The True Meaning of Smekday By Adam Rex

Posted by

They have finally arrived, the aliens have come to Smekland, Er… I mean Earth. What will happen to the world now that they’re here, find out in The True Meaning Of Smekday, by Adam Rex. This strange bUnknownut fast paced and exciting book is about a girl named Gratuity, but everyone calls her Tip. The mane idea of this book is there is an invasion by aliens, the aliens are called the Boov. everyone thinks the Boov are bad news and so does Tip, at first. the Boov send all the people of the U.S.A to one one state, California. On the way to California Tip meets a Boov, his earth name is J.Lo. J.Lo convinces Tip to take him with her, and after awhile they become friends.

When Tip and J.Lo got to california they learned that the dang Boov had changed their mind, now all the people of the U.S.A get to live in Arizona, so they started the long long trek to the other side of the country. In the middle of their ride, a different alien species comes to earth, this species is called the Gorg. The Gorg and Boov fight for the planet, The Gorg win by s lot and before the Boov retreat, J.Lo convisis Tip that the gorg are bad news, much worse than the Boov, so The two of them put their heads together and think of a plan to get rid of the Gorg.

This book is very fun and never really that slow, even just diving they make fun with the comedy. I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone, this book has so many different themes that there is something for everyone (accepted if you like really slow books). I loved this book and if you read it, I hope you like it just as much as I did.

In the world of Erdas, every kid dreams of calling a spirit animal, now, 4 unlikely heroes have summoned the Great Beast of legend. 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.

They are 4 of the Great beast that fought in the war, and even though they took down the devourer, he took the Great Beast with him.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

Posted by

Harry Potter, “the boy who lived”, goes on an adventure with his friendsimgres-1 in the book Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix By J.K Rowling. The first part of this book is about Harry at Hogwarts, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Ministry of Magic (like the government but for wizards) has hired a new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher, but the thing is, they don’t really learn anything in class so Harry and his friends make secret meetings so others can learn. The other part is about Harry going to the Ministry to save his godfather (who everyone thinks is a murderer) who he thinks is in danger from Voldemort. The beginning happens at Hogwarts and the end in the Ministry.

Harry is a pretty curious person, when he doesn’t know something he will try to figure it out, like in the 2nd book (The Chamber Of Secrets) he puts on his cloak of invisibility  (a cloak that makes him invisible) to find out who was stunning everyone when he wasn’t allowed. Harry is also a really nice person and is only mean to the people who are mean to him like all the Slytherins (one of the 4 houses at Hogwarts, there is also Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor). They are always teasing him so he is mean back to them but he is really kind to all the people who are kind to him. Harry is a really brave boy because he risked his life just to save his godfather. Harry also figures out that the reason Voldemort was at the Ministry was so he could find a prophecy that had to do with him and Harry.

I liked this book because it has some action in it, it didn’t have as much as I had hoped but it still had about 75% action. I also liked it because it is in the Harry Potter series and I like all of those books no matter what. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books with 75% action/adventure in it. You also might like it if you like the other Harry Potter books. This book is a lot like books 1 2 3 and 4 of the Harry Potter series.

I would rate this book:

Invasion of the Overworld by Mark Cheverton

Posted by

invasionAndrei

The book I read is called Invasion of the Overworld, and it’s by Mark Cheverton. It’s about a kid who loves Minecraft, but he doesn’t really have any friends on Minecraft because he likes to prank people (it’s called trolling). We don’t know his real name, but his user name is Gamenight999. His dad’s invention teleports him into the game! Gamenight999 has to now use his skills to survive Minecraft. He doesn’t know what happens when he dies in Minecraft. Will he respawn? Will he go back to the normal world? Or, will he really die? This action of Gamenight999 trying to survive all happens in the world of Minecraft.

Gamenight999 is super ANNOYING. Well, at first he is. In the start of the book Gamenight999 is always trolling others and ruining minecraft for them. He is a noble person because in the end he learns that not everything is about him. He saves lots of other users, but by saving them his Minecraft character gets killed. He is also pretty clever because the way he trolls is that he hacks the game. You can imagine that hacking is not a piece of cake. I thought it was interesting that in the book there are lots of servers. There is one on top that is called the source. The source is the server that powers all the other servers. Gamenight999 learns that the mobs (monsters in minecraft) have one goal: to get to the source. They want to do this because if the source is destroyed, it makes a portal to the overworld, AKA the human world, then they can destroy that too.

