Book of Greek Myths

Book of Greek myths doesn't have an author. I love it! It has just tons of Greek myths but it's told so we can actually understand the text. This book also has lots of pretty pictures!

Book of Greek Myths is very good to have if you were to read Percy Jackson and The Olympians. I noticed that people and words refer to Greek myths in real life. A lot more than you'd imagine! For example, there was one story where a mother wants her children to be immortal but since her husband is mortal, her children will be too. So, she tried to burn off the mortal part of her babies but it killed them all. Her last baby survived through the operation, she named him Achilles. Before she could finish, she was caught and she had to flee. The baby grew up to be a hero but his heel was still mortal. Hence the name of achilles heel!

East

East is an interesting book. It also has a really great plot. This is a really hard book to explain but basically, it's about a girl named Rose who finds herself being held captive in a castle by a polar bear. I still don't know why though. This is a really good book because the author did a great job with detail so it's not like they're saying "The grass flowed in such grace that it looked as if there were, Blah, Blah, Blah!" She also wasn't going "Then, Rose died and then her mother moved away, Yada, Yada, Yada!" She also leaves me on a cliff hanger and makes sure that the unecspected happens!

I would deffenetly rate this book a 10!

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh is about a mouse (and widow of Jonathon) named Mrs. Frisby. She finds out that her youngest son, Timothy has pneumonia. That means that he can't go outside for a couple of weeks. The catch is that they live on a farm and the farmer is going to take the plow out in a couple of days. That would tear up Mrs. Frisby's house! She goes from place to place, asking for help, until she runs in to the rats of Nimh.

I, so far, love this book! I really like how the author writes with such detail. The plot is very deep too. Sometimes, it seems as if I am in the book! It is really interesting how Mrs. Frisby connects, some how, with the rats of Nimh! It is really hard not to give away this book because there are amazing things that happen but they don't have anything to do with the plot! The problem about this book is that it isn't told in first person. For some unexplainable reason, I like a book written in first person. I think that it's because I can really get the feel of the main character's thoughts! Although, I would still rate this book a ten! Enjoy!

Abel's Island

Abel's Island is about a very elegant and I'm guessing rich mouse named Abel. Abel gets tossed and tumbled in a storm and is washed up on to a beautiful but uninhabited island.

I haven't finished this book yet but it is very interesting and cute. Abel has to learn to adapt to the island until help comes. I think that he is going to end up bringing his wife on the island to live with him. He is blocked off by a river but the river is very strong so Abel can not cross it. He can't swim, go by boat or even make a bridge!

I would definitely give this book a 10 because of it's excellent meaning and it's wonderful detail.
