starts shooting. After nineteen minutes, ten kids are killed and many are wounded. Josie Cormier is the only witness the judges and police have, but says that she can't remember a single thing.

Nineteen minutes is a book about difference, how we judge people and if we know who we really are or just what we seem to be.

stop in the name of pants

In all the books, an angsty-and-quite-whiny Georgia goes on and on and on about boys. Her crushes. Her boyfriends. Her exes. Her close encounters. Of the official sort, there's Robbie, the one and only sex god of book one and two, and Masimo, her dreamy Italian, featured in the last handful of books. But through it all--through most if not all of the nine books there has been Dave the Laugh. Her on-again off-again snogging partner, her best mate. No matter that she's got a boyfriend or that he's got a girlfriend, when these two get together snogging almost always sort've happens. For the record, I love, love, love Dave the Laugh. And my *favorite* scenario to end the series if it does ever end which doesn't seem that likely would be to have her end up with Dave.
I like this book alot because it is really funny and how she talk about boys!And I am a big fan of books like this! :)

Love that dog

"Love that dog" from Sharon Creech is about a boy named Jack who was the kind of boy that doesn't play along the rules. He doesn't want to write poetry because he thought that only girls do that, but one day, his teacher Miss StretchBerry made her class write a poem about their pets; but Jack refused to. At last, his dog Sky died and so he wrote a poem about sky to show how much he loves his dog, and he handed in the poem as the homework at the same time.

What is so interesting about his book is about how Jack strongly refused to write poems and how Mr. Walter Deans Myers tried to inspire Jack at first; and after Sky died Jack finally realized how poems could express his feelings. The cool part about the ending of the book is that it ends with the poem that Jack dedicated to his dog. Even though the poem was only 35 words, but it really did express the love of Jack to his dog, it honestly touched my heart.

The boy who lost his face by Louis Sachar

Have you ever been cursed? What did you do to break the curse and have your normal life back again? David Ballinger and his friends are sneaking behind Mrs. Bayfield's bush waiting for the right time to steal her snake-head cane. There has been a rumor about Mrs. Bayfield who is a witch that smells like a pig so she becomes a good target to the boys. The boys pretended to visit Mrs. Bayfield and when the right time comes, they took her cane, pulled the rocking chair, poured lemonade over her face, and broke her window. Unluckily, David was the last person when running off so he saw Mrs. Bayfield's underpants. Mrs. Bayfield got so angry, she yelled out, "Your Doppelganger will regurgitate on your soul!"

David did feel bad for what he did, but it was too late. The curse has struck him. All the things David and his friends did to Mrs. Bayfield begin to happen on him. Everything in David's life was going down the wrong path. His friends didn't want to talk to him anymore, his pants fell down when he was about to ask Tori, who David liked, for her phone number, and when he was throwing ball with his brother, Ricky, the ball broke the window. David was terrified that he began to ask people to help him break the curse.

I really enjoy reading this book, and I recommend the book to all teenagers. I think David isn't a bad kid, because he feels guity for what he did to Mrs. Bayfield and he even went to apologize to her. The author is teaching the readers that if you do something wrong, you will have to make some sacrifices. It is important that people learn their mistakes and willing to apologize for what they have done.

Sixth Grade Secrets by Louis Sachar

Have you ever thought about creating a secret club at school? Writing "CLUB WORDS" on the classroom board in early mornings before the teacher walks in, doesn't that sound interesting and fun?

Laura Sibbie, sixth grade, president of Pig City. The story started at a garage sale when Laura saw a hat with "Pig City" written on it. Due to this idea, Laura started a secret club called Pig City with her best friends, Allison and Tiffany. The entrance of joining this club is to tell a embarrassing secret. No one is allowed to tell anyone about Pig City besides the members.

Writing words such as "Pig Rules" on the board everyday seems to be a fun job for Laura, until one day a boy name Gabriel found out the secret of Pig City. Gabriel has a secret crush on Laura, he knew about Pig City, and hoping Laura would invite him to join the club.

