My Sister's Nightmare, Gretel Killen, ***

This book is the sequel to "My Sister's a Full Stop" and I also read that book. This book is about Zeke and Eppie getting stuck in their mom's nightmare. They find ghosts, draculas, haunted houses and disgusting meals. they even get turned into shoes. Are they going to escape from that nightmare or are they going to stay in their mother's thoughts forever?

I think the best part in this book is when Eppie almost marries someone named Frankenslime for $7.50.Zeke finds out that Frankenslime is the bad guy in the nightmare. I like this series but sometimes it's a little confusing.

Nancy Drew The Chocolate Covered Contest, Carolyn Keen, ****

This book is about Nancy, her friends and a group of kids called the Super Sleuths. Nancy and her friends were chaperoning. They were visiting an amusement park owned by the world-famous Royal Chocolates Company. One of her friends Bess opens a million-dollar candy wrapper in a contest. When Nancy and Bess go to the Royal Chocolates Company to collect their money and claim the prize they are told that someone else has won the contest. Then thy are accused of Cheating in the contest. Nancy and her friends finally find the truth after a near-death experience in the park's animal safari.

This book is the 151st of the series. I think the best part of this book was when Nancy, her friends and the super sleuths were in a near-death experience. They were in the safari and they were run off the road by a car going really fast. This is a really good mystery book to get your minds moving. In the beginning of the book you think you know who the bad guy is but in the end you will see who really is the bad one.

Just Disgusting, Andy Griffths, **

This book is about Andy and Danny (the illustrator) and their really disgusting stories or facts. The titles of the chapters are 101 Really Disgusting Things, Brussels Sprouts, Go to Bed!, Cake of Doom, Two Brown Blobs, Shut Up!, Fun With Andy and Danny, Deadflyella and The Story of the Very Stupid Boy and the Very Big Slug.

I didn't really have a favorite part in this book because this book had many stories and I get confused with all of the stories. I like this book because Andy says these 9 different chapters in different ways like poetry, comics, etc. This book is very disgusting in a funny way. I don't think that many people I know would really like this book. This is a new kind of book for me because it is very disgusting but fun.

My Sister's a Full Stop, Gretel Killeen, ***

This book is the sequel to, "My Sister's a Burp". The book, "My Sister's a Burp" is the sequel to, "My Sister's a Sea Slug" which I wrote about before. This book is about Zeke and Eppie stuck in story land. They meet many people like Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet and the book worm too. He wants to eat Zeke and Eppie and keep them locked up in the book forever.

I think that the best part of the book was when Eppie got stuck in the middle of a pond with one of her legs in a crocodile's mouth. I didn't really know much about what happened before this story because I didn't read the, "My Sister's a Burp." I still like this book even if I don't know a little bit, of what happened in this series. I like this book because it has a weird kind of adventure and the people in this book always get into sticky situations. Zeke and Eppie meet many people and they saved many of their lives.

Maximum Ride, James Patterson,***

Maximum Ride is a series but I have only read 1 book of the series. The first book is called, "The Angel Experiment". This book is a little violent and I don't think that anybody under sixth grade should really read this book. I think that this is a good book for sixth/seventh and up.

This book is about Maximum Ride (Max) and her flock. Which is Fang, Iggy,Nudge,Gasman (Gazzy) and Angel. They are the results of a genetic experiment. They were still babies when they got experimented on. They have the gift to fly. In this story they are on the run from the scientists who made them. They are being followed by another species of genetic experiments, which were called Erasers. Designed by the scientists to hunt the flock down. The leader of the erasers is Ari. When Angel (the six year old of the flock) gets kidnapped by the erasers it is up to the flock to rescue her. While they are rescuing Angel, Max is faced with the question of their origins. In the end there is a more important mission for Max alone to face, SAVE THE WORLD.

