Firestorm Summary Full A.H

A regular boy named Jack is in his senior years of high school, and he has broken the number of touchdowns in one game. Now he has appeared on the news. For someone trying to hide from an army of aliens, mutants, and cyborgs, you can imagine that being on the news makes it incredibly hard to hide and from killers armed with who-knows-what. So now Jack is on the run and along the way, he finds a dog named Gisco that turns out to have a telepathic power. They instinctively team up and Gisco turns out to be rather useful, what with his extraordinary dog senses and the fact that he's 3 feet tall. That makes any dog useful for fights, but especially if he can plan out strategies with you through your mind so you can't be overheard. Now, Gisco and Jack travel a long distance, escaping enemy forces by a large margin, or a very close call. Either way, they make it to an abandoned barn, where Gisco then leaves Jack and he is trapped inside the barn. Jack has no idea where Gisco has gone and is feeling betrayed when he is attacked by a ninja person. The ninja returns every night until Jack finally beats him, and discovers that "he" is actually a girl. Eko has a full arsenal of different techniques that aid in conquering your most inner weaknesses. He completes Eko's "course"  now is on a bottom trawler to run from his enemies. He suddenly can't stand the idea of destroying the ocean's regeneration sites so he breaks down the trawler. Then his evil, long-lost brother arrives and takes him on to his boat. There he is used to find Firestorm, the one most powerful element that ever existed. He is leading Dargon straight to Firestorm without realising it at all. Dargon finds Firestorm and Jack captures it, even as Dargon attempts to destroy it. There, Jack, Gisco, and Eko turn Dargon's island into a volcano and it explodes, taking it's owner with it. However, Gisco and Eko disappear due to a critical injury to Eko, and they return to the future. Jack then returns home.

"Alas my duties still remain, even after one victory I must keep my head up high and persevere."
-Jack

I rate this section of the book a orange skittle because it did have a lot of action near the beginning but I felt like it was lacking of some sorts while Jack was staying on Dargon's island.

Freezer Book Challenge For March 26th K.S

If I could freeze any book, I would freeze the book Firestorm because it's a suspenseful book that also has some very inappropriate parts in it (that I will not go into detail). But otherwise this book written by David Klass is about a boy named Jack who is in his senior year of high school, and although life seems to be going well for Jack something is after him. Now he's on the run learning on the way how to save the earth before the turning point.

Gregor The Overlander (Summary Pt. 2) (M.M)

Gregor has hope as he now knows that his dad is alive. Gregor's happiness changes when he is alerted that the rats have attacked Regalia, but what Gregor didn't know about was that he is the prophecy's warrior. Gregor is now in a combat that he had no idea was happening and is told he is the prophecy's warrior. How did this kid from New York City, become this important to people he met only a few days before?

Quote: If Boots doesn't go, I don't go.
I chose this quote because talking back to royalty to protect your sister is a brave thing to do.

Journal Entry For The Week Of March 26th (C.P)

If I were to put a book in the freezer I would choose the book "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games are about a girl Katniss Everdeen who gets drawn to go to the Hunger Games where death is almost certain. Katniss perseveres and manages to win the Hunger Games. I would put this book in the freezer because I couldn't put it down even when I had to do other things, I ended up reading it at Winners (that's how amazing it was).

Another book I would put in the freezer would be "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan. The Lightning Thief is about a half god, half human boy who is accused of stealing his god uncle's lightning bolt. Throughout the book he tries to prove himself innocent and in the end his friend Luke turns out to be guilty. I would put this book in the freezer because I read this when I was 10 around that age I had a particular fear of ghosts, monsters etc. So when the Three Fates part came up I was petrified. In the end, I managed to keep reading.

Firestorm Summary + Quote For The Week Of The 26th (C.P)

The girl Eko's intentions were not what Jack presumed they would be. She was not trying to embarrass him by beating him up, she was actually training him to fend for himself against his enemies. After many days of training with Eko the Dark Army returns with no intention of leaving Jack alive. After a furious battle, Jack and Gisco escape on a boat leaving Eko to deal with the Dark Army. Eventually they take her precious life. After almost dying from hunger, thirst, whirlpools and hurricanes another boat comes to Jack and Gisco's rescue.

I rate this part of the book a purple skittle (Don't hate it, don't love it). This part was not as exciting as the first part although it did have some action. Jack and Gisco were stuck on the boats for too long without any twists or any surprises. The author should have added something to keep the reader's interest.
"God forgive me for all of the sins I have committed. I am truly sorry, please spare my life with your great kindness". -Jack

Firestorm Summary + Quote+Rating For The Week Of March 19th (C.P)

After an encounter with evil beings from the future, 19-year old Jack must leave his hometown and his fake parents to escape from his unknown chasers. He runs to the city that never sleeps-New York City. There he encounters several other evil chasers and a telepathic dog named Gisco. Gisco informs Jack that they are from the future where the world is in ruins because humanity destroyed it. Jack was sent back to save the world by finding Firestorm. This would restore the health of the world's oceans. Gisco leads Jack into an old barn then ditches him where Jack gets beat up by a ninja every night Jack slowly learns to counter the ninja's attacks then one day he defeats the ninja only to discover that this fierce ninja was a girl.
I rate this section of the book a red skittle (a must read book). This section was amazing and exhilarating. I gave this book a red skittle because it kept you on the edge with an action packed twist around every turn of the pages. Not only did this book contain immense amounts of action but it had other attracting elements such as the romance, the mystery and humour.

