A very sad but well written book, I did this book for my biography book report and it got me a great grade, this book is about how Jews lived their life and how the sad life was.

It was enjoyable and something you would read if you are alone and in a quiet environment.  I have read a virsion of her diary and it was one of the most touching books.    -Pico

Harry Potter #1-4

This is a good and exciting and time for predicting type of book.  Chutney and I[Pico] have only read numbers one, two, three, four, and Chutney is on the fifth and I am on the sixth.  This book is by a wonderful author named J.K.Rowling.  These books are about a young boy that finds out that he is a wizard.  He must face the challenges of a wizard boarding school and defeat the man who killed his parents and millions more.  Read it today!

P.S.  Our rule is read the book before the movie!

Inkheart

There’s nothing better then to sit back and read a book, perhaps Inkheart. Inkheart is a wonderful book by a great writer named Cornelia Funke. She is a New York times bestselling author. She also writes other books for example she writes Dragon Rider, Inkspell, Inkdeath, and the Thief Lord.  Inkheart is about a father and a daughter who can read things out of  books.  When they find an evil man who was read out of a book called Inkheart they must get rid of him to prevent him from doing terrible things.  The book is way beter than the movie!

When Will This Cruel War Be Over?

January 6, 2009 at 11:07 pm (Uncategorized) (, )

When Will This Cruel War Be Over? is a civil war diary of Emma Simpson by Barry Denenberg.  This story is a twist because Emma and her family and neighbors are Confederates.  This story is quite tragic because many people die and have terrible hardships.  The Yankees treat the Confederates terribly and even force Emma to live with her family on one floor of their home while the Yankees live there.  I give this book a 4 star rating because it is a great story while at the same time it is sad.  I recommend this book to anybody who is in to history and can bear sadness.

This book is a very good book to read and to spend your time with……..it is a book by a wonderful author named Brandon Mull. He has written a very famous series called Fablehaven also. This book is about these three kids that get tricked by a Candy shop girl and if I were to give this book a 1-5 score [the higher the better] in stars I would give it a five *****. I am sure you would enjoy it.Oh, and for a tip I think personally that it is really fun to predict in this book so I personally would……..have fun reading!!!!!!!!!
