Chasing Lincoln's Killer

Chasing Lincoln's Killer

By James L. Swanson

I thought this book was very interesting. This nonfiction book tells everything about John Wilkes Booth's plan, the actual attempt, and the escape plan. The whole book (especially the escape) is in so much detail that it feels like you were actually there witnessing everything! It is also amazing how the author went into every single piece of evidence to support the text itself. My overall review is it is the best nonfiction book there is.

Regarding the Fountain: A Tale, in Letters, of Liars and Leaks

Regarding the Fountain: A Tale, in Letters, of Liars and Leaks

By Kate Klise

BVP

Regarding the Fountain, by Kate Klise, is a funny book. He problem is when the water fountain does not work then they need a new drinking fountain, but they don't have any water left. Then they need to get a water fountain but they need to find out where all of the water went. The characters are different from other books because this book has many funny characters, and usually books only have one or two. For example, one of the characters goes all over the world for stuff for the fountain and gets a lot of crazy things like one flower all the way from Africa. The characters have funny names like Dee Eel, Sam N. and Wally Russ. Another reason the book is so different and unique is because it is written in letters instead of narration and dialogue. Most of the kids liked it in my books club. If you like funny books, you will like this book.

Although I have never read this the title makes no sense.

Small Steps

Small Steps

By Peg Kehret

Sense I can't find the version I read, I'll review this. This was a very touching story about a girl with polio. I think I would have been much more scared for her if this hadn't been an autobiography, because it is so suspenseful in a terrifying way. Peg Kehret, a girl living in a time that polio frightened everybody, falls down one day, and can't feel her legs. She discovers she has more than one kind of polio, which terrifies her. She is taken to a hospital far away from her family, and throughout the story, she moves from hospital to hospital. This is really sad, but such a good book. I would recommend for ages 9-12.
