They are coming for me. There is no stopping them. You cannot fight them. You can only run. They are IT. I ran faster for my life while the its were on my tail. I jumped over a bush. They jumped over a bush. I ran inside my house and locked the door. The ones that were it then said “Hey! That’s cheating!” I then unlocked the door, opened it and said ,”Well, you’re faster than me. That’s unfair.”
OH NOOOO!!
I am going to tell you about a story I have heard of. It is called something like the legend of Daedlus. Daedlus was a mighty king and there was a (I don’t remember, but let’s call him a bard, shall we?). The bard pretty much just lives there because he flatters the king, and one day, he says any man will be lucky to sit in the king’s chair for a day. The king hears this and says you may sit in my throne for a day. So the bard sat in the chair, watching servants and other matters at hand. He then looks up and sees a sword, hanging by a single thread. The bard then begs the king to let him leave, and he does. The sword is now referred to as the sword of daedlus. This shows that having a position of power has it’s risks.

I have seen the coming of the dawn
Unconcernedly watching the passing of the day
Whiled away my hours in joyful play-
I live to simply sing the song of love
And play the music of my heart-
Dancing and playing in the light,
I am filled with passion and delight.
My voice is free.
It rises and floats away from me-
I am unable to escape these walls.
My body will not float like my song’s plaintive calls.
Only in my mind I float free as my song
And I fly to a home where I belong.
There, those who know my heart well
Sing, sing, sing with my song’s spell-
They snatched my voice,
Held me against my choice.
I forget all that was mine
Yet I reach to dream it one last time.
I struggle to the last
But my light is fading fast.
A lone warrior waging a brutal fight
Against an endless night.
I fight for escape even if the notes of this song
Are the only part of me to leave.
I rise up out of here,
Reaching for the things I hold dear.
I will not stay silent,
I shall not remain still.
I sing, I sing to the end.-Sebastian

This book is about a kid named Rigg where you are placed in the forest with little intermissions of someone elses life. There was a man who was landing a ship on a planet called Garden in which they would colonize with humans. Rigg can see paths of people who passed and what type of animal they are, except for his father. In the effort to save his friends brother, he sees someone else who grabs onto him and he saves him instead of his friend’s brother. The townspeople are mad and throw him out with his friend whose brother he failed to save. It seems he can see people from the past, and friend can travel in the past, and they change time.
It was a good book, but I hate that he and Lois Lowry both have one thing in common. They don’t finish their stories. I can already think of an ending without it making me. Anyway, it was a good book, but kind of confusing. But reading about time travel is really confusing because every single time traveler gets different rules. He gets away from the bad guys and his crazy mom, and finds out who he really is.
I would reccomend this book because there are crazy people
There is laughing at how time was changed
You learn from the characters constantly bickering
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
By J.K. Rowling
784 pages
In this story, Harry is about to come of age and are now always packed with homework. The ministry of magic is taken over by Voldemort and all the good guys are forced into hiding. Now no one can say Voldemort, because they can track you down if you do. The good eyes are hurt and some die. For instance, my favorite character, Dobby, died in this book. They are mostly running and hiding and destroying horcuxes. Horcruxes help keep Voldemort alive, and Harry is one of them.
This was not a very good book compared to the other ones. I think it may be because she was criticized, but the battles weren’t very good. You would expect an epic battle between the Dark Lord and the Boy Who Lived, but they mostly talk. I was immensely saddened that Dobby died, he was awesome.
I still would reccomend this book because it had a decent amount of action.
The fear factor was palpable and was really cool.
That, and you finally get characters that you wanted together.
For my reading challenge, I read The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. I had already read the first one, but it did not interest me at that age. I am now hooked older, and am thankful I read it later. Harry is a magical wizard with a complicated lifestyle, except with the Dursleys. The Dursleys hate him, and a house elf named Dobby makes things worse. Dobby drops cake on someone and his Uncle Vernon bars him in for doing magic. He is broken out by his friends and flies away in a flying car. They try to get to the train to go to his magical school but someone blocked it. They fly to the school and get yelled at. But that isn’t the worst. He has to fight something that is paralyzing everyone in the school, and they need to find who, or what, it is.
The author fixed the problem where she didn’t describe the room and you were left with a blank enviroment with characters in it. It doesn’t have much of a battle scene, I was really dissapointed it only lasted about one paragraph where he actually fights. Good suspense though, good mystery, and a nice book though. I am starting on the other books and reccomend other people do the same.
I would reccomend this book because it has a good plot.
It gives an impression of what a wizard school would be like.
It gives you a very good mystery.
I read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by the author Douglas Adams for Reading Counts and I passed my test with flying colors! I completed 215 pages, and I would give this book a rating of 3 out of 10.
I KNOW I USED PEARS!
