I recently read The Lighting Theif, by Rick Riordan. It is the not-so-stunning start to a series of books with one of the lamest plotlines I have ever had the misfortune to read. It goes something like this: Percy Jackson is a normal half-god kid with dyslexia. First his math teacher tries to kill him, then some guy who is half-cow. Then it turns out someone stole a really powerful weapon from the king of the greek gods (who are real), so they blame him for no reason. He goes on a "quest" to find the weapon and almost gets gobbled up by monsters. Then he almost gets gobbled up by a giant who is currently chopped up into a million bite-sized peices. Go figure! Then he fights the god of dead people and the god of war right in a row and somehow beats them both. The End.
You see what I mean about this book being terrible? It has the worst plotline ever, if you can even call it a plotline. It makes you wonder what drugs Rick Riordan was on when he wrote this (terrible) book.

After ever After
Character change
In the book "After ever after" by Jordan Sonnenblick Jeffery the boy who had cancer is a teen who's in remission, but life still feels fragile. He thinks very little of himself and doesn't have someone to go to like he used to from his big brother steven who went to africa because he had enough in his house.The after affects have left jeffery really bad he doesn't do good in school.He has a big test coming up in math which is his worst subject but his best friend Tad helps him as his tutor.Tad is also a boy who had cancer and still does and is in a wheel chair he is going to have to get a transplant and doesnt make it and jeffery really changes from that by seeing that people actually cared about him and really helped him. Another reason why his big brother moved was because of the struggles his parents had with bills.
