Julie of the Wolves

 Julie of the Wolves 

Julie of the Wolves is about an eskimo who ran away from her home, her husband, and her friends because her husband was being a total jerk. She meets up with a pack of wolves and slowly, they start to accept her as one of their own pups. But as the year moves on, the wolves need to move to where there is more food. Julie knows that she can't move as fast as the wolves, but she needs them to survive. Should she attempt to stay with them, or use her own knowledge and become a lone wolf? This book was written by Jean Craighead George. I would rate this a 3 1/2 out of five stars because it was lacking the interest that I like, and it was too short for me, but other than that it was a pretty good book.  My favorite character was the head wolf. He was brave and was one of the first wolves to accept Julie. He fought for her too. I would recommend this book for people who like outdoorsie, animal-like books. Have fun reading!

Pandora Gets Jealous

 Pandora Gets Jealous



Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena, her friends call her Pandy, has always been too curious. When she has Show-And-Tell at her school, she knows that she can't show her dad's liver in a jar (again). So when she finds a mysterious box, she has to take it. It accidentally, ACCIDENTALLY, gets opened at school, and she releases 7 evils into the world. She and her family are brought before the gods, and is sent on a quest to collect all of the evils all over the world in 6 months. If not, she will become the most unpopular maiden in all of Athens. This book was written by Carolyn Hennesy. I would rate this a 5 out of 5 stars. It was funny and that's pretty much it, but it also had some great characters who stuck together and really made this book better. My favorite character was Alcie. She was the funniest character because when the box gets opened, she ends up with two left feet and she spews random, funny sayings, words, and phrases throughout the story. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the Percy Jackson series. Have fun reading!

The Shadow Crosser

 The Shadow Crosser

This is the third and final book of Zane's journey in the Mayan god world. Zane is traveling the world with a demon to find the rest of the godborns. When he reaches the final godborn it turns out to be two, and they are protecting something from falling into the wrong hands. When Zane gets back to his training at SHIHOM, the gods have been captured, and Zane has to go on an epic journey to rescue them, protect the secret object, keep the godborns safe, and defeat the bad guys. With a little help from Brooks, the twins, Ren, and Hondo. This book was written by JC Cervantes. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It had a great plot, some funny characters, suspense, and action. My favorite character was Alana, one of the twins. She has a really cool power and was a smart character that pushed the plot forwards. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the Percy Jackson series, The Lost Hero, or the earlier books in the trilogy. Have fun reading!

The Lost Hero

 The Lost Hero




Jason wakes up on a bus on day with a girl, Piper, he doesn't know and a boy, Leo, who claims to be best friends with. The three get taken to Camp Half Blood, and get claimed by by their godly parents. They need to rescue Piper's father and save Hera, the queen of the gods, in four days, without getting killed. They face metal dragons, cyclopes, angry wind spirits, and an evil woman who uses magic to trap them and harm them. Can they rescue Piper's father and Hera in time? This book was written by Rick Riordan. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was funny, and full of action and suspense, but for some reason, I just didn't really like it which is really funny because I love these Greek and Roman (and even Mayan) god stories. My favorite character was Leo. He was really funny, and just acted like the friend you want. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the Percy Jackson series, or the Storm Runner series. Have fun reading!

It wasn't as good as his other books, but it was funny and the characters really developed as the story went on. My favorite character was Mr. Stink. He is a funny character, and makes you laugh throughout the book. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes Gangster Grannie, and Awful Auntie. Have fun reading!

This was a great book, full of suspense, it had a great plot, and some awesome characters. My favorite character was either Perenelle or Scathach.
