The Maze Runner Book #16 By James Dashner

Genre: Sci-fi, Action & Adventure
“She’s the last one…..” Several boys are trapped, nowhere to go, inside a maze unsolved for more than two years. Thomas has been sent here to do good, and thrives on the thought of being a runner without knowing why. To make friends isn’t easy when you're the greenie and when no one likes you, but Tom meets Chuck who is really so far the only friend he might make. The Glade is the center of the maze were four large gates (north, east, south, west) stay open till sun down protecting the Gladers from what lays beyond the walls. So if the Runners don’t make it back by sundown…  they’re dead meat. One kid a month along with supplies, but one day, it just stopped and that's when they knew they were never going to get another kid ever. Can Tom solve the maze and escape, or will he become another victim of the monsters that kill at night?

I found this book very interesting, in parts where loads of grievers almost killed Tom and Minho, and the mysterious griever hole.
What I found annoying, was that there were so many pages.

If I had to rate this book, it would have to be a 4 out of 5 because of long.

The Mysteries Of Laura :)

The Mysteries of Laura,
Catching bad guys, raising naughty ones.
Image result for the mysteries of laura book9/20

Comedy.


It’s a homicide or a suicide, each time. Laura is the best detective in the NYPD station, (2nd precinct). My favourite part is when Santiani passes away. Not in the way you are probably all thinking about right now, in the way Laura and the other NYPD detectives figure out who killed her. It begins with the security videos. Meredith the technology genius rewinds over and over again, when Captain Santiani is shot. It comes down to Santiani's ex husband. Santiani's ex husband was the violent type of guy but he was the main victim. The ex husband got into a very bad situation, these 2 men he fell in with at his work wanted a lot of money. He didn't have that type of money, but the men thought that normal cops get a couple of thousands, captains must get double that. Finally Laura and the NYPD detectives put the men into custody.

Tom gates best book day ever ( so far ) - 8/20

By L.Pichon


This book is about a boy called tom gates, he has a grumpy sister called Delia. Tom has to try and create a costume for this year's book parade his mum thinks it's going to be super easy to make but tom's not too sure compared to what happened last years costume. A boy in his class keeps going on and on about how awesome his costume is going to be and “how he's going to win for the best costume” he's going dressed as his own book “Super Marcus” I wonder what that will turn out as. Tom goes dressed as an Alien scale monster. Its cover in shiny green cards for the scales loads of fake eyes and a box for the head. His mum buys and old onesie to stick the shiny cards onto. As the day comes when they all dress up Marcus forgets his costume and has to dress up with something from the dress-up box. One by one each scale starts to fall off toms costume to reveal something super embarrassing. I wonder what that will be?

I rate this ⅖ I personally think that some things could be added to a background story or something else to make it more interesting to read. Other than that it wasn’t too interesting it was only about book week and how they swapped books and dressed up. That’s why I think there could’ve been some extra things added.

Just Tricking

Image result for just trickingThe book that I was reading was called “Just Tricking” the book was interesting because the theme of it was comedy.

The main character was named Andy Griffiths he had discovered his talent was tricking his parents in his early age, and even his friends, teachers and neighbors. One time when Andy parents left him alone at night he didn’t realize what to do, he normally does prank call but got bored and ended up doing nothing.

One time when they were going for a dinner party Andy father said, If you try any funny stuff at the dinner party I will stop giving you pocket money for a month. Andy was terrified because pranking people was his thing, but if he did he would stop earning money. Dad didn’t realize how hard it was for Andy to not to prank anyone there.

Andy wanted to prank some and called up chicken shop and started to be rude to the owner and started doing funny pranks on him, the person didn’t really like andy attitude.

Author: Andy Griffiths
Rate: 17/20
Dislike: I didn’t have any dislike
Like: I liked the book because Andy would do pranks every so and often
