I have read for a total of 2 hours this whole week and read 143 pages. I finished the book Full Ride and started reading Flush. Full Ride is a realistic fiction book because both the events and the characters in the book could exist in real life. This book is about ayoung  girl named Becca, who has been forced to move away from her hometown and live a sort of secretive life, which means not letting anyone know about her or her past. All because of Becca’s dad being sent to jail for his crimes, which left them with almost no money. Now a senior in high school, Becca realizes that if she applies for a scholarship along with financial aid, her concealed past could be disclosed to the world. But Becca has already applied for a scholarship. Could she have just put her and her mom’s lives in an abundance of danger?

Theme: The truth shall support righteousness.
I think this because in the end of the book the person who was causing havoc in Becca and Asher mom's life was finally caught because the truth about them came out. Also, the truth about Becca's dad and his crimes came out and sent him to jail for good. My favorite part of the book was the ending because it took me by surprise and I love surprise endings. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because it was confusing to me at some parts but overall, it had a great plot.

PGS: 100-272
Time: 3:00:00
My book is Realistic fiction because Hope is a fiction character that has to deal with real life everyday problems like us.
The book "Call Me Hope" is about a sixth grader from Oregon named Hope who gets verbally abused by her own mother. Hope wishes for the day when her mother will finally show a sign oft loving her. Hope is very creative with her mother though. Hope comes up with a point system for her mom that when ever her mom hurts her feelings, it is worth a certain amount of points in her chart. Will Hope's mom someday figure out that what she is doing is wrong and verbally abusive or will Hope have to suffer through her mothers unfairness?
Theme:
Be creative and persevere through life's obstacles and problems.
I think this is a good theme for the book because instead of Hope giving up hope that her mom will never like her, Hope takes a stand and creativity, with some inspiration, comes up with the point chart for her mom.
I liked the outdoor school part because that is when Hope starts to feel little like she belongs and kids start to treat her fairly.
I rate this book a 4.5 because throughout the book, you see Hope develop as a character and become more involved and appreciated with everyone around her.

I have read this book for more hours than I care to admit over the last few weeks. It is laden with HRC's perspective of last year's historic campaign. While I gained some degree of understanding of the failings of her campaign, I felt a bit ripped off throughout the book because she spent too much time rehashing old stories I read in her previous book Hard Choices. Despite this, I did learn so much!  One of the themes of her story is: Power and greed is rampant in our political system. Another theme: A mother's love transcends life's difficulties because Hillary's mother was instrumental in laying a foundation of love and of gender-free expectations.

In total I have read 430 pages and in total of time it took me, 7 hours in total to finish.
I think it is fiction because it talks about going to alternative universes, "magic" and fighting magical sports coming back to life.
This book's theme is that Friendship is the "glue" that holds us together. I think this because without their friendship they won't be even willing to leave their own universe, they need to rely on each other they trust eachother, they are willing to sacrifice anything they have in order to help one person, they care for eachother  they won't leave each other behind.

Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate, 249 pages

Genre:  Fiction/poetry

Home of the Brave is the story of Kek, a refugee from Sudan in Africa.  It is unique in the way it is written - although it is a story, it is written like a poem.  It is easy to read quickly, but it is important to take time and think about the words.  There is much symbolism and imagery.  When Kek's village was attacked, his brother and father were killed.  He and his mother went to live in a refugee camp, but that was also attacked and he was separated from his mother.  Eventually he was sent to Minnesota where he has to learn a new language and build a new life.

I think that the theme of this book is hope.  Different characters in the book approach their lives with different attitudes.  Kek is optimistic and hopeful.  Ganwar, his cousin, is the opposite.  Kek's friend, Hannah, is somewhere in the middle.  The way each character responds to challenges shapes their results.  They learn from each other along the way.

My favorite part of the book is when Kek meets Lou and convinces her to let him work on her farm.  It's a perfect example of how Kek creates his own luck and finds a way to improve his situation.

I would give this book 5 stars.  It's one of my favorites and I have read it several times.  I love the way it reminds me to find joy in the simplest of things.  It reminds me of how much I have to be thankful for.

I have read a total of 125 pages in 2 hours this week and finished my book, The Last Monster. The genre of the book is realistic fiction and fantasy because in the story, there are monsters and other dimensions which is not real. The realistic fiction side of the genre is there because Sofia, the protagonist in the story, has a normal teenage life with school and real life problems.
In the story, Sofia, the protagonist, has gotten her leg amputated and goes to the doctors. At the doctors, Sofia gets thrown a book by a strange girl. As Sofia starts looking in the book, she sees a blank page the page can write on its own and says that Sofia has been chosen to be the guardian of all monsters. While all this happens, the school dance is coming up for Sofia and she thinks that a new boy named Billy will ask her to it. A mean girl named Candy says that she will help Sofia get ready but Sofia is scared that Candy will try to do something mean to her. When Sofia goes to look at the mysterious book again, she sees a monster in person and realizes that yo be the guardian means to take care of the monsters. Sofia sees many more monsters after this. As Sofia deals with all the monsters, she can't tell anyone and Sofia's mom starts thinking that Sofia is keeping a secret so Sofia tries to handle this. While all of this is going on, Sofia gets asked to the dance by Billy. Will Sofia be able to handle all of this or will she crack under all the pressure?
Theme: The only way to get rid of your fears is to confront all of them. I chose this theme because all of Sofia's fears (the amputated leg and the pressure of school) come out as monsters and as Sofia takes care of the monsters, she is learning how to control those fears.
My favorite part of the book is when Sofia takes care of the Golem (a monster) because it is a really heartwarming part.
The rating that I would give the book is a 4 because it was very good with mystery and suspension but it was sort of predictable in certain parts.

The genre of "Refugee" is historical fiction because there are fictional characters in real events that occored in history.

A quick summary of what the story is about is starting with three young characters in different struggles and times in history. The characters are Josef, a young boy in the 1930's in WW2, Mohmoud, a Syrian boy in 2015, and Isabel, a Cuban girl in 1994. Starting off with Josef who is a Jewish boy facing threats of Hitler and concentration camps lurking, he and his family plan a trip for the other side of the world on a ship desprate to survive and to have a fresh start to their lives. Will Josef's family make the long journey in one piece? Or will they get captured to a horrific place to near death. Mahmoud, with his homeland being torn apart by violence, bombs, and destruction he and his family plan to make a long exhausting car ride to Europe where they are excepting Refugees to escape these terrifying sights and dangers of Syria. Will Moumoud and his family fulfill those dreams of safe lives? Or will they not be able to make in time do to lack of resources. Last but not least, Isabel, while living in a communist country and starvation in every family. Isabel and her family plan to set out on a raft to escape to the shores of Florida with a genorous two full gallons of fuel, will Isabel and her family make it to the beaches of Florida? Or will they get caught by one of the hundreds of coast guards in the area.

The theme of "Refugee" is that nobody can have a movie ending where everyone's ok, instead you need to make life changeing decisions to survive.

My favorite part of the book is when Mahmoud and his family make a gametime decision that changes their life forever, this made me get sucked into the story and never made me want to put the book down, it also made me know what it is like to leave the place where you have so much memories from.

So far, I would rate this book four out of five because there was non-stop drama where I couldn't put the book down at all refusing to fall to sleep at night. Another reason why is because the plot is very interesting with turns in every corner.

