The Pretty Committee Strikes Back

Decemenber 13, 2010
9:09 pm
Mrs Dubnik,
I have been reading The Pretty Committee Strikes Back by Lisi Harrison. Massie and her group along with Claires group loses a hiking race while on their field trip to Lake Placid. Her and Derrington plan to kiss but she doesn't want to kiss him in public. Since she will be kissing Derrington and this will be her first kiss, She needs some lessons. Massie makes a deal with Massie that if Claire teaches her how to kiss, Massie will help Claire get back together with Cam. That evening, Claire and Massie meet in the igloo Massie learned to make with Mr. Myner. Claire taught Massie when to know it is the time to kiss. She also answers the things thatMassie is worried about. I think this book will end romantically.
Sincerely,
Emily

The Last Olympian

Dear Mrs.D,
I have just finished reading The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. I was great book and I loved it. It's about the gods and the Olympians going to war to save Olympus against Kronos and Typhon. But Percy has bigger things to worry about. His 16th birthday is coming soon and the prophecy states that about a 16 year old making a big choice. With a little help from the gods they are soon in big action. Later on in the book Percy finds out that while Luke is hosting Kronos and Percy is fighting Kronos that he is not the child in the prophecy.But that the child id Luke and he knows his "chink" ,or his Achilles's heel, in Kronos's armor.With the help of Percy Luke stabs himself and "kills" Kronos for a while but he ends up dieing too. So Luke ended up dieing a hero and a brave very honored Olympian. Without the help of Luke in the end the olympians wouldn't have saved Olympus.
There was a good bit of vocabulary in this book. There were a few words that gave me trouble. So I just sounded them out and said them as best as I could. The author's choice of words enhanced the story greatly. He used throughout his series not just this book words and names from Greek mythology. It really enhanced the vocabulary because nobody could ever say the name perfectly. Some of those words were Kronos, Typhon, and all the monsters names.
There was a plenty of imagery in this book. there were places in the story that made me see it, hear it, feel it, and smell it. I could see it almost throughout the whole book, it was like as I read it was being played out in a movie in my head. I could see everything from Percy standing at the Empire State building giving orders, to him trusting Luke enough in the end to sacrifice himself for the saving of Olympus. I could hear it when Kronos ahd gotten into Olympus and started to destruct things. I could feel it when Annabeth jumped in front of Percy taking a knife to her arm and feeling so weak but never giving up. Last but not least, I could smell it when the city was in chaos and all the fires were being argued over.
Wow! Where can I start. There was a Humongus amount of feeling in this book. I think the author was trying to keep it at a place where it was bad but you wanted to keep reading and then ending it in something happy and relieful. In the text so many things support my thoughts. When they were fighting was the bad and then the good in the end was that Olympus was saved. I feel that this author could put across just about any message in a book and the reader would know what he meant. That is how i feel about the authors message. The only thing is tha it's different for everyone because everyone see's this story from a different point. As i finished this story I was overwhelmed and speechless. I just loved this story so much.It just left me with nothing else to say but oh my gosh this is such a great book ,not even, its a wonderful the best series I have ever read.
Wow!Once again as in all of the books in this series I have been so amazed by this author. He has put forth so much that it just overwhelms you and you just love it and want to read the books over and over again. I believe that when they say it's the #1 top-seller I would have to agree 110%. This author truly deserves an award for how much description he puts in his books and his persuasion in the beginning and throughout the whole book. Like I said I read The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.Once again and forever I reccomend this book to everyone and anyone.This book is the best and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have!
Love,
Haley

The Pretty Committee Strikes Back

December 8, 2010
Mrs. Dubnik,
I have just finished Invasion of the Boysnatchers. Now I am on The Pretty Committee Strikes Back. It has been Great so far. It is about the girls from OCD and the boys from Briarwood are going on a field trip in 2 days and they are getting ready. Massie, Alicia, Claire, and Dylan are going shopping while Kristen is still trying every way to pay for it without her friends.

With this being a book about a Clique, the feelings are normally angry at someone. Kristen gets her feelings hurt when Massie jokes about her not being able to pay for the field trip ( Massie was only kidding). Livvy Collins and her 2 friends, Alexandra Reagan and Carrie Randolph are slightly hurt when Massie is rude to them when they tried to ask Alicia about Nina ( Alicia' slug bag of a cousin.

In this book I can imagine a lot thongs inthis book. Massie's teacher Mr. Myner walks up to her when she stops texting. It says "His eyes seemed to look straight into her soul. I imagined a old grumpy teacher starring at Massie with a suspicious evil-eye. The author described Kristen's outfit by saying it was a hot-pink-and-white Puma track jacket.

This book is good so far. I wonder if Kristen wll go on the field trip with everybody else. Also I'm curious to see if Claire will get back with Cam. I hope Massie will kiss Derrington on the field trip. I can't wait to see how wild the drama will go.


Sincerely
Emily
THE CLIQUE...
THE ONLY THING HARDER THAN GETTING IN IS STAYING IN!!!
