Summer Reading Pt 4

I have told you that you should buy this book but I haven't told you why I chose it for my summer reading project. We were supposed to look up books that are winners of the Printz Award books from any year. When I searched the only one that caught my eye was the book Midwinter Blood. At first it was the title that really jumped out at me just the way it was written on the book in scarlet cursive then I read its description as it talked about seven stories that unfold into one main story that reminded me of short story called The Last Question which was amazing to me.

Specifically I would recommend this book to any of my family member because, one I already have and two, I believe that they would think it just as great as I do. Others would be people who love mystery books or books with short fast chapters with a lot of twists that aren't expected. And of course I recommend it to those who like the romance novels that get kind of soppy at times because this book has a lot of that. But yes go find and read this book because it is pretty great.

Summer Reading Assignment Pt 3

If you aren't already interested allow me to spark your interests for a second while i show you some of the thrilling parts of this great book.
"He is steps from the stone table, and there is Tor at his side as he is pulled backward toward it, kicking and screaming, screaming.
They rip his shirt from his back, cast him onto the table, still pinning him fiercely. The stone rips into his skin, the sun almost blinds him, but hi wide terror-starting eyes have time to see Tor draw a massive curved knife from somewhere. Hands it to Henrik, who steps forward.
In another corner of his tunneling vision, he sees a face he knows. A face he has known for always.
Merle looks down at him, Merle looks down at him, tilting her head.
She whispers to him.
"I followed you'".
Sedgwick, Marcus. "Midsummer Sun." Midwinter Blood. 53-54. Print.

So if you didn't understand that little bit from the passage what is happening is the main character, Eric Seven is captured on the other side of the island in a church unlike any he had ever seen and is about to be killed. If that didn't interest you that I don't know what will, I really hope all who read this go and buy the book.