Book: Among The Hidden by Margret Peaterson Haddix
Pages read: 60-153
Hours: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Genre: Fiction
Theme: The theme of Among The Hidden is keeping a child safety can make you do some bad things like breaking the law. That's why in Among The Hidden Luke has to stay hidden so he won't die.
My book is about a young boy named Luke. His family has 2 other brothers. This is important because the government law states no family is aloud to have more than 2 children. That's why he has to stay hidden. Next, Luke has to stay hidden in his attic with one small window. But one day his goes into town and he sees his neighbor Jen. After that, Luke went to her house and somehow she new everything about him. She knew Luke was a third child and he new that she was a third child. Finally, they became best friends until one day Jen goes and protest infront of the president house and she dies. Read the book Among The Hidden to find out what happens to Luke and his family. The best part in the book for me was when Luke and Jen met each other because they had so much in common because they were both illegal kids that should be dead by now. I would rate this book a 4/5 because the book can leave you in cliff hangers.

Book: The Sight
Time: 2ish hours?
Pages: 370-end

The book that I'm reading, the Sight, is fantasy because the main character is a wolf who has the sight, and no one in recorded history can do magic.

A summary about what this story is about is that Larka, a young she wolf, can has the sight, a power that has been long gone, and Morgra has it, too. But Morgra uses her powers for evil. And with her power she wants to summon the searchers, the spirits of dead wolves of which she can control as her army, and worse, Wolf Bane, the evil one. Larka has to stop Morgra before it's to late. But, on her journey, she must face many hardships and challenges which would decide her fate.

I think the theme of my book is that love will always prevail over the darkness. My evidence is when Larka faced another character (NOT SAYING WHO) who was (at the time) evil, Larka reminded that other character of it's past and told it the truth, that character became good again.

My favorite part was when Larka met up with someone who she thought was dead and she missed a lot. This was my favorite part because I thought that that character was dead too and that character was one of my favorites.

I would give this book four stars because I didn't really like the ending, (I'm just starting to get over it and think it's fine) but everything else was AWESOME!!!

During this week I have read the book Refugee by Alan Gratz. The three main characters are Josef who is a Jewish boy who lives in Germany when the Nazis were after them. The seconded main character is Isabel who lives in Cuba after the Soviet Union was disbanded and Cuba was thrown into a crisis. The third and final third character is Mahmoud a boy who is living in Syria when there was a war. The book is about what they are doing to try and get to safety and escape the problems of their country for example because of crisis, war, or being judged for religion. They all have something in common is that they all are leaving in groups of people whether it's family or strangers.
I think that the theme for this book could be 'you have to take risks to survive' I think it is the theme because they all are trying to survive but they are taking big risks because they have to leave countries and not get caught also anything could go wrong with their ideas of leaving. The book is intresting because there are three different stories about three different characters in one book which I haven't seen before.

My genera is historic fiction. I am reading Refuge and it is a really good book.What is happening right now it that there are three characters Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud. Rightnow what is happening in Josef story is that he got kicked out of his house by people and they said that they have to leave before they come and hurt their father so they are on their way to cuba to see if they can be accepted there and right now they are just of the shore line and Josef has been hearing that they might not being accepting people so I think they may have trouble with that. In Isabel’s story here and her family want to leave Cuba to keep her family safe and free with new resources like food and water. Also they want to keep her dad from going to jail because a cop said the next time I see you I will arrest you so right now they are on their raft and headed to Florida. The final story I am reading is Mohmands story so one day his house was blown up by his own government with their tanks so they are leaving to head to Germany to be safe because they are accepting Refugees their so they are on a journey to get to Germany so right now where I am reading they are crossing a sea try to get to Europe. That’s what I am reading so far and I really recommend this to everyone this is a wonderful book. I rate this book five ⭐️ The theme would be “Fredom is worth fighting for”

I have read 1 hour and 40 minutes this week so far. I finished the book "A Monster's Call" by Patrick Ness on Monday, and I started a new book called "Wonder" by R. J. Palacio. In total pages from Tuesday to now, since I finished a book and didn't know how many pages I read, is 120 pages. The genre is realistic fiction. So far in this book, August, one of the main characters in this book, is overcoming his appearance in public. At the beginning I learned that August is born with issues and had many surgeries throughout his life; especially when he was a toddler. He had been homeschooled for a very long time. But now, he is starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep. August is still nervous about showing his face to the public even though every time he walks outside, people point at him and whispers to other people. August had made some friends but people are still talking about him. Now in the story, the point of view is now on Olivia or Via, August's big sister. She explains what it's like to have a brother like August and how his life affects her's. My favorite part in the story is when Via describes how August look like because that gives me a better view of why exactly people talks about August. The theme of this book is that appearance doesn't change who you are. I rate this book 4 out of 5 because it describes things very clearly and also sometimes make you feel bad about people and want to help them.

I read 2 hours in total from Monday-Thursday, I have read 107 pages. My book "The Fault in Our Stars" is a realistic fiction story about a girl who has cancer in her lungs who is learning how to be "normal." Summary:

Somebody: Hazel, the protagonist in "The Fault of Our Stars"

Wants: To be normal and have a life where she's able to have friends

But: she can no longer go to school because 1.) she has an oxygen tank kind of thing she has to bring everywhere and because of her cancer it would overall be hard for her to go 2.) she already has a GED and has graduated.

So: she goes to a support group and meets new friends.

Then: she does her best to live the little time she has to the fullest

The theme of my story is: Life is short so live it to the fullest, I think this because the protagonist Hazel has a one in five chance of living the next five years and has given up. Later throughout the story she learns to get out of her shell and meet new people, hangout, and overall have fun. My favorite part so far is when she helps out Isaac after he goes blind because it shows that she is empathetic and helpful. I would rate my book so far 3.5/5 only because some parts are boring since I'm in the beginning, but I think it will get better.

# data[].attributes.body
I have read about 100 pages in two hours.

Genre: historical fiction

Summary: Code Talker by Joeseph Bruchac, In the book “Code Talker” a character named Kii is very brave, one reason he is brave is he goes into big fight without a gun or anything to protect himself, just a radio. During those fights there are tons of Japanese soldiers that are willing to do anything to try and 🤬 him and his fellow marines. Kii is also witty, one time he did not eat his breakfast but wrapped it in tin foul for him to eat it in a foxhole while trying to hide from the Japanese.

The theme of my book is love is the strongest force, I think this is the theme because he is willing to do anything to stop his fellow marines from dieing.

My favorite part of the book is when he uses a towel to walk across the beach at night because he is scared of the crabs. I find this a funny part of the book because he is so brave but also extremely scared of crabs.

I rate this book 4/5 because I really like what it’s about but the beginning is a little boring.

# data[].attributes.body
I have read a total of 305 pages and about 3 hours of my book Full Ride. I think the genre is realistic fiction, because the people and the story are not real, but it could happen. There was no Becca Jones or Roger Jones that got arrested, (maybe there are Roger Jones that got arrested that I don't know about.) The main character is Becca Jones, she and her mother have just moved away from the plentiful life in Atlanta after her father was arrested. The move to a small town in Ohio were nobody knows them. Becca continues a normal teen life, she even makes friends but not even her closest friends know about her dark secret. Throughout the book Becca find out secrets even her mom didn't know. Becca want to live a normal life not lying about herself to everyone she meets, but she finds out doing this could cost her, her life. My favorite part of the book is when she finds out her father is in Atlanta, near her when she is looking at colleges and she realizes this could be her only chance to see him but that means telling her friends the truth. When she does tell them they take it so well and they even agree to help her, that was definitely my favorite part in the book so far. I think my theme is family and friends are the people who can help you through your bad and desperate times the most.

I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 because I love the plot, the characters and the setting but there are a few places I wish Haddix could be more specific about.

Call Me Hope
Total time reading: 1:45:00
Total pages read: 102-120
Genre: ?
Summary: SPOILER ALERT! Hope the main protagonist, wants a normal life and a normal family. Mostly she wants to be loved by a normal mom who is caring and nice. But right now she is harsh and selfish. Also, Hope reads a journal by Anne Frank and she becomes to have a strong connection with her. They both have abusing moms and they both have ways to calm down.
Theme: Parents are there to protect you but not all parents will.
I don’t really have a favorite part, yet.
I think my book is a 4 because, it is a good story overall but it’s kind of depressing. Also, I really love the book and i think it is really interesting and intriguing.

