I don't usually like history-type books, but this one seemed fun. The bonus? It was about doughnuts, one of my favorite topics. It was fun to learn about the history of doughnuts. It also taught me that people can play different roles in history.

Sweet Home Alaska was an intriguing story of a young girl named Terpsichore, who's family became pioneers in Alaska around the time of the start of the Great Depression. Terpsichore had always been inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder and dreamed of living just like her! The move to Alaska was a shock because the town was under construction, the family had to live in a tent and leave almost every bit of their civilized life behind. All the same, Terpsichore fell in love with the Alaska wilderness and even when her mother became so homesick she threatened to bring the whole family back to their first home in Wisconsin, the little girl fought for the place she had come to love! This is a great book full of adventure and HUGE pumpkins!!

If you love books that have a twist at every turn,this book is for you.This is a book is a gem and therefore, it needs to be added to your library.

This was an interesting story about a young girl in the early 1900's who is learning her place in the world. In this story Calpurunia is the only girl in a family with six brothers. As she comes to understand her grandfather as a teacher, she also struggles with her mother. Her mother wants her to become a domesticated wife, who knows how to sew, cook, knit, etc. But Calpurinia is not interested in these things at all. She just wants to study science and nature with her grandfather, and maybe become a scientist herself, not a housewife. As Calpurnia tries to keep her family together she learns lessons of trust and self-confidence, and being who you really are inside. I recommend this book to older people, however there aren't any action scenes, and some people may become bored with the storyline if they do not enjoy this type of book, setting in the past.

The Call of the wild. When I read ''The Call of the Wild''. It was sad and quite inspiring. In this troubled book it's like Jack London is telling a powerful and strong massage. Although this is only a shortened version of ''White Fang '' it is still just as good. In this story Buck a much loved dog is kidnapped and transported to the snowy northwest Canada where he must work for the gold hunters of the 1890s gold rush. As the adventure unfolds Buck finds himself becoming more wild until the end Buck must fight a pack of wolves and answers to the call of the wild. Buck is an amazing and wild at heart character that is brave and true. this really shows what people can do to dogs and what dogs can do back. I give this book 4\1-2 stars. It is so sad that Jack London killed himself and I recommend it for people a least 13+ because of the strong volante themes.

I completly agree with Mrs. Jagielski's comment on the book. A very emotional book. I cried a few times, like when he jumped out of the car to get Bandit, when the flood started, when Bandit almost died of heatstroke, and when Bandit got shot. But it is still an awesome book and i think that everyone should read it. BTW I love dogs thats why I cried a lot for Bandit :'(
