The Thrifty Guide to Ancient Rome (The Thrifty Guides)

By Jonathan W. Stokes

I love this book because it makes learning interesting. It gives you the feel the feel of someone from the future and is a mix of fiction and nonfiction.

Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)

Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)

By Charles Dickens

I'm halfway through the novel right now, & I've got to say, it's amazing! So far, I've heard about how the French Revolution is ongoing, while the story revolves around the following characters - Dr. Manette, a man who has been driven insane due to his immoral imprisonment for 18 years; his daughter, Lucie Manette, a lovely young woman who inspires & gives hope to those around her; Charles Darnay, the virtuous son of venal French aristocrats who is persecuted in both England & France; Madame Defarge, a cruel yet cunning agent who silently weaves a complex web of victims; & Sydney Carton, a failing, alcoholic lawyer who is still able to reveal a love filled with both allure & tragedy. Simply fascinating... :D

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle

125 Animals That Changed the World

125 Animals That Changed the World

By Brenna Maloney

I actually won this book from DOGO, and I read it over and over! There are so many cool stories! My favorite is when someone left a cat in a library drop-box and the librarian took it in as the library’s mascot. (It is on the last page you can turn to, bottom left) I TOTALLY recommend this book!

Through My Eyes

Through My Eyes

By Ruby Bridges

If I'm being honest, this was a truly mature book. It was not your everyday, boring biography. This was actually quite entertaining! In this book, Ruby Bridges explains how she felt, going to William Frantz Elementary School, in the harsh 1950's. She did this to inform the readers about her perspective, and she wrote this because she wanted to inspire the next generation of readers. I liked this book because of the in-depth look of what her 1st grade year was like Ruby Bridges gives to the readers. I would recommend this book to 5th to 7th graders due to the mature topics that are in this book. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

The Hiding Place

The Hiding Place

By Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth Sherrill, John Sherrill

To think that children are abused in this day and age as they think - but not as bad as the Jewish children had it. I cannot begin to imagine the pain the children in World War II experienced... ✡️Corrie ten Boom sucks you right into the story and you never want to put it down - no matter of whether it is non-fiction or not!

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

By David Stabler

This book is a really relaxing and fun read. It tells about what the presidents were like when they were kids. Some of the presidents had ordinary lives that weren't the most fun to read, but others I was stuck laughing on. Plus the pictures are great graphic ones. My favorite story was the Ulysses Grant one where he was going to buy a horse, but made a mistake that cost him money. You learn so much stuff about what life was like in different times and it's really interesting. This book didn't take a long time to read, but it was sort of fun just to look through the stories, so if you want a quick read that is totally worth it, this book is for you!

The Thief of Always: A Fable

The Thief of Always: A Fable

By Clive Barker

In this book, Harvey and Wendall are two kids who are really bored, and are taken to a house during holiday. They discover that the house has magic. They try to escape the house, but discover that everything in the house are illusions, including the people. Every day in the house was a year. Another character, Mr. Hood, is trying to persuade Harvey to become his Apprentice by giving him what he desires, but Harvey refuses. The book is interesting, it can be scary with lots of weird creatures. But, this may be a good experience for readers to inspire them to read fantasy titles. Fantasy books are special. *Warning* there is some language in this book...but it is still a good book.
