The sparrow is the antagonist because it has diamonds and jewels all over it which makes people want to steal it because it’s really valuable. People in his Brand new store are trying to steal the bird and have to find out who's trying to steal it. And another conflict is that there’s more than a couple people in the store. They start to find out who is trying to steal the bird towards the ending of the book. The turning point is when they have enough clues to find out who the thief is.

Stella by Starlight by Sharon M. Draper is about a girl named Stella and her journey as a young black girl in town inhabited by the KKK. She has to always be wary, on edge, and faces many hardships and unjust events. Throughout she remains strong and helps support her family through the tough times. I really liked reading this book even though it made me sad to think that this rascism still happens today. It made me wish that everyone could just accept each other and hold each other up like they do in this book. I would reccomend it to lovers of great historical fiction.

This book, based on a true story, takes place during the civil war, when a bunch of mill workers, young and old, are taken from a southern mill, and shipped of to Georgia. The main character, Hannalee, promised her mother she would return. And so we follow Hannalee on an amazing journey as she gets bound as a servant, escapes and flees to find her brother, Jem. together, Hannalee and Jem travel back to their home. This story was touching, and showed the unfair treatment of the mill workers taken from their homes, I found it very memorable.

Rolling Thunder is a nice book that honors the military service. A boy is going to a memorial that honors the dead military people, and for the boy it is his grandpa. This is a nice book that teaches us to respect the military service and honor them.

Mary Alice and Joe thought they where going to have a normal summer with their perfectly normal grandmother. Wrong. So wrong. There grandma might as well be the craziest grandma anyone could ever have. And the kindest. And the funniest. And the trickiest. Although Mary Alice and Joe are a long way from Chicago everything is going to be okay as they learn important lessons and make friends. My brothers and I laughed so much when we read this book for school. It is really funny.

I don't usually like history-type books, but this one seemed fun. The bonus? It was about doughnuts, one of my favorite topics. It was fun to learn about the history of doughnuts. It also taught me that people can play different roles in history.
