Percy Jackson and the last olympian - first post

This book is about a demigod named Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, that lives in the 21st century. It is the last book of five, and Percy is about to become 16. Ever since he got to know about his identity as demigod he has fought dangerous monsters descending from ancient Greek mythology. During the summers, he has lived on a camp along with other demigod children, training and preparing themselves for battles with the monsters. They all have different power depending on which Godly parent they have. Every now and then, Percy and his closest friends, Annabeth daughter of Athena, Grover the satyr, Thalia daughter of Zeus and Tyson the cyclop, have went on different quest, rescuing each other and defeating monsters and titans. Titans is their worst enemies, and this last book is all about the titans- led by Kronos- last effort to destroy Olympus(the Gods holy home place located in New York, Manhattan) and conquer the world.


Long before Percy was born, a prophecy was made, telling that a child of one of the three strongest Gods, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, would either save or destroy the world on his 16th birthday. Those three Gods then made a promise never to have a half-blood child again. None of them kept it, but since Thalia stopped ageing due to a charm, and Hades child is younger than Percy, he is most likely the one the prophecy refers to.


At the start of the book, Percy is with his friend Rachel. They sit together and talk in a car, watching the sun go down, and you get the feeling everything is nice and romantic. Most mortals is unaware of all the abnormous beings and events because of a magic thing called the mist. Some people though, can see through the mist and Rachel is one of them. But when he is just about to kiss her, one of his demigod friends show up on a flying horse and tell him they have to go on a mission against Kronos.


The mission failed and Percy ends up at the bottom of the sea at his father's palace, where Poseidon is fighting a war against the sea titan Oceanus. Percy can of course breathe underwater and wants to help fight decides to leave to prepare for the final battle with Kronos instead...


The story is told without long pauses and at every chapter's end, it is barely possible to stop reading. One moment they are in love watching the sea, next moment they struggle for their life and after that they can travel instantly long distances. I don't quite know if like it, but fast turns and hasty decisions pull the story forward and make it more thrilling every chapter.

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick

I'm reading a novel called Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick.

It's set in a not so distant future in the year of 2021, and most parts of the world are ravaged wastelands where no living being can live due to the radiation poisoning from the nuclear wars during World War Terminus. Only a few places remain and that's where most of the people live. The ones who didn't stay on earth migrated to other planets such as Mars. The places that remain liveable on earth are mostly huge cities with skyscrapers with neonlights lighting up the city. The lights are the only thing i think represents happiness and hope in this novel since everything is just darkness and misery in the broken world. The novel tells us the lives of two men, a bounty hunter called Rick Deckard and John Isidore a man who works as a driver for an animal repair shop. Since the third world war ended, a lot of people have emigrated to other planets and as they do that they receive a so called "Andy". An Andy is an Android which are used in the colonies on Mars as slaves, they look like humans but they do not function as humans. Since they get mistreated as slaves on Mars many of them try to escape to Earth to get rid of the psychological isolation they are being exposed to.


Rick Deckards job as a bounty hunter is to track down these andorids and "retire" them since they can be dangerous, because androids aren't sympathetic and don't react the same way as humans do in certain situations. Earlier androids were easier to detect because of their lack of intelligence, but as the android technology improves it's much more difficult for the bounty hunters to distinguish whether or not it's a human or an android. To do that they make an empathy test called the Voigt Kampff.

By asking questions that would evoke an emotional response. And since the androids aren't sympathetic their response is either feigned or absent. The other main character John Isidore is still on earth due to his low iq. Because everyone has to do an iq test in order to leave Earth and he didn't pass the test. John lives in a deserted apartment all by himself. But one day a girl moves in the apartment below him, the girls name is Pris and she is an android identical in appearance to another android called Rachael which Rick Deckard met at a meeting in Seattle when he was going to test the Voigt Kampff test on the latest android model The Nexus-6. When I read the novel i get some kind of deep insight when I think about the humans in the novel, I mean how do you define a human being?
I think it's not if you are really a human that matters. I think that just having the will to live, as these androids have is a sign of human nature, all the feelings we humans feel gathered all at once as the will to live.


Although the novel is kind of sad it is written in a way that makes you think what's right and wrong and that's what made me interested in the book in the first place.

Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson

I have started to read the book ”Prom”. It’s about a girl named Ashley. Ashley is eighteen years old and is in senior year in high school. She has a flaky boyfriend that wants them to move in together and a crazy family. The senior prom is closing up, and Ashley’s best friend Nat is in the prom committee. For Nat the prom is the most important thing in the world, but Ashley couldn’t care less. One day, during a math lesson, their math teacher gets arrested. It turns out that the teacher has stolen all of the prom money. Without money, no prom. For Nat and everyone that have been longing to the prom, buying dresses and hiring limos, this was a catastrophe. Do they have to cancel the prom, or could they in some way save the evening?


Ashley lives in Philadelphia. She and herfamily live in a decent neighborhood. It is describe like a normal, quite street, with small but nice houses. They aren’t row houses, each house has its own yard. Ashley doesn’t like her house. She says that at first sight it’s pretty nice, but if you look closer, you will get the same feeling as if you saw a nasty wart on somebody’s hand. I get the feeling that the author is trying to tell that Ashley’s family’s house is kind of like the family. At first sight, it’s a pretty normal family, but when you get closer and start to know the family members, you realize that they are far away from normal. A dad that starts project that he never finishes. A mum that keeps getting pregnant and walks around with hickeys on her neck, and three little brothers that are so different that you almost thinks they’re from different families.


Ashley’s school is described as a pretty okay school. When she started there it was really bad. Kids got stabbed, teacher got raped and the janitors smoked drugs during their work. Then they got a new principal that cleaned and fixed the whole school. With new security guards people stopped bringing knives, the school got a food court and the new janitors did their job without getting high. The author never describes how the school building looks, and neither the environment around it. It’s a little bit sad because you can’t live in to the story as well.

Milo's Wolves- first post

I have read to page 62 in the book Milo's Wolves by Jenny Nimmo. The book is about a family who is quite poor. The parents Mary and Milo tells their kids Laura, Polly and Andy one day that they have a long-lost brother. His name is Gwendal. What I know so far about this boy is that he comes from a clinic and he was very sick. What illness he had I haven't found out yet. He is also a "genius" and an "angel". Many wierd thing happens around him, one thing is that a strange man with a grey fedora follows Gwendal. The man says that he wants him.



Gwendal is quite mysterious. Yet, I haven't really found out who he is, just that he is a boy. It feels like he doesn't even know who he is himself. He is trying to fit in to this new family.


Gwendal is smart and caring. He is acctually building a robot all by himself. I noticed that he is caring when Pollys jacket got destroyed with alot of holes in it. Then he suggested that Polly should make more holes in it to make it look good to cheer her up. This also shows that Gwendal has a eye for fashion!




The main charachter in this novel is Gwendal but you're following Lauras thoughts and she tells about what happens. At first, when Laura heard about that she had another brother that was moving in with them, she was very skeptical. She didn't really know how to get used to be having a brother that just pops up like that. But as she gets to know Gwendal better she starts to see him as a brother. Milo and Mary tells Laura, Polly and Andy that it's their real son. Laura can see that Milo is lying because his eyes turns green. In that way Laura is special. As fast as Milo says something, Laura can see if he is lying or not just by looking at his eyes.



Laura starts to cry very easily, as fast as she open her mouth she starts to cry. Okay, she doesn't cry that much but in hard situations she cries. For example, when she, Polly and Gwendal was in the park one day they saw the man with the grey fedora. Laura and Gwendal started to go away but Polly was helping an injured bird. Then suddenly Laura starts to cry just because the man was getting closer and Polly didn't move from her position. She didn't even know the man, he was actually very nice. He helped Polly with the bird. That Laura cries often shows that she is weak. It makes the story annoying but at the same time nice. Usually in these kind of stories, the persons are always brave so I think it's good that Laura really show her feelings.




Andy is the oldest brother and the joker in the family. Always when they have serious conversations Andy puts in a humorous comment. Andy is crazy about hit two rats, Snow and Flake, but they are often running away so Andy has to chase them all around the house. Andy is also very gentle and nice. I noticed that when he offered Polly to have Snow and Flake in her room when she was sad. Andy loves his rats so it was very nice of him to let his sister borrow them.


