Day 2 ~ Jump Start

Hello Shiny fans,
So today's review is on Jump Start! 

<><>REVIEW<><>
Mini blurb: 
In Jump Start, Shadow are cutting down the rainforest, endangering many innocent animals. It's up to EJ to stop the machines and save the animals.
But at home as Emma, she is having trouble getting the courage to do big jumps on the beam.

What I thought: 
Jump Start was one of Emma's more dangerous missions I'd say, I mean, she's in the Amazon Jungle! The Amazon still has never been fully explored before, new animals still being discovered there. But back to EJ12. 

Her at home problem is very realistic. Iv never done gymnastics (unless you count doing it as a 4 year old) but when my brother did it for a while I got to play around on some equipment, like the beam. If you don't do gymnastics you probaly don't realise how scary jumps would be. I mean, your jumping up on a thin beam where if you jump wrong you'll fall off, or not land correctly and end up, erm, sitting on the beam. So her fear is very understandable to me. On her mission she's sent into the jungle to find where shadow is cutting down trees and stop them. I won't spoil anything but it's worth reading. 

<><><>

That's my Jump Start review done! In the dark tomorrow (which I might add is in my top 5 favourites)!
I'm also designing a new competition for points, so stay tuned, it's gonna be good. And look out for a new collage I sent to the EJ team, you might spot youself!
See you tomorrow

Day 1 ~ Hot & Cold

Hello Agents,
Today I will be reviewing the first book (Hot & Cold) for my Christmas Challenge (post below for details)

<><> REVIEW <><>
MINI BLURB: 
In Hot and Cold EJ is sent to Antartica on a mission to find out who is melting the polar ice caps. Her mission is to find out how, who, why and how to stop it. But Back home as Emma, she is having difficulty deciding if she should go to Nema's party. 

What I thought:
The story is quite interesting and the puzzles good. I think iv read Hot and Cold the most out of all my books, because I was going to make a film with my friends. I'm not exactly sure what to say about this book without spoiling much but I will say that the story did have me guessing. 

Stars: 3/5

<><><><><>

That was a really short review, I promise others will be longer, escpecially my favourite ones ;)
Also with the picture at the very top you may have noticed that Hot & Colds cover is outlined in pink. At the beginning of every review I'll post that picture and outline the book im reviewing in pink and colour red the ones already done. Also is anyone else doing these reviews? Feel free to leave your ideas in the comments

All for now
Jump Start Tomorrow

EJ stuff

Heya agents,
It's holidays where I am! *party starts* but I think some of you may have one more week or two? 

So I was looking back at a post on the ej12 blog from April this year about someone's questions to teh team. I'll be talking about that soon but first...

<><><><><><>My Christmas Challenge<><><><><><>
<>                                                                                         <>
<>In the days leading up to Christmas (starting today)    <>
<>you read one ej12 book every day (or two days, your   <>
<>choice) so by Christmas you have read the whole        <>
<>series. If you don't own the whole series you can         <>
<>just read what you have!                                                    <>
<><><><><><>Merry Christmas<><><><><><><><>

So feel free to do that challenge if you like. I'm going a little farther and trying to do a review every day! So stay tuned for those reviews! And if your an EJ blogger then feel free to also do the reviews and post them on your blogs, if you like. You could even copy and paste the little info thingy above in bold.

Now to the question thing. This is what it said and I'll put extra notes below in italics.

1. When will EJ TV come out? It’s OK if you don’t know.

The producers are only just starting to work on it but they think 2016 (it takes a while to make 26 episodes!)

CL14: 2016 is just over a year away! Not too long to wait! I'll be turning 15 O.O but I'm still liking EJ12 now so hopefully I will then.


2. What channel will EJ TV come out on? Will it be foxtel? ( i’m not aloud foxtel!)

It’s too early to say for sure but we hope both free to air and pay-TV

CL14: that's good, I personally have free tv and many of us do.


3. Will the people who got their name in a book be in the cartoon?

Not necessarily (sorry!) – Susannah will be working with the TV writers as the stories will change a bit (and have more added) for the TV – we think it will be really exciting to see how EJ changes for TV – but, of course, she will still be out EJ!

CL14: good thing here is that Susannah will be working with the writers! Iv seen films where the author doesn't work with the directors, so they film makers can do whatever they like, and the film ends up TERRIBLE. But Susannah's working with them so it's ok!


4. Will the cartoon be based on the books?

Yes but there will be more missions and other new things too!

CL14: this open is confusing if you think deeply about it. Does it mean the tv show will be based off a books mission? I don't think so because they said 26 episodes so maybe new missions? I really hope they will use the same shadow agents in the show. It's all so exciting! Congrats Susannah though.


5. Will there be movies of EJ12?

How cool would that be! There are no plans yet but you never know!

CL14: heaps of people say this would be cool. I wouldn't be surprised if after the shows first season of something they make an EJ12 film. Imagine that, EJ12: the Movie. Would be really cool.


<><><>


Thats all for now! But make sure to tune in the following days for reviews! Also new shining star competitions! Remember that at Christmas the winner will receive a virtual certificate and get into the shining stars hall of fame! So far HH14 is in the lead, but can anyone beat her?

Keyboard code (part 2)

Hello,
Here's part 2 of the keyboard code! 

This part is about how to do numbers in this code.
For numbers you need to make dots at each point, just so it's more obvious.
Below is the number 12 and then 14

But those are easy numbers. If you have a longer number, say 279, you just have to make more dots and lines if you get what I mean.

But if it's a number tagt doubles back like below
You just have to do like how I have. The number above is 156051

I might post some codes later using this for shining star points, which the winner will be announced about mid December. 
So for now, here's a mini Comp worth points if you answer correctly.

<><><>
1. I have brown eyes
2. My hair is short
3. My eyes match my hair
4. I am short
5. My hair is dark brown
<><><>
1 & 2 are both true for two
3 & 4 are confusing
5 limited the options
<><><>

Q. Which ej12 character am I?
a) Eve
B) emma
C) hannah
D) Isi
E) CC12
F) KM12
G) elle

<><><>

Good luck, if you think hard enough about it you will think of the correct answer

Keyboard code (part 1)

Hello fellow agents,
While at school I was thinking of codes with my friend (SB14) and made up this cool code using the keyboard. I'm trying to think of a better name than keyboard code, because that's probally already a thing. But let me explain it. 

So first off you get the ipad/iPhone keyboard like below
And how you make a word is like this. You start on the first letter of the word and draw lines from letter to letter. For example I made CL, my initials 
There's no way to tell where to start but you can work that out by turning the word backwards or so on. When you do longer words, you need to make it very clear which key you are making the letter on. 

Now I made the word Emma below
But because there's 2 M's you make a dot on the key like so. That way the receiver knows to write down 2 M's, not one. 

What do you guys think? 

Because I use my iPad a lot I have sort of memorised it without looking at it (I type a lot) and realised you can write the words without being on a keyboard, by matching it up. 

That's probally a bit confusing but I hope it's cool 
Also on the EJ12 Fan book website (check post below for details) iv added part of MB14's Spied out. Feel free to review the stories in the comments.
Part 2 with numbers coming soon
