Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice

By Phillip Hoose

Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice is a truly powerful and important book. It tells the story of a brave teenager who stood up against segregation by refusing to give up her seat on a bus—months before Rosa Parks. Claudette’s voice comes through clearly, and the book does an amazing job showing how one young person can make a difference. It’s emotional, educational, and deeply inspiring. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the real heroes of the Civil Rights Movement. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished!

The Force Oversleeps (Star Wars: Jedi Academy #5)

By Jarrett J. Krosoczka

For those of you who like comic books, this book has both comic strips and normal text. Victor Starspeeder is starting his second year of middle school at Jedi Academy. Victor really wanted to get the lead role in his school's musical, but a new kid who seems better at everything gets the lead. To make things worse, Victor oversleeps (which means he's always late), the flight simulator makes him through up, and rumors are going around about his older sister, Christina, turning to the dark side. When Victor spies on Christina, he sees her getting along with a Sith. Eventually, Victor becomes friends with the new kid and he stops throwing up in the flight simulator! Fortunately for the musical, Victor designs an awesome monster costume, which makes the musical a huge hit. And it turns out that Christina wasn't turning to the dark side, but instead a hero. I recommend this book to all the Star Wars fans out there!

LEGO Star Wars in 100 Scenes

LEGO Star Wars in 100 Scenes

By Daniel Lipkowitz

This book is extradionary full with lego star wars! The book requires some lego star war toys and history of Dark Vader, Master Yoda and much more. I was interested with the light-saber fencing of different skills to beat your opponent and the best attacks and defences and I personally learned the block with turning over your light saber upside down, It also requries stories of that type of Jedi. I will recommend this book to Star wars fans and to Jedi Acadamemy fans.

The Chronicles Of Narnia (7 Book Series)

The Chronicles Of Narnia (7 Book Series)

By C.S. Lewis

Yesterday I read Silverbell. It talks about a girl named Jill Pole to rescue a long lost prince. The prince’s father is sad because there’s no prince to become king after him. The girl travels through an underground world called The Land Of Bism where gnomes roam, eating diamonds.Gnomes are critters like humans, but have a hundred toes. My favorite part is when she gets to the house of the ManChomping Giants, giants who eat men for dinner. First, some lazy men were sleeping nearby. Jill picks the men up and tosses them into the ManChomping Giants’ house. The giants’ house was a big stone fortress, but it had windows on the floor. That part was the funny bit. Then, the girl goes to the Land Of The White Witch, and finds the prince by breaking the witch’s spell. They broke the spell by breaking a silver bell. Finally, they must battle the witch. That part was the scary bit. The moral of the story is to keep trying, even when things look hopeless. I like the story because they had a grand party at the end. If you want to see if they beat the witch, read the story!!!
