Text to World - Keeper of the Lost Cities #7: Flashback

I am currently reading the book Keeper of the Lost Cities #7: Flashback by Shannon Messenger. Flashback is the most recent book in the keeper of the Lost Cities series. This series is about an elf named Sophie and her friends Fitz, his sister Biana, Keefe, Sophie's cousin Dex, and the twins Tam and Linh. In this book Sophie learns that she is not as strong as she thinks and with the new threat of Shadowflux threatening to over they don't know where to turn. Like always, in the end they think life is better. Sophie and Fitz confess their love for each other and think that everything will be alright. Little do they know that their plans will be ruined.
       In this book, one of the main problems is Sophie Foster's love life. There is a love triangle between Sophie, Fitz, and Keefe. It is suggested that both Keefe and Fitz are in love with Sophie and Sophie cannot choose between them. The only problem is that in the Lost Cities, relationships are difficult. Like some religions, you can only be with someone who is a "match". This can be determined many ways but like in the Islamic culture, this city gives a list of candidates to the one searching for a match. They make this list based on a network of people that they know that would be compatible. They then choose someone to get to know and then from there they form a relationship. This is a very important part of both the Islamic culture and the culture of the Lost Cities.
       Overall, I think that this was a very good book but before you read it you need to read the rest of the series. Shannon Messenger does a great job of reflecting the characters feeling into the book and making you feel the way they do. I love this series and all of the characters especially Fitzphe. This book is the perfect mix of love adventure and fantasy. The setting makes the book very interesting because it is in the Lost Cities and features Atlantis and a ton of mythical creatures! You should definitely read this book series.

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....
