Book Reviews #10

The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan
Reviewed by Safiya in Grade 3

Carter and Sadie Kane have a big mission to complete. They have to save the world by destroying Apophis (The God of Chaos). They face many difficult challenges, like fighting demons and monsters. Luckily the gods help them on their way. They have a crazy plan and only 2 days to find out his secret name and use his shadow to kill him. Setne, the ghost magician is helpful but also betrays the Kanes. 

Safiya says: "This was the last in the trilogy based on Egyptian myths. I loved all the characters, especially Felix. There's a lot to learn from this book and Rick Riordan writes in a very humorous way. I recommend the book but beware, your parents will never get you for dinner on time!

Catching Fire
 by Suzanne Collins
Reviewed by Josi in Grade 4
This story takes place around 200 years in the future when there is holographic technology. With the press of a button people can create something which didn't exist before. There are 12 districts with poor people who can not afford food. The rich people of the capital city of Panem, hold an event called The Hunger Games. A boy and a girl, between the ages of 12 and 18, from each district compete in a fight to the death in these games. 

Josi says: "I loved it! It's way more dramatic than the movie. I was so absorbed in it."
