Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow

By Susan Campbell Bartoletti

I liked this book because of all the topics addressed including manipulation, politics and war. she also made a good point about how they had to un-brainwashed kids. Hitler once said “ I began with the young ones, the older are all used up” this quote represents the subject matter of the book. Miles

The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary: How Greg Heffley Went Hollywood

The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary: How Greg Heffley Went Hollywood

By Jeff Kinney

You've probably seen tons of movies, but how were they made? How did that superhero punch through that wall? Where was that scene filmed? How did they make a movie with all those kids? In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie, lots of work was put into the film. Just how did they make the movie? If you want to know, then read this book! This book is great for you if you watched the movie and wanted to find out more about it.

A Year Down Yonder

A Year Down Yonder

undefined

Mary Alice, age 15, feels very sorry for herself when she is put on a train by her parents (because they need to get a smaller house where there is no room for her) during the economic slump after "The Great War" (WW1), to live with her grandma (a woman known for being very active and having a gun) in a small town where everyone knows everything. I would recommend this book to age ten and up because it has some parts that are better for older kids (A painter tries to paint the post lady while she has not clothes on, and then a snake falls on her because the painter's studio is in the attic, and the post lady runs back to the post office screaming without her clothes on, and there is also a tiny bit of romance).

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

By Mark Twain

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is my favorite book. Tom is a mischievous young boy who gets into all sorts of trouble. He has a big crush on a new girl named Becky Thatcher, and would do anything for her. He witnesses a grave robbery and murder with his friend Huck Finn. He even runs away with his friends and people assume he's dead. Tom can always talk himself out of a scrape, and can even get kids to take his punishments AND pay him! This is a wonderful book about a fun and daring childhood.

Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez and Her Family’s Fight for Desegregation (Jane Addams Award Book (Awards))

Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez and Her Family’s Fight for Desegregation (Jane Addams Award Book (Awards))

By Duncan Tonatiuh

I think this book is a great push for anti- racism. In this book the Méndez family fight for segregation. They tried to enroll 5 kids in a school. 2 white kids got in, but 3 Mexican kids didn't. The Méndez family constantly asked why, but wouldn't get a answer. But after a year of fighting, they got justice. I liked this book because it showed me that segregation is cruel, mean, and unfair. I really liked the style that the author used to draw pictures with in the book.

Kid Scientists: True Tales of Childhood from Science Superstars (Kid Legends)

Kid Scientists: True Tales of Childhood from Science Superstars (Kid Legends)

By David Stabler

This book is amazing , It talks about many famous people and what happened in their lives. Also this book just made me want to read and read every single minute. I would defiantly recommend reading this because it makes people wan to read more and more .And this is good not just for reading but for knowing more facts about other people in the past or present. I think the theme of this book is don't judge a book by it's cover because on the inside they might change the world. Also another theme might be don't let anyone dull your sparkle because if you have great ideas and they stop you they are just jealous of you. All in all if you like reading books that give you more facts then this book is for you!
