Mythlopedia books

There's a lot of pictures here...

Mythlopedia consists of 4 books, each containing Info on the most important greek characters in 4 different categories, one for each book, cool fast facts, like "reality check", and some humor (including funny content on the first few pages), to add a laugh to the sometimes dull greek myths. 

Oh my Gods! (get the joke?)

Find out about the Greek gods, like Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and more in this cool Mythlopedia book! (Now do you get the joke?) I learned facts like Eros (or Cupid) can shoot golden arrows that make people love someone and lead arrows that make people really hate someone. The mischievous little guy used this trick on Apollo and Daphne. Apollo got the golden arrow and Daphne got the lead one. Apollo said “I want to go out on a date” and Daphne said “No Way!”

She's all that!

Gods, gods, gods... What happened to the goddesses? Find out about the ladies that sometimes put the "dess" after "god", like Hera, Athena, Persephone, and more in another cool Mythlopedia book! I learned facts like that Athena was the goddess of wisdom or at least was said to be since she sprung out of her dad, Zeus', head fully grown. Get it? Out of his head? She was pretty smart because she gave Odysseus the idea about the Trojan Horse.

(I haven't a clue why they didn't just stick the goddesses in

Oh my Gods!.)

All in the Family!

Don't forget about the others! This book has information about the characters who aren't Gods but who are important, like Achilles, Heracles, Pandora, and more in yet another cool Mythlopedia book! I learned stuff like how Midas lost his golden touch by washing his hands in some kind of magical river and later gained a pair of donkey ears instead; and I learned how Achilles was dipped in another magic river which made his body invincible except for the spot where his mom held him—that spot now is called the Achilles tendon!

What a Beast!

Quite a lot of dangerous and whacky beasts lived in in Greek myths. Learn about the crazy creatures of greek mythology, like medusa, pegasus, the minotaur, and more in the last, but not least book in Mythlopedia! I learned stuff like when Medusa was killed by Perseus her hideous dead face that turned anyone to stone came in handy—he turned one of his enemies into a statue with it and saved Andromeda who was about to be killed by some big sea monster, just before the moment it caught her, it turned into a big oddly shaped rock!

The reason I got all these books was that when mom got What a beast! out, I really liked it, so mom got the others, and the books may be useful if I read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. (I want to read them).

Recommended for anyone who wants to learn about greek Mythology.

The beginning of Warriors, the New Prophecy

Here's something that will make you think... Why does the author of Warriors make the books in separate "series" of books?? That's something that will probably confuse everyone from the more intelligent, who would try and figure out a logical reason, to the 5-year-olds, who's wildly creative minds would search through tons of ideas that the intelligent might not even think about... unless you've started it by coming from the original series. I'll explain why in parts of my summary.

Brambleclaw was Firestar's apprentice until I dunno when (it probably happened in a period of time in between the two series). He was the son of Tigerstar, and looked almost exactly the same as him, but wasn't going to become a bloodthirsty devil like his father. Sure, he was ambitious, like his father, but his ambition was to be a great warrior. Firestar was assigned to mentor him. (Sometimes Brambleclaw gave Firestar the creeps because of how he resembled Tigerstar.)

Leafpaw is our ol' medicine cat Cinderpelt (say hi, Cinderpelt!)'s apprentice, who I believe was assigned and apprenticed recently. (I wouldn't know any of these following facts if it weren't for my cats of the clans book.) Leafpaw had the dream and destiny to become a medicine cat since birth, the opposite of her sister, Squirrelpaw, who's dream and destiny was to become a great warrior, like Brambleclaw. Both of them are heading in the right direction to make their dreams come true.

TIME OUT: Why aren't we following Firestar? This may be one of the reasons that there are separate series. Change. But why are we following 2 different characters at different times? IDK yet...

I'll answer my questions in my full post.

Artemis Fowl

>>BEGIN TRANSMISSION

>>Artemis Fowl the second is a Genius criminal and genius techie...and a child. He spends so much time in front of the screens of 3 iMacs that his skin is white from their glare. But his family is in trouble, and his mother is losing her mind. But he has a plan to save his family. But his plan involves fairy gold. But fairies do exist...

