So the book that i am reading is greek and it is a comic book. It is called Asterix and Obelix at the Olympics.   It is really fun reading through it and i have been reading it over and over again. The book is about how Asterix and Obelix got into the Olympics as only Romans and Greek were allowed to take part and they were french. So Asterix thinks that since the Romans conquered their village they are members of the Roman empire. Once they got to the Olympics
thay found out that it was illegal to use their magic drink to make them strong so they win the Olympics because all the Romans got a drink from the magic drink so they were disqualified, but  they gave the trophy to the Romans because they knew Caesar was going to kill them if they lose.
I recommend this book to everyone who wants to read books that are fun and i also recommend the movie is even better.

Caught by Margaret Peterson Haddix

I have read to page 104. I am reading about two kids who are time traveling saving kids in time through history. The kids went to Albert Einstein’s time to save his daughter. It was not mentioned yet in the book why she is in trouble but I am sure they will save her. The kids figured out that Albert never met his daughter who is nineteen months old. Since Albert and his wife Mileva lived in Germany and the baby girl was in Novi Sad Mileva is traveling by train to get to her. While she is traveling she is seeing weird things and sensed somehow that someone is following her.  The kids are invisible so that they don’t change time and so no one notices them. In the train they had to be in weird poses so people don’t touch them. Later on when all the passengers exited the room where Mileva and the kids are she talks with them. Jonah and Katherine try not to reveal much information to her because they could change events forever. As it starts to get dark the room gets quieter and quieter. Jonah is scared if the train makes a stop in the middle of the night someone might enter and touch them while they are asleep. If they touches them they will figure out someone invisible is there. Jonah’s fear kept him awake but only for a short period of time.

Back Home

The book I am reading is called "Back Home", by Michelle Magorian. The book has 448 pages. This book was published in 1994, and was adapted into a TV drama.

Virginia Dickinson (Rusty), continues to struggle in accepting her new life in England. As more time passes, she misses her old life in Connecticut, where she feels she belongs. After spending five years in America, living with a free and happy family, she finds it hard to adapt to the dull and miserable life in England, where she is confounded by new rules she was never used to. Rusty and her mother, Peggy, do not get along well as Rusty dramatically changed from the shy, quite seven year old girl her mother once knew her to be, to the loud, adventurous and brave 12 year old girl. Her mother Peggy, dislikes the way her daughter has been raised, and feels guilty for not being able to raise her own child. She expects her daughter to fit in and be like the other English girls, and introduces Rusty to all sorts of rules and restrictions which Rusty was not accustomed to. Beatie Langley, a kind woman whose home was open to Rusty's mother and brother due to the war, seems to be the only person who truly understands Rusty and treats her with respect and kindness. Beatie decides it is time that Rusty had a friend who she could spend her time with and cheer her up, so she introduces her to a local schoolgirl named Beth. As Rusty befriends this queer, young girl they soon find that they both have similar interests and likes.


When reading this book, I came across two new words, uncowed (pg. 71) and tiered (pg. 79). Uncowed means not frightened, unbeaten and showing boldness. A sentence using this word could be, "I was uncowed as the opposing team scored against us". Tiered means arranged in layers. A sentence using this word could be "I stared glumly at the messy pile of clothes that was soon going to have to be tiered".  

The Secret Series

The title of this series is the secret series. I finished one of the books in it. The other books in this series are: The Title of This Book is Secret, If You're Reading This it's Too Late, This Book is not Good for You, This isn't What it Looks Like and You Have to Stop This. I finished the book. It is 275 pages. The author is Pseudonymous Bosch. One word I did not know was preface. At first I thought it meant before the book started. A preface is something about a books origins or inspirations. Another word was Epigraph.  I thought it had something to do with paragraphs. It is usually a quote from an author put in the begging of a book. 

Calvin and Hobbes(Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat)

Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat

A Calvin and Hobbes Collection

This book is in the Calvin and Hobbes Collection and is called Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat. The author of the Calvin and Hobbes collection (which includes this book) is Bill Patterson. It is a comic that has 175 pages. It is about the adventures of a little boy and a stuffed tiger named Hobbes who is real to Calvin, but is a stuffed tiger to everyone else. Here are my favorite parts. One of them is when Calvin is getting a drink of water in the night Hobbes comes and jumps on him. Another part when Hobbes greats Calvin when he gets home from school.  Calvin called Hobbes a Homicidal Psycho Jungle cat.  There are so many scenes in the book but I like the scenes when Calvin daydreams in class and he dreams of aliens and him being a heroic and AWESOME space adventurer named Spiff.  Everyone in my family loves Calvin and Hobbes and I recommend this book before bed or if you are feeling sad.