Andy doesn't talk much with Gwendal. It seems like he has a hard time accepting him but at the same time he respects him.




Polly is a sweet girl. She loves animals and put a lot of efford to help them. For example, when the familys rabbit ran away Polly was devastated so she ran after him. Another example is when she helped the injured bird in the park. Polly is also not so good at listening. It happens the most when Polly is playing with the animals, then she is in her own little world.


Milo has many secrets that he hides by lying. When he is telling something he distorts the truth. I think he's doing it too protect his family.


Mary cares about her family, but I think she has problems seperate right from wrong. I notice that she doesn't wants to keep all this secrets from Laura, Polly and Andy, but she feels that she has to. It feels like Milo stops her from telling the truth...

Mer än så har jag inte läst.

Theodore Boone - first post

I have read to page 70 in the book"Theodore Boone" by John Grisham. The main character in this novel is Theodore Boone. He is a thirteen year old boy who lives in the small city of Strattenburg together with his dog Judge and his parents. He is in the eighth grade and is expected to have straight A's in school, which he has, but Theo is not interested in being in school. He rather skips lesions so he can be in court and watch trials. Theo wants to be a lawyer and he think he is headed for the courtroom. Both of Theodore´s parents are busy lawyers, that is mentioned early in the book and that was the first thing that made me think of them as a rich family. Their lifestyle is described in a way that makes me see that the author wants to create that kind of impression. Theodore´s parents are the owners of a company called Boone & Boone. They have big offices, and even Theo has an own office in the same building as his parents where he can do his homework before he is heading to a restaurant where his family usually eat dinner.
Even though the family members have this kind of lifestyle I don´t believe they´re that different compared to the other people in the book. The whole neighborhood is probably having a similar lifestyle because success seems to be an important thing for everyone where they live. The students have high pressure from their homes, and many parents want their kids to have straight A's. There are also many other lawyers in the neighborhood where Theo lives, and I know that it´s often considered as a well paid career. Theodore and his parents are organized people who live organized lives, they have curtain routines for their everyday. For example, Theo always stops by his parents' office after school, he has to complete his homework before dinner and the family is always eating at seven o'clock. There are almost no exceptions. I believe it´s Theo´s mother who made those rules. It seems to me that his mother wants her life to be perfect, and that includes her family. She is more organized than Mr. Boone. A concrete example is their desks at their office, she has her papers in nice piles while Mr. Boone´s office is more messy. She also tells Theodore every day to smile all the time and she often makes sure that he follows the routines. Another thing that shows that she struggles with being perfect is that she wants to lose ten pounds and she spends much time with her look.
Elsa Miller is the receptionist, secretary and office manager in the company Boone & Boone. She is an important person in for their company, but Theo considers her as a friend. I think her behavior is a little bit like a second mum. For example she comments his clothing and makes sure that he has not the same clothes too often, and she is always sweet and bubbly when she sees Theodore. Maybe she is acting like that because his actual mom is working so much. How old she is haven´t been mentioned, but I know that she has gray hair which says a little bit about her age. She is, like the other women where they live, paying much attention to how she looks. She always matches her outfit with the color of her glasses.
I think the author is describing the characters' enough which helps him convey feelings better to the reader. Sometimes when I read books the descriptions can be too detailed, but in this book they are well balanced. At the same time as he describes people he lets things happen, that´s good for me because I like when much things happens trough the whole book and not only in the end. With this eventful beginning John Grisham has already caught my attention. /Anonymous

