Independent reading The Land of Stories book 5-An Author’s Odyssey

Ended page 408

Connor and Alex have gone through all of Connor’s stories and they want the characters from these stories to help them with fighting the masked man. Unfortunately, they faced some trouble when finding the characters a place to stay. Charlotte, Conner’s mom, has to work which means she can’t look after the characters.  They came up with an idea of putting them in the hospital, but they had to come up with an excuse of why the characters are dressed they way they are. Conner and Alex eventually came up with a idea of saying they are putting up a play for the Children’s hospital. The play ended well and it put smiles on the children’s faces.  Now Conner and Alex along with the characters have to go back to fairy tale world and face the Masked Man.

I like how this book is split into small little sections. The main characters Conner and Alex are traveling into books Conner wrote. Each time they travel to a different book, it’s like a different section. Right now Conner and Alex have went into all the stories and found extra heros to help them fight the Masked Man. Unfortunately, Emmerich one of their school friends is the Masked man’s son. He didn’t realize it but he was actually leading the Masked Man to what he wanted. The Masked Man convinced Emmerich by telling him that he was his dad and also Alex and Conner’s uncle.  As readers, we don’t know what the Masked Man wants which is why it is interesting.

The Land of Stories book 5 An Author’s Odyssey 11/23

I think it was interesting that the main character Conner wrote a fictional story and he thought it was completely made up. In reality, it was a situation that actually happened to him and his sister Alex when they were young. This made Alex realize her mistake and she learned she should support her brother more. Her brother Conner is really talented in writing but her and her teacher didn’t realize because Alex was so smart in school and completely covered up Conner.  The moral of this part of the story was you should believe in yourself and everything you do.
