Sabotaged

I like how the author tells a lot of details about the characters in the book. The characters can go back in time as long as they are holding on to their dog's collar. Some kids in the book have got lost in time, and the kids have to come and get them. Some of the characters in the book are from the future. Those kids have to get back to their proper timeline, or they can't go back. In my opinion, the characters are really cool. The main characters are time travelers themselves. They are brother and sister. I was surprised when the author told me that some of the kids went back to London, 1483. Two kids get lost in time that day. I'm not finished yet, but so far, it is a good book.

The Field of The Dogs





The Field of the Dogs
By: Kathrine Patterson

In the book the field of the dog Josh's dog, Manch  and Ace got hurt by one of the river gang members.  I felt sad.  Ace got hit by a snowplow and Manch got bit by the river gang.  Ace has to get put down.  Josh was going to shoot a dog I don't think he should shoot it when he shot he missed.  The gun he had he took from his stepfather if he didn't return it he would get in so much trouble.

In the book it's about a girl and and a boy named Florida and Dallas.   The story's main characters are Florida,Dallas,there mom and dad who are kind of old,and they have a lot of rules.  And every time they break a rule they have to wear shirts that says iv'e been naughty and sit in a corner in there basement.  Dallas and Florida mostly every day have to go to other people's houses because the people are either wanting to have children as slaves or they want kids to do all there work at their house.  But right now in the story one person wanted them to come to there house and like always they were scared and mad because they new they would have to do work.  But the next morning they figured out that they had to work but not as much as they would of had to if they were with their other owners!  But this time they got payed $5 an hour,and there job was to fix a ship.  That's whats happening in the book so far. 


Scorpia

Scorpia  
by Anthony Horowitz

The book Scorpia is about a terrorist group called  Scorpia in my opinion the book starts like this the terrorist group put a lot of people of their jobs the mane character is a spy there in a block off room that is guarded by people. Then I thought that he would get fond but he is a really good spy it is a very good book but this guy goes on a boat it had the most dangers scorpion in the world the guy would not stop screaming this book reminded me that of the book ''The Time Warp Trio'' because they both have a good guy and a bad guy. I think the author made guy on the boat die it was weird. I think the story is in first person.        

Emerald Atlas

              The Emerald Atlas
I think the book was very interesting it started out very mysteriously first a man that looked very worn came to the door of Kate's parents house and told them something would happen to their kids.  Then he raced away full speed and jumped over a lake the figures plunged in the lake.  A women that owned a orphanage took Kate, Michael,and Emma into the orfanage and took care of them they kept switching orphanages

           OK so there was a attack and fire balls were falling from the sky and the Olympians took off just in time. People said its like dodge the fireball. It was horrible they were houses on fire. The Olympians went to a building and hid. I can relate to this because I had a dream like this because fireballs were falling from the sky it was so scary.

Boys Without Names By Kashmira Sheth They were still on the train and when Gopal got up someone took his seat. Gopal then complains that he was already sitting there. The man says your fault. Then the train conductor comes in the room and asks whats wrong. When the train conductor came in the room I thought Gopal and his family would be kicked of the train. But what actually happened was he made Gopal and the man share a seat. That wasn't what i exactly thought but at least they didn't get kicked off. Later the man got up from his seat to open a window Gopal whispered to Neran i'm gonna take his seat Neran said no. I would've taken the seat but he didnt't. The man sat back down and said its locked see how i unlocked it? Gopal said yea.  But i wondered why he asked Gopal see how i unlocked it. At that moment i thought he was gonna escape. Later the man asked Gopal if he wanted to play cards. I have an connection with that because my mom and I were on a train when I was little we played cards.

The main characters are Maya and Morgan. These characters are my favorite because they are really kind to each other and they are wonderful friends. That is why I like them.  Mayas grand mother found a box in Mayas room and there were horses in the box and Maya thought she did not like horses. She try's to stop her from opening the box but she was to late. I was surprised when she was not able to to stop her grandmother but she opened it and Mayas grandmother said why were you hiding this from me? Maya said because you do not like horses. her grandmother said it is not me who has a problem with horses that was your mother that had a problem with horses.  Maya did not know that. Maya and I are alike because we both like horses.

      I am reading a book called Spy School.  It is about a boy named Benjamin.Benjamin has been chosen to go to a school for spies.  It was very startling when he got there because he was being attacked.  I think it was weird because Benjamin has a crush on his attacker.  The girl's name is Erica.
The school is very old and has prehistoric bathrooms.  I predict he might not survive the the whole year.  What do think?
