Black Warrior- White Ninja Series
I finished Black Warrior (ages ago) and I have been so busy these last weeks I haven't had time to write ANYTHING.
Black Warrior was really fast paced. I finished it in a couple of days and I can't say it was my favourite book of the series but it was sufficient enough to keep me well engaged.
There were quite a lot of twists and turns in this book. Characters that you thought you knew all about you learn have deeper feelings and secrets.
For example, Hero (or Hiroshi- your pick) actually is nice and helps Roxy a lot. Hero's mum has, I think, a mental illness so you can't blame Hero for being nasty most of the time.
So, just in case you want to read this series, I'll give you a basic outline on what the books have been about. You know, just one or two sentences. Something simple.
White Ninja-We find Roxy is a 13 year old and lives with her mum and her mum's partner. Roxi meets up with this new guy at school called Jackson who takes her to a special dojo and Roxi gradually learns she is a Ninja. She has to find the White Warrior and the Tiger Scrolls before the Samurai clans do.
Red Samurai- This is after the battle for the White Warrior and the ancient Tiger Scrolls. But then Roxi has other things to deal with too, such as keeping her powers hidden. But weird things start happening with her sister.
Black Warrior- A lot of violence. A lot of things collapsing. A lot of cool, awesome twists. And everything comes together nicely at the end.
There you have it!

White Ninja/Red Samurai
Okay, so I just finished White Ninja and Red Samurai by Tiffiny Hall and I can only say three words- oh. My. Gosh! These books were so, so, so good!I love the characters, and the style of writing and the covers are so shiny.... I don't know where the ideas of all these characters came from Tiffs head but geez.... that's a long way to go from writing health books about exercise and dieting!
When I saw this book and when I first started reading it I thought wow, I think I might enjoy this books but it turns out I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM!!! So i just want to send a shout out to my friend for buying White Ninja for me and myself for buying Red Samurai!!!
So excited for the last one!!
Zobo!
P.S-( there are twelve exclamation marks in this post!)

Mothers Day!
Also.... HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! To all the mothers out there who clean the house and feed children and work hard, THANK YOU for doing that!I actually bought my mum a book by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg called The Case. My mother likes those sort of crime novels so I brought that for her. I hope she likes it!
Just an update/ my top ten book series
I just finished Tomorrow, When the War Began and I am starting the second one soon. I am also reading this good book called The Museum of Mary Child. It's kind of dark and a bit scary but fun and nice to read.
I am SO grateful we have a local library because if my sister has to do anything then I can just say "I'm just going to the library now, BYE!" It's great, it really is.
I've been thinking and you know what- I have come up with a list of my top ten favourite book series. Not ordering from the least I like to the most, but the top ten. See what you think (it was really hard!)
1. Ruby Redfort- Lauren Child
2. Strangest Adeventures- Alexandra Ardonetto
3. Once Series- Morris Gleitzman
4. Famous Five- Enid Blyton ( that's a blast from the past!)
5. White Ninja Series- Tiffiny Hall
6. Darren Shan- Darren Shan (he used him name for the main character)
7. Goosebumps Horrorland- R.L Stine
8. Nancy Drew- Carolyn Keene
9. Um.... I don't know. Maybe just keep reading! :)
Random fact: I know how to make Princess Leia* from star wars= @( '. ' )@
*Sorry if I spelt it wrong!

Tomorrow, Secret Garden, Arkwright
I am currently reading the book Tomorrow, When the War Began, and I am hooked. It's really good and the characters are great and it's fantastic. I got it on my birthday and it's so good.
I am also reading the Secret Garden and that's good too. I like all the details and I am not surprised to see it among many lists of treasured classics.
I just finished reading the book Arkwright about a Giant Anteater living with a sea captain. It's a nice, amusing little book and I enjoy it every time I read it.
