Spiderwick Chronicles book was about Mallory missing but she is actually just asleep not the dead asleep but the go to bed asleep. They are pretty grossed out that all the goblins die but in my mind I would think that they are happy that it is that much less goblins trying to kill them. I like this book because it is very adventures.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Sea of Monsters
Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson is one year older, and is heading to camp with Annabeth, and Percy’s half brother, who is a cyclops named Tyson. A cyclops is a monster with one eye in the middle of their face. When they got to camp, the hill where the boundary line is was on fire. The boundary line keeps monsters and mortals out. Except these huge metal bulls were running in and out of the boundary line. Percy jumped out of the car, and raced to help people fighting the bulls. Tyson had pounded the bulls’ faces in with his amazing strength. Clarisse, the head of the fighting group, told us that the pine tree that was the boundary line. Also the pine tree is Thalia, daughter of Zeus that sacrificed her life to save some half bloods when they were coming to camp. So Clarisse told them the pine tree had been poisoned.
The next morning Annabeth found out the only way to save the pine tree is the golden fleece. So they asked Chiron if they could have a quest to get the fleece and bring it back and save Thaila. He agreed, and the third person would be Tyson. They packed their things; Percy packed Riptide, a magic pen that when you click the pen it becomes a sword. Annbeth packed her magic baseball cap, which when you wear the cap you turn invisible. That night Percy had a dream about Grover he was in trouble. Grover said “Come quick I don’t have much time i'm on a island off florida. Polyphemus, a huge bad cyclops, is keeping me here. Hurry!” The next morning they set of for their quest, and they went on a boat because the golden fleece is in the sea of monsters.
Once Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson arrived at the island they saw Polyphemus putting the Golden Fleece in a tree. The good news Grover must be on the island. The bad news was Percy has to battle a huge cyclops to get the Golden Fleece and Grover. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson snuck into Polyphemus’ cave and found Grover tied up. Percy cut him loose with Riptide and they snuck out of the cave. Percy thought he and his friends could surprise Polyphemus if they ran past and grabbed the Fleece. The plan didn't work, and they were battling Polyphemus. Percy and his friends battled Polyphemus for a long time, but eventually they defeated the cyclops.
When they finally got back to camp everybody was waiting at the beach. Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover marched up the hill to Thalia pine and placed the Fleece on a lower branch immediately the tree’s wounds went away, and the poison evaporated. That's not all, a person started growing out of the tree. That person was Thalia, daughter of Zeus.

Island of the Blue Dolphins written by Scott O’dell is about a girl named Won-a-pa-lei. She lives on an island and one day people come attack the island. A few days later, people got on a ship and left her alone on the island. Will the ship ever come back to get her?

I liked this book because it was interesting. She had to figure out how to live on her own learning how to build a house out of bones, cook food, hunt food, and other things to survive.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Titan's Curse
Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson is driving to a school with his Half Blood friends, Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia. Once they had picked up two soon-to-be Half Bloods, a monster was chasing them (as usual). The monster cornered them on an edge. Percy and his friends weren't doing good, until a bunch silver arrows shot out of the forest behind them and struck the monster, but did not disintegrate him. So Annabeth jumped on his back, and tried to get the monster with her knife. Of course the worst thing happened, and the monster jumped of the cliff with Annabeth.
Once Percy had gotten over the fact that his best friend had just fallen over a cliff on monster’s back, he learned the names of the people who shot the arrows. They were the goddess Artemis’ hunters. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt. The names of the Half Bloods are Nico and Bianca D'Angelo. Then a little while later Bianca went into the hunters tent, and Percy went in after her. The hunter in charge asked Bianca if she wanted to be a hunter. The hunter in charge said “If you become a hunter then you agree to turn your back on men, and you will be immortal. Which means you live forever.”
“Ok, I’ll be a hunter” Bianca said. “What?” Percy said outraged. You'd turn your back on your brother like that.”
“Well I've always taken care of my brother. It’d be a good break to get some space,” Bianca said. “Fine” Percy said leaving the tent.
Once they were back at Camp Half Blood Percy wanted to go save Annabeth right away. Percy asked Chiron if he could go on a quest to save Annabeth, with Grover and Thalia. Chiron said yes but they had to take Bianca and Zoe Nightshade. Zoe Nightshade is the leader of the hunters if Artemis isn't around. They had to take the two hunters because Zoe said she had a dream that Artemis was also captured by the monster. In the morning they left for San Francisco because that's where Annabeth and Artemis are being held.
