Book Review: Miki falls

Miki falls is one of the best books I ever read. It is a manga witch is a kind of Japanese comic book. It's by a man called Mark Crilly. He is an amazing artist, and he even does tutorials on manga on YouTube. Miki is the main character in this book. This is her last year of high school, and she still doesn't like some one. On the third day of school a new kid comes. His name is Hiro. There is some thing strange about him, maybe it's the fact that he has isolated him self from every one else, and doesn't want any friends. Miki doesn't know, but she can't stop herself from liking him.

One of my favorite parts of this book is when Miki and Hiro go on a walk on their way back it start to rain. There were thees funny circles in the back round, and i thought they were just a gate, but then in the next panel i was surprised there was a car! Then i realized that the funny circles were head lights. The car hits Miki, and Hiro, but just barley. I was thinking how can you live through that. You are dead for sure if you get hit by a car! Then they get up. What? I thought in my head.

Miki falls may not be the most realistic of books but it is one of the bests.

AmberJack sushi

Amber Jack Sushi is my all time favorite restaurant. It only has four tables, but that doesn't matter. It's the food that counts. Amber Jack Sushi is this hole in the wall sushi store that also sells rice, fish, seaweed salad, and tons of other Japanese food. It is in Mill Valley Here is a picture of it:

One of the best things about Amber Jack is that it's so warm in there. All of the tables are snug and cozy. It is also very nicely decorated in there. It seems more like a kitchen than a restaurant. As soon as you walk through the door your nose gets flooded with these great smells of sushi and miso soup. Another great thing about Amber Jack is that they have really great waiter service. If it's because they only have four tables I'm not sure, but all in all you get your food in about eight minuets instead of fifteen.

There is still one thing I haven't talked about, and it's the most important thing. THE FOOD! Amber Jack has some of the best food I have ever tasted.They have all the classics in the sushi department, and then plus some. My two favorite kinds of sushi there are called the California roll, and the cherry blossom roll. The California is a normal roll filled with shrimp, avocado, and cucumber. The cherry blossom roll has two kinds of raw fish on the outside, and has avocado, carrot and cucumber in the inside. If you're not in the mood for sushi they have tons of other stuff. Like vegetable tempura which is grilled vegetables. You could also get a teriyaki dinner which is fried chicken cut into strips with sauce on the side. It also comes with rice, salad, and soup. There is another kind of salad I like called seaweed salad it is basically a bowl of seaweed. My favorite thing at Amber Jack is called Beef Negi Magi. It is thin strips of beef wrapped around green onion, and boy is it good.

Amber Jack Sushi is one of the best sushi places I have ever been to, and I hope you will like it too.

Book Review: The Alchemyst

I'm am reading this book called the Alchemyst. It is action packed and full of suspense. It is about two twins (Sophie and Josh) who have a prophesy written about them. It says they will have to save the world.

At the beginning of the book a evil scourer attacks the shop owner Josh works for. That was one of my favorite parts in the whole book. The scourer brings these creatures made of mud. Thy are kind of like people, but they melt and die when they are in the sun for to long. During the battle the twins learn about magic. By that I mean they see a curled haze with sparks a explosions. Half way through the battle josh is holding a very valuable book. I thought it was kind of weird how all he wants to save is a book. Then the evil scourer comes up and grabs the book from Josh's Hand. At least all but two pages of it. I didn't think much of it. I mean what use are two pages. It turns out the book is full of magic spells and the two pages that Josh saved are the most important ones. I still think that that is kind of random. But kind of cool.

As you can see the Alchemyst is a really cool, action packed, humorous, and suspenseful book. I hope you think so too.
