The only way to communicate is by e-mail, so everyday when Nick gets home from school he checks his messages! One day Nick returns home from school only to realize there's no new message from his father. Nick automatically assumes the worst but since there’s no word that something has happened to him, he thinks nothing of it.

At school everything is pretty much normal. Oh, except for his teacher Mrs. Starch is missing, everyone thinks the schools scariest student, Duane Scrod Jr. [aka Smoke] has something to do with it, and they also think Smoke is the arsonist who set fire to the swamp. But besides that, yep everything is perfectly normal!!

Horse of Her Own

KBA Kritic #1 again :)

I've just decided to read Horse of Her Own, I have a feeling that this book will interest me.

So far I'm on page 11. But, I haven't had it that long. 

For as much as I have read, I discovered that it's about a girl named Jane.

--Jane has always dreamed of owning a horse. Her horse.

She rides at Sunny Acres farm, on a horse named Beau.

Only a few friends is all Jane has at Sunny Acres. The rest are pretty much stuck up. 

The last thing I can tell you is that a competition is coming up, on who will be in each Advanced Class.. and I keep questioning to myself..

--Will Jane get in the Advanced I Class?

--Will Jane make any new friends?

--Will she finally get a horse of her own?

I am gonna keep reading, so maybe I can find the answers to my questions.

I suggest that you start reading this book, it's an adventure.

Waiting for Normal

KBA Kritic #1 :) 

&& I'm gonna tell you about the KBA nominee, Waiting for Normal.

_______________________________________________________________

This book is about a young girl named, Addie, who is pretty much waiting for normal.

Addie's mom, or Mommers, is an all or nothing type of person.
--A food fiesta or an empty pantry.
--Happiness or sadness.
--Her way or no way.

Addie finally realizes that Mommers all or nothing attitude doesn't really add up to normal.

All or nothing doesn't really bring Addie all to home, where she longs to be, with her half sisters, everyday.

In spite of everything Addie goes through, she still remains optimistic. She know that one day her normal will come.

..and she will NO longer be, waiting for normal.
_______________________________________________________

This book, out of all the KBA's, would definitely be my favorite!
It gave me life long lessons. That to never give up, and never keep your head down. Because, eventually, everything will go your way. Waiting for Normal opened up my eyes, to see that not everyone has a perfect life. To just live life while you can, and take risks and chances. Just like Addie does in the book.
_______________________________________________________

So, before your  library runs out, you should go check it out now! Because, you don't wanna wait to see, just how normal, normal can be.

Game

Why hello, there lovely!!! Kba kritic #3 back again to tell you about my latest book!!! Its called Game by Walter Dean.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

High school senior Drew Lawson has dreams, But to him its difficult to have dreams in a place like harlem, his home town! Almost every day Drew witnesses, crime, drug and alcohol abuse, gangs and despair right outside his own home. Inside, he has loving and concerned parents, and a smart, supportive younger sister. Drew is a huge sports fanatic. He loves all kinds of sports...But he has one major dream. His dream is to become a pro-basketball player. Drew plays the positon of gaurd at James Baldwin Academy. During Drew's junior year there team almost made it to regionals. Drew really hopes their team is able to finally make it to the top this year.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

When the team meets for practice to start the second half of the season, they are in for a surprise. Two new players have joined. They are both white, neither appeared to have to try out for the team, and one of them --- Tomas from the Czech Republic in Europe --- is pretty good. The coach seems to think so as well, and starts paying a lot of attention to him. This annoys Drew alot!

Drew can’t afford to start too much, with practice every day, school work (including the challenging Othello) and basketball games. Drew also can’t help contemplating life in his neighborhood, how there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of difference between him and the guy selling drugs on the corner (maybe just a few damaging choices and the lack of a dream)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Walter Dean Myers has created a high-excitement basketball thrill ride. His knowledge and obvious love of the sport, insightful look into inner city life and superb writing talents all join together to make a memorable reading experience that is also a lot of fun.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Great Wide Sea

Hey readers! KBA Kritic #4 here. I am reading The Great Wide Sea by: Madaline Herlong. I am not quite through it yet but I'm close and thought I should post something.

Beginning: There are three boys, Ben, Dylan and Gerry. They live with their father and their mother died. They love to sail and go out on the lake. Their dad had always talked about going on a trip to the Bahamas.Well one day he did just that, he told Ben, Dylan and Gerry to pack up their necessary items the were buying a boat and sailing away for one year. None of them liked this, why now they just started the school year. Dad sold the house and bought a boat and supplies. The boys had to go along with it what more could they do? Dylan was like a astronomer. He loved the stars and to study them, he could tell you anything and everything about the stars. Gerry was only five he didn't do much but carry around a blanket all the time. Ben well he is a typical teenager.When everything was set they set sell out of the Florida Keys,where they lived. They sailed to the first island and stopped for a few days. This is what they did for a long time, stopping and going. They got to one island and stayed a week or two, they played in the water and shopped all except Gerry he did not want to learn to swim then Dad decided they were leaving but Ben did not want to leave. So they argued. OK I'll admit the beginning was boring but the middle....

Middle:When they left they went to a few more islands and at the last one Dad decided they wouldn't go to the rest they were going to sail to the Bermuda then on to Europe. Dad was excited but the boys...not so much. Ben and Dad fought again and then it started raining  and another boat started crashing into their boat. Gerry thought they were going to sink,they didn't but, their GPS was messed up. Dad got really upset and said they were leaving in the morning. Ben was really mad but in the morning they took off with only some radio connection and a compass. They went for three days and the third morning Ben woke up and it was 8 in the morning. That was weird because Dad didn't wake Ben up for his watch shift. Ben went got up and looked everywhere for Dad but couldn't find him. He woke Dylan up and they looked and looked but no Dad. In his Poems and books was a poem to their mom. It was about their mom catching Dad because she was the sea. A suicide note. They were devastated and turned the boat around to look for him but nothing. So they headed back to any island but they were lost. Dad hadn't kept any time so they had no idea where they were. Exciting huh? I thought so, but this is as far as i got.

I am ready to get home and start reading, I have to finish this book! When I finish I will let you know how the rest was, well have a great day!
