By -
Justin's Note: Man these guest reviews are getting really good. I'm also planning on getting out some reviews of my own by the way. Anyways, this is a review from probably the first fan I had out of the US. Joseph Yu, who lives in Canada, is I think one of the first people out of the country to check out my blog. Anyways he seems to have written an awesome review, which after reading, I hope you go to a library near you and pick up a copy of Eye of Minds.

Book: Eye of Minds (Mortality Doctrine Trilogy, Book 1)
Author: James Dashner
Review By: Joseph Yu, Gr. 6
Summary:
Ever since Michael was allowed to sink into the VirtNet(a virtual world used mainly for gaming), his goal had been to conquer Lifeblood(the most famous game in the VirtNet) and become popular like the famous gamer, Gunner Skale.  But after witnessing a girl kill herself within the VirtNet after saying that she was trapped inside the VirtNet by a hacker named Kaine, Michael’s life changed forever.  Stories of people ending up dead after entering the VirtNet have increased rapidly, and VirtNet Security needs help to stop the hacker Kaine, who is somehow behind all this.  The Mortality Doctrine, a program built by Kaine, must be stopped.  Michael and his friends, Bryson and Sarah, being naturally skilled hackers, were asked by VirtNet Security to hunt down Kaine and destroy the Mortality Doctrine program.  But as they get closer to Kaine, Michael and his friends begin questioning his identity.  Who is Kaine really?  This book keeps you thrilled from the beginning till the end.
What I liked:
The story had lots of thrill, and had left my heart pounding after I finished it.  The plot is well made and original.  Lot’s of detail was put into the story and the author made it very realistic.  I also liked how the author was very specific with how the main character felt.
What I disliked:
Being in Gr. 6, I thought the story was quite dark.  There was barely any humor.  It scared me at a lot of parts, and I would be sweating and my heart would be thumping.  But overall, I really liked it.  I’m pretty sensitive to scary stuff, so this might be a easier to read for other people.

Rating: 8.6/10

    ROBLOX is driven by an ever growing membership base of over 300,000 creator players who provide an infinite variety of highly immersive experiences.

    These experiences range from 3D multi-player games and contests, to interactive adventures where players can take on new identities imagining what it would be like to be a dinosaur, a miner in a quarry or an astronaut out in space.

My first author interview posted on this blog (can you believe it?)! Today's author interview features bestselling author of Ungifted, The Hypnotist, Schooled, and Masterminds  Gordon Korman! I asked him a couple questions about his books, and writing in general,which he gratefully responded to. Q1-  What was your inspiration for writing these amazing stories? For example, how does one simply think to write about an ungifted kid going to a gifted school? A1-    My story ideas just come to me. I don’t want to question it too much, because I would hate to have it stop happening! But really, most authors don’t require what you call “inspiration.” We write because we have something to say. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling. Q2-  I feel like you’ve been asked this a million times, but your strategy for avoiding writer’s block? A2- Can you believe it? I’ve never had writer’s block. I think my reason is that I plan my story thorough...

OMG ITS A SPY SCHOOL- FUNJUNGLE CROSSOVER FANFIC *preview edition*

By -
 Merry Christmas to all! Sure it's still two days before but who says we can't celebrate early. As a surprise I'm in the process of writing a Spy School-FunJungle crossover snazzapalooza fanfic! Here is a little preview which I know you'll enjoy.... “Are you sure this is December?” Warren yelled from the back. Chip went and wacked him on the head with a newspaper as if he were an annoying fly buzzing around you. “It’s Texas you moron, it isn’t like DC! Instead of snow and hot chocolate they have sandy beaches and lemonade year round” You couldn’t blame Warren though; we flew over sunny lands grassy patches when just a couple hours ago we were fighting through a biting wind and treading through a snow just to board the plane.   We were trying our best to get along because after the whole stop-SPYDER-from-blowing-up-New-York fiasco the academy figured we were ready for some field work (who knows what they were thinking with Warren). The agency had gotten ...
