Alex Rider: Stormbreaker

Last week I finished a book called Stormbreaker, written by Anthony Horowitz.

 Stormbreaker is full of adventure, action, and is fast-paced. It is about how a normal teenager boy’s life is turned into a spy adventure against pure evil. Alex Rider’s uncle, Ian Rider, dies in a so-called “car accident”. Later on, Alex goes to the auto junkyard where his uncle’s car is about to be disposed. Alex finds the car riddled with bullets through the windshield and blood in the seats. Will he ever find out what happened to his uncle? 

I loved this book because it always has action each page you go on and adventure is always there. For example, when Alex found himself ambushed by two armed people in quad bikes, he leads them and tricks one of them into crashing into an electric fence and the other falls of the face of a cliff. I also loved this book because of the plot about how Alex figuring out who was the murder of his uncle, Ian Rider.

If you’re an action and adventure lover I would recommend this book. If I were to rate this book I would rate this book five paws.

Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a son of a god?

I would recommend the book Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief. The cover really attracts you to it, and if you like Greek mythology this is a book for you.

It starts when Zeus’s master bolt goes missing and he blames Poseidon. Percy, Poseidon’s son, tries to help him get it back from the mysterious thief and stop the next war between the gods. Will he be able to get it back in time?

I like this book because of the Greek mythology characters. For example, the Minotaur, the creature Percy fights in the beginning of the book, is a half man half bull, and Grover, Percy’s best friend, is a satyr. (A satyr is a half boy half goat). It makes the book a lot more interesting.

Another reason why I like this book is because it is really emotional. For example, I got angry when Percy’s friend betrayed him.

I would recommend this book not only for children but for adults too. I would give this book five paws.

Petroglyphs with Pizzazz!

This is a petroglyph, which was Ancient art that Native Americans made in Kentucky during the paleolithic period. Most petroglyphs were made by picking, scraping, or carving part of a rock's surface, but we used plaster disks and paint and then we carved symbols into it before the plaster dried completely.

Thanks Mrs. Smith for teaching us about Native American Art!
