Copper Sun

Copper Sun

By Sharon M. Draper

Copper Sun is one of my favorite novels. From the story line to the character building. You feel what the characters feel. I also really enjoy how it has two points of view. The indentured servant and the slave. It is a sad realization of history and humanity. But i highly recommend it.

Blueback

Blueback

By Tim Winton

The Secret Life of Blueback Tim Winton’s narrative ‘Blueback’ is set in Longboat Bay, Robbers Head. Here in the bay it is clean and healthy and it has a lot of unique fish life. Longboat Bay is always sunny and it is a place where people can fish and swim. In this story the protagonist Abel, is a passionate boy who loves the ocean. His brave mother Dora raised him by herself. Other characters that appear are: Abel’s father who was a pearl diver who died from a tiger shark; Blueback the big, old groper; Stella, Abel’s wife and marine biologist, and Dora the 3 year old girl of Abel and Stella. At the beginning, Abel and Dora are catching abalone.They live a simple life near the ocean. They grow their own plants and animals, and rely on the ocean for food. Abel was in the water catching abalone, when a lurking shadow grabbed him by the arm. Firstly he thought it was a shark but he went back into the water to discover that it was a blue groper. Abel and the supposed shark started to develop a strong connection with each other. Soon after, a reef stripper named Costello entered Robbers Head and decided to spear fish but he collected fish over the legal limit. The ocean then became sick from something toxic, and so Abel and Dora tried to save the ocean. The strong message from this narrative is to never pollute in the ocean because it causes the fish to die. We should also treat fish fairly as humans. Therefore we should protect the ocean. I recommend this book to students in grades 5-8 because the emotive vocabulary makes you feel like you are in the book. They might also have a connection with the book because they might have experienced some of the activities, such as fishing, swimming and swimming with fish.

A good read for middle and high school students. It gives a very good insight in the mind of a high school student on his thoughts and imagination. Please read the preface or summary beforehand.

Law Enforcement (Yes She Did!)

Law Enforcement (Yes She Did!)

By Taylor Rudow

Did you know as of 2015 17% of police officers were women or every 2 out of 10 recruits were women? This book talks all about what women have gone through to work in Law Enforcement. In October of 1972, Joanne Misko (formerly a nun) and Susan Malone (formerly a member of the United States Marines), became the first female special agents in the FBI. In 2004, Deputy Jennifer Fulford and three other policemen got a call from a 8 y/o boy. He said there was men with guns in his home and he and 2 sisters were trapped in the garage. She was struck by 10 bullets (one of them disabled her shooting hand) and through all that she saved the kids and arrested the criminals. This was a great book and learned a lot about the fight for women to be in the Law Enforcement. Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
