This story is about three children and one dog who have the adventure of a lifetime. Jenna is just a regular pheasant girl-until she starts having visions of the future. After she protects her Gwen, the dog and also a saint, who happened to come back to life after years of death, she is put on the wanted list and goes on the run. Jacob is a Jewish boy who can heal any wound. After some teen thugs set fire onto the Jewish part of town, he goes to try and finding his parents. William is a dark and very large young monk, who has supernatural strength. He sets off to deliver a set of books to another monastery after he is kicked out of his own. When the children meet they join forces, and set off on an incredible adventure, full of danger, nobility, and conflict. This was a very interesting medieval tale. There were so many little details about life during that time period, you could tell the author researched a lot. I also liked that there were relatable problems in the book, even though they were in a different century. Problems dealing with race, prejudice, and religion were throughout the book. I have never read a book like this before. Each chapter was told by a different narrator, and it was told in the sense that the storytellers were at a pub, just sitting around, telling their part. Sometimes it was confusing, if you didn’t pay attention the the title you didn’t know who was speaking. For some people I am sure that it would be pure frustration and they would give up almost immediately. Somehow for me though, it worked. I liked knowing the story from different points of view, and for most of the book they are telling it after it has already happened. I also thought the illustrations were cool. The way the book was formatted was that there were larger margins, and all the drawings were stretched along side the words. Sometimes the pictures made sense, or like the illustrator warns us at the beginning they are random, and are like a doodle book. I recommend this book to older elementary students and middle school students, especially those who enjoy reading about medieval culture. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

OMG! This book is super good. It melted sense, but not really. Warning: if you want to read this book, there will be spoilers ahead. Anyways, Janie is a partially normal girl who lives in the U.S., in California. One day, there was a black car following her. She asked her parents about it. Then, her parents basically told her they were communists, and that the government was watching them. Also they were going to have to move to the U.K. So they move, and they get a pretty run down place. Janie starts going to school there, and meets Benjamin Brussels, the apothecary's son. Pretty soon, Benjamin asks her on a 'chess date'. Turns out it was for spying. Janie, who had sometime in the beginning of the book gone to the Apothecary's and heard Benjamin and his father arguing. Benjamin never wanted to be an apothecary. As the book goes on (sorry, I'm going to skip a bunch) they find out that the avian elixir works, three amazing scientists figure out how to stop/contain the atomic bomb, and they meet a pickpocket in jail (that's a long story), and they stow away on a bpboatat, being invisible. So pretty much, this book was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

In life sometimes it is hard to speak up when you are sad or mad.In the story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros a girl named Rachel who’s birthday is today and she is turning eleven. At school she has a problem with her teacher ( Mrs.Price) ;She found a ugly sweater,and asks who’s it is. Everybody says “ Not Mine!” And then Rachel is accused that the sweater is hers. “Eleven” teaches me that sometimes it is hard to let go of things that made you mad. This is very hard for Mrs.Price,Saliva,and most of all Rachel. My first reason is hard for Mrs.Price because she does not accept that it is not Rachel’s witch makes her mad. In the text it says ‘ ‘’Rachel, No more nonsense But it’s not-now!!”. The text also says “ But the worst part is right before the bell rings for lunch. That stupid Phyliss Lopez,who is even dumber than Syliva Saldivar, says she remembers the sweater is hers. I take the sweater off right away and give it to her,only Mrs.Price pretends everything is okay.”This shows that Mrs.Price could be a little more kind. My second reason is that Sylvia needs to worry about herself because she blames that the sweater is Rachels. In the text it says “ Maybe I’m to skinny,maybe she dos not like me that stupid Sylvia Saldivar says “I think it belongs to Rachel”.The text also says “That she makes Rachel feel bad’’. This shows that Sylvia should worry about herself. My last reason is that Rachel needs to calm down when she is mad/sad because when she is sad she starts to overreact a little. In the text it says “Not mine,Not mine but Mrs.Price is already turning to page 32,and math problem number 4”.The text also says”But when the sick feeling and I open my eyes,the red sweater is still sitting on the corner of my desk like a big mountain’’. This shows that Rachel needs to calm down when she is sad/mad. As you can see,the characters in “Eleven” have a hard time speaking up. They go from quiet,to mumbling to talking.From now I am going to make sure if I need to talk,or if somethings not mine.Maybe sometimes it is hard for others to speak up because they are used to being quiet.This proves that Mrs.Price,Saliva,and most of all Rachel needs to take a deep breath.

