Through My Eyes

Through My Eyes

By Ruby Bridges

If I'm being honest, this was a truly mature book. It was not your everyday, boring biography. This was actually quite entertaining! In this book, Ruby Bridges explains how she felt, going to William Frantz Elementary School, in the harsh 1950's. She did this to inform the readers about her perspective, and she wrote this because she wanted to inspire the next generation of readers. I liked this book because of the in-depth look of what her 1st grade year was like Ruby Bridges gives to the readers. I would recommend this book to 5th to 7th graders due to the mature topics that are in this book. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message)

Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message)

By Helen Taylor

I'm not done the book but so far it keeps reminding me of the way to heaven and how to walk away from satin. It reminds me of the lord and everything you need in life. My teacher is reading this to us and I'm reading on my own as well. He said every time you read it you'll get a different meaning and i think it is true. i love the name of the characters and how they mach there personality like Christin, talktive, faithfull. Great book.

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

By David Stabler

This book is a really relaxing and fun read. It tells about what the presidents were like when they were kids. Some of the presidents had ordinary lives that weren't the most fun to read, but others I was stuck laughing on. Plus the pictures are great graphic ones. My favorite story was the Ulysses Grant one where he was going to buy a horse, but made a mistake that cost him money. You learn so much stuff about what life was like in different times and it's really interesting. This book didn't take a long time to read, but it was sort of fun just to look through the stories, so if you want a quick read that is totally worth it, this book is for you!

Willa of the Wood

Willa of the Wood

By Robert Beatty

This is an amazingly written book by Robert Beatty! Although I did not like the Serafina series by him this book was truly..... there’s just no words about how beautiful this book is! The strong themes/messages about standing up for what you think is right, perseverance, hope, change, friendship and much more is truly what makes this book the best of the best. The strong tiny details everywhere in the book really make the story and scenes come alive! And I love that it’s placed in 1900 and in the Great Smoky Mountains! The cover art is colorful and gorgeous and it just has such a strong storyline and message! This book should probably be for readers ages 10-11+/5th grade and up, because it does have some violence, and some blood. Read it now! Please like and follow! Bye!

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

By Max Brooks

There are many name is for the war against the undead. "The crisis" "world war z" "the dark years" -- One man decided that people needed the whole truth of "the zombie war" he wrote the Oral history of the zombie war. Interview hundreds of people who shared the horror the world went through when the dead rose and attacked humans and even animals. Millions of people died of starvation, zombie bites, no water, proper clothing or things like that. This was a very long book but I loved every minute of it. It was not like the movie or was set up more like interviews instead of one person's path. I would recommend this book to 14+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

It

It

By Stephen King

In a small town called Derry, a shapeshifting creature who takes the form of a terrifying dancing clown. A group of six kids who call themselves the losers club fight off the clown after IT kills multiple children who have the most of what IT loves. Fear. They think they have killed the clown-only to return to Derry in later years to kill IT for good. I can connect this to most adults today, children often have to be braver than adults. The losers tried to tell adults about IT but they were called crazy and liars. They had to take the matter into their own hands instead. I give this book five stars because it's fairly original and Stephen King had written many horror stories but this one is by far my favorite. (also because one of the losers Riche is hilarious so that brings the rating up-)

Ghost Boys

Ghost Boys

By Jewell Parker Rhodes

Kinda freaky, but it is NOT REAL. Which is luckily good. There is a kid named Jerome who was given a toy gun by his friend, and when a police officer thought he had a real gun, he shot the boy. Jerome died and his ghost lingered. He soon met other ghosts, who were all... brown skinned boys. They were all killed because they were black, just like Jerome. The person that started it all was their leader. Each ghost had one person who could see him, and Jerome's was the officer's daughter. He had shot him because he was afraid of him. And, basically.... he was just a ghost forever... :/ :( :'( This book was creepy, and might get kids believing in ghosts. So... what I got from the story was "DON'T BE RACIST."

Meet Molly: An American Girl (American Girls Collection: Molly 1944)

By Valerie Tripp

This is the first book in the American Girl Molly series! I loved this book! It had a very nice story, and it introduced Molly’s family and friends. I enjoyed reading about Molly, since she lived during the 1940’s. These books teach a lot about history and that is why I love them!
