Kids Books - Cultures

I really liked this book mostly beacause I love twisted fairy tales. The book is mostly about a princess named Annie who is sleeping bueteys sister. Her sisters true love in stuck as a bear and Annie, Gwennie ( sleeping buety) , Beledegard (Gwennies true love) and Liam ( Annies true love) are the people on the quest. During the story they meet all sorts of fairy tale charecters like the three little pigs. What other adeventures do they have to endure? Read the book to find out!

Another quick read. I love Prince Eadric's devotion to Emma and his willingness to do anything for her and her Kingdom. A strong bold knight with a sense of justice and a deep love for the Kingdom. I loved the new characters - Emma's ancestors.

In this very exciting book, you will travel to the deep beyond with Otis Barton + William Beebe and see many odd creatures. Will the journey go smoothly or will something go wrong? Join the duo as they discover the deep. I would recommend this for ages 7+ I liked how there was a bit of background info for both of them because it was very cool. This was super fun to read and if you liked this book then I would also recommend The Hen Who Sailed Around the World.

this book is a wonderful story about a boy named Steve and his horse. The main conflict in the book is the fight between a man and a wild stallion. And of course, the stallion won. But it is also about the unlikely friendship between a boy and his horse and the cruelties that can come from being in a herd of horses.

Like many other well written Kevin Henkes book, Junonia is a story about a girl, named Alice Rice and goes to her beach cottage in Florida during the summer. If she is lucky, everything will be perfect, including her birthday. But when Alice returns she finds many changes and unexpected things start happen.

Abby Carson is failing sixth grade. It isn't that Abby can't do her schoolwork, it's just that she doesn't like doing it. When a warning letter is sent home, Abby realizes that all of her slacking off could cause her to be held back-for real! Unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking an extra-credit project: find a pen pal in a foreign country. Simply enough (even for a girl who hates homework). When Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, Sadded Bayat is chosen to be her pen pal..... Well, kind of. He is the best writer, but he is also a boy, and in his village it is not appropriate for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, hi younger sister dictates and signs the letter-until Sadded decides what his sister is telling Abby isn't what he'd like Abby to know. As letters flow back and forth between Illinois and Afghanistan, Abby and Sadeed discover that their letters are crossing more than an ocean. They are crossing a huge cultural divide and a minefield of different life-styles and traditions. Their growing friendship is also becoming a growing problem for both communities, and some people are not happy. Suddenly things are not simple!

I found this book in the "Book Fair" of Oaklawn Language Academy. I became interested because my mother thought it was good to match my middle name.

This is the best book so far that I've read

This was a really good mystery! It had you hanging on until the very end, and it had lots of twists and turns. I would recommend it to any mystery fan.
