The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century

The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century

By Sarah Miller

Imagine what it’s like being on a 10 month trial for murder. This is how Lizzie Borden felt during the many months of being on trial of being suspected of killing her father and stepmother. This book is called the Borden Murders, by Sarah Miller, story about thrills and anticipation. Our protagonist, yet antagonist, Lizzie Borden, is believed to be a murderer of killing Andrew Borden and Abby borden. Our character is facing a long trial. A long, boring, but serious subject trial. At the same time, her sister is facing trial as well because she is another suspect believed to kill the parents. The weapon that Lizzie possibly used was known as the “Hoo-Doo” hatchet. It had made 40 fatal blows to Abby and 41 to Andrew by whoever had been handling the hatchet. Things take a good turn (for a little while) around the end when she is pleaded as innocent. But was it true? Was Lizzie really innocent? Because if she was truly innocent, why would she burn a dress with her parent’s blood on it? The world may just never know. Since they did not have fingerprint scanners back in those days. They wanted to just know the truth. All of this stuff happening in the city of fall river, massachusetts, in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Not something I would call fun to be in. It’s weird yet interesting how back in these days, portugese people were always watched as they were not trusted. She was not the only one suspected, as Emma borden as well, was suspected of killing abby and andrew. I would really recommend this book to anybody who really enjoys history, murder stories, or scary stories or horror stories or people who just enjoy massachusetts and it’s history. It gives you thrills and might learn things in reading in it. From 1-10 I would give it a 9.5 because some stuff I couldn’t understand some stuff it was saying, but other than that it was AWESOME!

Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans

Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans

By Rush Limbaugh

"Rush, rush, rushing into history!" So, you may think this is just another boring book about history. But it is far from it! Join Rush Revere, history teacher and iced tea poster-man, and his talking horse (yep, you heard that right! A TALKING HORSE!) named Liberty in their time travel adventures to important events in history, such as the Mayflower and the first Thanksgiving, which this book is about!! And let's not forget Tommy and Freedom. They're just regular kids in Rush's history class who happen to figure out Rush and Freedom's time traveling secret. When they get to the Mayflower, they are blown away. WOW, was life hard! Reading the story is like actually being there, and you get the full scoop about how life was like back then. And the first Thanksgiving is really cool, too! This book is DEFINITELY NOT your traditional history book, and also DEFINITELY NOT boring!! Written by highly rated national radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, this book is a refreshing take on important events in the USA's history! I highly recommend this book to ages 7+ and rate it 4/5 stars.