I read 114 pages this week and I read for 2 hours. I am reading a realistic fiction book called "because of mr. terupt." Mr. Terupt is in coma because he got hit with a snowball. The students in his class want him back because they realized how school was to them when he left. They couldn't concentrate on anything. They couldn't take it anymore and one day, Luke went to see Mr. Terupt at the hospital and Luke felt really bad for him because Mr. Terupt didn't have anyone else.

Theme: You can accomplish anything if you work together.
I think this because in the book Mr. Terupt tries to make all the students to be nice to each other because he wants to have a kind classroom.
My favorite of the book is when Alexia becomes nice because now all the girls in the class don't have to be bossed around anymore. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because some parts of the book were really sad but overall the book was great.

# data[].attributes.body
I started the book "Three Cups of Tea", by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin, in the middle of this week. In total I read for 2 hours and 35 minutes, and read a total of 167 pages. The genre of this book is memoir, because Greg Mortenson is looking back and writing about his audacious adventures in Pakistan.
In this book, Greg Mortensen, a caring and determined man, just barely survived climbing K2, the second tallest mountain in the world. In his exhaustion from just getting down the mountain, he wandered off the trail and found himself in a village called Korphe. The people of Korphe nursed him back to health, and treated him like one of their own. When Greg had gotten better, he saw that the children of Korphe didn't have a nice school to learn in, let alone a teacher that could teach them every day. Greg has promised the chief of the village that he will build the children a school. Now, Greg is determined to build a school for them to learn in, no matter what terrifying obstacles he must face.
The theme of this book, is that to accomplish anything in life, one must be perserverent. This is the theme, because Greg faces many struggles while traveling back and forth between Pakistan and the United States, and perservering through all of those struggles is what keeps him moving towards his duty, finishing the construction of the school.
So far, my favorite part of this book is when Greg got lost in the mountains, without any of his belongings, and picked himself up and found his way back to the trail. I like this part, because it shows the reader that sometimes you have to overcome your fear, think practically, and do what you need to do. After all, Greg's control of his emotions saved his life. Also, I like this part, because it Greg's dilemma is so terrifying, that it kept me on the edge of my seat.
I rate this book 5 stars, because it has a lot of action and it is fast paced.

This week I started at page 566 and now I am on 703. I have read for a total of three hours nonstop. My mom even had to tell me to just go to bed because I wouldn't stop enjoying the love of reading. Anyway, I think the genre for my book is fantasy because it involves magic and wizards and witches which make it fantasy. My book is about a younge boy, Harry Potter, who finds out he is a wizard and goes to wizarding school. There he meets friends and enjoys himself. But school is not the only thing on Harry's mind. An evil lord wants revenge on Harry for failing to 🤬 him along with his parents who are dead. Harry must learn how to protect himself from the dark side of the world, and focus on the light side. But that isn't always easy when you are being taught about your past every year. As Harry learns more and more, he must rely on his friends and trust them. My favorite part, is when Harry competed in the Triwizard competition because not many people get to compete in that and it doesn't happen every year. I rate this book a full five stars because it is action packed, it teaches a grand and important lesson, and it values true friendship.

I was hesitant to read this book, although it came recommended to me by several other readers. I was afraid the story was going to be sad and emotionally upsetting as the story is realistic/historical fiction about orphans and adoption. The author writes in two main voices which allows the reader to understand the past while the past is being uncovered in the present. The author reveals information about the life of Georgia Tann; specifically her abuse of power and mistreatment of children. I not only enjoyed this book, I learned about how one woman can be driven by greed and forever change the lives of hundreds of families.

I have read a total of 243 pages during the week for 2 hours, finishing my book. The genre of my book is realistic fiction because it
My book "So B. It" by Sarah Weeks, the book is about a young
girl named Heidi who lives with her disabled mother and her neighbor Bernadette who suffered A.P . Heidi has lived most of her life being taken care of by Bernadette because her mother can only say a few words. Though one day, Heidi finds some old photo showing her mother when she was pregnant with Heidi and a lady who could possible her grandmother. Heidi never new she had other family and quickly wants to find out more about the lady. Heidi found out the photos were taken in Liberty, NY and wants to travel there. Though because of Berrnadette's A.P, she can't go anywhere so she snuck out and bought a bus ticket. She finally did convince Berrnadette and started her trip. It was her first time ever going so far away from the house, but she had to stay strong so she can discover her family history. Only the way, Heidi met many ladies who convinced her to stay tough. So she arrived at  Liberty  to find some shocking things.
I think the theme for my book is, Sometimes it's hard to understand love because, My characters loves her mother dearly, but she sometimes gets very mad at her because she can't speak full sentences and she never answers her questions. Heidi's tries to understand her mother but it's hard for her. She had hope that once she found her grandmother, she would learn more and someone would be there to answer her family questions. Also, Heidi thinks Bernadette wants her to turn out like her, but really Bernadette just wants to protect Heidi.
My favorite part has to be the beginning of the book, you learn about some deep moments and so much about Heidi's that it's a very nice part of the book to read and learn about Heidi and what's yet to come.
I would give my book 4.5 stars, it wasent my favorite book but it was a really nice book to read

I'm reading the book "Game Changer" (it's not letting me underline the title) by Margaret Haddix. I read 137 pages this week in about 2 hours. The genre of the book is sci-fi because KT is transported to an alternate world. Summary: So far, the main character, KT, has gotten transported to an alternate world where sports and school switch places. KT wants to get back to the real world because she loves softball, and can't play in this world, but she doesn't know how. So, she tries organizing her own softball game in hope that it will bring her back. Then, after nobody shows up, she finds out that Max remembers the real world too. I think the theme of my book is change is hard, and will not always benefit you because this alternate world makes KT very unpopular, makes her parents favorite her brother, and she can no longer do the sport she loves. So far, my favorite part of the book is in the very first chapter when KT is still in the real world and playing a softball because it is very action-packed. I rate this book 3/5 stars because the topic just doesn't really pull me is, but I do want to keep reading because I want to know what happens to the character.

I have read 73 pages this week, and read I read so far for 80 minutes.
The book I have been reading this'll week is The Lions Of Little Rock by Kristin Levine. The Lion soft Little Rock is a Historicla Fiction book, because the time period of this book is based around the time of segregation.
Marlee, the protagonist in the book, wanted both black and white people to be allowed to go to the same schools and be treated fairly. Most importantly because she wanted her best friend Liz, who go to caught passing as a white in Marlee's school, to be able to go to her school again. Marlee's other dream was fo her older sister Judy to have her school back up and running so she can come home. But those dreams were difficult for Marlee to make come true because of the laws of segregation. And because many people believed in segregation, and who knows what they'd do to Marlee? So as the book continues, Marlee joins the WEC (Women's Emergency Comitee) which helps bring the schools back. She also joined STOP which works on stopping segregation and learning equality. Then as the book continues others join Marlee's side such as her own mother and together they all fight for what is right. The theme for my book is Segregation, becuase throughout the whole book, Marlee is motivated to stop segregation, and to bring back her best friend Liz and her sister, Judy. Secondly, Marlee has others join her battle field, as her family joins her side after she becomes closer or even drifts away they find how their friendships through stopping segregation. My favorite part is when Marlee gets locked in the trunk of Red's car and is locked inside with the dynamite as he drives off. Because that small part of the book was so intense you wondered Will Marlee get caught? Will Red hurt her? Will Marlee have to move to Pine Bluff? I'd give this book four out of five stars. Because at times the book wasn't as interesting and exciting as most parts of the book, for example when Marlee folds the flyers for the committees she is in. But other times for example when Marlee had to give her presentation were exciting and very intense because you wouldn't have even thought she'd speak to her class.

