I really like The 39 Clues, and when I found out that Linda Sue Park had another book, about Korea under Japanese rule (I'm from South Korea, not North, why does everyone ask that), I was so curious I had to read the book. When My Name Was Keoko is about the time Korea was under Japanese rule. It is written in two perspectives, Sun-hee and Tae-yul's. I loved how some of the characters (Sun-hee, Tae-yul, their parents, Mrs. Ahn (a neighbor), and Tomo) rebelled against Japan in quiet or energetic (if that makes sense) ways. This book beautifully portrayed how a family living in those times would act. I'm a sucker for historical fiction and teenage books, so When My Name Was Keoko was perfect! The ending wrapped the whole book wonderfully, with Sun-hee teaching Tae-yul the Korean alphabet. However, something that could have been better is the lack of background information. Someone unfamiliar with Korea's history might've initially felt confused or bored. I also worried that using Korean pronouns would perplex readers who do not know Korean. To summarize, When My Name Was Keoko is a great book about rebellion, family, and strength. Even though it may be confusing for people who didn't have a lot of Korean culture exposure, I recommend this book for 9 and up!

''Lida thought she was safe.''- This book is so emotional! The fact that the author had asked someone to tell them about their story, their story about getting captured by Hitler and basing it off of a book, is incredible. Lida has been captured by the Nazi and separated from her sister Larissa. Now she has been taken to a camp with other kids like her. When they get there, children under 12 are separated in one group, and over 12 in another. An older kid told her to lie to them about your age, say you're older. They say if you're older, you're useful. And how she knows this? This isn't the first time she was captured by the Nazi. But when Lida's friend gets an idea to sabotage the bombs they are assigned to make, it may work. They tell them they are watched all times. But they can carry dirt and dump it into the bombs. The idea actually works. Soon Lida and her friends who survived get rescued by the American army. But what about Larissa? Fortunately, Lida gets a letter from her sister saying she got rescued and is in Canada! This book was so detailed and I would definitely give it a 5/5 rating. I recommend this to people interested in the Nazi and Adolf Hitler.

In this book Julian’s grandma(Sara) is telling Julian a chapter of a dark moment in her life. It was pretty hard for her to tell Julian this story. She tells parts that she has told no one. Except Julian. R.J. Palacio did such a nice job on this book, but at some parts it has French so I couldn’t understand.This book is a roller coaster of emotions. I cried at some parts, but truly this book is so amazing. This book is for sure a number 1 book.

I got hacked or something and I have nobody I use to follow like I have nothing like Eagle fan was my friend and five others now I have to start over oh my god.

: Brine Seaborne is on a ship, sailing to a place over the hills and far away...Brine is eating octopus tentacles, which are quite chewy, but she wonders whether or not they are safe to eat... The ship's name is the Onion, a ship spoken of in legends. Locked in the brig is a bald magician named Marfak West, and he is very evil. There are also some weirdly named pirates, a mediocre pirate chef, and a strange magician apprentice, Peter. This quirky novel tells the tale of how Brine, former servant to the grouchy old magician so-and-so. Together with Peter, the magician's apprentice, she flees her home of the Minutes Islands and comes across the Onion. Convinced that a pirate's life is not for them, the ship's captain Cassie O'Pia decides to sell them as servants at Morning Island; alas, her plan is interrupted when that evil bald magician suddenly appears and tells them of a mysterious place near the north pole called Magical North... There, they say, since all magic flows north, one may stand and see all. Ooooh. And there's treasure. This amazing book was full of great characters, a nicely imagined fantastical world, and the evil penguins were a nice touch. Or are they puffins? Also, the excerpts from the books of the Magical North world at the start of chapters added to the story. But I was perturbed when I realized that the cover is not accurate, since there isn't actually a giant octopus in the story. Also, how Marfak West doesn't tell lies is mentioned many times; around three people said that in the book, and there are around three similes about pulling down mountains. Aside from that, the writing style was better than average. Great author, very original story. I definitely recommend it for seekers of good Middle-Grade Fiction.

Another story featuring a girl, Felicity Merriman, a very spunky colonial girl who has lived during the American Revolutionary War against Great Britain. Her father`s apprentice, Ben, has broken the apprenticeship agreement due to Ben running away to join George Washington`s army to war. But Felicity also has to help Ben to do something that is very important to Ben, and that meant that Felicity has to have giant amount of courage, strength but also wisdom to help. Would definitely recommend this book. - Happy Reading!

Felicity Merriman, a spunky Colonial girl who lived in Virginia during the American Revolutionary War. Her parents, Mr. And Mrs. Merriman always telling Felicity specific things of what not to do, because well, she can be a troublemaker and I think she is also daredevil every time when she is left in charge of her younger sister, Nan. Her father's store apprentice, Ben, who Felicity looks up to, even though Ben doesn't even have a real power over the store. But one day, Felicity has heard that there is a horse, a copper mare, which was owned by a man named Jiggy Nye. But Mr. Nye has treated that mare very badly that this mare ended up feeling afraid of him until Felicity has rescued her who Felicity has named, Penny, because of her copper fur. It's so good that I would recommend this! - Happy Reading!

I haven't even finished it, and it's not that good. It's one of those books that teachers always make you read. It's really cheesy. I like the layout, though. How Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, and they each tell it a different way.

I love Little House In the Big Woods. I think it has more appeal to 3rd grade-7th grade. Laura lives with her Ma, Pa, and sisters, Mary, and Carrie, in the big woods of Wisconsin. Mary is a well behaved little girl, but Laura always finds herself getting into mischief, from slapping her sister, to tearing the seams on her pocket (on accident), she seems to get into trouble without even trying. She's jealous of Mary, with her long, golden locks, and the favor that she seemed to get from everyone. But, without showing it too much, she seems to be Pa's favorite. I liked how the book explained what they did, like when Pa was making the oven in the tree. My favorite part was during Christmas. I got the chance to actually try a maple cake, molded into the shape of a leaf, and it was very sweet!!! I love this book!
