I enjoyed reading the book Forge but I’m slightly disappointed too. I recommend this book to everyone who likes historical fiction. This book is about a runaway slave named Curzon and how he struggles to survive during the American Revolutionary War as a soldier. Curzon and the other soldiers at Valley Forge are suffering from the cold and icy winter, hunger, and the constant threat of the British army. With all this to suffer from already, poor Curzon has even more things to worry about. Will he be found by his master? Will this cruel war ever end? But the most important question of all. . . is Isabel alive? Overall, Forge is a thrilling, drama-filled, and slightly romantic book that really focuses on the difficulties of soldiers and slaves during the American Revolutionary War. The book has a good plot and a lot of plot twists and it’s the kind of book you would read while curled in a warm blanket with a cup of hot cocoa. I liked the way that you can understand how life was during the American Revolutionary War. The only thing that disappoints me is that the author seemed to drag out the story, and the ending was too predictable.

I just finished reading this book, and I really liked it. It takes place in the late '70s in New York, when the Son of Sam was on the loose, murdering unsuspecting people. It was a difficult time in the history of New York (which I just learned, although my aunt remembers), and the main character was also facing challenges in her own family. I learned a lot from this book, not just about history, but also about standing up for what's right as well as yourself.

I really loved this book! At first, I thought it was a bit confusing as you were placed in court with the main character (Arthur Owens) Answering the judges' questions. This book starts with Arthur Owens in court, the book gives you a flashback about what he did and how he landed in Juvie. He threw a brick at a man and was sentenced to work for the man for 140 hours. The reason he threw a brick, gave me empathy for him. The book went on and I learned about what happened to Arthur Owen's life. You also saw the relationship between the man he hit and him. For all the reasons and more I loved this book! This also was a true story which makes it even better.

The book The Journal of James Edmond Pease is an interesting book about a distressed soldier. He is tasked by a war official to keep a journal of the war. It is filled with parts of his life in the war, a few letters romantically, and friendships in the camp. How people get promoted, and when they lose one battle only fate can decide our character's future. It is very suspenseful always having you on the edge of the seat, especially in the middle of surprise attacks. I enjoyed this book because of the adrenaline you get even if you aren't in the war. The way the author expresses the character's emotions and feelings is extremely awesome. It leaves off on a cliff hanger which I really like. There are some major unexpected reveals at the end of this magical book as well! I really suggest you read this book.

Loved it.

wow, i don't know what to say besides THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT!!! In every single chapter drama and even a little accidental comedy is introduced. There are constant twists, changes in characters ('wink wink kino') and I am always satisfied with the chapter. I would recommend this book to any kid over 10 and any adult or teenager. I am sure you will at least love it!

This book is about a young girl named Carmen. There was a molasses/syrup company and they need space for all the molasses, and build a giant tank for it. One day the people that live by the tank start hear noises. So they report it to the company many times, but they ignore it. Soon the tank explodes sending 24 foot waves of molasses every where destroying every think in it's path. Carmen gets sucked under a giant wave and finally feels safe, but another wave comes. This is a great book because i teaches you about The Great Molasses Flood of 1919, but also is an exciting book.

I decided to read it because it was going to be the book that would help with my biography report. It had great information if you ever needed to read or know about Annie Sullivan and her student Hellen Keller. It tells that Annie also grew up blind but eventually her sight got better and was sent to a foster home after the age of ten or eleven.

Oh my goodness what a book!i feal the spine tingling that vicy felt lost in alaska it makes me want to be a better freind to my dog its safe to say this is a GREAT book i for sure is a must read summer book happy reading!(:

I thought this book was truly incredible. Samuel was just a kid living the Revolutionary War time period when his parents got kidnapped by the British. Samuel went on a journey to save his parents. He met new friends like Abner, who helped a lot, and Annie, a sweet young girl who is now his sister. He has to do incredibly dangerous things to save his parents. It will leave you puzzled, have you on the edge of your seat, and touch your heart. You must read it.
