Growing Up with Aloha: A Nanea Classic 1 (American Girl Beforever Classic)

Growing Up with Aloha: A Nanea Classic 1 (American Girl Beforever Classic)

By Kirby Larson

When I received this book from DOGObooks, I was thrilled to start reading! Nanea Mitchell is a 9-year-old girl who is growing up during the beginning of World War II in Hawaii. Nanea is tired of being called the baby of the family and is determined to prove herself responsible by winning a 'Helping Hand' contest with the help of her 2 best friends, Lily and Donna. But after the attacks by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, where Nanea's dad works, the contest doesn't seem to matter anymore. Lily's father has been taken away, and Donna and her mother might have to leave Hawaii because they are labeled "unnecessary" by the government! Plus, Nanea's beloved puppy is missing! Everything is a mess. Nanea doesn't know what to do besides try to help out as much as she can. But being a kid amidst the war, it will be hard. Will life in Hawaii ever be the same? This book is outstanding! I didn't know too much about Pearl Harbor before reading this book, but now I've learned a lot! This book has humor, adventure, and a twist at the end that will make you want to read the sequel! I recommend this book for kids 8+!

Falling Kingdoms

Falling Kingdoms

By Morgan Rhodes

This book was amazing! It had so many completely different things happening with different characters at the same. But they all tied in together. So if one main character did something big, it would impact another main character greatly but the other main character would have never noticed! This book really shows that if you have to much hatred an revenge clouding your common sense than you could start terrible things that could impact 3 kingdoms greatly...

West of the Moon

West of the Moon

By Margi Preus

West of the Moon by Margi Preus is a really good book that is sort of a play on the folktale "East of the Sun, West of the Moon." It is about two girls who try to run away from their evil goatman master. It's really amazing and I really liked reading it. "I want to do what's right. But how can I, when I am faced with only impossible choices?” ― Margi Preus, West of the Moon
