![]() I recommend this book to people who like surprises and magic and mysteries because this story includes all of those things. That part was just about what they did in a cage and it went on for a whole chapter. It wasn’t really interesting when they put Jack and Annie in a cage. On a scale of 1 – 10, I would rate this book a 9 because I really imagined I was with mean pirates. Also, I can’t even draw that realistically. I thought that the illustrator’s drawing style was very realistic. That’s why there is a carved M on the bottom of the tree house floor. ![]() This book reminds me of Afternoon on the Amazon because both books are like “Oh my gosh, I’m so scared” and then “miracle.” My favorite part was when Jack and Annie found out who the magical person is. Will they get their treasure back? Will they find out who the magic person is? Find out when you read the book! Cap’n Bones and his crew steal Jack and Annie’s treasure for a mystery magic person. In book #4, Jack and Annie travel to the time of the pirates. ![]() If they took a book off one of the shelves and opened it to a page, all they needed to do to get to that place was say, “I wish I could go there,” and…zap! They are there. They found out that the treehouse was full of books. They discovered that there was a treehouse in the woods. Ever like to time travel? Pirates Past Noon is about a boy named Jack who is 8 years old and his sister Annie is 7. ![]()

![]() ![]() The dogged and decent Neil knows he is much less intelligent than his subject EF - is also, much less intelligent than his creator Julian Barnes - so that, as in a late Henry James novel, the reader may believe himself to understand more than the narrator can. So the novel is in a sense a story of detection as well as a philosophical exploration of EF’s thought. He seeks help from her brother,a very different ordinary character, an amiable businessman who loved his sister, was on good terms with her, but shared none of her interests and little of her life. first made possible, though difficult, because she has bequeathed her papers to him. The third part is an attempt to reconstruct her biography. To some an independent scholar whose books are unavailable might seem a laughable figure. ![]() The second is an essay he has written on the Apostate which explores some Christian myths and asks, though clearly cannot answer the disturbing question EF put to her class. She had published two books: Explosive Women, about female anarchists in London between 18 and Our Necessary Myths, about nationalism, religion and family. The first part of the novel tells of EF’s teaching, the lunches Neil had with her and his speculation about her. ![]() ![]() ![]() It isn't that far off to think they could all be in the same universe. Moreover, we already know that the Wicked Villians series happens in the same universe as the Sabine Valley series. And in both series they mention "The Thirteen" and talk about how Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are legacy titles. Also, in both series Zeus is a rapist, murderous SOB. In Wicked Villians Hercules is Zeus' youngest son, he has older brothers, and he flees Olympus and starts working as a waitress in Carver City and eventually falls for Hades and Meg. Is it possible that they are father and son and they don't know each other is alive?Īlso, in Neon Gods it's mentioned that Zeus' youngest son, Hercules, has fled Olympus. And Hades' (Dark Olympus) father is alive and he doesn't know it. ![]() What i'm thinking is that Hades' (Wicked Villains) son is alive and he doesn't know it. Hear me out, Neon Gods Hades is about 30 and the Hades in Wicked Villains is in his 50s. Is it possible everything happens in the same universe? I'm specifically referring to the Dark Olympus series and the Wicked Villians series. ![]() SPOILER ALERT FOR NEON GODS AND LEARN MY LESSON ![]() ![]() ![]() and fun!

Early in the play, Caesar returns to Rome and is warned by a soothsayer to “Beware the ides of March” (March 15th.) Near the play’s mid-point, the ides arrive, and the soothsayer is proven correct. Brutus’s participation both lends moral authority to the act and will help get others to take part. However, even in the opening acts much of the story revolves around Brutus, because Cassius knows Brutus must be on-board because he’s both popular and respected. ![]() Unlike Brutus, Cassius mostly wants Caesar dead because of jealousy over the dictator’s power and popularity. In the first half of the play, the conspirators are assembled and the conspiracy planned - with Cassius leading the charge. ![]() The lead is Brutus, the one member of the cabal of executioners that kill Julius Caesar who does so because he truly believes that Caesar has too much power and that the Roman leader’s ambition will result in yet more power flowing to him at the expense of Romans.

Page citations in this guide refer to the First Avon, 2004 edition. At first, Firepaw faces discrimination from his new Clanmates because of his house cat roots, but he ultimately learns that loyalty is determined by choice, not origin, a lesson reinforced by the discovery of treachery within his very own Clan. Into the Wild follows Firepaw, a house cat-turned-warrior who discovers the difficulties of survival and the rewards of fellowship after he leaves his domestic life behind to become a warrior of ThunderClan.

In so doing, they hit upon a dark conspiracy of deceit, betrayal and - perhaps unsurprisingly - murder. The story then follows Bobby Jones and his childhood friend, Lady Frances “Frankie” Derwent, who resolve to honour the dead man by deciphering, and then answering, his final question. ![]() ![]() The three-part adaptation of the 1934 novel is about a mysterious death (of course) with a man lying dying at the foot of a cliff, apparently the victim of an accidental fall with his final breath, he utters the mysterious question of the title and promptly expires.

Unfortunately, his punishment is to be sent to fight the infamous sorceress of the Midnight Sea, which results in his capture.Īnd this is where Tress’ adventure begins. However, the duke underestimates the strength of Tress and Charlie’s friendship, and Charlie successfully bores the noble girls away (I know this sounds weird, but this is Sanderson and he loves his goofy camp). But when his father discovers their budding romance, he takes the boy to court and attempts to marry him off to a young woman with more status. Tress is our main character, a teenage girl with simple wants, who also happens to be in love with the duke’s son, Charlie. TRESS OF THE EMERALD SEAS might well have started with “Once Upon a Time” because it has much the same tone as any fairytale–original or modern. ![]() |
