Everest Book Two: The Climb

Everest Book Two: The Climb is an awesome book. Everest is mostly about four kids, Dominic, Tilt, Sammi, and Perry who try to climb the biggest mountain in the world. They travel to Nepal and begin their training. The altitude is high and Dominic can't take it. Dominic gets HAPE, which means it is hard to breathe. When they get to camp, Tilt spreads news about Dominic to reporters. Cap Cicero, the leader, doesn't know that Tilt was spreading the news. During Dominic's recovery , the team starts up the mountain.
When Dominic recovered , he was helping the sherpa's. The sherpas carry and lift bags for the climbers. Dominic was the youngest , but he was by far the strongest. When Dominic started up the mountain, he could feel the altitude changing. The weather is very harsh, it can get to minus sixty-six degrees. The suns rays are so strong, they had to wear sunscreen. When they reached camp four, Cap Cicero was listening to the radio to see if any teams had made it to the top. He heard a weird noise, it was Ethan Zaph's sherpa, Lansang. Ethan Zaph is the youngest person to ever reach the summit. Lansang said that Nestor, the journalist, was unconscious, but Ethan wanted to continue his climb. Ethan's team was trying to climb Everest without oxygen masks.
Many climbers make poor decisions when they don't have enough oxygen in their brains.
That meant, Dominic, Sammi, Tilt and Perry would have to save Ethan and Nestor.Once they found them, Ethan was in the death zone with no oxygen. They strapped oxygen masks on and headed down. Perry noticed Nestor didn't have any crampons on his feet. Crampons are razor sharp shoes that climbers wear to have more traction. They realized that they were stuck in his back. When they pulled the crampons out, he screamed.
When they arrived at camp four, Cap Cicero and Dr. Oberman were waiting in the tent. Dr. Oberman took Nestor down to camp two and eventually back to the city to recover.
At the end, Nestor is okay. Tilt confesses that he was spreading the news and everybody is okay.
If you like suspense, action, drama and adventure, then you will like the Everest series. After I read the first book, I was looking forward to reading Book Two:The Climb. I really liked Everest Book Two:The Climb. It is action packed, drama filled and one of the most intense books I have ever read.

The Wanderer

My book was called The Wanderer. This book is just right for you if you like adventure and a whole lot of suspense!This book is about a young girl named Sophie who goes on a very exciting adventure with her cousins Cody and Brian. She also goes on this journey with her uncles. At first Sophies mother didn't want her to go on the adventure. As soon as her uncles and cousins came to get her and the boats ready her mom had no choice but to let her go with them! On this adventure their destination is Ireland. They are gonig to Ireland from Connecticut. They are going to Ireland to see their grandfather Bompie. They are going to see Bompie for two reasons, the first reason is that he is very sick and he has a nurse living at his house with him. The second reason is, they haven't seen him in a long time and they wanted to catch up with him and see how he is doing. Although there are some bumps along the road while they are traveling to get there. They are traveling just fine until there are storm clouds up ahead. They would turn around but, then the storm would be pushing them with it and they would never stop going. They decide to go straight through the storm and luckily they made it out safely. After the storm they took a rest and docked at a small town nearby. The people there are very nice. All of a sudden no one can find Sophie and Cody? Where could they be? They found a small boat and traveled to an island that their grandfather Bompie met his first wife at. Cody did not know that the island is where their grandfather had met his first wife Rose. They stayed there for only a day and when they came back they headed off to continue their journey. They were about three fourths away from their destination.Two days after they started their journey they were there in Ireland they were so excited to be there. That night they had to stay in an inn until their grandfather was well enough for them to be able to see him. The next day they headed to Bompie's house and when they approached him the nurse said to be very calm and quiet because he is very confused and doesn't know who they are, who he is , why they are there, and who they are. But, when they started to tell him one thing about each of them and a couple of things about his own life then he started to understand them. They were very happy to see him as his old self again! Sadly the nurse said that they had to leave and he needed some rest because it ws very overwhelming for him to see all five people at once. Even though there were ups and downs in this book it was definetly a good book!

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, drama , and especially adventure! You can find it here in our local Woodbrook library! The author of this book is Sharon Creech. If you like this book you would also look for, Walk Two Moons, and Chasing Redbird! I hope you will enjoy this book as much as i did!

