For anyone who hasn't given up following my blog, here is the new address:

It's not as pretty yet, but I will work on it when I can.  Don't give up on me, I've made a few new posts, but the start of school is hectic.

Just an update

I know I am behind in my updates, but I do have a reason (or excuse). The blogspot and blogger sites are blocked at my school. I don't know why, but it is causing me to have to do my updates at home, and I just don't have time when I get home. So, I think I am going to have to move my blog to another site. Stay tuned for updates!

#13 Firestorm (The Caretaker Trilogy, #1) by David Klass

Everything was going great for Jack.  Star of the football team, great girlfriend, good grades.  And then one night, after a game, Jack sees a man pass by him and the man's eyes shine silver.  When he mentions this to his father, everything in Jack's life changes.  Suddenly, his father and mother are not really his father and mother and he is on the run from something he doesn't understand.  After making his way to New York City, he is trapped by a Gorm in a penthouse apartment and barely escapes death.  On the way out of the apartment, he meets a dog who can talk to him telepathically.  The dog joins him as he runs for his life and on the way Jack finds out that he was born 1000 years in the future and sent back in time to save the world.  He is the 'Beacon of Hope' for the people of the future.  The problem is that he must find Firestorm and nobody knows what it is or where it can be found.  This book makes a strong case for protecting the earth's environment and how what we are doing today effects the generations of the future.  But it is well written and keeps you guessing as you go along.
