It has very tough issues and a lot of language. This would be a book for upper middle school to high school. This is a book you would have to be very careful with, you would need a lot of parent permission and a class/student that you could have great discussion with. However, that is not to say that it is not worth reading. I think that a lot of students today have a hard time backing down from an issue, even if it is meaningless, so this could really be relatable. Some strategies that could be used with this book include predicting, inferring, and making connections. I think that inferring could be a great strategy for this book because you can use the pictures and the text to find out what the author is really…

I wanted to be able to emulate what he has had in his football career into my career as a cheerleading coach. Since this is only by second year as coach this would be the time where I can learn from other peoples mistakes and victories.…
I Would or Would Not Recommend This Book: I would recommend this book for everyone. Although it is a very short book it has a big lesson that can be learned from…
Recommended audience: I would generally recommend this book and it counterparts in it’s series to those who like to think. This book is a very grueling read in the sense that many will have to look words up and reread parts multiple times to glean their entire meanings. Ender’s Game is a comparable type of read to this, since both use the sci-fi genre to conceal their political and philosophical intentions.…

The orientation games a fitting beginning for the story because through the games, the author can show how she hates and not trusting other people. Also, the game that asking her what object she wanted to be shows her sophisticated mind, giving an insane impression of how she is to readers.…
Artemis fowl is the heir to a multi-national criminal empire. He is witty, cunning and just when you think your one step ahead of him you are ten steps behind. He has outsmarted many of the world’s criminal elite in just fourteen years and if given the opportunity he will do the same to you no matter who you are. The book is about saving a super computer that Jon spiro, multi-billionaire computer designer and manufacturer stole from artemis.jon would have already broken into the computer if Artemis hadn’t built an eternity code into it. This eternity code is by name supposed to take eternity to break. The setting for most of the book is in the Spiro tower in New York, but there are many other places the book takes place too. The author doesn’t really specify when the book takes place exactly but after reading it I would say that it takes place in modern day united states, sometime around 2009 up to now. The main character is Artemis fowl; he is extremely outgoing and VERY witty. He reminds me very much of Courtney budgel because in the book he shows many of the qualities that Courtney does in day to day life like being smart with people in general and being two steps ahead of everyone. The main conflict is that Artemis is having problems getting back the computer because the Spiro tower is heavily guarded and very secure and also the fact that he is locked in a vault like prison cell 80 floors down from where the computer is being held. The authors writing style is very easy to follow, he writes in a slow paced way that is never hard to understand so if you get confused with other books I would recommend this series to you’d would say I like this book mainly because of the authors writing style and also its very easy to get into aswell,its very similar to the writing style of Suzanne Collins .I would say that the theme is that friendship trumps wealth because artemis almost…
