39 Clues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Hi again, for the second time tonight! Soooooooooo, my mother is amazing, and she went out into the pouring rain to get me the last 39 clues book: Into The Gauntlet by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
     The 39 Clues is a ten book series about Dan and Amy Cahill, two orphans, that are sent all around the world looking for clues that lead to               . They don't know what they lead to, but they know that it will give them tons of powe r! If you are thinking , wow this sounds stupid, you are wrong. It might be a fourth grade reading level, but these books are really kind of cool!(Plus, easy reads are awesome because you can finish them in like two hours.) Well, I'm going to go and read now! *Phae Phae*

Hunger Games Series!

     Hi peeps, sorry for the super long wait! You've seen my post on The Hunger Games! (hopefully) I have also recently read Catching Fire and Mockingjay. I really loved Catching Fire! It was a very exciting book, and I thought had an awesome plot! The next book, Mockingjay, wasn't as amazing as the other ones in my opinion. Yeah, there was still some action, but I think Ms. Collins killed to many people! I'm not going to tell you who dies, but some of them are cool characters!!! Anyway, if no one died I would have loved the book . I hate when books make me cry. (Yes, I did cry because of this book!) I would give this book a 4 out of 5. I'm probably just complaining because I hate it when people die, but you guys should definitely read this series.
P.S. There is going to be a movie, so get reading!*Phae Phae*

Jackie Evancho!

     Hey again! Okay, so school started for me, so i probably won't update much, and this is going to be short!

     Jakie Evancho was recently on America's Got Talent YouTube Edition. She was AMAZING! She is ten years old and sings amazing opera (not that I really enjoy opera, but she totally rocks it) some of the songs she sing include Amazing Grace, Everytime, Somewhere Over the Rainbow... etc.
     You can check her out on iTunes, she has her own album, called Prelude To A Dream.

Here is Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from the Phantom of the Opera.

The Hunger Games!


     Hey!  I just finished The Hunger Games by  Suzanne Collins. I absolutely LOVED this book! I must have a strong opinion about people's decisions, because I hate what this main character, along with the main character in Sea, chose to do at the end! Just because I said at the end doesn't mean you can just read the last few pages and then start the book! I have no doubt that reading the end would COMPLETELY ruin the book, so please, please, please, please, please, don't do it.
     Anyway now that I got completely of subject, I will start my summary. The Hunger Games takes place in the future, when  the ruins of  North America are controlled by  a terrible and harsh place known as, the Capitol. To remind everyone living in the area that they were controlled by the Capitol, there is an event every year called the Hunger Games. In the Games, twelve boys and twelve girls between the ages of twelve and eighteen, are forced to compete to the death, in an arena, on television! One of the unlucky contestants, Katniss Everdeen, is sent to the competition and has to compete against many people with better skills than herself! Many allies are made, many things challenge the contestants, and many people die.
     Seriously peeps, read The Hunger games! *Phae Phae*

SEA!!!

   

     HI! I finished Sea by  Heidi R. Kling!
     Sea takes place after the 2004 tsunami, specifically the after math in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
      The main character, Sienna Jones, lost her mother because of a plane crash and then is forced to go to Indonesia with her father who works with the orphans that have PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. Sienna comes to really appreciate what she has, including toilet paper! (Icky!) While in Indonesia, she meets Deni, her best friend/love interest. Deni hears word that his father might have survived the tsunami, so he and Sienna run away to his home town, Aceh. I am definitely not going to tell you the end, but I will say I was depressed with the choice she made at the end. The choice about... well you have to read it to know what she chose from the the two things she had to choose about! I know I'm very confusing!
     I really, really liked this book, even though I would have chose a different solution, I mean, It was destiny that she pushed away! I hope I'm making you guys want to read this, because you should read it. Anyway it is one of my favorite books of all time!!! ;D *Phae Phae*

I FINISHED MY BOOK!

     Hey everyone! I'm so happy... because I finally finished my 558 page book, Gone. Gone is the first book in a series by Michael Grant.
     The books are about kids that have to take care of themselves because their parents disappeared. It wasn't just the parents that disappeared, all of the people over age fifteen, which means teachers, fireman, restaurant workers, even mailmen. If that wasn't a big enough problem, the kids can't get help because they are surrounded by a barrier that goes on forever and can't be penetrated.
     The main character is Sam, and he is a role model to the little kids. He and his best friend Astrid have to try to find a way to get out of the area before things get chaotic. Worst of all, the rich kids have decided that they rule the place. They are ruthless and will resort to killing people. This is an awesome book, even though it took me about four days to read! You guys should read it, I guaranty you will be surprised by everything that happens including magical powers and freaky mutating animals! *Phae Phae*

Despicable Me!

     Hi guys! Yes, this review is about Despicable Me! You guys probably think I'm insane, but I did like the movie! It was really cheesy and humor was terrible, but I love kid movies!
     Despicable Me is about a not so evil villain that can't impress anyone. He goes on a mission to "steal the moon." While doing this, he meets his enemy and three orphan kids. At first he uses the kids to get back at his nemesis, but he starts to actually care for them! In the end... I'm not going to tell you the end!
     I really like the littlest orphan girl, Agnes, specifically when she says, "It's so fluffy, I'm going to die!" I just really find it funny! I also like the minions even though you can't understand them!
This is my favorite part of the movie:

Thanks for reading! Enjoy! *Phae Phae*

New Justin Bieber???

     So... I know many people aren't big fans of Justin Bieber, but I am, so sorry haters! Anyway, there are a lot of new singers that are being associated with being the "next Justin Bieber." Singers like Greyson Chance, Cody Simpson, and Jordan Jansen are all very talented, but I wouldn't say they were going to be Justin Bieber later in their career. What do guys think? Shouldn't they be known by their names, not by being like Justin Bieber? I suggest listening to these guys even if you don't like Justin. You might be surprised by how good they are!
