Through My Eyes

Through My Eyes

By Ruby Bridges

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.

The Hiding Place

The Hiding Place

By Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth Sherrill, John Sherrill

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!

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

By David Stabler

This book is a really relaxing and fun read. It tells about what the presidents were like when they were kids. Some of the presidents had ordinary lives that weren't the most fun to read, but others I was stuck laughing on. Plus the pictures are great graphic ones. My favorite story was the Ulysses Grant one where he was going to buy a horse, but made a mistake that cost him money. You learn so much stuff about what life was like in different times and it's really interesting. This book didn't take a long time to read, but it was sort of fun just to look through the stories, so if you want a quick read that is totally worth it, this book is for you!

The Thief of Always: A Fable

The Thief of Always: A Fable

By Clive Barker

In this book, Harvey and Wendall are two kids who are really bored, and are taken to a house during holiday. They discover that the house has magic. They try to escape the house, but discover that everything in the house are illusions, including the people. Every day in the house was a year. Another character, Mr. Hood, is trying to persuade Harvey to become his Apprentice by giving him what he desires, but Harvey refuses. The book is interesting, it can be scary with lots of weird creatures. But, this may be a good experience for readers to inspire them to read fantasy titles. Fantasy books are special. *Warning* there is some language in this book...but it is still a good book.

Pride and Prejudice (Marvel Illustrated)

Pride and Prejudice (Marvel Illustrated)

By Jane Austen

bsc

I am normally not one for classic novels, but Pride and Prejudice was something else! Elizabeth Bennet, known as "Lizzy" or "Eliza" does not wish to get married. She knows what she wants for a man and has her own standards. The Bennet family meet many men, many who end up marrying one of the 6 Bennet girls. Refusing to proposals many times, Lizzy is still grounded and marry when she finds the right man and does what she pleases. So when Lizzy meets Mr. Darcy, a selfish and inconsiderate man that always seems to want to be around Lizzy, Lizzy shuts him out. She describes him as "selfish" and only "self considerate" and "horrible man". But Lizzy finds something else about him. Something different than other men. A nagging Mrs. Bennet thinks this might be the last chance for Lizzy to marry. Will Mr. Darcy be the one? Or will he be another refused proposal? A lovely classic novel with a feminist vibe. Happy reading!

Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House)

Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House)

By Mary Pope Osborne

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.
