The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

The blood of Olympus is about when all the Romans and Greeks decide to work together as a team to defeat Gaea, the Earth goddess. Some people are on her side, those are the people who worship Kronos, the Titan of the Universe, and wan't to bring him back from his chopped up pieces in the coffin. Those people are like Luke, who the fates chose if he should live or not. Gaea is waking up faster. If Gaea awakens, Chaos would return. When the blood of all seven half bloods, which is the blood of Olympus, it shall awaken Gaea from her sleep. These seven half bloods have to choose who is going to die and which six is going to live. But maybe Gaea has other plans to keep Chaos alive.

I really liked when the monsters met the half bloods before the war. I also really liked when they were looking off Olympus at what Gaea was doing to the people.

My favorite character was Hazel because she had an interesting life. I also liked Reyna and her dogs because they were funny and crazy.

I give this book :):):):):) (5 out of 5 happy faces). I recommend this book for people who liked the first series of Percy Jackson and people who are Greek or Italian

The BFG by Roald Dahl

The BFG is no ordinary human-eating giant. He is far too nice and funny. It's lucky for Sophie he is. If she was carried off in the middle of the night by any of the other giants she would soon be breakfast. But when Sophie hears that the bad giants are traveling to London to swallow little children every night, she and the BFG decide to stop them once and for all. They must defeat the giants before it's too late.

I really liked it when the BFG and Sophie go dream hunting because the dreams were amazing. I also liked when they created the bad dream for the queen.

My favorite character was the BFG because he said lots of funny things. I also liked Sophie because my sisters name is Sophie.

I give this book :):):):):) (5 out of 5 happy faces). I recommend this book to people who have nightmares and to people who's name is Sophie or has a sister named Sophie.

When the Sea Turned to Silver by Grace Lin

This book is about when winter has been lasting for a long time. The tradition states that when the rice jar is empty that it will turn to spring. The winter strangely lasted longer. Pinmei, the main character, was on her last few grains of rice when the emperor stole her grandmother. The emperor decides to build a "great" wall surrounding his palace for no one to see what is behind it. Pinmei and her friend, Yishan, team up to find her grandmother before it's too late. They both know the emperor is about to plan something evil.

I really liked it when Lady Meng cried so hard her tears broke the wall because the wall is bad. Another thing I liked was when they finally proved who Yishan really was.

My favorite character was Lady Meng because she never gave up on anything and transformed into something amazing.

I give this book :) :) :) :) :) (5 out of 5 happy faces). I recommend this book for people who liked the Percy Jackson series or the Kane Chronicles, or to people who like magic and monsters.
