Small medium at large - new found fortune
As Lilah grips on the door of her school, her best friend, Alex is chattering animatedly about her new found ability. As the school door opens, Lilah is suddenly overwhelmed by the noises, except for no one is in the hall. She cleared her thought and declared to the ghost that she need them to be quiet to catch up on her study as she headed towards the music room.
As Lilah practice her drums, her music teacher, mr.Robert walked in and suddenly she can hear a soft female ghost! As she and Mr.Robert talk about their life's and ambition. The voice asks her to ask Mr. Robert about Jet Black Wig. Deciding to trust Mr.Robert Lilah told him all about the fact she is able to hear ghost and ask him about Jet Black Wig. Much to Lilah's surprise he believed her and start to weep like a baby and told her the story of how they were about to sign with a company when their lead singer died and the ghost is their long dead lead singer! The ghost ask him to restart the band as Lilah delivers word of encouragement.
After music class Lilah decide to start helping people with her gift.
The voice chosen very nicely, but the character and setting is not written well and I feel the plot is a bit too popular and common.

Small medium at large- the voices
Lilah slowly opened her eyes, confused. Her mother and her newly wedded husband stood in the wedding finery while her dad's at on the hospital chair. The silence in the room was unbearable. As her dad realize she is now awake. Lilah heard another voice. One that does not belong in this room. As Lilah listen to her dad retold her the story of how she got struck by lightning, Lilah wondered if the voices she heard is just a syndrome form some kind of concussion she received from the lighting. As the parents leave the room for Lilah to rest, the voices started again. Instead of resisting the voices, Lilah began to ask questions to the voice like who are you?? To her surprise it's her dead bubby. Still unconvinced by the sudden power. Lilah fell into a blissful sleep.

Small medium at large-The shock
Lilah is currently at her mother's wedding when she remembered she forgot her boutique. As she rushes to the limo to retrieve the boutique, a storm rolled in turning the sky into a color of story grey.rushing back from the limo to regain protection of the teen, Lilah held on to a metal tent pole while scrubbing mud off of her designer flat that matches the color of her dress. All Lilah heard was a boom before her world went black.
So far the characters is not described very well neither are the setting. I feel like the book is missing a lot of interesting details to catch the reader's attention.

Loki's Wolves
What do you do when your told that you have to go on a quest to save the world from a giant, poisonous serpent that a god had failed to destroy thousands of years ago and your entire family thinks that you're going to fail and die? Being a descendent of the mighty god Thor, Matt was chosen to fulfil this prophecy with help from Fen and Laurie, the descendants of the trickster god Loki. They travel around the state searching for the other descendants as well as three key items to help in the final battle. On the way they discover that they all have special powers which prove useful when they run into countless troubles such as Trolls, Valkries, Norns and Maras. Their team is made up of the descendants of Thor, Loki, Frey, Freya and Balder with some brief help from Odin's girlfriend before she brutally murders Balder and blames the killing on Fen. While grieving over the death of their friend, they realize that in the Myths Balder could be brought back from Hel. So they decided to make a slight detour from their quest- into Hel. The pace of the plot was very strange. It was slow at the beginning and fast at the end.
The first major setting of the book is at the fair celebrating an ancient Viking holiday. This setting was described as well as it needed to be- it simply noted that the fair was very crowded, and it described some of the booths and and a few of the rides. All of the rest of the settings were described very poorly if at all. The only other major setting was the descendant of Balder's (Baldwin's) house. It disappointingly was described as, a house.
Loki's Wolves is told in a third person point of view. The narrator switches between telling the story from Matt, Fen, and Laurie's point of view. From the way the narrator tells the story it would have been better to have made the book first person while rotating between the characters every chapter.
The main character of Loki's Wolves is Matt Thorson, a brave, friendly and very tall 13 year old boy who grew up in Blackwell with his family who are all descendants of the Viking god Thor. He met Laurie and Fen when he saw them trying to steal a shield from the town longship. Both of the Loki descendants are very rebellious, much to the discomfort of Matt. The twins Ray and Reyna are hardly ever talked about and they don't contribute to the story nearly as much as anyone else. The last descendant is Baldwin who has the uncanny ability to make everyone like him without even trying. He is murdered by Astrid who shows up to help unexpectedly and seems to be nice until she betrays all of them in more than one way. Every character (except for the twins which seem to almost be one being) is extremely different from the rest. For example, Matt has trouble breaking the rules in anyway and can't doing something if it has a negative impact on anyone else. However Fen has been pulling off mischievous stunts his whole life and has no problem tricking innocent people. Also, Ray and Reyna are barely ever talked about in the story and they usually just stay in the background and don't do anything. One is almost never talked about if the other is not and are always referred to as "the twins".
The obvious theme to Loki's Wolves is Destiny. Matt didn't win a contest to be "Thor's Champion", he was chosen by the runes to fulfil the prophecy. All of there fates were already decided as mentioned many times in the book. The old myths represented their destinies. Matt is destined to die while defeating the serpent, and Fen was destined to kill Baldwin (which he did accidentally by not realizing he was poisoning him).
Loki's Wolves is exciting and always keeps you interested but has it's faults. It’s hard to put down, but it’s also disappointing in some aspects. It's an easy read with limited vocabulary and no real challenge.
Rating: 5/10
Between Heaven and Earth (part 9, the stunning conclusion)
The book, Between Heaven and Earth is an original story about courage, determination and belief. I really liked this book because it has a moral that made me smile and it was a hard book to put down because of its voice and story line. I think the book has a really good plot, theme and voice. The author could have worked on his settings and the how he models the characters, but I think this is a really good book because of its inspiring message. I read it in one day. I rate this book 4/5 stars and about 80 percent out of a 100. I hope you read this book and enjoy it as much as I did!
Between Heaven and Earth (part 8, the violent voice)
The voice in this book is told from a first person perspective. There is nothing I can say specifically about the voice. The voice is told by DJ, the main character. DJ's voice is interesting to study, as it changes from beginning to end. It changes because of the way he thinks. The voice is not one of the author's greatest hits, but the author did use DJ's voice to show the obstacles he meets and how he gets around them. The voice in this book helped the reader understand DJ's conflict. There are two types of conflicts, external (man vs. nature, man vs. man, man vs. society, etc.) and internal (man vs. himself). I think this book included an internal conflict, and having a strong voice during a conflict helps the book structure. DJ's voice explains the fight against himself. One side wants to give up and the other wants to go on. The struggle ends, with DJ's voice telling the reader that DJ finally decides to climb the mountain.
