How to Talk to Girls

How to Talk to Girls

By Alec Greven

OK this book is not ok for little kids and I think boys should have this book come in handy. But I just wanted to see how its like so ya. (fun fact) this book was first wrote on paper by a 4th grade boy, and the news spread and his paper writing turned into a book. And he made a how to talk to dads and a how to talk to moms book and I think he should make a how to talk to siblings book. But I enjoyed this book but it was not really ok for little kids. So I think I'll rate this book a 4 star.

Alabama Moon

Alabama Moon

By Watt Key

The author of Alabama Moon is Watt Key. Alabama Moon is about a boy and his Pap living "off the grid" an Alabama forest. He is hiding from the government which is trying to find them. Pap has always told Moon that the government is horrible but Moon doesn't understand why his Pap says that. When Pap dies and Moon is left to make his own decisions of what is right and what is wrong. This is a very well written book. I liked this book because I've always thought about what it would be like to live off the grid and with no civilization. Also I had a hard time putting this book down because there were so many things that would leave you wondering, what's going to happen next. This book is realistic fiction. There are a lot of people like Moon and his Pap today who live off the grid and hate the government. I would recommend this book to a middle school student. The type of reader that would enjoy this would probably be someone to enjoy action and someone who is a naturalist. In the story an example of an internal conflict is when Moon is in the woods with Kit. Kit becomes sick because he didn't take his medicine. Moon is kicking himself because he realizes that he should've brought Kit's medicine into the woods with them. Moon thought that everything that anyone would need could be found in the woods but, with Kit's medicine Moon realizes that this is not true. An external conflict throughout the book is man V. man. This is apparent when Moon faces Constable Sanders. Sanders hates Moon a lot and does everything he can to hurt Moon and get him back into a boys home or jail.
