Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters (Spanish edition): Las bellas hijas de Mufaro: Cuento popular Africano (Reading Rainbow Book)
By John Steptoe
Even though I am in 5th grade, I did read this book. It was an book that has a deep meaning but it was written using simple words. There are so many chapter books I'm looking forward to read, like the book I am in the middle of: The Land of Stories, The Enchantress Returns, but sometimes, picture books are so meaningful, so it's still fun to go back and read picture books. I'm saying a lot of stuff, I know. This was like, another version of Cinderella, but they made the morale a little different.

Never Say Die
By Will Hobbs
My book is took place in Alaska and it is about a kid who is 15 years old. The begging is about him hunting and he runs into a poler Bear/ grizzly and it rips his baged full of meat off. Also the book is called never say die witch is made by will Hobbs he also wrote down the river. The books setting takes place in mountians and lakes. The protagonist is the main character and the antaginist is his brother. One magor conflict is the 15 year old thinks he needs his gun and the brother is a no shoot kind of person. Another is whether the main should stay or go. The turning point of the book is when they land and need to make camp to go down river and the main wants to make up for the other incident. I liked this book because it was adventurey and dident have the most complex plot ever. Also he does not like the trip at first but gets to liking the expirents.

Camo Girl
By Kekla Magoon
I recently read the book Camo Girl by Kekla Magoon. In this book, a girl named Ella lives with her grandmother and mother. Her mother is only home on weekends because, she works the rest of the week. Ella's father died a few years ago. Ella's face is light brown and dark brown, that's why the kids tease her and call her Camo Face, or CF. Her only friend is Z. Z is very smart and also lost his father, his father left Z and his mom. When a new boy, Bailey moves to town Ella becomes friends with him when he is the only other African American kid in their school. Z starts to get jealous, and Ella must decide on what to do about it. She must also decide to stay friends with Z, or start hanging with the other kids. I thought this book was very sad, but I liked it even though it almost made me cry. If you don't like sad books, I would not recommend this book to you. The genre is realistic fiction because people actually have this skin condition and the events in this book could actually happen. Someone who would like this book, is someone who enjoys books about social rankings and bullying. Both of these things happen in this book. It is more of a girl book, so I wouldn't recommend it to boys, but they may enjoy it. This book is mainly a man vs self because, Ella is debating herself on sitting with Z or the other kids. Overall, I loved this book even when it was sad and totally recommend.
