The cat who turned on and off-Garrett
Right now I am reading the first Cat Who..... book in the series. Qwilleran had arrived in a town called Junktown to write a story about it. It's called junktown because all the stores mainly sell antiques. Qwill is at an auction to see what they have and to find Mrs. Cobb to see if he can get an apartment for rent. He finally got one from C. C. Cobb (not Mrs. Cobb) and he is staying there. Later on he is still trying to figure out why Andy Glanz died because of the accident. Qwill doesn't believe it was an accident. A few nights later C. C. goes scrounging for more things he can sell but while he is at this house, who many other antique dealers go to get things to sell, is found the next morning dead in the upstairs bedroom. While Qwill and Mrs. Cobb are there the police come (because their cab driver told the police two people were being dropped off at an abandoned house and you're not supposed to go to this house and scrounge) and ask why Qwill and Iris (Mrs. Cobb) are there. The police knew that C. C. was already dead. So Qwill is thinking this was a murder and is investigating it...............
Paola-A friend at midnight
This book is kind of sad. Its about a girl who has a step-family. The story starts off when her biological father drops off her real little brother at the airport just like that telling him he was not the son he had in mind. The girl has to go and rescue her little brother carrying her 23 month old half-brother. Micheal (the abandoned kid at the airport) tells Lily (older sister) not to tell anyone what happened. Lily then hates her father and Micheal stays silent. The Rebeca, the oldest sister, comes and plans a wedding and invites the dad.Right now in the book everyone is questioning what really happened at the airport , why did Micheal come home? The book just keeps getting better and better.
Taylor-The Journal of Patrick Seamus Flaherty
My book got my attention because, it was about a solier in the Vietnam war. I love learning about wars and so it looked really good and it is. So far I have learned that Patrick is from Boston and I guess a pretty good football player. He is stationed on the Hill they call 881s. Everyone has a nickname and he isn't getting along with Bebop all the time. Especialy since he got his nickname the Mighty Mouse from Bebop. Hollywood was sounding really popular when I was reading. But, I guess it is more danerous just digging a trence for safery then we think we you hit and detonate an old dud from the fights to win the 881s. He was really out of it seeing as his last words were looking at what was left of his "What a mess". How will they tell all four of his girl friends what happened to Hollywood. How will Patrick survive on 881s without his bestfriend in his platoon on the hill with him. Better yet how will he survive the war seeing stuff like that everyday. Lets hope he finds a way.

Paola - The second bend in the river
At the end of the story the girl who was afraid of the Indian actually befriends him. As time goes on they both fall in love, so much that the Indian asks her to marry her. She says yes , but only if he lives as a white man . Of course he says no but they will always remain friends. Its a good thing they didn't marry or else she would be a widow, he died in a fight . The book was really good , it had romance , suspense, adventure, and more. The author of this amazing book is Ann Rinaldi. I really recommend the book.

Lemony Snicket-Garrett
I am reading the first book of The Series Of Unfortunate Events. So Violet, Klaus, and Sunny (the main characters) Are trapped in the clutches of Count Olaf. He wants to marry Violet so he can get their enormous fortune. Klaus likes to read a lot and found out that is what Olaf wants to do. But to mke sure she does that he has put Sunny in a bird cage dangling from a 30 foot tower. So Violet had to marry Olaf. After it was over Olaf told everyone that he did marry Violet to get the Baudelaire Fortune but when Violet signed the legal papers she did it in her left hand. Not the one she writes with and to be legal it has to be in your hand you normally write in so the marriage was not legal and Olaf was so mad he left with the rest of his goons and were never seen for months.
Taylor-Fairest
Fairest caught my attention because of the cover picture and the name. Fairest it just sounds like a fairy tale and I love fairy tales.So Fairest is about a girl named Aza. Aza lives the kingdom of Aythoria. Aythia is a kingdom of singing. When the companion of the Duchess is ill and is unable to attend the royal wedding, Aza, is asked to join her. Aza isn't consider pretty. So when she gets there and starts to fall for the prince and she finds he has a slight crush on her as well, it is a shock to her. What the prince doesn't know is Aza, isn' a lady she is merely the innkeepers duaghter.
Or so she thinks!?!?!?!?!

Mike-Triss
Isaac-The Brethren
So far all i have read is that the main characters are having a court come to order in the prison they are serving their sentence at, and that they have white, powdered wigs on. Now i have read that they are doing a con-man type deal from their prison and are making money by the hundred thousands. They have about 20 guys who thy trapped in their con-man game, and each one was carefully targeted, because either they or their parents made millions of dollars, meaning it was easy to squeeze 100000 dollars out of them. The people who were conned cannot call the police because that would cause them to reveal the dark secret that the brethren tricked them into telling. Its kind of a ransom type book.

