No.10, Vol.1-LAND-HO!


Pirates! The word that captivated millions of people in that age. Many pirates started as people in debt and went to sea to get rich. Many people think being on a pirate ship would be fun.
It was actually a living nightmare. Cruel punishments, cramped quarters, almost always there was a mean, cold-hearted captain. To boot, if you got captured, you would be hanged.
These criminals would often fly the jolly roger, and if the quarry would not back down, the pirates would fire cannon, and then throw grappling hooks to pull in the other ship. then they would attack, killing all except for the most important passengers. These they would use as hostages. The pirates would run off and spend the gold and valuables. Only Captain Kidd buried his treasure, but he soon recovered it. Oh yeah, on a book note, usually only the captain could read to go over charts and maps.

No.9, Vol.1-Eye of the Liger


  1. "What are you drawing?" "A liger. It's pretty much my favorite animal. Bred for its skills and magic."
    These famous words are branded into the very minds of over a million citizens. Trouble is, every one thinks it's stupid. But in the back of their skulls, these very people love it. It's just the fact that when the movie came out, relatives would come with it and say, 'This movie is awesome!' and friends would say it, and siblings would say it. Soon, the people have seen it so much that they are annoyed by it. In fact they feel interregated about it.
    Soon, the people just shut it out of their minds forever.

    Almost.
    If they would just go back and watch it in a year or so, they will love it. It is just a matter of over-usage. Tell people that, and they don't listen.
    On a Wrik note, they actually have a liger. Several Ligers. These things are huge!(SEE PIC.1)

I read Freeglader, to make a long story short, it was awesome! I also am reading Treasure Island. ( For some reason, I've become fasinated with ships and sailing.
Does anyone read the Land of Elyon books? Beyond the Valley of Thorns? Dark Hills Divide? Oh well. Sorry I missed so many days. (Me personally, I don't really like a Wrinkle in time)
HAPPY ST.PATRICKS DAY!

No.6,Vol.1-Books-Movies

Don't you hate it when they say they are doing a movie based on a book, make a lot of hype about it, then you watch it to find out that it is just an overrated piece of crap? But, what the heck. Thats Hollywood. I've put together a list of real stinkers.
  1. Keeping the Promise It is supposed to be based on The Sign of the Beaver, but it is very off the main story and the book. Oh well. NEXT!
  2. Matilda At least they kept the title the same, but the story is even in the wrong country! In the story they are in England. But the movie is in America. The main character is supposed to be 5 or so. She's 8.
  3. Jumanji This is an exception. The movie rocked, wasn't cheesy, the acting was pretty good, but this is a list that talks about movies that weren't true to the book. The only thing wrong with this movie was that it had a completly different story.

No.5, Vol.1-Some Books



Anybody read Lord of the Rings? Seen the movie? Dang. Well, if you haven't read it, you should. If its too long for you, watch the movie. If you can't watch the movie, then find the animated version. If you can't find the animated, go on the webpage. If you don't have a computer, never mind.
If you are a Narnia fan, you will be happy to know that they are making Prince Caspian a movie. Who here likes Redwall? Several Redwall websites are available, just try Redwall dot com or dot org or dot net.

No.4, Vol.1-FreeGlader



I was reading the Edge chronicles today, and I wanted to know what the new one was about. So, I looked it up on the web, and came up with this summary and a few images.

Rook Barkwater, librarian knight, and his friends make their way from Undertown, through the Mire and the Deepwoods, to a new home in the Free Glades. But that home is threatened by Hemuel Spume, Master of the Foundry Glades, who sees the area as a limitless supplier of slaves. Rook's friend Xanth is facing a Reckoning for the crimes he previously committed as a former Night Guardian, and his friend Felix, leader of the ghosts of Screetown, continues to disappoint his father, the High Librarian. To complicate matters, Rook loses his memory once again, after being caught in a sepia storm. The fast-paced plot is made up of an interconnecting set of story lines, populated by a bewildering array of creatures that meet in a spectacular last battle. In the epilogue, an elderly Mire Pirate connects all seven books with an explanation of Rook's family tree. This complex and well-worked-out fantasy world will be clear to readers familiar with the series.
