If you have not read Inkheart yet don’t read this book. This book starts when a man named Orpheus helps read Dustfinger back to the Inkworld so he could escape from Basta. However, Orpheus didn’t read Dustfinger’s apprentice, Farid, into the Inkworld. Orpheus also plans to read Basta into eh Inkworld. Because of this, Farid goes to Elinor’s house and asks Meggie to read him to the book so he can warn Dustfinger. In the process, Meggie is also sent to the Inkworld where she finds Fenoglio, the author of Inkheart. Later, Mo, Resa, Mortola, and Basta are sent to the Inkworld. Mo is shot by Mortola when they arrive. Soon everyone in Inkworld thinks that Mo is a robber named the Bluejay, who is a character in some of their songs. Meggie, Mo and Resa try to find each other while Fenoglio looks for ways to fix the problems in the story because the good side seems to lose their leaders.I didn’t like that much because the begining was boring and there were too many bad words so I would say this is not a good book for those whose parents don’t allow to read books with many bad words, though I would say that it would suit both boys and girls.

The story The White Fox Chronicles started when Cody Pierce, a fourteen year old boy, was a servant for the evil Confederation of Consolidated Republics (CCR) in the year 2057. The Americans were almost extinct but there were some rebels left and the CCR was taking control of the whole world. Cody was captured by the CCR a year ago and brought to the camp. He was not able to leave the camp so he and Luther, another captured American, made a plan to escape. Cody wanted to get Major McLaughlin, another captured American out of the camp too. At night, they sneaked out a tunnel Cody and Luther had made. They escaped to an army base where Major McLaughlin’s solders lived.

In the next chronicle, Cody left McLaughlin’s base and tried to get the other servants out of the CCR camp. On the way there, he was captured by a group and taken to the group’s base. He then ran into his old friend Franklin and found out that Franklin was the leader of the group. Franklin and his assistant, Rico, trained Cody how to become a skilled fighter. One day, the CCR came and killed everybody in the group except Cody because he was hiding. Then Cody came out from his hiding spot and killed all the CCR solders there and destroyed Franklin’s base.

In the last chronicle, Cody fainted while he was traveling in the desert. A group of Americans found him and took him to their hideout. When Cody recovered, he was asked to train the kids in the camp. As time passed, the kids were able to use guns and other weapons. Then, one of the kids was kidnapped by the CCR and taken to the same CCR camp Cody used to be in. Cody set up a plan to rescue the child and other innocent people in the camp and to destroy the CCR camp. The plan put all of the lives of the people in Cody’s camp in danger. Will Cody be able to follow the steps of the plan to rescue the child and destroy the CCR’s camp? Will the CCR kill the child before Cody makes it to the CCR’s camp? Will this be Cody’s last battle? Read The White Fox Chronicles to find out. The interesting thing is that Gary Paulsen wrote this book. There are three sequential chronicles in this book. Mostly boys would enjoy this book because this book has lots of fighting scenes.

This book is about mischief, dragons, and every once in a while some Pervish cooking. The main character’s name is Skeeve. He is a magician in training, you could also say he’s an apprentice. Garkin is his master. When he summoned a demon, an arrow shot him! Isstvan ordered the person who killed Garkin to do so. All Skeeve knows how to do is levitate a feather and light a candle. That’s not enough to fight a demon. Good news. The demon isn’t mean. In fact, he is Garkin’s friend. His name is Aahz. Also, Aahz is from Perv, which makes him a Pervect. Aahz tells Skeeve he will teach him magik if he helps kill Isstvan. Skeeve agrees. When Aahz tries to do magik, he can’t! Apparently, Aahz and Garkin use to play little jokes on each other, and now it is taking away Aahz’s powers. Garkin is the only one that can take the spell off, but he’s dead! Skeeve is Aahz’s last hope of killing Isstvan. Will Skeeve be able to learn enough to beat Isstvan in time? Will Aahz get his powers back? If so, will he use them to earn money, or to beat Isstvan? This is the first book out of a marvelous series. I started reading it and got hooked. This would appeal to boys more than girls, but if you’re a tomboy, you will get into it. This is a harder book to read because it has about 265 words per page. If you’re like me, you will read the 200 action-packed pages in less than 3 days.
