Hi, I'm reading Warriors Sign Of The Moon. So far Jay-Feather had a dream in which Rock an ancient cat told him to go to the Mountains. Fire-star chose Squirrel-flight, Dove-Wing, and Fox-leap to go to. Now she was on a border patrol. She saw Eagles. They tried to carry a cat for their prey but they missed. Jayfeather traveled back in time as Jays Wing. Since he told the cats in the past about the mountains, they started blaming him for bringing them to this harsh place. Lion-Blaze on the other paw fought a dog that tried to attack him. Bumblestripe was the first to see it because he secretly brought his sister out of camp. She isn't allowed to leave the medicine cat den because a tree fell on her and left her crippled. Her backbone was broken so she has to drag herself everywhere.

This is written by James Patterson and is about a group of kids who have to save the world and can fly. The group also has their each abilities and have to evade crazy multi-trillionares. There are more books before this so read them first if you want to read this. By the way Angel is 6 and can read and control minds. Great balance of power!

He tried to look for Ziah his crush but couldn't find her. Walt walked in and Carter changed the image to Sadie's flat.

Cali The Maze Runner #challenge

2015-02-23 20:20:25 UTC

I'm reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner! I accidentally watched the movie before I read the book, so I already know what's going to happen. Right now I'm on page 32 and Thomas is in the Glade. How all of these people get stuck in the maze is (because I watched the movie) a box comes up to the Glade every month with some supplies and a new person. The reason Thomas is sent to the maze is (remember, no one can remember anything but their name) the Sun scorched the world, and then an incurable, killing disease in the brain set in and killed everybody BUT the next generation because they had something in them. They are now testing the teens. Chuck and Thomas just got done playing a trick on Galley, and then Galley got really mad because he acts like the leader but he's not, so it made him look bad. Also, every night (including this one in the story) the gates close. In the maze, there are Greivers, which sting you, and then you usually just die because you go crazy. Every night, the maze shifts around so the teens can't find a way out. (That's what the runners are for). This is one of my favorite books!!!

Hina #insight - Fourth Grade Fuss

I am reading Fourth Grade Fuss by Johanna Hurwitz. I got it from Todd's Five Book Friday.

It is about Mrs. Schraalenburgh's fourth grade class. The main characters are Julio and Lucas. In fourth grade at their school, they start taking standardized state tests. One for math, one for Language Arts. This story is about their year of fourth grade, the preparations for the tests, their lives at home, and everything in between.
