Lily's Ghosts by Laura Ruby

This book is about a girl and her mother who move into the only place they can, Lily's Great Uncle Wesley's Victorian. (i think it's Wesley.) All kinds of weird things start happening, and Lily doesn't know what is causing them to happen. She meets a cute guy, and he thinks that she has some ghosts. They go on a trip to the library, and collect some information about Lily's history. Mostly they do this, because Lily thinks that it is the ghost of her long dead Uncle Max, Wesley's brother. Uncle Max supposedly lit fires everywhere, and one of them was in his room, and he got trapped, and burned to death. Vas (Vasilios, the boy) and Lily learn some interesting things, and they uncover the real truth about uncle Max, and some other ghosts who haunt her house. This interesting book is full of adventure, mystery, and a little bit of mushy romance.
I loved this book, and I recommend it to everyone.

In the book The Night Tourist, the main character Jack has realized that his mother was a dead person who was temporarily brought back to life. The book intentionally follows the Orpheus myth. This book is sort of a modern version of the myth with younger versions of the characters. So far I cannot tell how much I enjoy this book and I am reading rather slowly. I feel that this book while having an interesting main idea is not terribly grabbing

Review of Supernatralist

This book is about a future world. The main story is about supernatural creatures called un spec 4 (AKA unidentifed species 4) they are evil creatures that suck te life from hurt people. A group of people named the supernaturalists are going around trying to kill these suposedley evil
creatures. SPOILER the creatures are acualy good and they suc the pain out of people.

Artemis Fowl the opal deception

A whole lot of stuff that would be really confusing to anyone who hasn't read the book series happened. Some stuff that happened was:

-Opal Koboi is a human
-Mulch Diggums is awesome. He is officially my favorite charictor.

Here are some funny lines from the villain:

"Merval? Descant? Who's passing wind?"

"I heard that thought!"

"Don't look at me! It's bad for my skin!"

Molly by any other name

This book is really good. I just finished it. It's about a girl who is and adopted.... and she wants to find her birth parents. Her parents who adopted her are really nice, but they don't want her to find out because they're afraid she'll give them up to live with her other parents. She tells them that they shouldn't worry, but they don't listen. Finally Molly goes to a society which helps people find their real parents. A girl named Mary agrees to help Molly. Then they find her mother, named Karen.... Molly meets her and they like each other. Her other parents are really upset, but they agree that Molly can just be friends with her birth mother.
This book ends with Molly becoming a cheerleader which is really random and weird.

Smile Tino

Raina and her friend were having a sleep over. One of Raina's friends said," last one to Raina's house is a rotten egg!" So Raina was running and she tripped, which made her two front teeth came out. Sleep over was cancelled and when Raina got home, she started laughing because she thought she looked funny with teeth missing. She had to go to the dentist and get fake teeth put in her mouth. The next day Raina had to go to school and there was a kid who was asking if he can see her teeth. School was over and she had another dentist appointment. Raina went home and she thought she looked like a baby because she had a pony-tail. Next morning she had school then after school dentist again. Basically anytime I say school in any sentences, dentist is coming after. The school had a valentine day school party so she told a boy she liked in sixth grade that she will be at the party. She didn't go and the boy was embarrassed. There were some girls in school that teased Raina because she liked a sixth grader and she was in seventh grade. But there was a new kid named, Sean, who played basketball. She would everyday in school tried to get his attention but he would never pay attention to her.

Esperanza Rising Pam Munoz Ryan Elya

This is an amazing book. It is about a rich girl who believes she will always be happy, until one day, her father gets killed by bandits, and then the huge mansion burns down. Esperanza and Mama escape to California from Mexico, and find work. This book is about getting used to new things, being a peasant, not having fancy clothes, not being able to have a feast every night... After a mean dust storm, Mama gets sick, and the doctor bills get very high. First she has the Valley Fever, then on top of that, depression, then, pneumonia. Mama gets very sick, and the doctor asks Esperanza not to come for a very long time. Mama is moved into the long period sickness room, where there are only four other people.
This is as far as I have gotten, and I think that this is one of the greatest books I've ever read. I recommend this book to anyone. That is pretty rare, but this one is a pretty good find.

