They learned more about the culture of djnns. They tumbled themselves into an adventure and ended up into a conflict that they have to solve. They know that someone is searching for them and there is an evil force. At last, they discovered that the evil force was Akenaten, an evil djnn that had been forgotten long into the past! With the power of the ultimate 40 djnns, they had overcome the evil djnn's extreme power and destroy him forever!

The Vampire War - Triology (SCDT)

    This is a book that fascinates me a lot. I had read this book twice! This book talks about the war between the vampires and the vampanezes. The war was lead by two leaders, the Vampire Princes and the Vampaneze Lord! This war is called the War of Scars. Legend says that this war was made up by a powerful person named Mr. Tiny because he has such very powerful abilities. He made up all the charaters he wants to. This war was lead by two people who were very close friends, Darren and Steve. As Darren turned into a vampire, which he doesn't want to, Steve got jealous because he didn't get to and thought that Darren was tricking him. Steve then turned himself into a vampaneze which kills people as he feeds himself from the blood. The war is very intensifying, check it out!!! You would want to reread it as you finished it like me!

BOOK REVIEW
          This book talks about an adventure of a boy name Rowan of the Bukshah. Rowan himself is a weak, timid boy. He is a fearful boy, he fears almost everything. However, that does not change his destiny. In the first book of the series, Rowan was the same weak boy but he was the one who led the party from the bottom of the forbidden Mountain to the top and back home. Legend says that no one had came back from it, however, he did. In this book, he faced a bigger problem that he has to solve it himself. His big family of Rin was put to sleep but not him, he does not know why. He did not know what is waiting for him ahead. With the help of the Travelers and Sheba's rhyme, he uncovered the real enemy of the past that was just going to complete an evil circle. Allun, the baker, brought the Mountain berries to the village of Rin from the journey up to the mountain. The fruit was very delicious and the scent was gorgeous, but the villagers of Rin have no idea that the scent of this plant is putting them into their sleep and what is growing underneath it, which was an evil creature of the night. This creature hides from the harsh environment of the Mountain but not the fertile soil and the suitable surroundings of Rin. Using his own intelligence and Sheba's rhyme along with the help of the Travelers, he saved the village and Zeel, the adopted daughter of the Travelers. From this incident, the friendship of the Travelers and the people of Rin is lock tighter. Everyone was very cheerful as they can get back to their normal lives. Check this book out, it is very good!
