"A Picture Book of Amelia Earhart" by David A. Adler, tells the story of Amelia's life and aviation dreams. Even from a young age, Amelia Earhart shocked people. At first, she wasn't interested in airplanes, but later in life she became fascinated by them. After her first airplane ride, she became determined to fly. It was dangerous, and she crashed many times. In 1928, she was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, but she thought she could do more. She flew across solo in 1932 just like she planned. She becomes world famous, and flying around the world becomes her biggest goal yet. To find out what happens, read the book! This book was a great way to learn about Amelia's life, and I loved the pictures that helped me visualize what was happening in the story. Amelia's life in inspiring for everyone because it shows what women can accomplish.

This book is absolutely amazing! I really like reading it. I would recommend this book for Horse Lore lovers. So far its about a kid named Galwyn who escaped from his abusive uncles cargo ship to work for Lord Atos; a horse deliverer. Galwyn goes through a big adventure and learns to take care of horses. I love this book so far. This book is something you would want to read on rainy day.

This was the... BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!! This is definitely for young adults because of some suggested content (If all you older kids know what I mean "wink wink") . Over all this book had so many twists and turns in it with Love-hate relationships and forced marriage, poison and Allies. This is definitely my favorite book and there is a second! This is definitely for Book nerd because it consists of like 560 pages. Most of the people I know (like me ) Have read books with way more pages. But anyway Please PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!!

Great bedtime story It is an adorable entertaining bedtime story. It has beautiful illustrations and a funny storyline. I am sure many children and parents will enjoy this book. Worth the price. Highly Recommended!

This book's genre is mischievous behavior and it was written by Annie Barrows,and Sophie Blackall. Once upon a time Bean was at her friend's house. Then her mom tells her that her older sister, Nancy will be babysitting her for the afternoon. Bean sneaks her best friend Ivy into her house and they both get stuck in the attic,while Nancy puts on makeup that her mom strictly told her she could not wear until she was older. The main characters are Ivy and Bean. Ivy is kind,an animal lover, and she is smart. I can infer this because on page 16 the illustration shows Ivy reading a big “`grown up book”. Bean loves adventures, getting dirty, she also doesn’t brush her hair, and Bean always does something weird. This is a fact because on page 1 the illustration shows Bean grinding corn on the sidewalk. Bean and Ivy change at the end of the book to become more sneaky, because they don’t get caught in the attic and makes Nancy give them both a little bit of money. Bean and Ivy can specifically make Nancy give them each $2 because while they both were trapped in the attic, Nancy was putting on makeup her mom told her she couldn’t wear. One unanswered question I'd like to ask the author is why are Bean and Ivy best friends they’re total opposites? What I enjoyed most about this book were the illustrations because they’re simple and detailed. The illustration I liked best was the cover because Bean and Ivy are tiptoeing somewhere looking sneaky. I would recommend this book because it’s a very unique book with compromises, dirt, and getting your older sister in trouble.

I' am in 6th grade and this book is a exciting and mysterious. I read this book like, (I don't remember) times. I love this book and I give it 5 stars since it is cool.

Last year I set a new years resolution to read all the Harry Potter books that year I did it and this one was my favorite one I'm reading it again just because I like it because even though he is to young he proves himself among older people -readingrose

The story takes place in Reno, NV and Liberty, NY, but most of the action takes place on the bus ride to Liberty. The time is current day. Heidi, Bernie and Mama are the main characters and they are all totally believable. I liked Heidi the most, since she is the main character and struggles the most in finding the true story to her life. She doesn't want much in the world, but does want to find out where she came from and who her family is. I am amazed at how well Heidi has done in life with the cards that she has been dealt. She has a mother who has a bum brain and has been home-schooled by her caring neighbor, Bernie. Although she doesn't interact too much with the outside world, Heidi seems pretty smart and prepared for the real world. I can relate to Heidi a little bit since I never was able to meet my grandparents. I have felt the same way in that I wanted to find out more about them since I never met them. The problem in the story is that Heidi has a mother who is mentally challenged (only speaks limited words) and therefore, Heidi has no idea who any of her family members are. She wants to find out who her family is so she ventures out to Liberty, NY in hopes of finding her grandmother who was once believed to be in a photo found in a closet in her home. The problem is solved when Heidi manages to take a long bus adventure to Hilltop Home and meets people who steer her toward the information that she needs. I won't tell more in fear of giving away the ending. I love the ending, but found it to be very different from what I expected- which is great for a reader. What I like about this book is that students will get a better understanding of people with disabilities and how life can be affected in various ways. Heidi learns to never give up on her dream and continues her search for her family. I learned that not everything is exactly as you would expect it to be and not all stories end happily or the way that you want them to end. Fifth graders and above should read this book and would learn from it because it teaches them about broken families and how to be successful in life. I rate this book a 10/10 due to the wonderful things that I learned about mental illness and perseverance.

When young magicians Carter and Sadie Kane learned how to follow the path of the Ancient Egyptian gods, they knew they would have to play an important role in restoring Ma’at—order—to the world. What they didn’t know is how chaotic the world would become. The Chaos snake Apophis is loose and threatening to destroy the earth in three days’ time. The magicians are divided. The gods are disappearing, and those who remain are weak. Walt, one of Carter and Sadie’s most gifted initiates, is doomed and can already feel his life force ebbing. Zia is too busy babysitting the senile sun god, Ra, to be of much help. What are a couple of teenagers and a handful of young trainees to do? There is possibly one way to stop Apophis, but it is so difficult that it might cost Carter and Sadie their lives, if it even works at all. It involves trusting the ghost of a psychopathic magician not to betray them, or worse, kill them. They’d have to be crazy to try it. Well, call them crazy. With hilarious asides, memorable monsters, and an ever-changing crew of friends and foes, the excitement never lets up in The Serpent’s Shadow, a thoroughly entertaining and satisfying conclusion to the Kane Chronicles.

I wanted to read this book because I love mysteries and she looks like me and that is the big part #BLM
