Cahills vs vespers

Cahills vs Vespers: The Medusa Plot
Gordon Korman 
   The Medusa plot is about Amy and Dan Cahill. Some of the Cahill family is captured by vesper one. So Amy and Dan get a phone from Vesper one. Every time Amy and Dan get a text they have to do it or one of  their family members will die. 
     My reaction to this book is the characters because Amy and Dan are doing stuff so that their family members do not die.
    One question I have is why did vesper one capture some of the Cahill family?
    You should read this because it is awesome, epic and, interesting.

Flush

Flush By Carl Hiaasen

 Flush is a book by Carl Hiaasen and Carl is also the author of Hoot. when i first saw this book i thought the book was a children's book because the cover is childish. Flush is about the father of Noah (the son) sinking the Coral Queen a casino boat that belongs t a wealthy man named Dusty Muleman. Dusty dumps the hold tank of the Coral Queen into the water which was Illegal. Noahs dad gets caught and gets thrown into the county jail, Noahs dad needs help busting Dusty's crime of dumping the holding tank into water. Overall i like this book and i recommend this book to anyone. This book takes some time to get use to cause there's so many characters.

Cirque Du Freak- Hunters of the Dusk



The book that I read was Cirque Du Freak Hunters of the Dusk. This is the seventh book in the Cirque Du Freak series and  it was written by Darren Shan. The main characters name also happens to be the Authors name which is Darren Shan. In this book the vampire prince Darren Shan is once again visited by Desmond Tiny who is thought to have created vampires and little people. Desmond Tiny explains that the vampaneze prince has come and that the three hunters who are Mr.Crepsly, Darren Shan and the third they will find on the way must defeat him. They are told they will cross paths with the vampaneze lord four times and they will have chances to kill him at those times. They leave on their journey and consult Lady Evanna who has the ability to see into the future, but not as clearly as Mr.Tiny. On their journey they meet Vancha March a fiery vampire prince who fights with his bare hands and thinks the sun can be defeated. As they reach Lady Evanna's house they stay for a few days discussing plans. After they leave with Lady Evanna and they follow Darren's gut feeling and return to the Cirque Du Freak. Darren notices something was weird and finds out Evanna has been meeting with a group of vampaneze and he consults the others and they attack. One vampaneze escapes and a servant to the vampaneze. The vampaneze who escaped was Vancha's brother Gannen Harst. I would recommend this series to anybody who enjoys reading action packed novels and enjoys longer series. This is book recommended for teens as the fighting can be gruesome and comes in great detail.

I think Darren Shan could fit into real life because the book is set in real life. Also he is good at acting normal and vampires have been in hiding from humans for millenniums. Also Darren is a half-vampire so he can still go in daylight and blend in with normal day society. The only problem Darren could have is that since he is still underage and not attending school the school board could bring attention to him. The other characters in my book I feel could not fit in as well because they have certain traits about them that make them out of the ordinary. Such as the fact that Mr. Crepsley likes to sleep in coffins and does not go out in the day. Also that Vancha only wears animal skins and is constantly full bodied sun burned. Darren Shan changes from the beginning of the novel by becoming more vampiric adopting their traditions and learning their culture. Darren shows this change by becoming more feral and following his instincts.

The thing I learned from this novel is to expect the unexpected and you cant judge someone just off of their appearance.

Cirque Du Freak- Vampire Mountain


\
The book I read was Cirque Du Freak Vampire Mountain. This book was written by Darren Shan and it is the fourth in the Cirque Du Freak series. The main character shares the same name as the author and he is a half vampire and it had been 8 years since he had been blooded (turned into a vampire). Every 12 years a vampire meeting is called and all vampires have to report to a place called vampire mountain home to the vampire princes. Along the way they meet an old friend of Mr.Crepsley whose name is Gavner Purl who accompanies them the rest of the way. During the journey Darren runs into a bear that has been blooded by the vampaneze. The vampaneze are a sect that broke off from the vampires as they killed people who they drank from while the vampires did not. With help from two little people sent by Desmond Tiny and a pack of wolves Darren had befriended and they kill the bear. As they finally reach the mountain Darren meets a soon to be prince named Kurda Smahlt. The vampire princes decide that Mr.Crepsley had blooded Darren for no good reason so they put Darren to the test by making him pass the trials of initiation. I recommend this book to anybody who likes actual vampires not the Twilight ones and likes a book full of action and large plot twists. Also I would recommend this book only to people of teen age and older as it can be violent at times of conflict.


