Blog theme

Since I’m having some trouble deciding what to blog about (and my blog is some what disorganised) I have decided to change the theme of my blog every month of fortnight. Since my blog is call My (narnian) World, I think it would be fitting to begin with the world of Narnia.

If you have any suggestions for theme’s you want, just leave them in the comments section below 🙂

So, let’s step into the magical world of Narnia

Book Report: Gallagher Girls

Gallagher girls is a series written by Ally Carter for girls 12 and up.

I’d Tell You That I Love You, But Then I’d Have To Kill You, is the first book in the series.

Cammie Morgan is a student at Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Young Woman which is typically thought of as a school where rich, bored heiresses go with nothing better to do. Well, their wrong.

It’s really a school for spies.

Even though Cammie is fluent in 14 languages and capable of killing a man with a stick of uncooked spaghetti, she has no idea what to do we she meets a regular boy who thinks she’s just a regular girl. She can tap his phone, hack into his computer or track him through town without him ever being the wiser. But can she be in a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her?

Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy

After Staking out, obtaining, and then being forced to give up her first boyfriend, all Cammie Morgan wants is a peaceful semester. But that’s easier said than done when you’re a CIA legacy and go to a school. . .for spies.

Cammie may have a genius I.Q, but there are still alot of things she doesn’t know. Like will her ex-boyfriend even remember she exists? And how much trouble is she really in after last semester? And most of all, why is her mother acting so strangly?

Despite Cammie’s best intentions to be a normal student, danger seems to follow her. She and her friends learn that their school is going to play host to some mysterious guests – code name: Blackthorne. Then she’s blamed for a security breach that leaves the school’s top secrete status at risk.

Soon Cammie and her friends are crawling through walls and survelling the school to learn the truth about Blackthorne and clear Cammie’s name. Even though they have confidence in their spy skills, this time the targets are tougher. And the stakes for Cammie’s heart, and beloved school, are higher than ever.

Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover

When Cammie Morgan visits her roommate Macey in Boston, she thinks she’s in for an exciting end to her summer. After all, she’s there to watch Macey’s father accept the nomination for vice president. But when you go to the world’s best school (for spies), “exciting” and “deadly” are never far apart. Soon the girls find themselves trapped in a kidnappers’ plot, with only their espionage skills to save them.

Only The Good Spy Young

When Cammie Morgan enrolled at the Gallagher Academy, she knew she was preparing for the dangerous life of a spy. What she didn’t know was that the serious, real-life danger would start during her junior year of high school. But that’s exactly what happened two months ago when Cammie faced off against an ancient terrorist organization dead set on kidnapping her.

Now the danger follows her everywhere, and even Cammie “The Chameleon” can’t hide.  When a terrifying encounter in London reveals that one of her most-trusted allies is actually a rogue double-agent, Cammie no longer knows if she can trust her classmates, her teachers—or even her own heart.

In this fourth installment of the New York Times best-selling series, the Gallagher Girls must hack, spy, steal, and lie their way to the truth as they go searching for answers, recognizing that the key to Cammie’s future may lie deep in the past.

Out Of Sight, Out Of Time 

The last thing Cammie Morgan remembers is leaving Gallagher Academy to protect her friends and family from the Circle of Cavan – and ancient terrorist oragnization that has been hunting her for over a year. But when Cammie wakes up in an alpine convent and discovers that months have passed, she must face the fact that her memory is now a black hole. The only traces left of Cammie’s summer vacation are the bruises on her body and the dirt under her nails, and all she wants to do is to go home.

Once she returns to school, however, Cammie realises that even the Gallagher Academy now holds more questions than answers. Cammie, her friends, and mysterious spy-guy Zach must face their most difficult challenge yet as they travel to the other side of the world, hoping to piece together clues that Cammie left behind. The Circle is hot on their trail and willing to stop at nothing to prevent Cammie from remembering what she did last summer.

It’s a race against time.

I would rate all these books 5/5. They have great plots and characters that you can really relate to.
