Kids Books - Historical

cool

Historically inaccurate. Shumel would have been killed immediantly at Auchwitz, (Out with.) And the fence would be more secure and Bruno would be more aware of what was going on as a German child. The ending was rushed. It was like, boom, they died, the end. The ending had no meaning to it. However, the book in some ways were good. It was slow paced, very. But worth a read I would say.

This is an amazing book! I went to the Library and got almost all the books! I wish I could fins all of them, I couldn't find 9 and 10. But other then those it's amazing!

This book was a very confusing book. If you want a book that is a fast and a easy read, it is not this one. One the other hand, if you want a book about Ancient Rome this one is perfect. It has many historical events and cultural universals that were the same in Rome. It also takes great intrest in the way Romans lived. My opinion of this book it that it was to hard for kids my age to read. I would much rather read a different book on Rome that is more interesting and has pictures. Overall I think this was a good book for older people and that I think kids my age shouldn't read it.

i like the book

The slave, Thomas wants to be free from the ranch. He and his sister, Birdie, have suffered way too much. One day they leave and get rescued by the Union who helps them throughout the trip. But now, the Confederacy has got them surrounded in the battlefield of Gettysburg. Will Thomas and his sister survive this battle? You have to read it to find out.

This book might be my favorite of the Little house series. But I have not finished the series yet. Laura Ingalls' life is way different then what we have to do now. They has different ways of doing everything. They also drank milk straight from the cow. I would do that if the milk was cold but the milk is actually 90 degrees when it comes out of the cow. But Raw milk from the cow is actually very good for you because when they pasteurize it they are taking out all the good nutrients that we need. You guys should check into drinking raw milk. We get ours from a local dairy.

This is only THE greatest book ever. OK, so there's this girl named Ida. She absolutely loves school(which I can relate to). Anyways, the teacher's mother gets sick, so the school has to close. Which means Ida and her best friend Tom don't get to take their exams, so they can't go into high school the next year. Going to high school means everything to Ida, and she just has to take that exam. To her, the world would probably be over if she didn't go to high school. So then Tom has this brilliant idea: Ida could become the teacher. Ida hates the idea at first but then, she and her fellow classmates take a vote of Ida should be the teacher so then they voted her in. But they have to keep the school a secret. One day, a school inspection person comes in, and figures out about the school. She agrees to keep the school a secret, but the children all have to take the exams since Ida is not a certified teacher. So then one of the students, the one that is the troublemaker, hadn't come to school in a while so she went to see him. The boy's father then tells the school board about the secret school. But then the boy walks to Ida's house to tell her about the school board meeting (which, by the way, she wasn't supposed to know about) and she goes to the meeting. She stands up for the school and they decide that it couldn't do any harm to let them continue the school until the exams. They do, so then after everybody takes the exams and everyone except the troublemaker passes. But Ida still isn't sure that she'll be able to go to high school because her family has to have enough money for her to board somewhere. But then the inspection lady says she will let Ida stay at her house for free. So Ida and Tom go to high school and all is well. Ravi is such a great writer. I read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle but The Secret School was so much better.

It was.one of my favorite books of all time and would highly recommend this.

Just like her book "Speak"...this one is another good one for that one rainy day when you're all alone. I'll admit...it was a little long if you jusdge a book by its size but it was worth the hours to read. A heartfelt, drama, and comedy all wrapped into one. (Psst: Finnegan is so smooth...i cant...lol)
