It showed me how life can go on despite all the trials and circumstances that someone could ever experience. Its heart warming story lines have really encouraged me to trust on my self and never give up. It show how a young girl live by herself and experience the cruelty of people. It made me realize how thankful I am to have a home and a family to live with whose always their for me. It showed me how fortunate I am to be sent in a prestigious school, to be able to eat and sleep in comfy and pleasing home. Touching, powerful in its simplicity, and quite impossible to put down once started, this is a book which celebrates the courage which lies in the human spirit, and the kindness that can be found there. Crow-girl embodies much of what we would like to see in ourselves, and in her story we can find a message of both hope and peace.

    Bill Crow has compiled a great collection of stories. This book looks into the personalities and humor of the Jazz world. Being a jazz player himself, Crow is obviously familiar with the life of a Jazz musician, and he has written down some hilarious tales that Jazz players have passed on to one another. This book shows how the jazz world as it really is. The entire book is filled, page by page, with hilarious stories of pranks, goofs, getting hired, getting fired, stuff that happened while on the road, jokes, nicknames, and unforgettable moments while playing at clubs. It also gives you a good feel for what the lives of jazz musicians were like the camaraderie and competition, the struggles over money, and the terrible working conditions.…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    This book was written by Jacqueline, an African American author. I choose this book because I think it is a great representation of cultural diversity. It is about a rope that became an important item for an African American family. The family used the rope for three generation. The rope moved with the family from South Carolina to New York in the period of The Great Migration. The family used the rope in different ways such as: to jump, to tie things, to dry sweet flowers...etc. It is a good story of hope and joy of a little African American girl during her journey with her family. What I like about this book is that it shows to the young readers the importance of families traditions. It is nice to keep and use old things that remind us of a family member or even a home country. Also, expose the students to other families' traditions.…

    I can’t say I’m astonished by the State Board of Education’s decision to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird”. After all, what can you expect from such short-minded people? Such people that regrettably are put in the position to judge what books are moral and fit to be read by young adults. Is it the book’s display of what really happens in the world, or the book’s lessons of protecting innocence and standing up for what you see as right, that makes this book so disgraceful, that we must shelter young minds from?…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Drew and Gabie find the name who placed the order on the night she went missing. Kidnapper or murderer, they planned on finding out who this man really was. A third reason why I liked this book was because the layout of the story was catchy. The plot of the story made sense and she didn't leave out any details about what happen that would throw off the reader. The information was straight forward and you always wanted to keep on reading. The author, April Henry, was a writer by night and a public speaker at special homes for troubled kids during the day. She brings you real-life situations that occur to ordinary kids and puts meaningful life-lessons into a story. April has a small collection of mystery themed books that you may enjoy as well. Her dedication is strong as she writes to entertain kids and teach them about…

    Having a very young and innocent narrator vaguely disrupts the novel having such a deep and mature context. Having Scout, a child, retell serious events through her naïve mind, gives a very censored outlook. Scouts perspective on significant events gives readers a very truthful honest opinion on ways Scout grasps and understands the, very grown up, situations in which she witnesses.…

    Throughout the story there were two main characters; the narrator (assumed Granddaughter), and Mataji the Grandmother. Both characters would be best described as “dynamic”, as they both have many personality traits, ranging from good to bad throughout the story. As the story itself follows two plots being present and past, similarities were noticed between the Granddaughter and Mataji’s actions. Proving the strong relationship between the Granddaughter and Mataji.…
