Bye Bye Tremain, Hello Demon Glass

So, While I am waiting my friend to finish reading Beautiful Darkness, which she has had for about 4 months now, I had to find something else to read. So, I read a book called Hex Hall a while ago, and I was told that, YAAY! there's a sequel out. So I went out and got the sequel with my dad, and we bought it. Once we bought it, I read it in a Night. Isn't that sad though? That God Gives people powers to read very fast, and some people can't even read 2 chapters of a book in one night. I feel bad. Now, on to the story, This story is about a girl that is about to go through the Removal. She doesn't want to live with her magical powers, so she is going to go through the Removal (of her powers). She has been told to stay away from a boy, Archer Cross, but when he gives her a coin and says he will find her, she can't resist. In the end he turns out to be a good person, but he was on the bad side. It was not his fault, he was adopted by the head of the council. The moral of this book is: Never give up on some thing/one you love.

Johnny Tremain

        Johnny Tremain was a book that I started to read for English class. At first I thought it was very boring, but then I found some spots where it started to get exciting. I love part of the book, and I feel so bad for Johnny, because he wanted to be a silversmith, and silver got molded onto his hand. This was another apprentice's fault. Johnny had to have his hand wrapped and after a few days they unwrapped it, to find his thumb had grown onto his hand. His fate had changed. A parent-less child, Johnny, with no job left that he thought he could do. The only one that would consider hiring him was the butcher. No 14 year old would take the job of a butcher. Wait 'till next week for some more info on Johnny Tremain.