Katelin/Lion Boy The Chase
I'm reading Lion Boy The Chase ,and so far its good it leads off were the last book starts but i haven't got very far into it so maybe I will blog more about it later
Well I continued reading , and its gotten pretty interesting. Charlie and the lions got of the train and take a gondola to the kings house. On the way there Charlie learns that lions were a great symbol back in late Venice. Everywhere you look in Venice you see a lion. Also Charlie learns that the water he is on is going to become a museum. Thats right in Venice they are making an under water museum. They put huge plastic tubes in the muddy bottom of the river that people can walk through. Well so far this is pretty much all but I'll bet there will be more interesting things to read about.
So this book is getting really good. Charlie has escaped and so have his parents.Charlie's parents are in Paris looking for him. Charlie had to leave Primo behind because he wanted to stay with the people of Venice. Anyway Charlie is on his way to africa and so is Rafi. So it will be interesting to see what happens next. Oh by the way Moccomo's girlfriend Mable is Charlie's aunt. Charlie's parents end up the same place as Mabel and Charlie ,but Charlie doesn't know it. Moccomo finds out that Mabel is in town and goes to visit her. He also asks her to marry him.Mabel doesn't want to, but goes along with so she can help find Charlie. Even though she doesn't want to let on that she cares. At the same time Anabe and Magneland are watching from the shadows. They think Mabel is betraying them and doesn't care about their family.Meanwhile the lions and Charlie are in a shelter ,but Moccomo knows were it is and is going to try to capture them. Rafi hasn't shown up yet. I'm almost finshed with the book so I can't wait to see what happens next.
*Kelby--Someone Like You
***Right now I'm reading a book called "Someone Like You". So far it has been good. A girl named Halley was at Sisterhood Camp, a camp that her mother who is a therapist insisted she go to, her best friend Scarlett called her to tell her that Micheal Sherwood had died in a motorcycle accident. Micheal was a friend of their's and had once been Scarlett's boyfriend. He was the boy at their high school that fit in in every group. After Halley got that phone call she called her mom and asked her to come pick her up. Her mom wasn't too happy about that, but she came and got her. Halley went over to Scarlett's house, which was eighteen steps away from hers. The two of them had counted that over the years that they had been best friends. The next morning Halley and Scarlett went to the funeral. They saw alot of people crying and Halley didn't think that it was such a good idea after all to come. Thats how far I've gotten and Im excited to read more!
drums, girl & dangerous pie-SANDRA
Well I have already finished this book, it was a really good book. At first it could be not that interesting but once you get into it its really good. Its about a boy named Steven (aka Peasant) who has a little brother named Jeffrey. Steven basically had a normal life, an annoying little brother, had a crush on the hottest girl in school but then one day something happens that changes his whole life.At first it all starts out as nose bleed but then ends up being something bad and life threatening.
erik-point blank
It talks about a boy who is a spy his name is alex rider,and is sent to go investigate a private school.They try to investigate the school and Alex discovers what he is looking for but can't escape.
The Golem's eye (Justice)
The Golem's Eye is one out of three books in the series. It's about people in London and they use magic to solve there problems. There's this boy named Nathaniel and he's 14 and calls himself John Mandrake so nobody will notice him. In the first book he worked for a magician who summoned demons and other myhtical creatures. He read one of the summoning books and summoned a demon named Bartimaeus and made himdo his dirty work. He made the demon steal an amulet. I hope that something interesting happens in this book like the last book. Maybe he'll summon the demon again I hope he does because so far the book is interesting.
Taylor-New Moon

New Moon is the second book in the Stephanie Meyer, vampire love saga. So far there has been the usual love, fights, and friends. Edward's family moves in the beginning of the book and you just know they come back. I am half way though it and losing hope. I want Bella to stop mopping about Edward and date Jake. Bella has stayed out of trouble so far in the book. She has gone out with friends spent lots of time with Jake. Well she was spending lots of time with Jake until Sam Uley came into the picture. Jake used to hate this guy, so what changed. Will Jake and Bella ever hang out with Sam watching Jakes every move? Or is this the end of a great friend ship?
You'll have to read the book to find out.
Paola - The 5th of March
This book I'm reading is historical fiction. It's about the Boston Massacre and a girl named Rachel Marsh. She is an indentured servant to John Adams, who as you know, was a patriot. However, she closely befriends a British soldier. She is very confused because she likes him but feels she shouldn't because she would be a traitor to Mr. Adams. So far she has been the soldier's "friend" but has refused to accept she likes him. I think the book is awesome because it is based on a true event, has romance, and has a mix of adventure and suspension. Plus the author is Ann Rinaldi , who is an excellent author. People should read this and any book by her.
