Well, I have not started a new book yet but my last book was Kingdom Keepers IV by Ridley Pearson (I have finished it). One word to describe the book would probably be adventuresome/thrilling. These would finely express this book in many ways. Kingdom Keepers is about Magic Kingdom and how it is being overtaken by people called overtakers. Then a few local kids in Orlando are brought in to the picture to help save Disney World from destruction. This book would be adventuresome/thrilling because of the events that happen in the book. Such as, Finn and Marlene being stuck in a roller coaster simulator in Disney Quest and almost being destroyed because the overtakers literally took over the computers. They experience some thrilling moments like being shot by lasers by pirates. They find and explore places never before seen by anyone else in the park. Towards the end, the Kingdom Keepers save Disney World from being overtaken through their adventurous/thrilling moments.
I am reading Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, i am on page 502. I that the best word that would describe my book would be bravery, I think this because in the book, Annabeth has to be very brave to go into the Roman Capitol city. Another reason that the most descriptive word for my book is bravery is because when they have to go into the River Styx and risk their lives to regain Percy's memory would take a great deal of courage
Great job @jherrera, awesome detail and word choice.
I’m reading “Starters” by Lissa Price and I’m on page 25. If I had to choose one word to describe my book, I would choose the word “Disturbing”. My book is disturbing because of the events in the book. The event I find very disturbing is that there is this place called “prime destinations” where they hire teens to rent their bodies to the elderly. My main character, Callie, needs money so she’s going to rent her body to the elderly. That is why my word is disturbing.
The book I am reading is All The lovely Bad Ones, by: Mary Downing Hahn and I am on page 180. One word that I would describe this book is "Eerie. The reason I would say this book is eerie, because first Travis and Corey try and bring more ghost to their grandmother Inn. Yet when they get their laughs and spooked upped their grandmothers Inn Corey and Tracey starts having the feeling they are being watched by something in the Graveyard. Now Corey and the guests start to think that Corey woke up the dead and has some special connection to them. Since they all think she has a connection to the dead they think the dead is coming back once again to materialize the Fox Hill Inn.
Great job EHouston4. Sounds like a great book! Great word to describe your book!
Great job JLett6, HAHAHA. I love your word choice to describe your book! "disturbing". It sounds like an interesting book!
I am currently reading the book Cloaked by Alex Flinn. The book has 341 pages and I am on page 148. If I had to choose one word to describe my book then it would be mysterious. I believe the book is mysterious because there are so many unknown aspects to the story. An example of this is, why did the prince runaway? Who is after him? I am really looking forward to finishing my book and uncovering the secrets.
@Jherrera4 Perfect Blog!
@EHouston4 good job!
The book I am current;y readin is Killer Pizza, The Slice by Greg Taylor. I don't know what page I am on, but I am on chapter five. One word that describes my book so far, is weird. Beacuse they work at a pizza place, but underground it's actually a monster hunting organization. Three teenagers have to hfind and protect this certain species of monsters. I just started the book so I don't know a lot, but I do know they are hunting and trying to protect this monster.
im reading the second 39 clues one false note and im on page.2 the author is Gordon Korman. i just stared this book and it real diffrent. the book is diffrent becuase in the last one they thought they got the right one but they really got a wrong note so they go serching around and come upon the new one at the part that im on. I did not think this book would be like this but it starts way diffrent from the first one and how they turned in to run ways and then went with the richest family on earth.
Hlawson3 good job i like the word that you chose.
acash3 thats a very good word that you chosed.
@tbolton4 Awesome blog! Your book sounds super interesting.
@tbolton4 Awesome blog! Your book sounds super interesting.
@ehouston4 Great job on your blog; I love that book.
For my book, The Hypnotists, by Gordon Korman, I think a good word to describe the book would be ‘ambiguous’, because the story is very hard to nail down with a certain description. It is fairly indescribable because there aren’t a whole lot of unique things about the book, but not such a lack that it could be called bland. There are a whole bunch of different things like this, which make the prompt for this assignment fairly hard to post to with any other word.
Great blog @jlett6, it sounds like a great book!
The book that I am currently is Sent by Margret Peterson Haddix. I am currently on page 23, if I had to choose one word to describe my book it would be, amazing. It would be that word because the book has so many details also it keeps you on the edge of your seat by going to the highest point of the problem than…. Bang! It tells you what you were wondering what was going too happened.
tbolton4 kee up the good work.
tbolton4 keep up the good work.
