2nd Book Review!

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Steifvater

This book has two main characters, Kate Connolly (Puck) and Sean Kendrick. There's one chapter from Puck's view and the the next is Sean's. They both live on a small island where everyone knows everyone else  but there's also Capaill Uisce (Water Horses) which are ridden every year in the Scorpio Races. The Capaill Uisce are brutal, bloodthirsty water horses which eat meat. They killed Puck's parents but, to keep herself and her brother alive, she has to take part in the Scorpio Races.
She is the first and only girl to take part so everyone wants her out, especially as she is breaking the unwritten rules again by riding her small island pony instead of a Capaill Uisce. The Scorpio Races are ridden on the beach although lots of the riders are killed because the Capaill Uisce will do anything to get back to their natural habitat - the sea.
Sean Kendrick is also an orphan, as his father was killed by the Capaill Uisce and his mother died, but he is thought to be the only person on the island able to tame the Capaill Uisce. Along with his Capaill Uisce, Corr, he has won the Scorpio Races four times already, but when his and Puck's worlds collide, it all changes.

I love this book because it's an amazingly written story about magical horses and it's not like anything else you'd read about fantasy.

My top 3 favourite animals I don't have as a pet!    (In no particular order)

1. Koalas

I don't know why but I just love them!

I want one like the one below! Soooo cute!

Awww they are so cute!

Who agrees? 

I love their ears!

And the expression on all of their faces!

LOL!

THEY ARE SO CUTE!

2. Pandas

I love these!

 'I'm sowwy!'

That's what he's saying!

I'm sure!

They are so lovely!

I could just cuddle them!

But they are bears!

So they'd probably eat me.

I think I'll just look at them!

Yes!

3. Foxes

I love foxes.

They are so sneaky and when you see one it's like a cat.

They're so cute!

Awww baby!

I had to pick from millions of animals though!

Here are some funny pictures of some other animals I love!:

Monkeys

Tigers

Rabbits

Penguins

Although I have one, I had to put this picture of Cats up!

My Animal Story!

'Woof!' exclaimed Roxy.

'Woof, woof, woof, woof?' asked Milly,

'Woof!' answered Roxy.

'Woof, woof, Coco!' said Milly, pointing at where Coco was running up to them.

'Woof, woof, woof!' panted Coco.

'WOOF!' shouted Roxy and Milly.

'Woof, woof, woof-a-dee, woof, woof!' said Coco.

'Coco?' shouted Coco's owner, Cathy.

'Woof, woof!' said Coco, leaving apologetically.

'There you are Coco. Awww are these some of your little friends?' asked Cathy.

'Woof!' answered Coco.

'Go on then, 5 more minutes!'

'Woof, woof,' thanked Coco, running over to his friends.

Coco, Roxy and Milly played around but then they saw Felix and chased him, barking.

'Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow,' screamed Felix for help against the advancing dogs.

'Meow, Felix!' shouted Snowy, beckoning him into one of the cats's many hiding-places.

Coco, Roxy and Milly went home with their owners and came back the next day for another playtime.

'Woof!' exclaimed Roxy.

'Woof, woof, woof, woof?' asked Milly,

'Woof!' answered Roxy.

Film Review!!!

Men In Black 3

For those of you who haven't seen the other films, I'm getting my guest person to do a guest review, for those of you who have, just scroll to the bottom and read mine! (By the way, we watched it in 3D, but it wasn't much different in my opinion and it doesn't really matter what you watch it in.)


GUEST REVIEW

Emily (my sister)
This is her review for people who haven't seen the other films.
"I haven't seen the other films so I didn't know if I should've watched them first, but it didn't matter at all."
"I understood the story straight away and it was really good."
"Agent J (Will Smith) needs to save his partner, Agent K from being killed in 1969 by Boris the Animal, who's an alien.To do this he has to go back to 1969 and stop Boris."
"I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Sci-fi, fiction, comedies."
"I'm only 11 and I thought it wasn't scary, except from Boris the Animal who was a bit scary because he had pointy, disguisting teeth and a scorpion like creature in his hand, ewwwww.
"I think the youngest age I would recommend is about 7 or 8."


Back to me!
 I agree with Emily on everything. If you've seen the other films, apart from a few jokes others may not understand, it doesn't really mention anything about the others much.


Holly Rates: 9/10

1st Review!!!

Yes, I know i've had this blog a while, but I just haven't had time to come on or post anything. So here goes:

The Host

The Host is another amazing book from Stephenie Meyer. If you're a Twilight fan and want something similar, then it's completely different. If you hate Twilight then don't put it off just because it's the same author because you will be missing out.

OK, so the book is all about Earth being taken over by aliens. Don't worry, it's nothing like you'd think. Wanderer, an alien, has taken over Melanie's body. Melanie was one of the few humans who survived the main taking over and, along with her brother Jamie and her friend, they were on the run until she got caught and Wanderer took over her body. Melanie fights Wanderer inside her head, which is not normal for the aliens, so Wanderer can tell what she is thinking and Melanie can tell what Wanderer is thinking.

There's no point in me explaining any more because it really is amazing and one of my favourites, if not my favourite, book. You can understand how hard it is for Melanie to be able to think, see, hear, and feel, but not control her body because another thing is doing it and she has to control her thoughts to protect her family and friends
