Text to Text - I Have a Bad Feeling About This

I am currently reading the book I Have a Bad Feeling About This by Jeff Strand. This book is about a 16 year-old boy named Henry Lambert who goes off to Survival Camp despite his protests. His dad says that he is a "Wuss" because he has a lot of fears and would rather be playing video games than going outside. He ends up having to do all of these crazy things like shooting bow and arrows, killing people and many other things. There are bad people that come and kill their camp leader and they have to fight for survival.
       This book reminds me of the book and movie Holes by Louis Sachar. This is because they go to a camp to become better. They both experience near death experiences and have to fight for survival. The camp leaders are both bad people but in I Have a Bad Feeling About This, the camp leader is kind of good but ends up dying. They are both very good books and very adventurous. These kids learn a lot of life lessons and mature throughout these books.
       I really enjoyed reading this book because I like adventure books. I feel that the author did a very good job with the way that the characters were written. I do wish that the author had written a squeal to this book about how the kids run the camp the next year because it would be really good. I wasn't really a fan of how some of the scenes were written but for the most part it was really good. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Text to Self - Call it Courage

The book I am reading is Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry. Call it Courage, by Armstrong Sperry, is a story about a boy named Mafatu, his mom was taken by the sea because his mom risked her life so he could live, his father is the Great Chief of Hikueru. Mafatu's greatest fear is the water since that is how his mother died, although he has that fear he knows he knows he must face it once he turns fifteen. Mafatu decides to prove he has courage and goes to sea in his canoe during the night, then a lightning storm brings a big wave upon Mafatu. Mafatu survives but he lost his knife, water, and fishing spear. Mafatu looks up ahead and there is a land, it was different from his island, it was not flat and it had peaks and green trees. The character, Mafatu reminds me of somebody I know because I had this friend who was scared of going on this ride at this water park and she was scared to go on it. We were there with a group with a group of friends so some of our friends called he...

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....
