Skuldugerry Book 1

Magic, mystery, monsters, and a witty, fire-wielding skelleton are all elements that make up of Derek Landy’s Skulduggery Pleasant. It all begins with the mysterious death of Gordon Edgley. He was a noted author of fantasy novels that captivated his niece, Stephanie. His death triggers Skulduggery’s investigation of the Scepter of the Ancients, an all-powerful relic that exiled the old gods. But Stephanie is now the target of forces in search of the Scepter that are looking to manipulate its power to their own evil needs. Will Stephanie discover who’s behind her Uncle’s death? Will Skulduggery get revenge on his arch nemesis? Is magic all it’s cracked up to be?
When I showed this book to my classmates, they thought it looks cool, because the pages are orange, (how sad!) they didn't even care about the contents...and they even like the 2nd book , because it was green...:-)

The plot is not that complicated and is easily followed with intense fighting sequences, and enough twists in the story line make this an enjoyable read for both children and adults alike. Though for younger readers I would recommend it for ages 12 and up because of the action scenes. ! but I got this book when I was only 10.

A must read book...You wont regret it...Im reading the 2nd book, and I am glued to it..

Book store trip.

Last weekend, I get the chance to use the voucher that I got last Christmas, I went to borders with my mum, this is a massive bookstore here in Glasgow...It's up to 3rd floor, and you can actually get lost if you dont know your way out. :-)

My sister and I enjoyed it. It's like our sanctuary, my sister also loves books. I got 5 books for myself. I am quite into these "SKulduggery pleasant books that I got from my great aunt. So I bought the 2nd book...

It's probably my lucky day, because I also got the guitar hero game...I am addicted to it...it's on SALE for £39.99. I used all my pocket money , but it's all worth it...heheheh

Secret seven

Enid Blyton- is also one of my favourite authors. Unfortunately I only got 5 books of the series Secret Seven, everytime mum and I go to the library, we couldn't find no. 6 instead they only have 8,9 and 10, but I don't want to skip it. So I will wait, and might find my luck soon.

This series follows the adventures of a strictly secret society made up of 7 children, who like to solve mysteries that they happen upon, or actively go looking for!

The characters:

1. Peter is the head and leader of the secret society. He is very strict with members and takes his responsibilities very seriously indeed! -
2. Janet is Peter's younger sister. She is a serious member of the Secret Seven, who takes direction from her brother Peter, for the most part very well.
3. Jack is often seen as second in command and possibly best friends with Peter and enjoys being a loyal friend and member of the society. He appears to play a more prominent role than Colin or George in the adventures (he gets into trouble for being so forgetfull at times.)
4. Colin is not such a prominent member of the Seven as some of the others, but still gives a rounding to the group as a whole .
5. George is also not a very prominent member of the society but still appears to take his role seriously and with a sense of humour.
6. Pam is portrayed as a very giggly girl, who doesn't appear to take things as seriously and solemnly as the others. Pam can also be quite jumpy and close to tears at the smallest of things.
7. Barbara can nearly always be found with Pam, giggling about something as can be seen

I highly recommend this book to everyone, (boys and girls.) I got these book on my 10th bday. they're made for very light reading, good books for collection.
