Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story

Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story

By Nora Raleigh Baskin

I read this book in my class for read aloud. It is a nine eleven story from different perspectives. One is a muslim girl her name is Naheed, the second is a teenage boy named Will who lives in Pennsylvania, and a african-american kid named Sergio. I think they all had these perspectives to show how everyone was affected by it in a different way. Naheed got affected by it because she wore a hijab and she was Muslim, and the terrorists were Muslim. Will gets affected because a while before the attack his father passed away, and on the attack one plane hit a field close to his neighborhood so he saw that plane. Sergio had problems himself because he could pretty much hear the attack because he lived in NY, and he won some educational award so he got money and his father who never even showed up EVER in his life suddenly came because he wanted part of the money. If you are at the library or a bookstore please pick up this book.

Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere

Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere

By Julie T. Lamana

I recently read this book! It is really good. It pulls at your heartstrings, though! If you don not like sad stories, DON'T read this book. It is good though. I am not a person who cries easily, and even this book made me teary-eyed. I loved Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere!

By Jean Fritz

"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

Annie (An Annie Book)

By Thomas Meehan

This book (and play) is AMAZING. I was in the play and it's my favorite musical ever. This is about a little girl named Annie who learns that if you live a bad life, you can power through it and make "tomorrow" come once and for all.
