I am a fifth grader. This book is not that great in my opinion. I'm more of a horror and mystery person myself, but if you take interest in a sad story that ends in happiness then I guess it would be good. Also the art is pretty good and the story line is ok. In conclusion, this book is not that great and the only reason I rate it a two is, because of the art.

I just read this book and it is totally awesome. Mafatu was afraid of the sea, unlike the people in his village. Starting when he was 3, he saw his mother die because of a storm, and that started his fear. All his life until he was 15, he was teased and bullied all because of his fear of the sea. Mafatu couldn't stand it, so he started out onto a journey to prove his courage. As he was starting his journey, he was caught in a storm and landed in a desert island with his dog, Uri, as his only companion. In the island, Mafatu learns how to face his fears, learning to hunt and love the sea, just like everyone in the village. Finally, Mafatu realizes he has to go back to his island, where he is greeted as a hero to everyone in his home village. This book teaches people what courage is like and how to face your fears, one step at a time. I recommend this book to people between ages 9-15, and people who love adventures that tell them what they truly mean to people like them.

I just loved this book so much! I would read this book 20 times and still love it. It's so funny! It does have quite a bit of kid-parent conflict, a hostile AI vice principal, and a funny group of friends!

Daniel West, a son of a doctor in Salem, Massachusetts in era of American Revolution (1770s). Daniel, who you would often see with Beckett, Peter Ray, Jeremy, and few others. Daniel, himself is a Loyalist (or Tory) or at least he thought he was. His father, who often away being in Boston, which everyone often would say that Mr. West is ignoring his own practice as a doctor. And I have one major question related to this; Since that Daniel West had to make very important decision of his lifetime, like is Daniel West a truly a Loyalist or a Patriot (Whigs)? Read on and find it out! - Happy Reading!

you should read this book why it is funy mebiy i'm wrong but that is my opintion read then tell me how whas the book or rate it.

This book is so amazing! Readers can experience the miracles of God on Noah's Ark from the authors perspective. I absolutely adore the characters! In many ways they face the same challenges we face today. They set an example of how we should handle different situations the way God wants us to handle things. I recommend this book to people who are interested in the biblical times, and animal lovers.

I absolutely love this book. J.M. Barrie is a masterfully clever writer. I read this book years ago, and re-read it every year. It is a beautiful tale, beautifully told.

An adorable comic book where cats are telling the news instead of humans, very cute and funny, and recommended for all cat(or pet) lovers! :)

We all know the answer to this. "The person who created apple!" "The creator of iPads!" "A great person who changed our lives!" But, this book has the complete story of his life. He was an adopted child, has two sisters, one real sister and one sister that was adopted. This is the inside story of Steve Jobs.

After the bleak and repressive society of the Giver, here is a society that is too wild, where one must fight to survive, and those who can claw their way to the top are the victors. Kira was born crippled, so they wanted to toss her into certain death via mauling by Beasts in The Field, but her mother was strong and fought them off. Now her mother is dead, dead of a mysterious illness, and they want her in The Field. They take her to the Council Edifice, where the powerful Council of Guardians decide whether she lives or dies. A powerful figure comes to her aid: it is Jamison, assigned by the Council to be her Protector. He defends her, saying that her incredible talent in weaving more than makes up for her crippled leg. Kira is tasked by the Guardians with an important task: she must repair the robe of the Singer, who retells her village's history annually. She goes with her friend, the scruffy Matt, to her new quarters in the Council Edifice, where she meets the Carver, a boy around her age who carves the Singer's staff. She learns the art of dyeing from Annabella, a wise elder. However, something's not right. She and Thomas soon meet a tyke named Jo, who is gifted with Singing. Unlike them, though, she is not allowed to leave, she is locked in her room. IS there something the Council's not telling them? I found this novel to be good, but not that good. Warning: it ends on a not really cliffhanger per se, but it certainly urges you, practically forces you to read the next book. It was a real pleasure reading about Kira getting saved and trying to protect herself against her enemies, at the beginning. But the book sort of died out in the middle, with unease being introduced slowly, bit by bit, until the semi-explosive resolution. All in all, it would have been much better if the pacing was a little quicker. It was a companion, not a sequel: you won't be seeing Jonas or the others in this book. All in all, I liked how it had a bigger emphasis on teamwork, friendship, etc., especially between Kira and that little boy named Matt, who has a very interesting way of speaking and an optimistic outlook on life. By the end, you will realize that though the societies from this book and The Giver are outwardly different, they have a similar warning: choose who you trust, for they may be lying. A final note: I don't think this book was all that dystopia as The Giver (now that was a masterpiece dystopian novel): it reads more of a novel about overcoming your defects, both physical and mental, by relying on your friends. If you liked The Giver, you really NEED to read this book (and the rest of the books in the series.)
