__Circles in the Streams__ Rachel Roberts pages 1 - 47 1\26\11

In chapter one, Emily has to help a cat that is very badly burned. Next, Emily sleeps with the cat until he is mostly healed. She takes the dogs at the shelter for a walk and two dogs get loose. She follows them into the woods that are said to be haunted. Emily finds the dogs and a field with purple striped deer and flowers of every color. After that, a giant, winged beast came down and tried to attak Emily, but a mist wolf came and saved her. Emily ran home and tried to find information about the woods she was in, but didn't succeed.

Emily has a dream and remembers picking up a rock. She feels her pocket and finds the rock all smooth. Emily goes back to the forest to look for answers. As she is walking, the whole scene is different. There are no magical flowers or odd colored deer. She keeps walking and sees a house. She thinks it is the care taker's house and the windows seem to watch her like eyes. Soon after she sees the house she hears a cry.

The main character is Emily. She has a //“// magic touch //”// with animals. She somehow helps them heal, and helps them calm down if they are scared. She is the new girl and she is going to start school in a couple of weeks. She doesn’t feel comfortable with other kids her age, but she feels comfortable with any kind of animal. Her mom is a veterinarian, and she owns her own animal hospital. Emily helps a lot around the hospital, and she loves to play with the sick or boarded animals.

So far, this book is very interesting. It is very different from what I thought it would be. I thought that they would live in a place where everything is about magic. Then one day a girl would get transported there and not know anything about magic. Then some big bad guy would come and it turns out that the girl is the chosen one. In the end she would save everyone and go back to her home.

Lindsay, great entry! -Miss Bond

Emily find Adriane crouched over something. Finally, Emily looks to see an animal that looks like a ferret, but the animal can talk. Emily and Adriane take the “ferret” to Emily’s mom. The “ferret” keeps talking and it won’t stop. Emily’s mom went to set the “ferret’s” leg, but it had already healed its self.

Emily and Adriane go back to the reserve go to Adriane’s house. They talked to Adriane’s Grandmother about the town wanting to shut down the reserve. After that they go to Adriane’s room. Emily is amazed at cool Adriane’s room is.

Adriane is a girl about Emily’s age. Adriane has no friends and she doesn’t believe in them. She lives on the reserve with her Gran. Her Gran is the caretaker of the reserve. Adriane can speak mentally with a mist wolf.

This book is very interesting. When you think you know what is going on the book changes. This is one of the books that are very hard to put down. This book is part mystery and part adventure.

Emily and Adriane are talking about music and “Ozzie” (the Ferret) thinks that music is the “magic” in this world. After a while Emily notices the dream catchers on Adriane’s ceiling. Adriane and Emily decide to make matching bracelets to hold their stones. Emily & Adriane decide to meet back in the woods the next day. Emily wakes up and gets ready to go to Adriane’s house. She does all of her chores and waits impatiently for breakfast to be done.

Adriane & Emily look at a map of the reserve and decide to take the north quadren and hike down to the Rocking Stone. As they walk they abrubtly stop as a herd of some kind of deer runs past them, but they wern't deer and Ozzie tells Adriane & emily that they are called jeeren.as the walk further they realize that they are covered in little sparkly gems. Ozzie smells the flowers and says that they are magic. They follow the trail and see hunters, but they also see a big furry purple panda like animal sitting budda like and unmoving.

Ozzie was (and sorta still is) an elf. He was put in a portal by the farmentals. he was put in there to find 3 mages. he thinks that the mages are Emily and Adriane, but he needs one more person. Ozzie still needs to find a way home, but he needs to open a portal. Supprisingly the only way to open a portal is to have the 3 mages open the portal.

I want to know more about the world that Ozzie is from. In the book it says that he is really an elf, that there are "deer" there that have green stripes and long ears called Jeeren. there are pegasi that are winged horses that are wild and not easily tamed. that there are quiffles that are silver duck-like animalsthat live in the lakes and wetlands of Aldenmor. They are intelligent and fun-loving withstrong family bonds. they are loyal allies with other good animals of Aldenmor.

The purple bear gets up and starts walking and everybody starts following even some weird animals. As the bear sits and all the animals wait outside the clearing. Finally something happens and all the animals come forward eagerly but still looking frightened and looking around as if something was going to fly down and attach them. **
