Planet Nine?

Adventure Van here with a blog about Planet Nine, the mysterious hypothesized planet that recently began to not exist. It's been a popular theory for a long time that there is an extra planet in our solar system that is the reasoning behind orbits in the Kuiper belt, but new theories are coming forth which are involving the potential of a large ice disk instead of an actual planet causing the shifts in gravity. Obviously, anything is possible because they are both still theories, however, an ice disk is sadly much more possible and plausible then an impossible to find planet. Still hoping for the best.

The Ebola epidemic has been been a widespread panic and cause of death across the world, but due to some recent breakthroughs, the fatality rate can be dropped by as much as from 70% to 29%!

Flight Book Report

Adventure Van here with a blog on Flight by Sherman Alexie. Flight is a book about an indigenous foster kid named Zits who goes through several traumatic experiences across time before finally returning to his actual time. After being manipulated by a kid named Justice, he makes a very dangerous decision due to his feelings of prejudice towards both his own race and others. However, after this results in his 'death', he instead begins jumping from person to person who had a role in the attacks and war that the united states of america waged against native american Indians. It's a very informative, heart wrenching yet somewhat enjoyable book. Honestly, it's still very relevant about our treatment of everyone whom isn't Caucasian.

Maximum Ride Book Report

Maximum Ride is a graphic novel done by James Patterson about a small group of teenagers and younger kids with wings and other powers who are on the run from a secret shadowy organization. That seems to be quite a common theme in young adult books, for some strange reason. It was somewhat interesting, but also just a bit normal. It didn't really have any interesting plot from what I could tell in the first book, except for a twist at the very end that still didn't add much of a sidestep. However, the art style was decent and had a good amount of detail, so I really enjoyed the art more then the actual story. It isn't something I'd recommend to anyone in particular.

Adventure Van, slightly let down.

Zoo (Book Report)

Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about Zoo, a graphic novel written by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge, drawn by Andy MacDonald. It's an interesting book with a disturbing idea of the apocalypse and how mankind and governments would likely fail at changing the outcome successfully. The main character, Oz, is a biologist who is utterly ignored multiple times by the government in his several years of speaking about HAC, Human Animal Conflict. At the start of the book, however, the thing he has been warning about comes to reality, and mammals across the world become much, more aggressive. The largest threat to salvation, however, isn't the incoming attacks, but government and bureaucracy. Time and time again, Oz is held up or ignored by government officials, and even after his bandage to the problem is instated, it is almost immediately broken by those in power anyway. It's a well done novel that accurately shows how most scientific problems are ignored by those who benefit from ignoring it.
