Bull Run

Bull Run

By Paul Fleischman

This Novel really caught my eye because of the diversity of characters and I wasn't disappointed. You get views from either side of the battle and you get to see what it was like for those sides. Many of the characters allow you to get attached to them.

The Power of One: Young Readers' Condensed Edit

The Power of One: Young Readers' Condensed Edit

By Bryce Courtenay

Long, boring, hard to get through. I feel like this movie should be just an Adult book as I think Adults would understand it more. I know Brice Courtney is a great author, just not for teenagers. This book had a great plot but dragged on heaps and just made the enjoyment feel like a real downer. I don't like this book and the characters are so confusing it's hard to know what's going on and why. I suggest that you don't read this book, but that does not mean you don't have to. If you want a real challenge, and you think you have the smarts to read it, you should do fine. But hey, at least the movie is good.

P.K. Pinkerton and the Case of the Deadly Desperados

P.K. Pinkerton and the Case of the Deadly Desperados

By Caroline Lawrence

I'm impressed by Caroline Lawrence's ability to cut to the quick in this book. She treats adult themes in such a way that kids feel they are a part of the history they are reading. P.K. is a boy with Aspberger's who gets more adventure out of one day in a Western town than most of us would incur in ten years of travel. The book is exciting, page-turning, chilling, and quite amusing.
