    • Will is an orphan who knows almost nothing about his parents. All he has ever been told was that his father died a hero. The king took him and several other orphans into his castle were they were to await the choosing. A time when these orphans were given the chance to choose how they would spend the rest of their lives. Will was denied his greatest wish of going into battle school to follow in his father’s foot steps. A ranger named Halt had attended the choosing that day and gave the king a note about Will. Unable to get his mind off the note Will slipped into the kings work room that night and attempted to read the note. The only reason he failed to read the note was because as he reach for it, halts hand suddenly grabbed him. Halt took Will to the king and the king told halt to allow will to read the note. The note said that halt would accept will as an apprentice, and so began Will’s adventures as a ranger.

    • the book was manly about a person who was a gangbanger his whole life almost and he was on deathrow and his books have gotten nobel prizes for peace. He was the former leader of the crips his partner got killed so then he became the full owner. This book mostly talks about how you should not go to prison because eve f you think it is a gladiator school where you can go there to become tougher, it is not true it is a place where you do not get to do anything but eat,sleep, and have a little bit of work out time in the yard. This book talk all about Stanley’Tookie’williams life and how he does not want you to follow in his foot steps.

    • This book is about Nancy Drew, One day when her friend was over at her house from the country, she told Nancy about a strange call to her father about a parchment that had a 4 picture on it. He had recently bought it. They told him that there was a message in the pictures, but he could not figure it out so he asked his daughter to ask if her friend (Nancy Drew) could solve it for him. I think that Carolyn Keen did a great job on this book. It is descriptive and is a little tense sometimes, but it is an excellent book, and I reccomend it to anyone who likes mystery books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
