Magyk by Angie Sage

Posted by

Magyk is a book all about magic. The world this book takes place in has wizards, wolverines(werewolfs but always in wolf form), witches, and warlocks. The author of the book is Angie Sage. The book is the first book in the Septimus Heap series, and there are seven books in the series. The main characters are Septimus, Sarah, Silas, Simon, and Nicko Heap. The other main characters are Boy 412, Jenna, Aunt Zelda, Marcia Overstrand, Domdaniel, and Alther Mella.

If I had to describe Nicko Heap I would say that he is a good fisherman and an amazing sailor. One of my favorite parts of the book is when they go to aunt Zelda’s cottage and find the tunnel. The tunnel is where boy 412 finds the dragon ring and Jenna finds the dragon boat. I think Alther Mella is a very kind and soft person, he seems like he would not be able to hurt anyone. Another one of my favorite parts is at the end when they talk about how everybody’s lives went after they were out of the story. One thing they don’t talk about is where Simon went.

     I recommend this book to people who like Harry Potter or action and adventure. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read I have read a lot of books. There are also seven books in the Harry Potter series but those books are a little bit longer. The books in this series are usually a little more than 500 pages long. I give this book five out of five stars.

The Son of Neptune By Rick Riordan

Posted by

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.

Charlie Bone and the Beast by Jenny Nimmo

Posted by

Charlie is descended from a Welsh wizard and a magical king from Africa. I read Charlie Bone and the Beast over break. The author of the book is Jenny Nimmo who is the writer of The Orchard of the Crescent Moon and is the 7th book in the Charlie Bone series. The book is about a werewolf that betrays the person who “controls” him. The main characters of the book are Charlie Bone and Asa Pike (Wolf Boy). This book takes place someplace in England in 2007 or 2008 and I guess the author kind of does take you to a place. The central conflict is the bad people and the good people who are all descended from the Red King and are trying to get Asa on their side.

 

I think Charlie is smart, ruthless and friendly. I think He is smart and ruthless because he doesn’t think before doing things but he always does what’s right. I think he is friendly because he has a lot friends and treats them well. One of my favorite parts of the book is when they rescue Asa. I’m not allowed to write about because it is a very important part in the book. Another one of my favorite parts of the book is when they hear the howling and Billy figures out that the howling means help. After that they figure out that it is Asa.


I really enjoyed the book because it has a little bit of everything. Everything like mystery, horror and superpowers. I like the author’s writing style because she doesn’t really write cliffhangers I would recommend this book to people who have the first five books of the series first. I would also recommend this book to people who A lot of book topics. I really do not think this book is related to any other books. I give this book four stars because I really enjoyed but I do not want to read it again.images

Thomas Book Review Three

Charlie Bone and the Time Twister

The name of the book I read was Charlie Bone and the Time Twister and the author is Jenny Nimmo. It is the second book in the Charlie Bone Series and there are eight in the series. The book is about Charlie Bone finding someone who he is related to but the catch is that he should be dead. The main characters are Charlie Bone, Henry Yewbeam, Billy Raven and Runner Bean. The setting of the book is The Pet’s Cafe, Bloor’s Academy and  Number Nine in the years 1916 and 2006.

Billy is  young, quiet and nice. He is nice but quiet because he’s shy but if you really get to know him he’s nice. Billy is young because he is seven, turning eight. My favorite part of the book is when Henry comes out of nowhere with a marble in his hand in Bloor’s Academy. I think the most important part is when Henry goes to live with James. Another important thing is when Charlie figures out that there is a secret passage from the Pets Cafe to Bloor’s Academy so he can get to Henry on the weekends. Bloor’s is closed down on the weekends so it makes sense that there is no way to get in on the weekends. I like it when Henry goes back to James and it feels like it’s a big HAPPY family reunion (without the sisters).

I enjoyed the book because there is mystery and adventure. There’s adventure when they explore Bloor’s Academy to figure out new mysteries to solve.  I would recommend this book because it takes a long time to read the whole series. Another reason I recommend this book is because it is action packed with spying, misbehaving and hypnotizing. There are no books similar to the book that I have read. I give this book I give this book FIVE STARS but I do not want to read it again because there are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many other ones in the series.

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

The Alchemyst

By Thomas

In the there are things called Auras (not Aura, the girl in fourth grade) and almost everybody has a different one. The main characters are Sophie and Josh Newman, Dr. John Dee, Perenelle Flamel, and Nicolas Flamel. The title of my book is and it is in the series The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel. The Author of my book is Michael Scott.The problem is that Dee and “The Bad Guys” are trying to remake the old time when Danu Talis (Atlantis) was still above water but Perenelle, Nicholas, Sophie, and Josh are trying to stop them because it will cause things to blow up all around the world. The setting of the book is in 2007 in the beginning of the summer and they travel all over world. I think the author of the book did a lot of studying because he takes so much Mythology from so many different places.

Perenelle is smart, tall, and elegant. Perenelle is smart because Nicholas always says “If only Perenelle were here” because he doesn’t have very good ideas. Perenelle is tall and elegant because in the book it says “was a tall, elegant woman.” I think the story is about the life of Nicholas Flamel. I also think the book is about the prophecy which you will find out if you read the book. One of the most interesting parts in the book is the battle of Hekate’s (Heh-ca-tay) Shadowrealm. Another one of my favorite parts are when Dee goes into Bastet’s home.  I think the part that changes the story the most is when Perenelle gets captured by Dee. One of the main characters does not make any big decisions.

 

I loved this book because it has some of my favorite genres. My favorite genres are Mythology and Action. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure and Mythology. The genres are Mythology, Action, and Adventure. This book has a main character mentioned in the first book in the Harry Potter series. I give this book five because it is a really good book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Blood of Olympus By Rick Riordian

Posted by

the-blood-of-olympus-cover

     My book’s name is Blood of Olympus and the author is Rick Riordan. The main characters are Leo, Percy, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Annabeth, Nico, Reyna and Coach Hedge. The book is set in America, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. The problem of the story is that some “people” try to destroy the Earth. Leo, Percy, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper and Annabeth are trying to save the world and Nico, Reyna and Coach Hedge are trying to transport a forty foot tall statue across the Atlantic Ocean.

     I think the biggest event in this story is when they decide to go with the snake people to try to stop the earth from getting destroyed and waking Gaea. Another interesting thing about the book is when they risk the Argo 2 getting destroyed to get back to Camp Half Blood. They need to get back because Camp Half Blood is about to get destroyed by Gaea. Leo is good with machines and can wield fire from his hand (so he’s fireproof, his whole body is) and his problem is that his true love is on an island called Ogygia, which a man never finds twice. Percy’s ability can control the sea/water to his will and he can breath underwater but his problem is he just came back from Tartarus and is not fully healed yet.

     I enjoyed this book because I like mythology, action, and fantasy and this book has all those things. The action is when they battle the “people”and the Earth/Gaea. The fantasy is the story,the mythology is the fantasy. I would recommend this book to people who like action,fantasy and mythology because this book has a lot of it. I would give this book five stars because it is so popular and it is Amazing!
