Children of the Lamp; The Akhenaten Adventure is a fantasy book about two 12-year-old twins named Philippa and John. The story is set in present tence, with 3rd person as the speaker. It starts off with their wisdom teeth growing and then they start to grant wishes without knowing, all signs of becoming a Djinn. Djinn, are people who look and behave just like humans, but they have a fire spirit living inside them. John and Philippa had no idea of what a Djinn might be, which is why their uncle, Nimrod, comes to their dreams as they are having their surgery for getting out their wisdom teeth, he tells them to ask their parents if the twins could come and visit him in England.
When they ask they get a surprising yes from their parents about going from New York to England, that’s where it all begins. Nimrod, John and Philippa go through exciting adventures as they travel to Cario, Egypt.
This book is breath taking and lively; a true page turner. Philippa and John are two interesting characters who learn a lot about themselves and their powers, they get to met many other characters, such as Groanin a one-armed butler who works for Nimrod, their uncle.
The idea of Djinn actually exciting is fascinating, it’s amazing how well thought through the Djinn world is planed and the history behind it, it is almost believable, as the characters all have a different believable personality.
On a scale from 1- 10 I would give it an 8 because it is a little bit slow in the beginning, but when the action starts it gets interesting. In the end of the book it shows an interview with the author, I think that was a very good idea it tells you a little bit about the reasons why the author wrote the book. I would suggest this book for kids from the age 11 to 15.
I found a website that was about how to make a comic. It included steps to follow and some very important things to notice while making your own comic. It also tells you some Tips & Warnings, and a link incase you need help. You can print the article, send a copy to email, add to favorites, etc… if you would like, on the top of the page. There are also some other links on the website to help guide you.
Click HERE to see the website.
Press this link.
That link takes you to a website that can teach you how to draw different drawings there is a whole list full of different things that they can teach you how to draw.
There are also some clips from youtube which show how to draw things such as an eye, for example.
When I looked at this website i saw that it was very useful and quite easy to understand.
There is a lot on how to draw manga things and people.
The steps are easy to follow and it turns out great on my tries.
I chose this website it tells the steps very clearly.
Hi,
If I could have any kind of imaginary factory it would be a factory that would make everlasting food. So, if you make an apple, for example, then if you took a bite it would taste wonderfully delicious and then the bit that you would have bitten off would grown right back! This would be great, just imagine all the starving people would never have to worry again. The factory would not only make apples but every single kind of food you could ever think of.
Why? Because, like mentioned before, all the starving people would have food lasting forever and no-one would ever have to shop more then once in their life. Though, there would be many consequences if my factory would come true, like stores would shut down and people would loose their jobs the population of animals would overflow, but putting all that aside I think that it would really be a great thing to have everlasting food, it’s very convenient and also very time saving and energy. All those people struggling to make food could finally just relax. Also, lots of money could be saved, imagine all the money an average human would spend on only food, and all the extra work they would have to do just to make sure they have enough to actually get some food, instead they could put that money on something else.
Thank you,
Saga
Hello fellow readers,
Last week my class (6A) and I made a display in our English Class. The display had to be about what makes Roald Dahl a good storyteller. We got some free space on a wall where we were allowed to paste all of our information on. We straightaway got working. Some people were sharing ideas, which were really good. Though, some people were just wondering around. I was working very hard think up new ideas and helping other people get going. I had to start with typing up a paragraph that Lauren had helped me with. Some people were being leaders, which was good because there has to be some one in charge, some leaders, however, got carried away and didn’t do much work themselves. As a class I think we did a pretty good job. Our final display was very creative and had a lot of information that we had quickly put together, because we only had a double period to finish everything. I’ve heard from the other classes about their ideas, they all seem very nice though I still really like ours. In the end I do not think that we answered the question properly, but we did have some information on why RD was a good writer. Anyways, on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being excellent, I would say that in total we were an 8.5.
When we were working we were all just running around and giving people orders, asking for help and helping out each other, as a team I think we did excellent. I personally liked working in a group as a class; I think the assignment was exciting though a bit hard at times.
Overall, I think the teamwork was very good, we all tried to agree. The display was very creative, like Roald Dahl is, which worked. I did not like how some people got carried away too much though because they wanted it their way.
Thank you for reading!
