The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)

By Arthur Conan Doyle, Christopher Roden

This is a very classical novel, it contains many short adventures about Sherlock Holmes. All of them are full of mystery and very interesting. The plots are compact that let people cannot realise what happened yet, then the criminals are arrested. I love the way which Conan Doyle used to describe characters. Although there are many characters in this novel. but I can clearly remember each of them. Because the author used many adjective to describe each of them. "The Final Problem" is my favourite stories of this book. Although Sherlock died in this story, the plots are still very interesting. Sherlock and professor Moriarty are both died. The process of the conflict between them is very thrilling.

Torpedoed: The True Story of the World War II Sinking of "The Children's Ship"

Torpedoed: The True Story of the World War II Sinking of "The Children's Ship"

By Deborah Heiligman

Imagine being stuck out in the middle of the ocean in a lifeboat with only a "dipperfull" of water for 8 DAYS. You have lost hope, and crew members are going crazy- drowning themselves, yelling random phrases. When ships come towards you, your heart soars. Yet they turn away, unaware of Lifeboat 12. Kenneth Thompson tells a remarkable story and keeps the reader in suspense. I would rate it 9+, and an absolute must for readers that like historical fiction.

Just Being Audrey

Just Being Audrey

By Margaret Cardillo

This book is a great introduction to the world of Audrey Hepburn. I love and adore Audrey and am a fan through and through. This is also a great book because it isn’t very long so you could also read it to a younger sibling but it still covers her whole life which is good. I recommend this book for any age as it is simple but great. Oh and one of the best parts about it Is the illustrations because they are gorgeous just like she was!

Common Sense

Common Sense

By Thomas Paine

I enjoyed learning about the American Revolution in school, but actually learning it from the perspective of a colonist. If you read my review of War and Peace, this might be a bit like that. This was like War and Peace, but shorter and they used words like "thereof" more often (Not like that's a problem, obviously). It was only 58 pages long, but it still took me like an hour to read (which is really saying something). Thomas Paine's pamphlet sold over 100,000 copies in the first three months, which is pretty amazing! I mean, he might not have thought his publication would have such a huge impact on the Patriots (and now the Loyalists probably hated him. I'm not sure about the neutrals. Neutral, maybe? Whatever)!! This was AMAZING to read. If you want to read it, be warned, it's slightly dry, but if you really want to learn about the American Revolution, then you'll probably love it. My class just finished learning about the American Revolution and I really wanted to read Common Sense. So I did! It's not a novel, or a biography, or an atlas, or a fact book, but a PAMPHLET (Look it up. It's probably in the dictionary. The word pamphlet, I mean. P-A-M-P-H-L-E-T. Easy). Read it! It's good (and thin)!

Where Is Stonehenge?

By True Kelley

This book is about how Stonehenge was built and its interesting facts with it. It also talked about multiple people and how Stonehenge became what it is today. I related to this book by when I would help build with my dad . I gave it a 3/5 stars because it did get confusing when they would talk about who built it ;then the next part would be about who owns it.
