LTNM is another war story by Iain Lawrence. Unlike B for Buster, which is totally HF, LTNM has a little bit of "magical realism" in it, where parts of the plot seem magical in some way. Anything by Lawrence is extremely well written.

This book provides lots of info about warships and the time period that they were used in the world. It also shares which ones might be monuments now.

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.

Wonderful book based on the author's real experience as a young teenager during the Holocaust. The story is graphic at times, but to tell the true horrors of this horrific event, these graphic stories must be conveyed. Great book to see just how unfair things could be and the grace in which to handle such adversity. (Religion is of course at the basis of this book. Elie does question his fate as it is happening.)

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

this book looks totally interesting!

It was so good. It was intresting and gave tons of great detail of the holocaust and you felt like you were right beside her the whole time. It also had a great story plot behind such amazing book. But I wish it was just a little bit longer and was not a short reader.

Looks good!

I am in the process of reading L. M. Montgomery's Emily of New Moon. Emily's sweet father just died, leaving her to the mercy of her mother's family, the Murrays. Emily, shocked and heartbroken, wants nothing but to be with her father again. But instead she is taken into Aunt Laura (the sweet one) and Aunt Elizabeth's (The stern, no-nonsense, plain, sensible one) home on New Moon. Emily slowly warms up to her new environment, and discovers the pain and joy in having friends. I love this book because Montgomery is such a beautiful writer, the very one who wrote Anne of Green Gables. Her writing flows like a river! I hope you liked this book as much as I do.