Gabriel tried to hint Laura to invite him by passing notes to her, but the notes were changed by a girl who hates Laura. The misunderstanding started. Gabriel decided to create a new club too, called Monkey Town...

This novel is very attractive, because it's very realistic and funny which made me wanted to keep reading this book. Also, it is about school life, boys and girls, which we understands and knew what they are talking about. This book involved not only humor, but also relationships, misunderstanding, and sadness. The ending chapter was very touching, and I really like it. I suggest this novel to everyone, you will be laughing and rolling on the floor when you read it.

The visions, the numbers, the deaths. How could these all link together? Well, it happens to happen on a young teenage white girl whose name is Jem. What’s so special about Jem you might wonder, Jem was only an ordinary orphan teenager who couldn’t really cooperate with her teachers and classmates except her only friend Spider. Spider was a skinny black gangster, he was the only person who actually cared about Jem, or one can say, he loves her; but Jem never opens her heart to anyone.

There’s a gift in Jem’s eye, she could see everyone’s end, even the ending of a life that had just began; because she knows the date when you’ll find yourself dead. After reading this book, you can’t stop thinking that, what’s your number ?

Numbers by Rachel Ward, this story could really make you want to finish reading a page as fast as you can so that you could then look at the story on the next page. Rachel’s words are like magic hands hidden in the book, while you’re reading; it pulls you in, deeper and deeper. This book makes you feel sad, angry, guilty, and excited as how the characters’ mood changes; it takes you into this performance.

There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom book review

There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom
by Louis Sachar

I strongly recommand this book to everyone in all ages. This is a book which teach you about friendship, trust, and how big difference you can make if you have the courage to try. Although I was very annoyed by the first few chapters, but the story turned out so interesting, and become one of the greatest story I have read!


Bradley Chalkers, a boy who tells lies, pick up girls, and never do right things. He has no friends, nobody to talk to, except the animals in his bedroom. He and the new student Jeff Fishkin were friends, but since he got a black eye from Melinda and Jeff found his own friends, they were no more friends. He thought his life would continue on scribbling, lying, and trusting no one, but it completely changed after he met the Carla, a counselor who believed him and never judge or restrict him.


He could draw monsters, break things in Carla's room, because the rule is "No rule". He could speak freely in Carla's room, because she would never repeat anything anyone tells her. After he got a black eye, he went to see Carla. She told him: "When you tell a lie, the only person you're lying to is yourself. You're afraid of yourself, afraid that even if you try, you'll still fail. " before Bradley stopped her. At the end, she suggested that he could make a list of topics before the next meeting. This is a very important turning point to Bradley. First time, he begin to concentrate on something. He listened closely in Mrs. Ebbel class, at recess, even when he is at home, in order to collect some new topics.


From potatoes to gold stars, "what's it like inside a girl's bathroom? " to outerspace, are all included in Bradley's list. They talked about monsters in outerspace, and Carla said something which changed Bradley's life."I don't think there is even one monster. Everyone has good inside them. People be called monster turned to real monster because they think they are, so they act like one. The first step for them to stop being a monster is to realize themself aren't monsters. "


To stop being a monster, Bradley had determined to be good. He ate the oatmeal that he usually hate, and he appreciated his sister's picking about wearing wrong socks. He paid attention in Mrs. Ebble's class. But everyone still thought he is a monster, a trouble maker. He went to find Carla during he is escaping from Jeff's gang who wanted to beat him up. Carla conviced him do do his first homework. At first Bradley had difficulties on doing arithmetic, but after he stepped out and ask his mother, his sister and his father both came and taught him patiently until he understand. He read a book "My Parents Didn't steal an Elephant" and wrote a goodbook report. He greeted his classmates. He said hello and held his hand out to Jeff when he was going to be beatened up. He played basketball with Jeff and his friends. He recieved his first gold star. He began to be the person to enlighten Carla, so she can share what happened instead of listening to him. He was even invited to Colleen's Birthday party!!

