This blog is all about my new book that I just finished reading. It’s called The Crocodile Tomb. You may not understand most of the book because it is the 4th book of the series. It is about this boy ,called Hylas, and this girl ,called Pirra. Pirra was the daughter of a high Priestess,called Yassara. She had a slave who she loved dearly and he called her his little sister. But unfortunately he died trying to protect something called the dagger of Koronos from who it belongs to because if they wield it they will only use it to cause chaos and disaster. The owners of the dagger have been given the name the Crows because they make their weapons out of bronze which is shiny and Crows like shiny things. They prayed to the gods that if they posses the dagger they would be unstoppable but one day they were told of a prophecy that said, ‘If an Outsider wields the blade, the house of Koronos burns…’  There is a boy called Telamon who is about the same age as Hylas and they were best friends along with Hylas’ sister, Issi. Unfortunately Issi went missing after Koronos,the leader of the Crows, and his men attacked their camp so they had to run away. The story moved along quickly and Hylas found out that Telamon was a Crow and they eventually became enemies. Telamon was always jealous of Hylas after that because everyone preferred Hylas over him. Hylas is also the outsider the  Prophecy was talking about so Telamon wants to kill him personally and make his grandfather,Koronos, proud of him.

When Kaspar the cat first arrived at London’s Savoy Hotel, it was Johnny Trott who carried him in. After all, Johnny was a bellboy and was responsible for all of Countess Kandinsky’s things— including Kaspar. But when tragedy befalls the Countess during her stay, Kaspar becomes more than Johnny’s responsibility: Kaspar is Johnny’s new cat, and his new best friend.

And when Kaspar and Johnny meet Lizziebeth, a spirited young heiress, they find themselves journeying across the Atlantic with Lizziebeth’s family on England’s newest and most magnificent ship, the Titanic. After all, he’s Kaspar Kandinsky, Prince of Cats, a Londoner and a New Yorker and, as far as anyone knows, the only cat to survive the sinking of the Titanic…

In this tightly wound tale by the author of The Golden Compass and Count Karlstein, clockmaking and clockmakers serve as metaphors for fiction and its practitioners. The quaint (and aptly named) German village of Glockenheim sets great store in its clockmaking tradition: each time an apprentice becomes master of his craft, he commemorates the occasion by adding a new figure to the town’s great clock. On the eve of one of these celebrations, a delectably spooky train of events is set in motion when the novelist Fritz sets out to entertain the villagers with his most recent work: the tale of Prince Florian, the deceased local ruler’s son, whose fate is linked to a brilliant clockmaker. Fritz’s narrative is interrupted by the arrival of a cloaked man who appears to have sprung straight from the pages of his novel: the aforementioned craftsman, enigmatic Dr. Kalmenius of Schatzberg, who has come–or so it seems–to help the gloomy apprentice clockmaker Karl achieve an unearned triumph in the next day’s ceremonies. Meanwhile, poor Florian–whose time has nearly run out–stumbles into Glockenheim and finds the innkeeper’s sweet daughter Gretl, the one person capable of restoring true life to the mechanical prince. In signature Pullman style, each character gets his or her just deserts with a fairy-tale ending that pays fitting and playful tribute to the story’s twin obsessions: “”So they both lived happily ever after; and that was how they all wound up.””

I recommend this book to an 8 to 13 aged child, some hard language but mostly fine

Chapter 1

There was a little boy he had no mum or dad but he lives in a Savoy Hotel and  there as a Bellboy and his name was Johnny Trot.He has a  master called Skullface and shes the meanest lady u will ever meat in your life. The job Bellboy was the worst and lowest job in the whole hotel. There was a countess, she was a very lovely and old lady and she had a cat I think u know who it is but if u don’t her cat name was Kaspar. One day the countess was talking to Johnny( and she thought his name was funny) and soon became nice to each other in a friendly type of way. Also Johnny really  liked Kasper. In their conversation the countess asked Johnny if he could help look after Kasperbecause she was so buzy most of the time and Kasper was lonley, but evern though he was not allowed he  still agreed to help and it all went well for now…..

In  the rest of the book, the  Countess dies and asks Johnny if he can look after him. From then on Kaspar staies in the same room as Johnny even though he is not allowed but the rest of the Bellboys in the hotel did not tell on him besides they really liked Kasper and wanted to help in anyway they can. Soon Kaspar was not eating anything and he was not happy at all, they all tried to help but it didn’t work at all.But then one day there was a rich family visiting the Savoy hotel. It was a family of three, one daughter and two parents (mum and dad). There daughter (Elizabeth) was very cheeky and loves to hide and play games. She was often told off but she didn’t care. When they came to the hotel at the time her mum and dad wern’t looking she went to go and hide/explore. Once her mum and dad could not see her they raised the alarm. The belboys checked everywhere but there was no sine of her and then Johnny thought to himself that she might be up in the Bellboys hallway bedrooms.

When he found her by Kaspar eating his food very well and not sick at all he started talking to her and soon became friends and he told Elizabeth not to say a word about it because if she does…

Now everyday (at least three times a day) she would sneek out and come and visit them sometimes Johnny will be there on break and sometimes he won’t,but still every time she comes she will draw a picture and leave a note about that she has come and seen Kaspar.

One day while they were talking Elizabeth told Johnny about the biggest boat in the world that she is going on in a few days time she invited Johnny but Johnny refused so she had to talk him into it and that her dad will pay for him and in America u can be what u want its a free life.

So when the day came Johnny packed his few things and his uniform and went with Elizabeth to the boat. When they got to the boat thousands and thousands of people were there and wanted to get the boat. .His job was not a very nice because a man saw him walking around and didnt know how or were he came from so even though it was not a nice job they trated him and the others correctly. There he saw a few boys like him soon his best friend was a little hard working boy who didn’t know any English, so it was hard for him to communicate with him.

One awful night Johnny herd something up on deck,he went to see what it was and it was only one thing THE BOAT HAS BEEN HIT and will soon sink the alarm raised and everyone polluted the area in fear. What will they do NEXT…
