Part 80- Check out….. The Benefits of being an Octopus!
Hello everyone, so in my opinion, I think my blog cam out fairly well yesterday. To be honest, I had written almost all of it a few weeks ago, before not being able to finish it, and I just added my newer thoughts and a finish to it. Still, it came out really nicely. I’m proud of myself. Sadly, I do not have another blog in store for you that will or would have been as good as the last one for you. Right now, I am mentally exhausted. ( I’m trying to say that my brain is tired from working too much.) I just finished my Kumon, and despite how much fun I had with learning the Remainder Theorem and solving so many problems and equations with it I am exhausted. It took out nearly all my energy for today, so I cannot write a lot today. My topic for today was on Legally vs. Ethically. The day I wrote my ICE foreign student blog, I had a discussion on it at dinner. We discussed on how things can be legally right and ethically right, legally right and ethically wrong, and legally wrong and ethically right. I wanted to share what I had learned and related back to the post on that. About the action President Trump did and whether it was one of those. ( The legally right or wrong ) I will instead, write about that tomorrow, and write about something else today.
Part 61- My Book list ( Favorites and most reccommended by me)
Hey!!! It’s a fresh new week and a fresh new start to our blogs! Today, I am going to do the same thing as I did in a more previous blog. Before I did a music recommendation, so now I am going to do a book recommendation. Now, my list might be a little long, so I decided to cut it short and share only the best books out of them all.
Life of 11 year old- Coronavirus lockdown – Part 14
April 8, 2020:
Stuart Gibbs Books
Stuart Gibbs is an amazing author, in my opinion, and his stories are the absolute best and a thriller for mysteries. His stories include, The Funjungle series, The Spy School series, Moon Base Alpha series, The Charlie Thorne series, and the Last Muskateer series. So far I’ve only finished the Funjungle and Moon Base Alpha series and am currently on the Spy School series, and about to finish it, but I hope to read every book he publishes. If you have never read one on his books, I’ve got you covered because I’m going to review each of his books in The Funjungle, Moon Base Alpha, and Spy School series and give a brief summary about what happens throughout the books.
Funjungle Series:
The Funjungle series is 5 books, Belly Up, Poached, Big Game, Panda-Monium, and Lion down. Each book has the same main characters, a twelve year old boy named Teddy Fitzroy whose famous parents work for the largest zoo, Fun Jungle, in Texas, owned by rich J.J. McCracken. Teddy befriends J.J’s daughter, Summer, in Belly Up while trying to crack the mystery of who murdered Henry the Hippo. In Poached they’re trying to find a stolen koala, Big Game, discover who’s trying to kill a rhino, Pana-Monium, who stole their panda when transporting, and in Lion Down, did a mountain lion really kill a dog, or is she innocent. Each time a mystery breaks out, Teddy and Summer are on the case, stepping into danger, threats, blackmail and hungry animals, all in the Funjungle series. In my opinion, Belly Up was the best book. It was a fresh idea, new, and Stuart Gibbs was trying something. The plot was well done and the culprit(s) was unbelievable. How the culprit(s) did their crime and why and who they did it with was just phenomenal. It was a bit boring in the second one. You could easily guess who did it and the reason why wasn’t that exciting. Big game was different, it was like Belly Up but a bit strange. Soe of the clues were misleading and make the mystery better, but the culprit(s)’s didn’t seem to make sense of why they were trusted. In Panda- Monium, the plot and culprit(s) story felt the same with Poached’s, but different. The culprit(s) was a bit obvious, yet the story was still intriguing and humorous. In Lion down, there were two mysteries to be solved, and I was impressed. The culprit(s) were unbelievable and you could see why they did it. The most interesting part was the first clue in the first mystery, and it mixed well with the culprit(s). It wouldn’t matter which book would be the best if judging them as a series as they are all interesting and well done and without every one of them they wouldn’t tie the book together.
Moon Base Alpha:
The three books in this series are Space case, Spaced Out, and Waste of Space. This series actually takes place in the future where we supposedly live on the moon and have a more advanced technology.
The main character is a 12-13 year old boy named Dashiell Gibbson who lives on the moon with his family and groups of other families or scienists, and a jerk trillionare family who are spoiled and rotten. He becomes friends with a girl named Kira Howard. In Space Case the two become friends and solve a mystery on who killed Dr. Holtz. Dashiell discovers another surprise after solving Dr. Holtz’s death, which is a bit unique. Spaced Out is where Dash and Kira are solving to find the moon base commander who has mysteriously disappeared. I think Spaced Out is the best book, because Dash and Kira actually wouldn’t have been able to solve this without Dash’s little sister’s help. The mystery was intense and every small clue was a perfect buildup to the suspense. In Waste of Space, Dash’s 13th birthday is interrupted as the trillionare father is poisoned. This story is full with an interesting solution of who was the poisoner and the smallest clue in the beginnibg which everyone supposedly missed. This book is really good and would have been my favorite, if the ending had not been so sad. The ending was very heartbreaking as the surprise Dashiell discovers is no long with him and had departed. The rest was meant to be fun as it showed the future he has along with Violet’s, his sister, and Kira’s, but the part before that just set a sad voice to read the ending in my head.
