The Brawlers is either Seekers or Warriors by Erin Hunter, but I don't know about The Unfortunate Stones.
ReplyDeleteI thought that one would be the twilight saga. The description fits.
ReplyDeleteThe Twilight Sega Is In The First Book.
DeleteThe Brawlers is definitely the Warriors Saga by Erin Hunter. Description matches perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt is trust me
DeleteWhat's the whole thing about Armstrong in brackets. It sounds like a load of gibberish to me....?
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous (3/10/11 9:21).
ReplyDeleteSince he reference himself this could be construed as being narcissistic.
No one knows what The Unfortunate Stones is! All the rest of the books were very obvious...
ReplyDeleteThe Unfortunate Stones---> The Unfortunate Events
ReplyDelete[The series of unfortunate events]
...that's just a guess by the way...
Anyone discover what The Unfortunate Stones book really is?
ReplyDeletethe unfortunate stones = the unfortunate events (i think)
ReplyDeleteThe Armstrong thing is because Ride in Maximum Ride supposedly comes from the astronaut Sally Ride, so the parody is Armstrong (from Neil Armstrong).
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you were to Armstrong-ify the numbers 1 through 80, they would go:
ReplyDelete1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 64.
At least I think...
I think "Unfortunate Stones" might be "the Lovely Bones." The story doesn't match so well but the title does...who knows?
ReplyDeleteThe Unfortunate Stones is, in my opinion, the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket... the Lovely Bones does fit the title better, but the story is most like the Unfortunate Events.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I got the musicians easily enough and maximum ride but was pretty lost on the others :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that the unfortunate stones is a series of unfortunate events.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ^ Anonymous, I thought Unfortunate Stones was Series of Unfortunate Events... maybe not....
ReplyDeleteI would assume it's the series of unfortunate events. It says it references 'theatrics'. Remember when Olaf forced Violet to marry him in a play?
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteThe Brawlers is supposed to be Warriors? I LOVE that series....by the way, this is all really helpful! I would never have guessed some of the parodies!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why James Patterson chose to do a parody of his own series.......Is he just acting conceited, or what?
ReplyDeleteThe Unfortunate Stones is the Unfortunate Events.
ReplyDeleteIm not sure anyway this was soooo helpful thank you so much! Also your first one
ReplyDeletemaybe the unfortunate stones is the series of unfortunate events?
