Post numero dos!

What is one thing that you wished you could do as a child, and probably still wish you could do? I know i wanted to be able to fly with birds. Didn't you? What does this have to do with book, you say? Well, it has a whole bunch. We may wish to fly, but having this ability is a living nightmare for six kids; Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman (or Gazzy), and Angel. When they were babies, they were genetically modified to be 98% human and 2% bird. Where they were created is full of mad scientists, called "whitecoats" who are using another genetically modified creature called Erasers to capture them. Erasers are part human and part wolf. You can Join these six kids as they travel around the world, with Max at the head, trying to save the world, in the "Maximum Ride series" by James Patterson.

Also, along the way, Fang writes a blog, and you can follow it too at this website! (this is sort of where I got the idea of writing a blog...) http://maximumride.blogspot.com/

WOOT!!! First post!!!

Have you ever had a boyfriend that is mysterious? If you think you have, then you will think yours is an "open book" after you hear about this one! It all starts with Bella Swan. She is a junior in high school and just moved to the little remote town in Washington called Forks from Phoenix, Arizona. On her first day or school, she meets some nice friends, named Jessica, Angela, and Mike, and sees one bizarre family: The Cullen's. Their names are Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. No one knows much about them other than they keep to themselves. They all look like supermodels. The Cullen's "father," Carlisle, is a doctor at the Forks Hospital and their "mother," Esme, is a (as you could say) stay at home mom. What everyone doesn't know, is that the Cullen's are old enough to be everyone's grandparents, or great- grandparents (or in Carlisle's case, great-great-great-great-great-(or something like that) grandfather.) On her own, Bella discovers the secret about the Cullen's past; They are vampires.
Throughout the series, they have to deal with sadistic vampires, an evil family that is thousands of years old, newborn vampires, heartbreak, and surprises around every corner. This [sort of] modern day version of "Romeo & Juliet" makes "Twilight" one of the most popular book series to teens, and even adults, worldwide. These books include Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. This series is not only a hit book series, but also a hit movie series too!