I have read 150 pages in 2 hours this week so far

Summary: In the book "Call me Hope" the main character Hope  gets verbally abused by her mother a lot, she swears at Hope even at her school in the PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE. Hope's mother also isn't a very good role model either she smokes, swears, and is very discouraging to her own daughter. hope even once called a kid in her school on the bus a curse word and so she was banned from the bus. Hope hangs out at  clothing store a lot that is called Next to New. she wanted a pair of purple boots that caught her attention and then she worked really hard to earn the money to get them but I won't tell you what she did to earn the money and spoil it more.

Theme : Sometimes word hurt because Hope sometimes almost cries  when her mom makes her feel bad but she knows to hold it back because her mother will go ballistic and bonkers. Also once she kind of called Hope an accident .

I rate this book a 4.1525525252556789059005555/5 because when it gets boring right after it becomes more interesting.

"I read Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel. I read from page 118 to 232 with my mom. I have read, maybe 1 hour. The story ( Amelia's response, "The what?") is fiction because it is from frog and toads house and they are talking. Frog and Toad are friends and they go on big long walks with each other and have fun. The theme is to be nice. My favorite part was when, umm, frog and Toad went in the lake for a swim, hahaha, but toads can't swim and Toad wears a funny bathing suit, he wears like a black with yellow sides funny bathing suit. Can you picture Toad wearing it? He is so funny. 5 because it is funny and they are friends and are nice to each other. "- Amelia Petralia, written by Camden

I'm reading the book "Game Changer" (it's not letting me underline the title) by Margaret Haddix. I read 137 pages this week in about 2 hours. The genre of the book is sci-fi because KT is transported to an alternate world. Summary: So far, the main character, KT, has gotten transported to an alternate world where sports and school switch places. KT wants to get back to the real world because she loves softball, and can't play in this world, but she doesn't know how. So, she tries organizing her own softball game in hope that it will bring her back. Then, after nobody shows up, she finds out that Max remembers the real world too. I think the theme of my book is change is hard, and will not always benefit you because this alternate world makes KT very unpopular, makes her parents favorite her brother, and she can no longer do the sport she loves. So far, my favorite part of the book is in the very first chapter when KT is still in the real world and playing a softball because it is very action-packed. I rate this book 3/5 stars because the topic just doesn't really pull me is, but I do want to keep reading because I want to know what happens to the character.

Genre: Historical fiction- I think A Long Walk to Water is historical fiction because it took place in the 1990s to 2009. It is about the war in Sudan and overcoming long walks to water. This hints it is historical fiction because it is about a historical event and it takes place during a historical time period.

Theme: The love for your family will always take over the hate and poverty of the world. I think it's this theme because in the story both Nya and Salva have so much love for their family they forget and overpower the hate of the war and the poverty of their country.

Summary: Along Walk to Water is a historical fiction novel. It takes place in the 1990s and 2009, during the war in Sudan. This novel is told by two different perspectives. Nya’s, a strong kind girl in need of clean water for her family, and Salva’s, a brave adventurous boy who is running away from the war, now in search for his family.

Nya, a strong hard working girl, walks to a pond miles away, and gathers water beneath its muddy surface. This daily walk consists of wild animals, the beating hot sun, and painful thorny plants. Her village soon realizes this awful, dirty water is extremely unhealthy for the people. Volunteer workers suddenly come and help the village with there water crisis. They additionally build a school as well. In the end Nya is very grateful for the work the volunteer workers have done.

Salva, a young brave boy, is in school one day when his village gets attacked by the government soldiers during the war. He runs as far as he can from the fighting into the woods with several other people. He ventures with a group just walking and walking with no food or water, barely staying alive. He meets his uncle and then arrives at a refugee camp very far away from home. He grows into an adult while transporting between many camps. The whole journey Salva worries he will never see his family again. He soon realizes he might have a chance at having a better life, and chance to see his family!

Favorite part: my favorite part of the book is when Salva’s school is being attacking by the government soldiers. I like this part because I could see what Salva was thinking. This part had a lot of description, suspense, dialogue, and inner thinking from Salva. I liked how this part was written.

Stars rating: 4 stars. I choose this book to be 4 stars because I loved how it was written. There was a lot of description, dialogue, and suspense. I also liked the plot. The story was intriguing and suspenseful. I love how both perspectives connect and meet. However, I also think that the author could have including more of Nya’s story. I think Nya’s story wasn't added into the book as much as Salva’s. I think the author could have expanded Nya’s story and made Nya’s story a little bit longer.

The book I read for roughly 3 hours this week is a book titled “Scythe” by Neal Shusterman. The book is set in a futuristic time period where disease and old age are non existent looking old? Merely go to the doctors and look as young as you’d like. Even if you did die, say in a car accident you would simply be brought to a revival center were within the next few days you’d be good as new. There is a catch since no one dies population grows at an extreme rate so there a people called “Scythes”. A Scythe is someone who as living must glean (🤬 someone permanently) people to keep population at bay. If you are a Scythe you are loved by all hated by all and most of all; feared by all.

The story is about two characters: Citra and Rowan who just want to have a nice normal life. Everything changes when they are chosen to become Scythes Of their own. You may be thinking “why wouldn’t you want to be a Scythe you live forever and hold the fate of the future within your hands.” Unfortunately it is not that simple to become a Scythe you must leave your whole life behind (your family and friends) both after great thought accept and begin their scythehood. Once they begin they uncover the dark truth about many Scythes. Upon acquiring this new knowledge they know they must put a stop to it. This is one the best books I’ve ever read and would definitely recommend, but it can be slightly depressing at points.

Book-The Full Ride

Pages-103

Time-2 hours

The genre for the book,” The full ride,” is realistic fiction because it could happen. There were no Becca or Roger Jones according to me but there might be. Becca Jones, the main character in the story, was enjoying her life in Atlanta, Georgia. When all of a sudden, she has to move to protect herself and her mom because her dad went to prison, so everyone knows who they are,. They move to Ohio. Where, she has an Ok teenage life. In senior year, she had accidentally told someone about her dad going to prison. Will she and her mom survive? I am still reading the book. My favorite part is when she first came to the school in 8th grade and she was scared since someone asked her a question, so she went away, then another girl named Jala came and helped her. I think the theme for this book so far is, “ One little secret can ruin your life.” I chose this theme because is she tells about her dad’s secret, then she can actually get kicked out of school and not go to college.So far, I would rate this book a 4.3 out 5 because the plot is good so far, but some parts are boring.

Name Tags and Other Crimes Against Humanity
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Name Tags and Other Crimes Against Humanity is realistic fiction because the characters are in middle school and aren’t real people but could be.

Name Tags and Other Crimes Against Humanity is about Lizbeth, a annoying 12 year old, moving to a new town and school because her parents divorced. Lizbeth wanted to be popular in her new school and have her family be normal again. But Lizbeth’s seat was with the “weird kids” that made her instantly become named as a “weird kid”. With Lizbeth’s dad already having a girlfriend, Lizbeth seemed to be having nothing that she wanted. Until Lizbeth got the courage to sit at the popular girls table at lunch. At first the girls didn’t want to hangout with her but soon the popular girls realized they needed Lizbeth to do there school work. Lizbeth thought she was in the popular group, until Stacey (one of the popular kids) posted a embarrassing video of Lizbeth dancing. On the bright side Lizbeth’s dad didn’t have a girlfriend and the dad started coming over for dinner more often. Finally Lizbeth realizes she is a weird kid and goes into the talent show with the weird kids creating self portraits that makes everyone in the crowd donate to the art club that she started. Also she realizes it doesn’t matter if your family is all in one house it just matters that you love each other.

