Spirit Animals

Spirit Animals is this book that tells you about these four kids that summon Great Beasts. The kids names are Conor, Meilien, Rollan, and Abeke. They are on the Greencloak's side. They are on a mission to get the four Talismans before the Devourer can get them. The Devourer are these people that are riding on top of there Spirit Animals. The other bad guys are the Conquerors. They have Devin Trunswick and Zerrif on there side.




My favorite parts of the story's are in book two. I like when Conor, Meilen, Rollan, and Abeke fight against Devin Trunswick. He bonded with this panther because he did not get a spirit animal at the ceremony. He pretends to be the legend of the north with the panther but actually Finn is.





 

Fireflies

Fireflies glow from the tummy and look like a sunflower shell. When light is given off by living animals it is called bioluminescense. When they blink they talk but we don't know what they are saying it is a secret code. Even know fireflies are called fireflies there are actually beetles. It starts out like an egg then it turns into a glowworm then they turn into a firefly. It glows for defense it tries to say to the predators like toads that he or she is poisonous then the predator does not like it so it goes away. Only two weeks a year do they blink and mate and have babies. The females stay on the ground and the males are in the air, when the female like what she sees she blinks back and the male goes with the female. The males synchronize their blinking.  luciferase lucifiraine and oxygen make light.
