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.

Sink or Swim by Steve Watkins is a great book about WW ll. Colton, the main character, enrolls in the Navy in his older brother, Danny's, place. He goes through many events that no thirteen year old should ever have to go through. He meets some other guys named Straub and Woody who later all become friends.

If you are a person who is interested in war books and you like books that can have sadness, fear,anger and other mixes of emotions, then I would definitely recommend this book to you.

Dragonhaven

Dragonhaven

By Robin McKinley

Dragonhaven is about a young boy who lives at the Institute in a national park. This particular national park had dragons in it. Jake is the boy's name, and he is finally going on his first overnight solo in the park. On this overnight peculiar things happen. Jake mostly remembers the mother dragon and the baby dragon. The baby dragon ends up with Jake. As the evening goes on the night of the solo Jake is found by Billy, a ranger. Then the real adventure starts when Jake becomes a junior ranger to hide the baby dragon. I connected this book to when I babysit because my siblings are always needing something. I rated this book four stars because well it was good it got boring when he talked about the history of the national park.

Big Nate: Silent But Deadly

Big Nate: Silent But Deadly

By Lincoln Peirce

Book Review by Abcdefghijklmnop - Do you like comics? If so you’ll love this book. It’s filled with comics, sports, and hilarity. I read Big Nate Silent But Deadly, the author is Lincoln Peirce. Big Nate is fiction. Nate is the main character. This book is about Nate and his adventures. There are many problems but here’s one of them. Nate is sitting in class and his stomach starts growling. The other kids crowd around Nate and make fun of him. Read the book to find out what happens next. I give this book five stars because it was really funny and I love comics and sports. My favorite part is when Nate and his friends test his sense of smell and put a blindfold on Nate and turns out he can identify anything by smell. I recommend this book for 6-11 year olds because that’s when I started reading the series.
