My entry is about The Dragon Princess. I like this book because is about a teen princess who is cursed in a way. When she gets angry she turns into a dragon! The story is set in a castle in a place called Greater Grensword, a princess who is turning 15 is geting ready to have her birthday party thats going to be at her castle when her mom and dad say she has to go to her grand parents castle for her party! She REALLY doesn't want to go there because she knows shes going to get mad and her grandparents don't know she turns into a dragon. The next day while she is at her party she gets mad and turns into a dragon and she trys to find the blue witch so she can control herself. Her friends come with her and their names are Zo`e, Francis, and Simon-Leo.

Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson

This book called Fever 1793 was about the yellow Fever in Philadelphia. This is a good book because it talks alot about the history of the fever and that many people have it and they don't have a cure for it back then. I would recommend this because it is very interesting.

The E.N.D. by Black Eyed Peas

 I really like the new Black Eyed Peas album The E.N.D. My favorite songs are I Gotta Feeling and Boom Boom Pow. The music is very rhythmic and easy to dance to. I highly recommend this album.

Mister Monday by Garth Nix

 

 

I just finished reading Mister Monday by Garth Nix. I really liked this story, it was exciting and strange. I like how they included one of the seven deadly sins, Mr. Monday is very lazy so I'm pretty sure his sin is Sloth.  I know that most of the series is already out and I can't wait to read more about Arthur and his adventures in the house and the secondary realms.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

I loved The Time Travelers Wife, it is an amazing book, and it takes place in Chicago which is kinda cool. It is about a man and a woman an their life as he unexpectly travels through time. It is funny, and sad, and exciting, and I really enjoyed it. For anyone who was thinking of seening the movie, read the book first, because I can't imagine the movie does it justice.

A Child Called "It"

  A Child Called "It" is one of the saddest books I have read.  It is considered one of the most popular books to read in the nonfiction section, so I gave the book a shot.  As I read through the book, Dave explained his life story about being a child abuse victim.  I was so unaware that parents do these types of torturous "games" to innocent children.  David did not give up though, he believed deep in his heart that one day he would get away from his mother and find a family that would love him for who he is.  It is a very inspirational story that makes you feel thankful for your loving family and friends.

The Harry Potter series

Harry Potter is an amazing book. It has a very good amount of everything. A lot bit of magic, a little bit of romance, and a little bit of mystery. The best part of the book is trying to see how Harry is coming/jumping to a bunch of conclusions.
