I'm reading the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney. This book is about a boy named Greg and his family and they go on a surprise road trip. It doesn't go as planned though. The family encounters so many bumps in the road. The trip wasn't pleasant for anyone especially Greg.
I can compare this to events around me. I can compare because once my friend, Bailey went on a road trip and it didn't go so well. Her car was broken into and all of her stuff was stolen. Then during the trip her mom broke her foot in a storm grate. Her trip went down in flames just like the Heffley's did.
I really like this idea of the book because it is very relatable. I mean its realistic fiction so this book could be based on real events. Besides I'm sure everyone who has siblings has problems with sharing and just getting along because I know I do. Also kids all of ages can read and understand the books because of how good it fits into kids lives. I enjoyed reading this book.

The Hunger Games Text To World
The Hunger Games is a book about a girl named Katniss who lives in a poor district, district 12. Districts are like states, there are laws in each district. Katniss, her sister and her mother went to see who would be picked for the tributes for the Hunger Games. After Katniss's sister was chosen as a tribute, Katniss feared of her sister being in the Hunger Games so Katniss volunteered as Tribute for her sister. Now Katniss is in the Hunger Games with another tribute named Peeta. Katniss is now training for the Hunger Games.
This reminds me of when men used to have to go to war no matter what. In the Hunger Games 2 people in each district have to play in the games no matter the cost of death. Hunger Games has many other connections to share but this is a main connection from the story to the world. This is because the games is the whole point of the book. Without the games there would be no story so I chose the main connection.
I liked the genre of the book a lot and this is a book I recommend this book for everybody in 7th or 8th grade because of the word choice. The book makes sense and doesn't confuse you on what is happening. The book has great detail for you to imagine what the games were really like. Hopefully you will read this amazing book soon.http://www.suzannecollinsbooks.com/

Text to world: Rebels of the Kasbah
Rebels of the Kasbah is a story about how an Orphan, a village boy, a tribe boy and an English school girl use their friend ship to escape slavery. Tariq, an orphan, is kidnapped from his orphanage in Tangier. Aseem is sold into slavery by his father, while Fez's family gets brutally slaughtered by Zahir, a ruthless servant under Caid Ali Tamzali. Margaret, an English schoolgirl, gets kidnapped from a hotel after jumping off her fathers ship which was being raided by pirates. All four of these friends plan an escape after Sanaa, and Zijuan lead a resistance army to save them.
I think this relates to real world events because in the Rif mountain range, there are many rebels. This story also connects to real life because the french did try to claim Morocco. In real life there is still today, slavery and Casbahs. I think that in some middle eastern countries and in Africa, life can sometimes be cruel. And the Saharan desert really does get to 120 degrees a lot.
I still don't know how, if one is kidnapped a free person, they become slave property when kidnapped? Also, I don't get how Tariqs mom and her clan would risk all of their lives to save one boy? I also don't get why all the warlords would eventually join the French if they know their land would be taken from them.

Text to World P.S I Like You
The book I am currently reading is P.S. I Like You by Kasie West. After her chemistry teacher banned her notebook from class, because she was writing lyrics instead of writing notes, Lily is forced to scribble lyrics on her desk. Then, when she came to class the next day, she finds the lyrics have been finished. Suddenly, Lily finds herself swapping notes with the mysterious pen pal and telling him all about her crazy family, friends and life. It was easy sharing problems with someone you don't know. Lily soon finds herself falling deeply in love with the mystery man, while trying to figure out who it could be, the nice guy her friend is trying to get her with, the school's biggest jerk and the person Lily hates, or the cute hoodie-and-Converse guy who always has his earbuds in (and the guy Lily likes)? You need to read the book to find out.
The conflict in the story is that Lily is being bullied by the schools biggest jerk, Cade, just like in some schools, kids get bullied by older or bigger kids in their school.Then, there is the other conflict where Lily is trying to find her anonymous pen pal, just like when the slaves were trying to escape, the masters didn't know who was taking or hiding them.
If I were Lily, I would go out and try to find out who the mysterious pen pal is. I found the answer to my last question. Cade is mean to Lily because Lily thought Cade was making fun of her when he gave her the nickname, Magnet. I hope that everything comes out better in the end of the story.

text to world Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
I am reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling. It is about a boy named Harry being chased by Voldemort, The evil vizard rising to power. There are many great and thrilling moments in it. It has some connections to todays world even though it was written years ago.
It connects in manny ways. One is that in the story there is a large sports gathering and that is common all over the world. It also has a moment where there are wizards that attack the event. That has been happening lately. When a person does something that scares allot of people many times in the book so people are after him. Also Harry thinks something is wrong but people don't believe him because he is a kid and that is normal in todays world.
I think Harry Potter is a great series. It deals with some things in the world while still having an interesting story. If you like a great story to occupy your time this is a great book. The series is amazing.

Fablehevean
Fablehevean is a good book in my opinion because it is my favorite genre. The genre is fantasy because it has mythical creatures and magic. It`s about Kendra and her brother Seth going on a trip to their grandparents house out in the woods. What they expected is less then what they actually got from the trip.
It`s about a vacation and a lot of people go on vacations. On most vacations you don`t get to see real mythical creatures, especially at you grandparents house. Thats not the case when Kendra and Seth go to their grandparents house. Fableheaven, as it`s called, is past from caretaker to caretaker just like a house which is past from owner to owner.
Now I wonder why Seth and Kendra`s grandpa chose to be the caretaker. I love the way the story is written. It`s so detailed and you can see everything perfectly in your head. I don`t understand some of the words though but, don`t let that discourage you to read it because it`s a really good book.

The Red Pyramid-Tryston Oliver
Have you ever wondered about time traveling?What about time coming to you!I am reading The Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan.So far Carter and Sadie have experienced some hard fights.They have finally reached Phoenix/Set on the day of his birthday.Now they have to stop him before he gets to powerful to stop.He said he is too destroy their world to make his own.You'd have to read this book to find out.
This could be described as World War II, Set was like Hitler he didn't like anybody but himself.He wanted power and to Kill anybody in his path.Which made the magicians pretty mad but, they also thought it was Carter and Sadie's fault for letting him become what he is, such as the people voting Hitler their president.This is also a similar event in presidential issues.Americans are thinking trump is bad for doing good stuff that really they are over exaggerating.But since Hillary hasn't said any of this or even a good cause to help she is given help same as Set being let loose just because Carters dad was trying to help.Yet now it's on the kids?
I wonder why these causes are always all similar to world events or history?I gets you thinking how the author writes a good book.He connects it to something that kids think is a major issue.I think that every author should do this to make their books better.What event brought you into your book?
