I thought this book was pretty good overall. It had a lot of good analogies and figurative language, and told a good story. It had a good ending as well.

This book is about Ida Mae Jones and her passion for flying. Her brother Able finds a program for her called the WASP. And where I'm at right now she's there, jumping from airplanes. The WASP's is training her for being an army pilot. The question is will she stay? She's trying to hide her identity because she's colored and that's a whites only program. She's having fun, but she's worried

Pretty good book. Although very sad:(

Very inspirational and touching. Loved it!!!

Patricia Polacco When Lightning Comes in a Jar Have you ever been to a family reunion? “My dad’s family will come soon” Tricia said. “We might catch lightning in a jar.” Tricia’s grandma said. “It is going to be awesome this year.” I love this book because they went to a family reunion and I have not. I recommend this book if you are seven-years-old and up and if you like cliffhangers.

Willow Run is a great book. In the story, Meggie is hoping that her brother Eddie will come back from the war. She lives in Rockaway, New York. Her Grandpa is a Nazi. One day some boys painted a swastika on her Grandpa's window. Meggie tried to hide it, but then disaster struck. Meggie's father had a new job making B - 14's in Michigan, and he wanted Meggie and her mom to come. To Grandpa, he offered him to come, but he said," No, thanks. I have a garden to grow, fish to catch, and what about Edward? Margaret may go, but what if Edward comes to an empty home? I must stay...." But there were tears in his eyes. Meggie didn't like it when her Grandpa called her and her brother by their real names, and she didn't really like to go fishing with him, so she was glad to go. But Meggie loved gardening, so leaving the garden will be kind of hard. Also, she wants to meet Eddie when he came home from the war. But Grandpa couldn't come, he would be in danger. And he mixed up his W's and V's, so she wouldn't want to stay home. so Meggie went along. If you read this book, you know what happens next. But if you haven't, read this book to find out!

Addie Ann, a young black girl just starting the seventh grade, lives in the segregated discrimination of Kuckachoo, Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement, 1963. She lives in a small, cramped house with her brother, Elias, her mother, and her Uncle Bump in the Negro side of town. Her father has supposedly died of pneumonia before she was born, and it has been, "stay away from whites but do what they tell you" since. Now, after a heinous, misunderstood "crime", her brother has run off, and her uncle has been accused of vandalism.

I like it I,m at the part where it's summer 1863

You leave home in a light coat to walk a half an hour to your rural school. Suddenly as it is time to walk back home at the end of the day, a blizzard hits, snow begins to blow, and the temperature drops to well below freezing. Could you survive when hundreds of other children didn't?
