Riordan, Rick. The Son of Neptune. New York: Disney Hyperion, 2011. Print.
In this book Percy Jackson has lost his memory and ends up at Camp Jupiter instead of Camp Half-Blood, where he should be. He meets Hazel and Frank, who become his friends and have to set out on a dangerous mission to save the gods. I can predict that they will accomplish their mission and as a reward Percy will get his memory back."Percy wasn't sure he'd heard her right. True his memory was gone." (Riordan 22)

D'Lacey, Chris.Fire World.Great Britain: Orchard Books, 2011. Print.
In this story this book explains about how the Ix and the Fain enter our dimension, how David ends up at the Pennykettle household, everything anyone has wondered. David and Rosa found a tapestry that shows the future but at the very end everything in the picture changes,"'This is wrong. What's happened? We're in different places." (D'Lacey 561) With this said at the end I can predict that in the next book David and Rosa will have to keep the fture on track, deafeat Aunt Gwyneth, and defeat the Ix before they destroy everything and everyone.

Whats going on right now in the book is that a young elf named Holly must help kill a troll. In the book trolls are awful creatures that will kill anything in its path. I can predict that Holly will accomplish the goal, and kill the troll. "Focus, Foaly.My life is in your hands here"(Colfer 46)

In your story Percy dissappers and loses his memory, but how can someone as famous as him just dissapper without anyone but Hera knowing and what do you think would happen if Percy never got his memory back?
Wisher, William. Excorcist. New York, NY. Pocket Books. 2004. Print.
In this book so far I can connect it to the book Oliver Twist. It is so far taking place in egypt about a boy paying a cashier to get piastrey for his family for the week. I can connect it to oliver twist because Oliver is also poor like this young boy. “Ten piastres would probably buy this kid’s family two or three decent meals.”

Jaime, everyone at Percy's other camp all have noticed he's gone, because they send messages to him in his sleep to let him know that they're looking for him. Also Percy will end up getting his memory back if he succeeds at his quest in defeating Gaea.

In my story Power of Six, Number four and Sam are in the mogadorian's secret cave which houses most of the army and the war animals. They are there because Number four and sam are trying to get number four's chest back. I can predict that they are going to find another number in the holding cells and get the chest back.

Collins, Suzanne. Catching Fire. Scholastic, 2009. Print
In the book Catching Fire I can make a connection to the main character Katness. She is a brave person and can make a difference in the world. I am a person that likes to make everything better. I can make a difference if I put my heart and mind to it just like Katness. She was thinking to herself, “I am the Mockingjay” (Collins last page). The mockingjay is the symbol for the rebels. She Knows that she was the one to start the whole thing.

Who are you refering to in your blog? I don't know who "this person" is.

King,Stephan.Dreamcatcher.Pocket Books,New York.2001.Print.
In my book; Dreamcatcher, after Beaver gets killed by a weasel like alien, Jonesey has a series of strange nightmares about his past and wakes up in a hospital. He is bleeding and he walks to another hospital bed with an alien named Mr. Gray in it. Mr. Gray has him watch a movie called "Sympathy for the Grayboys". Jonesy finds out he is sharing his body and mind with Mr. Gray. Right now, Mr. Gray is in control of the body's movements.
I predict that when Mr. Gray is controling Jonesey's body, they will end up killing someone. "Jonesey kept silent-there was no need to provoke the alien in control of his body..." (King 406).

I predict that right before Steven is about to play in the All-state Band Jeffrey will need to leave. I believe this because in a previous chapter Steven made a promise to stay by his brother side. A quote to prove this is “Stay with your brother, Steven. Stay with him. No matter what. Do you promise?” (Sonneblick 232). Just so you know Steven has leukemia.
Dear Heather F.

I would like to know how Percy lost his memory? Do they even say why, or is it like the stories where you know who they are yet they have forgotten who they are in the story. Also Jenna D. Who is Beaver in the book your reading. Lastly who wrote about “Excorcist by William Wisher?

In the book so far Clarie Lyons just moved into Massie’s guest house. She moved in from Florida. I predict that Clarie is going to get bullied and made fun of because Massie is being a snob to her already.”I’m sure you’ll meet a bunch of other people you’d rather hang out with”“Doubt it,’ Clarie said. “You should definitely try” Massie said.(Harrison 13)

What do you think will happen to steven because of his leukemia?

Dessen, Sarah. Just Listen. New York: Speak, 2006. Print.
In the book, Just Listen, so far I'm at the point where Annabel and Owen start to understand each other. In the chapter I'm on now, Owen tells Annabel how different she looked before when she was modeling. At this point I made a prediction that Annabel and Owen will soon fall in love because of how much they both cared about each other. "The entire ride home all I'd been able to think about was Owen's face..."(Dessen225).

If Massie is a snob, how would you describe Clarie?
