The Roar of the Crowd

The Roar of the Crowd

Rich Wallace

***

This book is about a boy named Manny, and he's starting his VERY FIRST football season at the age of 12. And at age 12 there are a lot of tough guys who will just ram in to you like you're a piece of broccoli, and every boy hates broccoli.

And the worst thing is that Manny is like a small plastic pole that anyone can knock over. And when the coaches see what he does, they always turn and frown at each other, this isn't good… Especially when the team starts losing badly, very badly.

But Manny refuses to give up, and become a loser again. This is a really good book for people who want to be athletes. Any athletes this is how you build confidence in your self. Like me, I'm the only girl on the team, and I still don't quit, because I'm playing soccer for me, only me, no one else. And after 6 years I've gotten pretty good at it, and am very satisfied of how well I've improved over the years.

Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs
Investigate

***

Can you imagine a world in which palm trees grew in Alaska and there were coral reefs in the mountains of Canada? Well, the world of the dinosaurs was much warmer than it is today and the climate suited them perfectly. Many different types of dinosaurs lived together, from the Brachiosaurus (as tall as a four-storey building and heavier than ten adult elephants) to dinosaurs no bigger than a chicken.

Some of these were ferocious meat-eaters and some were gentle giants that ate only plants. Over millions of years the landscape changed and so did the creatures that roamed the land. And then, the dinosaurs died out! What happened to them? Do you have any theories? But what if there was still one left alive and you were lucky enough to keep a baby dinosaur as a pet?

Planes

Planes

Investigate(Company)

***

Have you ever wondered how scary it must have been flying in the flimsy planes built at the beginning of the twentieth century? Plane trips are quite common today, but in days gone by this form of travel was unbelievable. Unlocking the secrets of flight was a lifelong goal of pioneers such as the Wright Brothers, and modern day explorers break new boundaries in the space shuttle.

This book shows you the old and the new: from the inventions of George Cayley and Lawrence Hargrave and the first hot air balloons to the planes used in both world wars, to stealth fighters and trips beyond Earth. And it even provides handy hints for those of you who want to keep a Harrier jump jet in your family garage!

Racing Cars

Racing Cars

Investigate(Company)
***

For as long as there have been cars, people have wanted to race them. Motor racing takes many forms, from children's go-karts to souped-up family cars and racing trucks, to the exciting world of Formula 1 racing. The name 'Ferrari' makes people think of the famous original red racer, but what do the latest Ferrari's look like?

Do they come in colors other than red? The thrill and action of racing is captured in the detailed pictures in this book, such as a close-up view of a racing car cockpit and engine. Other spreads show how to modify the family car so you can race it on a track, what happens at a pit stop, new safety features for track drivers and much, much more. And what about the problems you'd face if you took your Formula 1 car to the supermarket?

Whales

Whales

Investigate(Company)

***

Whenever a whale comes close to shore, hundreds of people flock to see it frolicking in the water rolling over, spouting and slapping its tail at the waves. They hold their breath until it swims safely out to sea again in case the whale beaches itself on the sand and dies. Scientists have theories about why whales do this but no-one really knows why.

Whales, dolphins and porpoises are mammals of the sea and have captivated people for centuries. These beutiful creatures come in all shapes and sizes, and each one has its own personality, way of feeding, communicating, and so on. Look inside this book to see the actual size illustration of a blue whale's eye, a fight between a giant squid and a sperm whale, how we can protect whales and how you can keep a whale in your Swimming Pool!

James and the Giant Peach

James and the Giant Peach

Roald Dahl
*****

Were the green, glowing crystals the little man gave James really magic? Maybe, but it was magic lost James when he tripped and spilled the crystals by the old peach tree. Now it looked like he'd never escape his hideous aunts. But what was happening to that peach at the tip of the tree? It was growing bigger and bigger... It was as big as a house! And when James crawled inside, he met a houseful of friends:

Giant Grasshopper, Ladybug,Centipede, and more.

Then with one sip of the stem, the peach was rolling away-and marvelous things started happening...

Lucky for Lily, her two best friends are anything but average. Both of them are famous for their adventures.

Wolf Brother

Wolf Brother
Michelle Paver

****

Torak is alone... Wounded, terrified, and on the run. He has seen his dad been murdered by a bear, and all of his blood stained to the forest's ground!!! But now he has to be in charge, ever since his dad his been up in the heaven Torak has been alone the entire time. Now he doesn't know what to do. Oh, and by the way he's only 12 years old, and now he has the choice of being in charge of the world's most dangerous warriors, but can he handle it??? This is the mystery that comes up everywhere up in the book.

I think the best part was when he sympathetically made this speech, WOW it was just such a beautiful piece. Even from the writing I could hear the voice inside of my head, of him saying the speech. The speech was about it doesn't matter how old you have to be to be in charge of something, anything the most IMPORTANT thing is that you have faith in yourself, and most importantly the people!!!

Inkheart (Characterization)

In the book Inkheart written by Cornelia Funke, Meggie and her father, and some former friends, who shouldn't be called friends. Oh yeah, and I forgot the sassy aunt Elinor.

I choose Dustfinger as one of the most interesting characters, because in the middle of the adventures, Dustfinger develops into one of the most deep characters.

One point is that, in the beginning of the book Dustfinger was so calm, greedy, and cool, obviously expressing his feelings to Meggie about how he feels. In this line "Dustfinger looked first at Mo, then at Meggie, with an expression of incredulity on his face. "You haven't told her?" Said Dustfinger, (Trying to give away Mo's secret, that he can read people out of books, and read things into books)" Cornelia Funke obviously wanted to give away, the secret.

In another page Cornelia Funke, shows Dustfingers caring side, and how much he wants his normal life back. But Mo wants to read back his wife from the book, without even knowing if she really is in the book, or is somewhere else. In the chapter there was a quote, "Dustfinger carefully pulled up Gwin from the ground, seeing that he's tired. He carefully struck his tail the way he liked it." I think this shows how much Dustfinger cares about Gwin.

Here Dustfinger is really stressed, and aggressive. "How could you, How could you, that was the last copy, the only chance to get me back in the book, you fool!!!"

Then Dustfinger kicks one of the guards knee, and tries to pull the book out of the fire, but apparently his hands can't resist the heat anymore!!!

This book "Inkheart" is one exciting book, with incredible journeys especially half way around the world. Dustfinger is one of the most incredible characters I have ever seen, grow so strongly into a strong life saving man!

Earthquake Strikes Indonesia...

It was shortly before 3pm when it happened. The Earthquake struck Indonesia. it killed 38 people, but was a strong hit on the Richter Scale!!! Which was 7.6!!! I was at school when it happened, but why would a big fat snake surrounded by 650 Middle Scholars, and why would it go under the ground. There could be a slight possibility that the Snake could feel the small title waves forming the Earthquake.

There has been a Tsunami warning on television. Could this be because of the Ring of Fire??? The Rinf of Fire is an arc of intense seismic. .How can the people interact with the environment? Well it could be that when the Earthquake shakes, something could fall from the ceiling, and could kill someone. But when I was in school, I fell from the chair, and when I was on the ground face up my back could REALLY feel the title waves, that were present during the Earthquake. I didn't know that something so short could have scored such a high score on the Richter Scale. But it occurred to me that there could be another Earthquake, because of all the signs that have been connecting with the environment.