The theme is you have accept being different because only then will you truly be yourself. This is the theme because Lizbeth was afraid of being a weird kid even though she felt more comfortable with them than with the popular kids. Also Lizbeth wouldn’t tell people that her parents were divorced because than she would be different even though a lot of kids have divorced parents.

My favorite part was when Lizbeth didn’t care that the video of her danceing completely embarrassing because she knew her real friends would stay with her. This was my favorite part because this was when Lizbeth became easy to like and you see that Lizbeth can be strong and independent.

Historical Fiction- The Enemy by Sara Holbrook is Historical Fiction because there is a lot of talk about 🤬's and Communists in the book. More specifically, the hatred between the Americans and the outsiders from pretty much any where else. Also, the book talks about the First Detroit Auto Show after WW2, which was an actual event. Lastly, there was a part of the book where there was a bomb drill in the school, which was something that schools and work offices had to worry about.

Marjorie Campbell, the daughter of a WW2 solider and a stay-at-home mom. Her father suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), so he isn't always the most pleasant person to be around. On the other hand, her mother is off stealing books from the library anonymously to protest against the hatred of communists. Marjorie to be friends with a girl named Inga, who is a DP (displaced person) from Germany. Marjorie met Inga on the first day that Inga attended her school because they shared a desk. Although Inga doesn't know much English, she is fluent is French and German, so she is very smart. Inga is a really nice person and she really likes Marjorie's personality so she wants to be friends with her. Marjorie' she other friends did not accept Inga because she is fromGermany and they don't want to be around a "🤬". Out of all of Marjorie's friends, Bernadette is the most against Inga. She dislikes her so much that she creates a smash book about Inga. A smash book is a book where all of the girls in her class write mean things and rude questions about Inga. Marjorie doesn't like the way Bernadette is treating Inga. When she finally gains possession of the smash book, she realizes that she needed to do something about it and put an end to the madness. Marjorie decides to burn the smash book so that it will never be accessible again. Bernadette becomes extremely upset s for it seems like she's never going to forgive Marjorie for doing something that damaged her popularity and social life. Then, Marjorie admits to Inga that she hasn't been the most trustworthy and fateful friend, but Inga forgives her anyways.

Learning to accept others differences will help you become a better friend . I think this is the theme because she Marjorie accepts that Inga is indeed from a Germany, their friendships thrives and becomes even stronger than before.

My favorite part of The Enemy is when Marjorie shows Jon to Bernadett's house and tells her how she burned the smash book. This is because Bernadette realizes that being mean to people has it's consequences. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because it has a lot of suspense and it really interested me as a reader.

Book - Perception
Total Pages - 12-261
Total Minutes - 2 hrs 25 mins
Genre - Romantic Mystery
I think the genre of the book 'Perception' is romantic mystery because the protagonist, Clare, is torn apart two boys who love her and she loves back. Also, while the whole love drama is going on their is a 🤬 mystery case going on and Clare thinks that she is being stalked.

Summary - Clare, a 17-year old girl, is torn apart two boys who she has a history of love with. The homecoming dance is coming up and she has to chose one of them to be her date. Like normal, life goes on and things happen at home too, in this case Clare is dealing with her brother acting anything but normal and her mom who can read minds trying to see what Clare is always thinking, but, when mysterious things start happening to Clare and her town, she's is not the only one to notice. So, with the help of a cute guy named Gabriel she tries to find the man who murdered Sierra Waldman and the man who appears to be stalking her. Then, as the story comes to a close, Clare puts an end to the stalker, and finally picks her man.
Theme - "When two people choose you, you should choose the one who never had a chance." I think this is a good theme for my book because, one of the men she had to choose, had cheated on her with her enemy, Tiffany. On the other hand, there was a nice new guy who had never really got to know anyone that well except for her, Clare.
Rating - 5/5 - I'd rate this book a 5/5 because it is fast paced, has good language, automatically hooks the reader and keeps them hooked until the end.
Favorite Part - My favorite part in e book was when Gabriel pulled. Large out of an embarrassing situation and told her the truth about... something, and the. They KISSED!!!!!!!

Genre of book: This book is historical fiction because it is set in the 1950s, the time of segregation, and two girls are trying to be friends, but are pulled apart because of their skin color.
Summary: Marlee, a white girl, and Liz, a colored girl want to be friends, but with segregation going on, they got pulled apart because both of their families are in danger. So they do everything that they can to stay friends, even when they almost die, when they know that it may never work. Then, the schools are finally integrated, but Marlee and Liz still cannot be friends. They can still sometimes talk to each other on the phone, but that is all that they get to see of each other.
Theme: The friendship that you make, will stay in the heart forever. I think that this is the theme because when Marlee and Liz became friends, they stay together. They try to help stop segregation so that they can be with each other.
Favorite part: My favorite part of the book, The Lions Of Little Rock, is when JT finally asks Marlee out to the movies, and she says no. I like this part because Marlee used to like JT, but she doesn't anymore because he was cruel and selfish. He made her do his homework over and over again. And he had the nerve to ask her on a date after she practically handed over his math education without him doing anything or earning it in anyway.
Rating: I rate The Lions Of Little Rock a 3.786 because it was a good book, but it just didn't have that spark that a book should have. It needed something a little extra, like someone saying a really bad joke in the middle of class, or a really, really depressing part, something to give that book a spark.

I'd rate this book a 5 out of 5 because it is fast paced, has a spectacular vocabulary, hooks the ready from the start and keeps them hooked until the end!
Genre - Romantic Mystery
I'd say the genre of the book 'Perception' is romantic mystery because there is a crazy murderer in Clare's town, while there are also two men, not including eh stalker, who are in love with her.
Summary -
Clare, a 17-year old girl, lives in Eastport, Massachusetts. It's almost time for the homecoming dance, it's girl choice, but when two boys are in love with you and you return the love to them... both, it is hard. Not to mention that it gets worse when Clare finds out there has been a 🤬 in town and someone is stalking her. So now the day of the homecoming dance comes and Clare, along with Tiffany, is kidnapped. Then, once the stalker stopped, Clare finally choses her man.
Theme - "When choosing between two things, choose the one one that never got a chance." I think this is the theme because once of the men who loved her she already gave him a chance and he blew it, the other seemed nice and was new, so she liked him for that.
Favorite Part - My favorite part in the book was when Gabriel saved Clare from being embarrassed and took her to the beach. After they expressed their true feelings for each other they KISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently I'm reading a book that will hopefully help my parenting skills. It's called Untanged by Lisa Damour. It's geared to parents of young girls and the concepts in the book are designed to provide parents with skills that can allow them to better understand their teenage daughters. It covers common questions and scenarios that most young girls experience. Ms Darmour's research is based on her job as the director of the Laurel School's Center for Research on Girls. Ms. Darmour gives tips for parents so they can effectively communicate and understand their daughters during the transition to teenagers and beyond. It covers topics like friendships, technology use and healthly habits. This book is interesting to me because I have 3 daughters. I also think some concepts can be applied to young boys.

I have just started the book so I can’t really summarize it yet but so far this is what happened: Doug Swieteck and his family have moved to a new town called Marysville. Doug did not want to move because he was annoyed that because his father can’t keep a job, that they had to move, but he could not make the decision of moving. So his whole family moved, then, met a girl named Lil and got a job. Doug one time walked into the town library and he saw something that mesmerized him, but you need to read the book to find out what he saw.
The theme of the book “Okay for Now” (so far) is: Being rude will never get the kindness and respect of someone as if you were being nice to them.
My favorite part of the book (so far) is when Doug just enters the library and sees what is inside.
I rate this book 4 stars because the author used great descriptions, and great wording, and makes you go through the emotions that Dough is going through, but sometimes it can be unclear for me but as I read further, it gets clearer.

