Choice Book Report/ Recommendation

                Evil Star: this was a good book and that’s a good report because I hate reading. This is the second book in the gatekeepers series by anthony horowitz. I would recommend reading the first book, Ravens Gate first otherwise this book might be a little confusing. I liked this book because it kept you guessing there was always something going on, always some action in the story. It kept me guessing the whole story. It wasn’t like those books you read and you can predict every thing that’s going to happen next, It was always something you never would have thought of. This book was also very desciptive you felt almost as if you were in the story.

 This book is about a fourteen year old boy named Matt, who is involved in a secret oganization called the nexus. The nexus is an organization that is trying to save the world from The old ones. There are few Old Ones left and they are going around trying to open gates so that all the spirits of fallen Old Ones will escape and destroy the world.  Matt’s job is to keep the old ones from opening the gates. He goes to Peru where the next gate is going to open and He meets another boy like him named Pedro. Pedro is also a gatekeeper.  Matt and Pedro Have a lot in common. At first they fight and don’t get along very well but they get to know each other and they save each others lives eventually. They also saw into the future and saw their families deaths. They both warned their families but neither of them listened and they both got killed. Pedro ended up living in a shanty town and Matt went through several foster homes.

Conflicts: Starstruck

This book had a lot of conflicts. The main character, Miranda, was faced with many problems. One night while attending a dinner party at superstar Bryon Slaters house, her and a friend wandered off to observe the garden and statues. While they were walking Miranda's friend heard a growl but Miranda said she didn't. They walked a couple more steps and a tiger burst out of the bushes but as soon as it did it got tranquilized.

     This story is all about conflicts. Everything they talked about was conflicts and all them involved Bryon Slaters bloodthirsty fan "Starstruck".
     I'll name a few conflicts Miranda had to face and all the secrets she had to keep.
     One day while Miranda was swimming in the pool she suddenly noticed herself all alone. Then she started hearing some one whispering her name. She thought it was just the wind but she was mistaken. She heard her name and quickly glanced over to where it had come from, ten she saw a shadowed figure lurking behind a poolside statue. Suddenly the statue tipped over and fell almost drowning her in the pool. Miranda had to keep this secret for a very long time but eventually she told Bryon. Bryon and Miranda bonded. They talked about their issues and what's going on in their lives but mostly they talked about starstruck and how she might be within the gates of Bryon's estate.
     Another time Miranda was dressing to go to a formal dinner. After she was done dressing she went to put on her bouquet and in the bouquet box was a heart. A raw, bloody, heart. She just forgets about all of what just happened and hoes to the dinner. While she is eating dinner with Bryon, his people, and the other contestants a mob swarms the diner. They think they can escape out the back door but as soon as they leave the mob runs around and attacks Bryon and his bodyguard. His bodyguard was stabbed to death and Bryon gets stabbed too.
     Miranda has no idea what to think now. I think If I was Miranda I would be twisted tighter than a pretzel.

Bryon's bodygaurd is killed and he is injured. Then later that night Miranda overhears a conversation between Bryon's publicist and agent. She heard that Bryon's bodygaurd had been stabbed to death in the crowd. The next day Bryon's publicist tells Miranda that she wants to talk to her in private. When Miranda goes up to her room to talk to Peg, the publicist, She finds her body in the hottub on her balcony. Then Miranda get knocked out. She wakes up in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere. She sees two people on either side of the cabin one is Bryon's "friend" Nick and on the other side is Bryon. She sees that they both hold guns in their hands. They start arguing about how Bryon is starstruk and that he did everything to get sympathy. Then one of them fires a shot Miranda gets up and starts running toward the road, but she trips and falls over the gaurdrail. She barely gets ahold of the gaurdrail but now she is dangling over the edge of a shear 200 foot drop. She then sees Nicks face and he tells her to grab his hand and to trust him. As soon as she grabs hold of his hand he lets go but she grabs ahold of a tree root. Then when Miranda looks up she sees Bryon and Nick fighting. Bryon starts pushing Nick over the edge as hes getting pushed over the he reverses the attack and throws Bryon over the edge. Nick then helps Miranda up and brings her back to the house. I guess Bryon really was the bad guy after all.

San Diego

    It was December 27, a below zero day in Minnesota, and I'm glad i wasn't here. I was in San Diego, California with my family. We arrived in San Diego at around 2 in the afternoon. It was really, really hot there. I think it was in the 80's. The first thing we did was rent a car and checked into the hotel. Then we drove around and looked at the scenery. I tried to take a nap but i had an ear ache from the flight. My ears felt like somone stuck toothpicks in them. but we did tons of awesome stuff like going to the zoo, the amusement park, and we saw shamu. [:

Broken Jaw

      June 5, 2010. It was a tragic day. It all started out with a baseball tournament in Becker. I was having a very good day at the plate, one of of the best i had all season. I made a couple of good plays in the field. Then in the bottom of the fifth, I was playing the bench. I went out on the field to warm up the right fielder when all of a sudden, black for a second, when I recover, a sharp pain in the side of my face. I just got drilled in the face by a baseball. I walked off the field and nobody except the third baseman and first baseman knew what happened. My jaw just didn't feel like it was aligned right. I went to E.R and they told me my jaw was broken in two places five weeks of my season were gone.

Helo my name is Hunter. I play baseball and footbal and I wrestle. I like to hunt and fish. I like hanging with friends and going biking all day.
