The Ahsoka in this book is not the same Ashoka as the one in the Clone Wars that we all know and love. But surviving a war, leaving the only family you know, and then hearing they've all been brutally slaughtered can change a person. As we begin this action-filled story, we find former Jedi padawan Ashoka Tano carving out a miserable existence on the remote planet Thabeska, posing as Ashla, a mechanic who works hard and doesn't ask questions. But when the empire reaches its hand to the remote Thabeska, Ahsoka fearfully runs. She finds an almost-home on Radaa, a non-exciting farming moon that seems obscure enough. Until the Imperials decide to land on the planet and take over, taking Ashoka by surprise. She is torn between revealing herself and pretending to be Ashla. She and her new family must decide whether to rebel or to watch as everything and everyone they love is destroyed. After reading this book, I don't feel like it can stand on its own. I would love to see it become a series, like some of the other Star Wars series I've read. Star Wars: Ashoka didn't lack any of the grit and harsh reality of how cruel the empire truly is, and I liked it for that. This book was a really interesting read that I recommend to all Star Wars fans!

This book is so amazing! Readers can experience the miracles of God on Noah's Ark from the authors perspective. I absolutely adore the characters! In many ways they face the same challenges we face today. They set an example of how we should handle different situations the way God wants us to handle things. I recommend this book to people who are interested in the biblical times, and animal lovers.

I absolutely love this book. J.M. Barrie is a masterfully clever writer. I read this book years ago, and re-read it every year. It is a beautiful tale, beautifully told.

The final battle. The one we've all been waiting for. Riordan once again does an absolutely, utterly fantastic job with giving the characters depth. The seven are all on board the Argo II, and are heading towards Rome to stop the end of the world. Jason, the blond Superman whose mother died when he was two, and went missing from his family that included Thalia Grace. His character isn't as fleshed out as the others, but what we do know: He's afraid of breaking the rules, doing the wrong thing that will eventually cause the end of the world. We can all relate to this; Jason is perfection that has taken on a human form. Percy, all of our faves. the one we know most, has played as a pawn for the Gods Of Olympus like Jason. After losing his memory thanks to Hera, he is part of the huge plan to unite the two camps. His fatal flaw is not being able to let his friends take a blow, and this will cost him soon enough. He wants nothing more than to enjoy a quiet life with Annabeth, but it looks like the Fates have a different idea in mind for him. Although he has lots of boiling emotions inside, he hides it with all of that slapstick humor on the outside. Which brings us to Leo. He's the dude that could possibly become the new favorite, constantly cracking jokes, building things, and making awesome tacos. He has a dark past, too. His mother died in a fire when he was young, and he has always felt resentment and hate against the Fates for that. But you couldn't possibly tell, with all of the constant wisecrackers he dishes out. He may be scrawny and a little too obsessed with mechanics, but in the end, he's a very lovable character. But he's the 7th wheel. He'll never be able to fit in, and that is what disturbs him a lot during the mission. Frank, the shapeshifter, the clumsy dude with the baby face. Looking at him, you wouldn't think that he's been through that much, but his mom died at war when he was small. Also, his life depends on a stick. That's what you get for being able to shapeshift like the definition of awesomeness. Annabeth is the wise girl, the tactician of the team. She ran away from her house at seven, and has constantly gotten more powerful and wiser since then. Only second to building and architecture than Leo, is able to get absorbed into the laptop Daedalus himself had given her, and like Percy, just wants to spend a quiet life with him. She's really annoyed at Hera for taking Percy away, and her resentment may be a danger to the team later. Hazel has been given a second chance at life and intends to use it to the fullest. But rescuing the world might mean dying again, and she is afraid of this. She's a brave warrior, nevertheless, with a sick cussing supersonic horse that can reach the speed of sound. Piper, the girl whose ashamed of her heritage. She never wanted to be a daughter of Aphrodite, and tries to downplay her beauty with eccentric styles. However, there's more to her story than just that. The world is at risk of ending, and everything she'd ever known and loved would be gone. And the fact that she can't exactly fight is also what she thinks makes her a misfit on her team. All she has is a charming voice, a blade that shows gruesome scenes, and a cornucopia that is hardly worthy of respect. She's afraid of failing her team, and not being able to participate the right way. And Nico, the 8th. He isn't exactly a part of their mission but he will be helping Reyna and Coach Hedge transport a mad golden statue, the Athena Parthenos, across the Atlantic, using his power of shadow travel. He's in danger of fading away, but he doesn't care what happens to him as long as he's able to save the world. Reyna, the girl that has experienced a lot of heartbreak. Hera transported Jason to the other camp without warning when she was trying to get him. And Percy turned her down when she proposed. "No demigod shall heal your heart", Aphrodite had said. And now she has to transport the Athena Parthenos across the Atlantic with Coach Hedge and Nico. But it's worth sacrificing her life to save the world. She is Roman to the core. And lastly, Coach Hedge, the violent satyr with a soft heart. His wife, a cloud nymph, is pregnant, and he is ready to save the world, no matter what comes in his way. All of these demigods (and a satyr) area brave group working to save the world together. They will do anything to save their precious world, even if it means sacrificing their lives. But will they also be able to stop the Romans in time as well as Gaea? Octavian poses a serious threat to them in addition to the Evil Mother Earth, and makes things even more difficult than anyone could have imagined. Riordan's best novel yet; it's a crackling page turner. Don't miss this one. 5/5!