Then a big wave came, and the crew had to get into inflatable boats and get sail in those. They forgot to take the Robinson family with them, so the family was stranded there. The family found some barrels, to make a boat, 2 dogs (named Turk and Flora), a cow, 2 goats, a mule, 6 sheep, a pig, some hems, roosters, pigeons, geese, and ducks! Land was not far away from the broken boat, so the family made life jackets for the animals. On land, the Robinsons built a house in a tree and a barn for their animals. There was a storm coming, so the Robinsons had to build a tent on the ground as their new home. The next day, Fritz went exploring and found a monkey, a coconut tree, and European fruits. Fritz, Dad, Turk and Flora, went out hunting and found buffalo. They killed a mother buffalo, and took her baby and they kept and tamed it.

An English ship arrives, and they offered to take the family home with Emily and the crew. The family loved their new home, do the go? To find out, you must read The Swiss Family Robinson.
I LOVED this book, because it was really fascinating, the family had to move their home a couple times, they found animals they haven't seen before. It was a really good book! For example when the snake wraps itself around the donkey, you would think the donkey would stay alive, well you would be wrong! This book was really good!

Hoot


Roy has just moved from Montana to Florida. He is on the bus. While he was looking out the window, he saw a boy. It looked like just an ordinary boy. A boy that was running to catch the bus. There were just a few things that weren't right though. When he was running, he had no backpack. He also had no shoes. And the oddest thing of all: When the boy Reached the bus, he just went right past it. Roy was very curious. He tries to Chase after him the next day. He couldn't because he was also facing a bully named Dana Matherson. Dana clamped his damp, meaty hands over Roy's throat. Roy was struggling to get air; he blindly swung his fist. Then, Roy felt his hand hit something.... Dana Matherson's nose! Apparently, Roy broke Dana's nose. At the same time, there is a crime done at the new Mother Paula's Pancake House. Roy wonders if the running boy, Dana, and the crime would all tie together somehow.
I liked this book because it was very exciting. From the cover, it seems very boring. It's actually very interesting! I liked it because there are two mysteries that are tied together. I would highly recommend this book
-Sebreena Zalam


Meg's story is about a girl who is 13 years old she has 3 other sisters named Jo,Beth,and Amy.Meg's parents aren't the richest people around in fact they pretty much are really poor.Jo is selfish but Meg has to learn how to live with her.Beth is really caring she loves the outdoors and doesn't like it when people are sad.Amy is the shyest of them all she always wants another doll to play with; she is also the youngest of the group!Meg is my favorite not just because she has the same name as me but because i love how she holds all of her sisters together because without Meg Jo,Beth,and Amy would be fighting all the time!

Meg sometimes feels unappreciated because she feels like its always up to her to do the right thing when she thinks her sisters should amke the right decision for themselves.Jo says Meg is just over reacting but in my opinion i agree with Meg!Beth always trys to do stuff on her own but sometimes it hard because she is still very young and its hard for her to go to her mom for advice because her mom is always busy with something and her dad is always at work!Amy is the youngest and she will always need someone to look up to;and Meg does not want that person to be Jo because she just doesn't think her sister has the responsible side.So Meg has to be in charge but the part that i love about this book is they stick together like glue!!!

So go ahead and read this book i loved and so will you!

She fallows the rabbit into the whole and she finds herself falling a great distance. After a while, she finally lands with a thud!

Alice walks inside to see what was wrong, when she fins to guys and a little dormouse. The first guy, Hatter, said to Alice that she should really meet the Queen. So Alice decides to go meet the Queen, when she meets a cat like no other. This cat could disappear and reappear in a different place.The cat led Alice to the Queen, where she was playing croquet. The Queen was like no other Queen, because if you do or say one thing wrong, she would chop your head off! The Queen told Alice that she should go see the mock turtle, to hear his tale. The mock turtle started to tell Alice his tale, when he thought he should teach Alice a new dance. To find out what the tale was, to find out if Alice ever got home, you have to read Alice In Wonderland!

If you want to read a different book for a change, this would be the book! My favorite character was the strange cat, because it would really cool to disappear and reappear! You could sneak up on your friends, and scare them! The cat could slowly disappear,so your head could be where people can see it, but your body would be gone! If you read this book I am sure you will like the book and the cat as much as I did!This book is by Lewis Carroll.

