(I didn't finish this book) Although the title suggests Benjamin Franklin is the main character, the story follows a young girl named Patience. When her master dies, Patience runs away and tries find the culprit. I think many people may enjoy this book.

One Came Home (Newbery Medal - Honors Title(s))

Okay, this book is amazing! Georgie's sister, Agatha, runs away when Georgie blurts out something she shouldn't. A couple days later, an unidentifiable body wearing Agatha's dress is found. Georgie refuses to believe Agatha is dead, and sets out on a journey to find her, along with an unexpected companion. Great book!
The Monstrumologist
By Rick Yancey
The Monstrumologist was an exemplary book with the perfect mix of Adventure, Horror, Science-fiction and even a touch of Historical Fiction. I was pleased with the fact that there was no Romance within this novel (a genre I despise). The suspension was exhilarating, and I kept flipping pages. The amount of detail painted a vivid picture in my mind and often made me reel in disgust or gape at the amount of dedication it must have taken to create a book with so many layers and sub-mysteries. I recommend not consuming any food or drink while reading this book, because it gets delightfully gory at some parts. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you pick up this book and start reading. It won't fail to impress! The preferred age range would be 13+ and it will appeal mostly to males (since little to no romance exists in this book). There is a touch of mature content, but nothing you can't handle. I loved this book (it is one of my favorites) and you will too. (Remember, it's part of a series!)

May B.
By Caroline Starr Rose
The book that I am reading is called MayB by:Caroline Starr Rose. This book takes place in the 19th century and it is about a 12 year old girl named Mavis Elizabeth Betterly (May B) who lives on the prairies of Kansas. Her parents send her 15 miles away from her home to help a neighbor with some chores just until Christmas. But the people she was staying with abandoned her, so she is forced to prepare for the long and harsh winter alone. I thought that MayB was a book to help the reader if they had struggles too because May B was always afraid and insecure about her abilities, later on in the book she has to overcome her fears and insecurities. And this was supposed to show that the reader or anybody can do the same. This genre is realistic fiction because the things in the book didn't actually happen to that specific character (s), but It could have happened to anybody during that time period. The kind of audience that would like to read this book is the audience that likes survival stories.The kind of audience that would like to read this book is the audience that likes survival stories because May B has to survive the long and harsh winter. An internal conflict in this book is when May B struggles to overcome her fears and insecurities. An external conflict in the book was when May B had to prepare for the long and harsh winter when she was abandoned. I would give this book 3 1/2 stars because it was interesting but also a little boring(especially in the beginning).
Henry's Freedom Box: A True Story from the Underground Railroad
By Ellen Levine
I like the book but not the part when he lies so he can get to freedom because he did not like working for a white man who would boss him around so he Put something on his hand that burned a hole right through it so when he was bandaged up by his master and shipped himself to Philadelphia to get away from slavery and he finally had a real birthday.
