Dead City

Dead City

By James Ponti

I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how the mood and tone were very nice and smooth, the opposite of intense - whatever that is. Anyways, I found this book a really interesting novel to read, and can't wait to read the next one! I enjoyed all the characters and misadventures and misunderstandings. I really do recommend this book because I found it really exciting and great! I would like to thank James Ponti and everybody else who contributed to this book. My day would not have been made without it. Last but not least, I just want to say that, while I have read tons and tons of books, not many were as enjoyable and fun to read as Dead City.

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

Olive's Ocean (Newbery Honor Book)

By Kevin Henkes

I made a connection of how Martha Boyle is twelve years old and I'm about to turn twelve. A summary of this book a stranger knocks on twelve-year-old Martha Boyle's door and hands her a piece of paper. She identifies herself as Olive Barstow's mother, then she thanks Martha and leaves. Martha is startled because Olive was a girl in her grade last year who had recently died after being hit by a car. I give this book a three star star rating because the characters are a great part of this book, but at some points it would get sad.

So Far From Home: The Diary of Mary Driscoll, An Irish Mill Girl, Lowell, Massachusetts 1847 (Dear America Series)

So Far From Home: The Diary of Mary Driscoll, An Irish Mill Girl, Lowell, Massachusetts 1847 (Dear America Series)

By Barry Denenberg

I've never been a real big fan of history but, when I started to read this series in 3rd grade the book made me sad and feel as if I was in the story. It made me feel so many emotions and I started to read this series 3 years later- [now] -and I just can't stop reading them. I had just finished this book before we started to watch the Superbowl. I cried out when the book ended 'cause I loved it so much~! This one is about a girl who lives in Ireland. Her Aunt went to America one day and said she would bring the girl with her at one point. The way her Aunt described American made the girl ever so excited. In Ireland food was getting scarce and people were getting sick and such. When the girl [years later] was leaving for the boat she wished her parents a sad goodbye and got on the boat to set off for America. On the boat, it took such a long time to get to America. Sadly, some tragic things happened. It was alright though. In America, the girl lived with her Aunt and had much better living conditions. She also made some friends. But work was a bit harsh. Some more tragic things happen. In the end, the girl left for important reasons and it was ever so sad. It was a great book though and I highly suggest that you read. Also, you would probably like it if you like history and such.