I like this book because it has a lot adventure and a small touch of romance. I think the best part in this book for me is when Angel is saved from the erasers. The whole flock is flying away from the scientists (white coats) in this part of the book. Jeb (a man who helped the flock before) was shouting, "Max! Please! This was all a test! Don't you get it? You were safe here! This was only a test! You have to trust me-I'm the only one you can trust! Come back-let me explain!"This howed a lot of emotion coming out of Jeb. I would recomend this book to very few people because this book is kind of violent and I don't think that much people would like it.

Maximum Ride

James Patterson wrote the whole Maximum Ride Series. I am still in the first book of the series. Here are some things about some charactes in the book.

The main character in the book is Maximum Ride (Max). Some people think that Max would be a boy but she is actually female. Max and her family (flock) were normal humans until they got experimented on and now they are kind of like mutants. I am going to write about Max and another guy named Jeb. Jeb is a man that took care of Max and her family (flock).

Max really cares for the flock. She really shows her care for the flock on pages 295-296. They were in trouble with the cops and they were on a tree so they had to get down from the tree but still not get caught. Then she said "Get down; try to look normal. When wer'e on the ground, we'll make a run for it. If we get separated, connect up at, like, Fifty-fourth Street and Fifth Avenue.Comprende?" Max really cares about the flock.

Max has a really catchy name. On page 122 Max got to make up her own last name, Ride. Before her name was just Maximum now her name is Maximum Ride. I really like that name.

Jeb is a guy who is nice in the beggining but he seems kind of mean around the end of the book. He left the flock and made them think that he was there. But on page 114 Jeb says, "Hello Angel. I haven't seen you in a long time. I missed you kiddo." He seems nice here but he is still letting Angel be in all that pain that the other people are causing. So he is a Protagonist and an Antagonist in this book.

Max seems nice in this book but Jeb seems kind of mean. This the some info about the characters in this book but if you want to know more then get this book!

My Sister's Series, Gretel Killeen,***

My Sister's Series is about a boy named Zeke and his little sister, Eppie. This book has 3 books in it that are all connected. The titles of the stories are "My sister's Yo-yo," "My Sister's an alien" and "My Sister's a Sea slug."

In the first book Eppie gets squished to the size of a strawberry and gets stuck to Zeke's yo-yo. The story is practically about Zeke trying to get his yo-yo (with little Eppie on the yo-yo). Zeke used Eppie as a yo-yo so hard she flew up into the air (with the yo-yo).

In the next book Eppie goes into space (because of Zeke in the last book). Eppie was back to her normal size and landed on a planet called Planet Sock.She became queen of that planet and was forced to marry a really stinky fish. Until Zeke came to rescue his yo-yo. Then Zeke and Eppie got a ride home from a comet. While they were going back home they stretched really long and thin because of the speed that they were traveling back to earth.

In the last book Eppie and Zeke got sucked down a bathroom plug. when that happened they just started a whole new underwater adventure. They both go underwater and find mermaids in this war.

I like this book because it has a lot of adventure and an unpredictable ending in each book. Gretel Killeen is a really great author because she can make almost anything sound interesting. I like this series so much I am going to get the whole series and read it all!

This is all I am going to say but, if you want to know what happens in the rest of the series Go and Get It!

Earthquake


This is like the 2nd earthquake that I have experienced in Indonesia. The last earthquake I had, was really cool because I almost fell into a swimming pool.

The Natural Enviroment:
Indonesia are getting these earthquakes because we are in the Ring of Fire.

Animals give us signs about natural disasters like the one that we had. A snake came out of his hole because he might have felt the earthquake coming. It was wierd because there were like 650 kids outside and animals don' t usually come out of their hole with a lot of people outside of their hole.

Jakarta has no landslides because the land is very flat. In other places there are some lands that are not flat and could make landslides. Some places have many mountains.

People Interacting with the Enviroment:

People usually die because of things falling ong them. Maybe a building or just something above us falls. We are usually the ones that give possibilities for us to die and not the enviroment.
