Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon (Computer Game Nancy Drew)

Title: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon

Rated: E for Everyone

Description: Join the Hardy Boys on the mystery train bound for adventure. Sort through deception to find the treasure at the end of the line.

This game is fun also! I this I like this one better then Curse of Blackmoor Manor. I like it because, it isn't too scary, and isn't too hard. And this time you aren't in a creepy house, or manor, you're in a train.

Nancy has been invited by the Hardy Boys on an adventure to find the long lost treasure of Jake (don't remember his last name). His wife died on the train and he buried her.

Help Nancy find all of the clues on the train, to find Jake's lost gold mine. Or is it all about gold?

Natalie

The Secret of Shadow Ranch (Computer Game and Nancy Drew)

Title: The Secret of Shadow Ranch

Rated: E For Everyone

Description: A phantom horse leaves a trail of frightening "accidents." Divine the truth from the ghost stories or you might be next on the list for unearthly revenge.

Nancy's friends, Bess and George, invited Nancy to come and stay at Shadow Ranch with them and their Aunt Bet and Uncle Ed. But soon Nancy discovers that there is a mystery on her hands. There are myths about a guy named Dirk Valentine, who was in love with a girl named Frances Humber.

Dirk was then hanged for robbery, and Frances left her father forever, for he was the on who wanted to hang Dirk. But what Frances never found out was that Dirk had left her money, but France's father hid it.

Nancy then finds out that there is a phantom horse on the ranch and might be trying to scare the people of of the ranch. Help Nancy find out who the culprit is and where the treasure is.

By the way, I have a good walk through for this game if you need help!

Natalie

Curse of Blackmoor Manor (Computer Game, Nancy Drew)

Title: Curse of Blackmoor Manor

Rated: E for Everyone

Description: Something sinister lurks in the haunted mansion's tragic past. Confront the myths and the beasts that have ruined the Penvellyn family's happy endings!

First of all, this is the scariest and hardest Nancy Drew game of all, and I agree with that. So make sure that you are very smart, and don't get scared easily. (Of course, I used a walk through, so if you are having trouble with this game, leave me your email, and I will give you a great walk through)

I LOVE this game. This is my favorite of all the Nancy Drew games I have played! Nancy Drew is going to Blackmoor to figure out what is wrong with Linda, who just got married to a man named Hugh.

It starts out with you leaving a bus and walking up to the door. And you are Nancy and you are her eyes, ears, hands, and mouth. Walk around this mansion figuring out who the culprit is.

I want to thank my mom for helping me, and my brother. They both helped me in some games. And just to let you know, it took me 2 times, because I had to restart it. And even though I got frustrated, you shouldn't, because you will be happy when you finish the game!

Natalie



P.S. I got this for Christmas, I also got The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, and Secret of the Old Clock. Next will either be, Secret of Shadow Ranch, or Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. I have already wrote a review on Secret of the Old Clock.

Seventeen Wishes Christy Miller by Robin Gunn

Title: Seventeen Wishes

Author: Robin Jones Gunn

Stars: 5

Description: It's summer, and that means the beach and other adventures. And Christy Miller's best friend, Katie, is always full of ideas. They'll be camp counselors! But when Katie can't go, Christy is bewildered and overwhelmed by her fifth-grade girls, who have boundless energy for everything except what Christy wants then to do. Do they even hear a word she says? Soon they're playing matchmaker between Christy and Jaeson, a handsome counselor...and he doesn't seem to mind. When Chrisy's seventeenth birthday arrives later in the summer, just what will she be wishing for?

Christy's friend, Katie, has signed them both up as camp counselors! But soon Katie finds out that her parents won't let her go, so Christy is a little afraid. A couple of hours with her fifth-grade girl campers, is just about enough to make anyone go insane.

But Christy finds out that she needs to show love and compassion to these little girls. And when she does it makes things a lot easier. And then Christy's seventeenth birthday comes up. And she finds out that everything is perfect the way it is.

Thanks for understanding!

P.S. If the poll doesn't show up on your computer, please tell me!

Twilight The Movie

Ok, first of all....THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE!! I hardly changed anything, just little tiny things to fit the movie. If you have read the book, I really recommend this to you!

Robert Pattinson played the part of Edward perfectly. My mom and I think that Bella kind of over-acted it but it was still good.

My mom and I also wished that they would have showed more of the family and Alice. Ashley Greene played Alice really good! She was perfect!

This movie is Rated PG-13 for violence and a scene of sensuality.

I really have to tell, you this will definitely be on my wish list for my birthday next year!

My favorite part was Bella and Edward's first kiss, and when the Cullens are making a meal for Bella, and Edward says she just ate and Rosalie has a bowl of salad in her hand and smashes it into little pieces. I also that it was cool that they showed Stephenie Meyer in the movie. She was at a counter saying thank you to the waiter.

There is one scene wear Bella and Edward make-out. And then there is some violence. Alice tears a head off (doesn't really show it), vampires crashing through windows and then Bella gets a cut on her head by being thrown into a wall. And then it shows the bad vampire break Bella's leg. I had to look away in some parts but it was really cool!

Starry Nigh Christy Miller by Robin Gunn

Title: Starry Night

Author: Robin Gunn

Stars: 5

Description: It's Christmastime, and Christy Miller has so much going on: family time, work, and maybe, going to the Rose Bowl Parade with a bunch of friends. If only she could answer Uncle Bob's tough questions. Todd's buddy Doug gives her some insight, and she starts to appreciate him in a whole new way. Rick Doyle shows up again...but is he pursuing Christy or the cutest elf at the mall? Will Christy find someone to count the stars with?

Christy is ready for her Christmas break. She spends some time with her friends in Newport Beach. She starts to appreciate Doug, Todd's best friend, in a whole new way and wonders if they will ever be more then friendship.

Rick has changed very much. Christy isn't sure if they want to start over with their relationship. She is also having trouble with her Uncle Bob's hard questions. What will she do?

In this book I like it that Christy's best friend gets her first kiss. So you can tell there is some kisses in this book.

True Friends by Robin Gunn Christy Miller

Title: True Friends

Author: Robin Jones Gunn

Stars: 5

Description: What is a true friend? Christy Miller knows two of them: Todd and Katie. To show how much she appreciates them, she writes to Todd, who's off surfing in Hawaii, and she agrees to join the ski club with Katie...even though she's scared of skiing! Fortunately, Christy and Katie can laugh as they bumble their way around the bunny slopes of Lake Tahoe. But Christy finds herself caught between new friends and her loyalty to Katie. Will Christy find a way to be a true friend when it counts the most? And will Todd ever write back?

This book is like the second book because it shows a really good moral to this story. When Christy and Katie join the ski club their hole friendship turns upside down. Christy finds new rich friends and whats to teach them about Jesus Christ. But then she finds out that they are hiding a liquor in their cabin.

Katie tries to speak up and tell on them. But nobody believes her. Will Christy stand up for Katie when it counts?

In this book there are rich mean girls. They bring vodka into the cabin. But to tell you, these books are only for about 9 or 10 years old and up. These books aren't go little girls.

Please Pray

Please pray for my family. We have been having money problems. I won't be able to do Tae-kwon-do and Voice Lessons for about a month and a half. So please pray that my mom and dad can make more money.

But as long as we have food in our bellies and enough money for our health, we will be fine. So please really pray for us.