No Talking



This book is about a boy named Dave and a girl named Lynsey. Dave thinks girls talk way more than boys but Lynsey thinks boys talk way more than girls. They decide to have a contest to see who talks the most, boys or girls in the 5th grade. The contest would last for two days. Soon the whole 5th grade knew about the contest. The rules were you can't talk to teachers unless they ask you a question but you must respond in three words or less, you are not allowed to talk at home, and every extra word you use would count against you. Dave would keep track of the boys mistakes and Lynsey would keep track of the girls. When the contest started it was going fine except the teachers were getting suspicious because the 5th grade was know for talking and if they just stop talking every one notices. the three word answers were getting annoying to the teachers they thought it disrupted their classes. The principal did not like this game at all she thought it was better for them to talk. She called a meeting right before lunch with the 5th grade. She told them it must be put to an end. At lunch they were still not talking so she was mad. Soon Dave got called to the office. When he got there the principal was not mad at all she was happy. Dave did not understand what was going on. The principal had turned out to like the no talking thing so she only called Dave to her office to say thank you. In the end it ended as a tie.

I really like this book. I have always like Andrew Clements books for soon reason they just entertain me. it was like you were in the story and a part of no talking. The only thing is you kind of know whats going to happen next sometimes. I hope you read this book.

Eragon is very poor his family is poor and never once have they had enough money to buy food so he tried to sell the rock but no one would buy it. So he went to a merchant to see how much the rock was worth and the merchants weight carrier broke right in front of him the merchant quickly grabbed the rock to see how much it weighed it weighed less than 1 pound. Then strange things start happening like empire soldiers coming into Carnvahall and these strange beasts come in called ra`zac and in the other book you will find out what these animal beast things are. Then at night the rock starts moving then a crack appears on the rock then the rock hatches into a dragon. The rock was actually an egg a rare dragon egg the only people who owned dragons were the riders they failed a long time ago like 300 years ago. But then Eragon had to make a name for the blue female dragon. Her name is now Saphira.


Doesn`t this book sound so cool I bet you, you want to read this book just like I did and I recommend this for 4th grade and up. One other sequel to this book is Eldest is when Eragon
is planing to destroy the empire and take the other two dragon eggs so the dragons will be freed not a pet. Here is a picture of the book (up left corner the first one).

Trickster's Queen


Aly is still protecting the Balitangs and still the god Kyprioth's spy. The family has now moved back to Rajumaut. The current king known as the child Dunevon has a loyal protector, this could be a problem for the raka rebellion's plan to get a raka queen on the throne may not go too smoothly. Will Aly succeed or does the future queen have other plans? Will the rakas ever rise again?


This book was very good, it was surprising because it was the last book. The last book to me, should always be the best and this book was. A lot of authors don't really deliver on the last book but this was great. It was a book that gradually answered my questions and in the end, the plot just clicked. It was definitely an attention grabbing book. This author made this book very creatively and it is spilling over with imagination. I liked this book, yes and it was definitely no let down.

No Talking!

This book is about a school called Laketon Elementary. The fifth graders there are never quiet. In fact they have a nickname "The Unshushables." There is a boy named Dave Packer. He read a book about a guy who didn't talk on certain days. So Dave decides to try not talking for a day. He was doing just fine until lunch when he hears Lynsey Burgess talking like there is no tomorrow. So he yells " If you have to stop talking for one second your head would explode." He ended up saying boys talk way less than girls do. So he challenges the girls to no talking for a week. It's boys against girls. The sides can only use three word sentences. The side that talks less wins.

This was a great book. It was funny and I couldn't put it down. I couldn't wait to see who won. This book had a great lesson.Stand up for what you believe in. I recommend this book to anyone who loves comedy and fun stories. It was the best book ever!

Mr.Popper's Penguins

Mr.Popper is a big fan of the Antarctic. He always listens to a radio with Admiral Drake talking about Antarctica. Although Mr.Popper is a house painter, he wrote once to Admiral Drake. To thank him for writing, Admiral Drake sent Mr.Popper a penguin. Mr.Popper has a wife and two kids that are about ten years old. They all loved the penguin. The family is poor though. They named the penguin Captain Cook. Of course, it costs a lot of money to take care of a penguin. Later, Captain Cook was feeling sick. Then, Admiral Drake sent Greta (another penguin) to keep Captain Cook company. Later on, Greta started laying eggs. It was very surprising because penguins are only supposed to lay two eggs at a time. Instead, She layed ten. Altogether, Mr.Popper had twelve penguins. This was very hard to keep them alive because they were not very wealthy. Will they be able to pay their money back?
I like the book Mr.Popper's Penguins because it is funny, exciting, and interesting. You just want to keep on reading! It's also very sad at times. I would still highly recommend this book.

