so this book is cool, it shows the struggles of Chinese in china too, in which many people don't really know that participated in well. its also shows struggles of the brave man. 10/10!

This book is about World War I. The hangman wants cute little animals. I really like the hangman because he is funny.

What if someone told you that time travel was possible; that you can journey to the past or venture into the future? The Time Traveler, whose name is never revealed, is an intelligent but extremely eccentric scientist who discovers that there are four known dimensions of space--which really only means that you can easily move up and down, left and right, forward and backwards, and through Time. As long as you have entire consciousness and speed, you can break its constraints move around it. And so the unnamed Time Traveler brings himself to the year 802,701--that’s 30 million years from his own time. When he finally finds his way to the future, he finds his home--London--to be gone. Every building that formed the city no longer stands--just structures that act as homes to a society of simple-minded and innocent creatures who call themselves the Eloi. But as he continues his stay with them, he notices strange things, things the Eloi won’t tell him about. Sinister ghost-like beings that come in the night --deep voids in the ground that lead into what seems like nothing, and why are the Eloi so deathly afraid of the dark?--but ultimately, no one tells the Time Traveler about what happened to the human race. Most science fiction books during that century--the 1800s--were centered around the entire idea of being able to travel through time, but H.G. Wells was the first to actually try to explain the science of moving through the dimension of duration. Most of you probably wouldn’t enjoy books written in 1895--that’s 119 years old-- but The Time Machine really is worth reading-- and its only a little less than a hundred pages long. You’ll find that the Time Traveler, especially, is one of the most interesting parts of the book because you get to understand the mind of a scientist--it makes you think like him when you look at the world. The Time Machine is a novel that stands the test of time and humanity. But if there’s one thing I didn’t love about this book is how Wells views the--truly haunting--fate of us. And he definitely deepened the meaning of The Time Machine with thought-provoking ideas people today haven’t really cared enough to think about--the idea that today’s problems such as rampant industrialization and especially class struggle, will carry on to the future even 800,000 years from now. And although it’s only fiction, the way Wells portrays the future can very well be true. The human race doesn’t end, of course--but something much worse happens; something inhumane. “It sounds plausible enough tonight,” says the Time Traveler, “but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning...for after the Battle comes quiet.”

This book really has some interesting facts about men I never have even heard of before, including Eric Bloodaxe, who was murdered by a rival monarch! This book is really fun to read because it always has something new to learn, even for the greatest king experts. And the Book of Queens is the perfect companion to this! You should read them both!

My reaction to the novel, Behind Rebel Lines by Seymour Reit is that I am overall impressed of what Emma Edmonds was capable of and what she had done to help the Union. A shocking event that happened in the story was that after about two years of serving in the union army as Franklin Thompson, she had gotten malaria and couldn't serve as a nurse anymore. I would recommend this book to sixth graders and above.

That looks like an interesting book to read

At my old school, i had a teacher ( we're friends ) and we'd have this book club just us two ad we'd talk about books. ( this was in 3rd grade and i was and am a good reader). she recommended this book and i just loved it. I actually think i read the adult version. But either way i LOVE this book. Def read it

A great one if you like men in history who stood up for what the believed in, defied gravity, and did other amazing things. I loved it! 5 stars!

We gave this book at a baby shower and my mom has read this book to me, when I was little, many times. The illustrating is incredible and the speech MLK gave was amazing! I loved every bit of it. I highly suggest it for any age!

I loved this book. It proved that you don't just have to live in the United States to do great things!
