Who Was Amelia Earhart?

Who Was Amelia Earhart?

By Kate Boehm Jerome

The book’s genre is biography and it was written by Kate Boehm Jerome and illustrated by David Cain. The story is about a woman who shows she is brave and shows that women can work. It says on pg. 3 “Amelia’s action proved that bravery and brains were not for male only.” The main character of the story is Amelia Earhart because when she was a little girl she wanted to try to fly by using a small buggy. She pulled to the top of the shed. She side down but she bumps into the tree. She then made it not too steep and it was perfect. The two key events that happened in the story are in New York City and the store was the same as her name! It was called Amelia Earhart Flying Suit.” She wears a suit for speeches and she has over two hundred speeches. The main character changes from the beginning to the end by when she was a little girl she loved flying and in the middle she was taught how to fly a plane and each minute cost one dollar. She also helped poor kids that don’t have a family. She bought a plane and she tried to fly to Boston. In the end she wanted to fly all over the ocean but she didn’t fly to all the ocean because she was lost when she was flying in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Some people helped but they did not find the place that she was looking for so she and her plane may land in the ocean. Some people think that she was alive at that time but no one knows if she is alive. One unanswered question I have after reading this book is “who found her plane in the Pacific Ocean”. I have this question because it says she and her plane went into the ocean. I most enjoy this book because she knows how to show that only men can work but women can’t have a job. I would recommend this book because she was a pilot but it does not mean that she comes from a cover wagon, it means that she has a special spirit.

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (Origami Yoda #1)

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (Origami Yoda #1)

By Tom Angleberger

I origionally bought this book for my brother's birthday,but I decided to read it anyways. I really liked it because it wasn't all about some crazy intergalactic Star Wars adventure or some difficult Origami guide, like I thought it would be. It takes place in an average, boooring middle school. The main characters are a group of some dorky, some annoying, and some popular sixth-graders, and one in particular, Dwight, who is not in any of those categories. Dwight would just be classified as one thing: unbelievably wierd and totally bonkers. He walks around with a finger puppet that looks like Yoda that gives out advice. Some of the kids believe in Origami Yoda because of all his great advice, but one kid, Harvey, refuses to believe in Origami Yoda even though his life's a mess. The other kids can't decide if Origami Yoda is real and tapping into the force, or if Dwight is just trying to make them look like fools for making fun of him, so this is the case file to figure out if Origami Yoda is worth listening to. This book is absolutely FULL of laughs!!

The Pearl (The Originals)

The Pearl (The Originals)

By JOHN STEINBECK

wow, i don't know what to say besides THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT!!! In every single chapter drama and even a little accidental comedy is introduced. There are constant twists, changes in characters ('wink wink kino') and I am always satisfied with the chapter. I would recommend this book to any kid over 10 and any adult or teenager. I am sure you will at least love it!

The Cay

The Cay

By Theodore Taylor

This was an sad yet interesting book. It gave a great message that under different colored skin, we are all the same. At some parts, I almost cried and at other parts, and was very happy. I don't want to give away to much, but here's a little summary. A white boy named Philip gets stranded on an island with a black man named Timothy. Philip has learned to stay away from black people, but Timothy is quite different. They go through extraordinary things together and grow fond of each other. I would recommend this book to 4-6 graders and to people who like adventure and historical fiction. I personally loved this book.

Holes

Holes

By Louis Sachar

If I had to choose one word to describe this book, it would be: AWESOME! Hit rewind-- flashback time! The great-great-great grandfather of present day Stanley is chasing after a girl. Not just any girl, but the most beautiful girl in town. But someone else also wants to marry her- an old 60-year-old farmer! The only way to get her hand in marriage is to bring her father the largest, fattest pig. Not having something to bring, young Stanley goes to Madame Zeroni, who gives him directions to climb the mountain, and have a pig drink water from the river, while singing a special song. On the last day, he should bring Madame Zeroni up the mountain and have her drink while he sings the song. If he doesn't fulfill this, his whole family will be cursed. Stanley never carried Madame Zeroni up the mountain. Is the curse real? OK, fast-forward to now: Present-day Stanley Yelnats is an average boy, until one day fate hits him in the head. No, literally, it hit him in the head!😂 A pair of valuable sneakers fall out of the sky as Stanley is walking home from a hard day at school and the police believes Stanley stole them! He has a choice for punishment once he arrives in court: he can either go to jail, or go to Camp Greenlake. Easy decision, right? Camp Greenlake, of course! But Stanley soon figures out that this camp doesn't even have a lake! It's been long dried up. Every day at this camp Stanley must dig a 5 by 5 hole in the hard, crusty, desert ground. Not much better than jail! One boy nicknamed Zero asks Stanley to help him learn to read and write in exchange for help shoveling his hole. After Zero runs away, Stanley runs after him-- but they have no water. Can they survive, and will the curse finally be broken? And what are the holes kids have been forced to dig really for? This book was so good! The plotline flowed together, and I was hanging on the edge of my seat to read more! The story itself is brilliant, I would have never thought of it myself! 5/5❤
