It is a great book by r.l stine and the camera is creepy even the part where she throws the evil camera into the pond and appears at home. Please follow me my name is above ( not my real name only for this )

This book is very interesting and deep. No blood, but may be disturbing for some very delicate people. Another amazing Makoto Shinkai manga book!

This book was very awesome because of the action, hooks and surprises. They were very catchy. I loved when they introduced the Hot Snot character. He was funny but spiteful.

This is a story about two sisters and a boy, but they live in different times. The boy lives in the present and the sisters, Cassie and Josie live in the past. They talk to each other by a board. Josie and Cassie leave letters for Alec the boy to find. Only the sister's mother does child abuse and takes their beloved tutor, Emily away from them. The girls set out to find Emily which, in one word leads them to adventure.

It is an interesting book.It helped me improve my vocabulary and critical thinking in different situations.

I really love this book!! It took five shouts from my cousin to get me to put the book down. A little romantic as well, I must add. But, please do remember it is for 10 and above. I can finally see why. Maybe don't give it to your younger siblings unless they are above or are at 10 years of age.

A memoir of a child soldier in Sierra Leone, A long way gone, by Ishmael Beah, will take you on an expedition through survival and the suffering of many people. A struggle that everyone faced but couldn’t do anything about it, it was an impossible cause. A miraculously delivery. In the telling of his story, he takes a position to view the war as an innocent child. As an innocent child he makes the reader view the story from the perspective he did. The reader will experience an understanding of the war, the suffering of many losses, and the minds of the young and elderly. This all began during the beginning of the civil war, which spreaded out fairly quick though small villages, destroying families, and small tribes which then became a bloodbath. It was a commotion and was just violent matters that couldn’t be adjusted. At the age of 10 Beah couldn’t believe what was happening, his imagination at that age didn’t have the capacity to grasp what had taken away the happiness of the refuges. Beah had to then realize that the war was real. Because of the loss of many people from the war that became so intense, the government was shortlisted and needed to recruit people. Beah was recruited at the age of 13 and was forced into combat against the rebels. In the period he was enlisted for about three years Beah was forced to take drugs in order to turn him into a master killer. Beah faced many things many don’t face at the age of 13. He faced death everyday and suffered the loss of many of his friends and family members. At the age of 13 Beah lost his innocence. You could say that it wasn’t his fault because he tells you what he wanted to live and the way he really did. He would have preferred it to be a dream and not his life story. He wrote about the line between reality and dreams but throughout days that line became to disappear. Beah Spent weeks with just a little or no sleep at all. He was just attacking village to village. For people like us we can usually wake up and forget about the dream we have or we can wake up and just keep that memory but Beah couldn’t do that, although he would really want to just wake up he can’t, that memory, that life he is really living it. Besides the violence and the killing Beah wants to know who he really is. He wants to know where he came from, his heritage, and his traditions. In telling the story of his survival, Beah weeps in his childhood memories. It makes his realize how important traditions, heritage, elders, family and especially the way he grew up. These memories just stayed as memories because he had lost his innocence fairly young. These memories were no longer available until he received rehabilitation, he then accepts himself and gives readers hope. Throughout this story, Beah’s message is very clear: he witnesses many losses, many destruction of different villages, including his own. He not only sees destruction but he sees life before war. He experiences many difficulties throughout this period. Beah watched his whole life turn upside down. The people he loved were tremendously hurt. Adults and Elders from different families, different villages were hurt as well. Many people were scared not only of the rebels but even their own family, they couldn’t trust anyone. People were afraid because no one could be themselves anymore. On different occasions Beah watched kids destroy families and villages. Children killed adults and set villages on fire. Older people were not respected, they no longer were able to give their opinion. Traditions were lost and everything was just about war now. No one cared about the values of anyone, everything was just violence and killing. Eventually Beah went to New York and was removed from the society he got so traumatized in. He was then removed from drugs and violence. He then slowly goes back into civilian life. A bit after he meets his new family, his new mother his foster mother. He faces new challenges like living with new family, new people in his life, ad a totally new civilization. He goes to school to finish high school and is faced with people who judged him for his past life. Although these challenges he still was curious about his violent past and wanted to know more about it. He couldn’t though, no one could tell him anything because they didn’t know either. In the end Beah’s leaves readers with hope as well as a feeling of encouragement. He wants people to feel a responsibility for their own society. But, he has transformed everyone. He inspired people to take action against the use of children, and take action against war.
