Kids Books - History

I love this book, it talks about important people around the world including some presidents, it's for kids and adults, I really like the book.

I really liked this book! It told of an artist’s childhood in China, Canada, India, and the United States. This was an interesting book because my grandfather went through a similar journey. I don’t think that many people have read this book, and I want others to know how good it is. I hope that you will give this book a chance, because I think you will like it!

I'm being bullies so I know how he feels.He probably feels lonely and feels good when someone finally takes a stand.Also I think when bullies bully people they make them feel scared to go to school and when the bully gets caught he'll be in BIG trouble so, why do bullies bully people I mean it makes other people feel like dorks and they are popular.So,I think people should not bully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Four score and seven years ago..." ( President Abraham Lincoln) I'm this short book it talks a little about President Abraham Lincoln. He was president at a very hard time in U.S history. The North & the South were at war, but he still had time to not only try to win the war and put a end to slavery he also wrote letters to Americans, help the people, and give speeches. His son Tad (Thomas) loved his father and loved to pretend to be a soilder and play and wrestle with his dad. Near the small town of Gettysburg a huge battle took place and nearly 43,000 men died total from both sides. President A. Lincoln was invited to give a short speech in honor of all the men. 15-20,000 people came to here the speeches. One man, Mr. Everett, spoke for nearly 2 hours whilst The Presidents speech was about 2 minutes lomg! Everyone would remember the So we h for many many years to come. I'm the back of this book there is a copy of the speech and I can see why it was and still is a very popular speech. Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

The fourth book in The Missing; Jonah and Katherine are sent to 1611 to fix (and save) the year 1600. Jonah is supposed to act like John Hudson, Henry Hudson’s son on his ship The Discovery. With a futuristic exact John Hudson costume being worn by Jonah, he is the perfect John Hudson and Katherine is invisible. With a planned mutiny of Henry Hudson onboard, Jonah and Katherine need to figure out how to save history. Henry Hudson surrenders to the mutineers and agrees to go on a shallop with a few other shipmates to find the Northwest Passage. After they narrowly escape an iceberg, they see the ship coming back for them from the south when it was headed North. Then they spot the Northwest Passage. Second is at the helm and changing history up. So, after Jonah is put in the stocks and they find out one of the men is Second, they go back in time to where they were in the shallop trying to make things right and not be forced by Second’s hand. Will history fall apart, or will they succeed in making things right? What I thought about it Margaret Peterson Haddix is a wonderful author. She writes books in a way that you can see what’s happening clearly with your imagination. I discovered her from Into The Gauntlet, the tenth 39 Clues book. Then I read Found and Sent and loved those so I said, “Why not continue the series?” So I did with Sabotaged and Torn. It took me a long time to read both of them and I was actually anxious to finish and get on with another book. Sabotaged in my opinion was pretty confusing in some parts; I liked it, but there are so many things happening, that at one point it just confuses you. I had similar feelings with Torn, but it was slow-paced and didn’t have enough action. I have started reading the next one and I hope it will be better. I was sort of disappointed that Haddix made me want to finish to read something else. I hope she redeems herself with some other good books in the series.

Katherine and her brother Jemmy are surprised when there widowed mother decides to move the family to california to teach. As excited as they are about the life of living near the gold mines, their adventures are far beyond what any of them could have imagined. Such as a stubborn mule, a man with a grudge, unexpected fortune, and opening a restaurant for hungry miners, but Katherine and Jemmy are sure of one thing, the frontier is home sweet home. I liked this story because it had me laughing every chapter. All the funny experiences they go through make the book hilarious and fun to read.

so this was a book about how her dream came true how she was like no more slavey she was free and her dreams came true

i like it because she was brave she did not want to give up her seat to a wight man and bake then you would go to jail or get beaten if you did not lisen to them so i think she was a brave girl.

Ever wonder how hot air balloons fly? Ever wondered who invented them? If so, you have chosen the best book to turn your questions into answers. It describes the nerve-racking flight of the first hot air balloon ever flown, with the classics of a version with a duck and other barn animals on the balloon. It is a nice book that describes the first hot air balloon ride and shows the historical story of the world's first hot-air balloon.

This book is incredible. It is about a poor slave girl Mara in egypt, who is very smart, and speaks both egyptian and babylonian. For that very reason a mysterious man buys her from her previous owner, telling her that if she serves him as a spy, rooting out the rebels that are fighting against the queen, then he will set her free. Mara has dreamed of freedom all of her life, and will do anything to gain it, but as she goes undercover she finds herself tangled in an astonishing web of politics, treason, and worst of all, love. Mara is now playing double spy, working for both sides, but sooner or later she has to choose what means more to her, freedom for herself, or for all of egypt. This book was so good I couldn't put it down. I love how quick-witted Mara is, and the choices she are faced with are Incredible! It deserves a five star rating for sure. The author got me rooting for the main characters at the start.
