Lincoln's Little Girl, written by Fred Trump, is a good book and a true story. Grace Bedell, Lincoln's little girl, wrote him a famous letter telling him to "let his whiskers grow", right before the presidential election. Lincoln didn't have any girls, so he decided to listen to grace's advice, just as he would if he had a daughter, and grow a beard. She even got kissed by Lincoln himself when his train came through where she lived on his way to Washington D.C. right after the election. But what happened to 11 year-old Grace after that? She grew up, got married, and had a long life. But what happened during her life? Read the book to find out. I recommend if you like history to read this book. It is a little harder to process and read, so I think ages 11- adults would enjoy this historical book.

"The Boy on the Wooden Box" is a wonderful book that I highly recommend. I seriously read it in one day and I still had time to start a new book. It was THAT GOOD! "The Boy on the Wooden Box" is a true story of Leon Leyson who was one of the youngest people to be put on Schindler's list. Leon tells his horrible beyond belief war stories. When a Polish & Jewish boy named Leon was about 8 there were signs of a war to come. When he was about 10 the war began. It started as "Jews can't do this and Jews can't do that" but nothing too extreme. Then the Germans then started banning Jews from schools. The Nazis try to make their lives harder by forbidding them from sitting on park benches well parks in general. These Germans make them wear stars on their sleeves to identify who they are. But since Leon is younger than 12 he doesn't need to wear a star. His friends stopped acknowledging him because he is a Jew. Oskar Schindler the Nazi gives Leon's father a job and things finally look hopeful. But when the Leyson family were evicted and sent to a Jewish Ghetto in Kraków, Poland everything dramatically changes. But things turn up for a while when Schindler gives work to Leon, his brother David, and his mother. Leon's family struggles to find work and are faced with starvation. As a growing boy he rummages through garbage cans to find at least a potato peel. He changes Ghettos and goes to a concentration camp but ultimately has kind Schindler to watch out for him and anyone else that works for him. This is an amazing book I did not want to put down. "The Boy on the Wooden Box" really shows the horrors of WWII and makes you feel so grateful for all you have been given and how lucky you are to have a roof over your head, warm food to eat, and clothes to wear. A fantastic read!

awsome

Awesome book. It is awesome and cool. It is about Michaela DePrince was known as girl Number 27 at the orphanage, where she was abandoned at a young age and tormented as a “devil child” for a skin condition that makes her skin appear spotted. But it was at the orphanage that Michaela would find a picture of a beautiful ballerina en pointe that would help change the course of her life. At the age of four, Michaela was adopted by an American family, who encouraged her love of dancing and enrolled her in classes. She went on to study at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at the American Ballet Theatre and is now the youngest principal dancer with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. She has appeared in the ballet documentary First Position, as well as on Dancing with the Stars, Good Morning America, and Nightline. In this engaging, moving, and unforgettable memoir, Michaela shares her dramatic journey from an orphan in West Africa to becoming one of ballet’s most exciting rising stars.

I have no idea what this book is but it looks really good ... i think . if it is good leave a comment and follow me .

Look, I know this is a book but I watched the show and it was awesome, the show is on amazon.

This is a great read if you are wanting an accurate account of the Holocaust and World War II from two completely different viewpoints. Alfons Heck, a Hitler Youth, explains the brainwashing that took place among the German youth. Helen Waterford, a Holocaust survivor, tells of her experiences in the Holocaust.

The main lesson in this story is to try to be glad when your sad. First, when the Glad Game was harder for Pollyanna it would be more fun! Pollyanna would always play the Glad Game when she was sad. Pollyanna even helped other people who are not happy or are disappointed to play the Glad Game. Second, she even taught Nancy ( a maid ) how to play the Glad Game! When Pollyanna wanted a toy doll in a care package from the ladies aid, but instead got crutches, she was blue. So her dad taught her how to play the Glad Game! At first, Pollyanna thought,¨ How could a silly game help me find a way to be happy about these crutches?¨, look at her now, she´s spreading the game everywhere! Third, she finally figured out how to be glad about the crutches! ( The book never said how? ) Finally, I would recommend this book for 5th grade girls because the book taught me to try to be glad when I´m sad, and if you read the book, I hope you will try to! Pollyanna is a tremendous book! I would read Pollyanna again!!!

I love Egypt so much I’ll just need to carry like 5 gallons of water 💧💦
