The Red Pyramid

      The Red Pyramid is a Fantasy book. The book is by Rick Riordan, the story is about how two siblings who are split from each others family. The reason is because they are descendants from the Pharaohs of Egypt and Magician blood, with that Magician siblings trigger there magic. They go with there father to the Museum of British History. When they're there, their father (Julius) summoned 5 different gods Osiris, Isis, Horus, Nyphestis, and Set. Two of the gods "HOSTED" (not possessed), the two. Now they have to find all the gods before the bring APOPHIS the GOD OF CAOS!!!!  

      I think the Red Pyramid is like the Lightning Thief, they are by the same author but there different text. The reason why is because they're both fantasies. They both involve saving there parents. They both include gods of some sort. So the Lightning Thief and Red Pyramid are the same thing in many ways.

       The Red Pyramid is a good book. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I can!!!

       The book I "was" reading, ( I finished and move on to another book ) is Dork Diaries; Tales of a NOT-SO Perfect Pet-Sitter by Rachel Renee Russell. This book is about a teenage girl Nikki, who is crushing on a boy named Brandon, who volunteers for Furry Friends, a business that helps with pets. Brandon and Nikki, walking home from school to Fuzzy Friends when all of a sudden, they find a dog, Holly, and her puppies, left at the front door and they have to take care of her, but fuzzy Friends doesn't have enough room for more animals, so they both have to take care of the dogs without anyone knowing, but a popular brute that possibly will ruin their plan. Get the book and find out if their plan busts or comes out a bit more than planned.
                     This scene reminds me of a time when I did something when I wasn't supposed to and no one found out until then, like when I wasn't supposed to eat the cotton candy until the next day and I would steal or hide some cotton candy at night in my room and I would eat all that I could get ( rebel ;) ) . What's happening in the book gives a similar scenario. But remember, DON'T ever hide something as big as that, unless you are a rebel.
                  To be honest, if I was Nikki, I would NOT bring the pets to school, but bring the pets to a secret hideout and say I was going to the park, ( yes I am a rebel/troublemaker ) and switch off at a better time when the parents don't investigate or realize that their daughter is hiding seven dogs from them.
                     

Text to Text: P.S. I Like You

   The book I am reading now is P.S. I Like You by Kate 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.

    Lily wants to enter a singing/songwriting competition and fantasizes about her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter it reminds me of similar scene in The Ballerina Shoe's. And Lily reminds me of Mary-Ann from the Baby-Sitter's Club.

   While I was reading, I wondered why Cade, the schools's biggest jerk, is so mean to Lily and to ll the freshman. If I were Lily, I would be telling an adult right away if anything bad happened. I'm not sure that Cade likes anyone in the school except himself, his minion's and the people who worship him.


text to text - harry potter and the sorcerer's stone

     I am reading the book harry potter and the sorcerer's stone. This book is about this boy named harry who lives with is uncle and aunt because his parents died . His uncle and aunt are very mean. they yell at him and make his do everything but then he found out that he was a wizard. A wizard that goes to the best wizard school in the world. He get to school and everybody acting different to him because he is famous for his parents. Everyone wants to talk to him and ask him questions. But he just wants to get throw school as being a wizard.
     I am read another book that can I compare to harry potter. Its Stargirl. A book about this kid named Leo that just started up school again but there is something different. There is a new girl named Stargirl . She is very weird, she likes to dance in the rain and sing happy birthday to people. But at first she is the weird new girl that no one likes but then she helps with schoolspirt and becomes popular.
     This compares to Harry potter because Harry is a new kid and is not as weird as he used to be. He is making new friends very fast. But also harry had always had friends and Stargirl didn't have any friends. But also harry hadnt been that weird and Stargirls personality is weird .

Out of My Mind By: Sharon M. Draper

          I'm reading Out om My Mind, by Sharon M. Draper it is about a girl that isn't able to express herself  because of her rare disease . She isn't able to talk, walk, or do any thing a kid is able to do. The doctors aren't able to help her over come this challenge. Now she has been sent to school to try to be as normal as she can.
           I can relate this to, Wonder, because August the main character, and he has a diseases that
           he can't hear very well. He can still talk, walk but does look every different. He can talk, so he is able to make friends. Melody, is a girl just like August. When Melody  gets mad she goes into what she calls "tornado mode" , this is where she throws a fit to get people to listen to her. August, on the other hand does't  throw fits. He is pretty normal compared to Melody. In all they are very similar to one another, because they both have a rare disease.
            I 'm very excited to see how my book ends. I really hope that it does't end up being super sad. I hope it ends up teaching you a lesson, and ends up being a happy book the I think it will be. I want to see how my book end, and see if it will turn out the way I think it will. I want to read more tho see how it ends.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Grim Grotto

     The story I am reading is A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Grim Grotto by Lemony Snicket. My book is about Three orphans named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. The three siblings are trying to find the precious sugar bowl everybody is trying to get including their evil uncle, Olaf. The sugar bowl is supposed to have a very special object inside of it and the siblings are going into a scary cave to find it. Meanwhile Olaf is right behind them.
     Violet Baudelaire reminds me of Percy Jackson because both of them didn't think that that they could be heroes and both of them became heroes. A scene in this book where they are on the river reminds me of the book that I am reading right now called Magnus Chase, where he fights in the water trying to get his sword. Klaus reminds me of Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson because they are both wise and smart. Sunny reminds me of Nico Di Angelo from Percy Jackson because both of them have been kidnapped and both think that they can do anything.
     I love how the author decided to age Sunny up and make her more mature. I don't like how the siblings are going into a creepy cave to find a sugar bowl. I was surprised when they put Sunny inside of a helmet.
     
     

Text to Text- The Red Pyramid

     I am reading The Red Pyramid by, Rick Riordan.This story is about present time colliding with Egyptian times.So far they have became magicians the mortal gods but, they have to go on a journey all the way to the Tuat the Underworld of the Egyptians.They have learned how to not just fly like a falcon but turn into a living falcon.They have ran away from magicians every other second and have discovered crazy powers.Now their on a boat going into the underworld but you'd have to read the book to see what happens.
     This scene reminds me of when Percy Jackson and his friends get into trouble in The Lightning Thief, he looses his mother yet does everything he can to go find her. He then goes into the underworld and saves her.Carter in the Red Pyramid was very unskillful when it came to battle but, after awhile he seemed better and now can turn into a falcon and a warrior at any moment.Carter is like a little brother trying to learn things and keeps getting better and better.
     If I was Carter I would be trying as hard as I could to win this battle between Set.He might not be good enough to battle but his father is trapped and he needs to save him.Noticing that Sadie is way better in battle and magic between them.But who knows maybe Carter will step up.
