The Double Life Of Pocahontas

The Double Life Of Pocahontas
By: Jean Fritz

Everyone knows the story of Pocahontas right? Well, that is exactly what this book is about. The only difference is that this book has a little more detail than we know. Still, this book tells the story of pocahontas and her tribe with her father the great chief Powhatan and pocahontas and the English settlers and Captain John Smith. In the book when she meets the English settlers and John Smith everything is different for her and he is adopted into her tribe. But for Pocahontas things and choices are getting harder and harder for her to make. So, you can see that the title fits in with the story because Pocahontas has the double life, one with her tribe and the other with the English settlers, but does she choose.... NO...... she is then kidnapped by the settlers and forced to live as one of them.

I would recomed this book to others.

Kissing Coffins


Life in “Dullsville” has become far from dull for goth-girl Raven. After meeting Alexander Sterling—a night-thriving, shadowy dream guy—her dark world suddenly has a bright glow. But as in her favorite movie, Kissing Coffins, Raven knows that love always has its complications. And Alexander has a secret; a secret she must quietly guard. When he mysteriously disappears, Raven finds herself on a dangerous chase to find him. What she encounters is more terrifying than she could have imagined—including a life-transforming decision she may not be ready to sink her teeth into. Ellen Schreiber presents a chilling and suspenseful sequel to her popular tale of an unusual teen romance, Vampire Kisses.

Vampire Kisses


Raven Madison isn’t your regular sixteen year old girl. Well, in some ways she is. No one understands her, her once cool parents sold out to the real world and most of the clothing she owns is black. Even since she was a child, she was never part of the ‘in’ crowd. When her kindergarten teacher asked everyone in the class what they wanted to be, most answered that they aspired to be a doctor, nurse, astronaut or even a football star but when the question came to Raven, she paused then said she wanted to be a vampire. From the very start of the book, author Ellen Schreiber sets the tone. “’I want to be ... a vampire!” She shouted to the shock and amazement of Mrs. Peevish and her classmates. For a moment she thought her teacher started to laugh. From that moment on she had been an outsider.

A Countess Below Stairs

So, hopefully this post will bring me on the field trip. Anyway, as you can see, I am writing about a very good book by Eva Ibbotson called A Countess Below Stairs. It is about a young Russian countess (der) named Anna who finds herself penniless after the Russian Rebellion. In an attemtpt to get more money to support her unwell mother, she takes on a job as a servant in the house of the earl of Westerholme, hiding her true identitiy as an aristocrat. She begins to fall for Rupert, the young earl, and he seems to return her feelings. But he is very poor and must have a source of money. A source which comes in the form of a fiance named Muriel, beautiful and gentle when she knows there are others looking on, but in truth a nasty and malicious... evil person. I highly recommend it, it was very, very good.

Maximum Ride- The Angel Experiment

I recently finished a very good book called Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. It's about 6 kids named Max, Fang, Iggy, the Gasman, Nudge, and Angel, who had bird DNA grafted onto theirs. This gave them wings and lots of other abilities. Angel can read minds, Gasman can imitate anyone's voice, and so on. They are all stronger and faster than a full-grown man, but not the Erasers, which are wolf-humans that exist to kill them. They used to live in a place called the School, where various unsavory experiments were done on them, until a man named Jeb rescued them, then disappeared after living with them for 4 years. Now they are on their own, and Angel has been kidnapped by the Erasers. They must journey back to the School to find and rescue her. And do some other stuff. Like save the world- supposedly- in the later books- which I haven't read- so I don't know. Read it.
