SUMMARY

Robert (Bobby) Pendragon is a normalfourteen year-old boy, until his mysterious

Uncle Press whisks him away on an adventure

of a lifetime that requires:

Saving the universe,

Avoiding getting killed by a sadistic demon,

Helping steer territories of the Universe

(Halla) away from Civil Wars of their own,Which is a lot for young Bobby, because since

now, all he could do was play basketball. Now

he has the Universe on his shoulders- and no

second chances.

Why Did I Choose This Book?I chose this book because this is one of my favorite series that Ive

ever read (and Ive read a lot). It also makes you think. Why did that

happen? Who did that? Youre kept questioning all the way through the

whole story. You can feel what the characters are feeling, you can see

what theyre seeing, you can hear what theyre hearing, and you can smellwhat theyre smelling. D.J MacHale has a way of writing that makes you

feel like youre there in the story, watching on the sidelines. I also like this

book because its got a good length. The first book is 374 pages long (so if

you dont have the patience to read a book that long, then this book is

probably not for you) and I cant finish this book in a day, like most books

(because sometimes I buy books, then I read them in a day, and my moneyis wasted) so these books will keep you busy for a while. Also, these books

will keep you hooked until the very end. Youll finish a book, and have to

have the next one right next to you or youll go crazy waiting to get the

next one. This series is pretty long, so when you finish it the first time, the

time it took you to read the books would be so long that you could read

them all over again!

My Favorite Passage

Ready? Uncle Press asked.No. I replied honestly.

Good, I would be surprised if you were.

He shot back. He kicked the bike into gear, hit

the gas, and the two of us sped down the quiet

suburban street that had been my home for the

past fourteen years.

I hope Ill see it again some day.-- The Merchant of

Death, by D.J MacHale.

I like this passage because this is where

the story really starts.

Reading Strategies: Visualizing

One of the reading strategies I used whilereading this book is visualizing (which I think everybodyuses automatically). I used them when Bobby isdescribing what Saint Dane looks like when they firstmet:

His hair grew long and straight until it was overhis shoulders. His body grew until he was nearly sevenfeet tall. His skin became ghostly pale. His clotheschanged from the khaki brown cop uniform, to an all-black suit that vaguely reminded me of the far east. Butnone of that mattered as much as his eyes. His eyesgrew icy blue and flashed with and evil intensity thatmade me understand the sheer force of will that hepossessed Its a very descriptive paragraph that helps

you visualize what Saint Dane that looks like.

Reading Strategies: Context Clues

I also used context clues, becausethere are some words that arent reallywords and are made up purposefully for

the book, and they dont make muchsense to anybody if they dont usecontext clues. For example, the word:Quigs means nothing to you unless

you read around the book and find outthat they are bloodthirsty, man-eating,shape shifting dogs beasts.

Recommendations

The book says on the back that the age

recommendation is ages 10 and up. I agree that the book

would probably be a little hard to understand at an age

younger than 10. The books also get more complicated as

you read through the series. Usually when books like that arerated like that, up usually means 10 to 20. I let my

grandmother borrow the first book, and she loved it- so that

generalization doesnt really apply here. The genre is science

fiction, but it could be labeled as fantasy, romance,

adventure, or history.The book is narrated by a teenage boy, but I

recommend this book to girls, boys, men, women, parents,

and grandparents. Yeah, theyre really that good.
