When hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf hard people knew it was coming, it was very sad many peoples homes were gone and half of the people became homeless no one had a place to live their houses flooded with water there was no severe no wifi and people had a hard time trying to figure what's going to happen next. People had to stay either on top of there roof or in their attics many people got helped and a lot of people didn't. Many died because they drown in the water. A lot of people who had boats saved people and risk their lives for them. Half of the people left and half of them didn't. Read this book for more information. This reminds me of a time where there was a big storm and we had to go to the basement it was so scary I didn't know what to do it was coming closer to where we lived tornado sirens were going off the winds super strong and the sky dark gray my parents said everything was going to be okay. ten minutes later the weather reporter told us it had move somewhere else I was super happy. I give this book a 5 I never knew so many things about this storm if I lived there I would be super scared I really enjoy things like this.

This book was awesome. It is a realistic fiction book by Sydney Taylor about a family at New York in 1912. The family has 5 girls, but later in the series another surprise makes an appearance. All of the girls are fun, and in the books, it goes on about the adventures, troubles, and resolutions they all have in their life. The family is also Jewish, so it talks, and kind of teaches about their traditions, which I find very cool. I HIGHLY recommend this book, and it is the perfect read for 7+, just when most kids can read chapter books comfortably.

This book... This book is such a beloved classic for such good reason. It was so full of imagery and brilliant plot that I was sad to reach the end. One thing I will say though, is that Avonlea seems just a little too perfect. Aside from the one disaster and some minor scrapes, everything happens so that life flows idylly. Other than that, the book was written splendidly with lots of care. Even though this book is suitable for readers of all ages, there are many profound quotes and little gems that may not be picked up by a younger crowd. It just refreshes and makes me happy every time I read an "Anne of" book because they're so wholesome and gracefully written. The author, L.M. Montgomery is a literary genius. I can't wait to follow Anne along on her journey.

I love this book. but it's not one of my favorites. It does teach you about the types of gems and what they are. It also gives you facts about them. Oh and my favorite page is 56 and 57 that show you a 83 million dollar painting, that has diamonds and other expensive gems. My favorite gem is a turquoise, it tells you about it on pages 50 and 51.

Cool! I really want to read this- or maybe my brother does more :) He really likes these kind of books- If anyone has read this please reply and tell me :)

I really like The 39 Clues, and when I found out that Linda Sue Park had another book, about Korea under Japanese rule (I'm from South Korea, not North, why does everyone ask that), I was so curious I had to read the book. When My Name Was Keoko is about the time Korea was under Japanese rule. It is written in two perspectives, Sun-hee and Tae-yul's. I loved how some of the characters (Sun-hee, Tae-yul, their parents, Mrs. Ahn (a neighbor), and Tomo) rebelled against Japan in quiet or energetic (if that makes sense) ways. This book beautifully portrayed how a family living in those times would act. I'm a sucker for historical fiction and teenage books, so When My Name Was Keoko was perfect! The ending wrapped the whole book wonderfully, with Sun-hee teaching Tae-yul the Korean alphabet. However, something that could have been better is the lack of background information. Someone unfamiliar with Korea's history might've initially felt confused or bored. I also worried that using Korean pronouns would perplex readers who do not know Korean. To summarize, When My Name Was Keoko is a great book about rebellion, family, and strength. Even though it may be confusing for people who didn't have a lot of Korean culture exposure, I recommend this book for 9 and up!

Veronica Beatrice Lockhart, known as just Sally. It`s the year of 1881, and unlike any other Victorian women in England, Sally is independent woman along with her toddler daughter, Harriet. The man who Sally loved, Frederick Garland, was killed due to the fire while Sally is pregnant with Harriet. Sally`s friends, Jim, Webster, and Charles all were in South America, taking pictures. She is good friends to her nurse, Sarah-Jane, and a house-maid named Ellie. But one day when Sally got news that said that one man, Arthur Parrish is suing her for divorce which Sally didn`t. That caused Sally and Harriet to escape their home to hide from Parrish and his gang. Despite that event, Sally met a journalist, Daniel Goldberg, who Sally has married to in the ending of the book. Bridie Sullivan, Jonathan Mendel who is also known as Kid were with Harriet when she went missing. That`s part of the book but I wouldn`t want to spoil the whole book for you guys but I would def recommend this book! - Happy Reading!

Lauren Tarshis has written many thrilling books, the most famous being her historical fiction series, I Survived. These past few years I have enjoyed reading Lauren's works, and the way she was able to portray the main character in these national disasters. So I was very excited when I got my hands on a copy of this book, Tornado Terror. I was interested to see how Lauren would tie a story and facts together. This is a nonfiction book, but Lauren had just the right combination of pure facts and narrative that would enthrall any reader. Inside book, both tornadoes featured, the Tri-State Tornado of 1925 and the Joplin Tornado of 2011 have a short story of a young person-just as she writes in the fiction series. The interesting thing about these stories, is that they are actually based on a real person and that person's experiences. It isn't a complete work of fiction narrative. But there was more than just stories. There were many pictures, and tidbits about "normal" life during that time period. There were also specific facts about both tornadoes, and tornadoes in general. I also enjoyed reading about what storm chasers are, and famous tornado scientists. I recommend this book for elementary and middle school, but it would also interest some younger highschoolers. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
