I really enjoyed this one! It wasn't exactly what I was anticipating but it was still good in it's own right. I would definitely classify it more as a Middle Grade novel than an Young Adult one, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my reading of it. I was put off a bit by some of the phrasing of things and the fact that this was basically one long letter but I wasn't sure who it was addressed to or if I was supposed to be someone in Melia's life. I thought that there was a good mix of believable good things that came out of this and some things that were almost too good to be true. And while it works in some novels, I found that this one could have used with more of the down and out sort of feeling rather than the happily ever afters. There were definitely some things that went wrong, but it felt like it went up and up and the real issues that could have set them back didn't really do so. And I feel like that made me feel a bit cheated for the story. I did really like all the characters though. I thought Melia was really strong and tough and while she sounded older than 14, I could believe it through context and timing. I feel as though with historical fiction, you can get away with how your MC sounds and acts because of context and this was definitely one of those instances. I think she was really brave and did anything and everything she could to survive and keep her family together. I liked that she was really innovative but also still a child and allowed to be a child in this story. I think the family was really well constructed. I liked that everyone had their role but they were also really dependent on one another. I think there was a lot of pressure for Melia to be the leader but she defected when she had to because it was the right thing to do. I really liked this one. I thought it felt like the time period, had a really strong main character, and enough hope to mix with the sad parts that I found myself smiling as much as I did crying. Overall a well rounded novel with a great message that no matter what life throws at you, you are stronger than it.

OMG I HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!! IT IS BY MY FAVE AUTHOUR AND IT SOUNDS SO INTRESTING!!!!

This is a intense, emotional, yet romantic story. The main character Sophia, was a normal college girl that was focusing, trying hard for her career, she had a really bright future in front of her. One night, she was pushed to watch a bull riding game During that game, Sophia finds out that her sight can't leave a cowboy named Luke. After the game, they somehow started chatting with each other, and had some chemistry. This encounter led to the first date, second date and so on. After those lovely dates, Sophia found out the tragically path of Luke's, he got seriously injured once. Sophia feared that it would happen again and she doesn't want to lose him, so she told him not to bull ride anymore, this became the conflict between Sophia and Luke. I really like this story because it talked about the concerns for love that will happen in real life, and also it's so romantic, very addicting. I also learnt that love never dies from that old couple that had also been in the background of the story. I recommend this book to everyone, no matter what you should give it a try! Enjoy :)

This book is face paced and exciting, and it has lots of mystery and adventure. A girl named Sophia is left to face the world with only a boy named Theo when her uncle is kidnapped. They must travel a long ways to find Sophia's Uncle's old college friend (who he might possibly still be in love with). I think my favorite part of this book so far is the way the author describes the memory maps, which are the type of maps that her Uncle makes. Memory maps seem so magical, yet scientific too. Overall, I would say that this book is good for ages 8 and above. The content is sometimes difficult to understand and some things are slightly scary. If you like fantasy, mystery, adventure, or action books, this book fits the bill.

Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse by Torben Kuhlman is about a mouse who wants to go to America to get to his mouse friends and to escape the cats and mouse traps. The problem is that the mouse can’t get on a ship to get to New York, so he has to make something. I enjoyed this book because Lindbergh, the mouse, continuously tries new things out to solve his problem. I also liked the story because the mouse actually makes a cool plan. Lindbergh even knew what to use to make the plane. For example, he knew that it could not be too heavy and that the plane had to be powerful enough to lift off the ground. If you like airplanes, you will like this book.

I decided to read this book with my class because it tied in nicely with a Social Studies unit about the United States following the Civil War. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and think my students will too.

this story is cool and inspirational. It's funny how he starts out terrible at football, but then he becomes a national superstar at it! amazing.
