This book is one of the books that Stephen King wrote, its ISBN is 0-340-73890-1 and was first published by Hodder and Stoughton.
I found this book quite enjoyable, as I kept turning the pages and the story starts off with three eleven year old kids and their names are Bobby Garfield, Carol Gerber, and Sully John.
The story to begin with is set in Harwich Connecticut back in the sixties, and it also about people who come from another planet: as one of these people is a man named Theodore Brautigan.
Theodore mysterously turns up and as it turns out he is on the run from low men in yellow coats. As they are looking for him because he is known to them as a breaker.
He also becomes somewhat of a father figure to Bobby Garfield, and I enjoyed reading about how their relationship develops.
But Brautigan gets captured and is taken back to his planet and Bobby and his mother Liz move out of the area. Though it didn’t end there as it still followed the lives of Bobby, Carol, and Sully John and the people who were around them.

Arthur and the InvisiblesPosted on January 29th, 2007 @ 7:46 am
I watched this movie with my eldest nephew and we really enjoyed it: I liked it so much that I felt sorry that I didn’t get the book when I first saw it.
It is about a boy named Arthur who is a inventor like his grandfather. But his grandfather is missing as he went away to find his hidden treasure, as Arthur’s grandparents had a debt to pay.
Then what made the movie interesting for me is that it started off with acting from real actors and actresses, and when Arthur went to find the Invisibles, and the treasure the movie then switched over to animation.

Ranger’s Apprentice: The Burning BridgePosted on January 9th, 2007 @ 10:15 am
This is the second book in the Ranger’s Apprentice Series that John Flanagan wrote, and its ISBN is 9 781741 660906 and 1-74166-090-4 and it is also published by Random House Australia, and this story is set shortly after Will had killed the remaining Kalkara with a blazing arrow. Also what would you do if you knew someone saved peoples lives by doing something spectacular, and what was unexpected of him then for some unknown reason find this person lacking in confidence? Would you send the person away on a mission to Celtica with another King’s Ranger called Gilan who is closer to his age and a warrior apprentice named Horace who you know is this person’s friend?
Then upon finding out something that you thought your King should know, would you decide to go ahead on your own so you could deliver the message as quick as possible leaving this person who you knew lacked confidence in charge with parting words on how to be like a leader that anyone would follow? Well, that’s exactly what Halt and Gilan did with Will though Gilan wasn’t counting on Will, Horace, and Evanlyn having to hide from a group of Wargals who were marching a gang of slaves. This story is also another example of how Will’s training takes over, as he then decides to follow the Wargals and this was because he knew that they were yet to find out what was happening as they heard some fishy things from Evanlyn, and in making the decision to follow the Wargals Will, Horace, and Evanlyn discover why the Wargals needed slaves. Will’s role in the story also plays a major part in the demise of Morgarath.
