Kids Books - United

Before reading this book I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be an amazing book. I read it with my class, because the teacher assigned it to us and couldn't put it down. Though it isn't entirely true story, the author, Jack Gantos, used his name for the main character and some characters are based off real people. Jack, a kid who has grown up in Norvelt his whole life, and when nervous gets bloody noses, is just starting summer vacation. But when he does some things that upsets his mother and one final act to set her off, he finds himself spending his time with Miss Volker, the old woman nearby, and the rest grounded in his house. Miss Volker has been it Norvelt her whole life and knows everyone there so she's in charge off the obituaries for the local paper. But whats starts as a normal summer job (against Jack's will) , turns into a mystery as the old ladies of Norvelt start dropping dead and can only take Miss Volker and Jack to get to the bottom of. It is a very fun book that will be making you beg for the second, just like it did to me, but luckily it will be coming out sooooon!!!!!!!

This was a great book! I loved reading about Rebecca and her family, who are living in New York in the early 1900s. It was very entertaining and teaches a lot about history and what was happening during that time! I really loved it and I can’t wait to read the next one!

This was a great book! It teaches a lot about history and what things were like during the 60’s. I really enjoyed reading about Melody and her family! It was very interesting and I learned a lot! This was a really great book.

Through the looking glass and what Alice found there by Lewis Carroll number of pages 185. The main events of my story were, Alice met Humpty Dumpty. Humpty then told her the way to find the way to find the Queens. Alice found the chess pieces and one of them was the Red Queen and the other was the White Queen. Then Alice met two knights and one of the knights wanted to capture her. Then in end Alice found the Queens again. They turned Alice into a queen! Alice had to learn all of the rules of being a true queen. I did like this book at some parts but, some of it did not make sence. When I finished it and thought about it, it all came together. The reason I liked it was because it is funny and it is how in the end Alice became Queen Alice. She was super cool about having to learn all the rules about being a queen.

This is a great book or.. maybe a comic! Her brother name John and your girlfriend name sammy! The greatest comic I ever seen!

Sammy meets birds! John scared bears and chase them! And this is the best comic ever I seen in the shop! Now your comic is my book! I read 20 times and her comic is beautiful! Thanks for reading my comic!

I really enjoy this book in which Jules Verne has done. It has some good illustrations. It has a lot of action with a side dish of a train, a spy, and a lot more. I really like this book because it is amazing

I would give this book a four star. I think the book does a good job describing Alexander Hamilton's life. First it talks about his early life and when and where he was born. Next it talks about his life as an adult when he founded many organizations. Lastly it talks about his later life when he died and where he was buried. I think this is a great book and you should definitely give it a try.

I agree with the other two reviews...the author is successful in making a boring storyline, and having a slow progressing character. I will never pick this book up again.

I love this book. At first i thought that this book would be boring but then when I got into it it was a really good read.

The Help Help: to give aid; be of service or advantage. Help is always in the shape or form you think it would be. My book is named The Help the author is Kathryn Stockett. The setting is Jackson, Mississippi 1962. Aibleen is a maid who works for Miss Leefolt she is also the protagonist the other protagonists are Minny Miss Celia Foote, Mister Johnny, all of the other maids, and last but not least Miss Skeeter. The antagonist is Miss Hilly. She dislikes Aibleen and Minny. In this great realistic fiction book Miss Skeeter’s mom gets diagnosed with cancer. It gets harder for Miss Skeeter and her mom. During the story Aibleen, the maids, and Miss Skeeter make a book about how the maids are treated and their life. During a talk show (when the book is published) one man says it might be about Jackson, Mississippi and the maids get worried there bosses will find out because they made it very secretive and disingenuous. I liked this book because i thought that the storyline was very interesting and bold. I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books about history WARNING= SWEARS probably seventh graders and up!
