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!

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!