On their way to San Francisco, Percy and his friends had to go thru the dump of the Gods, and battle a huge metal man giant. Bianca sacrificed her life to defeat the giant. Once Percy, Grover, Thalia, and Zoe arrived in San Francisco they went straight to the mountain where Annabeth and Artemis were being kept.
Once they made it up the mountain, Percy was shocked at what he saw. Annabeth was either sleeping or had passed out. Artemis was holding up the sky literally there was a huge cloud of swirling blackness on her hand which were right above her head. She had beads of silver sweat running from her hair, and dripping off her chin. But the person standing next to her surprised Percy the most. A guy 10 feet tall, which is the size of a God, with golden eyes. He was a Titan, which were the immortals that were ruling before the Gods. Then the Gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades chopped the Titan, Kronos, to pieces and put him in Tartarus. Also Kronos is the father of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
The Titan was standing and laughing at the site of a God being tortured. Percy, Thalia, Grover, and Zoe charged into battle with the Titan. Eventually the Titan started to get worn out, but he struck one final blow on Zoe and hit her so hard, she hit a rock that was 15 feet away. Then Percy jumped up and kicked the Titan in the face, and he rolled backwards; only once, but that was enough. Artemis rolled out of the way and the Titan stood up only to hold up the sky. They rushed over to Zoe, but by then life had already left her eyes.
They had to return Artemis to Olympus, so when they got there Artemis asked Thaila if she wanted to be a hunter. Thalia said “Yes I will, Goddess Artemis” surprisingly. Once Percy, Annabeth, and Grover returned to camp, Percy went to his bed and slept until dinner time. When he came out Nico was standing there, and he looked angry. Nico said “You let my sister die Percy. I hate you!” Then cracks in the ground opened up, and Nico stormed off into the woods. Percy now knew that Nico D’Angelo is the son of Hades.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: Battle of The Labyrinth
Rick Riordan

Percy, Grover, and Annabeth are just playing a regular capture the flag game at Camp Half Blood with a few other campers. When Percy and Annabeth sneak into a secret hiding spot, they fall through the ground. When they got up, Percy and Annabeth were in a pitch black room or corridor. They looked around and couldn’t see where they had fallen through. 5 minutes later the hole opened up again and a rope fell through. “Need some help?” Grover called down.
Once they had told Chiron about the strange hole, Chiron said “ You need to go on a quest to find Dedalus. He is the one who created the maze that stretches across most of the world, that you to fell into. Also you need to find Dedalus because he knows his way around the maze. If Luke finds Dedalus then he could invade the camp and destroy Camp Half Blood.” “I accept” Percy, Annabeth, and Grover said in chorus. “But we’re taking one more person.” Percy added.
The next morning Tyson arrived and they trotted down to Zeus’s fist, which is were Percy and Annabeth fell thru. They said their goodbyes and jumped. Percy, Tyson, Annabeth, and Grover hit the stone cold floor with an echo. They pulled flashlights out of their backpacks and put new batteries in them. The flashlights flicked on and a massive corridor was revealed.
The next two days Percy and his friends felt like they were running around in circles, so they returned to Camp Half Blood. They went back to Chiron and asked him what to do. He said they should find someone that could see through the mist, and they will guide you through the maze to Dedalus. So Percy went to Rachel Elizabeth Dare, someone Percy met last summer. She said, “ Of course I will, so when do we leave.” “ Now” Percy replied.
The next few days, with Rachel leading, Percy felt like they were making some progress. Then the day came where Rachel said “We’re here.” In the next five minutes they reached Dedalus’ workshop. He looked down from the top of the stairs and said “Run”. Bam! the doors behind them exploded and two bear like humans charged in, followed by a snake woman. Percy uncapped Riptide and the pen changed into a sword. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson charged at the monsters.
While they were charging at the monsters Percy looked at Dedalus and he pointed at huge wings that were made of bronze in the corner. Percy nodded, he turned his back on the monsters, and ran for the wings. While the others were fighting Percy strapped his wings on and yelled for the others to come and get a pair of wings on too. Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson turned and ran at Percy. Meanwhile Rachel was scrambling to get her wings on behind Percy.
Once the others had their wings on, Tyson punched the window and they soared out of it. Percy looked back and what he saw made him want to turn around and fly back to help Dadalus. Once they had made it back to Camp they told Chiron everything. He said “ We need to prepare for a war on Camp Half Blood.”
