Boy in the Striped Pajamas (Japanese Edition)

Boy in the Striped Pajamas (Japanese Edition)

By John Boyne

I read the English version of this! Anyway, Bruno is a boy who is the son of a Nazi. He and his family move to Oshwitz (I don't know it is spelled, sorry) Well, come to find out Oshwitz is a concentration camp that his father, the Nazi, works at. One day, Bruno sees a barbed wire fence. Like a normal boy, he decided to check it out. And what he found was a half-starved, Jewish boy. Bruno and the boy become friends. Though their friendship was tested many times, the two boys stook together no matter their different lifestyles. Then one day, Bruno's sister was inspecting her hair and found out that she had lice! And Bruno had lice too! Bruno's sister got shampoo to help her, but Bruno (poor Bruno) had to shave his head. And then the idea hit him. The Jewish boy had no hair either. And to be honest neither did any of the other people in the camp. So, Bruno decides to find out what life is beyond the barbed wire. He jumps the fence of the concentration camp and meets the Jewish boy again. All is going well, under the circumstances, until an ear-piercing noise starts. Confused, Bruno asks the Jewish boy what the sound is. Frightened, the Jewish boy answers that whenever the noise starts people form a line and follow a Nazi. There, they are led to a gas chamber, and they die. I know this is not happy, but it is historical accurate. Bruno and the Jewish boy get swept up into the crowd of people going into the gas chamber and Bruno, although he is not even supposed to be in the gas chamber, is gassed with all the other prisoners. Although this book is heart breaking, it is very powerful. John Boyne forms Bruno in the story as an innocent boy wanting to learn. It was very sad, but I suggest it none the less as a good reminder of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering all the people who died because of it. It also shows the cruelty of the Nazis, but I appreciated the perspective of a Nazis. How their family felt about the whole thing. But, as I said before, it may be sad, but I think it is worth looking into reading.

Christmas Carol

Christmas Carol

By Charles Dickens

bsc

All Ebenezer Scrooge cares about is money. He works his employees to the brink and doesn't give a thought on it. Christmas time is even worse for Scrooge. Ba humbug, he says to anything happy. No carols, no turkey, and NO Christmas! But that all changes on the night of Christmas Eve; when he is visited by three Christmas ghosts. The ghost of Christmas past, the ghost of Christmas present, and the ghost of Christmas future. These ghosts give Scrooge a deadly warning: Scrooge better change his cruel ways or the end is near for him. Can the grumpy, cranky old Scrooge change for good? Happy reading!

The Treasury of Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Marvelous Land of Oz, Ozma of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, the Road to Oz, the Em

By L. Frank Baum

Follow Dorthey and her friends through this magical land called Oz. Along the way they learn the true importance of love, bravery, and intelligence. There is no place like home! I suggest this for 8+ and I encourage you to read past the first page. At first this book is a little bizarre but as you go you will get entranced in the story. I also suggest it for people who like Alice in Wonderland, family, fantasy, and sci-fi. (I am not really into sci-fi, but this is an exception.) Happy Reading!

Tuck Everlasting

Tuck Everlasting

By Natalie Babbitt

Tuck Everlasting is the story where after Winnie Foster runs away to the other side of the fence where the forest of Treegap , meeting Jesse Tuck and his family soon after learning the secret that they drank some spring water that granted them immortality (as in never seeming to grow old and can't die). But there's someone else that they'll soon meet that wants to sell that water for profit. Connecting this to my life, it reminds me of my awareness of mortality and other books that tell you something important, but in a subtle way. I really liked this book because of its writing and its way of storytelling. The only reason that this review is 4 stars and not 5 is because nothing really struck out to be, for me at least, an extreme page turner. Overall this book is great for lots of kids. 4/5 Would recommend.
