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.

The trickster Kyprioth is a raka god and was thrown from his throne as the ruler of the Copper Isles by his sibling gods.

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.
