STOP! THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE! Okay, now that I have your attention and you know this is serious business, I just read a spectacular book that blew my mind! Interested now? I thought so! Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse is one of the most deep and thought out books I've ever read; very emotional. This book is not a regular for most people, it wasn't my first choice either. It's genre is historical fiction. Believe it or not my little brother recommended it to me and I'd have to give it five stars! I really enjoyed this book and can gladly see myself and other readers looking to read more books like it and/or by the same author. This book is based on a true story. Hesse writes Out of the Dust in first person, allowing Billie Jo Kelby, the protagonist, or main character, to describe her life from the winter of 1934 thought the fall of 1935. Billie Jo describes her desolate internal and external landscape with a searing, brutal honesty. She narrates, in unfolding glimpses of story, a tale of death, destruction, dust, and the search for redemption. This incredible book is very much related to Come on Rain, by Karen Hasse! Karen Hasse didn't actually write Out of the Dust until three years after her trip to Colorado, when she'd already started writing Come on Rain. I'd recommend this book to girls and boys, anyone interested in historic fiction! To conclude, if you haven't already done so, read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, you won't regret it!

"Call me Ishmael" Ishmael is a young school teacher he meets a man name Queequeg who is a Cannibal he befriends Ishmael and they set out to work on a boat named Pequod to harpoon whales for oil, and a various amount of other things. The Captain - Ahab - is crazy and has swarm vengeance against a White whale named Moby Dick. Moby Dick bit Ahab's right leg off. The story follows them as they hunt and hunt and hunt for the whale. It's a little slow sometimes but the twist ending really got me! Recommended for ages 10+ a definite classic Thanks for reading - Ajg16's reviews

I loved this book. Karana is such a strong young woman. She has that girly flare with the strength of a man. Could you imagine losing your family because your brother disobeyed? Then for him to turn and be killed by your future best friend? And you turn in rage and destroy your town that the men of your village built with their bare hands? You then suffer through the death of your best friend and capture his son? And, let's think here... could anyone here survive a tidal wave clinging to a slick rock wall? Even though we have the heart of lions and the pride of a dancing peafowl, I don't think any of us could have done it. But Karana did it. As she grew older and mature she became stronger, braver, and wiser. Her caution and creative abilities kept her alive on an island for 18 years. This is a story that will impact your life and make you want to really become like Karana. She is such a role model for all ages. What an amazing novel.

Malia knew that destiny had found her when she found The Babysitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea; a group of girls making money and babysitting kids. Making money AND hanging out with your best friends? That sounded like a deal to Malia. Plus this would help fund an AMAZING joint birthday party for the friend's 13th birthday. The little kid part sounded okay, but who really cares that. Teaming up with her best friends, Bree and Dot, the girls form a club "BAD Babysitters" more known now as "Best Babysitters". A rocky website, candy, and challenging kids are all part of the Best Babysitter's first time. But then a horrible thing happens. Chelsea, Malia's big sister, forms a club "Seaside Sitters" that also babysits as well as gets a HUGE number of jobs, has a fancy website, and is stealing all of their business! Now for the Best Babysitters this isn't just a babysitting crisis: it's a war officially! Sabotages, jobs, and mistakes all face the Best Babysitters. Will they take back the business and have an amazing 13th party? Overall, this was a fun and easy read that anyone would enjoy. Happy reading!

In this novel by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge gets a visit from three spirits, The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come. Before this, though, coldhearted Scrooge gets a visit from his nephew, and at the door to his home, he sees the face of his deceased miser friend, Jacob Marley on the doorknob. Ebenezer is terribly frightened. Marley's ghost tells Scrooge he is getting a visit from the three spirits. Ebenezer is greeted by the ghost of Christmas past. Here, Scrooge sees himself as a schoolboy, at a ball with Mr. Fezziwig, and with a dear love. When the ghost of Christmas present arrives, he sees Bob Cratchit and his children, Martha, the young ones, Peter, and Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim is a cripple, with his tiny body supported by an iron frame, and a little crutch. Now, when he is visited by the ghost of Christmas yet to come, Scrooge sees his own gravestone, and tiny Tim's family weeping, because the poor boy dies. But, Ebenezer is prepared to change, and Tiny Tim lives, and 'God bless us, every one!'

Okay okay. I know that this is obviously something that doesn't belong in my book list. But I just read it to my little sister and wanted to review it. I would definitely recommend this book for 7-8 year olds (younger if you read it to them) I think it's a cute book that has a rhyme on every page. My sister definitely enjoyed it.

In old houses, under the floor, live tiny people called Borrowers. The borrowers don't bother to make stuff like beds or spools of wool or safety pins. Instead, the Borrowers create their furniture using "borrowed" items from "human beans." There aren't many Borrowers left. One Borrower family, composed of three, lived in an old house in England. The father was called Pod, the mother Homily, and the child Arrietty. Arrietty isn't like other borrowers. She doesn't want to spend her entire life cooped up in a house, seeing the sky only through tiny glimpses through the grating. Arriety wants to live outside, under the blue sky. But girls are usually not allowed to go on borrowing trips through the house. After many days of asking, Pod finally gives in and allows Arietty to come. On the trip, Arrietty is seen by a human boy. He agrees to keep their secret, but what will happen when more people find out?
