Elon Musk and the Quest for a Fantastic Future Young Readers' Edition

Elon Musk and the Quest for a Fantastic Future Young Readers' Edition

By Ashlee Vance

My book is called, “ Elon musk and the Quest for a Fantastic Future,” and is written by Ashlee Vance also the genre is a biography, this book has 280 pages. R. Kikuo Johnson did the photos, also the book is about how he runs all of his companies his weekly schedule. Next, it talks about how they developed all four companies. Lastly it talked about what mistakes he made when doing business and how we resolved them. A lesson Elon Musk learned is to never give up. He learned this when, Elon Musk’s first rocket failed, although he was devastated he persevered and kept trying and,he didn’t give up even though there was a few rocket fails. After a few tries to launch his rocket, Elon Musk, finally launched a rocket into orbit and everyone was so joyful. Over all, Elon Musk would have never succeeded if gave up, so his perseverance has paid off by him succeeding. In Conclusion I don’t recommend this book because of all the names I got confused, and because of that I would rate the book a 3 out of 10. I would rate the pictures a 7 out of 10, because the blueprints helped me imagine his inventions. A question I have to the Author is, “how long did it take to write this book?

Audacity

By Melanie Crowder

star student

The author (Melanie Crowder) makes me feel like I'm in the story because Melanie Crowder uses awesome words and makes the story so intense. For example, in the story its says "We travel half way the world and still my dreams are impossible." and she's one of my favorite authors and in every single part i could feel her same pain and happiness. It's a really good book I love it.

Chasing King's Killer: The Hunt for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Assassin

Chasing King's Killer: The Hunt for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Assassin

By James L. Swanson

I really, really, really loved this book,and I usually don't like non-fiction, biographies, or any genre of that sort. This book took me by surprise. Here I am finding this book in the library and picking it up. Who knew I would actually fall in love with it? It's gripping. The author draws you in with the events and actions. He spins the words and makes a woven masterpiece. The suspense and mystery scenes were really engaging, the story line so intense. I found myself learning new things about Martin Luther King Jr. And can I just say how much I loved how the author spelled out most of MLKJ's life? This book wasn't just about the murder of MLKJ, it was about how he lead marches and changed America. Another thing that I liked is how the author wrote the scenes leading up to the murder. It seemed a lot like the show on National Geographic, Seconds from Disaster. It showed where James Earl Ray stood and how he shot MLKJ. I found that incredibly interesting. Oh, and I just loved how the author showed how the FBI and police tracked Ray and how he ran away. Long story short, I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a nice suspense/mystery-nonfiction-biography-type book.

Gretzky : An Autobiography (Braille)

Gretzky : An Autobiography (Braille)

By Wayne Gretzky

"Gretzky An Autobiography" is an autobiography written by authors Wayne Gretzky and Rick Reilly with photos are by Vincent Virga. This book has 238 that go through the most important parts of his life like when he got to the very top of the National Hockey League (NHL) being the best. And, the dark times in his life like when parents of his teammates yelled at him for being a puck hog. Or, how he felt when he won the Stanley Cup for the very first time and heard the fans scream his name “Gretzky, Gretzky, Gretzky.” When Wayne played in his youth he made many mistakes like, not letting coaches know what happened off the ice. However, letting this happen helped him fuel his tank with determination so he could drive himself even harder. Although, doing this made his family move everywhere so he can always one up himself. Doing this provided him with a challenge to work on his social skills because he was a very shy kid. It also, helped with training and work ethic to allow him to become a better hockey player and a much better person. I would definitely recommend this book to a fan player or relative of a hockey player because you get to know the game and its history a lot better.If i could ever ask Wayne Gretzky one question face to face it would be, “If you could go back in time and fix one thing what would it be and why?”

Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different: A Biography

Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different: A Biography

By Karen Blumenthal

The name of my biography is called Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Different. The author of this book is Karen Blumenthal, Who is also the illustrator. It is about Steve Jobs' life and how he made modern technology. As a child, he had many challenges, but when he grew older, he had even more.Steve Jobs was the man who thought different, he saw the world differently, and he made the world different. The main lesson Steve Jobs learned is that you should never give up. Steve Jobs faced many hardships. For example, he was adopted and was fired from Apple. Later on, he overcame these challenges by finding a new family and making two new companies after he was fired. Even though he had a rough childhood, he became the tech celebrity that we know today. Steve Jobs , at a point, was a selfish man and sometimes put work before family. But gradually, he started spending more time with his family members that he never talked to. In conclusion, I chose this book because I wanted to do Steve Jobs for my project. If you're doing a biography project like me, I would recommend it because it had a lot of information on Steve Jobs. It also is a good book to read for fun since it is very detailed, clear, and the story is very interesting. My answered question to Steve Jobs is that why did you have really high expectations for your co-workers?
