Chapter 9

"Mordrednida" 7. 10. 12
This is a drawing of Mordred's daughter. Even though Mordred in Arthurian Mythology never did have a daughter, I drew this because I thought in my head : What would happen if someone somehow found out that they were the daughter/son of a famous villain?  This drawing is also part of a novel I'm going to write. The artwork was done in color pencil. I was inspired by Arthurian mythology to draw, and possibly write, this.

Chapter 8

The Sisters Grimm: The Council of Mirrors
By Michael Buckley
The Sisters Grimm: The Council of Mirrors was the most intense book in the entire series. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 9 and a half because it still had that hilarious spark to it and was stuffed like a turkey with action. The only problem was that when Daphne was trying to find three witches, as the prophecy had said she would do, they talked about Frau Pfefferkuchenhaus as if she was still alive. In the two books back, that witch died in a war. That problem wasn't too big, so it could've reached a 10. The ending made me so excited, but I'm not going to give it away.  I got interested in the book when I heard that this series was concluding. I was so excited when it came out! People who love action, fairytales, and comedy would love this final book to the Sisters Grimm series. As Daphne would say it, this book was filled with "shenanigans". :)

Chapter 7

 Chinese Cinderella: The true story of an unwanted daughter
By Adeline Yen Mah
Chinese Cinderella was really good. I could feel the pain and suffering that the author had to go through in her youth. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this a 10 because if I could feel the way the author feels, the author is good. The story is almost like the actual "Cinderella", but without the glass slippers and pumpkin. I would recommend this to people who like to learn about the culture of China and the history of China.
When Adeline was born, her mother died, so now her siblings call her "bad luck" and despise her.
When Adeline's father remarries with a Chinese Parisian, things get worse. Niang, Adeline's new step mother, makes Adeline's life miserable and only tends to her biological kids.
In school Adeline is worshipped, since she gets a lot of medals and awards. In home, the only people who are her fairy godmothers are Aunt Baba, Ye Ye, and Nai Nai.
Her father treats Adeline like she's invisible, Niang hates Adeline, and it seems as if Adeline's step siblings get whatever they want.
Will Adeline have a happily ever after? Or will she be stuck in her living nightmare?

I read this book because it looked interesting when Alex was reading it for his summer reading project. It was short and only took me two hours to read. :)

Chapter 6

"Hand" - 1.2.12


This is my hand. This drawing was made by color pencils. 
My Mom inspired me to do this because she showed me how to do it 
and told me it kind of gives it a 3-D effect.
