The Story of Annie Sullivan: Helen Keller's Teacher (Dell Yearling Biographies)
By Bernice Selden
I decided to read it because it was going to be the book that would help with my biography report. It had great information if you ever needed to read or know about Annie Sullivan and her student Hellen Keller. It tells that Annie also grew up blind but eventually her sight got better and was sent to a foster home after the age of ten or eleven.
Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant
By Christopher Grey
I absolutely love this novel because, unlike most books, it starts of at an exciting pace. It's about this boy who think his master is mean, but he loves him anyway. Leonardo is in a struggle in painting the Last Supper, since he held it off for years. He then has to finish it in a month.
Woods Runner
By Gary Paulsen
I thought this book was truly incredible. Samuel was just a kid living the Revolutionary War time period when his parents got kidnapped by the British. Samuel went on a journey to save his parents. He met new friends like Abner, who helped a lot, and Annie, a sweet young girl who is now his sister. He has to do incredibly dangerous things to save his parents. It will leave you puzzled, have you on the edge of your seat, and touch your heart. You must read it.
The Case of the Missing Moonstone (The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Book 1)
By Jordan Stratford
This book is about two highly intelligent young girls, Ada and Mary, who come together to form The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency. Ada is gifted in math and science (book smarts) and Mary is gifted in noticing people's emotions (people smarts). Their first case is about a missing bejeweled acorn that was stolen in the middle of the night. The owner of the acorn, Rebecca, tells the girls that her maid, Rosie, had confessed that she took it, but was unable to give it back. Rebecca is positive that Rosie did not steal the acorn and hires Ada and Mary to figure out who did.
The Phantom of the Opera
By Gaston LeRoux
I really like that movie but I didn't read the book before. Does somebody know where can I buy that book?
Heart and Soul: The Story of Florence Nightingale
By Gena K. Gorrell
I admire her super hard work in making the hospitals clean and her kind heart in helping the wounded soldiers get better. it's very sad that she didn't have good health herself.
True Blue: Book Three of the Horses of Oak Valley Ranch
By Jane Smiley
I loved True Blue. It was an amazing story. You know the saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover"? Well it's true because despite how the book looks it's actually a mystery. I definitely recommend this book to all people of all ages.
Dracula
By Bram Stoker
Dias
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a classic novel horror based in the United Kingdom. I would recommend this story to people that enjoy horror stories. The beginning of this story entices the readers to read more. Not being a horror story fan I lost interest after the third chapter. This story is about the notorious Count Dracula, king of vampires, and Van Helsing the known Vampire hunter, and his group of comrades. For those that enjoy vampire stories this is one of the books you need to read, it introduces a new person that most vampire fans do not know about. You learn about Van Helsing and his understudy, Lucy western and Count Dracula.
Stolen Girl
By Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch
I didn't like this book. It was to easy to predict if you read WW2 books. It is all the same. War happens, the family takes her to new life, see loves it soo much more there. But still misses the memeories of Germany. She ends up being haunted by the war and can't forget about it.
The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club (Bccb Blue Ribbon Nonfiction Book Award (Awards))
By Phillip Hoose
It’s Odense, Denmark in 1940. Denmark has just been invaded by nazi Germany. Knud Pedersen, his brother Jens and cousin Hans Jørgen decide to create a resistance group. They decide to name it the RAF Club. My favourite character is of course the hero, Knud since the author writes about what Knud's thoughts were during each situation since this book was in collaboration with him. It clearly details everything in Knud’s remarkable journey. This books gives great insight on this remarkable story. Knud really shows how he did not like the brutal Germans and wanted them gone. I thoroughly recommend this book for all readers, especially tweens since they are mature enough to understand the story properly but learn about WWII in a story-like form.
