Is This Interesting To You?

 

We're reading this book in English and I have to say, it's pretty darn good. I would recommend this book to any who likes to learn what it's like to be them. James and his family. If you like reading books that you could put yourself in, then this is for you! Or maybe, you could relate to these characters in the story. Hope you enjoy! (:

 

What Is It Like?

 

Have you ever thought about what it's like to be these characters?

If not, then this is it! You'll get to experience what it's like to be them!

 

Do you like up beat music with a little spooky in it? A little of entertainment; when you're feeling down; or just for fun?  Well if so, this is for you! This soundtrack has everything, you probably would want. I would recommend this!

Have you ever?

Have you ever  thought about seeing people, that were invisible? Being able to talk to them? Or would you consider it being scary to you? Having your friends tell you that they're not there besides them. You would tell them everything about what you see, but they still don't believe it.

How about having your mother call you, panicking and you wonder what has happened. Coming home and seeing your house destroyed. Having an evil spirit or maybe even an evil dog to come attack you. What would you do? Would you go to your neighbor who is psycho and could feel the spirits or go to the police? The police wouldn't do anything. Wonder why? They can't see things the way you can..

Can you continue this journey..

The book I chose, is called City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare. I chose this book because, this book seems interesting as I read the summary. It looks like the book could be mysterious or a myth. I heard that this book is just like Percy Jackson but instead this book is with a girl and has to go through vampires, werewolves, etc.
