The Upstairs Room

The Upstairs Room

By Johanna Reiss

I didn't like this book at all!!!! I thought it was very boring and it said the same inappropriate word many times. I would recommend this book to many 6th or 7th graders starting to learn WWll, but if you already read a book about WWll or know about it, this book would not be right for you.

The book is about a boy in the 21st century Corey Fletcher who is known for having a oversized imagination. But on Halloween night before Corey was going to a Halloween party with his friend Leila when Corey was staring at a image of people on Halloween Night 1862 Corey noticed a few changes. Starting with the park, the park was fading into consturuction along two men came into view entering from swirling clouds of fog, soon Corey noticed the change in the bathroom flooring it orginally was tiled but then it changed to wood soon Corey began to realize that he wasn't in his own time. He saw Papou (grandfather in greek) with the other men and yelled trying to get his attention before Corey left what used to be Leila's apartment. Throwback is filled with action, suspense, and puzzles. If you like time travel, action packed, suspense, and puzzles, then Throwback is the story for you!

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

By Jonathan Swift

Luke Cummins

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.

Pollyanna (Oxford Children's Classics)

Pollyanna (Oxford Children's Classics)

By Eleanor Porter

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!!!

The Magic School Bus: Inside a Hurricane

The Magic School Bus: Inside a Hurricane

By Joanna Cole

In this book, it contains information about hurricanes and the geography of it. You will learn about how they form and what the parts of a hurricane are called. While learning more about them, you will have tons of fun! I would recommend this for ages 7+ I'm too old for this book and it is only the basics about hurricanes. Not bad, but they could add more detail.