Artemis fowl 4

Some lines in the book that I really like are:

"Koboi. Have you come to gloat? Does murder make you happy?"
"Hmm?" said the voice, seriously considering the question. "You know, it does. It actually does make me happy."

This coming from our main villain: "So, even if the LEP did board my shuttle, they would not find whatever it is I am choosing to smuggle. Which in this case is a jar of truffles. Hardly illegal, but the cooler is full. Chocolate truffles are my passion, you know. All that time I was away, truffles were one of the two things I craved. The other was revenge."

dark life part one jake

dark life starts out with the main character shoots up the flair gun into the green light of piranhas and sharks. During that all the fishes stop and don't move while that is happening the main character jumps on to the boat. When that flair stops the sharks will be on us like a suckerfish to a whale. as he rides down into the ocean he hits a sunken sub way train and falls back into this green goo.

The Night Tourist

This book is about a boy who accidentally stumbles upon an enterance into the underworld and is able to temporarily meet dead people. This book explores the idea of what would a person do if they thought they could see people who they had lost. Currently the main character is trying to find his mother. I am not quite sure who I would recomend this book to since I haven't read that much myself.

Fallen Angles by Joe

Fallen Angles is a story about five men named Johnson, Peewee, Lobel, Brunner and Richie all fighting in the Vietnam war. So far the narrator hasn't revealed his name yet, but he is traveling on a plane to Osaka, Japan, then on they're way to Vietnam to supply medical treatment. Also, he is traveling along side with a man named Gates, who is also supplying medical treatment to the same unit. Fallen Angels caught my eye when I read the first few pages and I was instantly hooked on it. I really liked how it wasn't a slow beginning and the story began within the first page.

Forest Born, Shannon Hale Elya

This book is the last book out of four. They are called, Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets and Forest Born. This book is about a girl named Rin (short for Rinna) who goes to the city out of the forest. Her older brother, Razo had gone into the city to work a while ago, and during some time he spent traveling, he met Dasha (who is the main girl from River Secrets). Dasha finds Rin work in the palace, and takes care of Tuskin, the queen's baby boy, and gets a little closer to Isi. (The queen.) Rin has always felt a connection with the trees, but ever since she did something a little while ago, they neglected her. She finds herself in the middle of an adventure, and goes with Enna, from Enna Burning, Isi, or Anidori Kiladra Talianna Isilee, queen of Bayern, and friend of the other girls (from Goose Girl), and Dasha from River Secrets. She saves lives, gets caught up in all of the action, solves some of the mysterious questions about her tree-speaking, finds out another power of hers, and meets the dreaded, and thought to be dead, Selia, from Goose Girl.
This book is full of action, adventure, and the love of friendship. I recommend this book to anyone, because it is perfect for people who like books full of all the stuff I just mentioned...
I love this book, and all of the books that came before it in the series. I think that if you choose to read this book, (which i highly recommend) you should read the rest of the series first. You would get a little lost if not.

Artemis Fowl the opal deception

I forgot to mention something in my last blog. At the end of the chapter where the janitors (who are pixies) break Opal Koboi (that evil pixie mastermind) out, Opal Koboi wonders what she will look like as a human. That really creeps me out.

What just happened, was that Holly Short (a fairy), and Julius Root (another fairy) go in to this cave/tunnel thing to capture general Scaline (an evil goblin who works for Koboi), and they find that he has been mesmerized (basically, he was mind controlled and now he is unconscious). Then they hear him talk, but his lips are not moving. They realize it is coming from his a box on his chest, not actually him, and it is Opal Koboi using technology to change her voice. Opal Koboi remotely ties up Julius Root and Holly can't untie him, because if she comes too close he will explode. Opal Koboi tells Holly that if she can shoot this certain target on the boxish thing that Opal Koboi is speaking to her with, then it will free Julius Root, but if Holly misses even by the tiniest bit, Root will explode. Holly goes for it, but apparently misses by a tiny bit, and Julius actually explodes. Then Opal Koboi tells Holly that she (Opal Koboi) is going to kill Artemis and Butler next, so Holly goes to save them.

The biggest shopping mall in Israel was just bombed. the two main characters are trying to make their way through a swarm of dead and injured people. as he is walking he bumps into a little girl but he stopped and looked at her and saw she had a gap were her eye should be. then he realized that she had her eye blown out of her socket. and her skull was so badly bashed you could see her brain.
