Forever By: Maggie Stiefvater
I am recently reading a book called "Forever" by Maggie Stiefvater. It is the last book of the Shiver series, and I don't want to spoil anything for you, but something I will tell is this:Grace had been bitten 6 years ago, she hasn't been turned into a werewolf, which is weird. All the others were turned into werewolves, but not her. What has happened?
She, from the beginning to the end (?) has been loving a wolf, later known as "Sam" he is a werewolf, and a boyfriend of Grace. A gray wolf, with yellow eyes. Problems pass by, the wolves getting bitten, the people trying to kill the wolves not knowing that they are people, also. Werewolves can turn into people only when the weather is hot, and when it's cold, they will turn into a wolf again. It is very risky turning into a wolf when people are near by. The people are trying everything just to get the wolves out of their lives, forever gone, or to move them to another place, (Ex: Death, another country) Werewolves also has a limited years of turning into a person. It can be long, and short. It depends. By now I have read the part where the police, (a father of Isabel, who knows about wolves, and knows mostly all about them) is trying to get all the wolves to another country, and he is trying to kill them. I don't know if he will be able to accomplish his mission this time, since he has pretty much failed the last few times, but he has killed a few wolves by now. It's very risky, thrilling, scary, full of suspense, and it just somehow keep you reading. My prediction is that he might be able to kill some of the wolves, but not all of them. They might just turn into a human after all. Or they might be able to be away from when the polices try to kill them. You never know until you read it. :) Also, I am still reading it, so if you ask me, I will just say: "Sorry, but I have no idea.. Read it! :D" If you want to know what happens next, read the series!! And, to understand what's going on, you might want to read it from the first book, "Shiver" it is in the library, (In Ms. Jaya's room) but it may or may not be there since it's so popular now! :) It's so good! You can't miss a word of it. :D So, I give this book a 5 star!! Or more.. :) 5/5 100% :D
This book is recommended to EVERYONE! Go check it out! It is so AWESOME!! You can't stay away from it when you start reading it. :) EVERY SERIES!! :D If you speak English, even though you may not be such-a-good-English-speaker-or-learner read it. The reading level is Z, but I don't think it's that high. Even I read it, and understood it. :) So, PLEASE check it out. It's so good, you really don't want to miss it. :) Have a good time reading it! :)

Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander
This story takes place in nine different place in different time with main characters Jason and his cat, Gareth. Jason is a normal boy and he has younger brother. Gareth is a black cat with orange eyes. White sign of ankh was on his chest- and that was special! Gareth would looked like an owl when he hunched his shoulders and put down his ears. He looked like a pair of black silk pajamas when he stretched and when he sat on a window ledge, his eyes half-shut and his tail curled around him, he looked like a secret. It has not surprised Jason when Gareth spoke a word to him, but he was disappointed that cats actually didn't have nine lives. Gareth had secret power other than having lives, able to visit nine different lives. Anywhere, any time, any country, and any century. So Gareth decides to go travel with Jason.... Jason nor Gareth will not get protected, change mind in the middle, and both of them cannot be separated. Would they come back to their house peacefully without getting distracted..?
I'm enjoying this book because it has amazing details and creative ideas. they would travel into many different places such as ancient Rome, Egypt, Japan, Italy, and so on. I could picture it in my mind when Gareth communicate with people and how they solve problems. They would teach mini lessons to the king Neter-Khet that even Pharaoh cannot give orders to a cat and believe that every animals would follow him when he shouts at them. If I had such a cat like Gareth, I would want to visit the life in far ahead future and meet crazy scientists and see what do city looks like. What would you do if you meet a cat like Gareth?
I would give this book 4 stars(****). If anybody who are interested in reading fantasy and enjoy learning about history, you would definitely enjoy this book! It really explains about life in ancient city and how people were there. The sentences are very descriptive, and make readers visualize easily by including visual details(five senses). You can enjoy different views of the settings in the book by entering a gate of different places...! This book never let reader put down their book!
