STOP! THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE! Okay, now that I have your attention and you know this is serious business, I just read a spectacular book that blew my mind! Interested now? I thought so! Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse is one of the most deep and thought out books I've ever read; very emotional. This book is not a regular for most people, it wasn't my first choice either. It's genre is historical fiction. Believe it or not my little brother recommended it to me and I'd have to give it five stars! I really enjoyed this book and can gladly see myself and other readers looking to read more books like it and/or by the same author. This book is based on a true story. Hesse writes Out of the Dust in first person, allowing Billie Jo Kelby, the protagonist, or main character, to describe her life from the winter of 1934 thought the fall of 1935. Billie Jo describes her desolate internal and external landscape with a searing, brutal honesty. She narrates, in unfolding glimpses of story, a tale of death, destruction, dust, and the search for redemption. This incredible book is very much related to Come on Rain, by Karen Hasse! Karen Hasse didn't actually write Out of the Dust until three years after her trip to Colorado, when she'd already started writing Come on Rain. I'd recommend this book to girls and boys, anyone interested in historic fiction! To conclude, if you haven't already done so, read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, you won't regret it!

One of my friends read this book and they told me to read and it was so good you should read.

We read this book in my reading class and i liked it so that I was by myself and it was amazing so you should this book.

From growing up in a run-down motel which she called home for years, to glamorous New York City, Misty Copeland made her mark, becoming the first female to be a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre (ABT). Most girls and boys who dream of becoming ballerina’s start at the ripe age of three or four. But not Misty. Instead, she started at age thirteen. Misty said later that, “I was a late bloomer, starting ballet when I was only thirteen.” Although it seemed too late to start, Misty, with determination and support from teachers, became a “prodigy”. But Misty didn’t stop there. By the age of nineteen, she joined the Corps De Ballet at ABT. Even then, Misty said that her “ultimate dream was to become a principal dancer” which would later come to fruition. But before she could fulfill her dream, Misty set out to work hard and make her mentors and family proud. Famous ballerinas, such as Raven Wilkinson, were pleased and amazed with Misty. Even with struggles and injuries, Misty pushed forward, determined to show aspiring ballerinas that it’s never too late to make a difference. Even with her hard upbringing, Misty made history when she became the first woman to be a principal dancer at ABT. Through Misty’s life we can see that support and passion are some of the best qualities you need to achieve your dreams. She shows that passion and support can get you far. With Misty’s influence, young boys and girls can be inspired to dream big and work hard for what they want. Misty’s life proved that it doesn't matter where you come from or what ethnicity you are, you can still achieve great things.

People often say: “You’re just a kid, you can’t do anything”. Well, some kids like Ruby Bridges, did do something! She faced crowds that said that black kids can’t go to white schools. But she went to the school anyway! Or Rosa Parks, who refused to move to a different seat so a white passenger could sit. This book tells the true childhood stories of kid activists. Such stories like Helen Keller, the blind and deaf girl who stood up for disabled people. Frederick Douglass taught escaped slaves; Harvey Milk thought everyone should be treated equal, Iqbal Masih fought to end child slavery, while being a slave himself. And Malala Yousafzai thought that everyone should have education. After all, in order to become an adult, you must be a kid. So ignore those people that say kids can’t do anything and go out there and do something! This book was seriously good, and I couldn’t put it down. I’m going to go see if my library has the rest of the series because it was so good.

I have never before read a David Baldacci novel. I know he's incredibly popular (that all his books are on the bestseller lists) but that's not enough reason for me to read a novel. That said, hearing the premise for his first venture into Young Adult fiction was enough reason for me to buy this book. This is a young adult fantasy novel set in one town in the middle of nowhere, a town surrounded by a wild land called the Quag, which it is forbidden to set foot into because of the creatures that live out there. The heroine of the story is Vega Jane and she's a boundary pushing individual who gradually comes to discover the secrets and abilities linked to her bloodline. The ideas of this book are excellent, I loved the grand world-building in every way. I also loved the protagonist, who was a realistic female character trying to make sense of her world. However, I felt there was room to play with some of the themes and ideas a little more. For instance this was another novel that talked about the fears of humans (though these individuals were Wugmorts and not necessarily human they acted as human) and the ways in which we allow walls to be built to protect us from the outside. Walls, which, in reality, keep us trapped inside. It's a theme which is particularly post-9/11 and from an era that includes the war on terror and the rise of social media, yet it is a universally applicable theme that could have been tapped into further. I also did not like the staccato nature of the writing in sections, which felt as if it 'told' the reader too much rather than 'suggested' or 'showed'. In other words, the writing was more or less predictable. All in all there is plenty of untapped potential in this novel and it feels as if there may be a sequel in the works. Though I have not heard anything about this as such. That said I would be interested to read the sequel. Can I recommend this novel then? Well as much as I recommend the average young adult novel: for enjoyment's sake rather than for a deep philosophical venture. If you want something deeper and more well-rounded there are other young adult novels I could point you to.

