But when Matt's father was away Matt got tangled in a treaty with the Indians that lived near by."You teach Attean read! I hunt give you food daily." The Indian challenged. Matt agreed. Attean soon starts to speak English. Matt and Attean sometimes stroll around in the forest and Attean shows Matt some survival tips and showed him the sign of his tribe (The sign of the beaver.)

Emmy And The Incredible Shrinking Rat


Emmy And The Incredible Shrinking Rat-November, 6 2009

Lynne Jonell really did a good job on her book, Emmy And The Incredible Shrinking Rat because she realed me into the book just like you would real in a fish. I think that she left me with a lot of questions too get me excited about the other second book. Emmy was lonely and was extremely busy with all the after school activities and nobody seemed to notice her at all. She was very rich and she was really good..mabye a little too good that was why she liked to sit by The Rat who was no good at all. I felt the same way when I first came to H.K.I.S. But Emmy was seemed like she was too unnoticed.... even her own teacher forgot her name! It was a just right book for me because when I started reading the world seemed empty and it felt like it was only the book in I exsiting.

The Rat was the classroom pet and was very rude (For some strange reason Emmy could her The Rat.) and never would thank Emmy once she would save his life like catching him when he would fall out of a tree. But in the end of the story The Rat soon realized how many favors Emmy gave him and became a little more kind than he was before. Mrs. Barmy the evil housekeeper used special rats that each had a special power to put spells on Emmy too make her unnoticed and used it on Emmy parents too. Mrs. Barmy was after the family's fortune!

The problem is solved by turning Mrs. Barmy into a rat and was never for a long time until..the next book. I would have liked it if the parents could have found out about it in the middle of the book and did anything to protect their daughter.




Lighting Thief-November 4, 2009

Lighting Thief-November 4, 2009

This book was by Rick Riordan. This book made me feel questioning. I would always say aloud a question that I want to know and would always gasp as something bad happens and the let out a big sigh of relief when the problem is solved. Well the only connection to this book is about a dream I had before, when I was young. This was a really famous dream for younger children...the monster under the bed. But of course this book was not like that but it does have monsters in it though.

When Percy Jackson found out that he was the son of the sea god he didn't have faith in himself and didn't understand his inner power. He has lost much and is sorrow holds him back. But later on in the book his sorrow is filled with happiness when he comes across new friends. Percy soon gets better at controlling his inner power too. The other character that has changed would be Annebeth. She started of disliking Percy because her mother was a god too and was mortal enemies with Percy's father. But later on in the book she realizes if the want to make it out alive the would have too put aside the differences and work together.

Well the problem still is not solved yet because the story about Percy Jackson is a series type and only with four more books to read the problem would be solved then but for now things would be a secret that I would have to wait to discover.
