Kids Books - Historical

Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott is a 24 chapter fictional book about two friends. They have small, lighthearted adventures over the course of one year. I really enjoyed connecting to the characters on a personal level, seeing myself in them more than once. If you've read A Wrinkle in Time, this book is similar in writing style. My favorite part about this book is that the characters make mistakes and learn from them. It makes them more relatable. I would highly recommend this book to kids who are reading the classics, who want to read a fun short story, or are learning about different sentence structures. From 0 to 10, I give this book a strong 8.

I am highly interested in the history of Woman so when I learned of Rosie the riveter I knew I just had to read this. I learned many things about what it was like for woman during WWII getting a chance to work real jobs and not just stay at home all day "taking care of the kids" and "making supper before their husbands got home". I've always found it strange that they weren't given these opportunities before some thing horrible like a war happend. I recommend this to 12+ or to anyone whom is interested in women's history.

Julia Alvarez, the author of Before we were Free takes readers back in time to the 60s in Dominican Republic. The setting is in the Dominican Republic in 1960. Some of the main characters are Anita, Carla, Mami, Papi and Tio Toni. Some of the plot is the SIM invades Anita’s house. Julia’s writing style is in first person. I don’t like it because it was hard to follow who was who. She makes it confusing on whether Chucha is a human or a pet. It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s. Julia’s writing style is in first person. I don’t like it because it was hard to follow who was who. She makes it confusing on whether Chucha is a human or a pet. It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s. ¨It turns out that the SIM discovered the plot and most of our uncle´s friends were arrested¨ Before we were Free was a boring book. I was long and had to many spanish words. If you like action adventure or fantasy than this book is not for you. If you like books about social issues than this book is for you. Before we were free was given the Pura Belpre Award. Julia grew up in the Dominican Republic.

So I got this book when I was in 2nd grade and when I read this again, I felt too old for it. But I would recommend this for ages 7+ and for horse lovers. The pace skidded too much but the perception was detailed very well.

Milkweed is about a young boy who grew up during the terrible time of the Holocaust, into a life of stealing and pilfering. When he is accepted into a gang of boys, he is named Misha, and his job continues; until one day everything changes. Bombs rock the town, Jackboots and their marvelous attire march the streets, and winter closes it's grip on the town. When the Jews are forced into a ghetto, he must steal during dangerous conditions to get food. And when disaster strikes, he must learn to survive on his own. This book was both heart- breaking and humorous; it was both terrible and funny to see the world in innocent little Misha's point of view. What really struck me was the ending, to see Misha struggling with his memories of the past. Like all other books on the Holocaust, Milkweed was (and still is) both sad and inspiring.
