I give this books five stars. I really love this books because it is about a kid nameed Marty and he is trying to protect a dog named Shiloh from his neighbor named Judd Travers and is trying to make Shiloh his. There are also some sad parts to like when the giant German Shepard was attacking Shiloh and they didn't know if Shiloh was going to live or not and there are happy parts to like when they heard thet Shiloh was alive so this book is very very awesome and really really heart warming so you should read it.

The Watsons Go To Birmingham - 1963
By Christopher Paul Curtis
A great book! Definitely a wonderful choice for readers of all ages. Kenny Watson, an African -American boy, embarks on a few adventures, but the real major adventure is when the whole Watson must go south to Birmingham, Alabama. Why, you ask? Byron, Kenny’s older brother had been stirring up a LOT of trouble, such as setting toilet paper on FIRE, and also straightening his hair, so Kenny’s parents think he should stay with Grandma Sands for a while, since Grandma Sands will not accept any form of trouble at all. While in Birmingham, the family notices some extremely discriminatory events (segregation), but the final straw is when a church near Grandma Sands’s is destroyed by a BOMB, so they all decide to head home, even Byron. This book is an awesome realistic-fiction, and it really cracked me up some of the time. Definitely recommended.

When the match race was about to start, Sun Raider kicked the Black and the Black started to bleed.

Island of the Blue Dolphins
By Scott O'Dell
I loved this book. Karana is such a strong young woman. She has that girly flare with the strength of a man. Could you imagine losing your family because your brother disobeyed? Then for him to turn and be killed by your future best friend? And you turn in rage and destroy your town that the men of your village built with their bare hands? You then suffer through the death of your best friend and capture his son? And, let's think here... could anyone here survive a tidal wave clinging to a slick rock wall? Even though we have the heart of lions and the pride of a dancing peafowl, I don't think any of us could have done it. But Karana did it. As she grew older and mature she became stronger, braver, and wiser. Her caution and creative abilities kept her alive on an island for 18 years. This is a story that will impact your life and make you want to really become like Karana. She is such a role model for all ages. What an amazing novel.

Holt McDougal Library, Middle School with Connections: Individual Reader Goodbye, Vietnam
By RINEHART AND WINSTON HOLT
Secrets are in the air. Water deep and gloomy, an old boat with wood that's rotting. Suspense as they boarded the boat. Worry that they would get caught before they set sail. Gloria Whelan is an American poet, short story writer, and novelist. She writes books for children and young adults. She won many awards such as the annual National Book Award for Young People's Literature in 2000 for Homeless Bird. Goodbye Vietnam by Gloria Whelan is not part of a series. This book is about a 12 or 13 year old girl named Mai who is from a small village during the Vietnamese war. When her community is threatened, Mai, who is one among many, steals away in the cover of night. Getting onto an old, crowded boat just to feel safe, She tries to escape with her family to a new world with towering buildings and a loud atmosphere. This book is a new favorite read! The main character Mai is in her early teens (12 or 13) yet her experience is so intense that she acts like an adult. The author uses her topic to escape and elaborates with many conflicts between the protagonist and the society, disease, and the forces of nature. She creates an entire persona for each character with a distinct personality. The author uses sentence structure in a way that you can almost live in the book through the sentences. Gloria Whelan brings many ideas and opinions into the short span of 14 chapters and leaves you longing for more. If you are a fan of historical fiction, action, escape, and refugees then this is the book for you! I recommend this book for ages 7-14
