Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)

Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)

By Charles Dickens

I'm halfway through the novel right now, & I've got to say, it's amazing! So far, I've heard about how the French Revolution is ongoing, while the story revolves around the following characters - Dr. Manette, a man who has been driven insane due to his immoral imprisonment for 18 years; his daughter, Lucie Manette, a lovely young woman who inspires & gives hope to those around her; Charles Darnay, the virtuous son of venal French aristocrats who is persecuted in both England & France; Madame Defarge, a cruel yet cunning agent who silently weaves a complex web of victims; & Sydney Carton, a failing, alcoholic lawyer who is still able to reveal a love filled with both allure & tragedy. Simply fascinating... :D

I decided to start this series because i like mysteries. I read the first one and i was hooked so far i have everyone in my school library and hoping to read the last few. The first one is about this 3rd grader named Dink and his friends Josh and Ruth Rose who are always the main characters. He is going to see his favorite kids mystery writer named Wallis Wallace and in the letter to Dink it says that he will be there unless he is kidnapped but then Wallis dosen't show up at the book signing! the police say he just missed his flight ,but Dink knows what really happened!

The Thief of Always: A Fable

The Thief of Always: A Fable

By Clive Barker

In this book, Harvey and Wendall are two kids who are really bored, and are taken to a house during holiday. They discover that the house has magic. They try to escape the house, but discover that everything in the house are illusions, including the people. Every day in the house was a year. Another character, Mr. Hood, is trying to persuade Harvey to become his Apprentice by giving him what he desires, but Harvey refuses. The book is interesting, it can be scary with lots of weird creatures. But, this may be a good experience for readers to inspire them to read fantasy titles. Fantasy books are special. *Warning* there is some language in this book...but it is still a good book.

Johnny Tremain

Johnny Tremain

By Esther Hoskins Forbes

Johnny Tremain is an amazing book based in 1770`s, just before and during the revolutionary war. It tells the story of a young silversmiths apprentice, and his adventures in Boston. I liked this book because it make history interesting by telling a story about working through hard times, and letting go of your pride. I connected with Johnny because he is my age and he goes through many of the struggles that a modern day teen would have to go through. It was very engaging and had plenty of action. It was also interesting to me because I live very close to Boston and I've seen may of the places that are mentioned in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes books. In conclusion, this book teaches many lessons and is fun to read.
