Half Brother

This week for my book I read Half Brother. this book is about a family who adopts an infant chimpanzee for Ben`s father`s research project. Ben and Zan become great friends. His father's research project is to see if they can teach the chimpanzee (Zan) sign language. This book has a great story and it's pretty well written.

I recommend this book to everyone.

The Comets Curse

    The Comets Curse is the first book of a 6 book series. I got this book from a guy named Dom Testa (the author of the book) at the PBS story makers contest. He was one of the key speakers and he gave everyone a book.

    Anyway. the book is about people saving the world (of course), and they are teenagers (of course). But the main character is a girl (wait what!). Earth has been infected by a virus that kills adults over 18.  Triana is the leader of a crew who had two years of training that prepared them to build a ship that will take 259 teenagers to Galahand and save humanity!  
 
    This is a good book and the author is a really nice guy. I don't like it enough to read the rest of the series but its pretty good.

Grim Tuesday

This week I read Grim Tuesday by Garth Knix. It is the second book in the Keys to the Kingdom series. This book was really good. I recommend it for everyone. These books are really confusing. I'll give some backround about the first book, Mister Monday.

It takes place in a place called the House. Mister Monday is the main antagonist whom Arthur (the main character) must face off with. So, with Mister Mondays defeat Arthur thought he had escaped the House but he is woken by a call. Grim Tuesday has taken control of the Lower House that Arthur had just taken from Mister Monday. Arthur has to go back into the house and figure out a way to take Grim's key back.

These books are a 7 book series. The days get harder to beat as the series goes on (so far) so i think Sunday is going to be like crazy. (The House is the Universe)

The Maze runner

Over break I read the Maze Runner again. I have read it before but I watched the movie and decided to read the book again to see if the movie lived up to the book. 

It starts out with a kid who wakes up in an elevator with no memory of his past other than he knows his name is Thomas. He comes out of the elevator only to be greeted by more teenage kids who have no memory of their past as well (other than their names). They get him out of the elevator and he sees they are in a giant glade. Thomas begins to discover the Glade and he realizes that it is surrounded by an even bigger maze, a terrifying labyrinth with giant walls and deadly creatures they call Grievers a . They boys are stuck wit "solving" the maze to figure a way out.

This book is really good, I loved it both times I read it. I recommend it for everyone.
