**Summary:** //The Throne of Fire //by Rick Riordan is a very good book; you won't be able to put it down! The main characters, Carter and Sadie, are trying to defeat chaos once again. To do it they need to bring the sun god, Ra, out of his sleep. They'll need help from the gods, both minor and major, their friends (and magic trainees), and even their enemies. Of course, with these kids one problem is never enough; the Chief Lector (or most powerful magician), Michel Desjardins, thinks that Carter and Sadie are the enemy for working with the gods. The truth is his own servant, Vladimir Menshikov, is being influenced by Apophis (chaos) himself.

My favorite part of //The Throne of Fire// was when Carter and Sadie were sailing down the River of Night, met a "piece" of Ra, and had to name him. Of course, they had to come up with his secret name (like having to give an animal's scientific name instead of its common name), but you can read the book and find your favorite part.

Poetry

Girl to Cat

Well cat, I'll tell you: Life with you ain't been no good hair day. It's had tangles in it, And mats, And old hair bows eaten up-- NASTY! But all the time I've been brushin' on, And conquerin' tangles, And sometimes gettin' stuck Where there ain't no way out. So cat, don't you stop. Don't you put that brush down Cause you find it's kinda hard. Don't you stop now-- For I'm still brushin', Life with you ain't been no good hair day.

I Remember I remember listening to my coach’s pre-game pep talk. I remember standing on the court for the first time.

I remember feeling so small along with the other nine people compared to the huge court. I remember catching the ball and instantly being attacked by the other team.

I remember screaming with joy when my teammate scored the first point.

I remember shooting the ball and then it bouncing right back out of the basket.

I remember hearing the crowd gasp when at the last second my teammate scored a point for the other team. I remember jumping with joy when I saw the scoreboard at the end (13-6)!

Some things I may forget, but when it comes to basketball, there are many things that I remember.

Ode to Soccer Balls

Oh soccer ball, how you come towards me with amazing speed, Then my foot leaps out in front of me, They meet with a SMACK, And away you fly.

Down the field you go, Offense runs you past the other team They shoot you And then... GOAL!

Oh soccer ball, With your black and white spots, Thank you for all you do, We couldn't play without you.

I Love You More Than Reese's Cups

I love you more than Reese's Cups,  Than Whoppers or a Kiss,   Than Ghiradelli,   A giant Smartie,   And a big pile of Bliss. I love you more than minty York,  And a milk chocolate fountain,   Than Pay Days,   And Milky Ways,   And some Babe Ruth stacked into a mountain. I love you more than Blow Pops,  Than Skittles on some toast,   For bubble gum,   Yum, yum, yum,   But I love you the most.

__A Tree, a Bee, and Mrs. Lee__ Tree is a noun. Bee is a noun. Even Mrs. Lee is a noun. Ham is a noun. Sam is a noun. In fact the breakfast jam is a noun. If it's a cat, a mat, or bat. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;">If it's an old white hat. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;">If it's a clock, a sock, or town. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;">It's elementary- it's a noun.
