Alexander Graham Bell An Inventive Life, by Elizabeth Macleod, tells that a difficult childhood doesn’t mean an unsuccessful adulthood. Alexander Graham Bell had a bad childhood, with his two brothers being infected with TB, the eventual death of them, and Alexander Bell not being a good student. He was born in Great Britain in 1847, but after ten years, the family had to move to America. Alexander Graham Bell became a teacher and a professor. Later, he invented a lot of things, such as the levitated boat and the telephone. He also had trouble proving he had invented the phone, but in the end, it made him famous. He died in 1923 in Canada and is a great example of somebody having a successful life after a troubling childhood. I recommend this biography for boys and girls, grades third to fourth.

The Borrowers, by Mary Norton, says that good things can follow with bad things and the other way around. When Mrs. May’s brother was a child, the Clock borrowers lived in a strange old house with Mrs. Driver, Crampfurl, the gardener, and a little curious boy. The Clock family included Pod, Homily, and Arrietty. Borrowers are mini-versions of people which borrow everything, even their names. The borrowers have been able to keep out of sight for a while, because any borrower who sees a human is never seen again. However, Arrietty won’t listen. She met the boy, and found out that he was friendly. This began a “golden age” in their borrowing. Every night, the boy would give them things. However, soon Mrs. Driver found out about the borrowers and asked the rat-catcher to get rid of them. Luckily, the borrowers escaped by “emigrating” to Uncle Hendreary’s house, two fields away. I recommend this story for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.
