The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme: The Floating Island. Pages read: 332

The ship that Ven was Inspecting was blown up by Ven when he was trying to blow up the Fire Pirates, which are ruthless pirates that never leave their victims alive. They both got blown up and Ven almost drowned but a mermaid like person called a merrow saved him. Her name was Amariel. She kept him alive by finding him water to drink and telling him stories. An albatross was spotted by a ship named the Serelinda because the albatross was following him and circling his life boat. The Serelinda's captain Oliver took him on board and sailed him to an island named Serendair. He made a friend named Char who was the cook's assistant. You can guess why they call him Char. Just before they got there, the Floating Island appeared! Ven got to go on the island and if you take anything, the island will be unbalanced. They got to go to the middle of the island and the captain took some water from the middle of the mountain that was really rare called the Life Water. He put it in a diamond vial and poured out some blue water that was as rare as the Life Water and just as hard to find. So he traded with the mountain and it wasn't unbalanced. When they got to Serendair, Ven and Char stayed in Oliver's wife's inn where kids with nowhere else to go stay. He also had to take the Life Water to his wife. There was an evil around the inn that Ven, Char, and their new friends Clemency, who is a curate-in-training, Ida, who pickpockets people without them knowing and she's not very nice, and Saeli, who rarely speaks in words and usually speaks in flowers since she can make them grow. They were able to get rid of the evil and save everyone. Ven also got a job with the king as his Royal Reporter since the king liked him, believed him, and didn't want him in jail while he was gone.

I am now going to read the next book all over the weekend. It looks really cool. My friend was right: these are good books!
