The last apprentice book 1
This is an absolutely great book, if you like a bunch of strange ghosts, and ghouls, and zombies, and other types of monsters. The main character is. A boy named Thomas ward is the main character in this book. He is an apprentice to a person named Gregory, also known as old Gregory. Old Gregory is a person known as a spook. A spook is a person who deals with ghosts ghasts withes and a bunch of other mystical creatures that most people have not heard of. The first book is about when Gregory first takes on Thomas ward as his apprentice and he begins his training as a spook. There aren't that many spooks because one it's a scary job, and they need to be seventh sons of a seventh son. My favorite character in this book is old Gregory because he is very experienced in fighting the dark and he tells really cool story's like a bunch of story's about how he fights of witches and boggarts. This book Is a good book for anyone who likes mysterious creatures. Like boggarts, a boggart is a creature that is normally invisible, but a seventh son of a seventh son can see them. They can materialize in the shape of a dog cat sheep goat or horse. There are lots of them in the county, the place were this is based. For anyone who likes good story books, and mythical creatures this book is perfect for you, everyone should read this amazing book.

Book review on the summerlands
The book the summer lands I'd a book written by micheal Chabon, I hav not read any of his other books but I very much intend to now. The book the summer lands has lots of characters, so there are (in my opinion) four main characters. Those characters are Ethan feld, Ethan felds dad, Thor, and Jennifer T. Thor is a human, and part ferisher, which is a little hard to explain but a ferisher is kind of like a fairy with no wings, mixed with an American Indian tribe. Ethan and mr. Feld are just normal humans, and Jennifer t. Is a human mixed with something called a shadowtail, which is a creature with some....spiecal abilities. The book tacked place in the tree of life, it's literally a tree. There are three parts to the tree, the summerlands, the winterlands, and the middling. The middling is where we live now, and the other two aren't that hard to figure out (shadowtails are able to jump from branch to branch of the tree) if you like baseball this is the perfect book for you. In this book baseball is almost holy, in a way. All the creatures and characters in the book have something to do with baseball. The plot is the four characters I mentioned earlier find out that the coyote is trying to destroy the tree of life, and create a new one, were he rules everything. The coyote is all of those tricksters from the old miths, like Loki, or Satan. So Ethan and Jennifer T. get scouted out (like in baseball) to become heroes by a professional hero scout, mr.brown. They travel into the summer lands and need to find a way to stop coyote. They go around trying to find coyote through all three of the worlds and somewhere along the way pick up some characters and form a baseball team. I won't spoil any more of this book, but it's allot better than I described it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story about old myths.
