One False Note by Gordon Korman *****


This is the 2nd book of the 39 clues series, it has the same characters, Amy and Dan, they continue their hunt to find the clues, and they go to Venice. In Venice they find that everyone is there too, and then they find a homing device on their cat' collar. They put it on one of of the other people in the competition. They come across the 3rd clue, the first one meant Iron Solute, the second one meant Tungsten, the 39 clues is a formula, each clue gives an ingredient to the formula. They ind out that the 3rd clue is hidden in Tokyo, so they have to go there, and the story will continue in the 3rd book.

My favorite part is when they have to run from the monks because they stole their paper, the monks were running after them like crazy, but then Amy and Dan find out that they didnt need the paper so they give it back. This is a pretty good book, but it gets confusing sometimes.

This is his journal, which is like a diary, and it tells you about his life in 6th grade.

They made a game in which the objective is to knock the rider off the bike. So it starts like this, Rowley has to ride the bike down a steep hill, and Greg will be waiting on the sidewalk and he will try to know Rowley off the bike with a football, the mistake he makes is that he hits Rowley in the head, Rowley falls off, and he lands straight on his arm, and he brakes it.

Death's Shadow by Darren Shan *****

Deaths Shadow is a very good book, it is one of the best books I have ever read, it is about a girl named Bec, who has benn dead for 1600 years, and her spirit went into another persons dead body, Bec was killed by Lord Loss, one of the masters of the Demonata universe, he is a a very strong demon, but now he is not the biggest threat to humanity, now there is another demon, with no name, and no one knows much about him, but have seen him, now he is the scariest demon in the world, and Bec is about to fight him. Bec has a friend, named Beranabus, he is half demon half human, and the new demon is immortal, it cant die, but we can make it go away, and the only way to do that is to fight, demon-demon, in the end Beranabus lets the demon take over in his body and fights the strong demon, but unfortunately, Beranabus dies. Later they find out that the Demon has a force, it is like gravity, but it isnt gravity. It is death. And nobody can kill death. It is a very good book, my suggestion is read it. My favorite part is when Beranabus dies, he was killed by deat, and he was hit by death, so that means he died. He let the demon in his body take over and turn into a demon. Beranabus was alive for 1600 years, because he is a demon, but he is now finnaly death.

Lord Loss by Darren Shan *****


This book is called Lord Loss, and it is the 1st book of the Demonata series, it's protagonist's name is Grubbs Grady, a boy who had just recently lost his parents and sister to demons. He is a scared boy, and was sent to a mental center, the people did not believe him about the demons, he had stayed in the mental center or months, until a man named Dervish came, and he claims to be Grubbs' uncle, and he knows about demons, the main demon is Lord Loss, and he is the antagonist, he killed Grubbs' parents. Grubbs' stayes is Dervish's house, and he meets his first friend, Bill-E, and Bill-E is kind of an orphan, his mom died and he never met his dad, but Bill-E thinks that Dervish is his dad, but Dervish is his uncle, Bill-E is Grubbs' half brother, Bill-E does not know, but he will find out soon. See, the problem is that most of the Grady's have a curse, they turn into werewolves when they are teens. Bill-E turns, Grubbs' is trying to turn him back, but there is only one way, you have to summon Lord Loss and challenge him to a chess match, and if the challenger wins, Lord Loss gets to cure the curse ofone person, he is very good chess player, but a few people have fought him. The rules of Lord Loss' chess games are like this, there are five games, the person who gets most wins win. There have to be two people, one will be playing, and one will have to fight Lord Loss' familiars until the winner is announced. The game started like this, Dervish plays, Grubbs fights, Dervish is playing well but he sees that Grubbs is almost dead, so they switch positions, the scores were 3-2, who do you think won? Grubbs won, and Bill-E gets cured, but there is a twist to the story, the challenger has to go and fight Lord Loss himself in the other universe, and if he wins, he gets to live his normal life again, but if he loses, he will die. Dervish went and survived, suprisingly, and everything lived happily ever after.......but the story continues in the second book! My favorite part is when Bill-E turns into the werewolf, when he is howling and crying. This book is not the best, but it is good.

