Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance

Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance

By Simone Biles

"Courage to Soar" is a non-fiction biography written about Simone Biles and her story. The author of this book is Michelle Burford, the cover designer is Ron Huizinga, and the interior designer is Denise Froelich. This book has 250 pages to read. It is about Simone Biles and all the challenges she has faced to get to the top as an Olympic gymnast. She needed to learn how to overcome these challenges. With this, she followed her goal and achieved great things. Simone Biles learned that with determination and confidence, you can achieve any goal. This can help readers realize this as well. Having a rough life, it was hard for Simone. For example, she had to be separated from her siblings and she had ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) which is a condition where one has trouble focusing. Simone needed to get over these obstacles and hardships throughout her life. Did Simone overcome these struggles? Of course! This lesson has led her to all of her success and has improved her life majorly. The lesson is if you work hard and don't stop, you can be unstoppable. After all, you are learning this from a four-time gold medalist, I'm pretty positive she knows what she is talking about. Although, this book can be very inspiring, when you read it, it tends to get boring and unpleasant. This book talks more about her childhood leading up to her success with random facts. Only towards the end of the book, it starts talking about her achievements. This can get boring because you just read on and on waiting to come across the interesting parts. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend this book to people who like thrilling stories, but I would recommend this book to people who would like to get motivated and improve their life. In further explanation, this story can be extraordinary to some but displeasing to readers who seek action-packed books. This story answers a lot of questions I've had, but missed one. I would like to ask Simone Biles if when you sometimes get very stubborn and have an attitude towards people and coaches, do you ever feel bad about the way you treat them?

Where the Red Fern Grows

Where the Red Fern Grows

By Wilson Rawls

There are a lot of good and great books in the world, but Where The Red Fern Grows is definitely something special. Ten year old Billy Colman has his heart set on getting dogs. To be specific, he wants two coonhounds. He asks again and again for those two dogs, but as much as his parents want to get them for him, they can't afford two coonhounds for Billy. So Billy works long and hard so he can buy two coonhounds with his own money. Eventually, Billy gets the amount he needs and buys two coonhounds. He names them Old Dan and Little Ann. Billy works with them and trains them, and Old Dan and Little Ann turn out to be excellent coon hunters. They tree so many raccoons which Billy sells to get money for his family. Soon, Old Dan and Little Ann are more to Billy than his hunting dogs. They are his best friends. Where The Red Fern Grows is such a heartwarming story. I love the bond Billy has with his dogs. This classic is one of my favorites. I recommend this book to boys and girls ages 10+.

Nightfall (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

Nightfall (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

By Shannon Messenger

This book is amazing! On the challenging scale, I would rate it a 3 - super good! I rate it a 3 because I learned a lot, but there weren’t many challenging words. What especially surprised me was when Alvar was like, “Huh? Who’s Alvar?” It was a very cliffhanger-y end to the story. I also liked that Sophie got to see Amy/Natalie again. It was funny when Amy got ride on Silveny and she’s all, “Aggghhh! But this is sooo fun!” It would be cool if Amy could teleport with Silveny, but that would be dangerous since nobody knows if Silveny would come back. I think that 4th to 7th graders would benefit from this book the most, since I think that 8 year-olds wouldn’t understand it as much.

(Not a word by the way) And they call us and our human things different names, like they call us "Twolegs and Upwalkers" and our roads "The Thunder-path" and guess what?! Our cars are named "Monsters!" It is filled with, happiness, funniness and braveness altogether! It is amazing! I read like 11 books of them already! Thank Erin Hunter for these lovely books!

And when you read you can picture it all in your head and once you keep reading more it is a whole movie inside a book! All the new words you can learn and don't get me started on the herbs! Doctors,healers,vets can use the herbs in these books to help more and more animals! ( I have tried trust me) and even if ya can't afford them just tell me and I will send you the words in the book! I know them by heart! There are prophecies you can think about before you keep reading and if you don't want to they will figure out what it means...I can't spoil it but there is a cat named Firestar and Fireheart you'll know why he has 2 names soon!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

By Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (The Long Haul) is about an ordinary teenager named Greg who’s just trying to enjoy summer break, which had just started. Unexpectedly, his mom planned a surprise road trip. Most of their family members were unsatisfied with what she came up with and showed a reluctant attitude, yet they still went on that trip. Throughout the trip, events that happened were unexpected, none of them actually imagined anything like it would happen on their road trip. I can somewhat understand Greg’s feelings towards the trip because I had experiences of unexpected trips and unwilling to go to the trip as well. Also, his personality is just like any other teenagers, who wants to spend summer break on activities that interests them the most. I enjoyed the parts where their family had to deal with the pig that Manny got, it was exceedingly entertaining and I actually laughed out for a few parts of it. Overall, this is an interesting novel and I’ll recommend this to readers who likes to read about teenager’s life.

I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives

I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives

By Martin Ganda, Caitlin Alifirenka

bsc

This story opened up my eyes to other parts of our world, instead of just the United States. Caitlin Alifirenka is just a normal 7th grade girl. She has crushes on boys, wishes she could stay up later, and shops at the mall 24/7.  Martin Ganda is a boy from Zimbabwe, Africa. His life is hard- their family has no shoes, is going on the brink of poverty, and all sleep in the same room. Even with all of that going on, Martin is the best student in his whole school. He plans to finish school, unlike his mother and father. Unless some school fees will have to cut him off short. So when Caitlin has an assignment to write to a penpal in a different country, Caitlin picks Zimbabwe, for it sounds the most interesting. She asks in the letter what Zimbabwe is like, what they do there, what is their favorite so and so. Back in Zimbabwe, Martin is one of the smartest ones, so he is given one of the ten letters that received the classroom. His letter was from Caitlin, and asked him what life was like. Martin wrote back what they did and things like that.  But secretly, Martin was holding back. He was worried Caitlin wouldn't want to keep on writing if she found out that he was very poor. The letters are continuing, and both friends feel closer than they've ever been with anyone before. Caitlin goes through boy drama, and Martin is going through the drama of school fees and poverty. So Caitlin starts sending him money in their letters. This makes a tremendous impact on Martin's family and life. Realizing the impact, Caitlin and her family start sending Martin and his family care packages, gifts, and money. It seems like they've gotten over any obstacle. Except one. College. Trying to bring Martin to the US, Caitlin and her mother work frantically for colleges and money. Both pen pals have helped each other. Can they help each other one last time? A true story that is reread worthy, I Will Always Write Back, is definitely a fantastic book. Happy reading!
