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!!!

Johnny Tremain: Classic Edition

Johnny Tremain: Classic Edition

By Esther Forbes

I had to read this book for school, and thought I wouldn't like it because I usually don't like newbery honer books. To my surprise this is actually a pretty good book. If you like the revolutionary war or historical fiction I recommend this book.

Al Capone Does My Shirts (Tales from Alcatraz)

Al Capone Does My Shirts (Tales from Alcatraz)

By Gennifer Choldenko

This was a decent book. I was reading it with my reading class, lol. So Moose is forced to move to Alcatraz Island for his dad's job: which is a guard for the jail. Moose's sister: Natalie has autism and is hopefully attending the Esther P. Marinoff school soon. Moose also meets Piper; the Warden's daughter who is bossy and comes up with risky plans. The criminals on Alcatraz are also required to make dinner and do the laundry and Piper comes up with a plan: a laundry business at Moose's and her school. Moose also meets Theresa who is a sassy yet cute girl who always follows Moose and Natalie around. So Moose tries to stay out of trouble on the Island, but that's pretty much impossible with Piper and her plans and his sister Natalie who he always has to keep his eye on.

Copper Sun

Copper Sun

By Sharon M. Draper

Copper Sun is one of my favorite novels. From the story line to the character building. You feel what the characters feel. I also really enjoy how it has two points of view. The indentured servant and the slave. It is a sad realization of history and humanity. But i highly recommend it.

I Am Regina

I Am Regina

By Sally M. Keehn

Isabella

I am Regina By: Isabella One of my favorite books is I am Regina by Sally M. Keehn. There once was a peaceful family, the Leininger family. This family came from Germany. They came for freedom and moved to Pennsylvania. There are two sisters who are very close their names are Barbara who is older and Regina who is the youngest. On a cold cloudy day, their mother and one of their brothers went to get corn milled. The other brother and the father were outside. Then during lunch, unexpected visitors came to the house. I won’t spoil what happens next. That is what you figure out. My favorite part is when Regina tells children stories about the man of God. It is my favorite part because the kids were listening very closely, and Regina felt happy. I recommend this book to people who like to read and are ready for anything. Don’t read the back. It gives it away. This book is in the historical fiction genre. I love that it takes place during the French and Indian War. It is also based on real facts.

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill

By Louisa May Alcott

Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott is a 24 chapter fictional book about two friends. They have small, lighthearted adventures over the course of one year. I really enjoyed connecting to the characters on a personal level, seeing myself in them more than once. If you've read A Wrinkle in Time, this book is similar in writing style. My favorite part about this book is that the characters make mistakes and learn from them. It makes them more relatable. I would highly recommend this book to kids who are reading the classics, who want to read a fun short story, or are learning about different sentence structures. From 0 to 10, I give this book a strong 8.
