O.M.G. I have been trying to remember the name of this book FOREVER! I read it at least 6-7 years ago and recently (maybe in the last 2-3 years) I remembered this book - but I couldn't remember the authors name of even the name of the book - but the plot stuck out in my head! I can't wait to go to the library, I hope they have it!!

In 1882 two year old Helen Keller became Blind an Deaf. In 1887 Annie Sullivan came to help teach Helen. She learned How to read, write, even speak properly! I'm her life time Helen wrote and published three books, she starred in a silent film, she even toured Japan! In 1936 her dead friend and teacher passed away one of the books Helen wrote was about Annie. This biography made me very interested in learning about Helen Keller and the amazing obstacles she went through with her head held high! Recommended for ages 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

Ben is staying in Japan in a town called Shogahama. It's where Ben's dad grew up. His parents announced they would be going on the trip but a few months after the announcement his father died in a car accident. Now they are going the trip without him and are going to stay with an Ojisan (uncle in Japanese) one day in the trip there's an earthquake that last for 5 minutes! (That's actually a long time.) Later they find out is had a magnitude of 9.03. Will Ben and his family survive the fourth-largest earthquake ever recorded in history and will they survive the deadly tsunami that follows after? Read the book to find out. I highly recommend this realistic fiction book about real life history. Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
