What is the Midnighters?
A book series.
But, in a way, a whole lot more.
To explain this book series, maybe I should ask a different question:
What is midnight?
The moment that night turns to morning, correct?
Correct. And incorrect. Its more than a moment. It's longer than that. It's a whole hour. To the midnighters, at least.
You see, a long time ago, hundreds of years ago, there were 13 hours in a day.
You still with me?
Sure, 13 hours would cool. Except for one liiiiiitle thing. Actualy, things.
Darklings.
Darklings were these creatures. They knew your worst nightmares, the things you were most scared of.
And they made those nightmares a reality.
Well, not really. But they could morph into just about anything, if your nightmare was a creature.
And if it wasn't, and they touched you, they'd put things into your head.
They hunted humans. Until technology took place. Then humans could defend themselves.
The darklings got scared. So they squeezed one hour, the thirteenth one, into a moment. It passed by normal people, daylighters, in a moment. But the people who were born at the EXCACT moment of midnight experienced the secret hour. The blue time.
Why is it called the blue time? Because another moon rises, a blue moon.
The blue time takes place in Bixby, Oklahoma. Why just Bixby? We don't know. There may be another place or two, but the midnighters only know of Bixby.
Darklings are terrified of a couple things: the numbers 13, 39, and iron. It has to be clean iron, though. Never touched by anything inhuman. If you whisper a 13-letter word -a tridecalogism; also a thirteen letter word- to a piece of clean iron, it becomes a weapon to the darklings.
Now, on to the midnighters.
Rex. Seer. That's his talent. All of the midnighters have talents. His is that he can see where midnight touch objects, making them focused so he doesn't need his glasses. And he can read the lore, a place with symbols written by other seers. The symbols tell the story of midnight.
Mellisa. Mindcaster. She can read minds. Manipulate minds. And taste feelings. Sounds cool? Well, actualy, it majorly sucks. Escpecialy in crowded areas, like school. She always has headphones on during daylight to drown out the mind noise.
Dess. Polymath. She is very very very good at math. Which comes in very handy durning midnight, as darklings are terrified of math.
Jonathan. Acrobat. When the blue time comes, most of his gravity goes away, allowing him to fly. AND, if he touches anyone during the blue hour, his light gravity goes into the person whose hand he is holding, so they can both fly around. Well, bot really fly. More like huge, weightless jumps.
Jessica. Her talent? Well, that would ruin the first Midnighters book, The Secret Hour.
So, you intrested yet?
Oh, and one more thing. Jessica justed moved to Bixby, Oklahoma (count em, 13 words). But when she gets there, the Darklings go crazy. They are scared of Jessica.
But why?
Thanks True-Midnight.co.nr for this spiffy graphic. :)
The Midnighters is written by Scott Westerfeld.

Sorry i havn't posted in awhile... i DO have a life (that comment was pointed straight at ya, Arika!)!
I spent last night with my BFFs.sooo fun! and 2day we went SHOPPING!!! I nbought a new swimsuit, a pillow that u can attach ur iPod to and music will come from it, a pair of socks, green flip flops, and color hair spray (which I have to return cos I bought an opened one- oops! how blonde of me!).
I only have $2 right now. *sigh*
*Courtnee*
PS. Arika: I don't post too often because I HAVE A LIFE!!!. and I can post clips if I want to! I'd actualy be glad if you stopped reading my blog. I don't want you telling me how to run my blog.
Does this make you want to keep reading the book?
“You have two minuets! If you’re not out by then, mark my words, you’re going to be very unhappy!” I yelled through the bathroom door.
Another song I can also relate to (the chorus, at least)
... And here's a poem I like, found it on
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/4621/poems/121100/confusion.html
Confusion
So many questions
So little time
Sometimes I ask
Am I losing my mind?
So many decisions
I know I can't make
So much critisism
I simply just can't take
I can't please everyone
Though I will always try
Sometimes I get discouraged
But I don't know why
I hate all the pressures
That are brought upon me
To many decisions
Then I'd rather there be
I just can't stand it
Don't know what to do
To feel what I feel
If only you knew
I'm not looking for sympathy
I just wish it would end
But I feel it's a battle
That I'll never win.
And another one...
Nothing Girl
by Christelle Duvenage
Maybe I wear baggies
and white socks with flip-flops,
maybe I don't like listening to rave
and I'm not on the social mountaintops,
maybe I don't care about the things
that make your worlds twirl,
maybe you look at me and think:
Gee, what a nothing girl.
Maybe I like giving smiles
which seems to be a sin today,
and maybe I allow my imagination
to sometimes run away,
maybe you don't understand this
and that's why you cannot see,
if this make me a nothing girl,
hey, that's ok with me!
The world makes you believe
your personality mustn't be detected,
your face must be picture perfect
and wear cloths just the best, to be accepted.
Maybe I look at you
and feel sorry that you're blind,
robots you have became,
yourself you'll never find.
God made you, as well as me,
this means I am something,
the world is a liarand if I must be a nothing
for you to see it,
then so be it!
*sigh* sooooo sad! I almost cried! Even though I read Lurlence McDaniel books a lot; very sad books.
