The Penderwicks

If you remember, I said that when I would do collections, I would do then in different posts. This is what I will do. Of course, let's start with the first book. This is a book about 4 girls and their father. At the beginning, I thought the name Skye was a boy's name, but it can be both! It's a really great story and I have almost all the collection so this will give you a chance to know what the series is all about. :) Also, I love animals so if you love them too, this is a great book for you.

Description

This is a story about four girls and their father. Their mother died five years ago and it was very hard on them all. When the summer vacations were cancelled, they were sure they were going to have the most boring summer of all times but one july afternoon, their father said that a guy at work will be cancelling his family's vacation and said that the girls father could thane their place! So they left for Arundel at the beginning of august. Once there, they are mixed up in a fun and thrilling adventure about a mysterious boy and the rich owner of the house they rented.

How to rock: braces and glasses

It was really hard for me to understand at the beginning because there were a lot of theatre and cinema words and sayings like: "Come here wardrobe/Wardrobe, were are you?", stuff like that. But even though sometimes it was hard to understand, it's really going to help me because, I already have glasses, and sometime after Christmas, I'm going to have braces! So I'm going to re-read this book to help me out… if yo  guy's ever need help with either braces and glasses, you can count on me!

Description

Kacey is going to do the day's announcement on the school's TVs! To make herself pretty, she put's purple contact lenses. But her eyes are burning up and it's really painful! Then she learns that she has to wear glasses! About the middle of march, she has a dentist appointment. Her teeth were just a bit crooked and the dentist says she has to have braces! The day after her braces were put on, she goes to do the days announcement, and they don't accept her because the braces would reflect in the camera and blind the people! After that, her friends don't want to hang out with her because they don't want to look weird being with her. Will she survive the rest of the school years she has left or will she never become herself again? It's your turn to find out!

Skybreaker

As I was saying, now I am going to talk about the second book, Skybreaker. But before, I just want to say that this what I am going to do for all the other collections. So to begin, I don't know if you know what I mean, but you know sometimes the start of a book is boring, well this is the kind of book. But luckily for me, it wasn't a boring book overall! I can't tell you a lot about this book because it's the kind of book that you already predict the end. ( By the way, I'm sorry I took a long time to do another post, it's just that I had a lot of school stuff all of a sudden.)

Description

 It's about Matt Cruise, again, and when he was an apprentice for being a airline captain, the airline he was on discovered the very long lost airline, the hyberion. But his ship didn't reach the floating object. When they lay on land, Matt and his friends decide to go and save the hyberion because the captain that was on his ship, was going to steal the gold from inside the ship!

Airborn and Skybreaker

These are two books in the same collection and are both very good books. Even though I don't have the last book of that collection, it wouldn't hurt to talk about them. First I've got to tell you that I won't do a review on both books on one posts, I'll do them separately.

So let's talk about Airborn. As you might have guessed, this is the first book of the series. It's got a lot of action and personally, I loved it! I won't tell you the punch, but my favourite part was when the main character escaped from the bad guys.

Description

Matt Cruse is a sailor on the airship, Aurora, and he has called it home for two years because his father is dead. He is the only one in the family able to get some money because his mother and sisters are very poor and Matt's family can't afford four people to feed and all. When the ship is stuck in a huge storm, they had to land on a desert island. Once there, the pirate's found them, kidnapped Matt and his friend, they escaped, and so on. I really recommend it to you.