The Devouring



The Devouring

The second book i read is The Devouring by Simon Holt. This book was by far my favorite from the two. It is a series of 3 books. Not too many people know of this book or this series but Simon Holt is by far my favorite author. He writes about stories that have never been heard of, he creates different monsters to put in his book, rather then the usual vampire and werewolf.

This book is about a girl named Reggie. Who read a hand writing "diary" of a young women's life facing her brother that was turned into a Vour... (evil monsters that are attracted to light and heat, that feed on your fears and take over your body.) In this book Reggie finds out many strange things start happening to the town, and she decides to find out how she could possibly try to save and help those in trouble. There is a poem on the back of the book describing the Vours in a way.
When dark creeps in and eats the light,
Bury your fears on Sorry Night,
For in the winter's blackest hours,
Comes the feasting of the Vours,
No one can see it, the life they stole,
Your body's here but not your soul...

Reggie goes into peoples nightmares to save them from staying monsters. She goes on adventures
that are creepy. you need to read the book to find out how it all goes down.

This book would interest both girls and boys who enjoy a book that is horror but not to scary.
this series contains books called "The fearscape" and "Soulstice".
These are all Reggie's stories on how she helped every one. If you want to find out more
I suggest you read the books.

Vampire Diaries By Kelly 9-2



The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and the Struggle

I read a novel from the vampire diaries series written by L. J. Smith. This is the first book in the series. And it was published in 2007. All of the books from this series so far have been listed in the "New york times bestseller." This book series has been made into a TV-show that has been on TV for years now. With well known actors being part of the show.

This book is mainly about a girl Elena who is caught up in a love circle between Damian, and Stefan. She loves them both but has to chose between them. Damian and Stefan are both brothers, and are both vampires that need a ring to keep them from burning in the sun. In the book there is a lot of drama like, Stefan's brother coming back, having Elena want to be like them. And of coarse with all the mysterious killings by the cemetery in the forest, and in the school's gym. There are of coarse much more dramatic and action packed parts of this book, but if i say more it would be a complete spoil.

This book, i think, would be more enjoyed by girls who like reading about cheesy love stories and vampires. This book is full of drama, full of action and romance. If you like the twilight saga series, then you will love this much more!!

I would recommend this book because this book doesnt get boring it always be exciting.

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID



DIARY OF A WIMPY KIDBy:CHRIS PROWSE
   Diary of a wimpy kid is a graphic novel about a middle aged kid who basicly right about is life in this diary. I did not enjoy this book because it is not very exciting and no real intrest. This book is not good for people who are looking for a thrill book. Although I am  into this book doesn’t mean you will not.
        This book is a kid named Gregorys life. In this book it tlks about his life in school and his popularity level and his friends. Greg also talks a lot about his family because they are all not the most normal family.
        I do not recommend this book to people looking for a book to hold you on the edge, this book doesn’t use enough description as most books do wich is possibly the reason there are graphics. If you are just looking for a simple relaxing book that’s easy to read this is a good book that is obviously meant for the younger crowd.

THE HUNGER GAMES



THE HUNGER GAMES
By:CHRIS PROWSE

The hunger games is  a very thrilling novel. This book has its boring parts. I would recommend this book because it is a book that always gets you excited and always makes you want to read more. Now I don’t usually read books but this book got me hooked I have only read two series of  books one is the books Eragon the other is these  books. This book is definitely made for both genders, it has that thrill of the fights but also the sad or romantic parts with Katniss and Peeta.
This novel takes place in a place that use to be the states and now is 12 districts each district has its own duty. And every year an event called the hunger games takes place. This entire book is about two people from district 12 who get picked and go in the hunger games and fall in love and try to win the games together.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The hunger games is an intense action filled book, Katniss Everdeen lives in District 13, She has learnt to adapt to her surroundings by going out hunting in the forest. Her father taught her how to hunt and collect mushrooms, Her sister has a goat and sells its cheese and milk.

I would recommend this book because its awesome.

Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants By Dav Pilkey



This book is really entertaining, Its apart of a series, It all started with a hypnotist and ends with a underwear wearing super hero named Captain Underpants, He gets himself in a bit of a pickle this time and has to save the school before Professor Poopypants.
I would recommend this book because it is unusual and tames the child part of our minds.

This book is about Greg starting middle school with his  friend Rowley, They are both Very unpopular kids when Greg is trying to work his way up "the totem pole" of popularity by acting cool it does not work when Rowley acts silly and foolish.
Greg documents his life in the journal to show his everyday life experiences and tries to make his life seem not as bad as it actually is.

Personally i wouldn't continue reading the series of books because to me they are uninteresting  and not very funny and have a very bad scene of humor 

i think this book was not for me and a there are better books in the library to take out instead of wasting your time with this                                                                   childish novel
