Son (The Giver Quartet)
By Lois Lowry
Son is a great but sad and suspenseful book! It's a sweet book about a mother and son trying to find each other. When the do the mom is nearly dead from a bad trade. I would recommend it for people in grades 3rd,4th, and 5th.
Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape
By Danica McKellar
I got this book for Christmas and I love it.Geometry is really hard for me so I really enjoy reading it.It may look extremely boring, but it's actually not.Danicka Mckellar tells her own stories and actually teaches you the formulas and how to do complicated problems.It also interviews students and you can read their stories too.So it's not ALL about math, geometry and learning, it's actually pretty fun to skim or read through it.If you aren;t taking geometry yet,you should check out her other books for algebra and "math sucks" and "kiss math."I really think this is a great idea to encourage kids (mostly girls, in this case) to do well in math and that they can do well.Please read her books, they really are enjoyable."Never judge a book by it's cover!"
Vietnam #2: Sharpshooter
By Chris Lynch
Good book. It is a sequel of I Pledge Allegiance and is in another point of view. This time, it is the military man of the group of friends. For example, his family watches and commentates on the news like a normal family would commentate sports. This one is in Ivan's point of view.
Vietnam #1: I Pledge Allegiance
By Chris Lynch
this book is a great book for kids who like war books but are not at the reading level of adults. The storyline is great and very interesting. I highly suggest this book for people who like action.
Sarah Bishop
By Scott O'Dell
this is was a great book about a girl who is an orphan during the revolutionary war period.
When the Sea is Rising Red
By Cat Hellisen
Haven't read it. But I'll give it 5 stars anyways from part of the book.
Hearts of Stone
By Kathleen Ernst
I like this book there are a lot of things going on, but not too many that you don’t know what's going on. The ending is my favorite part although it is very sad. I recommend this book to people who are a little bit interested into the Civil War but also a little bit of realistic fiction and drama.
Theodor Geisel: A Portrait of the Man Who Became Dr. Seuss (Lives and Legacies Series)
By Donald E. Pease
