The 100 Cupboards: The Chestnut King

In the series The 100 Cupboards, I have moved on to book 3 (The Chestnut King) since I have last posted. This book talks about the main character (Henry York Maccabee) finally battling the evil witch Niamine. Niamine has currently taken over the king and his kingdom. (the magical world in which Henry lives in.) Her evil is slowly consuming the entire world as she grows stronger. It is up to Henry to stop her, and take down her wickedness with the help of the Chestnut King and his armies of Faren. in exchange for the Chestnut King’s help, Henry must take the place of him and rule the world of the Faren until Henry himself dies.
As I read this book, I am reminded of the series “The School for Good and Evil” which is also about a magical world of fairy tales. The two main characters themselves are evil and good. They command their own magical powers as well. These two books are similar in my opinion because of the magic used in the two books. Each person has their own kind of magic, and their heart commands how that magic is used. They can use their magic to stand on the good side, or the evil side.
In the end, I plan on reading the fourth book in the series, and then I will be finished. I love how the author has written many of the characters and how the books all work together. In the end, I am sad that I have come to the end of book 3, seeing as the main characters will not be in the 4th book. I can connect to this book myself for the reason that I have found myself fighting evil in my life, just not the same way as Henry. In all, I love this series and I plan on reading every book in it, and hopefully more from the same author.

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....
