Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox
By: Neeraj

Have you guys heard of the book Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox? Well I have. I think that everyone should have a blast reading this adventures book. This book takes place in many places and even in the past!!!

This book is about an adventures boy who has always been very smart. He has fairy friends and this humongous butler who knows Marshall Arts. The boy is Artemis Fowl. In this book his mother is sick and there is only one thing that can heal her, a lemur’s brain fluid. You see, long time ago Artemis traded a lemur for a lot of money. Now Artemis needs it back and Artemis has to ask his demon friend to let Artemis go back in time to reclaim the animal. He has to outsmart himself, though he doesn’t know that his younger self could be his most challenging enemy.

I had a blast reading this book. I won’t tell you the ending but I’ll tell why I liked it so much. Artemis is always looking for good deals and this time he needs to gain back an animal. This book is so interesting because you get to see two master geniuses, who are actually the same person, fight each other. It was like watching a spy movie. This is not the only book; this book is the 6th in a series. Try reading the first five so you’ll understand more of what happens.

What is your favorite book and why?

I don't think I could pick a favorite book but I can tell one of my favorites. One book that I like is The Time Machine. I like it because it takes place in the future. The book has a very good problem. I know that because he is stuck in time! All in all, I would pick this book as one of my favorites.

I don't really have a favorite book, although I do have a favorite book series. That series would be the Percy Jackson Series. This is because they are action packed and are very unpredictable.

My favorite book is The Secret Hour in the series Midnighters. This book is by Scott Westerfield.
I like this book because it has a lot of suspense. It is about when time stops at midnight for a certain amount of people who call themselves midnighters. These people can stay in the midnight time/the blue time and the normal time. You have to be born at around midnight. There are four different types:Seer, Polymath, Mindcaster, and Acrobat. There are also a group of monsters called darklings. They can only live in the midnight time/blue time.
If you enjoy this book, then you should read the sequels: Touching Darkness and Blue Noon.

My favorite book is basically nothing. I only have a favorite book series. The book series are the series of Hank Zipzer. The reason why I like it is because it includes a lot of comedy. There are also many funny lists like " The Ten Ways How I Finish Homework In Two Seconds," and more.
The series is about a nine to ten-year boy who has dyslexia. His report cards never improve and he also needs a tutor. It shows how he makes up excuses to not get bad grades. His parents want better grades. His parents can punish him by saying the only way he could watch TV was getting a B+ or higher. One thing which was weird is that his sister Emily always got A+'s and he fell in D and C-ville. His sister also had this extremely gross friend who also got A+'s.
These are the reasons why I enjoy reading the Hank Zipzer series. I bet if you read it, you would like it.

My favorite book is Titan's Curse. Titan's Curse is my favorite book because it is very funny and interesting.
It is funny because in the middle of the book Percy, Thalia, Grover, Zoe went to a dam, Grover and Thalia kept on saying things like I am going to use the dam restroom, I am going to get some dam french fries , and stuff like that. It is also funny because Grover liked a person called Artemis and Thalia kept on saying "your nuts". Then Grovers said "Nuts and berries, yeah" since Artemis is a hunter and Grover is part human and part horse.
It is interesting since they have to save their friend called Annabeth, so they have to go on a mission. Every time when they have to go on a mission they have to go to this thing called a oracle. It tells you what your mission will be like and it said that one of the people will get killed by their own parent, which was Zoe.

I don't really have a favorite book but I really like the Percy Jackson series. This is because they are unpredictable and full of action. Also, I like the series of unfortunate events series because it is thrilling and it is impossible to predict the ending.

I also don't have a favorite book, but one that I really liked best is "The Battle of the Labyrinth." I really liked this book because it has a lot of adventure and suspicion. It is the 4th book in the Percy Jackson Series and I can't wait till the 5th one comes out.

I have a favorite book but they always change. This book is called Julep O' Toole.

Why my favorite books change so often.

I figured it's to hard to find a favorite book because whenever I read good book and claim that it's my favorite then I always find another good book that is better.
My favorite series booka

I really like the Hardy Boys.

My favorite book

I also like books that are about sympathy such as Julep O' Toole (which is currently my #1 book)This book is about a girl named Julep who always thinks she is invisible. She has to trade rooms with her brother, Cooper whose room is so gross. The next day is class photo day and Julep wants to look better than ever, so she takes her sister's (Harmony) blouse and hides it in her backpack. At school, she wears the blouse and hopes that Danica(the most popular girl in school)will see her, but she doesn't. Then during class she has to go to the nurses office because her brother is having a asthma attack. Oops! Wrong thing to do! Her brother notices Julep wearing Harmony's blouse and tells her that if Julep doesn't take him out Trick or Treating she will tell Harmony about the blouse. The next day she embarressed herself by throwing-up her lunch during PE. Couple days later she gets humiliated by a boy named Calvin at school during lunch who reads a page out of Julep's joural. Suprisingly, Danica invites Julep to her Halloween party. Julep was so excited that she was for once "Visible Girl". Until her friend mentions that she has to take Cooper Trick or Treating. To make it even "better" her friend is mad at her. Well I don't want to spoil the ending. Believe me though, the next time you ask me what my favorite book is then it probably won't be the same!

I may not have a favorite book but one of my favorites is also the Percy Jackson series. I really like that series because it is very exciting. They make the books harder to guess what l happen so when something really interesting happens, it is a surprise. Like Kedar, I can't wait till the 5th book comes out.

My favorite book is called Shadow Spinner. It is by Susan Fletcher. It's about a girl named Marjan and how her hero gets wound up in a big story. It's how she finds a story for her hero so she can live another day. She has to find a story teller who can tell her the rest of the story she knows. She has an amazing adventure. I would recommend this to anybody who is interested in adventure.

I would have to agree with Carolyn, I LOVE the Percy Jackson series. It's so awesome, because I learned so much about greek myhtology and Rick Riordan ties everything in with mythology so well!

My favorite book is the Lightnig Thief from the Percy Jackson Series because it is an adventure story, my favorite type. It is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is acused of stealing the master bolt. Did Percy really steal the bolt, or is someone else the culprit. To find out, read Lighting Theif. The other books in the Series are the Titan's Curse, Sea of Monsters, and Battle of the Labyrinth.

I don't have a favorite book or series though I have to agree with everyone else thet the Percy Jackson series are very good, but I also like the Artemis Fowl series. In each of the series I favor one book. In the Percy Jackson series I favor "The Battle of the Labyrinth" like Kedar because it is an action packed book with a lot of parts that can really help you imajine what the characters are feeling and how it is like, also you get to learn while having a good time reading this series. In the Artemis Fowl series I favor the fifth book which is "The Lost Colony" because it is a book a lot of action and excitement. I favor the book "The Lost Colony" because at one part they have to find help to break into a house to save one of the lost colony's demons. Also when they time traveled and got back to them it only seemed like a day, but when they went back to the present with all of the demons about three years have passed so it's really amazing about the different times. That is why I like those books and those series.

I don't really have a favorite book but one book that I really liked was Simon Bloom: The Gravity Keeper. It is about these kids who have powers against gravity and they have to use the powers and defeat the villains. These kids once used these powers at school and beat everyone at doge ball. Then their gym teacher found out that they had the powers against gravity.They then found out that there gym teacher was also a villain and defeated him after school.

They have to move to theirs grandma's because their parents die in a car crash. So this story is how Flora learns to forget the past and go on. She also meets a new friend. She has two friends in all but one friend she had made a long time before when she had visited her grandma before.