I read 200 pages this week. I read for 2 hours in total this week. The book genera is fantasy. In the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire harry has to talk place not the triwizard compition. He was not supposed to get admitted and he did not know how did it. He has to compete against the other wizards for the cup. They have to take place in the tasks to win the cup though. The theme of the story is that when you are young you shave to try your best. I think the book is four stars since it has alot  of action and has a pretty thriller ending that I won't give away. My favorite part in the book was in the third task and he had to run in a maze to get to the cup. I liked this part since it had alot  of action and there was alot  of cool stuff in the book this brings me back to why I rated it four stars instead of five.

I just finished the book "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrick Backman. Ove is a wonderful character, who appears to be a grumpy aging man at first, but as you learn more about him you can't help but be drawn into his simple yet complex life story. His memories of his beloved wife show a tender inside of a man who seems gruff and uncaring from the outside. Ove's many interactions with his neighbors help to reveal a quirky man with a big heart.  Backman  did a great job developing his character and writing a very funny book that makes you think twice about first impresssions.

Title: Salt: A world history
Author: Mark Kurlansky
Until I started reading this book, I never really gave a thought to the fact that salt is a rock, and we humans eat it. In this book, the author captures the impact that this common cooking commodity has made on world history. Sometimes when I think about this book, it feels like a collection of facts. Some of the facts that the book presents, are how salt was served as currency, and how it got the ancient Chinese to innovate percussion drilling. The author has made this topic interesting to read by incorporating the history of human kind. I wouldn't consider this book to be a casual read. People who like history will definitely like this book!

I believe my book is Realistic History because it is based on a real life event that happened in the past, with accurate information, yet made up characters that never really lived.

My book was based from 1909-1911 it's about three girls who worked in the triangle shirtwaist factory and wanted a better life. Yetta, a Russian Jewish was tired of the horrible working conditions and contributed on the strike for better working conditions. Bella, an immigrant from Italy that knew no English, wanted to support her family even if she got as little as a dollar. Jane one girl who had it all on her lifetime but wanted to learn more about the lower class girls. For Yetta, all the retraining order, cold, and money was a big obstacle in her march to better working conditions. Bella learned that her family died the week she arrived in the US and was finding herself in a big financial problem. Jane found herself running away from home after she realized that his father earned money by working people in horrible conditions and didn't help Jane help poor girl get what they deserve. All of them, Yetta, Bella, Jane found themselves in the shirtwaist factory fire risking her lives and even dieing. I think the theme to the book is Friendship destroys all obstacles. I think it is because all Bella, Yetta, and Jane become good friends and are all battling poverty while also facing the whole world. My favorite part of the book was when Jane left her house after discovering the darkness of many companies. I loved this part of the book because it shows how life back then was more unbalanced and was a injustice. It also is because it shows the adrenaline in all of it. I give it a 4.5 because I didn't wanna ever drop the book, the plot was rich and interesting, and showed clearly how times where back then. Yet, it sometimes became a bit boring.

I read 215 pages this week in 2 hours. I think the genre of the book Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix is fiction, because the book talks about things like time travel, which cannot exist in real life.

The book is about Jonah, his sister Katherine, his friend Chip, and another character, Alex. They are sent back to the 1400s, where they find out Chip is King Edward V of England, and Alex is his younger brother. Their task is to fix and restore time after Chip and Alex were taken from their time and placed in the 21st century. However, fixing time isn’t as easy as they thought, since they keep bumping into people from the 1400s century and accidentally messing up time. They eventually manage to successfully fix time, and return to the 21st century.

I think the theme of the book is friendship keeps us together, because throughout the book the characters stay together and help each other instead of ditching each other to go follow their own ambitions or out of fear. They were also very determined to save each other.

My favorite part of the book was when Chip was whispering to King Richard because it was amusing to see how he dealt with him.

I would rate the book 4 out of 5 stars since it was a interesting book, but it was pretty predictable.

I have read from 260- the finish (317) pages this week, and I have read for one hour this week (not including the other books I am reading). The genre of my book "Refugee" is historical fiction because everything in this book has happened and is real, except that not every character is real, but are based on real people in the refugee world. This is my summery. Mahmoud wanted to be free and go to Europe to be free, (or the European Union) but they can't get there without being spotted because of bombers, nazis, and other people in borders that don't want Muslims. So they don't ask anyone for help except if hey need a taxi or bus and use google maps to find the quickest way to get to the EU. Then they eventually get to the EU and are living a happy life with their family. I think the theme is that war is a tragic time, but love, perseverance, and bravery can overcome it, I think this because almost all the characters are moving because of war and they all do the things I've listed one way or another. My favorite part was when Mahmoud went into a house and the mother was blank's sister and she told the that blank saved her life and risked it for hers. I rate this book a 5 on a scale of 1-5 because it felt like you actually were there in the time period with other people, and it just felt very in the moment.

A Brief History of Time by British physicist Stephen Hawking. When/Where was time started? When/Where is its end? From the Big Bang to Black Holes, it is a popular-science book on cosmology (the study of the universe). Hawking wrote the book for nonspecialist readers with no prior knowledge of scientific theories. It is a fun to read it although some part of the book is really hard to understand -:)

I have read a total of 127 pages in the 2 hours that I read and I’m halfway through my book. My book is Gathering Blue the second book in The Giver Series. I think that the genre of the book is realistic fiction. I think this because in the book Kira lives in a tribe that is like a normal tribe and once her mother dies she is an orphan. This could happen but I have never heard of this tribe.

In the book Gathering Blue a fun, loyal, young adult named Kira goes through a horrible time when her mother dies from a sickness . Kira has a deformed leg that was twisted since her birth. In the tribe that she lives in if you have a disability you get fear to wild animals. Luckily her mom refused to let her die only because she knew that Kira would be talented. Her mom was right Kira turns out to be the best sewer in the tribe. Her dad has already been dead for a long time but Kira's mom is the only relative to Kira. When Kira's mom dies the women in the village want to feed Kira to the wild animals, but Kira goes to court and wins. But she has nowhere to live because when someone gets sick they have to burn down the house to prevent it from spreading. The court gives Kira a room to mend a ancient robe that tells the past of the world, but to mend the robe she has to learn the area of dyeing.

The theme of Gathering Blue is, with or without disabilities you can always find something to fill your life purpose.

My favorite part is on the first page when Kira's mom dies. This is my favorite part because the author puts so much emotion In to it that you are pulled in at the very first sentence.

I would rate this book a 4 because most of the time you are pulled in and not wanting to leave the book, but then others you want the book to go faster.

I read for a total of 3 hours this whole week and have finished the book House Of Robots. House Of Robots is a nonfiction book because it can't happen in real life. This book is about 2 young boys named Samuel, and Trip, and a robot named E, and E was created by Samuel's mother. Actually the robot is basically Samuel's sister named Maddie.

After that E had some jealousy problem because he was jealous of SS-10K and people were saying that SS-10K was better than E, which made him do bad things like destroying cars in parking lots. But eventually E came back as a good robot for Samuel's sister Maddie. After that, at the end of the story SS-10K wanted to fight E because he still thought E was bad. So Samuel Trip, and Samuel's mother worked together as a team and, developed E so hard that E could beat SS-10K, and eventually E won.

I read for a total of 3 hours this whole week and have finished the book House Of Robots. House Of Robots is a nonfiction book because it can't happen in real life. This book is about 2 young boys named Samuel, and Trip, and a robot named E, and E was created by Samuel's mother. Actually the robot is basically Samuel's sister named Maddie. The only reason why E was created because so Maddie can go to school, because she has some allergic issue. In the middle of the story another robot was created whichever was named SS-10K. After that E had some jealousy problem because he was jealous of SS-10K and people were saying that SS-10K was better than E, which made him do bad things like destroying cars in parking lots.

