Katfish (The Creature from My Closet)

Katfish (The Creature from My Closet)

By Obert Skye

I liked this book a lot, (I've read the three first books) but what they did with Katniss, I didn't. They kind of made a goofy mix-up between Katniss and the Little Mermaid, and Katniss is anything but goofy. The story-line was good, though. It's kind of like Big Nate.

Ishi: Last of His Tribe

Ishi: Last of His Tribe

By Theodora Kroeber

I am so glad books like this exist. Without Ishi, I would not have known what life was really like for the Yahi when the Saldu (white man) showed up. I love the details of Ishi's life in Northern California, and I also feel terribly depressed when I read about the demise of his tribe. A very important book for young readers studying California Indian history.

A Girl Named Disaster (Glencoe Literature Library)

A Girl Named Disaster (Glencoe Literature Library)

By Nancy Farmer

Clancy G

“A Girl Named Disaster,” by Nancy Farmer was an exciting, thrilling story that caught my attention and won’t be forgotten. The main character takes you on the adventure of a lifetime but is not too far from real life. Nhamo, the main character, has a hard time living in her village, always feeling on the outside. Her mother was killed by a leopard and her father is nowhere to be found. No one will tell her anything about her father and where he has gone, she doesn't even know if her parents were married. When she has to be sacrificed to a cruel man who already has three wives, she doesn’t know what to do. Her grandmother knew what she had to do, Nhamo had to run away with little information on how to survive in the wild. She must follow hard directions to try to find her father. She steals a boat, and is swept out into a large lake. She will battle drowning, starvation, wild animals, and the mystery of what lies ahead. The gripping adventure and spirit of the main character turned the story into a must read. One reason the story was unforgettable was how realistic it felt and how you could really connect with the reading. It made you feel like you were following the girl the whole time being able to relate to the smallest things like loving the feel of the ground after you got off a long boat ride. The detail just made it better making you able to feel exactly how she felt at that time. You were able to feel the pain when Nhamo heard news that broke her heart and enjoy some of the things we take for granted. This thrilling adventure took you somewhere you never thought you would go. This is a must read and will teach you something about the African culture.
