I have recently started reading the book called 39 Clues. I read just the first sentence and got addicted and obsessed with the book. The first thing I thought when I got the book was that it was really thin and going to be an easy leveled book. I stand corrected. I also thought it was going to be one of those obvious mystery easy solving books. I also got corrected. As I read on I realized that the book was not only mystery. I saw the characters growing up, and learning about each other. The trust was tested, and revenge was on. Certain members of the family turned their backs to each other and turned into backstabbers. But unlike the rest the ones you expected to fall apart were the youngest, with no money. The book made me realize that people change and can be greedy. But the ones that love you and care will stay and support you. Would you choose a thousand dollars or a quest that could be so dangerous that it could kill you? Now, what if this quest was to find the answer to be the most powerful Human in the world? What if you were an orphan who just lost one of the most important persons in the world, the only one who cared for you and your sister? What if you only had 5 minutes to choose, and if you choose the quest you were to be disowned by your aunt? There is no turning back, once you make the choice you burn that check, and don't get any money.
Would you take it? Would you help if you were the babysitter? How about the lawyer? And Why does everyone want the quest?

What in the world?
when you think back at the time when you were at the age of 5 you think of innocence. You remember all the pretending. The wonders and adventures of the world. You remember playing pirate ships, the princesses and the dragons. You remember now?
As you went to 2nd grade you learned about cutties and germs. Then you started to stop hanging out with the boys. They started to seem so gross and disgusting. Some of us as girls still at my age still think the same thing, but it has a reason, and it doesn't include all the boys in the world. Sure, we get creep out by the guys but the actions they do seem inappropriate and unwanted behavior. Well, is it wrong that we have different oppinion? Is it unfair? Because I'm sure that boys have a lot to say bout this and Girls' behavior too.

Intimidation Is not good Part 1
Bullying hurts people. Most of the time, when people think about bullying they instantaneously presume it's physical action. They think that bullying is only or mostly physically. Well, it's not. There is also Verbal bullying.
Everyone is bullied once in a while, even though you might not mean it,or what you said is misunderstood. But that counts on the way you say it and who you really are.
Standing up to what's right is the best thing to do. No matter what the other person thinks of you. It's okay if people disagree in what's right from wrong, but bullying is not the right way to tell each other about the differences between the human kind.
Just because you are different doesn't mean getting bullied is okay either. The environment around people should be clean. Which means being clean physically, mentally, and emotionally. Being different is not bad. Being all the same is too boring. What if the people around you were the person as you are, Physically? What if they all liked and did the same things that you do? What would life be like in black and white?

"WHEN IT HAPPENED"
The book is a deep touching story of how a couple meet, with their share of their side of the story. It tells of how two completely type of people meet and fall in love on their way of finding it, and a successful future.
The book has the two sides of story; the point of view of Sara life that she's going through, and Toby's life. The book is in fully formed chapters. Each chapter has a different prospective.
The wonder of this strong touching story is, that it leaves you with a bunch of personal questions. For me, it was shocking to have this questions in my head because all of the things that I haven't experienced are talked about in the book. This got me focus about the future and how it will affect my friends, the time that I have to juggle with for them and my other activities.
My mother always told me to never rush into conclusions and things. That everyone is different and have their own timing of learning and doing things. She told me to think about things before I regret them. And I do... most of the time (which, sometimes I get distracted and forget to study). But I always think about relationships of how people start, just because everyone is doing it. Don't do anything that you're not ready to, because to tell you the truth no one is.
So, just be careful. If someone tells you something or does something that's not right or you feel comfortable about, walk away from that person and tell a grown up, or someone you trust an tell them what happened.
