Then, a mysterious man, offers her and her brother Seth help with getting rid of the hideous creature in their school. the next night, they learn that the stranger is working for a dangerous society known as the Evening Star, then they are taken back to Fablehaven, where they are introduced to some knew people that are here to help, and also are here to obtain an artifact of great power, that if in the wrong hands, will cause mass destruction all over the world.

The Books in this series, get better and better, as I said before, this is one of my favorite series, each book, has a different ending, but the end with something surprising, from a (spoil alert), to a (spoil alert).
I can't wait for the movie to come out.

I NEED HELP

Most of the books I read, are from suggestion from friends and family. I rarely read a new book without some-one sugesting it, so if you have an I dea For a book for me to read, please suggest it, I would like to read some new books.

what a author really is

During my last review, I realized what authors are truly are, or at least in my opinion. An author is someone with the imagination of a kid, an author is not a kid, but merely someone who has managed to keep his or her imagination alive through out all there lives. there is a saying, in a students mind there are many possibilities, but in the masters mind there are few, I believe that it means that
to some-one who is new, the possibilities are endless, but as we grow older, reality starts to settle in our minds, and the possibilities decrease, authors are those who have managed to keep their imagination intact, and have used it to make a story for those who wish to read them.

When was the last time that you read a book and felt the rush of being chased, or felt the sorrow of someone losing something special to them. When was the last time that you experienced, what the person in the book experienced. To an adult a book is just a book but to a kid it is an adventure. This is what an author is, a person with the imagination of a kid.

The Candy Shop War

This book is about a group of kids, that are given magical candy, that gives them special powers,(no, they are not drugs)to do special favors. They end up In a race, to get a special artifact, that could change the world as we know it. thats all I am going to say about this book.

This book is by one of my favorite authors, Brandon Mull, he also wrotr the Fablehaven series. this is a enjoyable book for everyone, and in a way, it shows that imagination, is very powerfull I give this book 10 outof 10.

I'M BACK

I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but I've had things to do. You see, I just got back from scout camp yesterday. and I think I'll tell you about my adventures there right now.

Now lets see, where to begin... oh I know. On my second day at scout camp, I took the canoeing merit badge, and one of the requirements was to jump out of the canoe , and get back in it with out swamping it, I was probably in the water for about forty minutes when I finally got back in the canoe, and by then it was half-way filled with water then five minutes later it sunk, but hey I still got the merit badge. also that day, I was walking around a table to get my stuff , because I had just earned the carpetry merit badge, and for those of you who don't know it is on of the four original merit badges that are only available for this year since it is the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, any ways where was I oh, yes as I was saying I was walking around a table to get my stuff when my foot got caught on some stools that we had to make for the merit badge, I fell, and my face hit the side of a cardboard box full of nails and screws, my face felt numb for awhile after that.the next day, I was in a canoe and was just about to dock it when my buddy stood on the side of the canoe, and swamped it, I immediately got my watch out and made sure it was not in the water, because I swam in a lake with a watch on last year, and it never worked again, I didn't get revenge on him, because I'm a nice guy
and also because he was in his wet swim suite for the rest of the night, while I was in a different set of clothes.and on the last day, that same buddy tricked me into going up onto where these logs where, for a soda can, i did it, but the soda can was empty.Also, for one of the merit badges, I had to build a shelter that was not a tent, and sleep in it for a whole night I did that, but it was a very cold night, so it was hard to sleep.

Aside from that I had a great time I earn eight of the five merit badges I went there for I earned Emergency Preparedness (a required meit badge for eagle), Carpetry, Pathfinding(another centennial merit badge), Indian Lore, Mammal Study, Insect and Wildlife Managment, Wilderness Survival, and Canoeing.

If you want to know the total number of merit badges I'll tell you right now 34 and a half (the half is because of a partial one of us got) woth only four people in our troop. there are probably troops out there that have more people than us that didn't earn as many merit badges as us.
