The author Steve Sheinkin tells the tale of an event happening 160 years ago in this meticulously researched nonfiction book; he delves into the world of body snatchers and counterfeiters and relates the story of a plot to steal Lincoln's body and hold it ransom. The story goes: Ben Boyd the noted counterfeiter is arrested, so the boss of the ring, Big Jim, hires a team of counterfeiters, including Terrence Mullen and Jack Hughes, to enact the body snatching plot. Yet Patrick Tyrell of the Secret Service is notified, and he promptly hires Lewis Swegles, famed horse thief, to act as a roper, ie, a spy. The story progresses as Swegles gathers information about the plan and Secret Service agents prepare for the planned date of the event. Written in a conversational style and including many interesting quotes from Tyrell's notes and the characters themselves, this book tells an engaging story and has straightforward language; it is also quite informative. This book is an example of good narrative nonfiction, and it's a great book for people of all ages.

This book is very good.In this book it teaches you how it would be, to be a young girl growing into a woman during the Islamic revolution. During this revolution you can see and notice how she changes during the course of the novel. She grows not only by age but also by maturity. Soon she realizes what is going on and she steps up and helps. You get to see all of this with her and even though it might be a sensitive topic it is still very good though. Make sure you get yes as an answer because some scense have vilence and cursing .

Red Scarf Girl by Ji-Li Lang is a historical memoir about the cultural revolution when Chairman Mao was in charge. Everyone under Mao's rule was brainwashed to think Mao was the best people who held on to old tradition were to be punished and anyone who had any relation to a person with a job that was frowned upon was to be jailed. Overall it seems like it could be an interesting story but I don't like how the story was built. It was hard to follow and it was honestly kind of boring. I do recommend it for people who are very serious readers and don't care if something is a bit boring. I think this book is for people ages 10-12.

Aza Holmes has never been in or sought out the limelight. She lives in an ordinary world in ordinary Indiana in ordinary modern-day America. The only thing hindering her is her thoughts: her germaphobia, her constant mental battles, her desperation. Other than that, she has never been of public interest. But when best friend Daisy urges Aza to visit Davis Pickett, a childhood friend, after a scandal about his billionaire fugitive father Russell Pickett, Aza's life is about to be changed forever. After years in the shadows, her life is suddenly thrust into insanity between juggling a reinforced friendship and maybe more with Davis, accused negligence from Daisy, trying to find her morales, anti-socialness caving in on her, and her ever-spiraling fears. A heartbreaking story about change, fear, and love, "Turtles All the Way Down" by the brilliant John Green cannot be prevented from being in the limelight of fans for generations.

This book is so meaningful. It's down to earth, but at the same time, I can't imagine anything that Anne went through happening to me. Anne is a real girl during the Holocaust. She lived a regular life, and then WWII started up. Her family and several others were forced into hiding to avoid concentration camps, commonly known as Nazi death camps. Hitler was insane and prejudiced against Jews. He felt that their religion was an excuse to treat them horribly. Anne's and several other families hid in a storehouse, which was owned by a friend of their's who was not a Jew. As Anne pours her heart out to her diary, which she calls Kitty, we can feel the weight of thousands of people on our shoulders. We weep for those who were lost in WWII and those who lost loved ones. Anne go's through her teenage years hidden away, years she should have been able to spend with friends. Hitler started a war, and then, after generations of lives were lost, he killed himself. This book would be a hard subject for kids under 4th grade to read. Thank you.

I chose this book because it teaches others how it was when it was in the 1960. , u didn't know how it was back then. I would recommend this book for kids 3rd grade and higher due to the language they used to colored people and some chapters that are not good for kids 3rd grade and up.

This book... This book is such a beloved classic for such good reason. It was so full of imagery and brilliant plot that I was sad to reach the end. One thing I will say though, is that Avonlea seems just a little too perfect. Aside from the one disaster and some minor scrapes, everything happens so that life flows idylly. Other than that, the book was written splendidly with lots of care. Even though this book is suitable for readers of all ages, there are many profound quotes and little gems that may not be picked up by a younger crowd. It just refreshes and makes me happy every time I read an "Anne of" book because they're so wholesome and gracefully written. The author, L.M. Montgomery is a literary genius. I can't wait to follow Anne along on her journey.

I like this book because it shows us that dogs can be useful in battles, and for police officers. This book is good for information about dogs being in the military, because they can sense hiding bad guys. I recommend, this book for people who like to learn about military dogs, and why they have dogs.
