P.K. Pinkerton and the Case of the Deadly Desperados

P.K. Pinkerton and the Case of the Deadly Desperados

By Caroline Lawrence

I'm impressed by Caroline Lawrence's ability to cut to the quick in this book. She treats adult themes in such a way that kids feel they are a part of the history they are reading. P.K. is a boy with Aspberger's who gets more adventure out of one day in a Western town than most of us would incur in ten years of travel. The book is exciting, page-turning, chilling, and quite amusing.

Tennyson

Tennyson

By Lesley M. M. Blume

I loved this book! When you read it, the houses have names, and it's about a girl who is trying to get her mother back.

Looking for Pa: A Civil War Journey from Catlett to Manassas, 1861

Looking for Pa: A Civil War Journey from Catlett to Manassas, 1861

By Geraldine Lee Susi

My reaction to the novel is that Jacob and Jessi are very tough kids. Also dealing with Virgil was really difficult and hard for the characters to talk to other people after that. At the end finding Pa was what made it really good. I would recommend this book to people who like the outdoors and travel because that's what this book has.

The Old Man and the Sea (Bloom's Notes)

By Ernest Hemingway

Erik

When a old man and a boy are told that they can not fish with each other he choose to fish one day alone after not catching a fish for nearly 40 days a move that he will never regret, The old man finds himself being towed behind a fish longer than an the everyday pick up truck(over 18 feet)but slowly face a near infinite backdrop of wind and water he faces a large task before him to get a fish back home. In a boat not much larger than a rowboat he learns how to eat, sleep and survive when being towed by a large fish he recalls memories when he was younger, in the midst of a fight where everyone and everything is trying to survive. I rate this book ⅖ stars because it is an interesting story but doesn't have much stuff going on for most of the story
