The First Day of Seventh Grade
Today was the first day of seventh grade. Six different classes, every day. Today was my first real experience switching classes,and as the school year goes on, I hope it is a lot less chaotic than today. They are doing construction in one of the outdoor areas, so traffic in the hallways going from class to class is like rush hour in downtown L.A. It was crazy.
All of my teachers are very nice. My favorite teacher that I met today was Mr. Shady. He is fun, easygoing, and I already like him a lot. I can not wait for the rest of the school year!

Summer's End
Last week, I returned home from a over-one-month vacation to my grandparent's house in Salt Lake City, Utah. We swam in her pool, in other peoples' pools and lakes. We played with cousins, cousins, and more cousins. We stayed longer, and longer, and longer, and had a blast.
Now the start of school is just days away and, this year, for a change, I am not dreading the start of school. As I enter the seventh grade, I am excited for the new school year and the opportunities it brings. Just one big thing I am going to miss: good food!

The Second Book
Of the three new books presented to me, I have now completed two. The second book in the Fablehaven series, Rise of the Evening Star, is a thrilling book, and continues to captivate me as a thrilling fantasy.
A few days before the start of summer break, a new student is transferred to Kendra's class. he claims to only be there to get to know people. He already has taken his exams. he is just simply there. Kendra is puzzled by the exclamations that he is 'hot'. She sees a horrible monster; a short creature covered in warts and scabs, some oozing pus. Immediately, Kendra rushes to find Seth. Seth does not see the monstrosity seen by Kendra. Unsure of what to do, they try to contact their grandfather, and fail. One day after school, they meet a magician, Errol Fisk, who claims to be a friend of their grandfather. According to Errol, they have to steal a small statue, and give it to the monster, and it will leave.
This marks the first adventure of Kendra and Seth in book two in the Fablehaven series. They once again accomplish remarkable feats and save the preserve.
