She eventually got sent home, safely. This story was based on true story about Miriam's older sister, Susanna and her siblings and baby got kidnapped during Indians' raids in Charlestown, New Hemisphere. - Happy Reading!

Death is not new word for the Longtreaders, as the end would be here. But this isn't over for all of the rabbits who had fought their ways to this end, we wonder if Heather would survive, Smalls too. Would Picket turn out to be great captain to lead the unit to victory? Would Emma stay and not fight because of the royalty blood? So many questions in this book as you read through the story. For "The Green Embers" fans, there would be much more of where this is coming from. - Happy Reading!

Emma Edmonds, a girl who dreams about fighting for the Union but won't be allowed to fight due to her gender so she eventually decided to pose as a man, with the title of Private Franklin Thompson. Her fellow soldiers doesn't even know that she is a girl, fighting for the Union cause as they keeping on fighting for rights to ban the slavery. A news that saddened her about her childhood friend who died in action. Girls and women in that period of 1860s would often pose as boys and men, heading off to fight in the war as that is very common but on other hand, it's very cool to read about, especially this story is actually based on true story on real woman of Emma Edmonds. - Happy Reading!

I love this series. I got this book for Christmas and since I loved it so much my mom bought me the rest of the series. Now I'm just starting in the 3rd book of the Stonesword Saga now, but I'll never forget this series.

I read the entire Selection series and was seriously upset when I finished. Like the the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter books, I didn't want it to end. Nearly two months after I had finished the series, a friend told me that there were going to be more books! At first I wasn't sure what to think, because the series had seemed so resolved, but once I got over the initial shock, I was obsessed! I was on my toes, searching for the release date of the next two books every other day! When it finally came out, I had just spent all my money at the book fair. Luckily, somebody let me borrow the book, just the other day. I was over the moon! I immediately started it, and couldn't put it down. I finished it the next day (sadly), and can honestly say my only complaint is that the next book isn't out yet. :'( I loved reading through and meeting the children of all my favorite characters, catching up with them, and reading Maxon and America's reactions to what goes on in Eadlyn's selection. I can't wait for the fifth book, five stars all the way!

This is about a squirrel named Miss Suzy.... She is cleaning her little tree house, when squirrel bandits, chase her out of her little home. She finds a toy house, and cleans it up, and finds little toy soldiers, abiding there. They all live together, she as their mother, and they grow to love her, as their dear Miss Suzy. She tells them stories, that they listen attentively to, enjoying each word, some sad, some happy, and all in between. Finally one day, they come to find her crying, and they ask, "Why?" She explains that she misses her home, so the little toy soldiers, all worrying so, all join together, to go outside, to chase out the squirrels, who chased out their mother. They go back home, to dear Miss Suzy, and when they tell her, she is oh so grateful. She goes back home, to her little tree house, and with weeping eyes, they all say goodbye. But before they depart, dear Miss Suzy tells them to, "Come again." With her chestnut broom, and firefly lamp, she cleans up the mess, the mean squirrels made, and when she lies in her bed, in her old oak tree, the tree sways like it did, as she watches the stars... Just like she always did, in her dear little house.

This is a funny story about Frank, and his dad, Gilbert who is a former race car champion. When Gilbert ends up in prison because of a robbery, Frank sets out on a wild mission to break him out and fix everything. Along the way, they face mean villains and lots of surprises. The book is very interesting! In the book there are cool illustrations. This story will make you laugh A LOT! I recommend this book to 8 to 11 years old.

Had I not read Looking for Alaska before this, I would've given this book five stars. The reason being is that the characters are very similar. A deep, different and beautiful girl who has an otherwise unremarkable guy wrapped around her finger. The girl gets him to go out of his comfort zone, leading to all sorts of adventures. But both books have this sort of 'no way this is happened' vibe, when the settings and events are completely ordinary, yet somehow John Green twists it in with a summer-love feel that is like a hazy memory at best. Or at least, that's how it is up until the end. But, to avoid spoilers, let's just say that the quote, "You don't love me, you love the idea of me," is very fitting.

Wars, new people, and new feelings arising as the Longtreaders now have a conflict, having their name being recognized in worst way possible. Picket and Heather were both going in different directions in life but still so close. As Emma remembering the day that she almost faced death. But would they make out alive without ever dying? - Happy Reading!
