Antonio Spirit Animals

Password: littlered!

 

The book I read is Spirit Animals. It is about four 11 year old kids who get a life long companion called a “spirit animal”. In the land of Erdas a week after your 11th birthday the Greencloaks give you a nectar ceremony. In the nectar ceremony you drink the nectar of Lennori. Lennori is the smartest person in all of Erdas. There’s a one in 100 chance to get a spirit animal by drinking this nectar. These four kids got special animals, ones that are impossible to get. Briggan the Wolf, Uraza the Leopard, Essixs the Falcon, and Jhi the Panda were the animals that became their lifelong companions. The kids names are Rollan (Essix) Meilin (Jhi) Abeke (Uraza) and Conor (Briggan). I hope you enjoy the video and you are inspired to read the book.

Darke by Angie Sage

My book is called Darke. The author is Angie Sage. It is the sixth book in a series called Septimus Heap. The series is about a boy who has adventures and this book is fiction because it has magic. The setting is mainly in a castle near a river and a palace, I think the time is in medieval times because of knights and queens. The main characters are Septimus Heap and Jenna. If you want to read the series the first book is called Magyk. The plot in this is a character called Merrin Meredith tries to disrupt life in the castle by making a darke domaine spread in the castle. He makes it spread by using things to carry and spread the darke domaine within the castle. Everyone in the castle tries to prevent this.

Hortons Miraculous Mechanisms by Lissa Evans

My book is called Horten’s Miraculous Mechanisms by Lissa Evans.  It is about a boy named Stuart who moves to his father’s’ home town called Beeton. One day he receives a package with a magic money box in it. He finds a note in it from his great uncle who is a magician it is for his dad. But instead Stuart goes on the adventure to find his uncle’s secret workshop. It takes place in 2011.

There are a lot of characters, there are identical triplets named April, May, and June, a rich evil business women named jeanne and her student Clifford, a blind old lady named Leonora and her guide dog Pluto. In this adventure story Stuart and April become friends, and break the law more than once. Stuart goes back in time and sees his great uncle tony April starts an illegal protest and Jeanne tries to sell the workshop. But in the end Stuart wins it all. I did not like the end because the workshop wasn’t in a good hidden place. I did like how Lissa Evans described every single thing. my favorite part was when Jeanne surprised Stuart in the museum.

Warriors: The Darkest Hour

Warriors

by Sophia

I read the sixth book of The Warriors series. It is called the darkest hour. I liked it so much I made a diorama of it. There are a lot of awesome scenes, but I thought this is the most important. I really wanted to show how I imagine the ThunderClan camp looking. I could have also done the scene when Firestar receives his nine lives in Mother Mouth but I did not want to because it would be too hard to make and it would take a really long time. My scene is when Firestar is preparing ThunderClan to get ready to attack BloodClan and to get ready to join the other clans to join together to make LionClan vs BloodClan. I hope you like my diorama. Firestar is on top of the rock and his deputy is on the left side and is gray and his name is Graystripe. Firestar’s girlfriend Sandstorm is next to Graystripe. Cloudtail and Brightheart are next to the little cave next to the rock. The other cats are just random.

The School for Good and Evil

IMG_0131

I read the book The School For Good And Evil. In my diorama there is two people and two different sides to the same school. The headmaster decides which school each student goes to, but there’s a strange accident and the girls end up on the wrong side of the school. The person at the school for evil is Sophie who is very nice and by accident got put at the school for evil. The person at the school for good is Agatha. She is weird and wicked. She was supposed to go to the school for evil. Soon the girls start to realize that it might not have been an accident. Surprisingly, Sophie and Agatha are BFFs.

The Stowaways

IMG_0058

The Stowaways is about two mice. The main mouse’s name is Rory. Rory really wants to go on an adventure. Rory’s grandfather passed away on his last adventure in the woods. Rory’s grandmother  still believes her husband is still out in the woods on an adventure trying to come back home. But I believe he’s dead because he was out there for sooo long.

The reason I picked this part of my book is because it shows a lot of character on Rory’s part. The reason this is courageous is because birds and mice don’t usually get along. For Rory to let a seagull take him by his scarf, and trust him is not only courageous but willing. He was willing to help The SEAGULL!!! For those of you don’t know mice and seagulls don’t really mix well.

 

 

 

The Magicians Elephant

Elephant Crashes Through Ceiling of Opera House

 

Baltese –  Yesterday, during a magic show while performing at the city opera house, a mysterious magician whose name is unknown made an elephant come crashing through the ceiling. The elephant broke both of Madam La Vaughns legs. After crashing through the ceiling someone called 911 and the police showed up to take the elephant away.

 

The magician said, “I only intended lilies.” but, how do we know if he only intended lilies if instead of lilies an elephant crashed through the ceiling. After breaking Madam La Vaughn’s legs the magician has been locked up in prison in a tiny prison cell.

 

There is a boy named Peter Augustus Duchene training to be a soldier by an old soldier Vilna Lutz. This boy said he needs to see the elephant to find his sister but, that makes no sense at all! We have no idea what he is talking about.

 

A police officer Leo Mantiene is helping keep the elephant away. We have no clue where the elephant is located now but we are sure it isn’t far away.

 

People all around the city are obsessed with the elephant. The bakers created an oversized pastry filled with cream and sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar and called it an elephant ear. The street vendors sold the pieces of plaster that fell when the elephant fell. The puppet show in the public gardens all are about elephants crashing through ceilings. Even in the ballroom the men and women would dance a simple two step dance called of course the elephant.

 

Is this no ordinary elephant?


Maybe this elephant will be magical and enchanted.

I made a diorama for this book I cut holes in the sides of the box from three perspectives.

Read the book Spirit Animals Book 2, Hunted by Maggie Stiefvater to find out more about their powerful bound with the Great Beast. (This is the 2nd book in the series). In Erdas, when kids turn 11 years old they have something called a necter ceremony where they see if they will get a spirit animal. It is a 5 in 500 chance you will get a spirit animal. There are also animals called Great Beast (There are 15 Great Beast), they are literally what they are called, there Great-Beast.

The Son of Neptune By Rick Riordan

This is a map of the battle to free death so monsters can die and go back to Tartarus and stay there. This is my favorite scene in the Son of Neptune in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. The Son of Neptune is the second book in the series after the Lost Hero.

They need to free death. If they don’t there won’t be a way to win the war because the monsters would be immortal just like gods. The main characters are Frank who is son of Mars(Ares), Hazel who is daughter of Pluto(Hades) and Percy who is The Son of Neptune(Poseidon). Percy is brave and courageous(and maybe a little stupid too). It takes place in Alaska and is probably in about 2013/2014. The book is fast paced and you cannot put it down if you like greek mythology.
