A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

By Linda Sue Park

A Long Walk To Water. One of my favorite books of all time. It's about a boy named Salva who had to escape war from his home in South Sudan. He walked miles and miles to refugee camps. (Fun Fact: Salva stayed in one of the refugee camps for 10 YEARS!) But the thing is he NEVER gave up. And that this is a true story! I believe Salva did not give up because of his Uncle's words. "One step at a time. One step at a time.". This book was very very very rich and loads of detail. I wanted to read more, but it was very short which I did not like. He also led a group of 150+ boys to a refugee camp. (Fun fact: Salva is still friends with some of them! They call them the "Lost Boys!") I seriously cannot express the way this book seriously changed my life. It made me realize what people in other countires must go through, and in America we have many riches, even if you live in an apartment. This book made me want to help. And I am, me and my class are raising money for Salva's organazation "Water For South Sudan". (He's alive and very healthy, he also owns that organazation.) Me & my class are going to help BUILD a well in South Sudan! I really cannot express anymore of my gratitude for this book. This book really truly opened my eyes. (Also, I watched a livestream with my class of Salva answering questions that kids from other schools sent in. It was very interesting, that's where I got those fun facts from.) (I know I didn't say much about Niya, the other character in the story. She's about the same as Salva, she opened my eyes and made me see what's REALLY going on in the world right now. It's tragic that people must go through these things.) (A very important fun fact: You pronounce Niya like this: Ne-ya. The author said this in the livestream, I thought that was important.)

Whatshisface

Whatshisface

By Gordon Korman

For his entire life, Cooper has been known by simply "Whatshisface". Since he moves a lot because of his dad's job, he doesn't usually stick around long enough to get to know other kids. So his parents get him and his sister a phone. Cooper is super excited to finally have one! But his seems to malfunction...there's the blotches in pictures, the weird noises during the middle of the night, and finally...a voice. "Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me?" Cooper's phone is possessed-by a kid from the 1500s! Cooper and Roddy become friends. Roddy's "eyes" are the camera and his "ears" are the phone's speaker. This is a super short read, and this book is HILARIOUS! The plot gets thicker and thicker but it is laughable because of Roddy's attempts to help Cooper in his 1500s way and his unbelief and amazement at everyday modern items! But it turns out Roddy isn't the normal (well...not exactly normal LOL) kid that he seems....*wink, wink* READ THE BOOK!

Escape from the Carnival of Horrors (Give Yourself Goosebumps)

By R.L. Stine

I just finished a book called Goosebumps, Escape From the Carnival of Horrors, by R.L. Stine. It is a choose your own adventure book, and there are many different endings. The genre of this book is horror, because a lot of scary things happen to you throughout the book. If you like to choose how the book you are reading goes, then I would recommend this book for you. I think this book would be good for grades 2 to 4, it was really easy for me. I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it.

The Silver Eyes (Five Nights at Freddy's Graphic Novel)

The Silver Eyes (Five Nights at Freddy's Graphic Novel)

By Scott Cawthon, Kira Breed-Wrisley

I love this series, the games, the movies and the books. Fnaf can be a very scary and hard game, especially in game 1, but overall it is still good. This book got me so stuck reading when my teachers, mom or friends say my name I don't even realize they said it.

Eragon (Inheritance)

Eragon (Inheritance)

By Christopher Paolini

I am not usually the type of person who loves fantasy, but I read Eragon for a reading challenge and liked it. Eragon was a normal boy who lived on a farm with his uncle and cousin. But when he was out hunting one day, he came across a quite unusual blue stone that was hollow and seemed unbreakable. As he was laying in his room one night, the stone starting cracking. He was stunned when a dragon popped out from the egg, which he thought was a stone. From then on, Eragon's life was changed forever. He goes on a quest with the town storyteller Brom to kill the Ra'zac, who murdered Eragon's uncle Garrow. I really loved this book, and plan on reading the rest of the series in the future. I rate this book 4/5 because it was a little boring at times, but overall it was a great book. I recommend this book to boys and girls ages 11+.
