Keeping Safe the Stars

Keeping Safe the Stars

By Sheila O'Connor

Pride, Nightingale, and Baby live on a small farm with Old Finn, who took them out of the orphanage. They are the Stars, Old Finn is their grandpa whom takes care of them. They live a low life without anybody knowing much about them; self-reliance is Old Finn’s way of life. When Old Finn gets ill and taken to the bigger hospital in Duluth, the Stars start worrying. They open a business where they do pony rides and sell popcorn and souvenirs, so they can get enough money to go see Old Finn. When they get a regular customer who writes in magazines, they start to grow suspicious of him, and they get enough money to visit Old Finn, but when they get there, he can barely say anything. As the Stars start worrying and fearing going back to the orphanage, they need a miracle to happen. In a heartfelt novel, Sheila O’Connor makes readers want to read more books of hers. My thoughts: I thought this was a really great book. The storyline was perfect, and the way she writes is really enticing. It was almost like I was there when I read it, going through the troubles with them. I love the cover, and how it is narrated by Pride, the oldest. I can’t wait to read more books by Sheila O’Connor, and I think she set this story in the perfect year; 1974. I enjoyed this book very much, and I think that you will too. Overall: 9 out of 10 Stars

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

By Howard Phillips Lovecraft

When I got my hands on this book, I could see that it had gone through a lot already... the book was quite tattered and by the time I was done reading it, the cover had ripped off. xD It had quite an interesting cover though, although now only about a fourth of it remains intact. Well, I can only say so much about the paperback's history; but on the other hand, I could say a whole lot more about the content that lays within. Each and every story had such an interesting, well-developed backdrop and foundation that it kept me reading for more, story after story, page after page. Within these stories, I found an equal level of superior imagination and differentiation; while some authors might write horror stories that tell about ghosts, Howard Phillips Lovecraft might tell a story from a madman's perspective in a totally possible situation in our modern world. Having read this book, I would definitely suggest it to anyone who wants a challenge and anyone who is looking for a very thought-provoking and unique read. c;

I Am David

I Am David

By Anne Holm

During World War II, a 12 years old boy called David is imprisoned in a concentration camp in Eastern Europe. He seizes the chance to escape from the concentration camp, and he starts his journey to Denmark to seek refuge. During his journey, he rescued a girl called Maria from the fire in the shed. The core value of this book is be hopeful, and be brave even though you are in a severe situation. I chose this book because the setting of the book is during world war II, which fascinated me. The story features a innocent boy who knows nothing about the outside world. The conclusion in this book is life is full of wickedness. I agree with the author’s conclusion that life is full of wickedness because I personally have too much pressure from school. I will recommend this book to my friends because this book is fascinating when David is on his journey to Denmark. He encounters many troubles, and he needs to find solutions to solve them.
