ARTEMIS FOWL

Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy. But he is a criminal mastermind. He is the heir to an excellent fortune, and he plans to increase that fortune. Little Arty bites off more than he can chew when he interferes with the fairy race, and tries to steal their gold. He captures a LEP (Lower Elements Police) elf named Holly and ransoms her for gold. The LEP are forced to make a time stop and then send in a troll and a dwarf named Mulch Diggums, who has an affinity for digging (hence the name).The LEP find out they have also underestimated Artemis Fowl, when he claims he can escape their time stop and their bomb. The LEP decide that Artemis is bluffing, and they don't realize how smart he actually is. In the end he gives up almost half of his gold, in exchange for his mother's health, who is bedridden.

I would give this book a 10 star rating. I give it 10 stars because the story is so well thought out and the graphics in your head are amazing. If I had to, I might take off half a star because sometimes the story moved too fast. Other than that, this book is amazing.

WILD TIMOTHY

     I read a book called Wild Timothy by Gary.L.Blackwood. Its about a boy named Timothy who goes on a camping trip with his dad. He has always been a kind of wimp, so he is not thrilled. Then one day when he is chopping firewood, he gets lost. He hears his dads voice and he runs towards it, forgetting he has an ax. He cuts his leg and he loses his dad.
Now he must find his father versus his worst opponent... a black bear.

Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code

I recently read a book called Artemis Fowl:The Eternity Code. Its about a supergenius who builds a cube.
This cube can do almost anything, from browsing the Internet to hacking government satellites.
Now imagine giving that technology to a corrupt businessman. Pretty bad huh?
Artemis, an elf named Holly Short, a dwarf name Mulch Diggums and a girl named Juliet Butler.
They need to go to the spiro needle to go get the cube. Read Artemis Fowl to Find out how they get the cube back.

Ciao for now. Qasim R

My trip to Outdoor Ed

Hi,
Outdoor ed is/was awesome!
I hiked a mountain!
It was called Pack Monandnock
It was 1,000 feet tall.
I did other stuff too.
We went on a nighttime hike. Our group leaders showed us ways to make light.
We learned three words: bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, and triboluminescence.
 The food at outdoor ed was amazing.The pizza and the brownies were the best.
My entire Outdoor Ed trip was amazing. I will never forget it!

Around The World In 80 Days

                           I'm going to tell you about the book
                   Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Verne 
            In the book, Phileas Fogg and his servant Passepartout set out on a journey; and a mission.
           Their goal is to go around the world in 80 days to win a bet of 20,000 pounds. But some mishaps            end in delay, such as a mistaken detective who thinks Fogg is a robber, an Indian princess awaiting 
          execution, and several missed ships. But when they get back to England, they find out they're 5
          seconds late. But are they? I can't tell you but I'll give you a hint: Think about timezones.
