The book Black Brother Black Brother was written by Jewell Parker Rhodes. It is a fiction book. The story takes place in the neighborhood, where Donte faces him being treated unfairly. Donte is black and gets treated unfairly, but his brother is white and gets treated so much differently. How they solve this problem is they finally give Dante a chance to play on the fencing team and something ineradicable happens .In the book the dad says to the white son "how did you loose to your brother." I would recommend this to a friend because it's so exciting that you don't know what is going to happen next. I would say that the authors craft is mood because it is so suspenseful that it really gets you thinking on what is going to happen next.

The book Out of My Dreams was written by Sharon M. Draper. It is a contemporary fiction book.

This story takes place in London, where Melody faces a problem of feeling like she doesn't fit in. Then she got tickets to a concert and they said the stadium wasn't wheelchair accessible. Which made her feel even worse about not fitting in because she couldn't even get into a concert because of her wheelchair. Throughout the story, Melody tries to fix this by going to a place where there are many kids that have the same thought process as her. Which is good for her so she can feel what it's like to talk to people that might feel the same way as her. Along the way she meets so many people that help one person is a girl named Sky. She helped Melody because she always wanted the best for her and tried to help her get through all of the challenges she had faced. She understood Melody and she did so many fun activities while they were in London. The story is resolved by Melody finally finding her voice and giving the speech she wanted to give. Which is great because at first she didn't want to go up in front of her peers and talk on a talking device.

One author's craft Sharon M. Draper uses is anecdote one example from the book is, " I was sitting in my wheelchair looking across the street at Mrs Gertie's house when I saw her out checking her roses. she lost her balance and fell lying motionless on the walkway I tried to shout for help ,but my grandson squeals went unheard. then I remembered what I'd learned about calling 911." This shows Melody's thinking and even though she has CP she can still call the cops thanks to her talking device. Also this shows anecdote because it was an interesting story

I think this book was interesting because it is crazy how people that are like Melody get treated this way and I think it is horrible. I would recommend this book especially if you are interested in the disability that Melody has.

The authors craft would be hyperbole because the author give a lot off funny exaggeration when she writes.

The book Muhammad Najem War Reporter was written by Muhammad Najem and Nora Neus. The story takes place in Syria where Muhammad Najem faces airstrikes and great loss of friends and family. Along the way Muhammad starts reporting about the war. In the end he and his family move away to safety and he keeps on reporting. I think this book was a mix of happy, sad, excited, worried, and many other emotions I can't name because so much happened and you really see what Muhammad is facing. I really liked this book and I would recommend it to others because it is a type of book that gets you thinking.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.ZMU56As0
The type of authors craft is mood because it makes you feel a certain way. A quote from the book is "Baba! Baba!". That is when Muhammad's parrot is calling the dad's name because he loves the dad and does not want to be left behind during the air strikes. This makes me feel sad because the parrot gets left behind and I don't want that to happen but it does and it makes me sad.

One technique Lindsay Currie used was a hyperbole. In my book, "Best. Halloween. Ever." This technique affects the reader by showing that the character feels a strong way about something, and enjoys it. Another phrase Lindsay Currie used was, "Worst Halloween ever." This also affected the reader by showing that the character really didn't like something, and that they feel strongly about something. They used the quotes at the beginning, and end of the book. You can see that throughout the book, the perspective of the character really changed. It shows that you should always give something, or someone a try, and you may like it in the end. It may be a scary experience, or difficult, but that doesn't mean that you should give up.

The book It's Watching was written by Lindsay Currie. It is a Horror book. The story takes place in Josie's house, and Bachelors Grove, where Josie faces an issue where she goes to a graveyard, and ever since she came back from there, nothing has been the same.

