Boy in the Striped Pajamas (Japanese Edition)

Boy in the Striped Pajamas (Japanese Edition)

By John Boyne

I read the English version of this! Anyway, Bruno is a boy who is the son of a Nazi. He and his family move to Oshwitz (I don't know it is spelled, sorry) Well, come to find out Oshwitz is a concentration camp that his father, the Nazi, works at. One day, Bruno sees a barbed wire fence. Like a normal boy, he decided to check it out. And what he found was a half-starved, Jewish boy. Bruno and the boy become friends. Though their friendship was tested many times, the two boys stook together no matter their different lifestyles. Then one day, Bruno's sister was inspecting her hair and found out that she had lice! And Bruno had lice too! Bruno's sister got shampoo to help her, but Bruno (poor Bruno) had to shave his head. And then the idea hit him. The Jewish boy had no hair either. And to be honest neither did any of the other people in the camp. So, Bruno decides to find out what life is beyond the barbed wire. He jumps the fence of the concentration camp and meets the Jewish boy again. All is going well, under the circumstances, until an ear-piercing noise starts. Confused, Bruno asks the Jewish boy what the sound is. Frightened, the Jewish boy answers that whenever the noise starts people form a line and follow a Nazi. There, they are led to a gas chamber, and they die. I know this is not happy, but it is historical accurate. Bruno and the Jewish boy get swept up into the crowd of people going into the gas chamber and Bruno, although he is not even supposed to be in the gas chamber, is gassed with all the other prisoners. Although this book is heart breaking, it is very powerful. John Boyne forms Bruno in the story as an innocent boy wanting to learn. It was very sad, but I suggest it none the less as a good reminder of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering all the people who died because of it. It also shows the cruelty of the Nazis, but I appreciated the perspective of a Nazis. How their family felt about the whole thing. But, as I said before, it may be sad, but I think it is worth looking into reading.

One for Sorrow: A Ghost Story

One for Sorrow: A Ghost Story

By Mary Downing Hahn

One for Sorrow definitely sent chills down my spine. It is about a girl named Annie who moved to a new town where on her first day of school she meets Elsie. After a couple of days with Elsie, Annie didn't like hr at all. She was mean and disrespectful. Annie became friends with a group of girls that she liked much better. The only thing was that they would constantly pick on Elsie. Elsie ended up with the deadly Spanish Influenza. Annie and her friends went sledding in the graveyard and Annie hit her head really hard on a gravestone. At that point Annie had risen Elsie from the dead. Elsie made sure to ruin Annie's life. Annie had to find a way to get rid of her. In the end it was okay. If you like ghost stories and freaky things, this would be a great book for you!

Little House in Brookfield (Little House the Caroline Years (Prebound))

Little House in Brookfield (Little House the Caroline Years (Prebound))

By Maria D. Wilkes

I read both the original one and the adapted one, and both were great. This book is about Laura Ingalls's beloved Ma when Ma was a little girl. The series follows her life from a little child to a young adult. I suggest this for people who like historical fiction, "The Little House series", and beloved "Ma". I am sure that you will fall in love with Caroline and her family. This book is a mixture of home, polite humor, and the importance of family!

On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years)

On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years)

By Maria D. Wilkes

This one was my favorite Caroline book. It was so exciting, slightly humorous, and homey. Caroline's mother finally remarries to a man name Mr. Holebrook. Caroline and her siblings all try to get use to him and his stern ways. Henry, one of Caroline's older brothers, gets in massive trouble and Caroline learns responsibility that I think is admirable. I suggest this book for people who like Ma, family, and "The Little House series".
