On N. D. Wilson and his books.

N.D. Wilson is a fantastic writer and has written some amazing books entitled 100 Cupboards (3 book series) and Leepike Ridge. They both have a touch of terrific adventure and more or less realism.

The 100 Cupboards series is about a boy named Henry who goes to visit his Aunt and Uncle's house and while he is staying there he finds out secrets from his past, were he was born and some of his pretty cool relatives! N.D. Wilson recently announced that the 100 Cupboards series will be adapted to film! I am really looking forward to that!

Leepike Ridge is about another boy, named Thomas Hammond who lives near Leepike ridge. He never imagined that he would end up lost beneath it! He goes on an adventure that will change his life forever and throughout that life changing adventure he finds a corpse, a dog, a flashlight, a castaway, crawdads, four graves, a tomb and buried treasure.

Wilson is an AMAZING writer and I'd recommend any of his books! Ciao

The Mysterious Benedict Society

The Picture above is of Trenton Stewart.

Trenton Lee Stewart wrote The Mysterious Benedict Society in 2007.
It is a series, with two other books. The Prisoners Dilemma and The Perilous Journey.

Here is part of the insert on the pack of the book~ When a peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious tests. (And you dear reader can test your wits right alongside them.) But in the end just four very special children will succeed.

The main characters are Reynard, Kate, George and Constance.
They embark in some of the most exiting and dangerous missions of all time, in a battle against the evil Mr. Curtain.

This is a series that you MUST read! I have read all three at least three times! And if you want to know more about The Mysterious Benedict Society just go to~www.mysteriousbenedictsociety.com They have fun games and even more about the author. Ciao!

Mythbusters and Headrush!!

Hey everyone,

Today I am posting about two of the funnest ways to learn science. It is in these two TV shows, Mythbusters and Headrush done by the same people but both shows have a different twist. Mythbusters is hosted by Jamie Hynaman and Adam Savage. Headrush is hosted by Kari Byron who is also a sidekick on Mythbusters.

What they do is put certain myths to the test using science! It is extremely fun and interesting, you should definitely check it out! Headrush is on Discovery channel Mon-Fri at 4pm and Mythbusters is also on Discovery channel Wednesdays at 9pm!

The video directly below is with Kari, Tory and Grant, and the bottom one is with Jamie and Adam! Hope you enjoy the show! Ciao!

It's the most important thing in life right? ;)

Hi Everyone!
Me again, but this time were not cleaning the house or trying to find our love. BUT there are more videos! This one is me singing (for theater fans) an all time favorite song, and play for that matter.

Now for the unveiling... RA-TA-DA!!! POPULAR!
The song Popular became well... popular in 2003 when actress Kristen Chenoweth took to the Broadway stage and brought to life the character Glinda in the world of OZ.
(if I got the date wrong feel free to comment with the correct answer!)


I certainly don't match up to her but I think that you will enjoy the video. ;) Ciao!

The Princess Bride (A book review)

The Princess Bride was written by William Goldman, (S.Morgenstern is his pen name) in 1973.

The main characters are Buttercup the beautiful princess, Westley the farm boy, Vizzini the criminal philosopher, Inigo whose steel thirst for revenge, Fezzik the gentle giant, Count Rugen the evil master mind and Prince Humperdinck the prince of Florin.

As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, the reluctant Princess Buttercup is devastated by the loss of her true love, kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchman, rescued by a pirate, forced to marry prince Humperdinck, and rescued by the very crew who absconded her in the first place. (This is part of the insert on the back of the abridged version of the story by W. Goldman)

Some of the parts that I like best- The climb and sword fight on the Cliffs of Insanity, The parts when Vizzini always says Inconceivable! And the end were Fezzik acualy does something right and brings the horses!

This is a very interesting tale of true love and high adventure! This is not your ordinary fairytale it is jam packed with comedy! I highly recommend it and the movie with Cary Elwes, (Westley) and Robin Write (Buttercup).
Though unfortunately there are some instances where objectionable language was used in the book and movie.

Ciao!
