Gretzky : An Autobiography (Braille)

Gretzky : An Autobiography (Braille)

By Wayne Gretzky

"Gretzky An Autobiography" is an autobiography written by authors Wayne Gretzky and Rick Reilly with photos are by Vincent Virga. This book has 238 that go through the most important parts of his life like when he got to the very top of the National Hockey League (NHL) being the best. And, the dark times in his life like when parents of his teammates yelled at him for being a puck hog. Or, how he felt when he won the Stanley Cup for the very first time and heard the fans scream his name “Gretzky, Gretzky, Gretzky.” When Wayne played in his youth he made many mistakes like, not letting coaches know what happened off the ice. However, letting this happen helped him fuel his tank with determination so he could drive himself even harder. Although, doing this made his family move everywhere so he can always one up himself. Doing this provided him with a challenge to work on his social skills because he was a very shy kid. It also, helped with training and work ethic to allow him to become a better hockey player and a much better person. I would definitely recommend this book to a fan player or relative of a hockey player because you get to know the game and its history a lot better.If i could ever ask Wayne Gretzky one question face to face it would be, “If you could go back in time and fix one thing what would it be and why?”

He walked and walked until the thirtieth story and gave it to Miss Jewls. it was a computer and she threw it all the way down to show the class what gravity is!

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay

By J.K. Rowling

Ooooookay, here goes nothing… Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (FBAWTFT) was a novel (or script) that I loved/enjoyed. It was nowhere near Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, which was a complete disappointment… No, this is not the Cursed Child anymore because IT IS WRITTEN BY NO OTHER THAN THE AUTHOR HERSELF, JK ROWLING. Pheeeew…. This novel was AMAZING, it was surreal. I loved how JK Rowling based the whole thing on your knowledge of Harry Potter. Ex- Nifflers, Muggles, Ministry Of Magic, etc. ***Characters*** Newt Scamander is nearing the nickname, Lana’s Little Nugget Part 2, right after Ron Weasley. He is such a fragile little person, but ironically he is a full grown adult. I’ll give you a moment to think about that. Tina and Newt were the PERFECT duo. What I loved about this pair is because they love each other… as friends. They care about each other, and they do not fall in love like the typical boy and girl pair. Jacob was a very nice played character. I really liked how JK Rowling included a non-magic person. It was special because Jacob stayed and helped Newt and Tina even though he is not fighting his own battle. Doesn’t make sense? I don’t get it either. Queenie was… interesting. I’ve read about legilimency before in the Harry Potter films. But I’ve never read about a person that can do it so well. Did Voldemort do it well? I don’t think JK Rowling mentioned any of that. Hey! Person that didn’t read this book, this next paragraph contains spoilers…BEWARE….. Credence seems like a not-important-just-ignore-me-constantly-showing-up-kind-of-character. I just feel that he is misunderstood, not evil. In the movie, it shows that Senator Shaw picked up a paper that he dropped and said, Go put this in the garbage where you belong. And then, KABOOOOM. Senator Shaw is dead. Then, Marie Lou threatens him and, BOOM! She is dead. Lesson: Never annoy random squibs that are harnessing their powers. Okay, spoilers are done. You can uncover your eyes. Wait, no I am lying. Just a bit… Graves was…intimidating. Who’ve guessed that he was BEEP,BEEP,BEEP Grindelwald? But, they do have the same hair style so, should I say I saw it coming? Spoilers are done, please sit back in your seat and stop running around like an ostrich. In all, the novel was pretty good. (Oh, and the movie too). Both of these got a solid 4 stars from moi. Until next time, I’ll cry so JK Rowling can write yet another fantastic (beasts) novel.

Then she flung open the door and saw dust go through door at other end of room and the light disappeared again, she went to look at door across room and ripped off boards and saw door with engraving that said," danger do not enter."

Buddy

Buddy

By M.H. Herlong

This book is much more real life and relatable than any other dog book. In my book Buddy a kid named Lil’T who already has a rough life, goes through some more rough time when he decides to get a dog of his own. The dog's name is Buddy. This book takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana. A conflict that he faces is Hurricane Katrina and having to leave his dog behind. When he goes back after the hurricane Buddy is missing! Lil'T really wants to go and look for Buddy but his family thinks that they should first find shelter and a place to live. In this book the antagonist is definitely the hurricane but also Lil'Ts family keeps switching between protagonist and antagonist from different situations. The protagonists are Lil'T and Buddy. Another conflict is that Lil'T has to make a life changing decision for both him and Buddy. Overall I really liked and enjoyed this book. I have read it so many times because of how much I enjoy the story. I really recommend this book and it is a great free read and independent book to enjoy.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy, Book 1: The Hero Revealed

The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy, Book 1: The Hero Revealed

By William Boniface

Well first i thought it was boring. Then i started loving it. It's just about a ordinary kid. expect for the fact that every one is a superhero. Except for Oboy, (thats what real fans call him.) ,he has no power what so ever. He says how every baby doesn't take long to show there superpower. For example. If the baby starts floating they will call him/her floating baby, older Floating Boy/Girl, even older, Floating man/Woman. you get the picture. some parents of kids come up silly names of the book. Its funny really.