Theme: the theme to this story is "Never Give Up"
Why I think this is that Samuel always thought that SS-10K can easily beat E but Samuel tried and "never gave up" and he eventually beat SS-10K

Book: Wildwood by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis.
Time read: 3:00:00
Pages read: 42 — 223
Genre: The genre of this book is fantasy because a lot of things in this book don't happen in real life like talking animals wearing clothing.
Summary: In the story “Wildwood” by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis, the main character Prue has a pretty normal life. But when her baby brother Mac gets abducted by a wild, angry 🤬 of crows, she has no choice but to go after him and travel into the Impassable Wilderness. A friendly classmate named Curtis finds her and insists that he go help her find him, but along the way, they are unfortunately separated and they both encounter some challenging obstacles. Prue finds out that she is in grave danger and that her presence in the Woods is problematic. Curtis is kidnapped by a bunch of talking coyotes and taken to the Dowager Governess who wants him to join her and rule with her. But to do that, Prue’s baby brother Mac will have to be sacrificed and killed.
Theme: Mental power always overtakes physical power. I chose this theme because the characters have to be smart and know how to outwit their enemies if they want to survive.
Favorite part: My favorite part so far was the part when the Dowager Governess, Curtis, and all of the coyote soldiers went into war with the bandits and Curtis won the war with his smart thinking. I liked this part because there was a lot of action and description that's was fun to read.
Rating (out of five stars): I rate this book so far a four and a half out of five stars. I really like this book because the author uses great description and stretches important parts out which makes the story interesting.

The book I am reading is “The Last Monster” and the genre of this book is fantasy because it contains monsters, and monsters are not scientifically proven to be real.

In “The Last Monster” Sofia, a disabled protagonist in the story wants to protect monsters that are being hunted by a bigger monster she created unintetionally. The problem is, saving and protecting monsters is having a huge affect on her normal life. As gaurdian of the monsters, she feels it is her duty to protect them fro m being killed, and is trying to defeat the terrible monster she created. I do know what happens at the end yet.
The theme fo this book is you should accept others for who they are because Sofia learns that monsters are just like humans and have feelings too, and she learns to treat them well.
My favorite part so far is when the Golem, a monster, first came into her room because I thought it was interesting how Sofia got over the fear of seeing a monster so fast.
I rate my book 4 out of 5 stars because of the creativity of the details within the book, and the overall plot. I also rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars because it is written as if people are actually living with monsters, but we do not know it, and I thought that was a creative idea. I subtracted one star because the story is so far a little depressing, but overall I recommend this book.

I have read for a total of 8 hours and have read 970 pages. I have finished the books Esperanza Rising and Echo

Genre:

“Esperanza Rising” is historical fiction because the characters move around in a world shaped around true historical events: the Mexican Revolution, the Great Depression, and during the migration of Mexican workers to the U.S. in search of work during the 1930’s.

Summary:

The book “Esperanza Rising” is about a young girl named Esperanza who basically leads a leads a fairytale life. Her father is a wealthy landowner in Aguascalientes, Mexico and Esperanza is his only spoiled child. She has porcelain dolls, silk dresses, and all the papaya salad she could ever eat. All she wanted was to live like that forever. But things suddenly take a turn for the worse. It is 1930 and even though the Mexican revolution is over, many people still resent the wealthy landowners (which includes Esperanza’s father.) Bandits capture and 🤬 Esperanza’s father while he was out working on the ranch. Soon things get even worse when Papa’s evil brother takes over Papa's land. When Esperanza’s mother refuses to sell him the house, he burns it down. Now while homeless and penniless, Mama is left with a dilemma; marry the villain to get her fortune back but be separated from Esperanza forever, or flee the country with her. So Mama and Esperanza tag along with their former servants: Alfonso, Hortensia, and Miguel to the U.S. When they arrived, they joined Alfonso’s brother and his family on a company farm in the San Joaquin Valley in California. However, Esperanza’s grandmother had to stay behind because of her health. The new life was entirely different from the one Esperanza was accustomed to. Living conditions are shabby and crowded, and Esperanza has to work for the first time in her entire life. When Mama gets sick, Esperanza realizes that it is up to her to take care of the family, and becomes determined to work. She knows that Mama will get better if she can bring Abuelita to the U.S., but in order to do that she would need something she doesn’t have-money. So at only 13 years old, Esperanza starts working in the farm sheds, packing produce for minuscule wages. Eventually Esperanza finally earns all the money she needs, and by the time Mama gets out of the hospital, Esperanza thinks she has enough money for Abuelita’s journey. However, when she is about to show Mama how much money she had made she finds out that it was gone. Miguel had stolen the money to go look for work on a railroad up North. Esperanza falls into despair, but soon enough, Miguel shows up again with the person Mama needed most. Then by the time her 14th birthday comes around, Esperanza has new dreams that she could never have imagined a year ago. Esperanza is far from her fairytale beginnings but with her family she is happy and that is what counts.

Theme:

You’re not rich until you have something that money can’t buy

I chose this theme because at the beginning of the book Esperanza had a lot of money yet she wasn’t rich. She was a spoiled, pompous girl whose world revolves around money. However, by the end of the book Esperanza barely had enough money to go by. However, she was rich because she had the things that mattered most in life: a home, a family, and most of all,she was happy-as bad as the world was around her.

Favorite Part:

My favorite part was when Abuelita was reunited with her daughter. The author did an excellent job of slowing down, and somehow described how happy the family was without words just with them looking into each other’s eyes. The author also did a really good job with the detail, I felt like I was there right then in that spot. But the best part was how the author made the part so heartwarming, I almost cried tears of joy.

Rating:

I would rate this book a four out of five because it was a very well written book, it is very heartwarming and could make you laugh, cry, and get mad on a single page. The author really slows down the important parts and is really good at explaining her feelings. She also does a great job at describing certain things like the look on her mother's face or how she felt lost when she came to the U.S. However, the author doesn’t really explain many parts like when her heart must have been pulled out: when she saw her mother in the hospital or how difficult working at the farm was. So that is why I give it a 4/5

In Call me Hope by Gretchen Olson Hope, a determined hopeful protagonist, has a verbally abusive mother. Hope want to be loved by her mother. Hope also wants to belong and know that her mother will keep her safe. Hope's mother is usually livid with her and is rarely proud nor loving towards her. So Hope came up with a point system to keep her out of trouble. Finally, because of Hope’s point system, her mother is compassionate about Hope more often.

I think the theme of the book is when love lacks in a relationship one must fight through with hope. This us the theme because Hope fights through her mother's painful words and always looks on the bright side. This is also the theme because, Hope’s mother doesn't love her as much as she should.

My favorite part of this book is on Hopes birthday. It's my favorite part because hope spends time enjoying herself. It's also my favorite because Hopes tells Ruthie and Anita that her mother doesn't care about her.

This book is a 4 out of 5 because this book is confusing at times and feels like the author forgot to add a part, but overall the plot is awesome.

The librarian sees him and the. They make it a weekly routine for Doug to come by the library every Saturday and draw some of the birds. Lil comes by with Doug too.

Today I started reading "Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance," by Ruth Emmie Lang, and I'm on page 32. This book is in the fantasy genre—which, along with science fiction, is my favorite. The book is about an orphaned boy named Weylyn Grey, who was raised by wolves and has some very unique abilities, like controlling weather and communicating with animals. The story is told from the perspectives of the various people whose lives intersect with Weylyn's, as he grows up and goes on adventures and seeks his true love. The beginning of the book really captured my interest, because one of the first people we hear from is a young boy who literally stumbles into the "haunted" house that Weylyn lives in, where Weylyn has convinced spiders to weave webs to patch the holes in the roof. The daredevil boy falls through the roof and is caught by a giant spider web! Weylyn frees him and the boy leaves with a fantastic story to tell. I'm really looking forward to reading about the further adventures of Weylyn and the people in his life.