This book is really nice for young girls looking for a good book. This story, like any other story, starts with two different girls. Bean is a fun-loving girl who is friends with everyone and has a bit of an icy attitude towards her mean, older sister named Nancy. Ivy is a quiet-type girl who imagination takes her on the journey of becoming a witch. Both girls' moms wanted their own girl to play with the other girl. They finally meet once Nancy is about to get Bean in trouble and Bean flees to the retreat of Ivy's backyard with Ivy's help. Bean learns of Ivy's "spell" that can make someone dance forever, and Ivy learns of Bean's mean sister. Once their interest in casting a spell on Nancy that makes her dance forever is created, Bean helps Ivy look like a better witch. Then, they cross into different yards to get worms from Bean's yard so Ivy can create her potion. Once they get to Bean's yard, they get the worms, and start to leave. But once they hear Nancy sobbing, they think Nancy is crying about Bean disappearing. A little afterwards, they learn she's crying because she can't get pierced ears. Bean gets mad and screams at Nancy. In short, a series of escalating mishaps fall onto Nancy, and Ivy+Bean become best friends. Their adventures continue in this short-paged series.

It's so amazing Petey the cat got an Ineterveiw on his life. It was so sad and great it's funny when Li"l Petey was singing about POOP with his friend Molly. But even more funny when Commander cupcake came up haha. But the theme is love lasts forever and ever well at least all the characters are a family even with Petey. But Grandpa no do not count him.

Runt is a twelve-year-old son of farmer villagers. His best friend is stump who is the son of village bakers. All runt wants is to be a warrior like Steve. his parents (especially his dad) expects him to follow in there foot steps and be a boring farmer. When he learns that the top 5 students (out of 150) will begin warrior training. With the opportunity him and his friend work extra hard, but is it enough for the coming dangers of even to become a warrior? Read this book asap to find out! I thought that even though it was short, it was funny & honestly I think you will change how you look at villagers for a longggg time haha. Thanks for reading -Ajg15's Reviews

The second part of the story explains how Runt's ex-enemy Max spilled the beans about a bully named Pebble, Who lives with a wealthy family of miners. He said that they were planning a cave-in during the next planned mining test to hurt Runt as they thought that if Runt became a warrior, he would endanger the village! Runt now has very little time to save himself from a nasty cave-in, or he might not make it to the end.

The third book. Out of all the rest that I have read, THIS ONE explains the most. With Runt figuring out the shroud that has been stalking him, Breeze, he then finds himself standing with the rest of the village, at the fountain. Herobrine himself, the god who has been pushing and leading the mobs forward, was going to finish the village off! "No matter how many mobs I send, you just WON'T DIE!" They all now know that Herobrine MUST be stopped. If he ruled the world, it would make the nether look like a plains biome! Will they do it? Well, I have never read the rest besides the fourth one.

I can't wait to read it! I have been a huge fan of the series since 1st grade and I would love to have it as soon as I can! I really hope Lola comes back as she has been my favorite character so far. She is extremely happy and a good team member in Team Runt!
