Cyberkid Sounds Off!

Looks like we're getting some lively discussion as well as votes. cyberkid 303 has something he really wants to say:

The Lightning Thief so did not reek!!!!!!It is the best book ever. It is all about Percy, who gets kicked out of boarding school. He then realizes he is a half-blood. A half-blood is a half god, half human. He is chased by a lot of minotaurs, hellhounds, furies, and other things. He is offered a quest to return the stolen lightning bolt.

VOTE FOR THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cyberkid 303 votes:
Percy Jackson
Charlie Bone
Harry Potter
Jack Sparrow

Hey, who said that The Lightning Thief reeks???!!!??? Them's fightin' words!! Who told you that, cyberkid? I'll thrash 'em and smash 'em and crash 'em--Well, you get the idea. I really like the PJ books. But I'll tell you guys something; I really like the Narnia books too. If they go head to head, well, I'll have a hard time deciding. Hmmm. Well, Ive said it before, and I'll say it again--Percy Jackson all the way!! But nothing will ever take the place of my beloved Narnia or Lord of the Rings books. I'd say those two and Percy Jackson are my all-time favorites.
But I'm getting off the subject. You'll notice that cyberkid included a review with his votes. That means he got a "three point shot." In other words, he gets 3 extra points for writing a review. So take notice, everyone!! If you want extra points, write in some reviews. You can do it even if you've already voted. Or if you've given us a paper ballot.
BTW, if you want to see something really fun, go to the Guys Read blog (you can go there from our links on the left-hand side of the page) and look at their Peeps Jousting!!

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