I read 150 pages in 2 hours this week. The genre of this book is historic fiction because it takes place in WWII and shows the struggles of the that time period.

Summary

In the beginning, the protagonist Yoko, her mother, and sister Ko, are in North Korea during WWII. They were told by a friend that they need to go to Japan. Yoko's brother Hideyo is working elsewhere and her father is too. Hideyo decides to quit his job working in an munitions factory to flee with Yoko, her mother, and her sister. They find their way on to a hospital train headed towards Seoul where they plan to find a passage on a ship to Japan. They are bombed 45 miles away from their point of destination and they have to walk the rest of the way. They are stopped by some soldiers but a few planes fly over and drop bombs, getting rid of the soldiers. However It leaves Yoko with an injured chest. When they arrive at Japan, they had lost the war and they are once again struggling to survive.

Theme:Family can exist no matter how much struggle.

I think this because even though they have a tough time surviving, they still manage to love each other.

My favorite part was when Hideyo met up with Yoko, her mother, and Ko because it shows that no matter the situation family will always exist.

I rate this book a three stars because it was interesting but I was not always wanting more.

I have read for 2 hours, a total of 105 pages. The genre of my book is realistic fiction. For the summary, April and Melanie two sixth grade girls who live in Pasadena, California. They play a game where they pretend to be Egyptian but they wanted to change the game so they could be gypsies. But Toby their close friend ran away to keep from potentially be kidnapped or killed. So that means April and Melanie had to change their gypsies camp in to a hideout for Toby. Then Toby’s hideout is discovered but he made a quick escape from these unknown men. Toby is in big trouble will he survive or get caught. I think the theme of my book is friendship can solve any problem no matter how bad it is. That is my theme because in the story all of them are really close friends but when Toby ran away they have to keep lots of secrets but they always stay friends. My favorite part of the was when Toby ran away, because I didn't really like Toby he was very obnoxious, and the book was very boring until he ran away. I would rate my book a 4 out of 5 because it has very good suspense and it is a mystery which I really like.

I am currently reading the book "Dark Horses," by Cecily Von Ziegesar. "Dark Horses" is about a young girl named Merritt, and a horse named Red. Each chapter switches perspective of the two protagonists. In the story, Merritt becomes depressed, because of her grandmother's death. Her parents send her to an equine-based therapy program called "Good Fences." Red was a racing horse so he never truly belonged to anyone. After a bad accident on the track. He is sent to "Good Fences" too. Once the two meet, there is an immediate connection. From there, they continue their hard journey through life together.
Favorite Part:
I am close to finishing the story, but so far I would have to say my favorite part is when Merritt first rode Red. This is my favorite part, because it is heart-warming since Red finally feels like he truly belongs to someone, and Merritt finally being happy after her grandmother's death.
So far, I would rate this book a
4 1/2 out of 5. I chose this, because I love this book so far, but I am not done yet so I don't want to go straight to a 5 star rating.

This week I read and finished the book: The Lions Of Little Rock. I would rate this book 4.9 stars because it was a great book and I couldn't stop reading. I read from page 186- to the end.

The Lions of Little Rock is about a girl name Marlee who is growing up in the late 1950s of Little Rock, Arkansas. At this time segregation is a problem and and a bunch of colored students have been accepted into a all white school. Marlee's parents do not like colored people and Marlee's older sister, Judy can't go to school because high school shut down because of the colored people. There is a pretty new girl at her “all white school” name Liz. Everyone wants to be her friend. “She had straight white teeth, and a beautiful golden tan. She turns out to be really nice and a good friend. They become close. One day the teacher tells the class that Liz won't be attending school there anymore because she “is suddenly sick”. Marlee's bossy friend, Sally tells everyone that the day before she saw Liz walking out of church in the colored part of town. She was holding hands with a colored boy, her brother. Marlee finds out that Liz was “passing” or pretending to be white. She has a lighter skin than most colored people so her parents pretended she was white and the sent her to a all white school for a better education. When her classmates find out, they call her racial slurs and call her other names.

Marlee doesn't care that Liz was black she just wants to be her friend. She will risk anything to have Liz back for a friend. Her mother doesn't like colored people but her dad doesn't have a problem.

The Lions of Little Rock is the best book ever! The genre is Historical Fiction. I would definitely recommend this book.

This week, I read 305 pages in 5 ⅓ hours. I read the book The Hobbit.

This book is fantasy because it features mythical creatures such as goblins, elves, dwarves, and dragons.

Summary

Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, (a jaunty and fat mythical creature that looks like a little human) has enjoyed quite comfort for his whole life. But one day, the wizard Gandalf dragged Bilbo into a quest with 13 homeless dwarves, pursuing an immense treasure guarded by the powerful dragon Smaug. The treasure belonged to the father of Thorin, the leader of the dwarves. This perilous quest can lead to great fortune, or irrevocable death, for Bilbo was a wet blanket.

Along the way, Bilbo encountered a slimy creature named Gollum, who guarded a mysterious ring that enabled whoever was in possession of the ring to make oneself invisible.

Just when the quest seemed to be going all fine, the dwarves mistook Bilbo as brave and courageous, and left him alone to face Smaug. The mysterious ring aided Bilbo in sneaking into Smaug’s lair, a mountain entitled the “Mountain”.

While in the Mountain, Bilbo angered Smaug, who soon decided to harm the people of Lake-town, a town near the Mountain inhabited by humans. Consequently, Smaug was killed by one of the people of Lake-town.

But when the news about Smaug’s death spreads, everyone wants the treasure. So a battle for the treasure- called The Battle of Five Armies- commences. It was the dwarves, men, and elves fighting against the Goblins and Wargs.

Thanks to his ring, Bilbo survived the war until its end. He returned home safely, and was able to go back to his quite, comfortable, and of course, enjoyable life, just the way he liked it from the beginning.

I think the theme of The Hobbit is The journey is greater than the destination. I think that’s the theme because Bilbo didn’t really get anything from the treasure; he was already rich. But from the journey, he made new friends, he became braver, and he learned about the thrills of danger.

My favorite part was when a game of riddles began between Gollum and Bilbo. I’ve always loved the thrill of attempting to figure out tricky riddles. Also, it was very suspenseful. Every time Gollum said a riddle, I was sitting on the edge of my chair, thinking Does Bilbo make it through without getting eaten? I want to know SO BAD!!!!!!!!! When Gollum asked the riddle about time, I had just about given up on Bilbo. I almost felt like crying. Lastly, I like how the author shows what both Bilbo and Gollum are thinking once they hear the riddles.

I would rate The Hobbit 3 ½ out of 5. The author does a good job of making the reader want to read on and creating a great story, but the book is kind of dull. There is almost no emotion after the first few chapters, thus making hard to interpret what Bilbo was feeling when he went into Smaug’s lair. All in all, this is a great book, but is easy to misinterpret.

I recently read the book, "The Woman in Cabin 10." It is a mystery novel by Ruth Ware. It is about a journalist who goes on an adventure cruise, and ends up trying to solve the mystery of a woman who goes missing.

I didn't really have a favorite part in the book.

I read "Prisoner B-3087" for 3 and a half hours, and a total of 260 pages. The genre of the book is historical fiction because, though it's based on a true some parts are fiction. The book is about a boy named Yankees who, over six years during World War II,s survived ten different concentration camps, all of which had different challenges, such as, the kapos, malnutrition, and insane nazis running them. My favorite part was when Yanek went back to Krakòw and found his family's secret cache. The theme of my book is, even death can't catch everyone because throughout the book, Yanek stares death in the eye on several occasions, and still manages to survive every single time. In summary, I would rate this book five stars because of how well written the book itself is, and how amazing the story it's based on is, even if it is horrifically gruesome.
