“My pack is everything. They are my family.” Swift is a young wolf pup who has never seen the world beyond his pack’s borders. He is safe from all the dangers that lurk right outside their territory—other animals, wolf packs who are more powerful—and most importantly, men, the strange two-legged creatures who are never to be trusted. Ever since he was born, Swift has been warned about the evilness of men, and the terrible things they can do. But until now, he has never needed that knowledge. When a larger group of wolves invades Swift’s pack, he gets separated from them in a whirlwind of teeth and claws. Living without a pack, without other wolves to take care of him, is simply not living. It is just trying to survive in a cold, harsh world that will soon be taken over by men...so why live? But there is something inside Swift, a tiny ember of hope, that thinks there are more wolves around—and maybe they’re from his former pack. Then, he finds his younger brother Warm, and travels with him—until Warm is killed by men, with strange objects that shoot lightning. Swift is deeply saddened...and angry. He wants to get revenge for his brother’s death; but how can he fight men? It turns out he doesn’t have to—because soon, he will meet another wolf who can change his life. Can Swift survive? Only time will tell.

Finding the worm has a complicated title, but it has heart. This story is about Julian, "Jules", Tweski, a Jewish person living in Flushing, Queens. It is a superb book, of decent writing. In the end, the themes in this book were very thought-provoking. The style, in regards to using many commas and ands, added to the experience of being a relatable book. A brief description: Quentin, "Quick Quentin", has a tumor. The kids on the block, Lonnie, Shlomo, Julian, Eric, and Howie, who live in the Dorado House or such named buildings, go on with their lives, and Julian, whose Bar Mitzvah is coming up, learns from the rabbi (a very good character with witty lines) about death. All the while, Julian Tweski records his thoughts about life and all the events that happen during this time. It was interesting reading a book that portrayed the 70s and life in New York so well, painting a vivid picture of the activities of those living in this time. Many of the landmarks described within this book I could find on the Internet; likewise with the baseball players. It's a sequel to the book TWERP but you don't have to read that one (it does give you some spoilers though). All in all, a sad and thoughtful book at the end, but some middle parts, describing their daily activities, were a little "meh". It is a contemplative realistic fiction book with good dialogue.

This book is really good. It is about a girl named Crow, and her real parents put her in a crib and sent her off in the ocean. She lives with a man named Osh, who took Crow in. The two of them live on an island.

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 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.