Sphillips4 good job on the blog.
I am currently reading Th Hunger Games. I have read it before but it was a while ago, but I wanted to read it again. I am on page 97 right now. The word I would describe it with is intense. There is lots of action, drama, and darkness. It is one of my favorite book trilogy's ever. I'm going to read the whole series again for the heck of it.
Hlawson3 awesome job your blog was very good.

@acash3: Good job you were very detailed
I am now reading “Gracie’s Girl “by Ellen Wittlinger. I am on page 16.If I had one word to describe my book I would choose attention because, in my book the main charter is Bess Cunningham. She is trying to get noticed in school and hang out with popular people. Then she meet a woman named Gracie who is homeless.
My book is The Hunger Games by Susanne Collins and im on page 50. One word to describe my book is brave. In this story, Katniss has to be brave and fight against others. She also wants to keep her family alive. No other word would be as good as this because Katniss is always brave. Her qualities in the story are definitely for that word.
JHerrera4 good job! I read one of those books and they are interesting!
acash3 good job! I loved how your blog was laid out and detailed!
rivals is the tittle of my book. the author of my book is Tim green and I am on page 11 and right now it is amazing because it is so competitive and I am very competitive. and the on word I chose is competitive because the main charter josh and all his team make it to the national championship. and he has really worked hard and has always dreamed of this moment.
I am currently reading The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson,and I am on page 45.The one word that I would describe my book is mysterious.Jenna Fox was in an accident and was in a coma for over a year(she was a asleep for over a year.) She was not supposed to survive the accident but she did. So finally when she woke up her parents were having her watch home videos so she could try to remember things. It took her a while but some things came back to her but not a lot.

I'm reading 'The dragon isles' by Stephen D. Sullivan, and I am on page 10. The word that I choose to describe my book is courage. The main character's name is Mikal Vardan. One day Mik and his friend met a monster. His friend was in danger. Even though, he could die, he ran to the monster to save his friend. It was so courageous behave.
@JHerrera4- Great job on your blog!
@acash3- Nice job!
If I had to choose one word to describe my book it would be mischievous. Because Charlie and his friends are only’s doing stuff they aren’t allowed to do like snooping around in the top of Bloor’s academy. My book is midnight for Charlie bone, the page I am on is 230, and the author is Jenny Nimmo.
ehouston4 great job on your blog
acash3 nice job on the blog
If I could use one word to describe my book, The dark half, I would use the word Scary. This book is about a man who apparently has two half's one is good and one is very dark hence the name the Dark half. The other half is named George Stark, He has a list of people that he wants to kill. Thad and his family are on the list, Thad has to some how stop him. I choose this word because George Stark Kills his victims in a creepy way that I wont go into to much detail into. an George Stalks his victims in a suspenseful way that makes you feel afraid.

Good job on the blog Ehouston4, Your book sound interesting.
Great Job on the post, Jlett6 Your book sounds scary.
I am reading Game Changers by Mike Lupica on page 24. One word I would describe this book is great. This book is about a kid named Ben who always wanted to play football as a quarterback, but he is to short to be a quarterback. But his head coach gives him a backup quarterback job. That's one step closer towards being the starting quarterback.
tbolton4 good job
jlett6 good job
I just finished reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth it had a total of 526 pages. If I had to pick a word for my book I would pick sad the overall book was good, but it had very sad parts. The main character died and it had made to tone of the book very sad. Tobias began to fall apart it was devastating, but ended the book series very well. I just would have wished Tris would have survived.
JHerrera4 I loved the words you choose. Great Job!
Jlett6 Great blog. Your book does sound a little “Disturbing”.
The book i am currently reading is Daniel X Watch the Skies. THis is the second book of the series and i am on page 43. I fi could describe the book in one word i would say that it is Awesome. The book is the only thing (book) that would keep me from not reading. This is basically the only book i would read actually. Its a great book and very interesting that would keep you at the edge of your seat asking what happens next.
JHerrera4: Keep up the good work. The book your reading sounds interesting
ehouston4: You are using very big interesting words in your explanation. Keep it up!
I am reading Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. I am on page 11 and if I had to choose one word to describe the book it would be courageous. The book mentioned that Percy had saved the world which took place in the previous book which takes lots of courage. Percy also has a friend that is homeless and gets picked on a lot by one of the people that go to his school and Percy always stands up for him which is also very courageous. Also, the person who picks on Percy’s friend told Percy that he could have some friends if he didn’t hang out with Tyson(Percy’s friend) which is very courageous because it’s hard to do the right thing.
