Redwall

The Warrior

by Brian Jacques 

summary by Malachi Church 

 
Matthias was born a clumsy field mouse and died a warrior. At the beginning of the story, Abbot Mortimer saw him with his sandals twice as big as his feet. When Matthias stumbled into him, he made sure that Matthias got a pair that fit him. There is a feast in the story and at the feast Matthias takes care of my two favorite characters, Tim and Tess, the twin church mice. They're so cute.
 
This is an awesome book. It says that Mossflower, the country around Redwall, is a pretty place. Redwall is Matthias's home. Matthias and a bunch of shrews go to find the Sword of Martin. The shrews are mean but funny. My favorite part is when they're in the snake den. Asmodeus is the evil snake that took Martin's sword. I like this part because Asmodeus tries to hypnotize Matthias, but it doesn't work.

Cluny is the main bad guy, a big rat with a long whip like tail with poisonous barbs on it. He thinks the sword of Martin is in Redwall so he attacks it repeatedly but each time he can never win. Most people are so frightened of him they don't really fight. The soldiers of Redwall fight back under the command of Matthias and Basil the hare and the badger. Cluny got so mad once he started throwing his men at the good guys. Poor Cluny, even though he's a savage, you got to be sorry for the way he died. He was savagely crushed by a grandfather bell.

I love this book. It is only for children eight and older. It's a bit gory. It's got some hard words. Next I will read Rakkety Tam.

Three Friends

Every person needs trustworthy, funny and creative friends. You need these types of friends especially when you’re the youngest in the class. Three of my friends are Lenin, Jonathan and Maddy. each of them has one of these qualities.


Lenin is a good friend of mine. He and I know games that the other one will like. We have identical minds. We both like video games. He comes to my house every Wednesday after school and we play all break long. It’s good to have a friend you trust.


Jonathan is a funny person. One time he put a bunch of ponytails in his hair. He has so many Legos I could die. The first time I went to his house I went screaming out the front door because of all the Legos. I like to go to his house. I’ve known him so long. I’ve known Jonathan since playgroup. It’s good to have a funny friend.


Maddy is very creative. She makes many games. We like to play games like Dream State and Mutants. Dream State is a game where you take portals into the different dimensions. Mutants is a game where you make your own Xman. It’s good to have a friend that is creative.


I have many more friends than these--Kaliana, Alisha, Emi and many others. Being small you need many people to be your friend. Life is hard but easier if you have these types of friends.

Artemis Fowl

the author is Eoin Colfer

published 5/6/2002

summary by Malachi Church

This is a great book because it's fiction and it's Scifi. My favorite part is when the goblin blows up. My favorite character is probably Mulch Diggums or Foaly.  I also like the part when they have to dig through Mulch's manure.

The main characters are Artemis, Butler, Juliet, Foaly the centaur, Mulch Diggums, Root and Holly. Artemis is a young teenager with the best IQ in Europe. He goes to a school called Saint Bartleby's school for smart kids. His father was lost and his body guard Butler protects him now.  Artemis robs the fairies of their precious gold. Butler is strong and could find a thousand ways to kill you with his fists. His uncle died with Artemis's dad. Artemis, Sr., lived and was captured by a gang of Russians that blew up the ship that Artemis, Sr., was on. He had no way on escaping with one missing leg.