In life people will want you to do things you don't wanna do. In the story ‘’The Other Side’’ by Jacqueline Woodson clover wanted to play with the people on the other side of the fence but her mom and friend Sandra didn’t want her to. Luckily it didn’t stay that way forever. ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say. My first reason for this is that when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence, And when her friend told her not to play with the other girl (Annie), And lastly when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. My first reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence. What i mean by this is if she had listened to her mom she would have never met Annie. Also if she would have took her mom’s advice the whole book would have never of happened, and there wouldn’t be a story to tell about this. I know this because in the part clover starts explaining where she lives and it says ‘’And mama said, Don’t climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasn’t safe.’’ This shows that if she would have listened to her mom she would have never got to play with Annie. My second reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her friend Sandra told her not to play with Annie. What i mean by this is when they were playing jump rope and Annie walked up to them and asked to play but it says ‘’And my friend Sandra said no without even asking the rest of us.’’ This shows that Sandra probably said no because she didn’t want clover and the other girls to play with Annie. My final reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. If she would have listened to her mom and just stayed inside she might not have got to introduce herself to Annie. In the part that this happened her and her mom were going back and forth about her playing outside on that rainy day and it says ‘’ Mama wouldn’t let me go outside in the rain.’’ This shows that her mom hasn’t really been a help to their friendship. And it is also a good thing that she didn’t listen to her mom.

This book was really good. I can relate to the main character, Bob, because he has a younger sibling. Bob and his family just moved in to a shady town with gangs and rude neighbors. Just as they settle in, Bob gets bullied by a group of bad kids. His dad is a preacher and is trying to repair a abandoned church. As they get to know their very strange neighbor, she seems nicer than what people say. Bob's family learns not to judge people by the way they look, and that this town isn't as bad as they think. I recommend this book to people who love realistic fiction and Christmas books.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The world and the news were on fire. You were probably alive when this happened. Titan and the Wild Boars (The True Cave Rescue Of The Thai Soccer Team.) Written by Susan Hood and Pathana Sornhiran, illustrated by Dow Phumiruk. Published in 2019. Titan and the Wild Boars is dramatic, fun, outstanding, and very well written. Titan and the Wild Boars is about a Thai soccer team getting stuck in a cave. After practice the team decides to go exploring in a cave. They have already explored the cave before, so they thought it was safe (bad idea.) It started to rain, A LOT and the cave was flooded with rainwater, which was NOT good. They were stuck for 18 days! Through some deaths and tears...the boys and coach made it out alive. After the cave incident, the team went to the hospital. They were given food and water. I mean, 18 days without FOOD, I can’t even go 1 minute!!!!! Some water was clean and dripped down from the ceiling, and that’s what they drank! But through all of that… they are still alive. My favorite part of this story is all the heroes, but I have more. I like the heroes because they risk their lives for 19 people! One person even DIED for them. All of them tried so hard to try to find and rescue the team. When divers found them the world rejoiced! NEWS: They found the boys! We do not need to panic! Thank you for the Navy, and more for trying to find them! Then the worst part of the story happened…(But you have to wait) The illustrations were amazing! Also props to the authors of the story. If you are in upper elementary school, middle school or for an easy read in high school, there is a book called Rising Water. This book gives you more information about the story. (GET A TISSUE FOR THIS PARAGRAPH) The most memorable part of this story is Saman Kunan, because...he...died. (I know it’s HARSH) You see Saman was a Navy SEAL diver and volunteer. He was going looking for the team. With his partner. Let me remind you that it’s pitch black in the cave. Close your eyes for a second...that’s basically how dark it was. Even their lights barely helped! So if you lost something, you LOST IT. Well Saman didn’t lose a sandwich he… lost…his...life. I KNOW IT’S HARSH. You see he was looking for the boys with his partner, and his mouthpiece fell off. His partner tried to help, but he fell unconscious. Before he fell unconscious, he and his partner tried to find the mouthpiece. But… it was lost, he died at around, one am, on Friday, July 6, 2018. This was the first time the world stopped spinning. Not actually. But, it did feel like it. After the boys were rescued Titan’s relatives made a picture of Saman. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Make sure to pray for Saman Kunan. For we all shall meet in Heaven. Titan And The Wild Boars is fun, sad, jeerful, and very well written. I recommend this book to lighthearted people because to read this book you need to not get sad easily. I DO NOT recommend this book to people who can’t take sad things because as you know someone does die. Also if you get scared easily DO NOT read this book! Don’t forget that, 1. There is another book for upper elementary school st, middle school, and high school students, and 2. You were probably alive when this happened. HOPE YOU ENJOYED!!!

Bloody Jack was a totally unique and thrilling story of an orphan girl abandoned on London's streets to fend for herself. Her name was always "Jack". It used to be Mary. But that was before her mother and sister died and she was cast out onto the streets and found and sheltered by Charlie's Roosters. Then she became "Little Mary". When Charlie is brutally murdered, Mary runs away. She's always dreamed of a life at sea. But girls aren't exactly allowed on His Majesty's royal Navy, so Mary becomes Jacky and so begins The Deception. I absolutely adored reading every coarse and breathtaking adventure Jacky experiences and I highly reccomend this book to teens who love a good journey at sea.
