Azkaban!!!!!!!!!!!! Magical Reunion to Sirius

 I am reading the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I love the way Harry gets reunited to his Godfather. It happens when Harry  is in his 3rd year in Hogwarts. Harry has been seeing these wanted posters of a criminal named Sirius Black. He escaped a high-facility base named AZKABAN. Harry is scared of Sirius, because he heard rumors, that Sirius is on the lose and he is going to kill Harry Potter.

  Harry and his friends dared to go and look for Sirius. When Ron( harry's best friend ) got pulled under a reaping tree, Harry and Hermione went chasing after. When they got in they saw Sirius and Lupin ( Harry's Dark Arts Teacher) Lupin and Sirius seemed to be good friends. Harry was confused until Sirius broke it to him that he is his godfather. This is Harry's only family.

   I thought this part in the book was really touching, because it shows that even if your parents died you still have family. Family and friends.

RED PYRAMID AND THE MAGIC ( Spoiler )

 I have read the book Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan . It is an amazing kind of book , but instead of Greek mythology it has Egyptian Hieroglyphs. It is about a boy and his sister, who find out that there parents were magicians. The kids find out that they are the most powerful wizards when they are together. But when they are separated they don't have so much of a magical impact. They also meet a bunch of Egyptian gods. They
find out that their lovely cat is actually a cat god.
     The boy and girl have to face this evil monster god within the 5 days they have. On the fifth day the monster god is at its strongest hour. That's when he has the most power than everyone. On the fifth day it was his birthday. Last time on his birthday he made a huge sand storm that made the Sahara desert. But at that time the boy's and girl's parents saved the world from ending,  now  its there turn to fight it. The monster came from an old tomb,that the boys dad opened, and now the dad's soul is trapped in it.
 I won't spoil it anymore now you guys better find the ending. Remember magic never ends in books.

Halo as We Knew It

 I read the book Halo The First Strike over the winter break. It was really amazing, with all the Science fiction.
I love the way the author "Karen Traviss" actually made you feel like you are in the story. The way she writes make it feel real. She describes the setting extremely well. She describes every tiny aspect of what's going on in the setting. This is one of the reasons why I thought this book was different from others.
  "Even if the city is smashed to rubble, there was still a decent living to be made from ferrying UNSC..."(pg33) This sentence shows how the city is right after the war. It explains that the whole city turned into a rust yard, and everyone in the city are taking it normal.
   I really like the way she uses her words. It makes it feel like you're in the scene. I love the way she wrote when
the characters were in war. She said how the commander waved the green long flag with a symbol of a spartan helmet. She also said how the characters were knifing and riding there vehicles  .  She also explained how the plane was flying. It was "swarming in the air spinning in twist and turns getting attacked down, still trying to survive. " I thought this book was amazing.
