At the end of The Ship of Adventure, Bill "proposed" to Mrs Mannering. Now, Bill and Allie Cunningham take the children off on holiday together to a cottage in Little Brockleton, somewhere in the middle of the country. But Bill has to bring along another boy—a strange, foreign boy by the name of Gustavus Barmilevo, or Gus as they all decide to call him. Apparently he's the nephew of one of Bill's friends. Gus is not very likeable; he cries when he cuts his finger ("My finger, it blids") and absolutely hates the "wicket" Kiki, demanding that the parrot be put in a cage during his stay with the others. Naturally the other children refuse to stand for this, and they tease the boy about his girlish hair and other things, which leads to more tears! Why oh why did Bill have to bring this awful child along with them? The answer to this little mystery is revealed fairly early on, when Philip gets cross and tells Gus that he's not some kind of prince that can order people about. Gus stands up and announces that actually he is—the Prince Aloysius Gramondie Racemolie Torquinel of Tauri-Hessia! Astonished, the children listen as Bill and Allie reveal that the boy is being hidden away because there is unrest in the country of Tauri-Hessia, and the King's life is in danger.

I loved the book!! Riordan dives right into the story! He perfectly meshes Greek and Roman mythology...Its ingenious the way he does it! He twisted the places and characters in the Percy Jackson series to fit in this story line,which is spectacular...Throughout the whole book, you're asking questions beyond where's Percy. Riordan gives you just enough answers to appease you.He perfectly balances the giving and withholding of information. The Heroes of Olympus is definitely, with out a shadow of doubt,is better than Percy Jackson and the Olympians!I simply love everything about this book.

Charles Dickens is a wonderful writer and I'd be surprised if you don't find his books interesting. This story is about a Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, a very rude man, who has greedy and stingy ways (which he even continues on Christmas). He rejects a Christmas dinner invitation from his nephew and always yells at his employee. Then he gets a lesson taught to him in a wonderful way that he never repeats his mistakes again. You MUST READ this fantastic classic.

Jules Verne is a great sci- fi writer and science loving readers will enjoy his books thoroughly. I loved this book a lot. This is a really, really nice book but its story is a little bit complicated so I won't be able to summarize this book's story. But, this book is certainly worth a read.
