Summary: Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O’Keefe meet in the woods near a haunted house and become friends. Calvin is a sports player and is not cared about by his family. Meg has the most challenging part in the book, nobody likes her at school. She has a lot of faults like being stubborn and impatient. Charles can tell what you are thinking without you even saying anything. He is also really smart and knows a lot of definitions of words.

Then in the haunted house they meet Mrs. Who, Mrs. Witch and Mrs. Whatsit who whisked them away on a dangerous mission to find Meg’s father and stop an evil force that is trying to take over a planet.

                My thoughts: I really like the book. I think that this is an exciting book where there are different creatures. They have this thing called tesseract where you can move through dimensions and places. It is a book I would recommend for kids 9+ because it can be sort of confusing and it made me feel edgy. It also has some scary parts (though no one dies).

I can relate to Meg, she feels like no one understands her and I feel the same way about myself. I really like that the book has weird and unusual things that do not happen in the real world. It was unusual when Mrs. Whatsit turns into a flying centaur. This book has a lot of talking but not much action unlike The Ranger’s Apprentice.

A good Quote is “There is such thing a tesseract my pet."

Summary: Percy Jackson has just found out he has a brother, a Cyclopes! His name is Tyson and he is very strong. He is a very good metal worker. He also loves Percy. Well camp Half – Blood is under attack! The borders are failing. They are failing because someone poisoned Talia's tree. Talia's tree helps protect the borders of camp Half – Blood witch keep monsters out. Well from the first book (if you read it) you know Clarisse. She got a mission to the Sea of Monsters and Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson snuck out of camp and joined Clarisse on her mission.

 
What I thought About the Book: I liked it because it had parts where they got lost and then they work their way back together. There was parts of scariness and funny. My favorite charter was Tyson. He was strong and a good metal worker. We both like to help others. It made me feel like frustrated because at some parts of the book like at the end the characters were frustrated, (I like to feel like the characters). It was a very cool book though it wasn't my favorite. Hoped you liked my summary, bye!

Percy Jackson is a powerful half – blood that gets a quest to the underworld to get the lightning bolt and to save his mother. His friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood accompany Percy on his quest.  Since Percy is a half – blood he is half human half god. His dad (which is a god) Poseidon is the ruler of the water. So naturally Percy is the son of the sea god. Annabeth is a daughter of Athena goddess of wisdom and battle is a good fighter so you might want to watch your back! Then there is Grover the satyr is a good friend.

I liked it because it has lots of action and fighting, magic and all of that other stuff. It was kind of funny and scary because it has a lot of funny jokes and a lot of violence.  At a lot of points at the book it made me think, “I wonder what’s going on next”, or something like that. My favorite character is Annabeth because she can fight well and she is smart like me.

A pretty funny quote is “I realized I hadn’t eaten anything unhealthy since I arrived at half – blood hill, where we lived on grapes, bread, cheese and extra- lean- cut nymph prepared barbecue. What this boy needed was a double cheese burger."   Another one is “What type of camp has an armory?”
