Parvana lives in Kabul, Afghanistan with her mother, her father, her older sister Nooria and two younger siblings, Maryam and Ali. Soon after the novel starts, Taliban soldiers come into her house and arrest her father for not having an Afghan education, instead going to university in a different country. Parvana and her mother go to the jail nearby to see if her father was taken there, but the guards are unhelpful. Soon after her mother becomes depressed and will not move. The family starts to starve, as they have no male escort and so cannot go outside. Her mother and Mrs. Weera decide to make Parvana disguise as a boy by cutting her hair and making her wear her dead brother Hossain's clothes so that she can buy groceries seeing as she is the only girl who was of age and her body had not developed, and as it worked so well she starts to do it every day. Eventually, she continues her father's business of reading and writing letters for people that can't. Parvana runs into a girl who she used to go to school with named Shauzia who has been put through the same experience. They start to work together and soon become close friends. They were never that close in school but they are now trying to figure out ways to earn more money. They come up with an idea of a portable "shop" by using trays to move their items around. To do that they needed money to buy trays. They find a way to get a lot of money by digging up bones from a grave. Parvana also meets a family friend named Mrs. Weera, a former physical education teacher who comes to stay with Parvana's family to help her mother get well with her granddaughter and takes charge of the household because Parvana's mother has become severely depressed over the loss of her husband. Eventually, Parvana's mother begins to feel better and eventually teams up with Mrs. Weera and a group of other women to write the Afghanistan National Magazine, smuggling it to and from Pakistan to be published. Throughout the book, Parvana grows closer to her older sister Nooria, and becomes more responsible and stronger emotionally as a person. She also becomes very close with a woman who appears in the window of a building behind where Parvana works. This woman throws small gifts onto her blanket while she is there. The climax of the story comes when Parvana's seventeen-year-old sister Nooria announces that she is leaving for Mazar-e-Sharif to get married to a boy, because there is no war and she will be going to college. She leaves along with her mother and younger siblings, but Parvana stays since she looks like a boy and her appearance will be difficult to explain and be kept secret. Despite being against it at first, Parvana grows to accept her sister's decision. Parvana remains in Kabul with Mrs. Weera. One day after work, she meets a runaway girl from Mazar-e-Sharif who is deeply upset. Parvana leads her home at night, and soon the girl, named Homa, tells them that Mazar-e-Sharif has been captured by the Taliban. Homa's family had been murdered by the Taliban, and she had been extremely lucky to run away. Mrs. Weera gladly takes her in and Parvana is very worried since the rest of her family is there. One day, Parvana's father returns home, being led by two kind men who found him released from jail, but unable to get home due to the loss of his leg. Mrs. Weera, Homa, and Parvana nurse him back to health, and the novel ends with Parvana and her father leaving to Mazar, hidden in the back of a truck. They will search for their family in refugee camps. Shauzia, who had been planning to run away from her difficult family so that she would not have to marry and could start a new life, tells Parvana that she will be leaving with some nomads. They plan to meet in 20 years in France, at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

I absolutely LOVE this series! The graphics are so good, and the way the words are shaped, match the meaning of the word. In this book, Geronimo Stilton, a talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City, in Mouse Island, wants to travel back in time so he can become the ruler of Mouse Island. Along the way, he experiences what it's like with Christopher Columbus, and other explorers. If you like adventure and graphics, I would definitely suggest that you read this book!

Jack and Annie went back in time. They needed to get a feather to undo a spell that Teddy accidentally did on Penny the Penguin. They met Abraham Lincoln. Abe Lincoln played a trick on them - he was acting like a different person. At the end of the book, they still need to go on some more missions to get things to undo the spell. I loved this book so much that I read it three times. 😍 😃 😁

in The Devil's Arithmetic, a girl from a Jewish family in New Rochelle, New York, finds herself magically transported to a village in Europe during World War II. The villagers,who are all Jewish, are taken by Nazi soldiers to a concentration camp and you have to read it to see what happens next.

BE BRAVE STAY WILD I WILL SEE YOU ON THE NEXT ADVENTURE!!!!!!

Our second grade class really enjoyed the time travel and loved giving Shep an Irish accent. We go to a Catholic school, so we were very familiar with all the things about the Church and sacraments. We liked the part when Patrick threw a rock at the sailor even though we know that isn't usually a good thing to do. Can't wait to read more Chime Traveler stories!

Ranger in Time Rescue on the Oregon Trail, by Kate Messner, tells that even if you might digress in practice, when a real emergency comes, you might be focused and do your job well. Ranger, a dog, during his training sessions always got distracted by squirrels. Ranger had found a small old box, and it magically transported him to 1850, when Sam Abbot and his parents and sisters were leaving to go on the Oregon Trail in Missouri. Along the way, there are many problems, such as Sam’s friend, Sarah, losing her parents because of an infection, almost getting run over by a bull stampede, and the strong currents of the Snake River. Sam’s uncle and aunt had moved to Oregon some time earlier, and now Sam’s parents and their children were moving to that same place because of the rich farmland they had heard of. Ranger had helped a lot to save Sam and his friends and family on the trail by saving them from the bull stampede and the Snake River, and with the small old box he had found, he time-traveled back to the place he discovered the box. I recommend this adventure book for boys, grades third to sixth.

The town of Fry is a magical place located in Logan County. Strange animals live there and weird things happen at Fry. Otto and. Sheed, the town's adventurers, have survived many dangerous adventures in Logan County. But can they make it out of this one alive? One day, on the last day of summer, Otto and Shee go onto Harkness Hill to discuss ideas for adventures. Suddenly, a stranger appears and presents them with a camera. They take a picture, but soon, all of Fry is frozen in time. Who is this villain? And more importantly, how can Otto and Sheed unfreeze Logan County. This book was great, but the time travel sometimes didn't make much sense.
