The Holocaust: An End to Innocence

The Holocaust: An End to Innocence

By Seymour Rossel

Have you ever known what it is like to be abused, and not treated like others, and even your family and friends killed? Chances are, you haven’t. The book that I will be talking about is a book written by Seymour Rossel called “The Holocaust” which is about the Holocaust. The Holocaust takes place in Germany 1933-1945. The overall focus of this book is Hitler's actions and basically what he's done. The first conflict in the book that I will be talking about is when Hitler starts to take action when he first started to get the jews to have separate things like separate bathrooms and being in the very back of the bus and things like that. And a second conflict I will be talking about is that all shops owned by jews were destroyed and robbed sometimes harming the owners or even killing them. One of the five interesting facts I will share is that Hitler actually got rejected from an art school more than once which lead his life to fascism. Another fact is that Hitler was once ordered to trim his mustache. A third fact is that Adolf actually loved Disney. A fourth fact is that Hitler was a vegetarian. And for the last fact I will be sharing is that Hitler's favorite actor only died in 2011. As a conclusion, I liked this book because it is very factual and goes through a timeline of Hitler’s actions and it is enjoyable to read. I would recommend this to more mature sixth graders and up because the book give you information about pretty graphic things that happened. This will conclude my book review.

Life of Zarf: Troll Overboard

Life of Zarf: Troll Overboard

By Rob Harrell

What do you think it would be like to be in a bunch of madness at sea? This is the book known as, Life of Zarf: Troll overboard, by Rob Harrell. Our main hero is Zarf, just an average middle school troll, and his friends, Kevin, and Sierra. Our setting takes place at sea, (most of the time), But at other times an Island and Zarf’s hometown (Can’t find name). The trouble starts at the end of a middle school day when Prince Roquefort decides he wants to go on a diving trip with Zarf’s grandpa because he had been sailing before, and he had magic beans he had lost at sea. So they go on the boat, and travel far out at sea. Prince takes Zarf to help him when diving for his beans and then it starts, they encounter a dump truck sized sea monster, it proceeds to strike at them. The large green serpent almost consumes Prince R., but Zarf, Even though he hated him, Took a hard whack at his nostril, and he swam away. But when they come to the surface, they lost the boat. So in a way to put it, They are stuck in a hurricane tide ocean. But Fortunately, They found Kevin (a really freaked out friend of Zarf who really likes Mutton Pudding), As well, they spot a island. So they literally swim in dangerously high wave ocean. And reach the island, it may seem like they are stranded, But they find a mer-pig, S’wella. She didn’t do much though. Zarf and Prince were getting very,very hungry. So they take the beans from Prince Roquefort, and about half an hour later Later, the seeds basically turn them into human trees, Prince’s legs turn into trees, and Zarf’s hair is covered in leaves and branches.Sometime later, Zarf is roaming the beach of the island, But suddenly, a short pirate comes out of the blue, and threatens him with a sword, They take the others and bring them to the dreaded captain redbeard. Who reveals a secret, she is Sierra’s forgotten mom. Ridinghood, They go on a new boat (a big ol pirate boat),and kevin notices s’wella in the ocean, she yells to pull her up, And so they bring her up. She warns them that the sea witch was coming. They keep sailing and they end up in a area where they encounter a pod of sea serpents. They shoot spittoons at the monsters, and one of them is the serpent from earlier, Zarf shoots it off, and the serpents leave, only to encounter something worse, The sea witch herself. Her red eyes glowed, tentacles flung everywhere, and then the horrid mouth opened, Sharp teeth, Horrible gums, and godawful breath, the monster assaulted the crew, all of the crew, Zarf got attacked, but had an idea. The beans from earlier had a long shot, but still a shot, of killing the witch. He chucks the beans into the loathful mouth of the monster, the minute it swallowed the beans, It went nuts. Its teeth cracked, It started screaming, bushes and vines and all sorts of plant-like features started growing on the beast, and then, the witch dies. The madness had ended. I really liked this book, It had a ton of lovable unique characters with a lot of action and comedy, I would give this book 8.9/10 because some parts were cheesy and were a little confusing and I didn't like prince roquefort, I think people who enjoy comedy and action and basically random fiction like this would be good to recommend to.

Camp 30

Camp 30

By Eric Walters

Epic Kids World War 2 Story. This Canadian, Action, Historical Fiction sequel to Camp X will blow you away. Eric Walters does an excellent job using characters new, old and fact to put a marvelous non-fiction setting and cool 1943 ish world into his story. Using 50% real characters and setting Eric balances fact and fiction to motivate readers to flip to the next page. The way Eric uses his storytelling skills you know that Jack and George are just pieces in a big game but they think they are only keeping their eyes and ears open. They think they are delivering mail but they are doing much more than that. They are aiding the Canadian army by spying on the Prisoners while aiding the Nazi’s as well. The boys will be tricked, befriended, betrayed and well naturally go on a big adventure from in and out of the Prisoner Of War camp: Camp 30. My favourite character is Little Bill because he is big and important and the boys are always like omg are we in trouble this dude is important. Overall Camp 30 the sequel to Camp X is an amazing book!
