School of Fear-Allen Clement

The book I read was the School of Fear by Gitty Daneshari and the book is 339 pages long. In those 339 pages a bunch of interesting and mysterious. Now lets talk more about what the book is about and the things that happen in the book to the characters and the setting. So what happens is kid with all these fears go to this school where its calm and they try and make them concur there fears. But what happens is that the instructor/principal dies and when she dies this guy take her dog. That was right t here next to her when she died and runs off with him so the kids try and catch him but he goes into this secret tunnel that leads somewhere that they don't know. But, instead of waiting there and trying to figure out what to do they spring into action they were going to call the cops but at the beginning of the trip when they got on the bus they forced the kids to give there parents their phones. Even if they did it would of gotten taken away because some kid tried to sneak his in and he got caught so they took a hammer and smashed so he could not get in touch with anyone. It sounds really weird and creepy that they had to give them there phones but they did what they had to do but all the stuff that happened they all were able to concur there fears while they were there. It all turns out that the instructor/principal was not dead she did all that so she could try and make them so scared they would do anything to get the dog and find out what happened. I recommend you read this book it is a really nice book and it is so interesting.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This is the book I read. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is about Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This supposedly normal year for Harry took a turn in the wrong direction because a murderer named Sirius Black broke out of the once said inescapable wizarding jail called Azkaban. Plus, on the way to Hogwarts, as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and the new Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin (who was fast asleep) were in the train compartment on the Hogwarts Express, something dark and mysterious opened the compartment door and Harry felt as though the life was being sucked right out of him, and when he woke up from that brief "session", he was being watched, lanterns shining all around him, and so throughout the school year, Professor Lupin taught Harry to produce a Patronus (the one spell that can stop dementors). The spell takes a lot of concentration on the happiest thought the witch/wizard could think of to produce a whisp that flies straight at the dementor (dementors suck out all of the happy thoughts from you and makes you think of all bad thoughts). Anyway, back to the school year. The school gets a little less safe because Sirius somehow got the password that would grant access to the Griffyndor common room that was guarded by a fat lady in a portrait. Ron woke up to see the silhouette of a man with a knife in the common room, and when everybody was up, they discovered someone had torn through the portrait that the fat lady was occupying. Cool stuff happened to Harry, too. He received a Firebolt (the most modern Quidditch broom) from a mysterious person, but it was confiscated so they could check for jinxes, and it was fine. He also received the Marauder's Map (a map that lets the user see everybody on the Hogwarts school grounds) from Fred and George Weasley ( Ron's older identical twin brothers). One night, while Harry, Ron , and Hermione were walking home from Hagrid's hut, Ron's mouse Scabbers broke free from his grasp trying to run away from Hermione's cat, Crookshanks,  a big black dog appeared out of nowhere and dragged off by the arm. As Ron tried to escape the grasp of the dog by latching his leg to a root of the Whomping Willow (a huge tree that tries to crush anyone who gets near), but it just broke, so Harry and Hermione went to save him. They ended up chasing the dog down a dark tunnel into a dark windowless house, which was the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade. When Harry and Hermione went up the staircase in the Shack, they found Ron  on the florr and a filthy man (Sirius Black, who was also the black dog) in the back of the room. Sirius wasn't there to hurt the three of them, but Scabbers. Scabbers was the one who revealed the whereabouts of Harry's parents to Voldemort (Scabbers is really Wormtail, who was friends with Harry's father and was an animagus, a witch/wizard that could transform into an animal). In the end, Harry and Hermione help Sirius escape from being captured by the Ministry of  Magic and have the dementor's kiss performed on him (the dementor's kiss sucks the soul out of the victim) on Buckbeak the griffin, who was going to be killed for attacking Draco Malfoy. And nobody knows or suspects what happened. This book has 435 pages.

A previous praetor of Rome approaches Jason. When he does, it turns out that the praetor is Michael Varus, who had died losing the twelfth legions eagle in Alaska. Michael stops Jason and explains that someone has come to see him. A ghost then appears, claiming to be Jason's mother, Beryl Grace.
             Beryl exclaims that Jupiter had made her leave the wolf house. She tries to convince Jason to fight for Gaea, but is unsuccessful in doing so. Once the conversation comes to a close, Beryl Grace disappears as an insanity spirit. While Jason and his mother were talking, Jason's disguise had broke, leaving all the monsters to attack Jason after it was over. During the fight, Jason is stabbed in the stomach by Michael. Before Piper kills the ghost, Michael tells Jason that he will die a Roman. Annabeth then runs outside to signal the captain of the Agro II, Leo Valdez. After seeing the signal, Leo asks Frank Zhang to transform into an animal to fly down and get Jason. The story continues with the demigods Frank, Leo, Piper, Annabeth, Jason, Percy, and Hazel being told by Juno to stop Olympia before she gets out of control and find the twins who are hiding from Jupiter.

The Son of Neptune - Justin Ayala

This book is the second installment in the Heros of Olympus and is based on my favorite character. Percy Jackson. He's one of the three characters in this book and is the main. Being the god of Posidien/Neptune, Percy has the ability to control water. Just like Jason he has amnesia and only remembers one name. Annabeth. On his journey he makes new friends, Frank Zangh and Hazel Levesque. Frank Zangh is son of Mars/Ares and is Roman. Percy is a little nervous about that, being Greek and knowing Romans are really vicious. Frank, being really bulky, can be a real nice guy and he's a decendant of Posidien/Neptune. Hazel Levesque is suposse to be dead and is daughter of Pluto/Hades. Being a daughter of Pluto/Hades can be real tough because when you die you're not like the others being confused, you remember before you died. Hazel was born in the 1930's and is living fighting in the 20th century. It was like Nico De' Angelo and Bianca living in a hotel for 70 years felling like 1 week. You can join these friends and go on there journey of 513 pages.
