After beating bullies with his super strength, Jonah comes home from a day of school to find that his mother has been taken. He and Eliza and their guardian angel, Henry, must then make war against Abaddon and his helpers, the Fallen, and rescue his mother and the others that were taken. Will they win the war? Will they save their mom? Will they be able to find their new powers and use them wisely? Read the book to find out! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> What I like about this story is that it teaches you to trust in God no matter what happens. Even though the characters go through difficulties, they still trust in God and He guides them through their trials. I would definitely recommend this book for children and young teens. This is the first book in the “Son of Angels” series by Jerel Law, published by Thomas Nelson. You can also buy this book on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Fighter-Angels-Jonah-Stone/dp/1400318432/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333720160&sr=8-1">Amazon.com</a>. </div><br />

She is a bright girl, but sometimes she can get a little overboard. She is the oldest of four children. The twins, Sandy and Dennys, are quite normal, but Charles Wallace (the youngest) is also very strange. He always seems to know when Meg is sad, happy, worried, or any emotion. Life is boring, as usual, until one day they find a tramp at their door, and there is where the adventure begins. Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin embark upon a journey with the tramp, Mrs. Whatsit and Co. They must save Meg’s dad and, as they do, they all become better friends.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">I think this book is very interesting. It is definitely written for children, but it has some things in it that older people might enjoy, such as lots of adventure and mystery. Like, how can Charles Wallace know what’s going on with Meg? Will they find and rescue their dad? You’ll have to read the book to find out. </div><br />

But after a while, peculiar things start to happen. Then a letter shows up for him! The letter invites him to a school, but not just any school. This letter invites him to Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards! Nervous and unsure, he buys his books and packs his bags. With his friends Ron and Hermione, he starts on an adventure. What he doesn’t know is that this year and adventure will change his life.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I like how the author makes the characters believable. They’re not doing anything a normal 11-year-old couldn’t do or anything extreme. Also I like how there is friendship. Like Harry tells his friends everything and he confides in them. Even though there is some magic, it isn’t very dark magic. As there is a class against dark magic, the author keeps in mind that the characters must have some defensive magic and spells.

<br />
Ruth, a twelve-year-old girl, is excited about going on the new cruise ship, the Titanic. But on one terrible night, her excitement vanishes. As the ship is breaking, her mother and siblings are safe on a lifeboat. But she is still on deck. Will she get to safety? Will she be left on the boat? <br />
<br />
This true story is very inspiring for me. The young girl faces a terribly hard night when her siblings and mother have to leave her on the Titanic. But she has faith. She prays and asks God to help her. The story’s moral is that you have to have faith in God and he will help you through trials and hard times. <br />
<br />
Escaping Titanic is written for children, and the colorful artwork will keep their attention. The author has won many awards for the children’s and biographical books she’s written. The illustrator who did such a great job at capturing the excitement of this story is Kory S. Heinzen.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I love this book because it is full of adventure and danger and because I love dragon books! It tells the story of friendship, love, hate, and fear. I would recommend this book for ages 6 and up, adults and kids.<br />

Other than Christmas, my birthday, Valentine’s day, and Hanukkah, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the pumpkin pie, the macaroni and cheese, turkey, and stuffing and gravy, and biscuits and the chicken and dumplings. But what I love more is our family tradition of going around the table and saying one thing that you’re thankful for. I know it’s hard sometimes, but its fun! When my grandparents came over a couple weeks ago, we had an early thanksgiving with them. (Poor Camille was sick, so we saved her some leftovers.) It was so good! The Mac and cheese (with real cheddar cheese) and the biscuits and chicken and dumplings. OH SO YUMMY!!! I realized that Thanksgiving isn’t just about eating good food and dessert and remembering dead people, but about being thankful. I hope all who read this have a great Thanksgiving!</div><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Lily Renee, a talented artist, is a Jewish girl who has to escape her home when the Nazis arrive to attack. It's a normal day when she thinks she had a dream where she can hear screaming and marching. She wakes up only to find that it's real. She kisses her parents good-bye as she hops on a ship that will take her to a British friend's house. When she arrives, she finds out the lady of the house is cruel. She runs away in search of a way to fulfill the promise she made to her parents, to bring them to America. Will she ever see her parents again? Will she find a way to bring peace? Will she use her artistic talent to help her family? <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It surprised me when I opened the book to find a comic, but that didn’t make a difference on how inspiring and interesting the book was. The drawings are great—very realistic and descriptive. I like the book because it shows how even young people can help others by using their talents. Even though we have trials, we can ask God to help us and He will. I would recommend this book to 11 to 14 year olds. <o:p></o:p></span></div></div><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>TITLE:</b> Lily Renee, Escape Artist: From Holocaust Survivor to Comic Book Pioneer</span><br />

