Vietnam #2: Sharpshooter

Vietnam #2: Sharpshooter

By Chris Lynch

Good book. It is a sequel of I Pledge Allegiance and is in another point of view. This time, it is the military man of the group of friends. For example, his family watches and commentates on the news like a normal family would commentate sports. This one is in Ivan's point of view.

this book is a great book for kids who like war books but are not at the reading level of adults. The storyline is great and very interesting. I highly suggest this book for people who like action.

Hearts of Stone

Hearts of Stone

By Kathleen Ernst

I like this book there are a lot of things going on, but not too many that you don’t know what's going on. The ending is my favorite part although it is very sad. I recommend this book to people who are a little bit interested into the Civil War but also a little bit of realistic fiction and drama.

Tom Angleberger strikes again! Horton Halfpott is a fun book, it keeps you thinking. After I read Fake Mustache, I thought that Tom Angleberger writes really well, so I picked this book up. It was, like Fake Mustache, awesome! He is very creative in his writing, and I’d read one of his books anytime. The characters in this story are very funny. I’d have to say M’Lady Luggertuck has a very unique personality. Lately, I’ve been choosing books by their covers. So, I looked at who did the cover art and it was Gilbert Ford. Then I looked at the other two books I checked out and it was… GILBERT FORD! I love his artwork. It’s just so unique and quirky the way he draws. And for this book, there were also illustrations of the characters by Tom Angleberger. His drawings are quirky and cool. So, who stole the Luggertuck Lump? Find out in Horton Halfpott!
