Kids Books - Historical

one of my favorite war books. The only books I read are wars. Loved this book it similar to the vietnam version of the book and had great action.

Excellent read that includes great information on the Pilgrims coming to America and their struggle to set up a successful colony.

Pride, Nightingale, and Baby live on a small farm with Old Finn, who took them out of the orphanage. They are the Stars, Old Finn is their grandpa whom takes care of them. They live a low life without anybody knowing much about them; self-reliance is Old Finn’s way of life. When Old Finn gets ill and taken to the bigger hospital in Duluth, the Stars start worrying. They open a business where they do pony rides and sell popcorn and souvenirs, so they can get enough money to go see Old Finn. When they get a regular customer who writes in magazines, they start to grow suspicious of him, and they get enough money to visit Old Finn, but when they get there, he can barely say anything. As the Stars start worrying and fearing going back to the orphanage, they need a miracle to happen. In a heartfelt novel, Sheila O’Connor makes readers want to read more books of hers. My thoughts: I thought this was a really great book. The storyline was perfect, and the way she writes is really enticing. It was almost like I was there when I read it, going through the troubles with them. I love the cover, and how it is narrated by Pride, the oldest. I can’t wait to read more books by Sheila O’Connor, and I think she set this story in the perfect year; 1974. I enjoyed this book very much, and I think that you will too. Overall: 9 out of 10 Stars

This Book Is a great read and very interesting. I recommend this book is appropriate for 3rd-7th grade children. I hope you are with me

During World War II, a 12 years old boy called David is imprisoned in a concentration camp in Eastern Europe. He seizes the chance to escape from the concentration camp, and he starts his journey to Denmark to seek refuge. During his journey, he rescued a girl called Maria from the fire in the shed. The core value of this book is be hopeful, and be brave even though you are in a severe situation. I chose this book because the setting of the book is during world war II, which fascinated me. The story features a innocent boy who knows nothing about the outside world. The conclusion in this book is life is full of wickedness. I agree with the author’s conclusion that life is full of wickedness because I personally have too much pressure from school. I will recommend this book to my friends because this book is fascinating when David is on his journey to Denmark. He encounters many troubles, and he needs to find solutions to solve them.

This is a book is about a girl named Rachel who loves to ride horses. One day her horse gets sold. When Rachel finds a sick horse that needs help, she takes it in as her own. There has been strange fires in her town and Rachel and her new horse must find out what is going on.

This book is the squeal the Sphinx's Princess. Once again INCREDIBLE!!! My favorite book mini series!! Very hard to put down. PLEASE read the book!! INCREDIBLE story line and plot.

This book was AWESOME!!! It was like little house on the prairie, only an updated version. It was about a girl who has to go to this summer camp thingy with her parents and brother. But, the people there, don't allow any electronics or no clothes that aren't from the 1800s. The whole book just talks about that experience and the friends that this girl makes. I definitely recomend this book. Especially girls that are in 5th grade or middle school. It is sorta a mature book. Hope you enjoy it!
