A Year Down Yonder

A Year Down Yonder

undefined

Mary Alice, age 15, feels very sorry for herself when she is put on a train by her parents (because they need to get a smaller house where there is no room for her) during the economic slump after "The Great War" (WW1), to live with her grandma (a woman known for being very active and having a gun) in a small town where everyone knows everything. I would recommend this book to age ten and up because it has some parts that are better for older kids (A painter tries to paint the post lady while she has not clothes on, and then a snake falls on her because the painter's studio is in the attic, and the post lady runs back to the post office screaming without her clothes on, and there is also a tiny bit of romance).

The River (A Hatchet Adventure)

The River (A Hatchet Adventure)

I would read Hatchet first, it would make more sense. He is not alone this time. He has a man named Derek Holtzer with him. But on a stormy night Derek reaches for his briefcase and gets struck by lightning and in a coma. Brian had to build a raft and travel the river to a trading post where they are saved. I totally recommend it! 🙂

The Jungle Book-Treasury of Illustrated Classics Storybooks Collection by Rudyard Kipling (2013-01-21)

By Rudyard Kipling

The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling, tells that even a little child can be astounding. Once, there was a boy named Mowgli. He was raised by a pack of wolves in the rainforests of India. Later though, he had to move to the village. Unfortunately, soon he was driven out by an old man because he thought he had bad behavior, but Mowgli did some amazing things, like skin a tiger. Nearby, there was a mongoose called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Rikki-Tikki was brought to Teddy’s home, but during the night, snakes would come there. The mongoose killed the intruding snakes! Finally, there was another boy called Little Toomai. Petersen Sahib, who caught all the elephants for the government, told him that he could have a job when the elephants danced, which Petersen thought meant never. Sahib said this because he didn’t want him to have job ever. Little Toomai waited, and soon the elephants started to dance! The hunters all had a feast, just because Little Toomai, who had seen elephants dancing. I recommend this story, having three stories in it, for boys and girls, grades third to fifth.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

By Mark Twain

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is my favorite book. Tom is a mischievous young boy who gets into all sorts of trouble. He has a big crush on a new girl named Becky Thatcher, and would do anything for her. He witnesses a grave robbery and murder with his friend Huck Finn. He even runs away with his friends and people assume he's dead. Tom can always talk himself out of a scrape, and can even get kids to take his punishments AND pay him! This is a wonderful book about a fun and daring childhood.

By Parody Brothers

It is a really funny book, but is a total rip-off. I still think its interesting. This book is for Hunger Games fans. If you haven't read the first book, you should probably read it before reading this one.

The Serpent's Shadow (Kane Chronicles, Book 3)

The Serpent's Shadow (Kane Chronicles, Book 3)

By Rick Riordan

When young magicians Carter and Sadie Kane learned how to follow the path of the Ancient Egyptian gods, they knew they would have to play an important role in restoring Ma’at—order—to the world. What they didn’t know is how chaotic the world would become. The Chaos snake Apophis is loose and threatening to destroy the earth in three days’ time. The magicians are divided. The gods are disappearing, and those who remain are weak. Walt, one of Carter and Sadie’s most gifted initiates, is doomed and can already feel his life force ebbing. Zia is too busy babysitting the senile sun god, Ra, to be of much help. What are a couple of teenagers and a handful of young trainees to do? There is possibly one way to stop Apophis, but it is so difficult that it might cost Carter and Sadie their lives, if it even works at all. It involves trusting the ghost of a psychopathic magician not to betray them, or worse, kill them. They’d have to be crazy to try it. Well, call them crazy. With hilarious asides, memorable monsters, and an ever-changing crew of friends and foes, the excitement never lets up in The Serpent’s Shadow, a thoroughly entertaining and satisfying conclusion to the Kane Chronicles.
