To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird

By Harper Lee

Many said that Harper Lee would, in fact, not be able to write a good novel. Her first and most famous one, however, did prove them wrong. This is a charming classic that follows the journey of a small, six year old girl named Scout as she explores the wonder of growing up in a world ran entirely by adults. It's during the depression and Scout's single father, Atticus, is having a harder time then usual supporting her and her older brother, Jem, which is strange news for a lawyer. When he gets a tough case, regarding an african american man framed for harassment, he finds many struggles within the case itself as well as the input of his fellow townsfolk. Having grown up in a sleepy Alabama town in the 30's, Scout was sheltered most of her life from the reality that encompassed the rest of the world. She has never seen so much excitement in her life. The most unique thing about this novel is how the story grows. Most books allow you access to the main character's own mental growth, but this book showcases the development of an entire town and how changing one thing may lead others to turn against one another or rise up for the cause. In To Kill a Mockingbird, you will be able to relate to the mentally excelled main character and the way that she views things from outside the box and without a previous knowing. I recommend this book for an older audience because of its language and rather mature themes. It will always have a warm spot in my heart as one of the most touching and cleverly written books in existence.

I Survived the Hindenburg Disaster, 1937 (I Survived #13)

I Survived the Hindenburg Disaster, 1937 (I Survived #13)

By Lauren Tarshis

This adventurous book got me hooked!! So I read of the books from the series (here and there) because mu younger brother thought we should discuss some main important concepts... And I finally decided that I should just read the whole series in one sitting... So that's what I did... And after I received this book... you know it, I was ready as Lauren Tarshis (sorry for my lack of humorous puns... I'm still working on having funnier puns)... So what I love about this story is that it's straight to the point and relatable, yet very informative. I feel like that history is a huge part of daily life... And I bet your wondering... "history??? What does that have to do---Wait it's probably because I have history class every day at school---" Nope... well sure... but history is important so we don't make the same mistakes as our ancestors did (or if they made mistakes) and to have a better understanding with life, society, government, and how the world became the world it is right now! Ms. Tarshis is an amazing author with bright ideas and twisting it with main ideas we need to learn about as a society. This story focuses on the Hindenburg (a zeppelin) and it's whole story and the disaster of course... The author also spins the Hindenburg history with a little bit with the Nazis side of World War II... and I think it is an amazing idea how those two "history pieces" evolved together... Now along with the summary... Meet Hugo Ballard... ever since his little sister, Gertie, not getting better from her sickness... The Ballard family soon became desperate after multiple doctors, where it was settled that the family must travel to New York to get her cured immediately. So the only fastest and "safest" way to get Gert heal faster is to step on to the zeppelin, the Hindenburg. So just a little background history on the Hindenburg... it's not a blimp (although they are some similarities), they had luxurious food and cozy cabins, more than ten thousand people rode on the zeppelin, and it soon became a huge success... Going back to the summary, Hugo meets a friend along the way named Martha Singer, where her father plays a VERY significant role in this story <no spoilers>. Anyways this whole story is Hugo's adventure and exploring the zeppelin himself... but when the disaster struck... uh oh... DUN DUN DUNNNN... So what exactly is Marty's dad doing? Will Gert be okay? Do everybody survive the disaster? To find out what happens next and to answer all these questions... read the book to find out!!!! So my favorite part of the book is when Gert called a Nazi solider a deadly snake... and I also liked how the author added the dog, Panya, to the story... I absolutely love dogs.. so I was reading everything word to word... However there is one disclaimer... Nobody really knows how the disaster even happened and how the zeppelin would explode like that... there are many conspiracy theories that are really fun to read... so I recommend that too... But the author's theory of how the disaster could've happened could also work too... Like I said earlier history does play a huge role... and so now nobody really travels with zeppelins.. So read this amazing and adventurous book!!!!

The Blackthorn Key

The Blackthorn Key

By Kevin Sands

The Blackthorn key by Kevin Sands, basically this book is about a key called the Blackthorn key to solve an mystery involve killing, crime, dangerous codes. Christopher is an apothecary’s apprentice in London. He facing complex and hard codes, unknown mystery and puzzles or even creating powerful and dangerous medicines. The goal is to solve the mystery and find out the answer of many quest. This book is involving advance word, and this book I wouldn't suggest for the people who is under 5th grade. This book's story line is plan perfectly and well. I can't see any non-making sense part or unknown part. This book is very mysterious and complicated. I somehow don't understand part of this book but overall I would say this book is very interesting and insane. The things in this book is crazy and this makes the book more even greater to read. The puzzle and codes part is the part I enjoy, I love solving those kinds of things, Of course I don't understand but I will still want to solve it because the book's mystery makes me want to solve it and find out the answer.

A great book! Perfect if you want to build your vocabulary. It will be a difficult read if you're not used to reading this style, but The Scarlet Letter is very beneficial! Personally I thought the writing was beautiful, and I would recommend this book if you like classics. (Just make sure to have a dictionary on hand for some of the big words)

I Funny: A Middle School Story

I Funny: A Middle School Story

By James Patterson

Jamie Grimm is a middle school student in a wheelchair who lives with the Smileys (his nickname for them since they don’t laugh or smile); his aunt, uncle and their three children who don’t have any sense of humor, and gets bullied by their older son. Jamie is on a mission; to be the greatest standup sitdown comedian in the world. He is a natural at joking; his brain is wired for it. After school and on the weekends, he goes to his Uncle Frankie’s Diner and practices his jokes on customers with a result of endless laughing. Then, his Uncle tells him about The Planet’s Funniest Kid Comic Contest. Without telling anyone, Jamie starts practicing jokes everywhere he can; with his friends Pierce: who has a vast knowledge, Gaynor: who has tattoos and a nose-piercing, Cool Girl: who thinks Jamie is a book-carrier, and are very close friends, and Gilda: the girl with the frizzy hair. He also practices with the Smileys and tries to make the un-laughable laugh. He wins first place for the city competition-but will he win the state? What I thought about the book: I Funny is very funny. Extremely funny. I laughed endlessly. James Patterson is a wonderful author. After I read his other middle school books, Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life and Middle School: Get Me Out Of Here!; I raced to get this from the library. His books are almost like middle school diaries. It’s almost like he was writing his experiences from middle school. He writes so well. The pictures (by the awesome Laura Park) are a great addition to the book. Beautifully inked, they help you understand the story way better. S if you want some great jokes, for example (I almost busted a gut with this one) : “Hey, have you heard about the kidnapping?” ”No.” ”Don’t worry, he’s still sleeping.”; read I Funny. And if that doesn’t make you read it, then I don’t know what will. Xander
