Pollyanna (Oxford Children's Classics)
By Eleanor Porter
The main lesson in this story is to try to be glad when your sad. First, when the Glad Game was harder for Pollyanna it would be more fun! Pollyanna would always play the Glad Game when she was sad. Pollyanna even helped other people who are not happy or are disappointed to play the Glad Game. Second, she even taught Nancy ( a maid ) how to play the Glad Game! When Pollyanna wanted a toy doll in a care package from the ladies aid, but instead got crutches, she was blue. So her dad taught her how to play the Glad Game! At first, Pollyanna thought,¨ How could a silly game help me find a way to be happy about these crutches?¨, look at her now, she´s spreading the game everywhere! Third, she finally figured out how to be glad about the crutches! ( The book never said how? ) Finally, I would recommend this book for 5th grade girls because the book taught me to try to be glad when I´m sad, and if you read the book, I hope you will try to! Pollyanna is a tremendous book! I would read Pollyanna again!!!
Johnny Tremain: Classic Edition
By Esther Forbes
I had to read this book for school, and thought I wouldn't like it because I usually don't like newbery honer books. To my surprise this is actually a pretty good book. If you like the revolutionary war or historical fiction I recommend this book.
The Once Future King
By T. H. White
I'm enjoying this book so much, I am sure my #1 grandson will love it. As the cover indicates, this book is considered "THE WORLD'S GREATEST FANTASY CLASSIC". Though I've read many books and stories about "King Arthur", often referred to as "the Arthurian Legends", I'd never read TOAFK until now -- so I never realized how much wonderful HUMOR is woven throughout the book, along with belief-defying magic, coming-of-age adventures and character-building insights. I give it two wrinkly thumbs up and challenge my #1 to READ THIS BOOK!
Out of the Hitler Time: "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit", "Other Way Round", "Small Person Far Away"
By Judith Kerr
Ace2002
These 3 books are amazing, you wont be able to stop reading them. Anna tells you what its like to be a refugee in the 2nd World War and what happens afterwards. The 2nd book is also called Bombs On Aunt Dainty. I advise that you search both of them. You may look at the cover and say " That's not for my age", then you're wrong! For anyone who likes reading books about the war, then this is your style. It is very accurate on the war and i reccommend anyone who reads novels to read this.
The King's Fifth
By Scott O'Dell

Jack and Jill
By Louisa May Alcott
Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott is a 24 chapter fictional book about two friends. They have small, lighthearted adventures over the course of one year. I really enjoyed connecting to the characters on a personal level, seeing myself in them more than once. If you've read A Wrinkle in Time, this book is similar in writing style. My favorite part about this book is that the characters make mistakes and learn from them. It makes them more relatable. I would highly recommend this book to kids who are reading the classics, who want to read a fun short story, or are learning about different sentence structures. From 0 to 10, I give this book a strong 8.
The Old Man and the Sea
By Ernest Hemingway
I think the book The Old Man and The Sea is a very interesting book as it tells the story of struggle between wanting something, but at the sametime doesn’t want to hurt it. The old man went on a journal to hunt the biggest fish, throughout his journey, he came across different kind of difficulties and realizations. I like this book because it gives a feeling of both loneliness and the at the sametime mysteriousness of the magic power of sea. The best part is that the old man's words are often really deep that you need to think over, and I really like the feeling of the way it was written. It also gives a feeling of the calmness when you stare at the sea. I recommend students in 3rd or 4th grade to read it, but I think even if you are a high school student, this book will be interesting to you too.
