Text to Self - One of Us is Lying

The book I am reading is One of Us is Lying  by Karen M. McManus. This is story about 5 high school students who went to detention on Monday and only 4 came out alive. It seemed like and accident, but they later found out it was not. A murder investigation started and the 4 high school students that were in that detention room are all suspects. They all are very different, have secrets they want to keep, and a motive. This investigation changes their lives forever.

This book has the high school stereotypes like the jock, criminal, princess, and the brain so it is hard for me to relate it just one character from the book. For me I would have to say I relate to the characters that are the jock and the brain, Bronwyn and Cooper. I am like a mix of these characters because I do get good grades and follow the rules like Bronwyn, but I am not as involved in after school clubs and playing an instrument like she is. I relate to Cooper because Cooper plays baseball and I play softball. Also, for Cooper and me the sport we play plays a huge part in our lives.

When I first bought this book I thought  it was going to a good book, but not a book that I would love. When I started getting into the plot and understanding the story I started to love this book. I never thought that a high school mystery book like this one would become one of my favorites. I love how that they used high school stereotypes to direct this book and wrote it like a journal from these four teenagers point of views. It really grabbed my attention and I enjoy reading this book.

Text to Self: The 100 Cupboards: Dandelion Fire

          I am currently reading  The 100 Cupboards: Dandelion Fire  . It is the second book in the series and it is about a magical boy battling an evil power in which he had released himself in the first book of the series. In the first book, he moves in with his Aunt and Uncle after his parents are kidnapped. He soon discovers that behind the plaster in his wall are 99 hidden magical cupboards that lead to different worlds. The second book continues where the first left off.           I can connect to the main character Henry in many ways because of how he acts and feels towards his cousin Henrietta. To me, Henrietta acts like my little brother. Henrietta was one of the people who caused the huge mess that Henry now has to clean up. She also decided to go exploring the cupboards without telling anyone. In the end she ended up being captured. I believe my brother would act the same way as her if he was in the same situation....

"If you're reading this it's too late" is by pseudonymous bosch , is about a fight between max-ernst and ms.mauvais the two main characters . The book starts off with the narrator talking about a secret being let out and could cause danger to the reader and the person in the story , making the plot thicken and making the reader wonder "what's the secret" . in the book so far whats happens is , one of the main characters named max is in a very lucid dream that she wakes up from , feeling like she's being haunted by the thought of the evil ms.mauvais . The problem in this story is similar to an event that happened in history. Like the watergate scandal , in the watergate scandal richard nixon had a big secret going on. He was try to make sure it didn't get out just like in the beginning of my book big there's an ancient dangerous secret going on and if it was let out it would cause chaos . In both of the incidents there's a lot of chaos but...