Linger - fourth post

This was supposed to be my last text about this book but since I’ve not even read less than half of the book I will write a short last post next week on the Easter holiday.
This time I read about 40 pages and Sam has become nineteen. Grace thought of surprising him on his work with a romantic take-away dinner. But then she realized there is no such place near Mercy Falls, so she went to Subway. Not that romantic but better than nothing. Since Grace’s parents like Sam less and less, so instead of going home they stayed in the bookstore on the private loft.
On Grace’s birthday, the same year as the two of them met, Sam read his favorite poem to Grace. Since then she’s started to read poetry and really liked it. She wanted to thank Sam so she lighted some candle sticks, turned off the lights and laid a paper in his hand. There was a written text by Grace that said that Sam was paid for a singing audition I Duluth.
Sam’s biggest hobby is to sing and play the guitar so he got completely overwhelmed. But the same night, when they were going to bed Grace was very hot. And in the middle of the night Sam woke up by the sound of a screaming and crying Grace. He puts his hand on her forehead and she was burning hot but it was something else to…
She smelled strongly of wolf! When you’re near to change into a wolf you smell like a it.  And in the first book you get to know that Grace had been bitten by a wolf. Later she got looked in their car by her dad. It was so hot that she was cured from being a werewolf. To make Sam cured; they got him a malaria injection when he was transformed into a wolf. At the same time they tried to cure Isabel´s brother but he didn´t make it in his human body.  Sam won’t believe that he no longer transforms into a wolf on the cold parts of the year. But he is still not shore of the cure and worries about it almost all the time. You could say that Sam was prepared that something bad would happen.
When Sam tries to calm Grace, who is asleep sleep, Grace’s parents come into the room and sees Sam in there. They didn’t know he has slept there for the last two months.
Grace’s father tells Sam to go home, away from their house and to think about if he really should contact Grace again. The Brisbane family went to the hospital though both Sam and Grace try to explain the situation. None of the parents were open for any suggestions what so ever. So when Grace needs Sam the most, he has no choice than drive to his own home.
But where is his home? He’s always been at Grace’s place and he was adapted to Mercy Falls so he can’t go to his parents. He decides to go to the bookstore but change his mind and turns the car to the wolf packs house in the woods. There he meets Isabel and the new member of the pack, Cole. Isabel explains that he can’t stay at her place. Her parents will go nuts if they see him so he needs to stay in the house. Like Sam doesn’t have enough of problems as it is! Cole gets a bed and then both guys go to sleep.
In the morning when Sam has gone to work, Cole decides to sneak around a bit. He wants to know more about Sam. In a drawer in the desk he finds Sam’s adoption papers, some documents that say that the house belongs to him and Beck and an article from a newspaper. The text is about why Sam was adopted. His parents had tried to kill him in the bathtub by cutting his wrists with a razorblade. When Cole takes a look at the photos in the house he can see the scares on Sam’s arms. And suddenly Cole doesn’t feel that sorry for himself anymore.
I haven’t got to know Cole so much, but when I read this chapter about Cole’s little mission, I realized I don’t know so much about Sam either. But I still feel like I know Sam extremely well. The author, Maggie Stiefvater, is amazing and she succeeds to write in a way that I can make my own conclusion of Sam.  In my opinion he’s that guy every girl really needs. A guy that’s caring, fun, intelligent, gorgeous (oh yes, he’s very good looking in my mind), confident and radiates calmness around him, but still feels mysterious. If a guy like this is available, I’m the first in line. I really hope these three books will affect the rest of the world and that some good director can make films of them. I will be the first in that line too!

