The Blood Of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, Book 5)

The Blood Of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, Book 5)

By Rick Riordan

The final battle. The one we've all been waiting for. Riordan once again does an absolutely, utterly fantastic job with giving the characters depth. The seven are all on board the Argo II, and are heading towards Rome to stop the end of the world. Jason, the blond Superman whose mother died when he was two, and went missing from his family that included Thalia Grace. His character isn't as fleshed out as the others, but what we do know: He's afraid of breaking the rules, doing the wrong thing that will eventually cause the end of the world. We can all relate to this; Jason is perfection that has taken on a human form. Percy, all of our faves. the one we know most, has played as a pawn for the Gods Of Olympus like Jason. After losing his memory thanks to Hera, he is part of the huge plan to unite the two camps. His fatal flaw is not being able to let his friends take a blow, and this will cost him soon enough. He wants nothing more than to enjoy a quiet life with Annabeth, but it looks like the Fates have a different idea in mind for him. Although he has lots of boiling emotions inside, he hides it with all of that slapstick humor on the outside. Which brings us to Leo. He's the dude that could possibly become the new favorite, constantly cracking jokes, building things, and making awesome tacos. He has a dark past, too. His mother died in a fire when he was young, and he has always felt resentment and hate against the Fates for that. But you couldn't possibly tell, with all of the constant wisecrackers he dishes out. He may be scrawny and a little too obsessed with mechanics, but in the end, he's a very lovable character. But he's the 7th wheel. He'll never be able to fit in, and that is what disturbs him a lot during the mission. Frank, the shapeshifter, the clumsy dude with the baby face. Looking at him, you wouldn't think that he's been through that much, but his mom died at war when he was small. Also, his life depends on a stick. That's what you get for being able to shapeshift like the definition of awesomeness. Annabeth is the wise girl, the tactician of the team. She ran away from her house at seven, and has constantly gotten more powerful and wiser since then. Only second to building and architecture than Leo, is able to get absorbed into the laptop Daedalus himself had given her, and like Percy, just wants to spend a quiet life with him. She's really annoyed at Hera for taking Percy away, and her resentment may be a danger to the team later. Hazel has been given a second chance at life and intends to use it to the fullest. But rescuing the world might mean dying again, and she is afraid of this. She's a brave warrior, nevertheless, with a sick cussing supersonic horse that can reach the speed of sound. Piper, the girl whose ashamed of her heritage. She never wanted to be a daughter of Aphrodite, and tries to downplay her beauty with eccentric styles. However, there's more to her story than just that. The world is at risk of ending, and everything she'd ever known and loved would be gone. And the fact that she can't exactly fight is also what she thinks makes her a misfit on her team. All she has is a charming voice, a blade that shows gruesome scenes, and a cornucopia that is hardly worthy of respect. She's afraid of failing her team, and not being able to participate the right way. And Nico, the 8th. He isn't exactly a part of their mission but he will be helping Reyna and Coach Hedge transport a mad golden statue, the Athena Parthenos, across the Atlantic, using his power of shadow travel. He's in danger of fading away, but he doesn't care what happens to him as long as he's able to save the world. Reyna, the girl that has experienced a lot of heartbreak. Hera transported Jason to the other camp without warning when she was trying to get him. And Percy turned her down when she proposed. "No demigod shall heal your heart", Aphrodite had said. And now she has to transport the Athena Parthenos across the Atlantic with Coach Hedge and Nico. But it's worth sacrificing her life to save the world. She is Roman to the core. And lastly, Coach Hedge, the violent satyr with a soft heart. His wife, a cloud nymph, is pregnant, and he is ready to save the world, no matter what comes in his way. All of these demigods (and a satyr) area brave group working to save the world together. They will do anything to save their precious world, even if it means sacrificing their lives. But will they also be able to stop the Romans in time as well as Gaea? Octavian poses a serious threat to them in addition to the Evil Mother Earth, and makes things even more difficult than anyone could have imagined. Riordan's best novel yet; it's a crackling page turner. Don't miss this one. 5/5!

Sisters

Sisters

By Raina Telgemeier

I love this book out of all I think that this book is my 2nd favorite book. I love that there are flashbacks, I think it's really cool that it tells you the past that connects to the future. I also love that it shows that sisters never get along all the time. It also shows that even if sisters usually disagree they can always come to an understanding sooner or later. I think that this a great book and I love all her books. I love the art style. In conclusion I give this book a 5 stars.

