Dear America: Behind The Masks

Dear America: Behind The Masks

By Susan Patron

Angeline Reddy along with her mother Emma and father Patrick at Bodie, California of 1880. Her friends, Chinese-American Ling Loi Wing and Eleanor "Ellie" Tucker. But the mystery uprises as Patrick Reddy, the criminal lawyer got murdered and was buried of which most people thought that he died. But for Mrs. Emma Reddy and Angeline "Angie" and Ellie knew that Angie's father isn't actually murdered. We also met few people; Sam Chung, Anionite Duval, Lottie Johl, Bessie Babcockery, Con Williams, etc. This is plainly based on true story of real characters and time of the place. Angeline Reddy is herself a fictional character but Sam Chung, Patrick and Emma Reddy, Ling Loi Wing, and Eleanor Tucker were all real people. - Happy Reading!

One-Handed Catch

One-Handed Catch

By MJ Auch

One-Handed Catch by Mike Auch is a realistic fiction book. The setting is Baseball fields, bleachers, Norms house, and Norms dad’s meat market. Norm wants to pitch for his baseball team, but his coach doesn't play him because he only has one hand. “You didn’t play baseball that well with two hands, how do you think you’re gonna make it with one? “If you’re gonna tell me what I can and can't do, you can leave.” So he asks the coach if he can pitch, and he says yes. Then he pitches and almost comes back to win the game, but comes up short losing 10-9. Topics addressed in this book are to Never Give Up On Your Dreams. I think this book is inspiring and true because it shows that people can do things they say they can if they have enough motivation. I would recommend this book because it's very inspiring, and it shows a one-handed boy being as normal as a person with two hands.

By Lauren Tarshis

I Survived is one of my favorite books I read this year and I really wish it was longer. It is a miraculous story about a town that gets hit by an EF-5 tornado and how they came together and rebuilt there city from scratch after everything was destroyed. All of the I Survived books in the series are great learning tools to teach about the past events of history.

Elijah of Buxton

By Christopher Paul Curtis

The book i'm reviewing is called Elijah of Buxton. Elijah of Buxton is a story about 11-year old Elijah Freeman who lives in Buxton, Canada. It is a settlement of runaways slaves near the American border. Elijah is the first child in town to be born free, so most people know about him and he is the best at chunking rocks and catching fish. What most people see is a boy who is scared of snakes and talks too much. Most of the time nothing happens but everything changes when a thief steals money from Elijah's friend who is saving up to buy his family out of captivity in the south. It's now Elijahs job to track down the thief. Will he get the money back? Will he get back home? You will have to read the book and find out. This book is recommended for 10 to 12 year olds because younger people might not know what slaves are and there are injuries in this book.
