   Annabelle and Tiffany are in conflict with another character.

So then on, she would always think about that time she was told about how wonderful she is.

EMILY WINDSNAP AND THE SIRENS SECRET by Liz Kessler

Emily Windsnap is part human and part mermaid and her life is absolutely perfect, but that doesn't last long! Emily is now finding herself on a mission to bring to the two worlds together, humans and mer- people. With her friend Aaron by her side, they work together to come up with a plan to make that happen. That's not all, Emily's BFF, Shona is trapped with nasty sirens  who are stuck and can't gel out! Will Emily be able to
perform her task of bringing to two worlds together? Will Shona be stuck with the sirens forever? Find out!


Emily struggled with herself and another character
The struggle for Emily was no matter how hard she tried, Emily always blurted her thoughts out even when she wasn't suppose to. Emily also struggled with a character  named Mr. Beeston. She struggled with him by not knowing the truth from him and that he could easily fool someone with a lie.

Emily changed by not always jumping to conclusions. When Emily thought Mr. Beeston was the one who stole the shell to keep Shona and the sirens there in the cave. She learned that the shell was nothing and anyways Mr. Beeston was only stole it because he knew what it meant to do. Also in the newspaper Emily thought Mandy was the one who wanted the mermaids to be captive and that she was the one who posted the photo of her. But Emily learned that is wasn't Mandy, it was someone else in the town.

Emily reminded me of myself. I sometimes jump to conclusions. When I really think it's a certain person did something I sometimes end up blaming someone who had nothing to do with it like how Mandy had nothing to do with it.

PANDORA THE CURIOUS by Suzanne Williams and Joan Holub

      Pandora is a very curious girl in a school  called Mount Olympus Academy (MOA). One day, while talking to her friends, a mysterious box catches her eye. She just has to open it! Pandora can't stop herself when the box comes flying into her hands.Out come many troublesome bubbles that pop on her friends and teachers and change their personalities! Pandora realizes it's up to her to get all the bubbles back. What will she do?

    Pandora was in conflict with the bubbles (the bad things inside them) and she was also in conflict with her friends that didn't listen to or believe what happened.

   Pandora changed throughout this book. She became more careful with her curiousness and she learned not to snoop anymore. She also learned to respect differences like how Epimetheus was different because he was a Titan. 

   I relate to Pandora because I am also curious. I was very curious to know what was in my Christmas presents and if I did, I would be in trouble. (not with bubbles though.)

ERAGON By Christopher Paolini

Eragon is traveling in the Spine and finds a mysterious stone.One night, the "stone" hatches into a dragon and he raises it (the dragon's name is Saphira).One day he is traveling again but when he comes back, the Razzac destroys his home, and kills his step-father, Garrow. Eragon is angered by Garrow's death and want revenge. Brom, a magician and he travel to get Eragon's revenge. Then another character named Murtagh joins the crew while Brom dies. Will Eragon survive all the encounters?!

Eragon is in conflict with the Razzac, the shade and himself trying to learn magic and swordsmanship.

The Empire Galbatrix and the Varden are at war and Saphira and he are teaming up with the Varden. But the Urgals team up with Galbatrix so he fights a lot of Urgals. At the end, when he was in Tronjheim, Urgals raid the city so Murtagh, Saphira, Eragon, and the people of Tronjheim have to fight off hundreds of urgals (and one Shade). Eragon also fights off a Shade who wants revenge.

Eragon changes in a lot of ways. First, he used to fight with a bow &arrow. Now, he uses a sword(Zar'roc). Before he traveled with Brom, all he could use was his bow &arrow. Now after practicing with Brom, he can use a lot of magic, swords, and bow &arrow.At the end, Eragon learns to forget about the past and move on.

Eragon reminded me of myself because if I lose, I want to get revenge like Eragon wants revenge on Razzac for the loss of his step-father.I wish I could forgive people like Eragon.(it's not like I can't forgive people. I just need to get better at it.)

This book is about a boy named Barry in Louisiana struggling against  hurricane Katrina. His family was about to move somewhere safe, but his sister got ill. Barry was safe in the house when a strong wind pushed him to the water. Now Barry is fighting against the fierce storm.

Barry was pushed by the strong wind in the storm, sending him to land somewhere way away from his family. No he has to fight against he hurricane.

In the beginning Barry was kind of afraid of the storm, like when he woke up water rushed into the house when the storm was beginning to get worse. Now Barry is getting braver in the story, like when he got some food when water snakes were roaming in the water.

I do not relate o this because I was not wept away by the wind into a hurricane.

CASSANDRA THE LUCKY by Joan Holub & Suzanne Williams

    Cassandra is a fortune teller but because of a curse Apollo put on her, nobody believes her prophecies. To prove she's not a fake, she gives fortunes to her classmates. They come true, but thanks to the curse, her classmates all believe that the written fortune said the opposite and quickly, everyone believes her as a fake!

The main character Cassandra is in conflict with a curse put on her by Apollo.

    Apollo put a curse on Cassandra at an early age. The curse was so that at first, everyone would believe her fortunes, but after it comes true, they believe that the fortune had read the opposite of what had happened.

    In the beginning of the book, nobody believes her fortunes, only her brother's which are much more vague and are basically the same as hers. In the end Cassandra makes a shop called Opposite Oracle-O's in which the fortunes in the cookies are opposite of whats to happen, so it will work against Apollo's curse.

    I can relate to how Cassandra feels when nobody believes her fortunes; when they only believe her brother's fortunes. Whenever I come up with an idea and say it out loud, no one seems to hear but one person. That one person who heard my idea then repeats it and everyone thinks it was their idea when it was actually mine.
