Macbeth

"Double, Double, toil and trouble. Fire burn, and cauldron bubble"
Macbeth is a tragedy, but a great read and a very well known play.its about Macbeth and lady Macbeth. During war the king is pleased with Macbeth and gives him a higher title. The king says that he will rest the night at Macbeths house on his way home. Macbeth and Malcom, his friend ride ahead to prepare for the king, but on the way home, the meet the three Weïrd sisters and they foretell Macbeth will be king, but Malcom the father of kings. Macbeth writes to Lady M. and tells her of the prophecy. Lady M. Plans to murder the king while he is asleep at their house, and Macbeth is hesitant at first but lady M. taunts him and he gives in. right before he murders the king, he has second thoughts, but the clock strikes, and that was his cue to go and murder the king. He uses the knives of the kings guards as to frame him. When the king is discovered dead Macbeth kills the servants out of "rage" but instead to silence them so they can't plead innocent. Macbeth is made king because the kings sons ran away fearing their lives. Fast forward and Malcom becomes suspicious of Macbeth and Macbeth sends murderers to kill him and his son. The murderers succeed in killing Malcom but his son gets away. At dinner that night, Macbeth sees the ghost of Malcom in Macbeths seat. Later Macbeth goes to see the Weïrd sisters. they tell him he will not die until  Birnham wood comes to the castle and he will not die until he fights some not 'born of a woman" of course Macbeth was very pleased to hear this for he knew these things were impossible. But back at his castle, Lady M. was suffering from nightmares, and was unwell. The forces of the people who were mad at Macbeth were in Birnham wood and to keep their numbers a secret, tore branches off the trees and marched to the castle. The scout who told Macbeth of the attack said "It looked as though Birnham wood was marching to the castle. later Macbeth was killed by a man who was torn from his mothers womb so he was not born of a woman.
Macbeth is a very tragic story. There are a lot of suspicions about this play: some think that lady M. and Macbeth lost a child, and that lady Macbeth killed herself to free her from the nightmares. like I said very tragic. But its also not a long book, and not terribly hard to read. Its something that I think everyone should read. Id love to hear your thoughts on Macbeth!

I Even funnier!

Yes this is the second book in the I funny series. I even funnier is about Jamie, after winning the New York's funniest kid contest, and the northeast's funniest kid contest. Stevie is still a bully, Glinda and Jamie are good friends, Gaynor gets into trouble and Pierce is sill a nerd. there are new struggles and old ones but Jamie is still telling jokes.
This book is actually a pretty good sequel to the first book. Some aren't but this one is. Its got its ins, outs, and surprises and that's what makes a good book. This book also deals with cancer, something that is devastating and becoming more common. It also touches on Chemo therapy and things that come with cancer. But it's also not something that they spend forever on. Overall this is a great sequel and I will defiantly recommend  it.

The Mysterious Benedict Society by; Trenton lee Stewart (Books 1-4)

the Mysterious Benedict Society is about a group of kids gathered by a man named Mr Benedict originally to defeat Mr Benedict's twin brother Mr Curtain. Books 1-3 (I'll go over four later) are about the children and their adventures as a team, going against Mr. Curtain and his infamous Ten Men. The four children learn about teamwork, trusting each other, and blocking their deepest thoughts from the telepath Constance.
I loved this series so much, and it is defiantly a favorite of mine! and I was very pleased when I found out there is a fourth book.
The fourth book is a little later. The children are high school age-ish and are reunited after a while. Constance is battling a telepath who is constantly in her mind trying to discover the location of the children and tai a telepath that constance found and led to the house of Mr Benedict. The Ten men are trying to save Mr Curtain from the safe house/prison on an island in the first book. But the MBS knows their plan and is trying to stop it.
I know I was a bit vague about the first three books, I'm sorry, but its been a while. But I discovered/read the fourth book recently and discovered that I hadn't done a review of these amazing books! so despite my vague review, I would say that these books are for 11/12+. they are long, and a little bit tough, especially the first couple chapters of the first book (lots of names of unfamiliar countries and things), But such a fun and interesting read! I defiantly  recommend you read them no matter what age. let me know if you've read these books and your opinions of them!

I Funny by: James patterson

I funny is a book about a boy named Jamie Grimm. a handicapped middle schooler, who loves to tell jokes. he lives with his aunt and uncle Kosgrov or "smiley" as he calls them. They don't laugh or smile any. Not even their three children. Or their dog. Jamie has trouble with a bully at school: Steve Kosgrov. yup the bully is his cousin. Jamie stands up to Stevie a lot because he's not scared of him. Jamie has four friends over the course of the book; Gaynor, Pierce, (boys BTW) Glinda, and "Cool Girl" (girls). After school Jamie zips on over to the seaside diner. Owned by his uncle Frankie. The diner is like home to him. He tests out new material on customers, works the register and has a great time!
I funny is a book about living your dreams and not conforming into stereotypes. But for me its also a glimpse into life as a public schooler. which don't get me wrong, I have public schooler friends and family, it's kinds nice to know what it's like. Its also FILLED with jokes. mostly good ones ;). I think the first time I read it I was a little young to understand it, but after re-reading it recently it makes a lot more sense. I think its a great book and I would defiantly recommend! let me know if you've read this book and what you think!