>>Holly is an L.E.P. Recon officer, in other words fairy police, who is tormented by commander Root for being one of the only female officers. Who goes though a lot,... Like a troll attack, and capture by a human named Artemis fowl, and Much, much more...

>>One of the parts of this book I liked most were how humor was all over the place, especially with how Foaley, a techie centaur, teases Root all the time. Oh, I found another laugh in the corner of page 75...HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>Recommended for everyone alive who likes an addicting story and a good laugh.

>>This is the first book in a series, and I think that I will like the other ones too. The characters that I expect to reappear are Artemis Fowl II, Holly, Root, Foaley, Artemis Fowl's mother, Butler (Artemis Fowl's, well, butler), and one of the characters that may appear is Artemis Fowl I (Artemis Fowl II's father).

Warriors: The Original Series, an Overview

The Warrior path has taken Firestar far--finally through a whole series of six fantastic books! The clan cats took the right path by taking the curious kittypet (then named Rusty) out of twolegplace and transforming him first into Firepaw, a noble apprentice tormented by Sandpaw (later Sandstorm), Then into Fireheart, the noble warrior who was suspicious of Tigerclaw (later Tigerstar), then Fireheart, the deputy that was treated a little odd, and finally Firestar, the Leader that saved the clan--and all others. 

Firestar was a normal kittypet--until he left twolegplace to live in the forest (despite the fact that most kittypets had this stupid rumor going that there were cats that ate bones there. Stupid kittypets...). Minutes later, Firestar is one of them. He now hunts for food, fights for peace, and hates Shadowclan. 

Firestar now is a warrior full-time, and has some saving to do--Windclan is in trouble with Riverclan and Shadowclan! Can Thunderclan save them?

This series of books made me want to read lots more fiction. Before this I rarely would pick fiction books to read on my own. I liked fiction when Mom read it aloud to me and Fiona but I didn't really go for it for free reading. Cats are one of my favorite kinds of pets and also, it was awesome! There was a lot of action; it doesn't have much humor, but I still like it a lot (the first one had Graystripe fooling around when he was in apprentice training.) This series made me want to read more than I used to, though I've always been a pretty good reader, though now I'm using my reading skills more.

For any kids who likes cats and/or action, I think this series is AWESOME!

If you want to go back, here are all my posts about the individual books in the series:

Warriors 1

Warriors 2

Warriors 3

Warriors 4

Warriors 5

Warriors #6: The Darkest Hour

Firestar doesn't have any clue what evil force awaits him... until it's nine lives time. After Firestar got the nine extra chances to survive in battle, Bluestar, former leader of ThunderClan, gave him this prophecy: 

"Four will become Two, Lion and Tiger will meet in battle, and Blood will rule the forest..."

(If I was Firestar then, I'd drop dead with panic.)

Yet the real bad part is when it reveals it self... RiverClan and ShadowClan join to make the united clans of TigerClan, and ThunderClan + WindClan = the united clans of LionClan. But will blood rule the forest? Read it or else You'll never know...

My favorite part was the final battle, it had lots of action. 

Charlie and the great glass elevator

We rejoin Mr. Wonka, Charlie and his family and-oops!-Mr Wonka takes the large party too far in the Wonka Chocolate Factory's unique 'Great Glass Elevator' (made of thick but crystal clear glass, I'll call it 'GGE' for short)-all the way to the recently launched SPACE HOTEL USA ('SHUSA')! SUSHA is a giant sausage-shaped spaceship housing many hotel rooms usually housing 1 or 2 people. What will happen when a disaster strikes SUSHA with the GGE nearby? And will the gang get back to the factory on time? Find out in the intergalactic sequel to Charlie & the Chocolate Factory!

My favorite part was when freaky and bloodthirsty blob aliens invaded SHUSA. It was really REALLY freaky. I didn't find it as interesting as Charlie & the Chocolate Factory because it was shorter and had less stuff. Maybe that's why people have made 2 Charlie & the Chocolate Factory movies but none of this.
