New Book

So I'm at the library pouring through fantasy literature. I've come across The Seeing Stone by Kevin Crossley-Holland. I also found The City of Beasts by Isabel Allende. I've read a lot of her works for adults and am a fan. This book might be more adventure than fantasy, but it has some elements of fantasy. The last option is The Singer of All Songs by Kate Constable. Have you read any of these books?

Go to http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ and search each book. Read about the books and the reviews. Comment on this post and let me know which book you prefer. Meanwhile, I am going to start reading both of them and see if I can get a feel for which is the better read.

  2. hey Rachel this is my story: Sarah my best friend was just finishing her last purple nail before we went to the pool. My mother said that we had to invite Tomas even though he is a dork. Paul the cute surfer dude was on break so we just jumped right in we were having a blast. When Paul came out he yelled at us because we were not allowed to go swimming unless an adult was there. Being insulted by his words we went to the out door pool many people say never keep the rich waiting. We had a good time until it was time to eat lunch, we had Mac and cheese with some root beer. It was so good with the creamy cheese and the orangey noodles. After we had finished of the last of the noodles, we decided to watch a movie in the home theater and since nobody besides Tomas and father know how to work it we had to invite the little choppy freak, we decided to watch Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. The movie was going great my favorite movie in the world we were at the part were the little race car transformer dude was humping the girls leg we were laughing and having a blast until we heard gun shots we all panicked especially Tomas he was freaking out all he could do was panic and he totally froze nothing smart was going trough his brain. Being stupid and all Tomas forgot to turn off all the electronics so when the robbers came in he knew that we were in there and when he found us
    “Where is the safe” he yelled well let’s just calling him BG # 1
    “Shoot us now we will never tell you” yelled Tomas
    Poor Tomas he got us all killed, I would have just told the freak I mean we have a million digit combos, so when he finally got to the safe I would have been in the DFS (danger free safe). Than as soon as we enter the DFS it would call the police. We would still be breathing and living if Tomas just keep his mouth shut. But now we are now dead and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. You know what is really weird is that when we did you know died we went down, just falling not in any way just falling until we landed on this platform were only one could fit so when Tomas landed on it he held us with his hands.
    When the platform started to move slowly Tomas lost balance and almost fell off but he caught himself he pull us up so we made it before the little opening closed. When the opening closed completely closed, the light turned on and there was little robot that asked for our name number and our age.

    My name is top secret nobody knows except me and 1 or 2 other people but you can call me bubbles. After we gave all of all my information we got assigned to worlds Tomas and I got EDS world because we were related and Sarah got WDS world. I would never see Sarah for the rest of my life, my eyed were welling up I would miss her.
