Death is not new word for the Longtreaders, as the end would be here. But this isn't over for all of the rabbits who had fought their ways to this end, we wonder if Heather would survive, Smalls too. Would Picket turn out to be great captain to lead the unit to victory? Would Emma stay and not fight because of the royalty blood? So many questions in this book as you read through the story. For "The Green Embers" fans, there would be much more of where this is coming from. - Happy Reading!

Emma Edmonds, a girl who dreams about fighting for the Union but won't be allowed to fight due to her gender so she eventually decided to pose as a man, with the title of Private Franklin Thompson. Her fellow soldiers doesn't even know that she is a girl, fighting for the Union cause as they keeping on fighting for rights to ban the slavery. A news that saddened her about her childhood friend who died in action. Girls and women in that period of 1860s would often pose as boys and men, heading off to fight in the war as that is very common but on other hand, it's very cool to read about, especially this story is actually based on true story on real woman of Emma Edmonds. - Happy Reading!

The civil war almost succeeded in tearing the United States in two. If you are interested on this war read this book. I would like to give a big thank you to chocolate168 for following me😀 Have a bless day. Make sure to follow me.

To be honest, I absolutely love the I Survived series. The whole series is basically in the point of view of a person who survived a war, a horrible event, a terrorism attack, etc. It's basically a history book, but it sounds like a narrative and it's really to-the-point. This book is about Lucas, who loves football. When he gets a concussion during practice, the doctor says that his concussion is really bad for an 11-year-old. Lucas' parents decide that the sport is too dangerous, now that he has a concussion. Lucas has to talk to Uncle Benny, who taught him everything about football. He hopes that Uncle Benny can change his parents' mind. So, Lucas skips school and visits Uncle Benny (who is a firefighter in New York) and his dad, who works with Uncle Benny in the fire department. While they are talking, they were heading toward the Twin Towers when the first plane crashed! Uncle Benny and the firefighters (including Lucas' dad) tries to save as many people as they can. Lucas, on the other hand, tries to help as best as he can, but the room they are in collapses! Will everyone (or anyone) get out alive? Read this book to find out. I would not recommend this book to younger readers, because this is a very serious topic and not appropriate for them. Even though this was a short read, it made plenty of emotions rush through me - fear, angst, horror, and even happiness and relief. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I wept a little wept occasionally. One more thing: terrorism is an awful, awful thing, and I just hope that we can achieve world peace one day. Even if we do have one golden minute of world peace, I feel everything would crumble down again.. I'm sorry. I love this book, but I would subtract one star for not having a very good base or anything I can connect to.

Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst storms to hit the United States. It happened in August 2005, and it caused a lot of destruction, especially in New Orleans. The storm was huge, and it changed the lives of so many people. When Katrina hit, it was really scary. The wind was so strong, and the rain was nonstop. People were afraid their houses would be destroyed, and many of them had to leave their homes to find shelter. The storm caused the levees (which are walls that protect the city from flooding) to break, and that made things even worse. The water flooded the streets, and some neighborhoods were completely underwater. People were stuck in their homes or on rooftops, waiting for help. A lot of people had to go to places like the Superdome to stay safe, but the conditions there were bad. There wasn’t enough food or water, and people were uncomfortable for days. It was hard to get help at first because everything was so messed up. The storm made a lot of people lose their homes, their belongings, and even loved ones. Even though Hurricane Katrina caused a lot of damage, it also showed how strong people can be in tough times. Many families helped each other, and neighbors came together to survive. Even though it was hard, the people who went through the storm kept going, and over time, they started rebuilding their homes and their lives. Hurricane Katrina also taught us important lessons about how to prepare for big disasters and how to help people who are affected by them. It’s a storm that people will always remember, and it changed New Orleans and the Gulf Coast forever.

Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice is a truly powerful and important book. It tells the story of a brave teenager who stood up against segregation by refusing to give up her seat on a bus—months before Rosa Parks. Claudette’s voice comes through clearly, and the book does an amazing job showing how one young person can make a difference. It’s emotional, educational, and deeply inspiring. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the real heroes of the Civil Rights Movement. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished!

The Journal of Sean Sullivan is a captivating and emotional journey into the life of a young Irish immigrant working on the transcontinental railroad in 1867. The diary-style narrative brings history to life in a deeply personal way, showing not just the backbreaking labor and danger of the work, but also the hopes, fears, and dreams of those who built America’s railroads. The voice of Sean feels authentic and relatable, making it easy for readers to connect with the struggles of the time. This book does an excellent job blending historical facts with a compelling story, making it perfect for middle-grade readers—or anyone—interested in American history. Highly recommended!
