NOTE!: DOCTOR WHO IS THE NAME OF THE SHOW NOT THE CHARACTER, HIS NAME IS THE DOCTOR NOT DOCTOR WHO!

Doctor Who: Doctor Who is a sci-fi TV show broadcast on BBC America or any other BBC channel. Doctor Who started in 1963 called Classic Doctor Who, or know the Whonivers Classic Who. Due to the fact that doctors 1-8 appear on that show and that they came out with a newer more high-tech version of Classic Who, Doctor Who in 2005. Doctor Who starts out with Christopher Eccleston as the tenth doctor (first episode Rose), then continues on to David Tennant as the tenth doctor (first episode The Christmas Invasion), the youngest doctor yet is Matt Smith who plays the eleventh doctor (first episode The Eleventh Hour). All doctors have a companion 9 had Rose then he regenerated, Rose then stayed with the 10th doctor, but then she "died" from there he was never the same but he still found, Martha, then Donna but sadly he also regenerated and wiped Donna's mind in the process so it wouldn't implode due to too much knowledge, then the 11th doctor had Amy, Rory, and then Clara, from this point on December 25th, 2013 Matt regenerated and now the 12th doctor is Peter Capaldi who still has Clara as a companion. The doctor pick all his companions up with the TARDIS, a time&space traveling box. TARDIS stands for Time And Relevant Demotion In Space. The doctor will always have a signature item such as all the doctors have the sonic screwdriver that can't open wooden doors. But Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Ecclestion, and Tom Baker all had something else, Smith had his bow-ties and fezes, Tennant had his trench coat and modified converse(he calls them his "trainers"), Ecclestion had his black leather jacket, and Baker had a infantry long scarf.

A map of Quill

Eragon

By: Christopher Paolini

Eragon: The first book in the Inheritance Cycle starts when a poor farmer finds a precious stone. He cannot find marketers to buy the stone because they are suspicious of how much its worth. Later one night in his room the stone starts to rock, little did he know it was a dragon egg and the old stories were coming true in his life. The egg hatched and he managed to hide it from his uncle and cousin. Soon strangers came to town speaking of the blue stone (the dragon egg) they tracked him down and while he was gone (flying on his dragon) they destroyed his farm, killed his uncle, and left the village fearing it's safety. He later escaped the village with Brom the old story teller and dragon rider whose dragon died, swearing vengeance.

Eldest: The second book in the Inheritance Cycle and one of the most intense when Murtaugh is kidnapped while Ajihad (the leader of the resistance and Eragon's ally) is killed. Murtaugh is found later in the book attacking the Varden (the resistance) on the evil King Galbatorix's side. But that's not all, Murtaugh is a dragon rider! His dragon's name is Thorn. That is bad news for the Varden, a new dragon rider on Galbatorix's side! Meanwhile Roran is sailing on a ship to join the Varden little did he know Eragon his cousin, was the last free dragon rider.

Brisingr: The thrid book in the Inheritance Cycle when Eragon goes to go train with the elves. Also he meets the other free rider that was hiding in attempt to wait to teach the next rider, their names were Oromis and Gleadr. Oromis teaches Eragon while Gleadr teaches Saphira. they learn lots of magic and skills they never had beforehand. Gleadr and Oromis go into battle against Thorn and Murtaugh and lose. Oromis dies and with him Gleadr but Gleadr survives through his heart of hearts (dragons can continue to live if they transfer their soul into their heart of hearts and that is how Galbatoix gained power, dragons power can be used through their heart).

Inheritance: The last and my personal favorite book on the Inheritance Cycle. The Varden lay siege on Uru'baen (Galbatorix's location and city). Many of the Varden die while Saphira, Eragon, Arya, Gleadr's heart of heart, elva, and other dragon's heart of hearts go to challenge and kill Galbatorix. It seems like the soldiers are fighting a hopeless battle until Roran (Eragon's cousin) kills Galbatorix's army leader Barst. They win but at a high cost. many of their soldiers died but the evil king is dead and they rescued the green dragon egg. The egg hatches to Arya and she becomes queen of the elves as well as a dragon rider. Eragon then leaves Alagaesia to never return.....

Warriors

By: Erin Hunter

Into The Wild: This is the first book in the first warriors series. It starts when a kittypet Rusty joins the ranks of ThunderClan when it desperately needs warriors. Rusty is renamed Firepaw because of his flame colored pelt. He learns to survive and adapt to the Warrior Code. His best friend Graypaw, seems to get into as much trouble as Firepaw in their young age. Ravenpaw a ThunderClan apprentice has just witnessed Tigerclaw, ThunderClan's strongest warrior murder the deputy of his own clan, is it betrayal from withing for Firepaw to stop? There was a prophecy made by StarClan that fire alone can save our clan...is Firepaw the one of the prophecy?