Stormbreaker - fourth and last post

Stormbreaker

A summary of what I have read
In the end he found a way in too the room, when he was in the room he saw the computers,, something was put in the computers but just when he stood there someone grabbed his shoulder, Alex turned around he had a gun in he's hand.
-How are you? He asked
-I'm staying whit Sayler. Alex answered.
The Alex hit the man and run, he have to found a way out. He thought that no one had seen him but then the alarm went on, he run and found a door when he came out he found that he had came were Nadia had found him the first day he was at Sayler Enterprises. He went to he room to get his stuff, when he went out from the room Mr Grin hit him and everything went black.. When he wake up again to men get him to bring him to Mr Sayle. Mr Sayle asked three questions.
      -    Who are you?
-Who have sent you here?
-Who much do you know?
Alex answered
-My name is Alex Rider
-The same people who have send Ian Rider here.
-You have something to do with a real viruses you put it in the computer but I don't know what's next but I guess that when the computers turned on people die and because it's in school it will be school children who die.
Sayler clap his hands and start to tell Alex everything. That he was bullied in school and the boy that bullied him the most grow up to be the prime minster, and he tell Alex that when the computers starts it will kill every school child in the country. When he have tell Alex everything they put him in to a aquarium with a deadly jellyfish. But Alex wasn't stupid he had a cream that he got when he would go here, the cream can burn through every metal. So he took the cream and put it along the edges of the aquarium the glass broke and Alex gets out. He run out and found that a helicopter was about to lift he went into it and when he was in it he use an other thing he got before he get to Sayler Enterprises. It was a pen you could use to get people do what ever you want them to do. So Alex use it on Mr Grin who was flying the helicopter and he said that Mr Grin should fly him to London as fast as he could. When they was in London Alex jumped out off the helicopter and throw out the parachute. He fall down through the glass and in to the room and just when the prime minster should press the button Alex took out a gun and shout  the first shot hit now where the second hit the prime minster in his finger just when he should press the button the third shot hit the button the fourth shot  hit an electrical contact and the fifth and sixth shot hit Sayler when he was on he's why to press the button on he's own. After that everyone looked at Alex and when Alex looked around he couldn't see Sayle randy were, he was gone. Alex went to the MI6 office and there Mr Blunt thank him for what he had done and said to him that he should went back to school and that if they need him again they will contact him. But when Alex went out and jumped in to a taxi it was Herod Sayle in the car, he had a gun in he's hand and he told Alex that if he moved he will shoot him. They drove to a glass-fronted skyscraper, they went up to the top and there it was a helicopter and Mr Sayler told Alex that he will leave England and that this was the end for Alex. But just went Sayler should shoot Alex, Yassen Gregorovich came out of the helicopter and shoot Sayler. Then he fly away.. And that was the end.

What I think about what I have read and the book
This was the most exciting part of the whole book so much happened and that Alex saved the whole country, it must been cool. But in the end I was very surprised that Yassen Gregorovich help Alex and saved his life. I very like this book a lot but it's kind of boring that I already have seen the movie so I know a little about what would happened, but that didn't matter for me I still think the book was exciting and every think that happened in the book didn't happened in the movie.

Summary page 170 to 236

This time has Alex found the mine and he is walking in the tunnel. His only help was the map which Ian rider had draw.

Alex walked and walked and he couldn't see anything and he felt that the tunnel was just getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly Alex felt that he shoes was getting wet, he felt on the ground and noticed that he were standing in water.

The water was just getting deeper and deeper and suddenly Alex had to take a deep breath and swim under the water. He swam for at least 2 minutes but it felt as 2 hours. But after a while could he breathe again.

Alex reached a door and he opened it. Suddenly he could see again. After a while Alex remembered that Ian had done some research on computer viruses. Then he realized that, that was what Sayle was doing. He will kill thousands of children.

Alex had been noticed, a guard sneaked up behind him. But the guard was too close to Alex so even though he had a gun he was an easy match for Alex.
Alex needed to get back to his room but he couldn't swim under the water for such a long time again. But it was one other door across the room; He had to go for it.

There were a couple of guards on the other side of the room and Yassen the contract killer. Alex ran across the room, he knew that he had been seen. He saw one of the silver bags and ran and opened one of them and took out a cup. It was probably very important because everyone stopped and told him to be careful.  

Alex saw his shoot; he backed slowly to the door and opened it and threw the cup to Yassen. He ran out but Mr. Grin Salyes assistant stood in his way.
Mr. Grin took him to Sayle, and the first thing he said was'' Who do you work for? How much do you know? Alex didn't tell him directly but after a while he had to say it or else he would die.

He said, I know everything and I work for the m16. At the beginning Sayle laughed but when he was done he told Alex his plane. He had put a computer virus in the computer so when the computers go online every schoolchild will die because every school in the country got a Stormbreaker computer.

Alex asked why he would do that. Sayle gladly answered, when I was a kid I was bullied. And after a while was I adopted and had to go to England. I was very happy but the first day as I got to school I was bullied again. And do you know who the worst of the bullies grew up to be? , the prime minister of England.

I have planned my revenge all these years. And guess who will press the bottom that makes all the computers go online, the prime minister. It all will happen tomorrow.
Sayle left and let Mr. Grin take care of Alex. He kept Alex for a long time but Alex succeed to break free and beat down Mr. Grin.

