Day 14

Me again! Well Valentine's Day is almost here and I just read the cutest story in the Clubhouse magazine. For all of you who don't know what that is...look it up. You're on a computer anyway, and I'll wait. You back? Okay, good. So it's about a newly engaged couple from the Adventures in Odyssey series, Wooton and Penny. Wooton is a sweet, wacky, friendly mailman born in Alaska with a love for God, licorice, and Powerboy comics (which he happens to write.) Penny is a kind, slightly-naive artist with a passion for God, vegetarian Tuesdays, and knit beanies. Altogether, it's a perfect match and they're truly happy...until they visit Penny's parents a few days before Valentine's Day. Wooton is impressed by Penny's father's romantic gifts for his wife, and he tries in vain to think of something just as sweet for his own soulmate. Meanwhile, Penny wants to show Wooton around town where she grew up...but things aren't exactly the same. The playground she used to visit every day as a girl is broken down and rusty, the ice cream parlor has been turned into a laundrymat, and the pizza place she used to love is now about to go out of business--and for a good reason. After a horrible letdown, Penny and Wooton are sitting around a small table in Mario's Pizzeria, a slice of deadly pepperoni supreme between them. Wooton pulls out pair of tickets for WaterWorld. Penny looks them over, and says that it sounds like fun, and all. Wooton points out the date for the tickets: 2066, exactly 50 years later. Because, Wooton says simply, he knows he'll be just as in love with Penny as he was before.  AWWW!!! Happy Valentine's Day!

Books, Books, Books...

Hi, Page Turner here! Okay, so if the start of this high school year as been anything, it has  not  been boring due to lack of books to read. Here's a list of my favorite books, (in no particular order) that I've read since August!     1. "Bud, Not Buddy." This is book filled with humor and pathos and narrated by a ten-year old street-savvy kid in the Great Depression. After loosing his mom when he was six, he is moved to an orphanage. After a series of events, he finds himself alone on the road. But Bud has a secret--he thinks he knows who is father is, and he sets out to find him. This heart-warming story shows the heart of young boy, the mind of a hardened man, and the importance of family. 8/10! 2. "City of Ember Trilogy" Okay, so actually it's a quartet, but I've never liked the "Prophet of Yunwood" anyway. This series follows the events after a devastating world war that caused fire, starvation, and disease; a war that nearly wiped...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...

The Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...
