I think it was a good book because it was way back then and you could see how much things have changed. I also like it because of seaman he listens to every command they tell if i were to have a dog i would have so much fun with him.Last I also like it because his fur color is brown and my second favorite color is brown.

I had not read much about this terrible event until I read this account. I loved the way the author wrote this story about two boys who were best friends who were caught in this earthquake. The author uses many similes and language that completely gives the reader such a sense that you are really there. It is well written and the chapters are short so it is an easy read.

This amazing, coming-of-age story takes you through the remarkable life of Y'Tin--a young boy from Vietnam who has a passion for training elephants! Life is looking hopeful for Y'Tin and it appears like his dream of being the youngest trainer is going to come to pass; that is, until the "war" enters his village. Before you know it, Y'Tin's life is thrown into a whirlwind of survival. Can his dream stay alive? Will he survive? Why...

In Alistair Grim's Odditorium Grubb is a 12-year old boy who works as a chimney sweep, but only receives pitiful amounts of food and beatings from his cruel master. All that changes the day he stows away in a trunk of a wealthy guest at the hotel he is cleaning. He dreams he is flying, and when he wakes up, he finds himself in London in the Odditorium. The Odditorium is full of many magic items-known as odditoria. Grubb becomes Mr. Grim's apprentice. But before long the Odditorium is attacked and they take off flying in order to prevent the magic from falling into evil hands. They must defeat Prince Nightshade, and protect the magic of the world. I liked in this book that there was lots of adventure, and there many different pieces that all fit together at the end-there were partly mysteries. The book wasn't predictable. I didn't like that some issues were not resolved in the book-there was a cliffhanger. This book is part of series, and could not stand by itself. I do know there is a sequel though-I just have to get my hands on it. I recommend this book to adventure lovers and fantasy lovers. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I love this authors book dead end in noorvelt, and I can't wait to read this one. I'm going to try to find it at the library

I really liked this book because it was full of adventure. Emily's mother died and she is an orphan (how sad) and her cruel uncle victor is her only relative. But she isn't just going to give up.... in fact, she meets an boy named Jackson. READ THE BOOK!