Alex ran after Sayle and he manage to get to the place where the prime minister should press the bottom. At the last second Alex took one of the guards gun and shoot on the bottom, luckily it broke.

Sayle ran away and flew up in a tower and Alex was right behind him. Alex couldn't find Sayle so he went outside and when he wasn't ready Sayle putted Alex in the back so that he felled down.
On the way down Alex grabbed a rod. He was now hanging a few hundred meters up in the air. Sayle walked to him laughing at the same time.
Both of them heard a noise, it was helicopter with Yassen in it. Yassen shot Sayle and grabbed Alex hand and helped him up.

Alex was very angry at Yassen because he killed Ian but Alex couldn't do anything. But he had saved every schoolchild in England, m16 and jack stood on the ground and was very happy and proud.


I think the book was very good. But some chapters were better than others. I really recommend  to read the book.

Twilight - fjärde inlägget

Jag har läst hela boken nu.
Nu är Bella ihop med Edward. Och Jacob tycker inte att det okej att vara ihop med honom för han är vampyr.

Och för att de inte skulle ta henne och dricka hennes blod måste hon flytta bort och då måste hon lämna hennes pappa.
Och när de var fram ringde en vampyr det var han som ville döda henne. Han sa till henne att hennes mamma är med honom och att han skulle mörda henne och när hon var där så var inte hennes mamma där. Sen kom Edward och räddade henne. Sen flydde de.

Skämmerskans dotter - fjärde inlägget

Skämmerskans dotter. 210 av 210 sidor.


Dinas mor är dömd till döden. Nu är det bråttom om hon ska hinna rädda henne. Till en början ser allting ljust ut. Allting går enligt planerna tills Dina råkar visa sina skämmarögon. Hon blir tillfångatagen av hårdhänta vakter. Hur ska hon ta sig ur det här? Med hjälp av sina ögon tar hon sig därifrån. Men än är det inte över. Hon förföljs genom Dunark. Tillslut lyckas hon skaka av sig sina förföljare, och hitta någonstans att gömma sig. På sitt gömställe möter hon en annan flicka, som hon bestämmer sig för att lita på. Tillsammans lyckas de ta sig till en ung dams, som kallas Änkan, hus. Denna har Dina redan träffat, och vet att hon kan lita på. Nu är det sista rycket i planen att rädda hennes mor.

Jag tycker att den här boken är väldigt bra. Det är alltid något som händer, utan att det för den sakens skull blir jobbigt att hänga med. Värd att läsa.

Coraline - third post

Summary

Okay… so Coraline is trapped in the mirror in the end of the corridor. And she was almost ready to cry, when she heard something. Was it a voice?
-          Hush! And shush say nothing for the beldam can hear you! Said the random voice in the dark.
And suddenly, Coraline felt someone touched her shoulder. Then another voice said
-          Are you alive?
-          Yes… answered Coraline.
-          Poor child said the first voice again.
-          Who are you? Asked coralline.
-          Names, names, names said one of the voices, all far away and lost. The names are the first things to go, after the breath is gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names. I still keep pictures of my real mother… told the first voice.
Coraline listen, and began to see something in the dark.  She thought she saw three pale shapes, three children in her own age, one boy and two girls and they were ghosts. And they told Coraline that the other mother had treated them, like she does with Coraline, she also took their hearts and souls and then she leaved them in the dark mirror.
-          You must flee! Flee while you can! Said one of the ghost girls.
-          No, I'm not running away! She has my parents!
The ghost tries to prevail Coraline to listen and that it's impossible, but she won't stay. And when they realized that, they asked if Coraline could free their souls instead which the other mother had taken.
-          But what is the other mother going to do with me? Asked Coraline.
-          She will take your life and all you cares for, she will leave you here, and one day you´ll awake and your heart and soul will be gone. So you must flee! Answered one of the ghosts.
-          No, I'm tired of running away, it doesn't work anyway said Coraline.
And the last thing, the ghosts told Coraline before she fell asleep was:
-          Look through the stone with the hole in it.

