Heroes of Olympus

My Rating: *****



My favourite character was Piper because she was a duaghter of Aphrodites (goddess of love). My least favourite character was Khione because she acted nice but she was actually on the bad side.



Something I would like to know after reading this book is did they ever find Percy Jackson?



I felt scared when a cyclops called Phobion came alive and was 60 feet tall. A part that made me laugh was when Piper ate a tofu burger and found out the tofu was uncooked.



In this book, the prophecy was "childre of lightning, beware the Earth, The giants' revenge the seven shall birth, The forge and dive shall break the cage, And death through Hera's rage". I really like this prophecy. I can't wait to go to the library tomorrow to get another book out.

A Wrinkle in Time

My Rating : ****

This book is written by Madeleine L'Engle. My favourite character was Meg because she was a kind and courageous character. She saved her brother, Charles Wallace, from a fearsome, ugly, red pond dragon.

The author wrote about three characters whose names made me laugh. They were Mrs Who, Mrs Whatsit and Mrs Which.

Meg might look ugly but she was a lovely kindhearted character and she was a sweet person.

I read this book while on holiday in Sri Lanka.

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies


My Rating: ***1/2


I got an Amazon Kindle for my birthday on Thursday. My mum downloaded 5 books on it for me. This is the first book I chose to read.


My favourite character was not one of the main characters (Jessie and Evan) because they were mean to each other. Instead my favourite was Megan because she was kind and she had a lovely personality. The book is about Jessie and Evan both wanting to have lemonade stands so they make a bet. On Sunday they will count their money and whoever has the most gets to take the losers money.


The most interesting part of the book was how Jessie and Evan tried to cheat and make each other lose. In the end they decided to make it a draw because there was only 89c between them. They also gave the money to an animal shelter. I liked this part because at my birthday party I didn't want presents but donations to QAWS, the local animal shelter.