Characterization of Grubbs Grady (character)

This book is called Lord Loss by Darren Shan. It is about a boy named Grubbs Grady, he has orange hair and he is very big and buff, he is a strong but sometimes he is a coward, he is scared of demons and he is scared of Lord Loss. His parents were killed by demons so he kind of has a reason.
On page 93 it sais "Thats not human" says Grubbs
"I think it is-or was, I cant be sure, but I compared it to the it to a drawing of Abraham Garadex- one of Bart's sons- and I's swear they're one and the sam" Billy says. Garadex's are also Grady's, Garadex just got shortened. That means that the people in the Grady family are turning into werewolves, and Grubbs is scared that tham might happen to him.

Grubbs did not really care about his parents before they died, but now he says that if he could have a wish, he would only wish that he could bring his family back to life, this means that he actually cares about his family now, his parents dieing really made a difference to what he cares about.

Grubbs lives in a place called Carcery Vale (pronounced car-sherry vale), because it says on page 88, "there's an incinerator on the far side of Carcery Vale, Dervish has a key to it. He takes corpses there and burns them when nobody is around". He lives in a big L-shaped house, which has like 10 bedrooms and a 60' flat screen TV in the living room. He likes the house.

Grubbs had been told that most of the family members had been killed by demons, now he has to protect himself. Overall Grubbs is a nice person, but is scared of many things, Darren Shan has done a very good job of bringing Grubbs alive.

Slawter by Darren Shan ****


This book is Slawter, the third book of the Demonata. It is about Grubbs again, and his uncle is invited to see the shooting of a horror movie called Slawter, but Slawter is about the habitat of real demons, and one of the main characters of the movie is Lord Loss. All of Grubbs' actor friends are getting killed one by one, and he is thinking "how is this happening" until he finds a real demon on set, then he knows whats happening. At the end shoot of the movie Lord Loss and his familiars attack everyone, killing and injuring everyone, but Grubbs has to save them, so Grubbs and his uncle start shooting blasts of magic at the demons, but people are still dying, so they make a barrier between the demons and humans, and they try getting everyone they can to the other side. But only 38 people are left, and Grubbs never forgets what happened. My favorite part is when Grubbs turns the light on and off by just looking at it. Read this book.

Bec by Darren Shan........*****



The book's name is Bec and the character's name is Bec too. This book was set in Ireland, in the middle of the fifth century A.D, when St. Patrick was converting Ireland to Christianity. Bec is a girl who lives in a tribe, called the McConn, she had a trainer named Banba, who used to teach her magic, Bec is a priestess, she is a girl who uses magic to kill demons, heal people and attack. She is not actually from the McConn tribe, she is from the McGrigor. Her mother had dies and left her at the McConn area. She is very sad sometimes because she gets visions about her mother and her birth. She is a scared girl. She is also happy, when she defeats the deomns or when she is having fun with her friends. And then, this boy comes among her tribe who won't talk. Instead, he keeps saying 'run fast'. Then, Bec and a few members of her tribe, decide to follow where the boy goes. And then, they meet this guy named Drust, he says he's going on a quest, and he needed help, so he sent the little boy (Bran) to bring them for help. He says he needs to stop the portal of the Demonata. The demonata is a different universe which has alot of demons in it. These demons try crossing the portal between Earth and the Demonata Universe. As they go looking for the portal, two of the tribe members, die by getting tricked by demons. Once they reach the portal, three more tribe members die. Drust tells Bec that she needs to be killed to stop the demons from breaking through the portal. Instead, Bran kills Drust because Bran wouldn't let Drust kill Bec. The portal closes, and Bec gets stuck inside the portal. Bec dies. My favorite part of the book is when the tribe first fight the demons and when Bec heals everyone by her magic. This book is one of the best books i have ever read.

The Earthquake in Jakarta


Yesterday, 2nd semtember 2009, there was an earthquaike in Jakarta, nobody expected or knew about it, but a few animals did. Animals can sense things before humans can, and yesterday a snake came out into JIS with all of us nice kids. But all the people were very freaked out and scared about that creature, but that snake had come out about 2 and a half hours before the earthquake came. That animal sensed the earthquake and was trying to go somewhere, so it went to one of the drains underground. When earthquakes hit the environment, animals come out and things like trees and buildings start shaking. When people are in the environment, people freak out. If you are in a tall building and you are under a chandelier, and the earthquake strikes then.....BOOM. about 38 people had died, probably because something had fall on them or maybe something else happened. It is predicted that more will happen soon, but nothing happened yet. There has also been a tsunami warning here. We are in the ring of fire, which is a place that has natural disasters. That is what happened yesterday.
