Kids Books - Historical

Magdalys lives in New York, where dinosaurs roam the streets and segregation still prevails. Magdalys is an orphan, and with her other friends, she stays in the Colored Orphan Asylum. There, she missed her siblings dearly, and was also bullied by the matron. One night, when the Crunks are performing The Tempest at the Zanzibar Savannah Theater, many orphans from the Colored Orphan Asylum are kidnapped on their way to the theater by none other than Richard Riker, the magistrate. On that same night, Magdalys notices that Varney, the orphanage's triceratops, seems to be listening to Magdalys, and replying by following her instructions, such as "go". Magdalys and the rest of her friends find refuge with the Dactyl Hill neighborhood, where they train dactyls and plan a way to rescue their friends before it's too late. As well as that, Magdalys strengthens her ability to talk to dinosaurs, which will help a great deal on their quest. Will they save their friends before it's too late? Or will they be gone forever? To find out, read Dactyl Hill Squad, which I give a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I love how dinosaurs were a major part of the story and how interesting/well-thought each character was. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good adventure and dinosaurs.

But when they arrive Samantha and Nellie find out that a ghost may be haunting the grounds and a thief may be lurking in the library! Can Samantha and Nellie uncover the secrets of Lockston Castle... before something precious is lost forever? I love this book!

I have not read this, but I am quite knowledgeable about the Second World War. The Americans realized that their messages were being intercepted by the Imperial Japanese Forces, and like any person would do, they made a code. They decided to use the language of the Navajo to get messages and important commands across the battlefield without being found out. The Americans were not fluent, mixing English in with the words. So, they let Navajo do all of the talking, letting them gain victory. They are mostly associated with the Battle of Iwo Jima now. In Florida, there is a monument to the Navajo Code Talkers. This book is a somewhat grim reminder that we should not look down on others.

This was a very nice short story! I loved it so much! Josefina is a great character and I really enjoyed reading about her family. I loved how Abuelita gave Josefina her mother’s skirt and how Josefina can’t help but dance when she listens to music. This was a very nice story!

This book really has some interesting facts about women I never have even heard of before, including Marie Antoinette, who apparently has some issues. This book is really fun to read because it always has something new to learn, even for the greatest queen experts.

I really love this book! In the book this mysterious boy came to Nanea's grandfather's shop. Nanea is the main character. He brought an empty sack and when he left it was full of stuff. Nanea thought he was stealing from her grandfather. She teams up with her friend to figure things out. I love the American Girl dolls too!

This book was really interesting. It is about a girl named Lydia who stays with a religious group of people named the Shakers, after her parents and baby sister die of the Spanish Influenza, a heart breaking disease which spread across the world very quickly because there were not enough doctors and medical equipment. Daniel, Lydia's older brother wants to run away and join the army. Will he choose to stay at The Chosen Land, the name of the Shaker;s community, or run away and leave Lydia by herself? Lydia learns to be simple, learn of Mother Ann's teachings, and love God.

When Annie was younger she loved hunting . But her did not like that . When her father died she knew she had to keep shooting and not stop because other people didn't like it. As Annie got older she got very popular she was in MANY competitions. And even found her soon to be husband in one! I thought this was a great story and I recommend all ages to read this book. I rate this book 5/5 stars - Pizzagirl7 💋
