4th post

Hi. It's me again. I have just started reading a book called Eleven. It is about a boy named Sam. (I forgot his last name. I'll fill you in on that later.) He finds out on his 11th birthday that he was once a missing child, or so he thinks. He finds that out from an old newspaper article he finds in the attic while looking for his presents for his birthday. He has a grandpa named Mack, that he loves so much, but is starting to doubt is actually his real grandfather. I can't tell you much more. I just started reading the book yesterday.

3rd post. (a bit late)

Hi. Sorry I haven't done any posts recently. My internet was down for about a week. Anyway, getting on to the book part. I recently finished the book Evil Genius by Catherine Jenks. It was a long book. It had around 60 chapters. (SPOILER ALERT) It is about a boy named Cadel Piggott, or so he thinks. His actual name is Cadel Darkkon.(just the last name is evil) He is related to the evil Dr. Phineas Darkkon, who is in jail for his crimes against humanity. He created a university made specially for Cadel. It is called the Axis Institute. It has evil kids who have special abilities or have robbed many places. The students they mentioned in the book are named Abraham, Jemima and Niobe(nicknamed Gemini), Doris, Gazo, and Cadel.
Gemini are twins who repeatedly have robbed stores. Abraham is paying to go there and wants to make vampires for reasons that I am not sure of. Gazo has a bad stench that is unhealthy for people and Dr. Darkkon wants him to channel. My favorite character is probably Cadel because it tells about all his troubles, about his family life, the important people in his life, like Thaddeus Roth a.k.a. Prosper English, who is Cadel's psychiatrist and wants him to rule the world. Cadel also learns about what life is like outside of the Institute. The life he chooses to live is______________ (Read the book to find out!)

My opinions (demanded by Ms. Pietrzak)

My opinion on the characters of Everlost is that Allie is kind of a wild child once she gets to Everlost. Nick really embodies the part of being Mary's nemesis. Mary embodies taking away the coins, which actually let the person remember who they are and other things about them. This only happens if the coin is warm when it is in the person's hands. If the coin feels hot to the Afterlight, it will help them remember and they will almost instantly remember who they are.
ADIOS, AND GOOD NIGHT :-blake

Review of Everlost by Neal Schusterman

Hi. It's me again. Yet another book has been finished. I read the book Everlost by Neal Schusterman. It is about 2 people named Nick and Allie. They die in a car crash and bump each other on their way to the light of the tunnel. Tey wind up in a world called Everlost. In everlost, anything that has died with lots of love in it or something that someone died on is solid to the kids in everlost, named afterlights. Nick and Allie go to the Twin Towers, or World Trade Center, or whatever you want to call it. There they meet lots of other afterlights and the head one, named Mary Hightower. She has written many books for afterlights to read. They are published by many afterlights who just write the whole book out. It goes on to tell all of their adventures and what happens between Nick and Mary in the end. It is a very entertaining book, and it also has life lessons. I'll leave those for you to figure out. I rate this book a 8.75 out of 10. A very good book by Neal Schusterman

examples

One example of Tony's humor is when Conner and Vanessa are sad and talking to each other, he cracks a joke and really lightens the mood when they were both kind of depressed. Another thing about Tony that is nice is that when Vanessa or Conner are alone, he comes and talks to them every time they feel lonely.
Hello:-) this is my blog for lit. skills and other stuff. I just finished reading a book called impulse, by Ellen Hopkins. It is a humorous book about emo people who tried to kill themselves. The main part of the story is about 3 people's recoveries. Their names are Vanessa, Tony, and Conner. Each of them has different stories from their pass. My favorite character of them all is Tony. He has a good sense of humor and he cares deeply about his friends. I won't reveal much more since I want you to read the book. Seeya!