"I didn't think you could handle the truth but boy you're doing fine, you're tougher than you look."

-Gisco Pg. 87

Firestorm Series

These are the three books from the Firestorm series.The first is Firestorm, second Whirlwind, and the third is Timelock. All that I'll tell you is that they are really good books. If you want more information, go read them or check out our summaries. Recommened for 12 up.

Challenge For The Week Of March 19th (C.P)

Yes I do like listening to music that reflects the mood of my book. My choice of song would reflect this:
a sad book - sad, slow and soft music the more action the book has the faster and the louder the music would get for example... If I was reading Firestrom (which I just finished great book by the way) I would listen to fast paced music to emphasise the mood of the book such as Heart or Nickelback. If I was reading Ptolemy's Gate (very sad ending) I would play songs by tears for Fears (very soft and slow music). If I read a happy book such as Gregor the Overlander (happy ending) I would listen to songs by Katy Perry (happy upbeat).

Why I Chose My Rating System (K.S.)

For my rating system, I chose anime because in my life I literally spend half of my time watching anime (even though I should be studying) because I find anime very amusing and each anime always has a different plot, characters and twists. Although my favourite part would be the different languages I get to learn while watching these shows (like Japanese or Chinese) and since I have to choose something I like for my rating system, I thought, why not anime?

Here is my rating system (from highest to lowest);
5=Naruto Shippuden
4=Yu-Gi-Oh
3=Fairy Tail
2=Fullmetal Alchemist
1=Digimon

Gregor The Overlander Full Summary (A.H)

An 11-year-old boy is home one day while the rest of the kids are at a camp. Gregor is alone with his crazy old grandmother and his little sister, Boots. He goes to do the laundry one day, and finds a chute that leads to the Underworld. He then falls down with his little sister and he arrives in the Underworld. He is picked up by a giant cockroach who takes him to a massive arena. Gregor and Boots are taken to a castle and given Underlander clothes. They attempt to escape through the Waterway, but they are attacked by two massive, talking rats. When Gregor and Boots are about to be eaten, 4 bats and their riders appear to rescue Gregor and Boots. When they get back to the castle, Vikus decides that Gregor truly is the warrior of the prophecy. Vikus then takes Gregor, Boots, Henry, and Luxa on a quest, but first they must find the other members. They set off to find the people/creatures needed. First they go to the crawlers. They take two crawlers, Temp and Tick. They then go to the spinners to get two spinners. The Queen of Spiders refuses and holds them prisoner. They break out eventually, thanks to Luxa, and escape to the Dead Land. There, Vikus can take them no further, so he brings a rat named Ripred to guide them to the rat's home. There, Henry reveals himself to be a spy and summons an army of rats and the rat king to kill Gregor. Gregor realizes that the rats will try to kill him, no matter the danger, so he jumps off the edge of a cliff, and sure enough, the rats follow him. As Gregor falls, Henrys' bat catches him instead of Henry, so Gregor is saved but Henry is not. The team goes back to Regalia, and Ripred gathers a political party of rats to help him ascend to the throne. Gregor, Boots, and their father return home to the Overland.

My Rating System (S.K)

I chose to use chocolate bars for my rating system. It is a scrumptious treat that everyone loves! But, some chocolate treats have different tastes and some people like me dislike them. For that reason specifically, I have chosen to use chocolate bars. I used three different types of bars, Twix bars show that I liked this part in the book, Smarties mean that this specific part of the book was okay and O'Henry bars mean that I didn't like this part in the book.

Twix bars: Good

Smarties: Okay

O'Henry bars: Bad

My Rating System Explained (C.P)

I chose skittles for my rating system because I simply adore their succulent flavours and well.... who doesn't love skittles? Skittles are a colourful rainbow of yummy, chewy and sugary candy goodness. My rating system starts with the yellow skittle. It is my least favourite if I give this to a book I absolutely despise this book. Next we have the green skittle this means I do not like the book. Then we have the purple skittle this means the book is okay I don't hate it, but I don't love it. Next is the orange skittle. This means I like the book. Finally we have the red skittle this means I absolutely adore this book and you should read it!

Describing Your Book Through Food

We decided that our book reminds us of asparagus because our book is terrible and asparagus tastes bad, looks bad, smells bad, and leaves a bad aftertaste. You want to forget the book but when you try to forget it, you can't forget. It's the terrible aftertaste that returns to haunt you. The book wasn't very well written because it didn't have enough action (much like asparagus: all boring and no action) and it didn't have any reflection on reality. I would suggest this book to a younger audience who adores fantasies that have no connection to real life whatsoever.
