Alternate title
The book I'm choosing an alternate title for is "Keeping the Moon." I'm changing it to "Us against Them" because the book has nothing to do with keeping the moon so the title is irrelevant. I'm changing it to my title because in the book Collie gets a job as a waitress and she mentions that it's like a fight, us is her and the staff, and them is the people that they serve. It's also very hard being a waitress and dealing with the customers.
alternate title
son of posiedon i have chosen this title because percy is a demigod that mean he is a half god half human and is father is a sea god which is posiedon

Review
Kate Saunders' book "The Little Secret" was very exciting. It is kinda like a fantasy story. This girl (Jane) makes best friends with the new girl (Staffa), who is very old fashioned, skinny and pale. Staffa invites Jane to meet her mother after they become very close. It is only then that Jane realises how strange Staffa and her mother are, she also notices a box that is very protected between them and becomes curious, especially after Staffa's mum tells her the box can never be opened. As the girls grow closer and closer, Staffa invites Jane to come to a visit in her country with her. Jane agrees after realising this would be her only travelling opportunity as her family is poor. Jane and Staffa walk and walk and walk until they reach this field of grass. Staffa lays the box down and opens it. She then pushes a ring into Jane's finger and tell her that she cannot take it out when she's in Staffa's country. As the ring is pushed in, Jane cries out in pain and shrinks together with Staffa. They go inside the box, which as they go in, Jane finds out it's Staffa's country and everyone in her country is immortal. She then meets Staffa's brother and while eating dinner, the enemies start firing things into the castle. She freaks out but Staffa tells her to stop or her mum will get really mad. As she stays longer and longer, she gets used to the castle and enjoys staying there. Until Staffa's brother gets captured..... Jane finds out that she's the only one that can save him, and their country, by riding a giant bumble bee to save him. In the end Jane is able to return home.

........Ben has a blood disease he found out that he will die within a year. Ben doesn't want to tell anybody because he afraid that everyone will worry for him. Instead, he's chosen forego treatment instead of sick and bald from the treatment that would buy him only a few more months. This is a good decision even though it's selfish and hurting the people around him, but it's better to challenge your last year of living on something that are more important in your life, and to make it memorable.
Beside from his sickness, he's a normal kid in school and he has his own privacy life, too. Every night, he imagined talking to Jesus and taking advice from Him. But he has a very special name for Jesus which is "Hey-Soos", in Spanish is spelled Jesus. After every long and tire ding day, he always have his short conversation with Hey-Soos.
Ben is still got he eyes on Dallas, a girl whose pretty mystery but once everybody get to know her, she's really kind. Dallas started to notice Ben as well. One night, Dallas invited Ben to her house, that is when they both getting to know more about each other. And finally, they fell in love. But Ben was very worried, because he afraid that he will hurt Dallas's felling if she knows that Ben will be gone soon. But he still decides to be quiet and wait. Then, after that, Ben and Dallas get closer and closer to each other. Dallas started to trust in Ben and think that he is a trustworthy and she can definitely trust him. But, it's not as easy as that sound Dallas is not just any simple girl in school and has the same life as anyone else. She is a mother. She has a baby boy who name is Joe Henry. He's a 5-year-old-boy who's really sweet and really obsesses with baseball. She doesn't want to tell Ben yet, because somehow she afraid that would hurt his feeling. But she had to. She decided to be quiet and let Ben find out about that by him. But no longer after that, Ben found out, it's hardly to hide it from Ben becuase Joe Henry is always at home.After a day that Ben spent in Dallas's house, he saw Joe Henry. But Ben wasn't really shocking, he was totally understood . When Ben asked what happen, Dallas told him everything. She was pregnant at age 13, and was totally abused by her own uncle. It's unbelievable, but it's the truth. Surprisingly, Ben love Joe Henry even more. After a few months of peaceful life, he even forgot that he has blood disease, but what Ben did notice that a year almost up, that also mean that he's going to die soon. He decided to tell Cody, his parents and friends and his Coach, who's a very close friend with him and most importantly, Dallas. They all know that they shouldn't mad at Ben when he will die in a few months,especially Dallas. She was the last person that Ben saw before he died, she was the only one who was caring for him in his last few weeks after the past away. Before he died, he had achieved everything that was meaning the most to him: Dallas, his scholarship, happiness family, Cody
Overall, I think this book has taught me a lesson that I can not give up when I can't find an option, there are always people around me that can go find them any time if I need help, especially family.
Ben Wolf is the best character that I've ever seen in every book that I've read so far becasue he always sacrifice for someone else rather than himself and also always trying to protect everybody even though the people that alwyas bully and sabotage him. Like Sooner Cowans one of his friend in the football team, who was very mean and try everything just to kick Ben out of the team but Ben still help him with his studying and help him to get his scholarship.
I love this book !! :))
