In 1882 two year old Helen Keller became Blind an Deaf. In 1887 Annie Sullivan came to help teach Helen. She learned How to read, write, even speak properly! I'm her life time Helen wrote and published three books, she starred in a silent film, she even toured Japan! In 1936 her dead friend and teacher passed away one of the books Helen wrote was about Annie. This biography made me very interested in learning about Helen Keller and the amazing obstacles she went through with her head held high! Recommended for ages 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

Lydia "Lyddie" Worthen, a young girl in 1846, about twenty years right before U.S. Civil War had began. Her mother, Mattie, who you would sometimes see her letters to Lyddie but not so often had died later in the book. Her sister, Agnes, also died, too. Her another sister, Rachel, and her brother Charles "Charlie" who Lyddie seldom talk about but mostly about Charlie more than Rachel. Lyddie, who was only young girl when she decided to go out of her home, earn some money, send some back to her mother for the debt when her father had left. Her friends, Diana Goss, Luke Stevens, Prudence Allen, etc. This book is inspiring but sad book. This tells that even though if you lost someone or something very valuable, just keep on going, no matter what. - Happy Reading!

The book I read is called "Elon Musk Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future". The book was written by Ashlee Vance. The photographs were done by so much people such as Allison Saltzman, Art Streiber, and Melinda Vance. The book is nonfiction and is a biography with 416 pages. Elon Musk is a famous inventor and entreprenuer. As of today, he designs new Tesla cars and plans on sending rockets into space. As you read the book, you will find his failures and the success he received during his life. A lesson Elon Musk learned was that he should never give up. For example, when he was selling his roadsters, not much people bought it. Musk later decided to make a new design called the Model S. Musk advertised it and people decided to buy it because of the new improvements and features compared with the other cars. A lot of people would have probably given up, but Elon Musk decided to keep going until he claimed success. In conclusion, I would recommend this book because it tells you how he was an average business man then became a very successful entreprenuer. One unanswered question I would like to ask the author is if you can make an updated version on Elon Musk.

So funny!!!!!!

Gulliver's Travels gives an account of an Englishman (Gulliver, of course) who goes on voyages but is very unlucky. He meets (famously) Liliputians, the small people; Brobdinagians (the big people); Laputans and Balinarbians; and Hounyhnms, the virtuous talking horses. Through these travels, Jonathan Swift, the Irish writer of satire, weaves in criticisms of the world during the 18th century, criticizing the following: Whigs, Hanoverians, people from the Netherlands, and Europeans. It is interesting to read all the brilliant sarcastic ways things are allegorized in this book. The sheer absurdity of some events was diverting too. For example, LIliput battles its rival, Blefuscu based solely on the "correct" method of cracking eggs, and Gulliver urinates on the place in a noble attempt to put out a fire, and is promptly sentenced to blinding and slow starvation. Of course, you will have to read the book to realize all of its brilliance. But as this book does not have dialogue, only long monologues without even quotation marks, and because the sentences are long, and semicolons put in at strange places, this is not so quick to read. This, I know, will detract from the reading experience of some. But if you are prepared, you should read these pages and bask in its deep glory, irony, and wit. I especially recommend it to people who like reading classics or are prepared to think while they are reading. Lastly, I recommend that you read it with some footnotes to understand political references, such as the Sterling Edition, which also has good printing and large font.
