The Emperor's Code (The 39 Clues, Book 8)

The Emperor's Code (The 39 Clues, Book 8)

By Gordon Korman

Have you ever wanted to be a detective when you were younger? This book is exactly what you're looking for. This book has mysteries, clues, investigations and so many more things. There's even a card game about this book! This book series is called The 39 Clues to the Emperor's code. The author is Gordon Korman. This is the 8th book. The book focuses on the two main characters which are brother and sister. The brother and sister have many adventures going to ancient temples, ruins, caves and so many more! But that's not all they travel to many parts of the world that you might now even think of. During their adventures to places they meet great characters that might be seen in the future of the books. They also meet great villains or people that are against them. The story consists of physical and mental battles that you have never seen before. I think this book has a great story and really shows how a character feels. The book really explains different things very thoroughly so that it's a little easier to understand. But what this book can improve is the physical understanding. I said that the book very nicely explains things thoroughly, but I meant in explaining lets say an object and what it's able to do. On the other hand when something like a fight is happening they don't really explain enough details to know that this fight is a fight to be remembered. I think that for all the people that might like mysteries and adventures this is the one for you. If you love exploration this is also a perfect pick of something you might like because of how they go to different places. If you like action you might like this book a little less just because the intense moments are not the best moments. But overall I think this book is great but also something about this book is that I haven't read the first or anything after, so some things were confusing so although this is very interesting i highly recommend getting the first one or anything before.

The Story of Doctor Dolittle (Random House Modern Classics)

The Story of Doctor Dolittle (Random House Modern Classics)

By Hugh Lofting

The Story of Doctor Dolittle, by Hugh Lofting, teaches about tolerance. Dr. Dollitle is a doctor who can speak animal languages and loves animals, but he has so many animals that his sister left and he became poor. He didn’t mind, though, because he still had his animals. After some time, a swallow came and told the doctor that he needed to cure some monkeys in africa. He didn’t have enough money, but he borrowed a boat and supplies from people who knew that he was a good doctor. After a while, he cured the monkeys and went back home. The animals also showed him the pushmi-pullyu, an animal which has two heads. He earned enough money showing people it that he had enough for a while. I recommend this classical book for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.

Sabotage: The Mission to Destroy Hitler's Atomic Bomb: Young Adult Edition

Sabotage: The Mission to Destroy Hitler's Atomic Bomb: Young Adult Edition

By Neal Bascomb

“Sabotage” by Neal Bascomb “Sabotage” by Neal Bascomb is a Non-fiction book about a mission to destroy Hitler’s atomic bomb in the Vidda. Five Norwegian soldiers were chosen to complete this mission. A topic in this book is trial and error because the Norwegian soldiers tried several times to blow up the plant but failed a lot. A quote to represent trial and error is “It felt like a crater was opening in each of their hearts”. The author said this because a plane was supposed to drop more soldiers down into the Vidda but failed because the soldiers on the ground failed to set up the signal. I thought the book was boring because it lacked suspense and could have more plot. I rate this book a 5/10 because it did not grab my attention very well. I would not recommend this to people. This is my review on the book Sabotage and if you want to see if the soldiers destroy the bomb you will have to read yourself.

“A bone chilling tale not to be ignored” In my opinion this book shows the characters emotions and actions very detailed throughout the whole story.

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow

By Susan Campbell Bartoletti

I liked this book because of all the topics addressed including manipulation, politics and war. she also made a good point about how they had to un-brainwashed kids. Hitler once said “ I began with the young ones, the older are all used up” this quote represents the subject matter of the book. Miles

Kid Owner

Kid Owner

By Tim Green

Kid Owner is about this 12 year old boy named Ryan Zinna. He loves football but his mom won't let him play until a certain age. Ryan was just a normal kid but until his dad, ( which he has never met before) dies, everything changed. He missed his dad's funeral but got to hear his will, he was shocked to find that his dad owned the Dallas Cowboys. And he wanted Ryan to own them. His stepmom pulls some stings and now Ryan might not have them after all. Now he has to compete against his stepbrother Dillon in his middle school football and the Cowboys. He only has his friends Izzy, Jackson, the Cowboys coach, and his mom on his side. How will he win? My favorite part is when Ryan is playing a football game against his stepbrother Dillon. He takes himself out of the game and lets another kid go in that hasn't yet. I really liked this book and if you like sports, football, or the author Tim Green. Then I recommend this book.
