    I'm reading -The Big Field by Mike Lupica. I'm on page 63 and this book is great for baseball readers like myself. Mike Lupica captures the field as if you were a baseball player with words like musty, ploom of dust, and wet grass to give the presense of the field to the reader. Also, at the biginning of the book there was a huge baseball red heron. The main character, Hutch, has been all of his life a shortstop. Hutch in the introdution talks about how he loves when the ball is hit at him. He gives out names like Jeter, Eckstein, and Ripken Jr. These are famous shortstops. Now in the the regional championship a ball is hit at the shortstop, only Hutch isn't playing shortstop. The best player, Wills, is and Hutch is devastated. This got me reading and now I can't stop. This will hopefully end in a good way, but with Mike Lupica putting in red herons, you never know whats next.

    Over spring brake I read books 3-5 of the - Percy Jackson and the Olympians By Rick Riordan . Now I am done with the all of the books. I loved the books. My favorit was - The Last Olympian ,wich is book 5 the final book. It was nonstop action. But i was alittle peved that nothing happened with Percy and Annabeth till the vary end of the book. And that it didn't have more about them two.

    I just finished -Danger in Quicksand Swamp by Bill Wallace. This was a great book because of all the action like when Dan almost gets eaten by the alligators or when Dan and Chris fall into the quicksand and are stuggling to survive. Also, Bill Wallace adds nature to the story because he grew up in Oklahoma which is where the book takes place. I can't tell you if they survive bacause then it would spoil the book. Just remember the beginnig and it will make sense.

    I have also read all of the -Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riodan. Have you seen the movie? It doesn't follow the story very well just like the -The City of Ember and -Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

    I am reading "Peeling the Onion" by Wendy Orr. I am on page 69. Its pretty good so far and i would definately recomend it. i like how goes really in depth about what the main character is REALLY thinking. It makes it easier to see things from her perspective.

    I am reading "First Light" well I haven't started yet but I can tell it's going to be a good book, and it looks like there is a kid traveling to antiartica, if you can't say it here is a easyer way to say it. This kid is going somewhere cold.

    I'm reading the book "Shadows On the Sea", I am on page 98, This is a really good book but a little hard to understand it. You have to pay really close attention to the details of the story. I would strongly suggest this book to people that like reading about adventurous journeys.

    I am reading the book Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident I am on page 63 and the book is really good. So far all thats has went on is Artemis was accused of sending people underground and attacking the LEP(fairy police). The only way for them to get Artemis down there was to neutralize his body guard and pursuade Artemis then make him fall asleep. I am on the second book of this 6 book series.
