Happy Halloween!
Usually, people think Halloween should be scary, and that is true. But instead of being something scary this year, I'm going to be a M&M! What are you going to be?? Feel free to post a comment about it!

At my school, we a Halloween parade. It's a good way to see what other people like and what they are.

My Review about Dolphin's Tale

Today my dad and I watched a movie called "A Dolphin's Tale". Yes, it is a true tale and it's about a dolphin's tail!

This movie is about a dolphin who gets rescued by a shy 11-year-old boy and befriends the dolphin who gets named, Winter. Winter gets taken to a marine hospital and soon, the shy boy becomes the total opposite. With his older cousin at war and his dad gone he handles stubborn Winter and makes friends along the way.

If I had to rate this movie out of a ten, (10=awesome-1=never want to see it again) I would rate it an 8. At first, it's a little confusing but then it becomes spectacular...

Happy Diwali

Happy Diwali, everybody! For those of you who don't know what Diwali is, it is the Festival of Lights. Diwali is also known as Deepawali. In Hindi, that means 'row of lamps'. Diwali is celebrated with fireworks, sparklers, delicious sweets, and tasty food.

Diwali is celebrated for usually 3-4 days. Back in India, kids don't go to school, they have fun, and pray to their gods. Adults do the same.

After the day of Diwali, Annakoot, people pray to the mountain of food. Legend says, when Lord Krishna, a god, was little, he told the people to pray to the mountain instead of the rain god, Lord Indra. Lord Indra got angry and made it rain continuously for one whole week!! So the little, but brave god, Lord Krishna lifted his finger and let the animals and the people go under it. The mountain of food had water and food for them. This is called Govardhan Puja.

Once again, Happy Diwali!!

I'm Freezing!!

It's getting really cold now, here where I am. Today I was wearing two pairs of pants, a long-sleeved t-shirt, a short-sleeved t-shirt, and two sweatshirts! And I was still freezing! My hands and feet were very numb. Now I feel like summer should be here and winter or fall should go away! 

And one more thing, here are two blogs that I would like you to see. They are my friends'.

My Review on Neptune's Son

As some of you might know, the new book, The Son of Neptune was published a few weeks ago. Since the last week, I had my head stuck in that book and I finally finished reading it yesterday! The Son of Neptune is the second book for the Rick Riordan's new series, The Heroes of Olympus. This series is a sequel to the Percy Jackson series. The first book in  The Heroes of Olympus series is "The Lost Hero". If you want to read any of the Heroes of Olympus books, I suggest you read the first book in the Percy Jackson series, "The Lightening Thief". 

The Son of Neptune is about a teenage boy named Percy Jackson who gets continuously chased by hideous monsters, including Medusa's sisters, Gaea (Mother Earth), cyclops, and more giants. Neptune is a Roman name for the Greek sea god, Poseidon. In this book, Percy's memory was taken by Hera, who is also known as Juno. 

Percy makes his way to a Roman demi-god camp called Camp Jupiter. He meets Frank and Hazel, who hide their own desperate secrets from others. Frank's life depends on a burnt stick. Frank has only one parent alive and he doesn't know who it is. He was hoping for Apollo, but sadly, the war god, Mars shows up and claims him as his own son. Hazel, a southern girl, should be dead. She was brought from the underworld by her half-brother, Nico.  

The three of them; Percy, Frank, and Hazel team up together to find Percy's other family and release Death, who is in chains. Death is also know as Thanatos. Together, they embark on a journey revealing secrets, bumping into enemies and friends.

I hope you read this, and enjoy it as much as I did!!!
