What Was the Titanic?

What Was the Titanic?

By Stephanie Sabol, Who HQ

This was a very good book because, the Titanic took several years to build and was called, "The Unsinkable." I would recommend this book to many friends. It was a sad, thrilling, informational book. It showed all the people desperately trying to get on an emergency boat. It showed many shooting stars signaling many people had died.

Fever 1793

Fever 1793

By Laurie Halse Anderson

Fever 1793 brings the terrible yellow fever to life with a plotline full of sadness, violence, terror; the story of Matilda "Mattie" Cook. Any student who loves to learn about history will appreciate the full story of this book, but viewing as strictly an education historical fiction is not doing its suspenseful, action-packed, amazing story justice. This book has so much excitement, emotion, and adrenaline-pumping action that even a history-hating reluctant reader will devour the story. I love Fever 1793 because it lets the reader see the yellow fever outbreak in a new incarnation. Even if you're already familiar with this historical event, reading Fever 1793 will let you hear the events you know in a new, exciting, interesting way. This book, narrated in the first person by Mattie, the protagonist, makes the reader feel as though her or she personally knows the struggles of a child or teen living during the yellow fever outbreak. It gives a glimpse into the devouring fears, nightmarish scenes, and body-filled, filthy streets of some places in America in 1793. The reader will be left with lingering, longing desires to read this book again and again. If you enjoy books that are gripping, realistic, bloody, emotional, and nightmarish like I do, you will thoroughly enjoy your reading of Fever 1793. Even if violence or disease scares you, I encourage you to try reading Fever 1793. It has a value in both interesting and educational departments, and I think it could be enjoyed by any reader at all.

I really like this book. I think you should read it! I read it because the author Joe Hays was coming to visit my school. It's about him and how he was always chewing gum. But one day, the gum in his pocket really saved him from a rattle snake's bite! I won't tell you much more,so you have to read the book to find out more!

Black Beauty (100 Copy Limited Edition)

By Anna Sewell

The story about Black Beauty had been started when he was just a foal. He was described as a horse with black coat, along with the black mane. But once when he got older, he got sold to many different hands (people who works with horses) such like; Squire and Lady Gordon, Miss W--, Miss Anna, etc. Beauty also friends with other horses; Merrylegs, Ginger, and Captain. Even though this book is fictional but the way the author, Anna Sewell wrote about Black Beauty has just felt so real. I had really enjoyed this book and this book would be perfect for any horses-lovers. - Happy Reading!

By Phillip M Hoose

Author Phillip Hoose bringing the history of America which had started in 1600s-1700s. That book includes people like; Carrie Berry, Frederick Douglas, Kory Johnson, etc. When I had read this book, I felt like when I'm reading them about their life, it's like they are alive again. It's also truly shocking of how many people that I never heard of before had experienced the difficulties of war, starvation, etc. This book would be perfect for history-lovers or bookworms! - Happy Reading!

UC What Was the Underground Railroad?

UC What Was the Underground Railroad?

By Yona Zeldis McDonough,Lauren Mortimer James Bennett

Short yet informative, this book was awesome, and I would recommend it to those who are interested in American history. In this book, you’ll find the daring tales of several slaves who were willing to risk *everything* (and yes, literally everything) for their freedom. These true stories range from Henry “Box” Brown, whom mailed himself in a box to Philadelphia to escape slavery, all the way to Harriet Tubman, a very famous Underground Railroad “conductor” who was known for leading hundreds of slaves to their freedom. The only reason I didn’t rate this 5 stars was that some parts were not as interesting as others. Overall, however, this book was great!
