=Thank you for a comprehensive reading log,Sean. I think your responses are perceptive and knowledgeable. I appreciate the effort you have put into this log. LS = **(Achieved with Merit) ** = = = **The Thirty Nine Clues -Maze of Bones** = **Rick Riordan** **Action/Adventure** **This book is about a couple of kids going to their aunt's** **funeral thinking that they are going to inherit her entire mansion.**

**They get sent on a quest to find the thirty nine clues. They start of with one clue.** **Each team has a clue that's exactly the same same. There are 7 teams** **all looking for the same prize and so the hunt begins.** **Amy and Dan (the two kids) are a little confused at the start but** **they soon get knowledge of the whereabouts of the second clue.** **The author used some language through out the** **book that suddenly gets all excited about what they are** **doing next.** **If I was Dan I would have just unzipped the bag and taken** **the photo of my parents instead of trying to** **pull the whole thing out** **of where it was stuck when the train was coming.** **This book reminds me of when the police where trying to capture Osama BinLaden.** **I think this was a good book and** **recommend it to an eleven-twelve year** **old.** **I rate it four out of five stars.**

** T he Thirty Nine Clues- One False Note ** ** Gordon Korman ** ** Action/Adventure ** ** This book is about Amy and Dan finding the second clue at the beginning and ** ** trying to locate the third clue wile trying not to get killed by their ** ** cousins. Amy and Dan infiltrate a secret Janus headquarters and very ** ** nearly getting trapped inside and die. In the end Amy and Dan gain ** ** the knowledge that the third clue is on a couple of swords hidden inside ** ** a house. ** ** The author used language that sometimes was in another language which ** ** made it interesting but also a bit hard to follow on through out the book. ** ** If I was one of the Janus clan members I would have a harder ** ** entrance than just to play a specific song inside a listening booth ** ** at Venice. ** ** This book reminds me of when I played Assassin's Creed -driving a boat ** ** with your enemies chasing you. ** ** I think this was a good book and **** recom **** mend it to a eleven-thirteen year olds. ** ** I rate it four out of five stars. **


 * The Red Pyramid **
 * Rick Riordan **
 * Action/Mythology **
 * This book is about a couple of kids called Cater and Sadie they are the most **
 * Powerful kids in three thousand years to be born. They were the ones to set things **
 * straight and stop the reign of chaos. As they get closer to controlling **
 * the power of the gods set gets closer to completing his red pyramid **
 * and unleashing the reign of chaos. But Cater and Sadie stop him in his **
 * tracks and keep Apophis in the daunt a little bit longer. **
 * The author used some language that really created a vivid image **
 * in my mind through out the book. This language is descriptive **
 * plus he added a few humorous sentences that made you smile just **
 * before you decided to give up on the book. **
 * This book reminds me of when I used to pretend to fight invisible people **
 * and defeat the leader before he could destroy the world. **
 * I think this is a good book and **** recommend it to a twelve to fourteen year olds. **
 * I rate this book five out of five stars. **


 * Tomorrow When the War Began **
 * John Marsden **
 * Action/Adventure **
 * This book is about a group of teenagers who go on a camping expedition **
 * and luckily don't get captured at the fair. They arrive home and realise **
 * the whole town is deserted, so they soon decide to spit into groups and **
 * explore/investigate what is happening. They arrive at the **
 * meeting point but without Lee. When they find out what exactly is **
 * happening they return to camp and start working out tactics about how **
 * they can fight back. **
 * The author used some language that isn't appropriate for some children. **
 * but apart from that it had language that drew you in every time **
 * you started to get bored. This book reminds me of when I used to **
 * have toy guns and pretend I was an army man. **
 * I think this was an average book and recommend it to a thirteen to **
 * fifteen year olds. **
 * I rate this book three out of five stars. **
