Our book report book is due sometime next year so I decided to plan ahead and picked out a book. The book is called ‘Superior Saturday’ and it is the sixth book in the series. The first five books are also named after days of the week.
-Mister Monday
-Lord Tuesday
-Drowned Wednesday
-Sir Thursday
-Lady Friday
-and the current Superior Saturday
I started reading these books in 6th grade at south view middle school when the first one was released. From 2003 onward there is about one released per year, the one I am reading was released only a few days ago.
The books closely follow the life of Arthur Penhaligon, an average mortal who is destined to be ‘the chosen one’ and save the universe. The plot thus far follows the hero quest mono-myth pattern very closely, the hero (Arthur) is born in supernatural circumstances, he is unwilling to accept the power at first, and is also given many amulets to aid him in his journey. The next book is the last of the series and will probably be the best. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys the science-fiction genre. Next week I will actually give a plot summary, be prepared.

I'm prepared, Fin! What I really like, however, is seeing you apply the things we discuss in class to your own reading outside of school. Great!
