Feng Shen Ji by Tang Chi Fai

This book is a great motivation for doing what you believe in or rising up to a challenge many others feared or avoided. A king in a powerful kingdom decided that gods were no more helpful to the humans and controlled humans as their puppets. He believed that it was time to end the era of the rule of the gods. Although the king did not succeed, his son rose to the challenge and succeeded. This shows that success is not obtained through want or desires. However the desire or want to obtain a specific win should be the drive to start the journey toward the success. This book is beautifully written and drawn. It should win some awards for its concepts and the story as a whole.

A kingdom in darkness has only one hope for being restored to light. That one hope is depended on three peasants who sought out the Belt Of Deltora which is believed to hold magical powers against the evil. Each books in the series may be small or contain few amounts of pages, but the plot and story are humongous which shows how careful the author created the plot in which she can bring a score to the readers but it short as well. This book should definitely be recommend to kids who love books that are based on righteousness, adventure, and thrill.

This book is a perfect example of "not judging a book by its cover." When I recommend it to people, they ask what it is about. I tell them that the story revolves around the idea of human experiments and zombies. When they hear this, they just give me a blank expressions and say "fine." However once they got into the plot, they kept coming back to me and wanted to have a book discussion about it. 5 Stars.

WHEEL ON THE SCHOOL BY MEINDERT DEJONG

This book takes time around the 1800s. It takes place in a small village in Holland called Shora. This book is a historical fiction. The message of this book is that “when you start wonder you begin to make things happen”. This book was written by Meindert DeJong.

 This book is about school children (Lina, Jella, Auka, Pier and Dirk) who start to wonder why storks didn’t come to Shora to nest. “But why don’t storks come to Shora, but yet they go to all the towns around Shora to nest?” All the children asked the same question over and over again. So they all set out to find a wagon wheel, because storks nest in wagon wheel’s that are on rooftops. Like their school teacher said “when you start to wonder you begin to make things happen”. Well when you read this book you will ask those same questions and start to wonder…

I like this book a lot because when you read this book you start to feel like you are in this book. I would love to try other books from this author and would encourage you to, too! Read this book. It is so wonderful and your mind will be full of wonder.

It highlights what we couldn't see but shows us why we should see. It makes us watch the game from new perspectives. Keep up on NBA.com and its articles, before watching the videos so you know what to look for.

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Mockingjay the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. It's the very last book in the trilogy. My reasoning as to why i believe this book is called Mockingjay is because some role play is being done where one person is pretending to be another. Mocking one another. Like a mockingbird. The books last and has a few sad parts I wish I could rewrite but that's what makes the book so suspense filled.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Catching Fire written by Suzanne Collins is the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy after Hunger Games and before Mockingjay.

Christian Heroes,Then and Now: Amy Carmichael Rescuer of Precious Gems By: Janet and Geoff Berge

Amy Carmichael narrated this story. This story is a first-person narration. Amy is a reliable source of information because, she is telling the story of her own life. This book takes place in Ireland, China and India [mainly India]. This book takes place in the late 1800s to the early and middle 1900s. The setting influenced the plot of the book because of the different cultures and traditions of China and India oppose to Ireland. The theme of this book is to spread God’s word to everyone and everywhere. The message is that you should do anything your heart and God tells you to do. This book is a historical-fiction but it is also a biography.
This book is about a girl named Amy Carmichael, whom was born and raised in Ireland. She was raised as a Christian and grew up to be a Christian missionary to China, Japan and even India. She traveled to China and Japan, first and stayed for a couple years and then she felt as if God was calling her to India and then she traveled by boat to India. In India she had to learn their language and respect their way of life. She even got to wear a sari [a traditional Indian dress]. Later she preaches God’s word on the streets and then opens up and orphanage or group [as they were called] Starry Cluster. The Starry Cluster helped runaways or orphans to survive.

REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM BY KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN

Rebecca narrated this book. This book is a first-person narration. The narrator was a reliable source of information, considering this book was about her own life. This book takes place around the late 1800s to the early 1900s in Riverboro. The message of this book is that you don’t have to feel trapped in an imaginary life and dream about what your life could become but live it with freedom and then you will realize you will enjoy it better. The genre of literature is a classic.
This book is about a ten year old girl named Rebecca Randall. Rebecca gets sent to live with her aunts when she is ten years old because, her mother cared about Rebecca’s education. Her aunt Miranda did not want her, she wanted Rebecca’s older sister, Hannah instead. However, her aunt Jane was a loving, kind person and she loved that Rebecca could stay with them. Rebecca felt all alone in Riverboro, until she meets the Cobbs and her best friend. Mr. and Mrs. Cobb love how sweet Rebecca is and soon treat her like a granddaughter. Emma Jane is her best friend in the whole world.
I really enjoyed this book, because she listens to her heart and becomes a young lady. I would really love to read more by this author. I would encourage others to read this book because, it is fascinating and I think a lot of people will love this book.

But then her mom brings a new boyfriend home, Val, and she wants to share her custom with him. Only now, because Maggie doesn't like Val, she suddenly doesn't want to eat pizza anymore. Of course, she goes out with her friends there, which is how one day she meets Casimir. Casimir was not born in Newworld, so he knows other things, customs and phrases.

He even hires new workers to work on his plantation.  I would encourage you to read this book if you want to know what happens to Sugar.