Joan Ruth Bader was born on March 15, 1933. Ruth’s parents, Nathan and Celia, taught their children about working hard. Mr. and Mrs. Bader instilled in their children a sense of pride for their freedom. After a tragic loss of their oldest child, Nathan and Celia pinned all their hopes on Ruth. Being a strong believer in women’s rights, Celia instilled in Ruth a value for education. Ruth invested in her studies and tried her hardest to be the best student. Even with the support, Ruth was carrying a large burden; her mother had cancer. Unfortunately, Celia died on Ruth’s graduation day. Although devastated, Ruth knew she needed to push forward. Attending Cornell, Ruth worked hard studying law. While there, Ruth met Marty Ginsburg. He prized her love for education and her willingness to work. Ruth said, “Marty was the first boy I ever knew who cared that I had a brain.”. With hard work, Ruth and Marty were accepted to Harvard. Before starting, they got married in 1954. Unfortunately, law school had to wait for the newlyweds. Having been sent into the military, Marty was transferred to Oklahoma. Ruth took on a job in the Social Security office. Unfortunately, Ruth had trouble fitting into her job. This did not improve when Ruth told her boss she was pregnant. Having her salary and rank lowered, Ruth was furious. About two years later, Marty and Ruth attended law school. Unfortunately, the couple was hit with another blow. They discovered that Marty had cancer. But with determination, Marty graduated law school. Because Ruth was younger than Marty and he was offered a job in New York City, Ruth was unable to finish her degree. But that did not stop Ruth from graduating from Columbia University. Unlike her initial dream, she landed a job as a clerk for a federal judge. Later, a door opened for Ruth to become a professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey. There, she was one of the first female law professors in America. Unfortunately her salary was lower than the men and the school could not give a clear answer why. Finally, there came a chance for Ruth to voice her opinions. In 1973, in the US Supreme Court, Ruth fought in front of justices on behalf of her client. She told the justices that now, women, along with men, were breadwinners. Ruth argued that there should be equal rights for women just like there was equal rights for men. Dazzling the courtroom with her “sheer force”, Ruth won the case! Ruth’s reputation went all the way to the oval office where newly elected Jimmy Carter appointed Ruth as a federal judge on a circuit court. Soon the Ginsburgs moved from New York City to Washington D.C. It was a change for Ruth but, with her fair personality, Ruth was the perfect fit. But she wanted more. An opening for a Supreme Court justice came when Bill Clinton became president. Hearing about Ruth and her impartial rulings, President Clinton knew she was the one for the job. In 1993, Ruth was sworn in as a Supreme Court justice. In 2013, Ruth was a justice for 20 years. Given the nickname “The Notorious RBG” , Ruth became known for her truth. In fact, her honesty was so famous that a popular saying about her was, “You can’t spell truth without Ruth”. Ruth was also known for being “tough as nails”. Ruth was charging the courtroom with her brute force. Even so, the legend went through a rough patch when Marty passed away. Even with this hurdle, Ruth pressed on. Unfortunately, the legend died from pancreatic cancer at age 87 on September 18, 2020. Even after her death, her legacy lives in the hearts of the people she helped and in minds of people who look up to her. Justice Ginsburg is known for being a headstrong heroine in the fight for human rights. To Ruth, all men and women truly are created equal. One of her most famous quotes was, “Fight for the things you believe in but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.” She definitely lived that.

It is a good book. Jack and Annie went on a trip to the moon and I wish I could go with them! And I wish I could go to the moon base with Jack and Annie. I would ask the author, who is the moon man? I would also like to know, where is Jack and Annie's parents. They weren't mentioned in this story. I loved Peanut the mouse aka Morgan, I thought she was so cute! This was the best book in the world! Book review by class 2-205
