The story of E.B. White https://padlet.com/kdraper4/nxryz8zckddi/wish/276730217 Have you ever wondered about who wrote those books that you read when you were younger? Well, chances are that one was Charlotte's Web. It was written by E.B. White, as well as Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan. He was criticized on Stuart Little. But what did the real experts, (the kids who read the book) think? Were they happy? Or did  the criticism take him over? Find out the answers and a lot more about him! Maybe you’ll find a trait you have in common, or a opinion you support. But there’s only one way to find out, and that’s by reading it!                                                                                     Felicity

I usually don’t care for biographies, but I would give this biography 4.5/5 stars. Will the young Olympian, Loui, survive a plane crash? If yes, how tough can it get?  will he overcome challenges and fears?  Or will he become a long-lost soldier of World War 2? Even after all of this trials and tribulations, will he give up his self-esteem or keep trying his best to fight through the war until its over.
