title:The wizard's wand
Author:Geronimo Stilton
In the story when Geronimo saw thirteen unicorns pulling a carriage he said "Had cheese slipped of my cracker?" I think it was a metaphor that meant that he was losing his mind or seeing things.

Title: IMPOSTERS
Author: Scott Westerfeld
The book has a simile: Anatomy classes spill like fire through my head. This helps me understand how much it hurts.
The book has a onomatopoeia it says that "sand filters down whenever a boom sounds outside." This helps me understand the text more because it show how unstable the houses are.