Good job JHerrera4!
Great job ehouston4!
The book im reading is called May Bird Among The Stars. I am on page 31 of 259. The author is Jodi Lynn Anderson also, one word i would use to describe my book is weird. I think its weird because everywhere she went so far led to monsters or trouble or even close death.
JHerra4 way to add a book for the blog
JLett6 I like how you add disturbing details to describe your book.
The book i just finished reading was The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. One word i would use to describe the book would be Bravery. Because in the series, a lot of people had to be brave to survive. In this book, Silena had to be brave and sacrifice herself to save her friends. Another character that was brave was Luke who also had to sacrifice himself to save Camp Half-Blood. Both of them were working for the enemy and at the last moment realized what they were doing. Another character that was brave was Clarisse. She went into battle without armor on and it was like she didn't care if she dies or not, she just wanted revenge. Another character was Percy, He went to bathe in the River Styx even though he knew it was very dangerous and he could die in it. BUt he still did it to defeat Kronos. There are a lot more of characters who were brave in this book and did stuff to save Camp Half-Blood and friends.
hlawson3 good job on your blog! That sounds like a very interesting book!
kaesposito4 good lob on your blog! It was very detailed. It is pretty sad that Tris dies.
I am currently reading Fever by Laurie Halse Anderon and I am on page 18.The best word to describe this book would be unpredictable. Unpredictable would be the best word to describe this book because you don't know what Mattie, the main character will do next or what will happen to her. By the beginning of this book I can tell that a lot of things that I wont expect to happen will happen. When a book is unpredictable you never know what is going to happen next and it keeps you wanting to read more.I can already tell that I am going to enjoy and never going to want to put this book down.
@Czunkel3 Great job on your blog, great job using examples from the book.
I have finished the current book for this nine weeks. My books name is "In A Heartbeat" The author is "Loretta Ellsworth". One word I would have to use to describe is inspirational. I would say this book is inspirational because the main character "Amelia" is trying to find her the Donner that gave her new heart. And she talks a lot about the new and different things and challenges she as to go through that is why I would use inspirational to describe this book.
acash3 Great Job!
mglaeser3 Good Job!
@mglaeser3 Great job on your blog, good job with using details from your book.
I just finished reading Skinny by Donna Cooper and there were 260 pages. If I could describe this book with one word, I would choose inspiring because it’s about a 15 year old girl who weighs 302 pounds and about how she journeys through a risky surgery and finally faces the voice in her head that tells her she’s worthless and that she’ll never be loved no matter how many pounds she loses. I think it would inspire anyone who has ever struggles with their weight and have low self-esteem. I found this book inspiring because it talks about self-acceptance and how anyone can change and learn to love oneself, if there determined enough to try.
JHerrera4,
Good Job on your post! It was long and detailed.
jzhang6,
I liked your blog!! Keep up the good work!!!
I just finished the book "Spirit Animals - Wild Born" by Brandon Mull. One important thing about this book is "friendship". This is because the four main characters of this book, Conor, Abeke, Meilin and Rollan have to develop a strong bond between themselves and their spirit animals. Throughout the book, the necessity of this bond is shown numerous times. Not all four have been successful at this. The friendship between a spirit animal and its owner have saved lives many times while the lack of it caused more problems. For example, Abeke's friendship with Uzara, the leopard, helped her to avoid getting killed by a giant dog. It also helped her to find the talisman of Arax. Also, Conor and Briggan, the wolf, becomes friends almost instantly. Briggan is incredibly loyal to Conor and obeys his orders without question.
I am reading ‘’The Lord of the Rings” written by J.R.R. Tolkien and I am on page 260. If I had to choose one word to describe this book it would be adventurous. I would choose this because the book has several long journeys that occur within the book. Such as when Frodo had to go through the Barrow Downs and travelling to Rivendell. The book also has many fighting scenes as well.
JHerrera4 Great job on the blog!
acash3 Great job on the details you gave!
I am reading “Legend”, by Marie Lu, and am on page 79. In one word, I would chose exciting. On pages 30-32, Day, the main character, was stealing medicine from a hospital for his family. However, there was no medicine. Basically, he had to escape the hospital, when there were soldiers at the hospital getting healed. He roughly escaped, and was injured in the rib area, and legs. He is also the most wanted criminal.
