I think this is a very interesting book. It shows you should always love yourself. Genesis is a young girl who doesn't love herself. She complains about her skin color (How she thinks she's to dark) and gets picked on about it. Two girls made a list about her that says 100 Reasons Why We Hate Genesis. Even though it only went up to 60, she continued it to 87. She has a father who drinks and she hates that very much. I love this book.

I liked this book, I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I was a younger age. I'd recommend the book to 4-8 year olds since it's more of a childish tale. I did enjoy the book though, it is about a girl name Imogene who is a princess. She does not like being a princess and often finds herself at the pond. One day, she is there and a frog comes up to her and tells her if you kiss me I will become a prince, without thinking she does it. Overall I think you should read this book if you are between 4-8

I've seen the shows and read the entire book. I love both! Great read!

Oh. My. God. I didn't read this series since last year, because over the summer I was too busy playing. :/ but now I remembered..... it was the best book EVER. This book was mostly about the Heap Family. They had a/the seventh son of the seventh son, which makes him really powerful. I'll give spoilers at the end. :D I sorta forgot what the book was about, so I'll give away Spoilers now. OK, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT A SPOILER! So, Boy 19 (or whatever it is) is Septimus Heap, not that Darke apprentice. Oh, and Jenna is the Princess (you should already know that) and a spoiler from the next book: Simon becomes evil, and runs away. I won't give anymore spoilers now.

Colibri, by Ann Cameron, is a heart-wrenching story of a young 12 girl who is kidnapped from her parents and then forced to travel with a thieving, cruel, cold-hearted man she must call “Uncle.” Set in modern day Guatemala in the aftermath of the Civil War, ‘Uncle” and “Rosa” travel throughout the country begging and stealing, never staying in one village very long. “Rosa” does not know who her parents are, or how to find them, since she was only 4 years old when she was taken from them. She does remember the loving nickname her mother gave to her, “Colibri,” “hummingbird” in Spanish, a beautiful symbol of fearlessness and strength. In one village, Colibri meets a wise old woman who changes her life. The woman helps Colibri see she is living with a “divided heart” and must choose who to love and trust and how to find a better place in the world. Colibri must find her voice and face her greatest fears without letting them completely engulf her. I really loved this book, but it made me so sad to learn about another girl’s suffering and fears. And yet I was inspired by her determination and strength.

Magdalys lives in New York, where dinosaurs roam the streets and segregation still prevails. Magdalys is an orphan, and with her other friends, she stays in the Colored Orphan Asylum. There, she missed her siblings dearly, and was also bullied by the matron. One night, when the Crunks are performing The Tempest at the Zanzibar Savannah Theater, many orphans from the Colored Orphan Asylum are kidnapped on their way to the theater by none other than Richard Riker, the magistrate. On that same night, Magdalys notices that Varney, the orphanage's triceratops, seems to be listening to Magdalys, and replying by following her instructions, such as "go". Magdalys and the rest of her friends find refuge with the Dactyl Hill neighborhood, where they train dactyls and plan a way to rescue their friends before it's too late. As well as that, Magdalys strengthens her ability to talk to dinosaurs, which will help a great deal on their quest. Will they save their friends before it's too late? Or will they be gone forever? To find out, read Dactyl Hill Squad, which I give a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I love how dinosaurs were a major part of the story and how interesting/well-thought each character was. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good adventure and dinosaurs.

awesome book

Boys Without Names by: Kashmira Sheth For eleven-year-old Gopal and his family, life in their rural Indian village is over:.We stay, we starve, his Baba has warned. They flee to the big city of Mumbai in hopes of finding work and a brighter future. Gopal is eager to help support his struggling family until school starts, so when a stranger approaches him with the promise of a factory job, he jumps at the offer. After he took the job he figured out why that was a bad decision. There is no factory, just a small, stuffy sweatshop where he and five other boys are forced to make beaded frames for no money and little food. I liked this book because it was very in depth but it was also sad how he tried to earn money for his family and now he is a slave. The type of reader that would like this book is someone who likes a sad story but a good story. The genre realistic fiction.

I have not read this, but I am quite knowledgeable about the Second World War. The Americans realized that their messages were being intercepted by the Imperial Japanese Forces, and like any person would do, they made a code. They decided to use the language of the Navajo to get messages and important commands across the battlefield without being found out. The Americans were not fluent, mixing English in with the words. So, they let Navajo do all of the talking, letting them gain victory. They are mostly associated with the Battle of Iwo Jima now. In Florida, there is a monument to the Navajo Code Talkers. This book is a somewhat grim reminder that we should not look down on others.
