This is an amazing book! It is about a boy, named Ephraim, who's ancestors searched for the mystical Fountain of Youth. It contains three families: Appledore- Smith, the Darlings who are the caretakers of the water castle, and the "rival", the Wylies. They all live in a town called Crystal Springs. Crystal Springs is an odd place. Everyone there lives over a 100 years old and the area is full of radiation. Ephriam Appledore-Smith moved to the water castle in Crystal Springs due to his father who has a severe medical issue. The house is full of strange extensions and a humming sound. He later learns of the curing water of the Fountain of Youth. Will it cure his father? He sets out for help from Will Wylie and Mallory Green/Darlings. Together the trio get trapped between the endless school work of reality and the mystical Fountain of Youth.

What an exciting book! Makes you think differently about your birthday wishes! ;) Benjamin is a great character and I can't wait to read about his in the next books! Highly recommend.

The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen is an enjoyable book written by Lloyd Alexander. Jen, a Prince from the Tang dynasty of China, is on a journey to seek advice from Yuan-Ming, the ruler of this magnificent kingdom named Tien-Kuo. To prove himself a worthy person to Yuan-Ming, he took six priceless items , a saddle, a sword, a paint box, a bowl, a kite, and a flute, as gift to Yuan-Ming. Along with the help of Mafoo, his faithful servant, and an adventurous girl named Voyaging Moon, Jen sets out on a disastrous journey full of bandits and countless mountains to climb. I think that this novel was interesting to read, it contains a lot of action and description; however it is a very disorganized book. Primarily, I specifically do not like historical fiction books that has an unreasonable plot. The Remarkable journey of Prince Jen was perplexing from the start as the plot explained about a series of actions that are very unrealistic for the setting that it occurs in. The storyline also contains much information and has many twists and turns along the way that confused me. Lastly, a lot of the words in the book are weird when read, it seems like as if the author translated part of the book from Chinese to English, which didn’t make any sense.

I want to read this book. It sounds like it will be funny. Herobrine is awesome.

i love the movie but the book its amazing OMG its so awesome!!!!! :)

I absolutely loved this book! I thought it was very dramatic and had lots of suspense. I loved how the characters changed and grew from the beginning to the end of the story. I also really liked how the main character Dan was able to take charge and be the "man" in the family. I would highly recommend this book to any 4th grade student!
