The greatest flying machine ever built is about to crash eleven-year-old Hugo Ballard, flying on the Hindenburg is a dream come true. Hugo, his parents, and his four-year-old sister, Gertie, are making the exciting four-thousand-mile journey across the Atlantic in a zeppelin as big as the Titanic. I connected to this book by being excited about also going on something that would be very fun but then it ends as a disaster. I rated this book 5 stars because it was so exciting that you could really be there with the person when they are going through that.

The main character who sets out to find the girl who stole his luggage finds himself in the midst of the historic Chicago Fire of 1871 trying to survive. Enters the story line after stealing Oscar's luggage, is soon revealed as an orphan raising her 2-year old brother. I found a connection to this book by being alone and afraid. I rated this 5 stars because of the amazing plot and details.

I think this book was good b/c it gives a lot of information on how the ideal of making it started up and told you about what was on the floors and how they made it. Toward the middle of the book it talks about how the Twin Towers get bombed and destroyed by terrorist. Nineteen terrorist take over two planes and they crash in to one of the towers and it starts smoking then the other plane crashes in to the other tower and they both start smoking and they both fall and then blow up. A total of 2977 people died and several were injured. This happened on September 11, 2001. Then at the end of the book it tells you how they make a memorial and put all the names of the people who died on a wall. I gave it a four star b/c of how much information the book went to. Like how the book explained all of the facts and characters.

This is my favorite book of all time b/c I really like scary stuff like this book. There's a girl named Josie and her little sister, they move into the house with their grandmother. Their grandmother has creepy roles for the house though. 1. Never leave your windows open after dark. 2. No dolls in the house. 3. Never, ever go by the house in the woods. Josie always thought those rules were weird. Josie and her little sister go to school. Everybody make s fun of Josie but one day she makes a new friend named Vanessa. Everybody is afraid of Vanessa but Josie's not. Soon Josie and Vanessa figure out live next to each other. Vanessa's house is in the woods by Josie's grandmothers house. Josie and her little sister go to Vanessa's house and there are at least 100 dolls in the house. Vanessa gives Josie's little sister a doll and she takes it back to the house. They soon figure out that their grandmother is scared from Vanessa. But the grandmother is right Vanessa's mom and her are monster's who kidnap children and lock there souls into dolls. Will Josie and her little sister save the people who are stuck in dolls?

I think this book was good b/c it talks about Jack and his friends fighting monsters that have came into this world. Jack is a foster kid who is always leaving other families and joining more. He has this tree house where he stays most of the time but later makes it in to a castle. He and his friends battle to the end until all the monsters and zombies die. But they forgot about this super big one called blarg who is super strong but is blind at night time. I gave it a 5 star b/c if you like to read about action and people fighting this is a perfect book for you.
