The Lightning Fart: A Parody of The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Book 1)

The Lightning Fart: A Parody of The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Book 1)

By Steve Lookner

Ok, this stinks. First of all, I'm a huge fan of Rick Riordan and I do not like his holy books being insulted this way. Second of all, this is a total copy. Yeah, I'm really offended and so mad. If I had the permission, I'd sue this Stinkin Steve. And I think this is an unofficial book, he'd need to get copyright from Rick Riordan.

Warren the 13th and The All-Seeing Eye: A Novel

Warren the 13th and The All-Seeing Eye: A Novel

By Tania del Rio

"Welcome to the Warren Hotel.." Prepare to enter the secluded world of Warren the 13th, an odd-looking errand boy at the Warren Hotel. Warren can remember much better days at the Warren Hotel - generations and generations of Warrens took care of the hotel, with guests coming all over the world to stay at the famous hotel. But when Warren's father, Warren the 12th, unfortunately passed away, Warren's uncle Rupert inherited the hotel. Needless to say, things went downhill fast after that, and Warren's days became a living nightmare - especially because of Uncle Rupert's wife, Aunt Annaconda. Even though Aunt Annaconda acts lovey-dovey and perfectly sweet in front of Uncle Rupert, Warren knows the real reason she's here - she wants to find an old myth, the All-Seeing Eye, which is rumoured to be hidden somewhere in the hotel. Warren the 13th has been living a horrible life for twelve years.. but that possibly might change when the first guest in years stays at the hotel! It's a mysterious man covered in gauze, coats, and hats. But when Warren gets sent to the hotel hedge mazes as a punishment, he discovers Warren the 2nd's diary.. which is first of the many clues Warren discovers as he realizes that the All-Seeing Eye has the immense power to destroy the hotel.. or maybe even save it? But what Warren doesn't know that Aunt Annaconda is a very wicked witch, and is set on destroying the hotel and him along with it. Will Warren find the most unlikely allies and have a great adventure to save the hotel, or will he go down as only a pawn in Aunt Annaconda's master plan? I can't deny it - when I first picked up this book, I did not know what to expect. But when I finally decided to open it, I was transported into a world.. like ours, but in another dimension, almost. This book is almost like a manuscript straight out of someone's imagination, with all those fantastical creatures roaming around and secrets around every page! Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye is an incredibly, incredibly creative book - it keeps you on your toes on every page because of the mystery surrounding everything! This book is delightful and charming, and when you think of those words, I think you think of a book that's sort of lightweight, but this book has deeper elements. It has horror, a bit of mystery, betrayal, and things that seem to "highlight" the book and give it depth. Another thing that surprised me was that I thought it was going to be strictly fantasy based on the cover, but it surprised me! It was a blend with nearly all of the genres - even romance (very, very, very corny romance) between Annaconda and Rupert! Even though this is aimed at children, I think all readers can enjoy this amazing read.. And I almost forgot to mention that there is a character named Sketchy, and he is such a sweetheart!

Warriors: The Broken Code #2: The Silent Thaw

Warriors: The Broken Code #2: The Silent Thaw

By Erin Hunter

"The Silent Thaw" by Erin Hunter, who is not an actual human but is actually several life forms, continues the tale of THE BROKEN COKE arc. The story so far is that StarClan, the spirits of all previous clan cats gathered together, is not speaking to Clan Cats anymore. This is very bad because StarClan has special powers of foresight and are very intelligent. Now, Bramblestar, who has just lost a life and so says he knows important info, is telling everyone that Code breakers, that eez, cats who have broken the very important code of honor, should be punished. Then the book tells of how cats from all clans are uniting to fight Bramblestar in secret. Some cats also know a fact that is unthinkable, Bramblestar is actually not Bramblestar! What does that mean? You will have to find out by reading the book. This book told me about the importance of standing up for what you believe in, which is a very important message for young readers, hmmm. That is very educational! The author used concise language that was easy to understand and read, but it could have been more elegant or something. The characters' feelings were portrayed very well, especially Rootpaw worrying about how his father is not like a Clan cat. Very eenteresting story, good for cat people but maybe for dog people too. It shall make you like cats. Also great for humans wanting a book full of plot and with lots of events.

Pokemon: Essential Handbook

Pokemon: Essential Handbook

By Scholastic, Cris Silvestri

I got this book when I was a mere youngling- 7 years later, I'm still obsessed with it! It's incredibly informative, and I especially like the pronunciations (who knew I'd been pronouncing Yveltal wrong all these years?) and how easy it is to navigate through all the Pokemon. A must-have for any Pokefan!
