The Berinfell Prophecies: Curse of the Spider King

I read the Curse of the Spider King by Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper. It is without a doubt one of the best books I've ever read!

The back of the book says:

The Spider King's minions are crossing from Allyra to Earth to hunt for seven unsuspecting thirteen-year-olds, who are royalty from a foreign world. Stopped once by an ancient curse, the dark forces are determined to finish the job. The Seven's only hope for survival is a remnant of exiled Elves intent on restoring their kingdom- but can they be trusted?



Navigating the tangled web of the Spider King, the teens must make a perilous choice: Go to Allyra and face an uncertain destiny: or remain on Earth and risk the lives of the ones they love.



It was so exciting! I can't wait for the next book to come out! A part I really liked was that the Spider King sends spies to Earth and you know who those spies are? Spiders. Little spiders. The very ones that crawl on your ceiling at night. Oh! When I read that, I started to see spiders everywhere! And the very night I read that part I got up to get a drink of water ( I was reading in bed) I saw a spider crawling on the ceiling of the kitchen. I glared up at it and said, "Hello spider. You aren't going to try and kill me!" and I killed it.

This is a must-read book.

Princess Academy

The next afternoon break, Miri joined the others outside. The sun's glare off the snow made her eyes water, but it seemed the most beautiful day Miri could remember. The sky was achingly blue. The snow that crunched under her boot spread over stone and hillock like spilled cream. The cold made the world feel clean and new, a day for beginnings.

Published!

I'm getting a poem published in The Young Christian Writers magazine!

I won't be able to post it yet, but I will soon.

DragonFire

I finished DragonFire!!!! It is a great book. But something bad happens to the main character. Oh, I was scared it wouldn't come out alright! As I go through the series they get more and more exciting. But I'm sad, for I'm almost done with the series. I ordered the last book from the library. It's just, I can't wait to finish them because I want to know what happens but I don't want one of the best books I've ever read to stop.

Anyway, everyone should read these books!

The City Of Ember

While I waited for DragonFire to come I started to read The City Of Ember. It is really good! It is about an underground city and the people who live there. The people had gone underground for safety and were not allowed to talk about it so that now the present generation does not realize they are living underground and there is the world up here. Will they find their way up when supplies start running out and the lights start going out????????


I'm going to watch the movie when I'm done with the second, and last, book.

They are great books!

Series of Unfortunate Events: Book the Seventh, The Vile Village, By Lemony Snicket

I had started reading this at the same time I was reading DragonKnight, but I put it down so I could finish DragonKnight. But since I finished it last night, I started The Vile Village again. I read the rest of it this morning. I had tried to read this a few years ago but I just couldn't get into it. At the request of a friend, I tried again, and well, he was right. I really liked it. I recommend this book and the rest of the series. The books are:

1. The Bad Beginning
2.The Reptile Room (one of my favorites)
3. The Wide Window
4. The Miserable Mill
5. The Austere Academy (another one of my favorites)
6. The Ersatz Elevator (again, a favorite of mine)
7. The Vile Village

There are 13 in all, but since these are the only ones I've read, (or listened to on tape) I'll only list these. Also, all the books are dedicated to a person named Beatrice. All the dedications are really weird and they are not suppose to be serious. But anyway, in the 7th book, I like the dedication. It says:

For Beatrice-
When we were together I felt breathless.
Now you are.

The books are about three siblings and their lives. A lot of bad (or Unfortunate) things happen to them. Their parents die and they are sent to live with a man named Count Olaf. He tries to kill them to get the fortunes that were left to them. Now, like the dedications, the books are not meant to be serious.

DragonKinght

I finished it!!!!!!!!! It is really, really good! I guess I said this about the other two, but I don't want to say much else because I don't want to ruin it for those who might read it. But I will say this, in the epilogue, I cried two times. Once because I was so sad, and again because I was so happy.

I'm now going to read a few books before the next one comes. They take so long to come because I have to get them from libraries that are far away.
