The Dragonfly Pool - By Eva Ibbotson

I have finished the book I did for my book report. There are many climaxes in the book but I think the most important one is when the King of Bergania dies. Even though it isn't directly said in the book, many things are caused by the effect of this and when he dies it is so shocking. When I was reading the book, I was so shocked that he died, I couldn't believe it.

The King of Bergania is the father of the Prince, Karil who is good friends with Tally, the protagonist. He is a very good man and is respected by all the citizens of Bergania. He believes in equality of all people and is very against the Nazis. Hitler had many a time asked him to be allies with him, but every time he declined. This demonstrates his goodness as he is risking his life by doing this. Sort of unknown to him, there are people working under him as advisors or other things who are secretly working for Hitler. In the book, it is very obvious they were the murderers who shot the King.

The King dies while Tally and friends are at the festival. It is during the festival, when there is a huge crowd, that he is suddenly shot. At this point, his son runs off to a place that only Tally, Matteo and the King know of. At the same time as this, Matteo is reunited with his best friend for the last time. I shall not tell you who that is as it is a huge surpise, so you'd better read the book...

Hey sixth graders,

I am very sorry about the confusion with my last blog post. I don't want to confuse you anymore, so just so you know, I will be doing my book report book. Which is Firestars Quest by Erin Hunter. I have finished the book (and that's why I did the other book last time). There were two climaxes in my book, and I will talk about both.

For the first one. That is when Firestar and Sandstorm found cats that had Skyclan blood (because they wanted to rebuild the clan when they had been scattered). This was super important because the whole point of the book was to rebuild Skyclan. Some important events that lead up to this included their whole journey to get to the gorge (where the Skyclan cats had lived). Things that occurred during the journey where, getting swept up by the river, meeting strange cats along the way, getting caught in dangerous storms, etc. Another event that lead up to the climax was finding the gorge. Firestar and Sandstorm found the caves where the old Skyclan cats used to sleep and play, and they found the place where they used to hunt and train. It was a very special moment, even for me.

The second one involved a lot of battle. This was because the second climax was when Skyclan fought the rats. The rats had fought the old Skyclan, and some of them had been killed. That is what caused the clan to break up in the first place. Now Firestar and Sandstorm had collected enough cats who wanted to be a part of Skyclan (these are the events leading up to the climax), and they where going to go into battle with the rats once more. None of these cats had actually been a part of the old Skyclan, but they had Skyclan blood. They knew they had to fight the rats or else the rats would take over the gorge once more, and leave the new Skyclan homeless. Read bellow if you want to find out more.

Spoiler:If you want to read the book yourself, don't read this. If you are never going to read the book in your life, then you can read this. So, in the end Firestar killed the Leader of the rats. When he was dead, the other rats did not know what to do and they fled, never to bother Skyclan again. But there where thousands of rats, how did Firestar know which one was leader? Well, he figured out the rats communicated not with squeaks, but with movements. Such as a twitch of an ear or tail. Firestar located where the movements started, so the rat who first twitched his tail, was telling the other rats what to do. Then Firestar lunged and swiftly but him in the neck. When the rat died, why didn't the other rats just keep on attacking? Well, the leader was actually wise, and he could speak cat. so when he died the other rats where really not that smart and just continued on being regular rats. They could not speak cat and they had no brains, so they fled and never went back to the gorge.

I hope this was an interesting blog post! I also hope you read the book!

Russian Roulette

Climax

First edition cover (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Hello my fellow readers, In this blog post I will be explaining the climax of Russian Roulette. The climax of my story is when Yassen Gregorovich goes on his first assassin assignment. This is the most interesting part because it is when we, the readers, and the the company called Scorpia witch stands for sabotage, corruption, intelligence and assassination find out if Yassen can actually kill. The events that happened to have made Yassen want to be an assassin was when he was captured by a man who made Yassen his slave for most of his life and what led to assassination was that he wanted to kill the man for all he did to Yassen. Yassen was taken away from the man's mansion by Scorpia. Yassen had nowhere to go so he had begged Scorpia to take him in and that is how he got his first assignment.

Crossing the Wire

Will Hobbs
Done!!!

The most exciting part for ME was when Victor was trying to cross the border with his pall Miguel (The grumpy guy. Not so grumpy anymore) and when they were trying to get away from the cops, Miguel was not such a fast runner so he couldn't keep up with Victor so he told victor to go by himself. There were more very exciting things like jumping of trains and getting in the trunk of an old fisherman's truck. But i thought this was the most exciting. It gives more detail in the book. I'm just saying this book was one of the best books i have ever read. Everyone might like things like Hunger games and other things. But when it comes to family problems and very, very realistic things. I love it. I do like books like Hunger games but i like things like crossing the wire more.

The Edge Chronicles

 The book is Edge chronicles-Beyond the Deepwoods. The authors are Paul Stewart and Chris Riddel. I read 168 out of 279. The climax of the story is that the main character Twig strais from the path  in the Deepwoods and then meets allot of the creatures that live in the Deep woods. The event that led up to the events was that he did not follow what his mom told him to not leave  path but he did.

Hatchet

Hi guys!
The book that I chose to read is called Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I read all 195 pages. I'm not really sure what's the climax of this book because all the book is intense and interesting things always happen. The first important thing that happened was the plane crush. After that Brian survives in the wild for 54 days. The last important thing is when a plane found him and took him home.
This are the main parts of the story! Hope you enjoyed!