Fire and Ice: Firepaw, now Fireheart has been made a warrior with his friend Graypaw now Graystripe for bravery in battle driving out the evil Brokenstar. RiverClan and ShadowClan soon turn on WindClan, that is begging for ThunderClan's help. ThunderClan joins the battle. Fireheart is being attacked savagely by the RiverClan deputy (second in command) Leapardfur and Tigerclaw sits there and watches his clanmate suffer (he always hated Fireheart for taking the attention from their leader that he always wanted) pure hatred in his eyes. Fireheart then realizes that Ravenpaw wasn't confused about what happened, Tigerclaw has a dangerous ambition, but is Fireheart strong enough to stop it?

Forest of Secrets: Graystripe is disappearing more and more ever since a pretty she-cat rescued him from drowning in her river. One day Fireheart decides to follow him and realizes Graystripe had taken a mate from another clan! Which is one of the worst ways to break the warrior code! His mate, Silverstream dies giving birth to his kits but not without Tigerclaw finding out. Fireheart puts together the puzzle pieces that the great Bluestar leader of ThunderClan had a RiverClan mate Oakheart and had kits. She confessed and didn't blame Graystripe for his mistakes. Tigerclaw was furious.

A Dangerous Path: Tigerclaw led a pack of rogues into ThunderClan camp and attacked Bluestar while the clan was dealing with the rogues. Fireheart saves her just in time and Tigerclaw is banished. Fireheart becomes the new deputy in ThunderClan but his ceremony was not held at moonhigh so it was said that bad things would happen. Tigerclaw was not done yet. He laid a trail of dead rabbits to ThunderClan camp and at the end of the trail was a dead ThunderClan cat, Brindleface. The trail was moved and the put a new trail leading the dogs away from camp. The cost was high though, Bluestar gave her life for the clan she loved....

The Darkest Hour: Fireheart now Firestar, leader of Thunderclan
was shocked to realize Tigerclaw now Tigerstar finally achieved his ambition of being ShadowClan's leader. He brought BloodClan into the forest hoping they would convince them to surrender and let him rule the forest. Little did he know Scourge the BloodClan leader would kill him and declare war on the clans. Scourge killed Firestar but he has the nine lives that a leader of all the Clans got. He killed Scourge causing BloodClan to flee but many warriors died and the clans were weak for many moons (months) to come.

Percy Jackson

Percy Jackson series

http://www.rickriordan.com/home.aspx

The Lightning Thief: The lightning thief is an interesting book for young and old readers. The Lightning thief is a wonderful combination of action, suspense, wonder, and imagination. Combining Ancient Greek myths with the modern world creates an amazing affect considering how they clash at times. There is a shocking affect when one of Percy's 'closest friends' turns on him and spies for the enemy. It breaks the heart of another when she learns he was working for the enemy, shown later to be the enemy's leader for some time and raising The Lord of Time.

The Sea of Monsters: The Sea of Monsters is the second book of The Percy Jackson series. Percy meets his half brother Tyson of who is exceptionally weird. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson go on an illegal quest (a quest that was not given by the oracle) to rescue Grover from an evil cyclopes. Then they encounter The Princess Andromeda (the ship) which houses an army of monsters and Luke the betrayer.

The Titan's Curse: Thalia is introduced in more detail, she is a daughter of Zeus one of the big three. She is nearing her 16th birthday...is it possible she is the one of the prophecy? Percy, Thalia, Zoe, Grover, & Bianca (she is the daughter of Hades and Nico is her younger brother) go on a quest to stop the titan Atlas and save Annabeth. Luke is defeated and thrown off of a gigantic mountain....does he survive?

The Battle of The Labyrinth: Percy and Annabeth stumble upon the labyrinth while playing capture the flag. They soon get a quest to go into the labyrinth to stop Luke from getting Ariadne's string (magical string that can guide it's holder to anyplace in the world through the labyrinth) but Luke gets the string and launches an attack on Camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood wins but with a death. They destroy the labyrinth by the creator dying (the labyrinth is connected to the creator's life force).

The Last Olympian: The Great Prophecy is becoming reality, Olympus is in danger, war is the only answer. Luke (now transformed into Kronos) leads his army of monsters into Manhattan laying siege on Mt. Olympus. Percy and the other demigods have few numbers compared to Lord Kronos's army. They are forced back to the doors of the Empire State Building when Hades comes to their aid. The last battle is between Luke, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Ethan. Luke is killed by his own blade.
