Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story) Book Review: The book “Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story)” by Daniel Nayeli is a realistic fiction book following the story of Khosrou (Daniel) and his experiences in his life as a refugee from Iran. The story follows Daniel and his family as they seek refuge in Oklahoma amidst war in Iran and it divulges into aspects of life such as religion, family issues, not fitting in with society, and foreign culture. “Every story is the sound of a storyteller begging to stay alive.” is a popular quote from the book said by the main character Khosrou which shows how serious life is for a child who is a refugee. In my opinion, this book is very inspiring and heartfelt as it follows a good role model for young children who might be facing the same hardships as Khosrou and it definitely deserves a read.

Alexander Graham Bell An Inventive Life, by Elizabeth Macleod, tells that a difficult childhood doesn’t mean an unsuccessful adulthood. Alexander Graham Bell had a bad childhood, with his two brothers being infected with TB, the eventual death of them, and Alexander Bell not being a good student. He was born in Great Britain in 1847, but after ten years, the family had to move to America. Alexander Graham Bell became a teacher and a professor. Later, he invented a lot of things, such as the levitated boat and the telephone. He also had trouble proving he had invented the phone, but in the end, it made him famous. He died in 1923 in Canada and is a great example of somebody having a successful life after a troubling childhood. I recommend this biography for boys and girls, grades third to fourth.
