Kids Books - States

This was my all time favorite in the whole Dear America series! One day a young girl was just enjoying her morning when planes started flying overhead, very low. She wondered, what is happening? Then those planes started to drop bombs! Her family rushed to safety. She barely knew what was happening. Could she survive one of the most famous events in U.S. history? My favorite historical fiction book of all time. 5 stars for sure!

This book is one of my all time favorite books! This book took me on a emotional roller coaster filled with sadness, joy, and tons more. Thank you for an amazing book that all kids need to read!

i love molly

The author (Melanie Crowder) makes me feel like I'm in the story because Melanie Crowder uses awesome words and makes the story so intense. For example, in the story its says "We travel half way the world and still my dreams are impossible." and she's one of my favorite authors and in every single part i could feel her same pain and happiness. It's a really good book I love it.

I think it is a good book but I wouldn't recommend it if your an animal lover and its very complicated and hard to understand and there is gresam

This book is from the point of view from a mouse named Celeste. Celeste is trying to find a new home. Along the way Celeste makes many new friends and an enemy. In the end Celeste finally finds a home. Overall this book is alright and full of wonderful pencil sketches on almost every page.

I love this book

Have you witnessed JFK's assassination or even seen the video on YouTube? Well what if you could see it happen in your mind from just reading a book? The book I read was The President Has Been Shot by James L. Swanson published in 2013, with the genre being nonfiction. I have not always been a big fan of non-fiction, but after reading this book it has shown me as a reader that non-fiction can be just as interesting as fiction. I give this book 5 stars for detailed information and the quality of the details. While reading the book I never felt that there was a part that did not have much detail. The author had to have spent a lot of time finding little but specific facts. The book is mainly about John F Kennedy's assassination, but also his early life of how he became President and the aftermath and chaos from the presidents death. A very interesting feature about the book is that it explains what Lee Harvey Oswald,(JKF's assassin) did to prepare the assassination attempt. The book has exact details because in just one example states,"The third bullet sliced through John Kennedy's thatch of thick reddish-brown hair. It cut a neat hole through his scalp and perforated his skull. The velocity, the pressure, and the physics of death did the rest. The right rear side of the president's skull blew out -exploded really-tearing open his scalp, and spewing skull fragments, blood, and brains several feet into the air where it hung for a few seconds, suspended in a pink cloud."(Swanson 113.) All though this is a disturbing example there is very extreme details which make the book very accurate and more interesting to read because at times like this you feel like you did or are witnessing JFK's assassination. Another example in the book states,"She pressed her cheek against his still warm face. She kissed his body. Then she removed her wedding ring and slipped it onto one of his fingers." This information and the details given are so precise because the author of the book knows every single small fact about the assassination and the aftermath. Some of the information doesn't even matter but it shows how absolutely nothing was left out of the book. The type of reader who would like this book is someone who is interested in American history or if they would like to learn about JFK.

It’s amazing you should really read it

This book is a really good perspective of when America was segregated, in a place in Alabama called Anniston, where there were strong emotions that were mixed about segregation between blacks and whites. What's different about this book is that the protagonist is white and doesn't feel that there should be segregation while most people do. She and a few other people have to stand up to their own opinions; even Billie's dad likes segregation.
