Rad Reading April

This month I read House of Hades by Rick Riordan. In this fourth book of the five book series, Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus with the last words to Nico di Angelo was “get them there” which was meaning to the Doors of Death in Epirus. The Doors of Death are in the control […]

BLOG 23

My favorite room in my house is my bedroom because I get to sleep in there. I get to play video games in there and I get to eat. I get to sleep in there and I get to play video games in there. My mom also likes to yell at me in my room […]

Rad Reading March

This month I read The Mark Of Athena by Rick Riordan. This story features 7 demigods, Leo, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Percy, Annabeth and of course, their violent satyr chaperone Coach Hedge. The story starts with the flying war boat Leo made with the rest of his Hephaestus cabin, the Argo II, into the Roman […]

girl in black

The girl in black sat at her desk facing a white desktop that was worth more money than she’d ever had in her life. It contrasted against the vomit green wall, and she squinted even though the screen wasn’t bright and the room wasn’t any brighter than a normal room in a mental health facility. […]

Ice Cream Taster and Slime Chef

If I could have my dream job, I would be an ice cream taster and a slime chef. I wouldn’t be lactose intolerant and I wouldn’t get fat. I could just say that all the ice creams were bad and I could take them home and watch tv and eat a bunch of ice cream. […]

Boo!

I finally became invisible! I use my invisibility to escape school and then I go to the secret cave where they keep powers to fly. Only birds and bugs are allowed there, but with my invisibility I sneak a flying power orb and gulp it down. I feel a burning explosion in my tummy and […]

Solidarity with Nature

I’ve been on the island for 25 or 27 days. I can’t remember. The boat was supposed to be unbreakable they said. I packed two suitcases, and I grabbed the one with clothes and jumped into the life boat but the waves overturned that too, and I was alone in the stormy waves. No one […]

A Big Fat Hole

Sometimes I feel like I’m stuck in a well, like the old fashioned one where you lower the bucket to retrieve the water thats stored there. I feel like the walls are slick with moisture that couldn’t escape the towering cylinder either. I can’t grab onto the bricks with no cracks and I can’t escape […]

January Rad Reading

This month I read Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. This is the 10th book in the published series, but is called the 9th book, because there is a book called 8.5, where half of the book is extras, like recipes and secret files, and the other half is the novel. In the […]

Dumbledore and the Dark Times

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” Dumbledore says this in the third Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Adults in this series often talk in metaphors, especially Dumbledore, but I think this quote is the clearest of many […]