By the next day everybody was prepared for war. There was a huge number of booby-traps around the rock. The whole Camp was on its toes waiting for it to happen. Then boom. Boom! BOOM! BOOOOM! The rock exploded and out charged an army of monsters lead by Luke. But it wasn't the usual Luke. He had glowing golden eyes and he looked super calm. It was Kronos in Luke’s body.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Last Olympian
Rick Riordan
A half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall reach 16 against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero’s soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end his days
Olympias to preserve or raze
The prophecy kept repeating in Percy’s head, ever since he had gone up and visited the Oracle. By the way, the Oracle is an old mummy that tells heroes their future in prophecy form. Percy walked down the stairs only to find a person he had made-up with last year before the battle with Kronos, Nico Di Angelo.
Nico had been asking a question all summer but Percy finally had to say yes. Nico said it one more time though “Percy we need to make you invincible before Kronos attacks Olympus.” “Ok fine” Percy replied. Nico mutterd “Yes” under his breath, and he went into the details of how to become invincible. First you need your mothers permission, then you go to the underworld and you bathe in the river Sticks. After that you will be invincible, except for one tiny spot you choose.
Once they had made it to Percy’s Mom’s apartment, she ran and gave Percy a long hug. Finally she let go, and he told her that if he was to stand a chance against Kronos he had to become invincible. He would need her blessing. “So what do I have to say to give Percy my blessing?” Percy’s mom replied. “You say, “My son, I give you my blessing to bathe in the River Sticks””, Nico said.
“Alright, My son I give you my blessing to bathe in the River Sticks.” Percy’s Mom recited. “Thanks Mom and when this is all over I’ll have a huge blue flag on the Empire state building. To let you know I’m ok”, Percy said. “Good, love you so much” and she gave Percy a hug. “Ok now can we get going” Nico interrupted. So Percy and Nico left and went into a dark alleyway. Nico open up a shadow portal and they jumped through.
They emerged in the underworld a mile from the Sticks. Percy was shocked that the Sticks was in the underworld. He asked Nico why it was in the underworld. Nico said “What did you think, a huge black river of souls was going to be in California.” “I was hoping.” Percy replied “Ok, so you submerge yourself into the river, and focus your mind on one part of your body. If you lose contact with that body part you will melt away in the river.” Nico said.
The river was like burning lava, yet super cold ice cubes. It was the most painful thing Percy had ever done in his life. The pain was like a thousand knives running on his body then he dunked his head in. Percy focused on the small of his back so hard. He started to drown because this wasn’t sea water he fell to the bottom of the River Sticks. Then there was no more pain, but he had to plunge to the surface to get air.
Percy gasped, he felt like he could defeat a 100,000 men army right then for fun. He swam over to Nico and got out of the river, and saw Hades marching with a hundred dead soldiers at him. “Let’s see if it worked” Nico said “This should be fun” Percy replied confidently. He charged at the soldiers, and took out Riptide. Clikk! The pen turned into a sword, Percy killed the first 5 with one swing.
The soldiers backed away a little bit but then charged. Percy charged to meet them. Percy slashed, stabbed, jumped, dodged, and Riptide was like an arc of death flying through the sky. Most of them tried to stab and cut Percy, but their weapons went through his shirt and bounced of his skin. No dead skeleton ever stabbed him in the small of his back. Then he got to Hades, and pushed him. His head landed so that it was barely in the River, and the souls started grabbing Hades’ head. That gave Percy an idea.
“Hades how about you take a swim in the Sticks, I hear it’s nice this time of year.” Percy said while he threw Hades into the River Sticks, as Percy had thought the souls dragged him to the bottom of the River. He walked back to Nico and smiled “That felt amazing!” Percy said. “I think your going to need a new shirt though”, Nico said. Percy looked down at his shirt. He was going to need a new shirt, definitely.
Once Percy got back to Camp Half Blood (Nico said camp wasn’t his thing), everyone was in a rush. He found Annabeth and asked her what was going on. She said “Chiron announced that we’re going to guard the Empire State building because he thinks Kronos is going to attack.” “Why can’t the Gods fight?” Percy replied. “Because all the Gods are fighting Typhoon, a really strong Titan. Typhoon is headed towards the Empire State building.”
“What?” Percy asked. Annabeth replied, “They’
