Based on a true story, Eva and her sister are forced to spin thread for the German soldiers and as they struggle to put up with the hardships she finds unexpected help in many places. But every passing day feels like the threads that hold her family together are falling apart and each day gets more treacherous.

I thought this book was very interesting. This nonfiction book tells everything about John Wilkes Booth's plan, the actual attempt, and the escape plan. The whole book (especially the escape) is in so much detail that it feels like you were actually there witnessing everything! It is also amazing how the author went into every single piece of evidence to support the text itself. My overall review is it is the best nonfiction book there is.

read this novel for school. a classic ww2 book, but a little unreasonable. a grown man falling in love with a twelve year old girl? not going to happen.

Sense I can't find the version I read, I'll review this. This was a very touching story about a girl with polio. I think I would have been much more scared for her if this hadn't been an autobiography, because it is so suspenseful in a terrifying way. Peg Kehret, a girl living in a time that polio frightened everybody, falls down one day, and can't feel her legs. She discovers she has more than one kind of polio, which terrifies her. She is taken to a hospital far away from her family, and throughout the story, she moves from hospital to hospital. This is really sad, but such a good book. I would recommend for ages 9-12.

it is about a little boy who has been home schooled because he is scared people will make fun of him because he has had a lot of surgery done to his face then he he go to school and............................you should read it

Very good book. Lots of details but a little bit mature. Recommend for grades mature 5-8. I read in 5th.

2 years prior to this story Mary has scarlet fever, she became blind. *Now* Mary is leaving her home and family to go to a school for the blind. There she meets two other girls (her roommates) who are also blind and they really make Mary feel at home. She misses her family so much especially her sister Laura but she knows that is she doesn't want to be a burden to her family she needles to learn to take care of herself. I think this was a good edition to the Little House series. Recommended for 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

In this book, Countdown, Franny is living through a scary time in our country’s history; The Cuban Missile Crisis. My favorite part of this book was the nuclear air attack drill. I liked it because it was suspenseful and I was on the edge of my seat! This is a realistic fiction chapter book. The main character is Franny. She is 11 years old and lives with her mom, dad, sister and brother. Her dad is a pilot in the military. Franny is a normal 11 year old girl. She likes to read Nancy Drew books, pick out fancy headbands, and complain about her bossy sister and how hard her life can be. I really enjoyed this book because it takes place during a time of history that really interests me. I did a research project on John F. Kennedy. He was President during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I first learned about this scary time in U.S. history while working on my J.F.K. project. Countdown was a great book. You should read this book, especially if you enjoy history
