Kids Books - Historical

If I'm being honest, this was a truly mature book. It was not your everyday, boring biography. This was actually quite entertaining! In this book, Ruby Bridges explains how she felt, going to William Frantz Elementary School, in the harsh 1950's. She did this to inform the readers about her perspective, and she wrote this because she wanted to inspire the next generation of readers. I liked this book because of the in-depth look of what her 1st grade year was like Ruby Bridges gives to the readers. I would recommend this book to 5th to 7th graders due to the mature topics that are in this book. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

I'm not done the book but so far it keeps reminding me of the way to heaven and how to walk away from satin. It reminds me of the lord and everything you need in life. My teacher is reading this to us and I'm reading on my own as well. He said every time you read it you'll get a different meaning and i think it is true. i love the name of the characters and how they mach there personality like Christin, talktive, faithfull. Great book.

To think that children are abused in this day and age as they think - but not as bad as the Jewish children had it. I cannot begin to imagine the pain the children in World War II experienced... ✡️Corrie ten Boom sucks you right into the story and you never want to put it down - no matter of whether it is non-fiction or not!

This is an amazingly written book by Robert Beatty! Although I did not like the Serafina series by him this book was truly..... there’s just no words about how beautiful this book is! The strong themes/messages about standing up for what you think is right, perseverance, hope, change, friendship and much more is truly what makes this book the best of the best. The strong tiny details everywhere in the book really make the story and scenes come alive! And I love that it’s placed in 1900 and in the Great Smoky Mountains! The cover art is colorful and gorgeous and it just has such a strong storyline and message! This book should probably be for readers ages 10-11+/5th grade and up, because it does have some violence, and some blood. Read it now! Please like and follow! Bye!

When this book started, immediately I was brought back to one of my favorite book series: Gods and Warriors. (I almost thought I had accidentally picked up the Gods and Warriors book again.) But after the first chapter I realized that this was a whole different story. Nic finds the Bulla, which is filled with the overpowering magic bestowed by one of the gods–the question is: which god or goddess? Nic's wildest dreams comes true–along with some of his worst nightmares too. Another user of magic searches tirelessly for him and his bulla, seeking to harness the magic it contains. Who really are Nic's allies and enemies? Or is there really no difference between them? In this well-paced fantasy story, Nic is pitted against the beasts, magic itself, griffins, family, and the desires of his own heart. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!

This book genre is mysterious adventures, and it was written by Mary Pope Osborne. To state it briefly, in the beginning of the story the characters were looking for a tree house, and the tree house was in the middle of a forest. Once they found it they went inside and appeared in a ninja world. They had to follow a path, with the ninja. There was a samurai and an icy cold lake etc on the way. Towards the end, the samurai was coming so they hid behind a rock so they were not seen, and continued back home. Since you don’t know who the characters are then I will tell you more about them. The main characters are Jack and Annie. Jack is more of a reading guy, his favorite thing to do is read, that means he can get smart. Annie likes animals more than books. She loves taking care of what is around her. She is very careful with animals and nature. In addition Jack likes solving puzzles and mysteries. Two key events that happened in the book that added to the plot was. 1 Annie found a mouse that could help them accomplish their mystery, because the mouse was the key to finishing their misson. 2 the Ninjas in the story said there was a samurai. ( the samurai are dangerous.) Without the samurai the story would be less scary and curious. One of the main characters Jack, didn’t like nature, but in page #68 he changed, he started to like nature. He normally says,‘‘ oh brother’’ to his sister Annie, when she just wanted to take care of the little animals that she found, but this time when Annie, his sister was making a bed for for a mouse that helped them succeed in their mission, he kissed the mouse good night and started to change his attitude instead of saying, ‘‘Oh brother.’’ An unanswered question, I would like to ask is, do Jack and Annie’s parents know about their adventures while they are gone? Meanwhile,the thing I most enjoyed about the book was when the characters went to see the ninja master. That part was very mysterious. In the picture on that page, it looked like the ninja master was coming out of fog, but indoor fog. I liked that part because I love mysterious things. The last thing I would like to say about this book is that I would highly recommend this book a lot because even for kids, teenagers etc, for any person who doesn't like reading, this book can change your mind. Also, if you like reading that is even better because you will like reading more. I hope you will read my book someday, oh, and remember my book is called night of the ninjas.

It was a really great book, set in the eyes of Helmuth Hubener, a boy growing up in Nazi Germany in the reign of Hitler. The boy learns and observes the world around him to see how bad things really are due to Hilter. At the age of 17, he writes pamphlets depicting the truth, and with the help of his two friends Karl-Heinz, and Rudolf "Rudi" Wobbe, they spread them around his hometown of Hamburg Germany. Even though the story is sad, it is a great read to really inform the reader of what life was like then, and how one boy fought for the truth.

I thought this book was really good and I was very amazed how Anthony Horowitz still managed to make it good even though it was in a completely different perspective. I also thought that it was cool how Yassen was the hero and once actually had emotion. What happens is that his hometown, Estrov gets destroyed. He escapes to Moscow where he begins a life of crime with some new friends but quickly came to an end when he got kidnapped by a man named Vladimir Sharkovsky. He managed to escape and found Scorpia and Julia Rothman and gets trained in Malagasto. I thought that Anthony developed Yassen super well and we got to learn a lot about him. It makes me like Yassen more than before because I use to dislike him. It made me appreciate him and it also made me realize why he became such an emotionless killer. I felt that he is a good man inside or at least he was once a good man. But this was an action packed awesome novel that I loved and finished very quickly.

Kinda freaky, but it is NOT REAL. Which is luckily good. There is a kid named Jerome who was given a toy gun by his friend, and when a police officer thought he had a real gun, he shot the boy. Jerome died and his ghost lingered. He soon met other ghosts, who were all... brown skinned boys. They were all killed because they were black, just like Jerome. The person that started it all was their leader. Each ghost had one person who could see him, and Jerome's was the officer's daughter. He had shot him because he was afraid of him. And, basically.... he was just a ghost forever... :/ :( :'( This book was creepy, and might get kids believing in ghosts. So... what I got from the story was "DON'T BE RACIST."
