Spectrobes


Is this a Spectrobe? Just kidding, it's Leperdy.

I love the Nintendo DS game, Spectrobes. It is not an easy game. Once my friend fell into a glitch (when you do something in a game that makes it impossible to go further in the game.) I don't know if he ever got out of the glitch. I never fell into a glitch. In fact, I beat the Spectrobes game three times.

My friend's Dad helped build the website for the game. I like the blog on the Spectrobes website, and I subscribed to it on my Google Reader. The writer is interesting, I wish she wrote more.

Did you know Spectrobe 2 is coming out?

Recent Book Reviews

lemonade_stand2 Beyond the Lemonade Stand by Bill Rancic.

This is a fun book for people who want to make cash, quick and easy. In the book, it describes different money-earning stories.

I like the part where the kid earned $300 from a car wash. I wouldn't mind earning that much money!



thief The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke.

This book is about two children who run away to Venice, Italy. I didn't care for the story because there wasn't that much action, and it was extremely unimaginative. It was too realistic.

I didn't like it because there wasn't any fantasy in it at all. There are a lot of runaway children in the world, and this seems to be a story about two of them. All in all, I say you should not read this book because it's extremely boring.


inkspell Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.

In this book, 12-year-old Meggie's father reads evil villain Capcorn out of a book. When Meggie finds a mysterious figure on her yard, her life changes forever.

I recommend this book for older Tweens, but I didn't really enjoy this book at all. I loved it at the beginning but I lost interest after awhile.


rls13th The 13th Warning by R.L. Stine.

It's a really good book about a boy named Lucky, and it's almost his birthday. He's thinking about stuff when his doorbell rings, and he thinks it's someone with a present. Instead, it's really old dudes warning him not to get 13 "13s" by midnight.
I read the whole book in one hour!