How many of you hate being told about something really important the day before it's going to happen? I do! That's what happened to me. As I go to bed, my mother mentions, "Oh, yeah. At 7:30 tomorrow morning, all the 30 kids from the children's home plus the American missionary teams are going to the zoo, and I told them you're going." WHAT?!?! No escaping now. Not that I don't want to go. Don't get me wrong. I'm almost 13 and I relish at the opportunity to act like I'm 5 and squeal at every little caterpillar on the sidewalk with my friends. So I went.<br />
<br />
My choices: (You hate this part, don't you?)<br />
1. All 30 kids, most of them younger than 12, and sweaty 18-25-year-old Americans--no offense--crammed in a bus, most of them puking OR<br />
2. in a smooth SUV with a cute baby and fun people.<br />
<br />
Which would you choose? If you think I went in the bus, you get and X. I chose the car. Of course :)<br />
NO OFFENSE MEANT FOR ANYONE! OK!<br />
<br />
So when we get there, we go into a museum. What's a zoo without a museum and a creepy guide that likes to talk about mummies and shushes you when you ask a question? Well, we got a zoo complete with the creepy guide. YAY!!(that was sarcastic;P) We stood outside of the museum a good 20 minutes to a half hour. The whole time the guide was explaining about what your camera flash can do to the animal hair, and how they give it chemical reactions,and how one man walked in and took a picture with flash and they "practically watched" the hair fall off. You get the point. So when we finally walked in there's a little room to your right and in it, a little bridge with animals on each side. When were all on the bridge, the guide starts talking about how once when he was on the bridge, he fell off. Interesting, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the animals? <br />
<br />
We then stepped into a different room and looked at dead fish. Then the butterfly and bug room. And SPIDERS! There the guide talked about how this one little bug killed a big amount of people and stuff. Great. After that room, we went into the room with all the deformed animals in vinegar bottles. The last room was the weirdest, the room with all the Indian stuff. The guide talked all about myths and superstitions and stuff like that. "If you put this little round wooden plug in your ear, it will keep the spirits out."<br />
<br />
Now the zoo! You've probably been dying to read this ever since you looked at the title. Here it is. There was one small lion, an elephant, a hippo, and a HUGE snake everyone got to hold (later on). There were ducks and pigs, monkeys and snakes, ostriches and big cats. Maybe the zoo in Paraguay isn't <i>quite </i>as advanced as the U.S. but it was still fun. Lots of fun, big, scary, weird, cool, awkward animals.<br />
<br />

We were all walking along and having fun when a man comes up holding a boa. I squeal and point, and we all go over there to get a better look. The guys asks if I want to hold the snake. SURE! I hold it and get my picture taken. Then the guy asks the kids if they want to drape the snake around there neck. Whoa! The kids and Americans go up there and get there pictures taken, too. Later in the day, one of the kids tries to put the skin of the snake on everyone. Gross.<br />
<br />
Lunch time! Some of the adults went for pizza while the kids stayed and played. With adults, of course. While we were talking, one of my friends suddenly got excited and pointed at a tree. Yeah, a tree. Never seen one before? But wait! As you look closer, you can see a monkey on one of the tree limbs. Asleep. Awesome! A monkey on the loose! Well a lot of random stuff like that happened and I had a LOT of fun. I want to thank the people who made it possible for us to go. Including my mom! :) Hope you enjoyed this!<br />

Two mission teams came. The first from Lee University, they stayed for 10 weeks. The other was the family and friends of a missionary already here, Dana. They were both SUPER fun!!<br />

</tbody></table>The first team, Audra, Erica, and Letitia came and did all kinds of fun stuff! First they did a VBS every Saturday.

I had sooo much fun with them and made three new best friends! They were AMAZING and so cool! I already miss them!<br />

We also translated for them. They were so much fun! And as always, the worst part is when they leave. I had so much fun with all of them! I hope God will permit us to see again sometime. I had such a great time. Thanks for coming, teams! <br />

We can't make it here because we don't have all the ingredients, but when Nana visits, she packs them in her suitcase and we enjoy K-bars! It's so wonderful that I thought why not share it with the world? So here it is.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 cup white corn syrup<br />
<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
<br />
1 cup peanut butter<br />
<br />
6 cups Special K cereal<br />
<br />
1 cup chocolate chips(mmmmmmm!)<br />
<br />
1 cup butterscotch chips<br />
<br />
Heat sugar and syrup to boiling. remove from heat and stir in peanut butter; pour over cereal. Mix well. Press in greased 9x13" pan. Melt chips over low heat and spread on top(don't forget to lick the spoon!). Put in fridge or freezer until cool and cut into bars. Enjoy! (Number of servings 18-24 bars)<br />

JELLO! It's actually a great snack for really hot days (which are very common here). Ladies and Gentleman, my jello recipe.<br />
<br />
First you'll need a 9x13" pan. If you have fresh fruit you can use that, but I just use the canned fruit. I would NOT recommend apples or bananas. You can take fruit cocktail or peaches (I use peaches) and put them in the bottom of your pan. Then you mix up a couple of boxes of jello (you thought the jello was homemade didn't you?) and pour it over the fruit. You stick it in the fridge and voila, you have the perfect snack for hot days.<br />