Throughout the story, Josie tries to make a grave for someone whose grave got stolen. She thinks that it will make the ghost stop haunting her. Along the way, she meets up with her friends, Jackson, Allison, and meets someone new, Janessa who helps her. In the end, the story is resolved by Josie doing lots of research, and figuring out which ghost they are dealing with. They try to make a grave for that ghost, which they had done before just for a different ghost. Will it work, or will there countdown end? (After they went to the graveyard, they got a countdown. At midnight of that night where they made a second grave, is when it would end).

I think this book was truly exciting, scary, and it always left you on the edge of your seat. I would one-hundred percent recommend this book to others because of all the scariness, and the way that it just makes you want to keep reading. I really liked how this book was about a trio of friends, Josie, Allison, and Jackson. They all write articles for their school newspaper. The only reason that they go to the graveyard in the first place, is to try and capture a picture of a famous legend, "The Lady in White." They want to write an article about it. There also was a "picture" of the famous legend online. But, many doubt that it is real. When they come back, Josie's house becomes really weird, and their power goes out, but not one of the computers. Josie, Allison, and Jackson try to solve the mystery, and to finish before the countdown.

The book The Lighting was written by Rick Riordan. It is a fictional book. The story takes place in New York, where Percy Jackson is the main character and faces demons and monsters to get to the underworld.

Throughout the story, Percy tries to overcome monsters. Along the way, one of his least favorite teachers turns into a demon. Another one of his favorite teacher rolls him a pen that turns into a sword which he can use for battles. Then, Percy finds a camp and meets friends and they go on an adventure. They fight and encounter many monsters along on the way. At one point, Percy says "This is the biggest battle I've ever had in my whole life!" In the end, Percy defeated the monsters and continued on with his journey to the underworld.

I think this book was good because there was a lot of action and excitement. I would recommend this book to others because you don't know what's going to happen next and it is keeps you interested.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.ZMU56As0
This is the biggest battle I've ever had in my whole life! this a Hyperbole. I think the mood for this story is mystery. I know this because the book will surprise you like when Percy was just talking with his friends and then a monster jumped on his back. It is a mystery because they were trying to find where they hid Zeus's lightning bolt.

The book Impossible Creatures was written by Katherine Rundell. It is a fantasy novel that includes myth, magic and adventure.

The story takes place in the Archipelago, a place where mythical creatures exist. Christopher Forrester begins his magical adventure after saving a drowning baby griffin. He meets Mal, a courageous girl capable of fight. Along their quest to restore the fading magic of the glimourie, they encounter a variety of creatures and allies who either assist or challenge them.

The story ends with a resolution that balances closure with the promise of future adventures.

I absolutely think that this book is amazing. Every chapter keeps you engaged and wanting to know what will happen next. I couldn't wait to read the end and I am wondering if it will be a second book. I would recommend this book to everyone.

The Blood of Olympus is by Rick Riordan. It follows Greek and Roman mythology. The story takes place in Greece and back at Camp Half-Blood towards the end, where Percy and his friends try to stop Gaea from waking but she wakes.

Throughout the story, a few of the demigods split up and go on a quest to rescue the Athena Parthenos and get it back to Camp Half-Blood. The main quest involves the rest of the demigods fighting the giants along their demigod children. They defeat the giants and Zeus slaps the demigods halfway across the world to Camp Half-Blood where Gaea has woken from a nose bleed. They fight Gaea and win, but at a steep cost. The cost was Leo Valdez.

Here is a way more detailed summary. . . .