Spy School:
The spy school series it the largest, I think, and one with a full different plot than the other series, Funjungle and Moon Base Alpha. The Spy School series is about a 13 year old kid named Ben Ripley who gets recruited to a spy facility for kids, who work for the CIA. There are 7 books, Spy School, Spy Camp, Evil Spy School, Spy Ski School, Spy School Secret Service, Spy school goes south, and Spy School British Invasion. I am currently on Spy School goes Southa and unfortunatley can only go up to Spy School Secret Service. In Spy School, Ben learns how to be a spy with his level 16 math skills and poor reflexes, and developed a crush on top student Erica Hale, who’s family are legendary spies, except one. A new organization called has decided to show themselves, after targeting Ben in the middle of the night, and continues to do so in the whole series. Ben discoveres a mole in the school and tries to thwart the secret organization they work for, who attacked him. In Spy camp, Ben’s in summer camp, and hopefully discovers the secret organizations’s plans while trying to rescue Erica and her grandfather with his new friends. In Evil Spy School, Ben is expelled from school, and recruited to the evil organiztions’s school, where he is actually a mole, rooting out info for the CIA. Ben befriends a rich Chinese buisnessman’s daughter, only as an act to destry her fathers’s work with the evil organization. In this book Stuart Gibbs incorporates skiing, avalanches, girl and friend drama to create a unique story with a twist and a new recruit. Spy School Secret Service is Ben’s lucky oppertunity, and exasperating oppertunity, to be undercover to discover who’s trying to kill the president. He’s a pretend friend of the presidents’s son, only to realize he’s a jerk, making a huge mistake or save along the way. Now on the run, Ben tries to clear his name with Erica, and solve the mystery before he gets caught. My favorite book is a tie between Evil Spy school and Spy School secret service. Both books are full of exciting mystery and drama, that I couldn’t decide which I like better, for now. So far, all of Stuart Gibbs’s books have a bit of romance in them and I personally don’t like romace, yet, the books are so well written or well planned out that they will overpower the romance so all you remember is how the mystery was solved or what it is, and what the story is about.
I have yet to read the rest of the spy school series and all of Stuart Gibbs’s books and hope I do.Stuart Gibbs is such an amazing author who tells remarkable stories, each coated with a full mystery and drama. I hope he creates many more books like he has already published, and they will be even better than the last. I want to Thank him very much for creating these books, becasue without them , I would never have been able to love mysteries as much as I do today, and have a better entertainment to read instead of fantasies. Again, Stuart Gibbs is a truly amazing author who creates the most wonderful and thrilling mysteries, and I hope everyone enjoys his books like I do.
Finishing up the 4th Harry Potter book
Yesterday I finished the 4th Harry Potter book. It is called the Goblet of fire and the next book is called the Order of phoenix. This book is the biggest book in the entire series and has 870 pages even if it has 38 chapters, the 4th book has 733 pages even if it has 37 chapters. I am excited to finish the 5th book and all the other books. My dad has finished all of the books and my mom, is still on the 2nd book which is the chamber of secrets. I am really surprised how I read 4 thick Harry Potter booke and how I am on the 5th book really quickly.
Finishing up the 3d Harry Potter book
Today I finished up the 3rd Harry Potter book. I am on the 4th book now,and it is very thick and it makes things harder to carry. The 4th book is called the Goblet of fire. The third book is called the Prisinor of Azkaban. My mom is on the Chamber of secrets, the 2nd book. My dad read all of the books, he is reading the Half blood prince again. The 4th book has 37chapters, even if the 3rd book has 22 chapters and the 2nd book has 21 chapters. I hope my mom catches up with me because she is a book behind and needs to read more when she has the time.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a boy whose parents died when he was just a baby. He now lives with is mean Aunt and Uncle and his mean Cousin, also known as the Dursleys. Harry Potter goes to a school called Hogwarts and he meets new friends. His best friends are Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. There are 8 movies of Harry Potter and 7 books because the deathly hollows are movies continuing. I got the books on my 6th birthday and my dad is done reading all of them, and I’m on the 2 and my mom is reading the first. Each movie has a problem and they need to solve it. There is a man named Voldemort and he killed Harry’s parents when he was a baby. The last movie is my favorite because Voldemort dies,and it shows Harry Potter sending his kid to Hogwarts like how he got to Hogwarts. This is all about Harry Potter you can read the books to hear what adventures he had.
Speeding to Read
On Tuesday, all the kids in my school went on a field trip to Texas Motor Speedway for Speeding to Read. At Texas Motor Speedway, there were 10 schools. The first annoncement was to tell which schools were which. Then they annonced the youngest race car driver from NASA and he is only 18 years old. There was a big screen and it showed us a armadillo race and the armadillos go faster with screaming power and the armadillo colors were red, wight and blue. They told the kids what speeding to read was all about. Also on the screen were the schools and the kids from every school wore a t-shirt that had like lots of stuff on the back and on the front. On the front were cars and a Speeding to Read sign on it. On the left sleeve of the shirt was the name of the school you are in. Now I know why we need to read in Samuel Beck. Each time we read in Samuel Beck means that you are helping your school earn more points. The announcers said that the school that has the most points wins a Domino’s pizza, a popcorn party and a frozen custard. The school with he most points also wins a huge trophy. I was bored and all sweaty at Texas Motor Speedway so I came back to school unhappy. I want to earn the Domino’s pizza for my school and friends so I’m going to read more everyday.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a boy. Harry Potter is a special kind of boy because he can know what is happenig and what you-know-who is doing. Harry Potter is the main character in the Harry Potter movie. He is famous from the books written by J.K. Rowling and made in a true movie made by someone else. The Harry Potter movie like any kind of movie that says Harry Potter or the movie name that you are looking for and if it is there you can get it and watch it if you are looking for it or just havent seen it yet. I like the last movie because you know who dies and I do not like him beacuase he is mean. Mean people are very wrong and they try to kill people and in the Harry Potter movie dethly hollows part 1 and 2. Harry is trying to protect his friends and his teachers are triying to protect the school . The students like Harry Potter, Hermione and Ron are trying to deafeat the horcrcses . I think that the movie Harry Potter and he deathly hollows part 2 is my favorite because you know who dies and then there is no you know who again.
