Gregor And The Marks Of Secret (Underland Chronicles, Book Four)

Gregor And The Marks Of Secret (Underland Chronicles, Book Four)

By Suzanne Collins

The series was really cool! Imagine a world where all your everyday creatures are oversized. That is what the UNDERWORLD is like in Gregor's land. He must venture out into the world and save Regalia, which is like Rome but a lot more modern, and dark. Collins wrote a book nothing like the hunger games, and I think all of the Collins fans out there should read it!

This was a great book! I loved how Jack and Annie went back to the early 1900s to visit young Louis Armstrong! It was very entertaining and creepy as well!! This was a very good story, and I love how the chapter titles are names of some of Louis Armstrong’s songs! This was an amazing story!!

No one really knows exactly what Cleopatra looked like, but they do know that she was one of the most influential women in history because of alliances with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony. She died young, at the age of 39 after she poisoned herself with a snake bite sometime after her husband killed himself thinking that she had died in war. Her death marked the beginning of Roman Rule in Egypt, which would last another several hundred years. This was a very interesting book recommended for 11+ thanks for reading - Ajg16's reviews

By Marcel Prins, Peter Henk Steenhuis

This book is about a girl and the rest of there family trying to survive the holocaust. Right when you open the book it already makes you want to read because the beginning is so entertain right off the back because it starts with the solders coming after the Jews. I made one connection because when Anne frank didn't get any rest because she had to stay quiet and keep quit that made her feel sick,and when I don"t get rest I fill sick I give this book a 5 star because it gives a lot of information about the Holocaust and what happen.

Where Is Stonehenge?

Where Is Stonehenge?

By True Kelley

This book is about how Stonehenge was built and its interesting facts with it. It also talked about multiple people and how Stonehenge became what it is today. I related to this book by when I would help build with my dad . I gave it a 3/5 stars because it did get confusing when they would talk about who built it ;then the next part would be about who owns it.