Seven travel aboard the Argo II to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, to try to stop the ceremony to wake Gaea and overthrow the Olympians. These seven are Piper, Percy, and Annabeth, who are Greek, and Frank, Hazel, and Jason, who are Roman (though Jason is does not know which camp he belongs in). The second quest, led by Roman praetor Reyna—accompanied by Nico and Coach Hedge—is to deliver the Athena Partenos statue to Camp Half-Blood as a peace offering from the Romans to the Greeks. In Reyna’s absence, Octavian, the Roman augur at Camp Jupiter, seizes power and plans to attack Camp Half-Blood. They must make it back in time to save Camp Half-Blood and heal the rift between the Greeks and the Romans. They arrive in Ithaca to gather information about the obstacles ahead. There, spirits, monsters, and mortals allied with Gaea overrun the palace of Odysseus. Jason confronts his mother, who abandoned him and has become a mania, and wards her off but is injured. After the group fights their way out of Ithaca, Juno advises them to visit Nike in Olympia and Apollo and Artemis on Delos. On the way, Leo ponders how to return to Calypso on her island, Ogygia. In Olympia, they capture Nike, the goddess of victory, who warns that one of them will die battling Gaea—and the physician’s cure won’t save them. Next, they stop at the port of Pylos, where Frank’s ancestors provide the poison to brew the physician’s cure, advising him to seek a statue of Ares in Sparta. Annabeth and Piper confront the statue, which radiates and amplifies fear. The inability to use reason overwhelms Annabeth, but Piper embraces and overcomes her emotions. She connects with her divine brothers, Fear and Panic (children of Ares and Aphrodite), delivering herself and Annabeth to safety. On route to Delos, the Argo II is battered by a ferocious storm. Percy and Jason investigate the ocean’s depths for the cause, Jason encasing himself in a storm spirit; they discover that the goddess Kymopoleia conjured the storm on Gaea’s behalf. Jason convinces her to switch sides by promising to build temples and shrines in her honor. She advises him to remember how the god Ouranos was overcome. On Delos, Leo leads the search for Apollo and Artemis, with Hazel and Frank’s help. Leo has spoken with Nike and wants Apollo’s opinion on an idea. While conversing with Apollo, Nico invents a musical instrument that he offers the god of music in exchange for the physician’s cure. Apollo provides a necessary ingredient and sends the demigods to Asclepius, as only he can brew the potion. Piper, Jason, and Leo lead the mission, and Piper uses charmspeak to convince the physician, who is reluctant, having been severely punished for previously using it. After they obtain the cure, Leo—aiming to ensure that the war with Gaea and her monstrous forces ends—pretends to give it to Piper for safekeeping but instead hides it in the ventilator line of the Argo II engine. In Athens, the city’s founder and first king, Kekrops, a part man and part snake gemini, promises the demigods safe passage through his underground lair, but Piper charmspeaks him into revealing that his promise is a trap. Using her voice, she controls him, and he takes her, Annabeth, and Jason safely to the Acropolis. Frank transforms into a swarm of bees and arrives by air, and the others arrive later in the Argo II. In the fight with Gaea’s monsters, Annabeth is injured, and Percy gets a bloody nose. When their blood—the blood of Olympus—hits the stones of the Parthenon, Gaea wakes. The gods descend from Olympus to join the battle, fighting alongside their demigod children to defeat the giants, but they still must contend with Gaea’s awakening. Zeus sends the demigods on the Argo II back to Camp Half-Blood. The parallel quest of Reyna, Nico, and Coach Hedge to deliver the Athena Parthenos from Rome to Greece begins in Pompeii. Nico transports them with his ability to travel long distances through shadows, but shadow-traveling takes a toll, threatening to turn him into a shadow himself. Reyna lends him her power, thus gaining insight into his loneliness and pain, and grows increasingly protective of him. While they rest, waiting for darkness to make their next shadow-jump, Reyna has a nightmare about Octavian preparing to march on Camp Half-Blood. That night, the ghosts of Pompeii attack, but the demigods defeat them and make their next jump. They land in Portugal, where Hades appears to Nico, warning him that Gaea’s hunter Orion has been sent to kill them—and that they can’t defeat him; they must outrun him. As they wait anxiously for nightfall, the werewolf Lycaon, Orion’s assistant, arrives with his