GEORGE WASHINGTON

George Washington was born on 22th February, 1732 (or on 11th February, 1731) and he died on 14th December, 1799. He was the first President (1789–1797) of the United States of America. He was also the commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a mason too (masons are very nice people, who follow many interesting rituals etc. ;)

Some day he and his friends colonels decided to start a big revolution (jupii!!!) against ... England :(. Why? Because England was very cruel for American colonies (big taxes etc.). Many people died during the American Revolution, but Washington won.

He built a great and a strong nation - America.

HAPPY END!!!

Stoneheart

Hey, hi, hello!

I’ve found ANOTHER interesting book :). This time it’s called Stoneheart. It’s about a 12-year-old boy called George. After he gets into trouble in the museum during a school trip, he gets into trouble on the street. (yeap, on the street). He breaks a sculpture of Pterodactyl.  And this strange creature starts to hunt for him. Only he can see it. Another statue saves him from getting killed, and this time it’s Gunner, a sculpture of  World War I. However, things get more difficult than George can imagine.

Shatter Me

Hello!

I’ve read an interesting book during the long weekend. It’s called “Shatter Me”. The main character is called Juliette. She is a teen who has been incarcerated for a murder caused by her fatal touch. When she touches somebody she takes her/his life energy and inflicts killing pain. One day they give her a cellmate called Adam Kent. She finds out that he is her old friend from school. And he is the only one who can touch her safely… That’s where all the trouble starts…

The Door to Time

Hi!

I’ve read a book called „The Door to Time”. It’s about 3 friends who live in a little town  (you can’t find it on the map). They live in an old house. One day they get a strange letter with 4 keys in it. Behind the closet there is a hidden door with 4 key holes… Julie, Jason and Rick slowly discover the secrets of Villa Argo.  I think it's a very interesting book.
