 Author:Gill Arbuthnott

 Genre:Fiction/Adventure

 Plot:Ten years ago, Alaric, the leader of the Shadowmen, killed many of the Keepers - the teachers and bearers of ancient knowledge threatening his barbaric rule. Now rebellion is flaring up in the Archipelago again and the Shadowmen are out hunting for Keepers once more. 14 year-old, Nyssa, and her uncle, Marius, children of the Keepers, must leave, but there is a greater reason that Nyssa is in danger: on her skull is one half of a strange tattoo, three lines of writing in a strange unintelligible script, the Legend of the Keepers. Her search for the other half of the script begins, which is on her unknown twin brother's skull. When she she leaves she realizes she may never return.

 Response:  Text to self:If I were Nyssa I would have changed the way I look before going to get Kit because Alaric knew what she looked like. I also would have found a way for Kit to be out of Alaric's sight so it would have been easier to get him out of the palace.  Language Used:The language used in this book was very desciptive  I felt empathy for:Kit (Nyssa's twin) because he was locked up, being a servant to Alaric for most of his life, without realizing all the things he was missing out on because he had to stay within sight of Alaric's palace.  I learned that:You shouldn't give up hope or think some things in life are impossible to do.

But that meant someone was going to use real bullets. When it is almost time to start she tries to run to Bess and George to tell them to look if someone has real bullets on them but the horn had gone before she was able to reach them. Nancy thought she still should warn them so she ducked in and out of bushes until she found Bess and George. When she found them she pulled them in to the bush she was in and told them all about it.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 101%; text-align: left;"> Plot: Someone in River Heights does not like Lexi Claremont, so much they created a burn book website all about Lexi an her friends. When Lexi found out about the website she went to Nancy to find out who was posting all those bad things about her. Nancy does all she can to find out who it was she even went undercover as one of Lexi's friends to guess who her enemies are.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 101%; text-align: left;"> Response:I felt empathy for Lexi because there was a burn book blog about her on the internet and because that same person was trying to scare her with threatening notes that could ruin the River Heights celebration. I also felt empathy for Sunshine because Lexi and her friends always annoy her and make fun of her. At the end of the book I liked how it ended with another mystery which is in the next Nancy Drew book Serial Sabotage.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 101%; text-align: left;"> Plot: Rose is eight years old, the youngest of all of her siblings. Her father Bill has taken off to London. Her hippyish mother Eve is away all day painting murals in the local hospital. Caddie, the eldest, is busy worrying about whether or not to marry her fiancé Michael, her brother, Indigo, plays his guitar and reads from the Morte D'Arthur to Rose; and her adopted sister, Saffy, who is 15, is preoccupied with her disabled friend, Sarah. Rose, who appears to have no friends of her own age, wanders about shop-lifting, drawing tattoos on herself, and missing Indigo's friend Tom, who has gone back to America and hasn't been in touch since.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 101%; text-align: left;"> Response: I felt empathy for Rose because she really misses Tom and doesn't like Indigo's new friend David who used to pick on Indigo. I felt happy for Rose when she got to see Bill's house in London and when she got to see Tom again after so long.