When everything turned out to be great, unfortunately Carla is leaving. Bradley is very fustrated, he wanted to be bad again so Carla wouldn't leave. But eventually, Bradley opened his mind after he read Carla's letter. He had a lot of fun in Colleen's party. At the end, he wrote a letter to Carla with a gift from heart like what Carla gave him, his favorite animal Ronnie.

It teaches us many thing in an interesting way from the interact between Carla and Bradley, also the change of relation between he and his family, teachers, and classmates. And Carla played a very important role in Bradley's change. She never tried to teach you something, only teaches you how to think. She doesn't believe in accidents, because there is always a reason behind, so it isn't a excuse either. She believes everything you say, and always thanks for your sharing. She doesn't use rule to restrict students, respect them to act freely. She wouldn't criticize or judge you from outside, because she believes that everyone has good inside. She gives you her favorite book as a gift, because a gift must from heart, so she wanted to share her best thing with you. You don't have to like her, eventhough she likes you.

Carla had inspired me a lot, and taught me to see things in different point of view. I used to think people doing bad things or breaking the rules are very immature and nasty, but now, I will think if there is a reason behind them that turned them into that sort of people; and how could I help and behave when I face them. Maybe not a long criticizing speech, just talk with them patiently like friends, try to understand their feelings.

It is a very educational, warm, and fascinating book, and it presented the story very well without using difficiult language or hard phrases. I couldn't stop reading since I get to the back! Wish that everyone in all age can read this book, and enjoy the great experience with Bradley and Carla.

"I enjoyed your visit very much. Thank you for sharing so much." -Carla & Bradley

P.s: you can find out why is the book called "There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom" when you read it.

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

The book ‘Number the Stars’ by Lois Lowry is about a Danish girl named Annemarie Johansen helping her Jewish friend Ellen Rosen escape from the Nazis to freedom during the World War II. I feel sad and happy after reading this book. I feel sad because of a man named Peter sacrificed his life in the book. I also feel happy because the war ended at last and Annemarie’s transformation from a naïve girl to a mature young lady. What I learned from the story is the people’s compassion and kindness to help others overcome the challenge is stronger than the evil power of Nazi.

After reading this book, I feel sad and happy at the same time. One of the reasons I feel sad is because of Peter’s death. Peter was part of the Resistant force also with Lise. Everyone thanked Peter for helping them. Unfortunately the Germans found him and executed him. The letter he wrote before he died has touched me. He said he wasn’t afraid to die because he is proud about what he had done for the country. Peter is very strong and brave. He wished to be buried with Lise. But the Germans wouldn’t return the body they killed. Another reason that I feel sad is because the world is too cruel. I think the war is unnecessary. Many innocent people were executed by the Nazis. Many Jews was forced to be separated with their family and friends. They also faced food shortage. The foods were stolen to feed the German soldiers. I think Denmark is very innocent and faced this kind of attack to the country. They lost everything but not love from families and friends. I feel very sad for Denmark.

I also feel happy after reading this book because the war ended at last. Everyone felt happy and relieved. The war ended so they can return to their normal lives. They are not living in constant fear anymore. I also feel happy after reading this book because Annemarie has grown a lot out of all these experiences. She changed from a naïve and inexperienced girl to a mature, responsible and clever girl. For example she knows exactly what to do when she sees the soldier in chapter 15. She pretended to be an empty headed silly girl so the soldiers wouldn’t be too suspicious. I also learned a lot too. For example when Uncle Henrik tells Annemarie that it is easier to be brave when you don’t know everything and Annemarie agreed with him because it happens in the story such as Kirsti being brave because she didn’t know how dangerous things were. I agree with Uncle Henrik also because I have a similar experience. My experience is that I wasn’t afraid of anything when I was younger. I wasn’t afraid of ghosts or anything because I thought it was nonsense. But as soon as I grow older and watched more horror movies and reality news of death, I was no longer brave.

What I learned from the book is the people’s compassion and kindness to help others to overcome challenges was stronger than the evil power of Nazi. Everyone including Annemarie’s family and Peter helped the Jews to escape from the Germans. They even helped people they didn’t know. Their determination to help the Jews at all cost was very admirable. And that was something the Germans couldn’t destroy.
