Book Blaug

      Over spring break I read Eragon, I have read this book before and I loved it, the movie is much worse however. It is about a boy named Eragon, who finds a dragon egg, while hunting one day. Once the dragon is born, Eragon meets a mentor Brom who helps him become a dragon rider who eventually hopes to defeat the evil king of Alagaesia, King Galbatorix.

       If your haven't read this, this book might sound cheesy. But if your have read this book you can back me up that this book is really good and it was written by a 15 year old.

Alex Rider

      This week I read the first book in the Alex Rider series again. The first time I read it I thought it was really good, but I was like eight years old so I decided to read it again. These books are about Alex Rider who is a teenager that kind of fell into working with M16 after his uncle died. Each book is a different mission that he goes on.
       After reading the first book for the second time I thought it was still really cool. The first book is about him joining the M16 and then going on his first mission. I thought the first half about his being recruited was better then the actual mission. His thought process about joining and why he might want to join or why he might not want to was really cool.

I would definatly recommend this book to anyone.

SOLSC 10

      This week I read The Comets Curse. This book was presented to me when I won third place in the Rocky Mountain Story Makers contest by Dom Testa. I read this previously in the year but it was given to me by the author so I thought I'll read it again.

      This book is kind of like the Maze Runner in the sense that there is a virus that only teenagers are immune. Desperate to save humanity they are placed on a ship to find a new home. They figure out there is a saboteur on the ship and they have to find their home and deal with the saboteur before the mission fails which would mean the end of the human race.

      This book is Ok. It's not the best but I still like it and recommend it.

Keys to the Kingdom book 3

            Keys to the Kingdom book three is called Drowned Wednesday. If you haven't read my other book blogs about this series it takes place throughout a week. Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, and now Drowned Wednesday. Arthur the main  character was pulled into this in the first book, he basically has to defeat all of the days (the days are people).

            Arthur wakes up in a hospital bed with a broken leg from an unexpected asthma while waiting for this day to start, when he gets invited to lunch with Lady Wednesday. This is a really good book, I love this series. Its written well and its very intriguing and fun. I definitely recommend it.

The Toothpaste Millionaire

        This week I read The Toothpaste Millionaire by Jean Merrill this book is about a sixth grader named Rufus Mayflower who thinks that toothpaste costs too much. He bets he can make a gallon of his own toothpaste for the same amount of money that one tube that he can buy. Rufus gets in to making a business with his good friend Kate MacKinstrey. He expands his business getting aluminum tubes, making commercials and more things.

         This book is really good, I don't think it is very well written but it's a good story.

         I choose books honestly by their cover. People say to not judge a book by its cover, but I do. If a book looks bad, I will read it. It's kind of simple actually, I pick books that look like they have bad covers. Because sometimes there are books that are really good but people never recommend them. I try to find those books, and then recommend them to people.

Navy Seal Dogs

This week I read Navy Seal Dogs, this was a pretty good book. It is about Ritland and the story of how he grew up, found his passion, and became the trainer of the nations most elite MWD or Military Working Dogs. He was picked on in school, which made dogs some of his best friends and then after graduating BUD/S, the hardest military training in the world to become a SEAL, he was in combat and saw a MWD in action, he then knew that's what he wanted to do for the rest of his military life.

This book is a unique way of looking on the inside of this type of life and training, it was an OK book but I would recommend it.

She goes into and arcade in the future where all games are virtual reality games. You, see, feel, touch, and smell everything in the game.
