This was an AMAZING book! It follows the story of Meg Murry and her adventure to find and rescue her
father Alexander, who was trapped on a planet of evil (Camazots) while experimenting with the 5th dimension for the government. Meg is emotionaly unstable I guess, because of the loss of her father, but her scientist mother (her father is also a scientist) and genius little brother Charles Wallace think she has a lot of potential. One dark stormy night, Meg walks down to see Charles Wallace heating up some milk for the scared Meg, shortly after Meg's mother comes down stairs like Charles predicted. You see, Charles Wallace can read Meg and his mothers mind sometimes, that is why he knew. Their crazy neighbor Mrs. Whatsit comes in and Charles reveles that he and Mrs. Whatsit are freinds. Near the end of the conversation Mrs. Whatsit mentions a tesseract to mom. The next day she meets Calvin (the popular kid at school, and the walk to the Whatsits house, and they reveal that that she and her two friends Mrs. Who and Which are celestial beans that are stars. They use the same concept their father used to get himself trapped to travel to different worlds. They Eventually wind up on Camazots to save their father. After Charles Wallace is possessed by IT (literally the evil embodiment of all evil in the universe) meg uses the power of love to save him and her father.
One of the main themes of the book is centered around Christianity and other similar religions show more the IT being the devil. in the book It wants to make everyone a miserable slave with no choices. And those religions believe that Satan whats to do that exact same thing. Another theme could be show less

This book is called Bone. It is about three "Bones" (small white creatures) named Fone Bone, phony bone, and Smiley Bone. Phony bone was a very rich Bone who tried to run for Mayor but was chased out of town with his 2 cousins because of how selfish he was. Fone is a nice bone with not manny skills to be honest. Smiley, well his name tells it all. While walking in the desert for day, a swarm of locus insects separate them. Fone meets a bug named ned, who takes him to the forest. Imedeatly after it snows, so he must survive the winter. Eventually he finds a young girl named Thorn who takes him to her house. Meanwhile Phony meets Thorns tough, cow-racing grandma and meet back up with Fone at the house. Thorn tells the bones that there is a big event at the town that involves a lot of betting in a while, thus leading the cousins to believe that Smiley might be there. They had to do a bunch of chores to prepare, but Phony being lazy leaves early and meets Smiley at pub. After Thorns house is attacked by Rat-Monsters they run to the pub and meet Smiley and Phony, and we are left with a cliffhanger of the king of the rat monsters talking about how he will kill Phony.
I think that the moral of this story is to be just and right. I think this because Fone tells thorn that the reason that they got into this mess, was because Phony gave the whole town bad plum tarts and was greedy and mean. That means that if he was better they wouldn't have been chased out. Another interpretation show more could be to stick together. The Locus swarm separated them so they were alone and defenseless. I give this book a 3 because I feel like we only get background info on the supporting characters. Thorn gets a flashback scene, and half the book Phony is talked about, but our hero Fone, not much is given. show less

This is a book about the jobs and carers of Ancient Greeks. One job is becoming a politician, It involved being a good public speaker. You had to convince people to vote for you. Like Pericles, but maybe not the best example because he was charged of stealing public money. There were also many jobs that involved fighting, like Spartans and hoplites. The Spartans were an elite class of almost super soldiers! To become one you had to leave home at the age of 7 and train all your life! Other jobs like Athletes and Actors required much less skill. All you had to do was have a loud voice and be funny or be fast and strong. This book covered many more such as Architect, Farmer, Oracle, Doctor, Scientist, Merchants and, Teachers.
I think the point of this book was to inform. I think this because It talks about very real things. But the part about gods. I know they are real because the author sited all her work in the front of the book. I also know because all nonfiction are true. This book is informing me on Greek jobs. I think i have learned a lot from this book and I recommend it.

This was a cool book and inspired me to be more curious and look for ideas to fix and make stuff.

In my opinion I was very disappointed with the ending. Almost everybody dies and Lemony Snicket just leaves the story with them sailing of to the mainland. I know he put out lots of disclaimers that it would be sad but I was still kind of sad that they did not just stay with Justice Strauss. show less
