Last Slice!!!

Talking
Laughing
And suddenly raining.
The sound is soft at first.  Just a gentle tap.  But soon it starts to get louder... and everything falls quiet.  Even the trees seem to watch in wonder as water falls from the sky. My jacket is in my backpack sitting safely in the woods.  I just stand there getting wet as as the landscape seems to melt.  The water shakes and shivers and soon so do I.  I was just standing there
When
Thunder
Cracked across the sky.

Children Of The Realm by W. L. James

Peter, Alexandra, Theroux, and Rudy are not average middle school kids in fact they are far from average.  They are fledgelings, the children of immortal and all powerful Centurion warriors who fight against a dark force called the Horde.  In their hometown of Boulder, Colorado the fledgelings do their best to appear normal but train in secret with their guardians to one day follow in their parents footsteps and become Centurions.  The fledgelings odd friend Ashely who has known them all her life isn't what she seems either.  Right before her fourteenth birthday she finds out about her friends.  She wonders if she were to expose her true identity if her friends would stay with her or turn against her.
I think this book is interesting and I enjoyed it.  I am a little confused on what age this book is intended for because the story seems like something that someone younger could enjoy but there is some harsh language in this book that I feel would only be appropriate for people my age or older.  I think it is a funny story but also has some more intense parts.  Some parts I feel were a little unnecessary  I think anyone in sixth grade who's just looking for something fun funny and a little out of the normal would enjoy this book.

Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea Beaty

A few weeks ago rather than reading one long book I read several picture books about people or important events in history.  My favorite was Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea Beaty.  This book is loosely based on Rosie The Riveter.  I think the message of this book is very cool and I loved the art but I wish there had been a little more information about Rosie The Riveter because it didn't talk as much about the real historical importance as I would have liked.  This is about a young girl named Rosie who dreams of being a great inventor.  When one of her inventions fails Rosie is crushed and hides all her inventions.  This goes on until her grandmother comes to town and shows Rosie that she can't give up on her first try.
