The Mystery of the London Eye
the Mystery of the London Eye
Author Siobhan Dowd
Read 70/323
The mystery is that the main character ted lost his cousin while he was alone on the London
eye. The unknown word I found was lacquered. Lacquered means A liquid made of shellac dissolved in alcohol, or of
synthetic substances, that dries to form a hard protective coating for wood,
metal. She pointed a pink-lacquered fingernail me and at jabbed the air.
North of Nowhere
Author: Liz Kessler, i read 40/217 pages
I and reading the novel North of Nowhere and it is very interesting. I haven't got to the part where she is trying to figure out the mystery of even what the mystery is. I think that the mystery is going to come up soon since she is getting a lot of clues and has found a diary of a girl that is a lot like her.
Unknown word: consoled
The book consoled her at her mothers wedding.

TANGERINE #1
Title: Tangerine
Author: Edward Bloor
Pages: 19/294
Picture:
Summary:
This book is about the main character- Erik- moves with his family to Tangerine, Florida. Which was good for Erik because strange things happened to him in Texas. "One day, he was riding his bike from school when he heard a terrible sound. He turned back to see a black car racing towards him. Someone from the car put out a bat and swang to hit Erik but he dodged it. He saw who it was, it was his older brother, PAUL! He rode home to tell his parents but Paul was already there, doing homework. So, his parents didn't believe him." Was it really Paul? Will this happen to him in Florida?
Review:
So far, this book is really good. It is kind of confusing how this would play into a mystery book because the only thing mysterious that happened was the problem in Texas. It seems like just a boy who is strange. But I think that is special glasses will play into the story some how because they keep mentioning them.

The 13 Treasures
The 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison
Review by: Mai Ness
Pages Read: 86/ 355
Summary:
This book is mainly about these fairies that are bothering the main character named Tanya. Apparently she and few other souls can see them. She tries to find ways to make them go away but the situation just gets worse and worse. She ends up going to her Grandmother's house which she detests and gets lost in the forest with the gardener's son, Fabian. Then she gets in really big trouble for running off and tries to find ways to camouflage herself in the fairies' presence so she doesn't get into that sort of trouble again. She finds a few ways to camouflage her presence while fairies are near, though they take much courage.
Review:
The Mystery novel I chose for the Book Report is "The 13 Treasures" by Michelle Harrison. This book is the first novel in a trilogy consisting of another two books called "The 13 Curses" and "The 13 Secrets" also written by Michelle Harrison.
The beginning is a bit confusing because the book starts with an action, so it was hard to catch up with the plot. As I read deeper into the book, I figured the sections of the book move really slowly. The author describes everything really in depth and the transitions are slow. I read about a quarter of the book and the main character is still describing what bothers her.
This book is a little confusing for me because there are too many things going on at once but also the story is moving slowly. I think the author was focusing more on the setting rather than the character because the setting is really clarified though the character is still a bit unknown.
Overall this book is really interesting and I would recommend it to whoever likes magic and mystery books.

Hercule Poirot's Christmas
Hercule Poirot's Christmas, By Agatha Christie
For My mystery novel book report, I concluded I would read a Mystery Novel by Agatha Christie.
As I was Browsing through the books I found a book the seemed interesting. The name of this
book is, "Hercule Poirot's Christmas" by Agatha Christie. I began to read, and I am currently at page
58 of 334. So far I have found that Agatha Christie is very descriptive when it comes to
describing her characters. The reason I know that s because I am currently at page 57, and the
crime hasn't been committed. But since Agatha Christie, is still describing the suspects/characters,
I feel I am being given a very strong understanding of the characters, and what any possible
motives may be. While I was reading though I came across an interesting word. This word was on page
5, and the word was "Rollicking". This word was used in the sentence, "That bold arrogant jaw, the high bridged nose, The rollicking eye". I have recently looked up the definition of this word, and the definition was something carefree, and joyous.That is All I can say, and have read so far but I will attempt to continue these blogs for the next following weeks.
