Elska (Horse Diaries (Quality))

By Catherine Hapka

So I got this book when I was in 2nd grade and when I read this again, I felt too old for it. But I would recommend this for ages 7+ and for horse lovers. The pace skidded too much but the perception was detailed very well.

Milkweed (Random House Reader's Circle)

Milkweed (Random House Reader's Circle)

By Jerry Spinelli

Milkweed is about a young boy who grew up during the terrible time of the Holocaust, into a life of stealing and pilfering. When he is accepted into a gang of boys, he is named Misha, and his job continues; until one day everything changes. Bombs rock the town, Jackboots and their marvelous attire march the streets, and winter closes it's grip on the town. When the Jews are forced into a ghetto, he must steal during dangerous conditions to get food. And when disaster strikes, he must learn to survive on his own. This book was both heart- breaking and humorous; it was both terrible and funny to see the world in innocent little Misha's point of view. What really struck me was the ending, to see Misha struggling with his memories of the past. Like all other books on the Holocaust, Milkweed was (and still is) both sad and inspiring.

By Tanya Lee Stone

This book is really interesting! My mom collected barbies when she was younger, and it's fun to try to identify the barbies that she had with the ones in the book. I really like the pictures as well. I don't rate many books 5 stars, so that's something right there :)
