"I realized something - she was worse than Myrtle!"

 Pitch is somewhere in my house. *Peers under the bed.* I've been having dreams were spiders will be creeping up my bed, coming right to sit on my head. I can see it in their beady eyes. I can be sleeping peacefully, then I will see them, and leap out of bed. And this is how I discovered I am a Ninja.
 Don't believe me?
 My bed is a bunk bed. With low hanging boards - as I am on the bottom half for the time being. There is plywood over the back of the top bunk, a thin canopy which can easily be pulled down if I'm not careful over the top of the bed. And usually I rest my computer near the foot, on the floor. Beside me I always have a pile of books. So, as you can see, I'm pretty well hemmed in and am always cracking my head when I move about in the day. However, when I see the spiders coming, I can leap out of bed and, with my eyes closed, hurl myself in between the boards, books, canopy, plywood, and computer without knocking, pulling down, or cracking anything. And I do this head first.
 You doubt my Ninja powers? Throw a spider at me and see what I can do.

 Okay, my amazing Ninja abilities aside. Time for a review.

 This shall be the book review of Empire of Ruins, Book Three in The Hunchback Assignments.


 I cannot do a long review on these books without spoiling things from the first two, so this shall be more of a , YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK, review. This book is so far my favourite out of the series, though four might pass it.
 This was, again, another fast paced adventure one my enjoy on a summer's day. It takes place mainly in Australia, deep in the jungle. (And, best part, it has airships!) It is more of a treasure hunt kind of story, a race against the bad guys to see who will get their first.
 Modo begins to grow up in this story. He questions orders which go against what he believes to be right and makes a decision which costs him something he has always longed for. Also, Mr. Slade again pulls his character changing trick. In the second book he had me liking, by the end of the book, a woman I thought I wouldn't be able to stand. In the end of this book, it was the opposite. I felt very betrayed by one of the characters and was in complete shock over what he did. I can only hope he somehow wins my trust back in book four.
 Because this book is fast paced, Mr. Slade kind of skims over the more dull bits. I didn't mind this too much, because I don't like boring parts in books, but it felt a little too fast in some places. I again felt like this was placed in the wrong age group. I still think a child would enjoy this much more then a young adult. But, that aside, I'm not saying young adults SHOULDN'T read it, because if they do skip this series they will be missing out on a grand adventure. I just think children should know of these books as well.

 Something else I liked about this book was Tavia. I really admired her in one part, but then later she had to go and confuse me. She can be a very confusing character at times, which is one of the reasons I like her so much.

 Now, I am going to sleep because my nighttime Ninja jumping has rather worn me out. Also, I finished reading my book, for the last time (I hope.) Once the last of the pictures are added, it will be ready. (I hope.)

 Quote is from Mothstorm, wherein Art meets someone who sings worse then his sister. I didn't think it possible - and nor did he.

 Allons-y!
