LIAR BY JUSTINE LARBALESTIER

Ok, this book is really getting good and creapy ! I cannot understand why Micah would climb through Zach's window, to be in his bedroom ! Zach is dead, I would be scared out of my mind. She picked up and smelled his clothing and was reading through his sports journal. I understand that she was in love with him, but i think that was a little bit extreme. She seems to be obsessed with him. Now, there is another student missing. Her name is Erin Moncaster, she was a freshman. Micah doesnt recall who she is, but learns that Zach could have been seeing her too. Now that makes her angry, and now she doesnt like Erin, a girl she doesnt even know, but because she might have been involved with Zach, she doesnt like her. But how can she not like her, Zach was Sarah's boyfriend, and she was seeing him. This book is already taking me on a rollercoaster ride. Everyone is showing fear,not knowing what's going to happen next, or who is going to come up missing, has spread fear throughout the school. The girls are talking about carrying pepper spray and the boys are talking about carrying knives. But Micah, for some reason, isnt afraid . Is she just tough or is she hiding something. Everyone took dna tests and shared their results in class except for a few people, and Micah was one of them. She keeps talking about the family illness, I guess we will know what that is in my next blog. See you next week.

I am going to begin this blog by talking about Tayshawn and that he really did not know a lot about death. The teacher Yayeko Shoji, talked about death and how the body decomposes. It really grossed all the students out, but poor Tayshawn just did not know how or what really happens when you die. But after Ms. Shoji talked about it and broke it down , piece by piece not only did Tayshawn understand, but so did I ! Well, enough about that, let's get back to Micah. I tell you, if lying could get her rich, Donald Trump would have nothing on her ! During class one day, the police were at the school interviewing all of the seniors, and it became Micah's turn. Now, we all know that Micah and Zach were secretly seing each other, or at least they thought noone knew, the police took her to the Art room to question her. They had Ms. Shoji there as supervision for the seniors that they questioned. When the police asked Micah if she knew Zach, she said no. Now why would she say she did not know him if she had nothing to hide? She claimed she only knew him from the classes they had together. Now i don't know about you, but that makes me very suspicious of her. If the police are questioning all of the seniors, does she not think that someone might tip off the police that she and Zach were sneaking around with each other after school ? You know, someone like Brandon? Well, i will continue to keep you posted each week, because this book is very interesting now that i got the hang of it. I must not forget that Micah lead everyone to believe that her dad was an arms dealer! The lies just keep coming and growning. Like the old saying says, :Oh what a web we do weave " ! So , i will keep you informed on how everything turns out, see ya next time .

LIAR BY JUSTINE LARBALESTIER

In my last blog i said that i was confused when i was trying to read this book, well, i have a better understanding of this book now. I just could not believe that everyone thought Micah was a boy. Just because her name was Micah, the teacher just assummed she was a boy. I was kind of surprised that Micah played basketball with the boys and noone knew she was girl ! Micah kept up the charade that she was a boy because she was getting attention and she actually felt comfortable being a boy. But she laughed out loud one day and Sarah heard her and exposed her to the rest of the students." You are a girl" Sarah said, and everyone approached Micah and then they knew, yes, this is a girl. Oh well, so much for playing basketball with the boys, because they will never treat her like a boy now. Back to the present, they announced that Zach had been found dead. Brandon points out that Micah was Zach's outside girlfriend, and that Sarah was Zach's at school girlfriend. Sarah keeps asking Micah is that true, but Micah denies it, but eventually, Sarah knows it was true. No one knew about Micah and Zach, at least thats what they thought, but Brandon knew, he had seen them in the park, running, playing, and kissing as if no one else existed. The question is, who killed Zach and why. We will find out once we get through the web of lies and truth. Until next time, i promise to have more on Micah, lie or truth.
