To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee was a great book. I really liked how it was in the time period of the 1930s and the racially divided south they lived in. I liked how the author didn't set back on the racism of the white and black people. The book was about a girl named Scout and her family. It was her life in the 1930s. I liked the ending how the mysterious Boo Radley came out and saved Scout and Jem. This was a great book and I recommend it to anyone.

The Perilous Journey of the Donner Party was a good book because it described the life as an American Pioneer party that is very famous. The Donner Party that is most famous to be called cannibals. They had to result to this because of mistakes made by party leaders. They decided to go down through Hastings Cutoff which was said that cut off 100 miles of the trip but instead added 400 miles. When the Donner Party went through and soon discovered they were trapped in the Sierra. With their luck that winter was the worst winter ever recorded in history. I liked the book because it was very exhilarating to imagine what they would think when being stuck and eating actual people. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes violent actions and history.

After reading The Da Vinci Code I thought it was the best mystery book I ever read. It is one of my favorite books now because it takes place outside of the U.S. and in what I have seen there is no other book like this one. But what this book starts with an albino named Silas, who wears a cilice, goes into the Louvre and murderers Louvre Curator Jacques Saunière hoping to find something called the "keystone". At this point early in the story, the reader is still wondering what this is. In the crime scene, DCPJ Captain Bezu Fache investigates. In Jacques' final messages it shows cryptologic phrases and a postscript to find Robert Langdon. Fache thinks Langdon is the murderer but really he is a Harvard Historian who was supposed to have a meeting with Saunier later in the day. Soon after a cryptologist agent Sophie Neveu comes to crime scene alone with no other agents and alerts Fache. Langdon finds out Neveu is Jacques granddaughter and they discover her grandpa could have been part of a secret society known as the Priory of Sion with members like Leonardo Da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton. This book is hard to explain from a reader but I guarantee you will love this book.

This book was about a man named Rob Dowding growing up in a small town called Seward, Nebraska. He was born in 1918 and grew up during the depression. The book talked from everything in his childhood and after World War II. After High School he enlisted into the Army and became a clerk because of his skill to type from a typing class in High School. When he joined the 5th Air base group they then traveled on a secret mission called PLUM which made them go to the Philippines. Later after they set up their base they got attacked by the Japanese killing two. Around a year or so later they surrendered to the Japanese becoming prisoners of war. Rob was a prisoner for 3 and a half years. He was released right after the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was dropped. He learned that 185 people went on the mission with him and around 45 came out. This book is good for people who like war stories and survival stories.

This book was about a group of friends who went on a trip up a mountain in Australia. They were up in the mountain called Hell for about a week. During their trip, they heard and saw a bunch of planes fly over them. On the way back to their homes, they arrive at the main character Ellie's house. When she looks inside her parents aren't there and all of their dogs are dead except for one who is about to die. Then they discover everybody is gone and some kind of enemy forces took over. After that they basically are straggled out in the outskirts trying to get information. This is only the first book of the book series. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes survival stories.

The Darkest Path was about where there were two different governments/armies. The US Federal Army and the Glorious Path Army. A kid named Callum Roe was given the choice to join the path six years ago from being taken from his parents. He goes on multiple tasks to find his parents with help from all sorts of people who die for him. He tries to escape the path with a dog he found named Bear and tries to get to New York. I got this book because it was recommended by Mrs. Prettol for best dystopian books.

I read The Wreckers because for a trimester book project we do every trimester in social studies. The book is about people known as "wreckers" who make money off of loot of nearby shipwrecks on their island. A young sailor on his first voyage ends up being guided by fake beacons onto shore where the ship goes under and he is the only one who survived or so he thinks. He then tries to hide in the village and meets a crippled man named Stumps with no legs who has his father captive. Now he has to escape the island but also try and get his father back.

Since I read Eagle Strike and Scorpia which are books later in the series I wanted to start from the beginning. Stormbreaker is the very first book of the Alex Rider book series. The book started with Alex hearing his uncle died in a "car crash" and going to his funeral with him realizing the people there were people he have never seen before and one had a gun. He then investigates and goes to a car junk yard and sees his uncles BMW and he also notices bullet holes. What Alex does know is that his uncle worked for a bank, or did he. He finds out he worked for MI6 and got killed while investigating a suspicious threat. Alex then gets picked up and goes to the "bank" to collect his uncle's will. This is a very good book and I recommend it to anyone who likes spy/action books.

I liked the idea of books about the military and "war" stories and that is why I picked up Battle Fatigue. I liked his childhood part of the book but when he dodged the war draft which meant he didn't join the military it got a bit boring and uneventful. The book shows Joel Bloom growing up in Haley, Massachusetts and when he has to enter the draft he says that the war is immoral and he doesn't want to fight in it. Overall I would give it a 7/10.

I wanted to read The Making of a Navy SEAL because I wanted to know what it is like in the Navy/Military and saw it is very interesting. The book is a narrative about the author's childhood, enlistment, and instructing. He has a very good story about how he never gives up in his training to be a SEAL. He trains 4 long years just to be able to do the training FOR a Navy SEAL. He said he was always "that guy" and always got yelled at for the first phase of training. But he never gives up and told his instructor "that the only way your getting me out of here is in a body bag". He then went on to advanced training and went to the hard prestigious Sniper School. He passed both and fought against Taliban and Al Quaeda. After he then taught the Sniper School and spent countless after hours with this one student a 6 foot tall Texan named Marcus Luttrel had a crack of a shot but could not stalk and be concealed. He failed the first time and on his second try of Sniper School he passed. He went straight to Afghanistan and when he was there his whole team got ambushed and everyone died except for Marcus Luttrel. He crawled all concealed for 7 miles for five days not seen by enemy forces. He was so thankful of the Author Brandon Webb for spending so much hours with him on how to be concealed because it ended up saving his life.

This is the book right after Eagle Strike and I ended up reading it in one day. The book was about a 14 year old boy in the MI6 acting as a spy. His parents were both killed when he was very young and he wants to find the truth about his fathers death. Which apparently he was a contract killer for a criminal organization called Scorpia. Or so he thinks, he goes on all sorts of missions each finding more and more about his father. Then he gets the truth.

In the start of the school year I had to pick out a book for production. I saw the Alex Rider book and picked it up and started reading it. I was instantly hooked and wanted to read more. The book is a series and it is the series that really doesn't require to start from the beginning. But I will start from the first book and read through the 11 book series.

I loved the first Mr Lemoncello's Library book and I saw that he wrote a sequel to it I thought to myself I have to read this. I read it and it was good but I thought the first book was better. What it is about is that other kids around the world think they could solve the puzzle better than the kids who solved it last year and it ends up being a pretty exciting story.

I wanted to read The Baseball Codes because I wanted to read books about baseball this summer. The book was pretty interesting it talked about the way brawls start and its not the typical way you think it is. It also talks about how to respect the game by your team and opponent team. I like the book because it tells you about the rules that are called the "Unwritten Rules of Baseball"

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to read Born To Play because it is an autobiography by one of my favorite players Dustin Pedroia. Also it is about baseball and it shows how tough it was when he was MLB material but he was short only 5' 9" right now but a couple inches shorter in high school and it was hard for him to get a scholarship to a good school. It is very inspiring about how he had to prove himself to everybody.

I found out about Woods Runner by Mrs. Z on her U.S. History recommended book list. I saw Woods Runner was written by Gary Paulsen and I love his books. I thought the increase of detail with the deaths were a bit much. But overall it was a great book about a family living in the Revolutionary War.
