A Book Full of Secrets

Last year, I read a book called The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. This is the first book in the series, called The Secret series.

In the book they have two main characters, Cass and Max-Ernest. They join a society called The Terces Society, and are given a mission to save their friend Benjamin from Solar-Zero (A.K.A Midnight Sun). Will they find him in time, or will Benjamin suffer his brain being removed?

I would recommend this book to everyone. It had a lot of adventure. For example, Cass and Max-Ernest break into various different places. It’s a great read!

Overall, I think this book deserves 5 paws. The only problem with the book is that you never figure out who actually wrote it.

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!

Hey, Mrs. Isaacs, How'd You Create That Header?

I've had quite a few kiddo's ask how to make jpegs and manipulate the size so they'll fit across the top of their blog and act as a header. While I use Image composer, which is an archaic program, (if it aint broke, don't fix it :-) I don't know what everyone has at home. I'd love for all the kiddo's to learn Photoshop, but that takes money.

And so when I ran across this little jewel of a freebie I had to share! It's called pixlr.com. It has similar features to Photoshop, and I'd love for the kiddo's to play! Now, you do have to sign up, which basically involves giving them your email and creating a password, but once that's taken care of you can create, layer, and put words on any picture you'd like. Too, some of the tools (such as the lasso, the wand, etc) are the same as Photoshop, so learn this first and when we get to that stage it'll be a breeze!

Now I'm learning this one with you, so I'm no expert. But if you have a questions feel free to post one and I'll see if I can't find the answer. As always, go play, have fun, be fearless, and learn something new!

Mrs. Isaacs.

Got Questions?

We've had so many kiddo's create blogs that I thought it might be a good idea if you had a spot to ask questions if you get stuck. Comment a question and I'll try to get back to you within 24 hours. Remember, short of going into the template HTML code, any mistakes you make I can probably fix, so be fearless, explore, create, and most of all have fun!

The Best Beach in the World!

Have you ever been to Myrtle Beach? I have. Let me tell you all about this place. First of all, I love the wet, sandy ground that touches your heels. Secondly, there are a lot of activities you can do like surf, build a sand castle, swim, jump the waves, and all kinds of other stuff. My favorite one is surfing. Last but not least, I love the seashells there. At nigh, you can search for them.
