Today my topic is about books. The first type of books I would like to talk about is the <em>Little House <\/em>series. There are about nine books in the series. The things\u00a0in each book that never change are the facts that Laura Ingalls is the main character, her sister Mary is another main character, the third oldest ( by the way, Mary is the oldest and Laura is second oldest ) is Carrie, who&#8217;s real name is Caroline, their brother Charles Frederick ( who sadly died at the age of one ), and finally, the youngest, Grace. They are pioneers, who orginally lived in Wisconsin, but moved out West to the Indian Territory. Then they moved to Minnesota, and finally found their way to Dakota Territory, which is as far as I know. The book about their moving to Dakota Territory, <em>By the Shores of Silver Lake, <\/em>is my book report book for the Newbery Honor books. Yes, they made it big-time to the Newbery Honor. There is one more thing you need to know about this unique series. It is the life story of Laura Ingalls ( who later became Laura Ingalls Wilder upon her marriage to Almanzo Wilder ), who is also the author of those luxurious books.<\/p>\n<p>The next book I would like to talk about is the <em>Pokemon<\/em> series. Pokemon are creatures who have powers and moves that Trainers( people who catch and train Pokemon ) use in Pokemon battles. They also have types. Pokemon with a certain type can have a type that Pokemon is vulnerable to. For instance, Water is vulnerable to Electric. You got what I&#8217;m saying now? Allow me to give you a list of Pokemon types : <em>Grass, Water, Fire, Ice, Poison, Rock, Ground, Steel, Flying, Fighting, Dark, Normal, Ghost, Dragon <\/em>and a few other types if I missed any. That&#8217;s pretty much all I have to say about Pokemon.<\/p>\n<p>Another series that is quite popular is <em>Star Wars.<\/em> This series is about guardians of the galaxy called Jedi, and an evil group of people called the Sith, who later became the Empire. Chancellor Palpatine proves to be Darth Sidious, head of the Sith, and the person who killed Mace Windu, a Jedi Master. There is also Jabba, a crime lord who controlled alot of space along Tatooine, the planet where he lived. Jabba hires people called bounty hunters to track down aliens and bring them back, dead or alive. But if it&#8217;s a matter with kidnapping, then of course he would want them alive! He pays the hunters good wages. The Sith use bounty hunters, too. Probably the greatest bounty hunter of all time would be Boba Fett. He became a bounty hunter after his father, Jango Fett, also a bounty hunter, died because of Mace Windu. Now let&#8217;s turn this back over to the Jedi. Their weapon of choice is the lightsaber, a handle then when activated can produce an energy in the shape of a blade that can cut down anything except another lightsaber blade. Now let&#8217;s do two more books before I sign off.<\/p>\n<p><em>Diary of a Wimpy Kid <\/em>is another series. It&#8217;s a very funny series, about a boy starting middle school named Greg Heffley. Greg has an embarrasing mother, a not too cool father, a very violent older brother named Rodrick, and a young annoying treated-like-a-prince brother named Manny. With his friend Rowley Jefferson, he starts middle school. He starts as a nobody, but then pretty soon ranks it up a pretty rememberable student. There is also something called the Cheese Touch at his school. You see, long ago, the cheese was dropped from a cheese sandwich onto the basketball court. Then a kid named Darren Walsh touched it and started the Cheese Touch. Gotta run, let&#8217;s quickly do this last one!<\/p>\n<p><em>The 39 Clues <\/em>is the next beloved series I would love to talk about. Two Boston orphans visited a funeral of their dead grandmother, Grace Cahill. That&#8217;s where they started the 39 Clues hunt. If you gather all 39 Clues, you wound become the most powerful person in the world. Amy and Dan Cahill started the hunt. The main family is the Cahill family. The Cahills have four branches, called the Ekaterina Branch ( who can invent anything ), with the mascot of a dragon who is breathing fire, the Tomas Branch ( who&#8217;s specialty is physical education ), with the mascot of a fighting\u00a0bear, the Lucian Branch ( who are so sneaky and sly they have good lead in the Clue hunt ), with the mascot of a sword wrapped with two snakes, and the Janus Branch ( who are so into arts ), with the mascot of a standing wolf with his paws up. That&#8217;s all, gotta sign off! Bye, world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, theratfish here! Today my topic is about books.
