Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!

Finnikin of the Rock

There are the five days of the unspeakable, the three older daughters of the king and queen are slaughtered, Balthazar (next in line to be king) is slaughtered, the queen is slaughtered and so is the king. The baby Isoboe is also found dead, or so they think.
It has been ten years since the five days of the unspeakable and no body can get in, and no body can get out if they were there during Seronna's curse. This story is about Finnikin of the Rock leading his people of Lumature back to their home. Sir Tropher (the King's first man) and Finnikin (the son of the captain of the guards) make their way to the woman who believes in gods. A child, the same age as Finnikin is given to them, and she has made a vow of silence.
Evanynjin creates a large and exciting story by being correct and walking the sleep of those inside Lumature. The imposter King is killing all ofthe young girls and Evanyjin is feeling their every death and it is taking the breath out of her.
Finnikin must believe in Evalynjin and more importantly, himself.

I believe that everybody should read this book because it teaches you to trust one another and then you will see the better side of life!

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come fron behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

The Book of Lies

The book of Lies is about 4 orphans, Robert (Marcel), Nichole (Catherine), Fergus and Bea. These orphans have had names created for them, by the Book of Lies. Robert has had a name created by a book. 4 hooded strangers arrived at the door of Mrs Finnigus. She collects the boy and the hooded figures leave. Lord Awayn places the Book of Lies in front of the sleeping child so that he does not remember who he is, or where he came from. Nichole has had the same thing happen to her but she arrives a few days before. Robert finds his true name from Bea and then his whole life falls into place. Princess Catherine, Prince Marcel, Prince Fergus and Granddaughter of the Elvish-King Long Beard, are all tied together in one story. How will they find out the truth? Who will tell them? Why is Prince Marcel afraid of a large, savage looking-cat called Temptus? Has this got anything to do with King Pelham and Lord Awayn? Is the horse called 'Wild Beast' have a connection with the Book of Lies as she can grow wings? All of these answers come from the Book of Lies and its creater!

The Golden Compass

The Golden Compass is about a young girl by the name of Lyra and her daemon Pan. These two adventurous pair has been caught in a world with magic, and Polar Bears. Lyra meets a bear named Iorek. Lyra has tricked the King of bears, Ifour Raknison into believing that she is a daemon. Iorek defeats Ifour and becomes the King of the Bears. Lyra has a device, called the Golden Compass. It is a truth-teller or an alethiometer. This is a wonderful book and Philip Pullman had constructed it well. I believe that everyone should read it!

2010

I cannot believe it! It is 2010 and I am in grade 8. It seemed like it was only yesterday, when I started year 7!
