This books setting is taken in England. The teen in this book (Elliot) has decided to change his image from being person that nobody likes to someone that is looked up to, when he moves to a new school. Though when he tries he is then chosen by a group that runs the school, The Guardians, and then is told that if he joins then he shall be the next Guardian. Though he was once a boy who was bullied, his future look more as if he is the one who shall be the bully.

This book is one that I read awhile ago, and actually never finished, so if you have read this book tell me how it ends. It was really good so tell me what you think!! =) Also, you may have noticed how the books I read a while ago I never finished. This is because most of these books are the ones I've read before I actually got into reading and I never thought I would be able to finish them cause I was so slow, though now it takes me a like three days to read something even bigger then these books. It just goes to show that if you practice, it always makes perfect.
Again, Thanx

Book Review (by me)
This blogs is all about books I have read and how excited I am to read. I am a very avid reader, maybe I'm done with a book like Harry Potter in maybe 6 to 10 days. Books I like can range from action and adventure to romance and mystery, though I won't write anything or read anything about vampires or werewolves... So sorry. I like non-fiction teen books and well, any large book. I do, from time to time, read small books though.

Ink Heart
I also read this book in the fifth grade. Though I only read half (page 90) of it and started the book Percy Jackson; The Lightning Thief. (the only reason I started the lightning thief was so I could understand the movie when it came out on my b-day. To my surprise the movie was nothing like the book) I think Ink Heart could have been better if they started the book of with more action. Actually I stopped at the place the action started (and yes a tip, the book starts to get good on page 90 evidently the one I stopped on) I was a bit confused when I read this because the author, Cornelia Funke, would write a small tid bit from other books at the begin of the chapters. I think for readers who are not strong at reading should skip the small info at the beginning because I had a hard time.
Alright, you maybe thinking 'how the heck is she gonna tell me about this book if she didn't even read it?'. Well I watched the movie! Ha... The book is basically about how this man named Mo and his daughter Maggie can read out of books. By this I mean they can read out people and things, like say gold, out of books. Though when something comes out of the book then something has to go in. While Mo was reading a book to Maggie when she was a baby (the book was Ink Heart) their mother/wife was sucked in and three people (hint; bad guys) Basta, Capricorn, and Dustfinger (< he is somewhat good, really just wants to see his family again and will do anything to). Through out the book they meet many people including Aunt Elinor, and Fenoglio. The movie was amazing (*my opinion) and the book must be good. Though I used Wiki to help me with this, so if your not afraid to hear the ending before you read here's the link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkheart
There are three books in this series; Ink Heart, Ink spell, and Ink Death
Thanks

Percy Jackson Series
So, Percy Jackson is a half god half human (son of Greek god Poseidon). He lives at camp half blood and has two best friends, Grover (a satyr) and Annebeth (daughter of Athena). Chiron is the camp director (a centaur). In each book they go on specific quests for specific reasons. The books are by Rick Riordan. He does a lot with gods from Rome, Greece, and Egypt. There are 5 books in the series and it can get bloody. Caution; If your squeamish don't read! The thing is, I eat up these books up so when the next one comes out it will be on this blog. The books in order are;
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief,
Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters,
Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse,
Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth,
Percy Jackson and the last Olympian,

And this year (and last) Rick started a new series about new kids, still in camp half blood and all, but new kids Piper (daughter of Aphrodite) Leo (Son of Hephaestus) and Jason who has a Roman dad (Jupiter; or Zeus). The books are; The Lost Hero, and the Son of Neptune will come out in the Fall of 2011. I recommend reading the books as they go or you will not know what is going on... Thanks! Sorry if I didn't give the best description of the books and who's in them... This book is Highly Recommended to people who like violence, romance and mystery. Also watch the movie though its only based on the book: The Lightning Thief

The Princess Frog
OK, this book is very old to me by now. I read it in fifth grade. The Princess Frog is about a girl who kisses a frog, though she gets turned into a frog. Her grandmother is a witch and as you can tell the girl is a princess. I only remember this much but it is a good series, although I only read two book (and read them in the wrong order for that matter) I give the book a good score because of its unusual twist and ending. Actually the movie The Frog Princess was based on this book, though they don't have that much in common. So I still recommend this book if you hated the movie. The main character is named Emma. She has red hair and is very daring. (that's all I really remember) And if you would like to see the movie its by Disney and most people may know the new Disney Princess TiAnna. That's the movie based on the book. Here are the books in the series in order; The Frog Princess, Dragon's Breath, Once Upon a Curse, No Place For Magic, Salamander Spell, Dragon Princess, Dragon Kiss, and the newest A Prince Among Frogs. Hope you enjoy the book.
