Peter Pan

This week I read an awesome book called Peter Pan (not abridged) it is about a girl called Wendy and her adventure to Neverland. At first she lives a normal life until she catches Peter Pan's shadow and then he tries to get it and put it on with soap!

When Peter puts pixie dust from Tinkerbell on Wendy, John, and Micheal they fly out through the window and off to Neverland (with Nana the dog barking at them). Once they get to Neverland the evil Captain James Hook and his crew starts shooting cannonballs at them! They way of Neverland is like a sibilant circle, Pirates chase the Lost boys who chase the Redskins who chase the pirates. My favorite part is when at the end the Indians and Pirates have a huge war. The book was great and I recommend it to everyone but just remember you can do anything with a pinch of pixie dust (=

Where's My Mummy?

For awhile now we've been learning about Ancient Egypt at Riverside Scholars. Like did you know that Egypt was once divided into to parts? Upper and Lower Egypt but then they both fought one great war that would decided who would rule Egypt. Upper Egypt and The White Crowned King, King Narmer defeated Lower Egypt and the Red Crowned King and took hid crown away and put it on top of his own crown. There were many pharaohs and queens of Egypt the Egyptians were polytheists that means that they worship many Gods but that all changed this one time. There was once a pharaoh of Egypt named Amenhotep he was pretty normal for a few years, he sent out armies to stop rebellions, he married a Nubian princess, and worshiped the gods but then everything changed, he know told the people of Egypt that the gods didn't exist and that the only god was a god named Aten. The people were horrified and were forced to move into another city, build monuments of the god, and change there religion to Monotheism which means to worship one god. After Akhenehaten ( he changed his name) died the people rebelled and moved back to their usual way of life. I sure learned a lot when we studied Egypt who nows mabye the curse on Tut's tomb is real.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

Today I finished an exciting book called Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.

My favorite part of the book is when she does an attack on the wild dogs cave and kills many of dogs and then takes a wounded one and tames it. At the beginning these white men called the aluets come and kill many of the Indian warriors then escape. The Indians flee thinking the aluets might come back but only one is left your thinking Karana right? Wrong, it's her little brother Ramo. So Karana jumps out of the boat and go's back to save him. Later he is killed by wild dogs.
Next, Karana does a bunch of things to survive. At one point she finds a beached whale and the she kills a walrus and a giant devilfish. She makes many friends on the island a wild dog named Rontu and his son Rontu-aru, an otter named mon-a-nee and two birds Tainor and Lumari.

I really liked the book and I think the author wanted it to be about a girl Robinson Crusoe and her way of survival. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure book.
