Out of my mind by: Sharon draper

         I'm  reading Out of my mind by Sharon Draper  Melody is the main character, she has a disability, and isn’t able to walk, or talk. Someone has to do everything for her. Then she finally has the chance to go to school, and goes into what they call room H-5 it’s the room for the kids with special needs. After that her mother has a baby named Penny. She then has a chance to join a regular class instead of being stuck in her normal class. Melody was nervous  that she might make a fool of herself. After spending a few day in a regular class she was able to make a friend named, Rose.
It can relate to the world because may people have disabilities just like Melody. Many kids, or adults suffer from the disabilities, similar to Melody. Melody has try to go to school with the fact that she does have a disability, and face the mean world and she might not even make friends. Just like if you were to go to work, or school you would have to face to world, and the mean comments that people would say about you.
Melody has to go to school to and face the mean comments of her classmates.
I'm so excited to see how my book ends. I'm hoping it ends well for Melody and she make lots of friends. I also hope is is able to over come her challenging life. I hope she can inspire other people to do the same. I super excited to know if she over comes her challenge.

Text to World: The 5th Wave

  The book The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey is about the apocalypse invasion. Cassie, the main character lost her family to it, from deceiving soldiers to the red death. Before it all, no one had been aware. No one could have cared. Until it struck. The first wave blacking out all electricity. The second, surf's up. The third, a deadly disease causing people to bleed out called the Red Death, or Pestilence. The fourth, the silencers come to wipe out anyone else who survived the third. And the fifth is coming, no one knowing of what is is, what to expect of it, and to trust no one.
  This story is similar to the Civil War because of how many deaths there were. Millions of the population was wiped from the Civil War, and in The 5th Wave, many people are killed, too.In the Civil War, people died because of fighting, and that could be close to this case. In the book, people are killed by the Others, but with unknown reasons. Although they are similar, in the Civil War people fought in war and for their rights and beliefs. In the story, people's lives are lost because intentional reasons of some sort.
  I wonder why the Others are attacking the human population, attempting to take as many lives as possible. Maybe to take over Earth? I don't know. The last people left are either just taking the Other's side in taking people, or they are building armies of some kind by training the last of humanity to fight back.

Text to World: The 39 Clues the Maze of Bones

      Suddenly Grace discovers no one knows anything about the clues. The 39 Clues The Maze of Bones is a book written by Rick Riordan which is full of mystery and adventure. Amy and Dan Cahill have, well actually had a relative that recently died. Her name was Grace Cahill. Before dying, Grace cahill left a challenge for the family members, the family members could choose to leave the challenge or take the challenge. Amy and Dan took the challenge, though they didn't know where to start. Suddenly they found a secret library which was Grace Cahill's library.
      This problem is a bit similar to an event in history which is about the Northerners and the Southerners. It is similar because in the book Grace Cahill challenges the family members and in the historical event the Southerners challenged the Northerners to the Civil War. The problem of The 39 Clues the Maze of Bones is similar to an event about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
In the book Grace challenges the family members. Right now Trump is challenging Hillary to be the president if she dares.
      I wonder why Grace Cahill left a challenge for the family. It was probably to reveal a mystery
or a secret. A second possibility is because she wanted the person that solved the mystery to have all of her money and riches. Another possibility I thought of, was that she wanted the family members that didn't win, let the m know who the smart one is in the family. The very last possibility I thought of was that she wanted the family members to know who their ancestors were and that they are part of one of the most important families in history.

Text to world- Counting by 7's

     This book is called counting by 7's it is by; Holly Goldberg Sloan.  Counting by 7’s is a book about a girl named Willow Chance and she was adopted by two people that couldn't have kids. But something bad happens. Her mom and dad died in a car crash and she was so sad and didn't know what to think or do, but going on she learns how to move on but still hold on. And she shows you how much you really appreciate your family and friends.
In the book something devastating happens as it read in paragraph one, Willows parents died in a car crash. In the world things such as car crashes and kids parents dying really do happen. Some kids don't know what to do or think like Willow didn't. And car crashes happen all the time, small ones or awful and really bad ones.
     I  Felt so sad when I  found out her parents died.  I would feel the same way where I wouldn't know what to do, or how to feel, I would just feel shocked and really, really sad.  I don't know how I could overcome this tragedy. I would feel awful and  devastated , But later in life I know I would learn to move on but still hold my parents close in my heart.

Urban Outlaws-Text to World

     Urban Outlaws is a Realistic-Fiction book by: Peter Jay Black. It is about five kids who have no parents. What they want to do is, they want to give those who have little, a little bit more. They call it R.A.K's (random acts of kindness). When they  do this they find their "targets" and give them what they need for their life. When they see the reaction of their "targets" face it's usually a face of surprise. But the Outlaws have a struggle, they get their money from smugglers who are illegally smuggling items, and when they get caught things start to go south.

      I can relate Urban Outlaws to almost any thing. I can relate it to who ever gives R.A.K (I tried finding anyone but I couldn't). Kids can have struggles without there parents. They can live in orphanages. Anyone can do what they want there are a lot of people that do this.

     I like the way the author puts his books into description. If I were one of the outlaws I would attempt to keep things silent. The Character I most admire is Jack, because he tries to keep the others safe. I hope you could like this book as much as I could.    

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan

     My book is called Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan. Magnus Chase ends up on the streets when his mother tells him to run and that she would find him. But his mother never found him because an evil wolf killed her. Now he searches for food on the streets until he tries to save the world. The next thing he knows, hes being blown off of a bridge and in the halls of Valhalla. Valhalla is a special place for heroes and that is where he met Samariah Al Abbas, a Valkyrie. Now he is trying to save the world even though he doesn't want to.
     A problem in this story is where Surt, a fire giant, is trying to take over the city. We've had a problem like this during 9/11 where terrorist tried to take over a plane and crash it. During my book when Surt tried to take over Magnus refused to let it happen. Magnus said in my book that he would die if he had to so that he could defeat Surt. On 9/11, the people refused to let the terrorists take over the plane and fought to take the plane back. Every person on that plane didn't care if they died, as long as the plane didn't reach its destined target, which was said to be The White House.
     I love how in the book Magnus is so brave and courageous and how he doesn't care what happens to him. The character I most admire is Magnus because of how he doesn't give up when his mother died. I like Blitzen because he never gives up on his dreams of becoming a clothes designer.

Text to World: Guardians of Ga'hoole

I am reading Guardians of Ga'hoole right now. There are about 14 or 15 books in the series. Anyways, the author is Kathryn Lasky. To summarize the book I am reading, it is about Coryn and Soren reading about the Legends of how the Ga'hoole tree came to be. I'm not going to tell you anything else because if you want to know what it is about, you have to read it yourself.

When the character Siv flees so Lord Arrin won't steal her egg, it reminds me of in history when sometimes armies would flee because the enemy is overpowering them. Also, When Pleek and Ygryk try to steal Siv's egg, it reminds me of times when Adults sometimes kidnap children that are walking down the street.

I was surprised when Fengo ripped out one of the other wolf's eye because it is unusual. Apparently,
in this book it is a tradition to rip out eyes at the beyond the beyond. The first time I read the book I was worried that Siv would die, because many times Lord Arrin and his army surrounded her so I thought they would kill her, but it turned out many times she escaped. There are some spoilers in this book I do not want to tell you because i want you to read it instead of me trying to spoil the plot of the story.
