Marguerite Henry writes wonderful books about horses, and this one is by far my favorite. It is about a brother and sister named Paul and Maureen who have their hearts set on buying the horse that everyone calls Phantom. They want to buy her at the annual Pony Penning Day. For years no one has been able to catch her because she always slips out of their grasp and is believed to be a "Phantom". But this year Paul is finally old enough to go over to Chincoteague island and round up the horses with all the other men. The stakes aren't exactly fair for the Phantom though, because she has a colt! Paul and Maureen have saved enough money for the Phantom, but they hadn't realized they would have to buy the colt too. This is a great story that shows you that not everything is meant to be in captivity, some things are just wild.

The book was really interesting since I review aiplane accidents with my squadron.

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.

Warning: If you are a little kid DO NOT READ THIS (younger than 13) this tale is indeed dark and indeed Grimm. It is dark, yes, but awesome. (Quote from book) This is the true story of Hansel and Gretal-and a bit before them as well. None of this would have happened if not for the First Raven, Second Raven, and Third Raven. As you venture through the TRUE story of Hansel and Gretal, a narrator accompanys you, making everything more opinion-based but hilarious. Little Hansel and Gretal leave at age five from the castle to go find better parents. This is the story of everything in the past, present, and future.

Deep water is a very good book and is a very adventuring book.

The Upside-down Magic class are going on their first overnight field trip to Dragon Haven! Nory, Andres, and their classmates get to feed the dragons, fly with them, and even swim with them! They even might get to see a newborn dragon hatch at the Hatchery! But, there was also going to be another class visiting Dragon Haven. Fun events like bonfires and breakfasts with your pajamas wasn't going to be as fun with a fancy academy students.

This was my favorite book of the series. Mainly because it had a ton of action and it was very unpredictable. Anthony Horowitz put a ton of different perspectives into this book, and adds tons of new characters. What happened was at the end of Necropolis, the 5 got all separated and blown to different places by a Signal 10 typhoon. It also created a leap in time that was 10 years in the future. None of them aged, but the people all around them did age. Now they are very desperate to find each other since humanity has destroyed themselves and when the old ones come, the whole world will end. And only they can stop what is happening. I actually read it slowly on purpose just so I could enjoy it. I thought that this book was the best book in the series, and luckily, it was the longest.

I love this book!!

I rated this book a 4 because it is not something I would usually read but it was a great book. It is a story based on a girl named Ann Frank. In the story ann's master goes into dept and as to sell his slave to save himself. But Ann wants to keep her family together to they are forced to try and escape through to the underground railroad. If you like my description you should probably read it. It's a good book you won't regret it.

Folan the wolf is awesome! He is a gnaw wolf who earned a spot in the watch of the ring of sacred volcanos! YAY FOLAN!!!!
