Luiaard's Crits #2: The Unteachables

The Unteachables is an amazing book by author Gordon Korman. Not only do I recommend this book but also his other funny stories.

When Mr. Kermit has to teach one more, just one more class before early retirement, it had to be: The Unteachables. The Unteachables are a group of trouble makers and misfits who, well, cause trouble. Aldo, who has anger issues. Elaine has a reputation that "rhymes with pain." Parker can't read. Barnstorm is a retired jock. Mateo is lost in fantasy worlds. Rahim the sleep-deprived artist. And then there's Kiana who doesn't even belong there! Will Mr. Kermit survive with the Unteachables? Will the Unteachables just prank him like all the other teachers? Or will Mr. Kermit and the Unteachables become a class that no one will ever forget?

Book: This is such an amazing book! There is humor, saving the day, and even a bit of mush. Read this! Gordon Korman always has a good plot and some humor packed into every one of his stories.

Link, Watch Out!

Image
Hey peeps! I am back again! Anyway, my awesome friend, Leo, likes Legend of Zelda. So, I looked up what the main character, Link, looked like and I drew him. When Leo saw this he said it looked cool and I am hoping you think so too! Oh, and one more thing. If you're wondering why Blue Box (I think that's what they are called) is saying, "Watch out!" then it is because Leo sent me a video of a song on YouTube. I will not post the link, but the song is called Watch Out.  Thanks for checking out my art!  Let me know if you like Legend of Zelda and I will draw more art based on it.

Luiaard's Crits #1: The Book and Movie Flipped

Flipped is probably one of the best books or movies I have ever watched/read.  When they meet in second grade, Juli Baker instantly  falls  in love with her neighbor, Bryce Loski. Bryce, however, does not feel the spark. From that day forward, he tries hard to avoid Juli and keep her unpredictable-ness away. After six years, she begins to feel that she was wrong about him being the love of her life and looks beneath the surface. Unfortunately, that is just about the time that Bryce begins to think he was wrong about Juli, too.  Book:  It might be a romance, but it is a really cute book about how both of them see beneath the surface. It has a really good story even if it is a little mushy. I would give it 5 stars! Movie: I love the movie as well and I love how the director really alternated the point of view just like the author did in the book. The movie contains less details, but it is much more visual and it is as amazing as the book.

Hey again, peeps! Today I drew my first OC (In case you don't know, that is an "original character"). I am especially proud of this piece of work, it is an improvement from what I usually draw. Here is her "profile." Age: 11 Hobbies: Stargazing, playing in the snow Food & drinks: Mushrooms and tea Personality: Curious, adventurous  Aura is 11 years old and she lives in a cold climate. She is always curious and loves snowflakes. When Aura is not frolicking in the snow, she is in the forest. She likes to eat mushrooms and drink tea. When it’s not snowing, she observes the night sky and records the stars she sees.
