The reading strategies I used when reading this book were making mental images and making connections. I wondered how I would react if I find millions of dollars.

Capricorn is the evil villain in this book. He is very greedy. He steals and kills just for gold.
The reading strategy I used when reading this book was "summerizing." This strategy allowed me to better understand the book since, by reviewing, I was able to pick-up on important information.

I enjoyed reading Inkheart. I think the plot of the book is amazing. I also enjoyed the ending because it had a happy ending since Meggie was reunited with her mother. Capricorn held Meggie's mother hostage, who was ultimately freed by Meggie and Mo. This book is very well-written and very discriptive.

The author of this book is Cornelia Funke. Other books by her include Inkspell, Inkdeath, Dragon Rider, and many more. Inkheart was on the New York Times Best Seller list, and it was a U.S.A Today Bestseller. I also read the Dragon Rider by this author, which I thoroughtly enjoyed.

The protagonist of this story is Percy Jackson. In this book Percy faces great challenges. For example, when Annabeth gets kidnapped by Dr. Thorn, a manticare, Percy and his friend must get her back.

I enjoyed reading The Titans Curse. Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with the most dangerous challenges.

The reading strategy I used when reading this book was reading between the lines. I read between the lines so I could predict what will happen next.

The author of The Titans Curse is Rick Riordan. The books that he wrote include:

• The Lighting Thief


• The Sea of Monsters

All these books are funny and action-packed.
