hello! so i haven't written in a bit, but i just started reading another book, and i just had to share about it!!! It's called daniel x, and it's about this boy who at the age of 3 his parents die, and he has to fend for himself from then on. But theres a catch, he's got a power. A power to create. Daniel can create pretty much anything he'd like too, for instance when he gets lonely or scared, he just brings his family back to life.That or either thinks up his friends, Joe, Willy, Dana, and Emma. This book is all about daniel, and his friends, hunting down bad alien outlaws and rescuing the world from being destroyed. Only thing, nobody else knows the world is being destroyed/ taken over by bad aliens. If you like a good laugh, science fiction, and lots of action, this is the perfect book for you. I personally, am not a fan of science fiction, but it's by one of my favourite authors...James Patterson, and my friend gave to me for christmas, so i decided to try it. It is actually quite funny, and even if you aren't crazy on sci-fi, its still a really funny, interesting book.

Deadline
...Ok so, i finished the book deadline, and it was an awesome book. I recomend it to pretty much everyone. It was a mixture of things all in one, and if you cry during the sad parts in books..you'll definatly cry during this one. As I said before, he only has a year to live, so when you start reading the book your like, ok so he's going to die, thats got to suck, and he's not going to tell anyone??!!...but when he actually does die, I was still depressed about it. Ben wolf (the main character) is a very lovable character, and I easily got attached to him. It will make you laugh,cry, and question yourself, as to what you would decide.

Twilight
ok, so I'm a huuge fan of twilight, and I cannot wait till the movie!!!!! for any of you who are also fans, here's a clip for it:)http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=k1GbukZnl1Y
Deadline
ok, so currently i'm reading a book called deadline. I'm not quite done but I've only got about 30 pages to go!!! So far,I really like this book, and I think i'm safe to say i will still like it by the end, seeing as there's only 30 more pages to go! Deadline is about this boy, Whose name is Ben Wolf. Ben finds out he only has about a year to live very early in the book, and it's basically all about his decisions of who he decides to tell, and what he decides to do, since he only has a year. For starters he decides to try out for football, (he's kind of the oppisite size of a football player..as in pretty short, and sort of skinny)and for another he decides to try talking to his long time crush, Dallas Suzuki. He ends up playing football, and he also ends up dating his long time crush. But as time goes by, his life is getting shorter and shorter, and the only people who know that he's dying are his doctor and his new therapist. If you enjoy a book that makes you laugh, and has quite a few twists and turns, this is the book for you.

Witch child
hey, so, this is pretty much the first time i've done a blog, so if it's really boring, just remember, im just learning! so, in class, we have this project, where we have to read independent novels, and then we have to write about them. the first book i've decided to write about is witch child. Witch child is about this girl, who lives in the 1600's and she lives in Europe. The book is all about her journey to america, hoping to be free, and start a new life. She flees from her home because her grandmother is murdered for suposedly being a witch. She knows her life is in danger if she stays, because they will want to kill her too. wether she's a witch or not, that's up to you to decide. I really liked this book, and thought that it was an easy read for me, and that it was really interesting, to see how different peoples beliefs, could become a huge problem, so much that, harmless people were killed. Mary, the main character, and the one telling the story, seems to me like a really nice girl, who just happened to live in the wrong time period, in the wrong places. she was a very kind, and gentle person, and never meant any harm to anyone. Reverend johnson the older pastor of the group, seemed to be kind of a snob. He seemed to think of himself as the best, and that everyone should listen to him, and that if you didn't follow his rules at all times, you were against him, and everyone else.I thought it was quite ignorant of the pastor, and the other people, to be so against the natives, and to not allow others, to associate with the natives. I really liked the natives, and how they showed Mary and Jonah the different plants, and helped them make jonah's book. They were really quite kind people, and willing to share their land, and their knowledge, but the people of beaulah(the ones who took it) thought differently, and pretty much just shoved them off of it, and starved them. For jaybird and his grandfather to come back, and show Jonah and Mary all these things, it showed they still had hope, that they could maybe help a few of them, if not all, and that they meant no harm. That is why I thought of the reverend Johnson ignorant, because obviously the natives meant no harm, but instead he didn't care, he just wanted the land, and the food. Then he turned around and started saying they were apart of the devil's plan, and not to talk to them. Overall, this book is really good, and if you haven't already read it, then I think you should; as long as you like adventure, and don't mind some religion, and some fantasy. It will leave you wondering how they could think so differently back then.
