Stalking Jack the Ripper
By Kerri Maniscalco
Amazing book! I wouldn't call it a horror novel (as said in the description^)... it just has elements of Gothic fiction in it since it takes place in the late 1800s and follows real, actual events that happened in history. For context, Jack the Ripper (also known as the Leather Apron and the Whitechapel Murderer) was an unidentified murderer (he was never caught) known for killing women in London in 1888. The book is mainly a mystery where Audrey Rose Wadsworth, who studies forensics under her uncle, and her uncle's (very) clever student, Thomas Cresswell, are present during the time the murders start and have to use their knowledge and clues from the murders that keep happening to find out who Jack the Ripper is. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the 3 other books in the series, so if you enjoy this one, I highly recommend finishing the others, which are also based on historical murders. I'm not a huge mystery person, but this series grabbed my attention with its many plot twists and anticipation of finding out the murderer at the end of each book. It's pretty difficult to guess the murderer correctly because the author is so clever at making her readers never even suspect the actual culprit! Happy reading!
The House of the Scorpion
By Nancy Farmer
This book was one of the most amazing book I have read. Essentially, what it is about is that the main character, Matt, is a clone. He barely knew anything about other humans until he met his creator. Now he has a lot of power until something tragic happens. Read on to find out what happened because no spoilers! But like any book, it is not perfect. It has many time skips, with some of the major ones being 4 to 6 years. It is better than it is bad though. This book is action-packed and has many good cliff hangers that make you never want to stop reading. Its also a unique plot, not like one I've ever seen.

I Survived #6: I Survived the Attacks of September 11th, 2001
By Lauren Tarshis
To be honest, I absolutely love the I Survived series. The whole series is basically in the point of view of a person who survived a war, a horrible event, a terrorism attack, etc. It's basically a history book, but it sounds like a narrative and it's really to-the-point. This book is about Lucas, who loves football. When he gets a concussion during practice, the doctor says that his concussion is really bad for an 11-year-old. Lucas' parents decide that the sport is too dangerous, now that he has a concussion. Lucas has to talk to Uncle Benny, who taught him everything about football. He hopes that Uncle Benny can change his parents' mind. So, Lucas skips school and visits Uncle Benny (who is a firefighter in New York) and his dad, who works with Uncle Benny in the fire department. While they are talking, they were heading toward the Twin Towers when the first plane crashed! Uncle Benny and the firefighters (including Lucas' dad) tries to save as many people as they can. Lucas, on the other hand, tries to help as best as he can, but the room they are in collapses! Will everyone (or anyone) get out alive? Read this book to find out. I would not recommend this book to younger readers, because this is a very serious topic and not appropriate for them. Even though this was a short read, it made plenty of emotions rush through me - fear, angst, horror, and even happiness and relief. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I wept a little wept occasionally. One more thing: terrorism is an awful, awful thing, and I just hope that we can achieve world peace one day. Even if we do have one golden minute of world peace, I feel everything would crumble down again.. I'm sorry. I love this book, but I would subtract one star for not having a very good base or anything I can connect to.
I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005
By Lauren Tarshis
Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst storms to hit the United States. It happened in August 2005, and it caused a lot of destruction, especially in New Orleans. The storm was huge, and it changed the lives of so many people. When Katrina hit, it was really scary. The wind was so strong, and the rain was nonstop. People were afraid their houses would be destroyed, and many of them had to leave their homes to find shelter. The storm caused the levees (which are walls that protect the city from flooding) to break, and that made things even worse. The water flooded the streets, and some neighborhoods were completely underwater. People were stuck in their homes or on rooftops, waiting for help. A lot of people had to go to places like the Superdome to stay safe, but the conditions there were bad. There wasn’t enough food or water, and people were uncomfortable for days. It was hard to get help at first because everything was so messed up. The storm made a lot of people lose their homes, their belongings, and even loved ones. Even though Hurricane Katrina caused a lot of damage, it also showed how strong people can be in tough times. Many families helped each other, and neighbors came together to survive. Even though it was hard, the people who went through the storm kept going, and over time, they started rebuilding their homes and their lives. Hurricane Katrina also taught us important lessons about how to prepare for big disasters and how to help people who are affected by them. It’s a storm that people will always remember, and it changed New Orleans and the Gulf Coast forever.

Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice
By Phillip Hoose
Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice is a truly powerful and important book. It tells the story of a brave teenager who stood up against segregation by refusing to give up her seat on a bus—months before Rosa Parks. Claudette’s voice comes through clearly, and the book does an amazing job showing how one young person can make a difference. It’s emotional, educational, and deeply inspiring. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the real heroes of the Civil Rights Movement. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished!
