  So, currently I am reading The Bridge to Never Land by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It's It's the fifth book in the series and a very surprising read. I waited awhile to start it, simply because no library had the book and I never just buy the fifth book in a series. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS SERIES AND PLAN TO DO NOT READ THIS BLOG, THERE ARE SPOILERS! The fourth book ended with Peter and Molly going separate ways and having all the readers who were rooting for them to get together stop and freeze,  like this quote I was reading from Rick Riordan:

“To my wonderful readers:
Sorry about that last cliff-hanger.
Well, no, not really. HAHAHAHA.
But seriously, I love you guys.”
― Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

See, I picture authors who end books with a cliffhanger like that, just sitting around their house trying to finish a book, and then getting a brainstorm, ending the book on a cliffhanger, and then rolling on the floor laughing at all the suckers who read their last book and read about their favorite characters and then finished the book with "And then the floor fell through and the world was plunged into blackness." If authors end books that way, then they need to read their series again and feel all that emotional trauma that goes through ending on a cliffhanger.
But, I'm getting off topic. My book is really good. It's like one of those secret spy on the run kind of books, like Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol.

See, these kids have read the Peter and the Starcatcher's series and they didn't think that the stories were real, like everyone else. This series is really eye-opening about the police and the FBI, and I don't know if this book's information is true, but in the book, the two kids run away and the FBI and the police force are looking for missing kids. What really stood out to me is that the kids are trying to explain what they're doing with this guy who's helping them, and all the FBI cares about is getting them away from him. And then later, when another guy points out, that for kidnapped kids, they sure look cooperative. Neither law-enforcement listens to the kids and that kind of opens your eyes to maybe what really goes on in the real world.

Before I finish this post, one funny thought for Friday, because Friday's are awesome and football games are fabulous (even if you don't understand the game).
