Kids Books - History

I love this book! It had lots of cool facts about Star Wars animals, including Sarlaacs, Blarths,Tauntauns, and Giant Space Slugs. Also, the illustrations were amazing! I think this is one of the best books that I have ever read!

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

wow this a good book i would read it again

how have i not heard of this book. i just HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!!!

“Sabotage” by Neal Bascomb “Sabotage” by Neal Bascomb is a Non-fiction book about a mission to destroy Hitler’s atomic bomb in the Vidda. Five Norwegian soldiers were chosen to complete this mission. A topic in this book is trial and error because the Norwegian soldiers tried several times to blow up the plant but failed a lot. A quote to represent trial and error is “It felt like a crater was opening in each of their hearts”. The author said this because a plane was supposed to drop more soldiers down into the Vidda but failed because the soldiers on the ground failed to set up the signal. I thought the book was boring because it lacked suspense and could have more plot. I rate this book a 5/10 because it did not grab my attention very well. I would not recommend this to people. This is my review on the book Sabotage and if you want to see if the soldiers destroy the bomb you will have to read yourself.

The Boy at the top of the Mountain by John Boyne is a historical fiction book. Pierrot is a young boy who grew up in Paris and is sent to Bavaria which is a free state of Germany. Topics addressed in this book are Holocaust, family, racism, orphanage. The theme of this book is that one bad choice can affect your life greatly. A quote that stands out to me is one of the nazis saying “there is nothing to fear” showing that they had complete trust that Hitler and the higher up Nazis were in the right. I liked this book because it was super interesting to see how the author would portray a young boy and his life living at Hitler’s house. I would definitely recommend this book and would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

“A bone chilling tale not to be ignored” In my opinion this book shows the characters emotions and actions very detailed throughout the whole story. This book is great for someone who loves to be on the edge of the seat and wanting to keep reading no matter what. I would recommend this book to someone because the book has really detailed actions and emotions and shows what war and places were like back in WW2 time period.

I liked this book because of all the topics addressed including manipulation, politics and war. she also made a good point about how they had to un-brainwashed kids. Hitler once said “ I began with the young ones, the older are all used up” this quote represents the subject matter of the book. Miles

This book is really interesting, it’s cover is also really cool

You've probably seen tons of movies, but how were they made? How did that superhero punch through that wall? Where was that scene filmed? How did they make a movie with all those kids? In the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie, lots of work was put into the film. Just how did they make the movie? If you want to know, then read this book! This book is great for you if you watched the movie and wanted to find out more about it.
