Blog Buddy Field Trip!

Two days ago the 8B team of Heritage Middle School drove one hour to meet our blog buddies. Some of us were nervous about meeting new people but the rest were excited to meet them. It was fun seeing everyone in one big area and waiting to see our buddies. When we got our buddies, some were shy and  some were funny. We had to do a scavenger hunt with our phones. Turned out we didn't need to take pictures, just fill out the form. After we finished we went to play basketball and soccer. After playing we went to lunch. Our school gets regular milk, they get chocolate milk. They also have recess and no uniforms. They are lucky but our school has a bigger gym which is fun for activities in PE

The Inquisitors Mark By. Dianne K. Salerni

The book has a couple main characters. Jax Aubrey is unique. He and his guardian Riley Pendare/Pendragon are Transitioners, people who are able to experience a special eighth day  between Wednesday and Thursday, and have a family magic talent (Jax’s is inquisition, Riley has the voice of command). They are able to protect and to fight the Kin,  super-powerful magic people, all with different talents. Some Kin, like the Evangeline, are good, while some Kin are evil and want the eighth day to be the only day. All was going well, until Jax’s former best friend, Billy, was kidnapped because he knew Jax. Not only that, but he was kidnapped by Jax’s uncle. And Jax’s dad had told Jax that he had no other relatives, besides his mother’s cousin, so what is going on? When Jax is forced to join his family, and the evil Transitioners that they serve, he can’t believe it. They work for the enemy and they want Jax to join them. But, Jax is loyal to Riley and Evangeline. So Jax is either going to die not joining the Transitoners or live and betraying Rliey and Evangeline. Overall this book was good. Lots of moments where you got to think and and really figure out what's happening. They author put detail into the plot and into the characters. Anyone will enjoy reading this book. Overall I'll give this book. 8/10.

Ending of Dead End

Dead End in Norvelt was overall a really good book and not so good a book for the following reasons. I didn't like when Jack pulled the trigger of his dad's gun and go grounded for life. In my opinion I think it was really unfair. His dad was teaching him safety lessons about guns. If he fired the gun his dad should know it was by accident. Instead he assumed he was playing with it on purpose and grounded him for life. But when he accidentally mows his mom's cornfield she got really furious and grounded him for life. Later on in the book Jack finds him self in a mystery case. First he needs to find out who's been killing the towns elders and who loaded his dad's gun. He also might think the elders died from natural causes. But he still needs to find who loaded his dad's gun. The ending really surprised me since Jack finds out who loaded the gun and who was killing the elders. The person who were killing the elders promised this woman to kill all the original Norvelters. Overall this book was really good. Two different mysteries in one book are better than one. Overall I'll give this book 9/10
