Winter

Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress are rebels. Winter is slowly going mad from not using her bioelectric powers. Her stepmother, Queen Levana,  is the queen of Luna (the moon) and is threatening to take control of the earth after that. Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter are the only ones standing in her way.

Cress

Cress is a shell- a Lunar born with no bioelectrical manipulation, or, in simpler words, no Lunar ability to change her appearance and  manipulate others' minds and bodies. She has been allowed to survive because she is an excellent hacker and programmer. She lives on a satellite going around the Earth and moon. When she is given a task by the Moon's Queen Levana to find the sixteen year old rebel Linh Cinder, her accomplice Carswell Thorne, and their friend Scarlet Benoit, she hides them instead. When she receives a comm from them,she finally gets hope of getting out.

Violence but no swearing or mature themes.

Awkward Poems

Prompted poems can be difficult,
Even if they don't come across as an insult.
It may appear that you were raised in barbarism.
So you should practice writing without plagiarism.
Many times you may need to consult an adult.
I need a sentence with catapult.

What If and Escaping Peril

Two for one! Normally I would just do one blog, but Escaping Peril is so awesome it deserves 10000 blogs, and everyone knows I read it 2 weeks ago.

     What If is an amazing, funny book that demonstrates what would happen when someone with extreme scientific knowledge becomes an Internet cartoonist and answers silly hypothetical questions submitted to him. Questions include:

• How much Force power does Yoda have?
• What would happen if you made a Periodic Table of the Elements out of cube bricks of each element?
• What would happen if a pitcher threw a baseball at 90% the speed of light?

     Escaping Peril is book eight of the Wings of Fire series. Peril has lived her whole life killing other dragons. It didn't bother her until she met Clay. Then her whole life went upside down. She was banished from her home, the person she served went missing, and she is expected to be careful of injuring other dragons with her deadly firescales, instead of them watching out for her. Then she meets Turtle on a mission to impress Clay, get redeemed in the eyes of everyone, and have her banishment revoked. The annoying SeaWing is the only one to like her besides Clay (and Sunny, though she finds the SandWing to annoying to consider a friend), and is determined to follow her on the mission. Peril learns to wonder what makes her herself, and what makes a dragon a hero.

Big Game

Teddy Fitzroy is investigating another crime at FunJungle Zoo. A shot has been fired through the enclosure of a pregnant rhino, and rhino horns are in high demand in the black market. His nemesis, Large Marge, wants to convict him in a candy store robbery, and he has finally been granted permission to investigate, with a threat to his parents' jobs if he doesn't. And Teddy cannot decide between the head cheerleader at school and his friend Summer, daughter of the billionaire who owns it. Which might not be on the same level of importance as catching the attempted murderer before the rhino dies, but it still feels important to him.

Maximum Ride: Schools out-Forever

Maximum Ride is on a mission- to find the families of herself and her friends. Or at least, she was until her friend Fang was injured, they were taken in by an FBI executive, and things generally began spiraling downhill. Now everything is uneasily peaceful. But the Flock is more tense than usual. They have no leads for their parents. And more Erasers- lupine-human hybrids created to destroy avian-human hybrids like the Flock- keep showing up. A Voice inside her head has told her- time and time again- that she is meant to save the world. But how can she start if she doesn't know what she will save it from?

Daydream- SOL 1

  I'm distracted. I can't do work because I can't concentrate. Inside my head, my mind paints a picture. Dragons fight. Not just a duel- a battle, a war, hundreds in my mind. Silver-white and black scales clash in midair. Fire and ice flash in the sky. Both sides are vicious, fighting for nothing but revenge, the cause actually somewhat like one of my mom's Game Of Thrones theories about how a war started. To prevent any spoilers, both in Wings of Fire if the reader reads it (or has read it but has not read Winter Turning yet), and if my mother's theory actually is correct, I won't say why the war started. White IceWings are afraid of what the black NightWings can do, but they keep fighting. NightWings know that they can go extinct in one battle, but they keep fighting. Fighting for loved ones killed and lost. Fighting with such anger they will hate each other for thousands of years to come. They hate, and teach their children to hate, say it was the other's fault. But who's was it really? After a moment, Max taps me on the shoulder, and tells me to get back to work. The daydream is over-at least for now.
