Took: A Ghost Story
By Mary Downing Hahn
I think this book is fair because it’s suspenseful. The main character, Daniel, has just moved to West Virginia with his family. Daniel and his little sister, Erica, suspect something suspicious around their house and they feel like someone’s always watching them. Old Auntie, an evil witch that lives nearby, spies on them. She plans to take Erica and use her as a servant for 50 years and then let her go, like she did for other girls. Daniel’s family doesn’t believe in Old Auntie, but everybody in their town says that she’s real. Old Auntie lured Erica into her cabin through a doll that Erica always talks to about Old Auntie, although nobody else can hear it. Daniel and Erica go into the woods, where Old Auntie lives because they were searching for Erica’s doll. Erica runs away because Daniel was being mean to her, and then later gets taken by Old Auntie. Daniel goes to one of Old Auntie’s descendants, who wanted to help him, and learns the only way to get his sister back. Daniel learns that Old Auntie is real when he confronts her, and takes her sister back and runs home. I think that this book could be better, because the end isn’t interesting. In the resolution, Daniel gets his sister back and Old Auntie is destroyed. If Old Auntie was still chasing after Daniel, the story could be more interesting if everybody saw Old Auntie, especially Daniel’s parents. Also, if the story didn’t end the way Daniel wanted it to end, it wouldn’t be as boring. It’s almost like a fairy tale, because it ends happily and it has an unrealistic character in it. I think that this book would have a good cliffhanger which would be able to start another book, but the author ended it in a way that makes readers not think or wonder about the book at all afterwards.

Fahrenheit 451
By Ray D Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451 was written over 60 years ago by Ray Bradbury which makes it even more impressive how well it has stood the test of time being relatable to the age we're living in today. But basically, the government has enlisted the help of "firefighters" whose job is actually to do just the opposite. Burn all of the books and the homes that house them. Guy Montag, is one such firefighter who meets a very odd peculiar girl named Clarisse. They actually become great friends despite their very distinct lifestyle differences. Clarisse asks very interpersonal, even intimate questions at times which starts causing Guy Montag to ask questions about his own life. As I went on, I was pleasantly surprised. It is one of those books that you could read time and time again and notice something new each and every time. Faber has to be one of my favorite characters. From what I’ve read, he has no ulterior motive and seems fully focused on preserving literature in such a broken world. My image of Faber actually lies in the basis of the kind, very wise grandfather figure many people have in their lives. Someone who has seen it all done it all for you to confide in. I really see this at work assessing Guy Montag’s attachment to Faber. At the moment, Montag is desperately trying to reach Faber with a crippled body that was a result of a standoff with Captain Beatty that actually resulted in his death! Now, Montag on the run makes it to Faber's home is able to throw his scent off in order to escape from the hound, an automaton robot dog that is described with spider legs and a needle housed in its neck that kills upon contact. Montag ends up with a group of homeless folk who protect the memory of literature in their heads. Each one of them has memorized a piece of literature they believed needed to be reserved. What you don't really take note of during all of the action of Montag escaping from the authorities and the dreadful hound is that in the midst of all of this, a war has begun. However, set in the future, we forget that war has a totally different meaning. War meant weapons of mass destruction which therefore means massive collateral damage. In the aftermath of a nuclear attack that leveled the city, Bradbury describes the legend of the Phoenix dying and rising from the ashes. Similar to the Phoneix, humanity would rise again from the ashes of destruction again and again and again. All in all, Fahrenheit 451 is a thought provking, moving story that I highly, highly reccomend!
The Lost Heir (Wings of Fire Graphic Novel 2): A Graphix Book
By Tui T. Sutherland
Another amazing Wings of Fire graphic novel from author Tui T. Sutherland and illustrator Mike Holmes! This book was a spectacular addition to the bestselling series, and I really enjoyed it. Wings of Fans, get ready to see the world of Pyrrhia through a whole new look—get ready to find great illustrations, cool characters, and of course, lots of adventure! Summary: After Clay, Tsunami, Glory, Starflight, and Sunny escaped from the clutches of Queen Scarlet, an evil dragon who would do anything to kill them, they have found their next destination—the ocean, which is also home to Tsunami’s dragon tribe, the SeaWings. They recently found out that the ruler of the SeaWings is Queen Coral, Tsunami’s mother, which means she’s the lost heir—the missing princess—right from the scrolls she’s read and fantasized about for her whole life. Prepared to dive under the ocean and see what lies below, she’s completely ready to meet her mother and the royal family. But the SeaWings aren’t as placid as they look—they’re completely different from what Tsunami expected. In just a few days, she finds herself overwhelmed by these dragons’ lifestyle, loyalties, and secrets. But there’s one thing she’s sure of: there is danger in Queen Coral’s Palace—and she—Tsunami, the brave, bossy, impulsive dragon who always runs headlong into battle to protect her friends—must stop it. Can she find out what the danger is? Or will it be too late? Read this book to find out! Overall, I though this book was phenomenal, and I rate it 5/5 stars. I recommend it for readers who are always craving a good book, or like Wings of Fire!