In this chapter of the book describes Neil Gaiman the environment around Coraline very good.
So good that you can almost se it with your own eyes.  And it's so exciting to read the book! It always happens things you never could imagine, almost scary and nasty stuffs thou.
Sometimes It gives me shivers, and I want to put the book behind me on my ´wardrobe, but I can't because its so exciting!  But now, back to the summery, when Coraline gets out of the mirror…

Well, the other mother had pushed away the magic mirror portal and starred down at Coraline when she was asleep. And picked her up and carried her to the kitchen and dropped her on a chair.
Coraline woke up and discovered that she was in the kitchen with the other mother.  She got breakfast and ate it up. Then she asked if the other mother wanted to play a game, but not an ordinary game, it was an exploring game. Coraline challenged the other mother just as the cat told her to do, and offered herself as a price if she would lose. But if she won, Coraline wanted her parents back and the ghosts in the mirror released.
-          A deal, and it won't hurt you … said the other mother.
-          So, where should I start looking, said Coraline.
-          Where you wish, answered the other mother like she didn't care. She sat down on a chair and looked at Coraline, while she tapped the fingers gently, tap-tap-tap, against the table.
Coraline turned around for a second and when she looked back was the other mother gone, and realized that the tap-tap noise came from the water tap. Coraline shivered and took up the stone with the hole in it, and walked upstairs to her room, but she didn't find anything. So she went outside instead.
 And walked to Miss Spink and Miss Forcible´s flat. (The other two old ladies who lived in the same house as Coraline) she went down the steps and trough the door. It was as dark as the grave in there, and she didn't see Miss Spink or Forcible. She went in to the great theatre hall, and looked up to the ceiling. There was something who hang there. It looked liked dog-bats, dogs with wings like bats and who hanged upside-down.    
And then at the middle of the stage was something else. Coraline remembered the ghost voice who told her to look through the stone. So she put the stone in front of her eye and looked through it. And then she saw a green light from the stage. There was something behind the back wall. It was grayish-white and big. Coraline walked forward to the thing. And she was very scared. She got closer to the thing, it looked like a sac like a spider´s egg-case. And inside the sac was something that looked like a person, but a person with two hands…

Okay, I have read this far and I can nearly stop. It's so exciting! And I don't know what to expect. As I said earlier you can´t imagine what will happened next. But I fell like something important and big will happen.
And when it happen maybe someone will come and save her, or maybe she gets out of it by her own. I don't know but I can't wait to find out! So you will see what happened to Coraline in my next post.

Measle Stubbs och vredesmunken - fjärde inlägget

Jag har läst 17 sidor. Det handlar fortfarande om trädgårdtomten. Vredesmunkarna börja stör sig ganska mycket på tomten. Helt plötsligt tog han fram en grön gnista och började göra konstiga saker mot munkarna. Som att förstelna dom. När tomten hade gjort det på alla så sa han - Jag har hört att ni vill utplåna familjen stubbs, det vill jag också. Vill gå me på att vi sammarbetar under min ledning ? Munkarna tvekade, sedan gick dom me på det..

Justin Case - fjärde inlägget

Jag har läst ut boken.


Justin vaknade en morgon med en rejäl huvudvärk men han trodde den skulle gå över under dagen. Den dagen hade han löpträning. När han kom till skolan var det dags, han och Peter gick ner till löpbanan.
 Han och Peter hade sprungit ett tag när han började känna sig lite illamående. Han viskade till Peter att han inte mådde bra. Sedan föll han ihop på marken och låg orörlig tills han började spy galla.


Justin fördes in till sjukhuset och fick diagnosen 'hjärnhinneinflammation'. En mycket dödlig sjukdom, men man kunde bli frisk om man hade tur. Han låg där medvetslös i många veckor. Hans familj och vänner kom dit ibland för att hälsa på. Hans bror fick hunden men gav tillbaka den till Justin.


Det var ungefär så boken slutade. Han låg där och blinkade mot hunden, och sen var det slut. Mycket dåligt slut om man frågar mig. Vad hände med Justin och Agnes? Blev han någonsin frisk? Och sen stod det något om att hans bror lärde sig flyga, vad nu de menar med det. Jag förstod inte mycket av denna bok på slutet. Jag har försökt fundera på vad författaren vill ge ut med denna bok men jag  kommer inte på nåt.
