The Invention of Hugo Cabret
By: Brian Selznick
This book was a lot like Wonderstruck (see review to the left) because they both had pictures. Don't let the size of these books deceive you. It is mostly pictures. The Invention of Hugo Cabret was also a bit confusing until a certain part. I enjoyed reading it an it was a bit different for me.-Bella
Wonderstruck
By: Brian Selznick
This book was good. I enjoyed it. There are a lot of pictures. I honestly was a bit confused but that cleared when Rose shared her story. After I read the book I sat there and thought about the book in awe. Everything soon made sense! If you read this book and like it you should read The Invention of Hugo Cabret (see review to the right). They are both written by Brian Selznick. They both have the pictures too. -Bella
Little House in the Big Woods
By: Laura Ingalls Wilder
This book is an autobiography about Laura Ingalls Wilder. This book is the first book in the "Little House" series. It is about all the special adventures in Laura's early childhood. This book is very interesting to read because it takes place in the 1800s. In my opinion, I think learning about everyday life back then is really cool.-Jessie
Little House on The Prairie
By: Laura Ingalls Wilder
This is the second book in the "Little House" series. This book is about Laura and her family moving to a prairie in Kansas. But, the prairie is in Indian territory, so they are threatened to move out. I think this book is interesting because it tells you how it was like to travel, construct a log house, and deal with Indians randomly coming into your house in the 1870's. I find that very fascinating.-Jessie
The Unsung Hero of Birdsong , USA
By: Brenda Woods
This book talked about how racism affected being a WW11 veteran. I had never heard of African-American veterans being treated poorly so this was eye-opening. I liked how the narrator was an innocent kid and you got to see how his opinions changed throughout the book. Read this book.-Norah

Fever 1793
By: Laurie Halse Anderson
Usually historical fiction is boring or hard to understand, but this was told in a way that not only made sense, but was fast paced and thrilling. Imagine your father died long ago, there is a huge outbreak of a deathly illness, your mother has it AND you have to travel to a far away farm with only your grandfather. Read more to see how the character handled all that and more. (Review Written before Covid)-Norah
I loved this book so much. I couldn't put it down! Fever 1793 is about yellow fever. This book portrays the emotion and how it would be to live in the time of yellow fever. This fever is terrifying and an absolute death sentence and this book really captures that. I would totally recommend this book. It helps you understand a lot about this time while being very entertaining.-Bella

A Night Divided
By: Jennifer A. Nielsen
Gerta wants to be with her brother and dad, but a wall in berlin separating the east and the west divided them. Gerta could have gone with them, but her mother insists they stay at home. The berlin wall ruined Gerta's life by bringing down friendships and separating families. This was a good book, it had many secrets and can make you anxious. I learned more about the berlin wall than I did before I read this. It's a great learning experience.-Lena
Ahimsa
By: Supriya Kelkar
I have always liked historical fiction, but I especially liked this one. Anjali is a in the time period where the British took over India. Her mother started to join the peace act against the british. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes or even dislikes historical fiction.-Annabelle

By: Roland Smith
The Captain's Dog follows the Lewis and Clark expedition. It's told from the perspective of the captain's dog, Seaman. Seaman tells everything about their journey, the hardships and many triumphs of the group. It's an okay book, but the end isn't good. I would recommend this book because its an interesting read.-Allie

This diary, even though not written by the real Catharine Carey Logan, sounds as if it was. This is a wonderful, and scary, book that takes you across the fields and through the deeply scarring times Catharine lived through. She becomes part of the culture she feared. In this story, you'll start to become attached to characters you never thought you would be. You should definitely read this book!-Allie