@JHerrera4 Great comment!
@sknowles6 How is that book?
I am reading "BATTLE STATIONS" by Margaret Scoggin and I am on page 43. If i could yse one word to describe this book it would be WAR. In this book it talks about the Experience of war and how war works. It also talks about the sacrifices men and women made in war. this book also takes place in world war two and explains three brances of the US Military, the air force, the NAVY ant the Marines.
Great job APerez3 and trahman4 on your blogs.
The book I’m currently reading is Looking For Alaska by John Green. I just started the book and I’m on page 10. If I were to put this book into 1 word, I guess that word would be phenomenal because. This book so far already has me wanting more, I can’t put it down its funny, romantic, and tells a story that is like no other. It has an emotional toll and I am already connected to the characters. It truly is a good book.
amartin3 good job on your blog.
ehunziker4 amazing blog, keep up the ood work.
The book I am currently reading is Dreamland by Sarah Dessen and I am on page 11. One word I would use to describe this book is exciting. I think this book is exciting because there is a lot of things that go on in this book it just makes your heart race. This book leaves you in a lot of suspense also. Another reason why this book is exciting is because I never want to put it down.
Jherrera4: great post. You used a lot of detail.
Ehouston4: great blog. I liked all the details you added in it.
A Girl Named Disaster /Nancy Farmer/ pg. # 56.The word I would use is UNFAIR. The reason I would use unfair is that this girl is being forced to do everything she hates most. And she thinks to herself that she has to run away so she doesn’t has to marry an old dude with 3 wives. And the book says that he is abusive and have killed one of his previous wives for cooking his food too hot.
@amartin3 good job on your blog. Great book!
@acash3 Great job on the details you gave!
The book I am reading is The Roar by Emma Clayton, and I am on page 340. The single word I would choose to describe The Roar is sickness. The word I would use is sickness because through out the whole book they bring up things that happened, like the giant walls around the cities, that resulted from the animal plague. The animal plague infected all animals on Earth, and humans were attacked by the sick animals. The people destroyed all of the plants and made a law that would prevent animals from entering the cities. Their are many things in the story that resulted from the plague.
trahman4
Great post, it has answered the question completely.
jzhang6
Fantastic post, you put a lot of detail in the answer, nice job.
The book I am currently reading is Freaky Is About To Get Fabulous, by Lisi Harrison. IM on page 108 and the one word I would use to describe my book is sassy. This book is sassy because, Melody the main character had really bad asthma and didn't know how to control it. She had to carry around her inhaler on her belt buckle, loose clothes, and she had an over sized nose. She's the main character in the book but an nobody at school, one day her dad showed her some nose
surgery she could get done to help her out. It took her a couple of weeks to say yes, after she did she looked fabulous. New wardrobe, nose, no more inhalers, and she broke out of her shell. Freaky to fabulous.
@acash3...that book sounds interestng
@acash3...that book sounds interestng
I am reading Torn by Margret Peterson Haddix. I am on page 22.If I had to choose one word to describe my book it would be adventure. I would choose this word because the two main charicters, Jonah and Kristin go on a trip on a boat but gets lost at sea. They have to survive the weather condidtions and brutal sun to find their way back.
@tenson6 great job, keep it up.
@cchumack6 I like how you included the details.
The book I am reading is called “The Running Dream”, By Wendelin Van Draaren , on page 5. If I had to pick one word to describe this book it would be encouragement. The reason why I chose that, is because Jessica loves to run it is her passion. When she loses her leg, her life seems to be over! The reason she lose her leg because of a horrible car accident. Things are hard for her now, but every now and then the sweet smell of running, crosses her mind. She then can’t run so she finds other things to do instead. Fighting this battle Jessica still feels the pain and sadness, because she can probably never run or even walk again!
jonesc4 Great job on explaining why you chose your word.
JHerrera4 Nice details in your blog, keep up the great work!
great job jherrera good word
The book i am currently reading is "My sisters a vampire" (Re-vamped), by Sienna Mercer. I am on page 23 and so far their is one twin that is a vampire (Ivy) and one that is human (Olivia) and they see each other at school and find out they are twins. If i could describe this book in one word, it would be exciting because its cool to see Olivia and ivy being twins and one is a vampire.
Great job @Jherrera4 and Jlett6
@acash: Great job I love how u mention my name!!
