The 39 Clues - Beyond The Grave

The 39 Clues - Beyond The Grave

Jude Watson

*****

This book continued on the hunt, they are at Egypt. They got some help from their grandma Grace Cahill. In the end they still don't know where to go.

My favorite part is where they went to the grave and seeing all those pretty things, Jude Watson discribed it very well. She wrote about the stars on the ceiling, the painting on the wall, she wrote so well that I could see the pictures.

Are You Sure?

“Are you sure?” asked my dad.

“Well…”

“I am asking you.” said my dad. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I think.”

We just had lunch in Plaza Senayan and we were walking around the mall, we saw the MG store, for no reason my dad and I walked in. I saw a trumpet, one of those sliver kind. It was the first thing that came in my vision. I am a trumpet player in beginning band. Since my dad knew the school trumpet is old and rusty and my parents are too busy to go to school and pay for the rental fee, we asked for the trumpet.

“Are you sure?” asked my dad.

“Well…”

“I am asking you,” said my dad, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I think.”

“Ok, it is your choice” my dad said as he took out his wallet.

“How much is this trumpet?” He asked the shopkeeper

“Rp1, 348,000 pak.” Replied the shopkeeper.

As soon as my dad handed the money, all kind of feeling came to me, glad, excited. With the huge excitement I waited for the shopkeeper to get the case out. After awhile he came out with a black box in his hand, a bit smaller than I expected, but it was ok. I carefully got the trumpet apart and putted inside. Right after I got my hand on the closed case my joyful feeling came back to me. “Its mine!”

*****
This is the third book, it's about Seh. After he ran away he became about of his father's gang, of coures he doesn't know that time. Then he met Fu and Malao. In the end they went to one of the cities with Fu's dad Sanfu which means mountain tiger. At the city they met Hok and found out that Hok is a she and a he and they also met Hok mother and sister.

My favorite part is where Ying's army attack in the city when it was also the first day of the Dragon Festival, they saw Hok's mom fight and was suprised, in the end Malao was cought and that Seh's mom is a part of the army. I like the way that Jeff Stone left a suprise in the end and also the fight style was awesome!

****

The second book of the series. It started of at the attack but it went pretty fast then it went on to Malao's adventure and how he met Hok, almost at the end he also met Fu and found out the his father is the Monkey King.

I like the part where Malao controlled a million monkeys attack Ying's army and rescuing Fu, Jeff Stone wrote it very well and I can really see the picture.

The Five Ancestors - Tiger

The Five Ancestors - Tiger

****

This book is about five monks with different fighting style: Tiger, Monkey, Snake, Crane and Dragon. When their formal brother Ying, the master of the Eagle style Kong Fu attacked the temple only five of them escaped, Fu the Tiger, Malao the Monkey, Seh the snake, Hok the Crane and Long the Dragon. They went on to find there past and also fight Ying.

My favorite part is where the five monks hid and waited for the attack to end. Jeff Stone discrabed it very well how the brother felt and how Ying and his army used Qiang - which is gun in chinese, to destroy the temple.

*****

This book is about a girl named Heidi and her finding her past and the meaning of soof. She went alone to a place called Mountain Top and found her father and found out that soof is her mom's nickname.

My favorite part is where she is in the train but there is a rule that says that a kid under 16 can't travel alone, so Heidi found 3 "moms" so people won't suspect her travel alone, it is smart of her to think of that idea, I also think that she is super lucky that the 3 "moms" would help.

*****

This book is about a boy and his story in his street and school. First there is the dream girl he finally met, a lot of bad things happened to her. Her mom in hospital, people doesn't like her because people say that she scares little kids like the main character's little sister.

My favorite part is at the camp fire dance, the boy's best friend danced with the prettiest girl in class named Chance, and when the boy's best friend got to Chance, he started saying:"the 'Chance' of a lifetime."
