The Phantom of the Post Office (43 Old Cemetery Road)

The Phantom of the Post Office (43 Old Cemetery Road)

By Kate Klise

This was a really great addition to the 43 Old Cemetery Road series. It is the fourth book in the series and personally one of my favorites. Something mysterious is happening in Ghastly. The age of letters is coming to an end and the post office in shutting down. There is something in mailbox 5 writing letters to The Spence Mansion and calling itself and phantom. But the end may lead to a shocking secret, and envy. Also, the boy makes and new friend. This book is mysterious and exciting at the same way. Told in transcripts, newspaper clippings, letters, and pictures, it will leave you one the edge of your seat the whole time.

Nzingha: Warrior Queen of Matamba, Angola, Africa, 1595

Nzingha: Warrior Queen of Matamba, Angola, Africa, 1595

By Patricia C. McKissack

This diary is written by a 13 year old girl named Nzingha she is a West African princess. She always wants to go hunting with with her father but he and the others who help him lead day tell her it is not proper for a princess to hunt (not fair!). One day Nzingha hopes she will be queen - when she a little girl her mother took her to a woman named Ajala for a reading, Ajala told her mother that Nzingha was destined to be the leader of three village Ndongo - and really believes she would make a great queen and she also believes her brother is weak and would not make a good leader. This was not my favorite Royal diaries book because it seemed shorter then the others. Recommended for 12+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate

By Jacqueline Kelly

If you read the first book you know that Calpurnia is the only girl of seven children. And that she wants to be a scientist. If you haven't read the book I just told you the main parts :) In this book Callie discovers that some people think that just because she is a girl she can't be what she wants to be. Can Callie convince her family that girls can do great things to? I liked this book better than the first one.

Three Pennies

Three Pennies

By Melanie Crowder

What would you do if you lost the only family member you had? What would you do if you found out your mother didn't want you? You’ll have to read T hree Pennies By:Melanie Crowde r to find out more. Marin is a foster child that has gone from home to home, the couple of things she takes with her from home to home are her Three pennies, Her small copy of the I Ching and her piggy bank with a single dime inside. She's been trying to find her mother her whole life, she has one last chance before she loses her forever. One of the only memories of her mother is laying the grass on her blanket and her mother's head blocking the sun for hitting her head. Marin travels from foster home to foster home before possibly finding her forever home. This book will put you on the edge of your seat! Poor Marin was put into the foster system when she was just four because her mother abandoned her. Her mother is the antagonist in this story. How would you feel if your parent abandoned you when you were just four and still hasn't made an effort to see you in seven years. I’d recommend this book to 6-8 graders, it's a very sensitive topic and kids that are younger might not understand the things marin goes through like, Bouncing from foster home to foster home and not having a mother.
