Kids Books - Historical

Very inspirational and touching. Loved it!!!

I loved this book but I suggest not to read it unless you read the books that were before this one.

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.

This book DESERVES TO BE READ!!!! I loved Milo, he was my favorite!!! This is Helen of Sparta's story continued!!!! This is an EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!!!! This is the second book, read the first, then if you like it read this one!!!

although its not very moving....it portrays classic irish poverty back in those days and the strong religious views and conflicts between a catholic and protestant.Favourite line "when i grow up...i want to be a saint".....little did he know that you had to die inorder to be a saint!

I had foud this book at a garage sale and bought it .later I decided to read it and I got hooked like all the other Gary Paulson books did. I think it is a great book but it leaves you at a cliff hanger

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

it was a sad but good book

Este es el mejor libro jamás! Yo recomendaría este libro a nadie. Este es un libro que nadie sería realmente a y no se puede poner hacia abajo.
