BOOKS: The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod

Do you like books about friends,family,and a teenage vampire? If you do I think this series is for you.

Junior high really stink for thirteen year old Vladimir Tod. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friends. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: His mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers and no one to teach him. Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a strange substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely. Vlad worries that his cover id is about to be blown. But then he realizes he had a much bigger problem:He's being hunted by a vampire killer who is closing in . . . fast.

I loved this series and I am quite sad that it ended! I think that you will enjoy this too!

Do you like books about secrets,kidnappings,and witches and wizards then you would like this book about Whit and Wisty Allgood the witch and the wizard.

How would you feel if you found out your parents had been keeping a secret from you all your life? What if you got kidnapped in the middle of the night and were accused of being a witch or wizard? And then you were told that everything you loved--your books, your music,your pictures--were banned forever?
Meet brother and sister Whit and Wisty Allgood.
This is their story.
READ IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

BOOKS!



At my school we have a program called accelerated reader(A.R.). It is a website that monitors our reading comprehension. It gives you points every time you take a test and pass it. Now maybe your school doesn't have this program but you should still read books. Some of my favorites are Harry Potter,The Hunger Games, and Maximum Ride. They are all really good books. Tell me if you enjoy them or if you need other options.

Author's of children's books

I think that author's of children's books teach powerful lessons. An example of that is a book called Listen Buddy by Helen Lester. The story is about a bunny that never listens to his parents. He goes out to explore and almost gets eaten by a monster. The lesson of the story is to listen to your parents and others. Also author's have a way of adding facts to fictional stories like The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. In the book you read about Egyptian artifacts and gods while enjoying  a story about 2 kids that find out about a piece of family history that they never knew about it.  Author's of children's books have to be creative, and have a good imagination to make books that teach children lessons and actually want to read.
