A great book! Perfect if you want to build your vocabulary. It will be a difficult read if you're not used to reading this style, but The Scarlet Letter is very beneficial! Personally I thought the writing was beautiful, and I would recommend this book if you like classics. (Just make sure to have a dictionary on hand for some of the big words)

Hattie Big Sky
By Kirby Larson
Hattie Inez Brooks, a 16 years old who lived through World War One. She used to live in Iowa with her Aunt Ivy and Uncle Holt. Hattie is well known as Hattie-There-And-Here to her relatives. Her good friend, Charlie Hawley, who is a soldier who basically on the way to England then to France. Charlie has taught Hattie how to play baseball properly and gave her a cat named Mr. Whiskers. Hattie moved to Vida, Montana to move in her homestead from her another uncle, Chester. She met one possible enemy, Traft Martin who has offered to buy her homestead at least twice. She also met a loving family which are very good friend to Hattie; Karl, Perilee, Chase, Mattie (decreased by young age), Mattie`s doll, Mulie, and younger sister, Fern Mueller, Leafie Purvis, Mr. Edgard, and newborn baby in Mueller family, Charlotta "Lottie". In nearly every chapter, we could read the letters between Charlie and Hattie, they kinda really like each other but never admitted...just yet! While some other chapters, we also could read newspaper-like at the starting of the chapters. In nearly ending of the book, nearly everyone were affected by Spanish influenza. Then in the ending of the book, Hattie has discovered that she made a "home" on her late uncle, Chester which is finally sold to Mr. Martin. I would def recommend this book because this is super good! I also rate this 5 stars! - Happy Reading!

The War that Saved My Life
By Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
This book takes place in World War II. Ava and her little brother Jamie are living with their abusive mother in a small apartment shack in London. Ava has an unfixed clubfoot, and because of it, Ava's mother doesn't let her go out in public, go to school, use a normal bathroom, and treats Ava like she is nothing but a burden in life. One day, Jamie finds out about a train taking kids to the country, where it will be safer than London when the bombs come. Ava's mother doesn't want Ava to go, but Ava sneaks out with Jamie and they take the train. When they arrive, nobody wants to take them in, so they are taken to a women named Susan. Susan does not have kids nor does she want kids, but she is forced to take them. At Susan's house, Ava's world is changed. For the first time in her life, she is allowed to go outside at free will. At Susan's house, she discovers so many new things, like grass and a horse named Butter, which she learns to ride. She gets three good meals a day, and gets to use a normal bathroom, not a bucket. Eventually, Ava and Jamie start to grow on Susan, and she starts to grow on them. Ava finally has someone to comfort her, and to tuck her in at night. She gets an education, and has the possibility to get her clubfoot fixed. And for the first time ever, Ava gets something she's never got before. Ava gets to be loved. The War That Saved My Life is a wonderful book. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley did an amazing job writing this book, and did a really great job having you connect with the character, as if you were right there beside her the whole time. I recommend this book to boys and girls ages 11+.