I liked this book, it wasn’t the best book but because sometimes it got pretty slow but it was still good. I liked it because, well, I really like the game minecraft too. Also, I liked the character Gamenight999, he made me want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to game, especially if you like minecraft. If you hate minecraft, you shouldn’t read this book. It is also a good book to read because there’s lots of action and adventure and it is fun to read. This book is not like other books. I have read the minecraft guides but it is still different.

I would rate this book:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Roling

Posted by

Harry Potter with his magical ways goes through the action packed book of Harry Potter Goblet Of Fire by Jimgres-1.K. Rowling, it is the 4th book in the Harry Potter series. It’s about a boy named Harry Potter and he is a wizard. The main problem is that there is a contest called the triwizard tournament. It is a really dangerous contest and Harry was put in, but he wasn’t the one who entered, someone else did even though he has to be 17 and he is only 14. This tournament took place at Hogwarts the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Harry is a pretty curious person, when he doesn’t know something he will try to figure it out, like in the 2nd book (The Chamber Of Secrets) he puts on his cloak of invisibility  (a cloak that makes him invisible) to find out who was stunning everyone when he wasn’t allowed. Harry is also a really nice person and is only mean to the people who are mean to him like all the Slytherins (one of the 4 houses at Hogwarts, there is also Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor). They are always teasing him so he is mean back to them but he is really kind to all the people who are kind to back to him. Harry is a really brave boy like in the end he duels the strongest wizard in the world when most would run away. In the contest there are three courses: the 1st is to steal a golden egg from a fully grown dragon, the 2nd is that they have 1 hour to rescue their friends from under the lake, in the 3rd they have to walk through a maze with dangerous obstacles and the first to get to the Triwizard Cup wins. Harry and Cedric, who was also in the competition got to the cup first, they agreed to touch it at the same time. Instead of being teleported to Hogwarts they went to a graveyard where he-who-must-not-be-named (Voldemort) was revived. When Voldemort came back to life it was the start of his reign and terror…again.

I really liked this book because I am a fiction kind of person and this is a fiction book. I also really liked this book because it’s has some fantasy in it, it’s not like happily ever after kind of fantasy, it is sort of the opposite but is still in the fantasy genre. I recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction books. If you are more of a nonfiction person then you may not like as much but you should still read it because it is still a really great book. This book is also like The Heroes Of Olympus series because in both they are battling evil and in both they have some kind of magical powers. (Note: if you haven’t read The Heroes Of Olympus then read that series too)

I rate this book:

****,  It wasn’t the best book I have ever read, but it was still really really really really really really good!

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riorden

Posted by

The book I read is called The Blood of Olympus, it’s by Rick Riordan. There are 7 main characters and their names are: Percy, Frank, Jason, Leo, Annabeth, Piper, and Hazel and they are all demigods.  Piper is daughter of Aphrodite, Frank is son of Ares, Annabeth daughter of Athena, Hazel is daughter of Hades, Leo is son of Hephaestus, Percy is son of Poseidon, and Jason is son of Zeus.

 

A demigod is someone who has one godly parent and one mortal parent. However there is a problem, Gaea, the earth goddess is rising and she wants revenge on the gods by destroying the world! All this action happens in Athens the ancient land of Athena.

 

The plot of the story is the 7 demigods have to go on a quest to stop the war with Gaea. In the books before this one the demigods killed the titans. The titans are Gaea’s sons so Gaea went mad and she tried to kill everyone especially the gods. Gaea also leads all the monsters so she sends monsters to stall the demigods so she can have time to rise and awake. Once she sent a whole army of Cyclops to slow them down only for about a minute or so. The demigods received a prophecy that one demigod would die so they had to use up some of their time getting a potion so they can bring him or her back to life! I love this book so much because it’s by my favorite author Rick Riordan, also it’s about mythology and mythical stuff is really cool. Last but not least it’s a long read and it’s not a small book that you can read in like a few minutes. It feels like you accomplished something when you finish it. I recommend this book to anyone who likes books about mythology or adventure or both.

I rate this book:*****
