When a homeless man meets 3 little children he teaches them how to survive by getting money and food. Soon he feels love for them and finally realizes something. I would recommend this book for ages 8+ Not bad book but needs some improvement for the pace.

This book surprised me from the very beginning! It was an excellent read, and - BONUS - it's a summer reading book! Fourteen-year-old Kendra feels abandoned when her parents leave her and eleven-year-old Seth at Grandpa and Grandma Sorenson's (who they BARELY KNOW) house while Mom and Dad go on a cruise. Mom and Dad say they won't enjoy it, but let's be honest kids, we all see through that lie. In the first couple of days there, several strange things happen. First of all, there are signs leading up to the entrance gate, the last one being the most disturbing: Certain Death Awaits. They aren't allowed to go into the woods or the barn. Dale, one his Grandpa Sorenson's few workers, leaves fresh milk in a bucket for butterflies. It turns out the playroom is only half of the attic! And what will they key-treasure-hunt lead to? When Seth gets bored and goes into the forest anyway, he discovers a witch living in a hut in the middle of nowhere. (Of course Kendra doesn't believe him-right?) When he goes back again he finds a giant hidden beautiful pond, with swans and the works! What was his Grandfather hiding? Kendra finally finds all the keys to open the mysterious journal...but it's blank? WHAT'S GOING ON? The only words are - DRINK THE MILK. Needing a guinea pig, Kendra retrieves Seth and tells him that the milk tastes amazing. Unless Seth's acting skills got a whole lot better without her knowing, this farm isn't what Grandpa says it is. Welcome to FABLEHAVEN! Land of fairies, witches, imps, naiads, trolls, and much much more! --BKS

STOP! THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE! Okay, now that I have your attention and you know this is serious business, I just read a spectacular book that blew my mind! Interested now? I thought so! Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse is one of the most deep and thought out books I've ever read; very emotional. This book is not a regular for most people, it wasn't my first choice either. It's genre is historical fiction. Believe it or not my little brother recommended it to me and I'd have to give it five stars! I really enjoyed this book and can gladly see myself and other readers looking to read more books like it and/or by the same author. This book is based on a true story. Hesse writes Out of the Dust in first person, allowing Billie Jo Kelby, the protagonist, or main character, to describe her life from the winter of 1934 thought the fall of 1935. Billie Jo describes her desolate internal and external landscape with a searing, brutal honesty. She narrates, in unfolding glimpses of story, a tale of death, destruction, dust, and the search for redemption. This incredible book is very much related to Come on Rain, by Karen Hasse! Karen Hasse didn't actually write Out of the Dust until three years after her trip to Colorado, when she'd already started writing Come on Rain. I'd recommend this book to girls and boys, anyone interested in historic fiction! To conclude, if you haven't already done so, read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, you won't regret it!

We read this book in my reading class and i liked it so that I was by myself and it was amazing so you should this book.

i like this book

Lea Clark is looking forward to seeing her brother after 3 years- Zac had been to college in Brazil! But the reunion isn't picture perfect. Zac is still treating Lea like a little kid, and they aren't getting along very well. Lea goes to the beach with her family-- nothing to be scared about, right? But after a bad incident with a big, salty wave, Lea is scared of swimming in the ocean. She finds she enjoys taking pictures of the water more than actually being in it! She meets a great new friend named Camila who attempts to help Lea get over her fear of the ocean. One day Lea goes hiking with Zac and her dad, and trouble strikes. Can Lea get over her fear of the ocean and prove to Zac she's more mature? I loved this book!! Even though it was more aimed at younger kids than 12-year-olds like me, I still loved the descriptive nature of this book as I took a trip with Lea to Brazil, a country of culture and fun!
