The Good Dog

Who’s up for a doggie book? Enter, McKinley! McKinley is the head dog of his town. However, when a wolf, Lupin, comes into his town, and asks the dogs to join her wolf pack, his simple life is turned upside down.

Pycraft has long abused his dog, Duchess. Every dog knew it. So none of them were surprised when Duchess ran away. What was surprising was that Pycraft wanted to find Duchess!

McKinley knows he can’t let that happen, and so he sets off to warn Duchess. To his dismay, he finds a wolf! Lupin had befriended Duchess, and so when Redburn, one of McKinley’s rivals, sets out to track her down, McKinley and his friend, Aspen, help Lupin back to her wilderness where Duchess eventually joins her.

Redburn challenges McKinley at a council of the dogs. He proclaims that since McKinley had submitted to the powerful she-wolf, he is no longer eligible to be head dog. He further argued that since humans fed them and gave them shelter, the dogs must give their owners complete, slave-like obedience, and do whatever they wish.

Challenged, betrayed, and in trouble with his human pup, what’s a dog to do?

The Magician

The immortal Nicholas Flamel, did you say? That’s a name I’ve not heard in years… hmmn, what was that? Oh, very well. If you insist.

Nicholas and Perry Flamel are ‘humani’ who have found a spell to make them immortal, but it needs to be renewed every month. The Codex, the book that contained the spell, and also many other dangerous items, was stolen by Machiavelli and his cronies. Machiavelli is a servant to the Elders, powerful immortals who want to rule the earth.

Now it is up to Sophie and Josh Newman, the twins in the prophecy written in the Codex. Sophie’s powers have been Awakened, but not Josh’s.

How desperate is Josh for his powers to be Awakened?
Desperate enough… to betray his sister?

Charlotte and Emily Bronte the Complete Novels

Hundreds of people were thrilled by Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is a classic that can be read over and over.

I don’t know about you, but when I read Jane Eyre, I thought something was missing. It felt a little too short. A few years after that, my parents bought me Charlotte and Emily Bronte, the complete novels. I didn’t read them then, but a month ago I saw the book and I read it. Let me tell you the publishers cut out so much when they re-wrote it. The Jane Eyre I read was filled with description, and I wondered how any one could have got rid of so much of a good thing. In other words, I loved it.

What was more, Wuthering Heights and Shirley were also included.

Wuthering Heights was… incredible. I would constantly get mad at Heathcliff, or Linton. Any why were the women such scaredys? They had no backbone! But as many times as I promised myself I would never read it again, I always found myself standing in front of my book shelf, taking it out of lonely exile in the cupboard under my bookshelf.

And Shirley was so funny. Now these women were bold adventurers who didn’t get bossed around by their men folk! Caroline, an orphan raised by her uncle, is in love with her cousin Robert… but he doesn’t love her back.

Love sick, she falls ill, and it is almost certain she will die. Along comes Shirley, a perky little heiress with tons of money who befriends Caroline. With her comes Mrs. Pryor, who nurses Caroline and eventually tells her that she is her mother!

Upon hearing this, Caroline quickly gets better. After a good many chapters, she and Robert are friends once more. When Louis, Robert’s look-alike brother appears on scene, Shirley’s character is doubted. Can the heiress ever truly love anyone?

Writing Magic

Have you ever wished you could write well?

I’m talking like really good like National bestselling good.

Well, now you can!

In Writing Magic by Carson Gail, you can read in a funny way on how exactly you can become a fabulous writer!Practice writing little stories, write interesting beginnings, read helpful tips and get little hints. And whatever you do, always write junk!

I have always wanted to be a writer, and I would get good ideas for a story, but after a while I would find that I was forcing myself to write more, and because I was doing that, instead of simply having fun, I began to hate my work.

I would get lots of little ideas, but since I was working on something else, I wouldn’t let myself work on something else. And by the time I finished, or simply gave up, which was more often the case, I would have forgotten the idea I’d had, and then I would have to think hard and make my story be written, instead of the ideas coming to me, I had to make the ideas.

After reading Writing Magic, I am more confident in writing, and I know it’s OK to write quick little stories even if you’re working on something else. It worked wonders for me, and if you’re a wanna-be writer it will help you too!

Math Doesn't Suck

Who says math has to be boring and dry?

Now, thanks to Danica Mckellar, math can be fun and exiting! Take me, living proof: I hate math. More correctly, I hate some areas in math. Not all parts of math.
After reading Danica’s fabulous book, I am actually starting to ‘get’ math.

Before: When the dreadful 'm' word came up, I would run and hide, or make some excuse so I wouldn’t have to do it. “I feel sick”. “I’m doing something”. “I will.” And then promptly forgot about it.

Present: I delight in geometry, love circumference, and often write down an a problem in the margins of my papers.

Behold, a miracle has occurred!

When I would make a mistake, I would be mad, because it meant I had to redo the problem. Now I am disappointed purely because I didn’t get it right!

A miracle has come out of the sky in the form of Danica Mckellar’s National bestseller book, Math Doesn’t Suck! Read and rejoice!
