Kids Books - Historical

I like this book because sometime the plot makes me nervous, sometimes it makes me wanna cry. There are a lot of different feeling and mood in this book. There are touching part, impressive part, Surprisingly part , also there are some nervous and dangerous part. So when I was reading it, I had many different feeling at the same time, sometimes I could get it, sometimes it's really complicated. But it's still a heartbreaking story.

it lookds cool and i'm very insterresten in wars my dad is in the army so i am very insterrested

I found this book at my school library, and thought it looked interesting because I usually really enjoy biographies and such. From the cover, you may think that Mary Mallon was an evil killer and that she attempted to kill the people she did, she was really just misunderstood and she herself didn't understand how she, a seemingly healthy woman, could be the cause of so many deaths. This book follows the over publicized typhoid carrier, Mary and what happened when the Board of Public Health decided to take Mary's matters (literally and figuratively) into their own hands, claiming that she was a danger to the health of the public. While this book may not be a John Green or Suzanne Collins book, it certainly is an amazing one.

Do you like historical fiction with time traveling and a smidge of romance? If that sounds like you don't bother reading my review any farther and just go pick up Into the Dim and enjoy it. I'd give Into the Dim 3 1/2 stars. At first, Hope (main character) was a claustrophobic, fearful, jittery mess that would have a panic attack at the thought of closed spaces. For me it didn't work - I was annoyed at the beginning when it seemed like every other thought was about how fragile she was. Finally, the panicky thoughts toned down and Hope got a little moxie. My other problem was that Hope didn't ask any questions. There were lots of strange things going on such as a secret room in the broom closet or her mom in a picture wearing a toga and she just shrugged them off like it's totally normal. When she did try to ask a question the other characters would change the subject or ignore her. She would not push for an answer even when it was obvious they were lying. This brings up my other issue - predictability. Hope didn't find out about time travel until about 50% into the book. Readers know about the time travel aspect from the beginning thanks to the book's summary, "...also a member of a secret society of time travelers." Having read Into the Dim, I can tell that the author has spend a great deal of time on researching the eras and infused the book with interesting facts such as kings and queens weren't called "your Majesty" until Henry VII's reign they were just referred to as "your Grace". I also enjoyed the romance between Hope and Bran. It was very cutesy and wasn't the main focus of the book. I would say that it wasn't insta-love only because of the backstory at the end of the book. Intrigued? Read the book. My favorite character was Phoebe, I wish she would have been the main character instead of Hope. She had a much better personality (so much more spunk) and I love her blue hair. Last problem with Into the Dim was that some of the scenes seemed cheesy, especially the fight scene with Eleanor in her bedroom. Might have just been me but... Anyway Into the Dim is worth reading. I was entertained and I enjoyed it which is what you look for in a book. *Thank you to NetGalley and HMH Books for Young Readers for allowing me to read this book.

This book is so far my favorite. I love, love, love San Francisco!!!! This book goes though the history of the Golden Gate Bridge with a few fictional events, but all factual, well, facts.

Sounds like a great book! I would read, this is the type of book I like, it is a little sad, it is also very realistic, I would give this book a 5.

This is a book quite similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid except this book is set in the Roman times. Dorkius has big dreams of becoming a hero and being amazing in battle, except he's clumsy and not very heroic. He gets training for practicing sword fighting, but he finds out a plan to kill the emperor and he manages to foil the plan and gets honored for it. I thought this book was ok, it was a little bit boring and it wasn't really amazing but there were some parts that were quite funny. I wouldn't recommend this book, I didn't think it was really good.

I am reading this book but, it is very informative,and historical. I reccomend this book.

i love liberty kids
