The floating island by Elizabeth Haydon

This is a book about a nain kid (A ancient race) who's name is Ven. He gets thrown in jail to decide if he will live for his "Big mistake".

I really liked this book, it was and adventure of him and his friends and how he will live the rest of his life, in part of this tale there is a small mystery involving a ghost that kills and a man who lets his dogs kill people. I liked how the author of this book (Elizabeth Haydon) writes, in this book she has it so that there are some pictures of this adventure, and some notes from the journals of Ven. I would have to say that the character i like the most would be Char, hes the cooks mate, because he is always the one that doesn't want to be involved but somehow becomes involved. The place this story takes its tole is on two islands and a mysterious floating one... There are some interesting passages in this book from the beginning to the end, its full of adventure and mystery.

If i would have to choose a book from this blog at blogger.com i would choose one of these and many others, the reason is that this book is a really good book that i have read,and i have read many,this book is also really easy to read. I really think that this book is a really good book for a young read, or a ready of any age in matter of fact, the main character is unusual for his race, most nain prefer to work with ground, but Ven really likes the water and he is one of the only nain that can swim. This is about all i have to say for this book and i hope you will like it. Thanks for reading! :)