wolves. Nico stabs him, using his melting shadow to shadow-travel the group and statue to safety. They land on a cruise ship and then in Reyna’s home of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the Hunters of Artemis abduct her and take her to the Amazon queen Hylla, her sister. The Hunters and Amazons, working together to destroy Orion, redirected Nico’s jump to lure Orion to them. He attacks and kills many Amazons, destroying their headquarters, but Reyna, Nico, and Hedge escape with the statue. Nico shadow-jumps them to Buford, South Carolina. He asks Reyna about her past, and she reveals that her mother, Bellona, a Roman war goddess, was her family’s patron for generations. She and Reyna’s father, a soldier, fell in love, but her father, obsessed with war, became a mania because of post-traumatic stress disorder and physical wounds from serving in Iraq. Reyna tearfully admits that she accidentally killed her father one night after he attacked Hylla. Nico insists that Reyna is innocent, since her father was already a wraith, but the Romans consider fratricide a grave crime; if they knew what she’d done, they’d execute her. As she makes her confession, Roman legionnaire Bryce Lawrence appears, arresting her. Bryce’s cruelty enrages Nico, and he destroys him, unsettling Reyna and Hedge. Exhausted after killing Bryce, Nico falls into a shadow coma for three days, almost becoming a ghost. He’s surprised that Reyna and Hedge nurse him to health, thinking his actions must have repulsed them, but they reiterate that he’s their friend. Nico can’t survive another jump, however, and Hedge has arranged for winged horses to transport them and the statue back to Camp Half-Blood. When they arrive, the Roman attack is imminent, but not all the Romans agree with Octavian’s actions. Reyna sends Nico and Hedge back to camp to help the sympathetic Romans sabotage Roman weapons. Orion finds Reyna, but she kills him with the help of the Athena Parthenos and her mother, Bellona. Nico connects with Greek demigod Will to conduct the sabotage operations, but Octavian catches them. As he orders the Roman forces to attack, Reyna flies in with the statue and urges the Greeks and Romans to join forces to fight Gaea, who is now awake and rising from the earth. The two quests converge during the war at Camp Half-Blood as the demigods on the Argo II arrive and join the fight. Leo flies his bronze dragon Festus, whom he has restored, into battle. The dragon grabs Gaea, lifting her off the earth, the source of her strength, and Piper charmspeaks Gaea back to sleep. As Leo sends Jason and Piper away so that he can vaporize Gaea without harming them, Octavian fires his onager, unaware that his robes are tangled in the trigger, and is launched into the sky in a fireball that collides with Festus. Gaea has been destroyed, but so has Leo. The Roman and Greek camps mourn together as they fought together. The demigods blame themselves for Leo taking on the dangerous plan. Leo programmed Festus to inject him with the physician’s cure. Leo finds his way back to Ogygia, and he and Calypso ride Festus away from the island.

I noticed that Rick Riordan emphasized the mood of the story by making the readers feel good after a triumphant win in a battle, only to realize the Earth Mother already woke. That was on page 453.

I think this book was action packed and overly tense and suspenseful because it was the last book in the Heroes of Olympus series and it all came down to this. I would most definitely recommend this book to others because it is so action packed and it came down to the wire with an unreal ending.

I think the authors craft that Rick Riordan used really emphasized on getting the characters feelings down to the reader and using very descriptive word choices to express their feelings. That author's craft is what I would describe as language. Riordan really painted vivid pictures using those engaging verbs. Riordan uses great verbs and expressing nouns to really get my attention and paint a better, more vivid picture in my mind. On page 379, the text stated "Jason knew that unbearable feeling all too well, he had just been back-stabbed." Riordan uses those vivid words such as unbearable and back-stabbed. Using those more vivid and better verbs really helped paint a lot better picture in my mind on what was happening in that scene, getting me to understand what was going on a lot better.

Authors craft:

Mood: Mood means the emotions that the reader of this book is feeling.

This makes the story more engaging because you will feel like you are actually in the book! You will also probably feel the same emotion that the character is going through.
