Black Beauty (100 Copy Limited Edition)

Black Beauty (100 Copy Limited Edition)

By Anna Sewell

The story about Black Beauty had been started when he was just a foal. He was described as a horse with black coat, along with the black mane. But once when he got older, he got sold to many different hands (people who works with horses) such like; Squire and Lady Gordon, Miss W--, Miss Anna, etc. Beauty also friends with other horses; Merrylegs, Ginger, and Captain. Even though this book is fictional but the way the author, Anna Sewell wrote about Black Beauty has just felt so real. I had really enjoyed this book and this book would be perfect for any horses-lovers. - Happy Reading!

By Phillip M Hoose

Author Phillip Hoose bringing the history of America which had started in 1600s-1700s. That book includes people like; Carrie Berry, Frederick Douglas, Kory Johnson, etc. When I had read this book, I felt like when I'm reading them about their life, it's like they are alive again. It's also truly shocking of how many people that I never heard of before had experienced the difficulties of war, starvation, etc. This book would be perfect for history-lovers or bookworms! - Happy Reading!

A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

By Linda Sue Park

A Long Walk To Water. One of my favorite books of all time. It's about a boy named Salva who had to escape war from his home in South Sudan. He walked miles and miles to refugee camps. (Fun Fact: Salva stayed in one of the refugee camps for 10 YEARS!) But the thing is he NEVER gave up. And that this is a true story! I believe Salva did not give up because of his Uncle's words. "One step at a time. One step at a time.". This book was very very very rich and loads of detail. I wanted to read more, but it was very short which I did not like. He also led a group of 150+ boys to a refugee camp. (Fun fact: Salva is still friends with some of them! They call them the "Lost Boys!") I seriously cannot express the way this book seriously changed my life. It made me realize what people in other countires must go through, and in America we have many riches, even if you live in an apartment. This book made me want to help. And I am, me and my class are raising money for Salva's organazation "Water For South Sudan". (He's alive and very healthy, he also owns that organazation.) Me & my class are going to help BUILD a well in South Sudan! I really cannot express anymore of my gratitude for this book. This book really truly opened my eyes. (Also, I watched a livestream with my class of Salva answering questions that kids from other schools sent in. It was very interesting, that's where I got those fun facts from.) (I know I didn't say much about Niya, the other character in the story. She's about the same as Salva, she opened my eyes and made me see what's REALLY going on in the world right now. It's tragic that people must go through these things.) (A very important fun fact: You pronounce Niya like this: Ne-ya. The author said this in the livestream, I thought that was important.)

What Were the Salem Witch Trials? (What Was?)

What Were the Salem Witch Trials? (What Was?)

By Joan Holub

This book was like the most unhappy book that I have ever read. The book tells you how the Salem witch trials started. At the end it tells you how the people who started it were most likely faking because what they "had" something like that happened to other people.

Who Was Albert Einstein?

Who Was Albert Einstein?

By Jess Brallier

I thought this book was obviously to inform you about Albert Einstein's life, but it was also very entertaining and enjoyable. This book is about how Albert's life exceeded. He was a shy one, but a huge intelligence span. He became famous in physics, and is now famous all around the world. I relate to this book because I am on the shyer end, and I enjoy physics. It is interesting to me and I would love to read another book about him. I rate it 5 stars because I enjoyed all the facts I got to learn about him and his life overtime.

Who Was George Washington Carver?

By Jim Gigliotti

I liked this book because it gives a good summary about George Washington Carver. It starts off with him being born, and his parents buying a slave, who they took good care of. Then it talks about his invention of peanuts. At the end it talks about his death. This is one of my favorite series of books. I think you should definitely read this book if you're interested in George Washington Carver.