Gathering Blue (Giver Quartet)

Gathering Blue (Giver Quartet)

By Lois Lowry

After the bleak and repressive society of the Giver, here is a society that is too wild, where one must fight to survive, and those who can claw their way to the top are the victors. Kira was born crippled, so they wanted to toss her into certain death via mauling by Beasts in The Field, but her mother was strong and fought them off. Now her mother is dead, dead of a mysterious illness, and they want her in The Field. They take her to the Council Edifice, where the powerful Council of Guardians decide whether she lives or dies. A powerful figure comes to her aid: it is Jamison, assigned by the Council to be her Protector. He defends her, saying that her incredible talent in weaving more than makes up for her crippled leg. Kira is tasked by the Guardians with an important task: she must repair the robe of the Singer, who retells her village's history annually. She goes with her friend, the scruffy Matt, to her new quarters in the Council Edifice, where she meets the Carver, a boy around her age who carves the Singer's staff. She learns the art of dyeing from Annabella, a wise elder. However, something's not right. She and Thomas soon meet a tyke named Jo, who is gifted with Singing. Unlike them, though, she is not allowed to leave, she is locked in her room. IS there something the Council's not telling them? I found this novel to be good, but not that good. Warning: it ends on a not really cliffhanger per se, but it certainly urges you, practically forces you to read the next book. It was a real pleasure reading about Kira getting saved and trying to protect herself against her enemies, at the beginning. But the book sort of died out in the middle, with unease being introduced slowly, bit by bit, until the semi-explosive resolution. All in all, it would have been much better if the pacing was a little quicker. It was a companion, not a sequel: you won't be seeing Jonas or the others in this book. All in all, I liked how it had a bigger emphasis on teamwork, friendship, etc., especially between Kira and that little boy named Matt, who has a very interesting way of speaking and an optimistic outlook on life. By the end, you will realize that though the societies from this book and The Giver are outwardly different, they have a similar warning: choose who you trust, for they may be lying. A final note: I don't think this book was all that dystopia as The Giver (now that was a masterpiece dystopian novel): it reads more of a novel about overcoming your defects, both physical and mental, by relying on your friends. If you liked The Giver, you really NEED to read this book (and the rest of the books in the series.)

Ivy + Bean, Book 1

Ivy + Bean, Book 1

By Annie Barrows

This book is really nice for young girls looking for a good book. This story, like any other story, starts with two different girls. Bean is a fun-loving girl who is friends with everyone and has a bit of an icy attitude towards her mean, older sister named Nancy. Ivy is a quiet-type girl who imagination takes her on the journey of becoming a witch. Both girls' moms wanted their own girl to play with the other girl. They finally meet once Nancy is about to get Bean in trouble and Bean flees to the retreat of Ivy's backyard with Ivy's help. Bean learns of Ivy's "spell" that can make someone dance forever, and Ivy learns of Bean's mean sister. Once their interest in casting a spell on Nancy that makes her dance forever is created, Bean helps Ivy look like a better witch. Then, they cross into different yards to get worms from Bean's yard so Ivy can create her potion. Once they get to Bean's yard, they get the worms, and start to leave. But once they hear Nancy sobbing, they think Nancy is crying about Bean disappearing. A little afterwards, they learn she's crying because she can't get pierced ears. Bean gets mad and screams at Nancy. In short, a series of escalating mishaps fall onto Nancy, and Ivy+Bean become best friends. Their adventures continue in this short-paged series.

Unicorn vs. Goblins (Phoebe and Her Unicorn Series Book 3): Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure

Unicorn vs. Goblins (Phoebe and Her Unicorn Series Book 3): Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure

By Dana Simpson

I am not the biggest fan of unicorns (no offense to unicorn lovers.) But when I get bored I like to read random books and this book it wasn't like most where they get along and everyone is surprised there is fantasy creature around but both of the main characters make fun of each other in a good way. Sometimes I will actually laugh. There's also the "Shield Of Boringness" and that's why not many people are surprised. I absolutely recommend this for younger age groups or just anyone who likes fantasy and unicorns. I also finished it just today and wrote a review on it almost right away. If you have an Amazon kids tablet you can download and read it)) Read on my friends!!!!