Trickster's Choice




Aly is sixteen and wants to be a spy for her father, but just because she wants it doesn't mean she'll get it. She tries to get her mother to side with her only to have her explode in anger, so she decides to take her ship, The Cub, to a friend's house by the coast. Unfortunately, she never gets there because she is kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave. She is lucky because she is sold to the Balitang family who is nicer towards their slaves. The family is sent into exile by their crazed king, King Oron, and Aly makes a deal. The trickster Kyprioth is a raka god and was thrown from his throne as the ruler of the Copper Isles by his sibling gods. He tells Aly if she can keep this family safe for the summer he will send her home, she is but a pawn in his greatest trick ever.

I think this book was one of the books I just am always eager to read. I really liked the type of book with all the things that made it different. It was suspenseful at parts, but it changed very quickly. The plot was complicated and at times confusing, but very well thought out. All in all this book was wonderful and very interesting to read.

Breaking Dawn is the 4th and last book of the Twilight Saga.This book has three stories, two of Bella's point of view and one of Jacob's point of veiw. The first part is Bella's. This book is about a girl named Bella who is 18 years old. She has been dating this mysterious vampire for about a year. Edward then asks Bella to marry her. Bella says "yes". They have their wedding which was great for everyone except Jacob Black because he is in LOVE with her. After their wedding, they go on their honeymoon. They went to Edward's mom's Island. Bella gets pregnant which is against the vampire rule and impossible because Edward is particularly dead and Vampire children are evil. When Bella was carrying the baby she went through so much pain people thought she wouldn't make it. When Bella is having the baby she is dying so Edward bits her. Bella then becomes a vampire. Usually when u become a vampire all you think about and crave is BLOOD! It's blood that blood this, but Bella has some kind of special power she doesn't crave blood, but she still drinks it. Jacob's Point of View- Jacob's pack wants to kill Bella's baby while she was carrying it which meant that they had to kill her. Jacob and Seth don't want to and Jacob wants to be the alpha and have his own pack.One day, he gets really mad at Sam. Jacob runs off alone. A few hours later Seth Clearwater comes because he doesn't want to be under Sam's power and doesn't want to hurt Bella and her baby.Jacob and Seth keep watch around the Cullen's hunting border.Jacob then sences a werewolve and thinks it's Sam and his pack.Jacob runs off to go see who it was. It was only Leah Clearwater. Seth's sister. Leah is afraid of Seth getting hurt and she wanted him to come back home to La Plush. Seth doesn't want to go so Leah stays even though Jacob and her don't get along at all. The wolves keep watch, but no sign of the werewolves. Then one of Sam's pack members come to ask for forgiveness and wants the three to come home, but they don't go they want to protect Bella and the Cullen family. Bella's Point of View- Bella is a newborn vampire with a newborn baby. When Bella, Edward, and Reneseme go hunting Irina (one of Tanya's coven) sees Reneseme and she thinks it is a Vampire child (which are forbidden because they killed so many people which could have exposed the world of vampires.) Irina then runs off to tell Aro and his Coven. Alice has a vision that they were coming. Aro really wants Edward and Alice to work for him, but he wants Alice more. Alice runs off with Jasper and leaves clues for Bella and a note for the Cullen family. One of the clues, told Bella to meet this guy called by Jenkins. He gave Bella two fake ID's. One for Reneseme and the other one for Jacob. She made these so Reneseme could run away with Jacob and not die like her vampire family might. The Cullen's the ask all the vampire covens they could to help the Cullens prove that Reneseme is human and vampire and she brings no harm. Aro and his coven comes...who dies.......does Reneseme die or does she stay alive..... find out for yourself by reading "Breaking Dawn"
I recommend this book , but it is very long it is around 720 pages long. I loved this book sooo much it is one of my favorites in the Twilight saga. I thought it was really sad when i finished the series. I didn't know what to read, but I did find a series that I should have finished last year. I also can't wait for the movies! You must read this book!
