  • Colonial Voices: Hear Them Speak
    • Rated 0 stars

    “Ethan is a news printer and delivery boy.This was right before the American revolution. He delivers papers to patriots and loyalits. He hears about what they think about freedom from patriots and loyalits from the hair dresser school teacher and more.He is a patriot himself! I recomend his book!! Hather Wlliamson


    Have you ever imagined what it would be like to live through the Boston Tea Party? What would it feel like to be an Indian or a slave in 1773? Would you be a loyalist or a patriot? Well, the book Colonial Voices helps you to understand each person's point of view during this time. Ethan the "errand boy" goes around handing out flyers about the meeting the Sons of Liberty are holding. Each page in this book lets you into the mind of the person that is recieving the flyer and thier views on the tea tax. What is this meeting about though? The Sons of Liberty think that it is time to take a stand against this unfair tea tax that has been placed on them by the British Parliament. What will they do to stop it? Read Colonial Voices to find out. I liked this book because it let you hear the thoughts of different people on the issue of the tea tax and was written in a very creative way.

  • Women Daredevils: Thrills, Chills, and Frills
    • Rated 0 stars

    “Women Daredevils is a good book except if you are a boy! Women dare devils is about meny women and their coragis stunts.Since 1809 women have been doing exstreamly crazy stunts like changing an airplane wheel while in flight! These wemon probly didn't like staying home! I recomend this book to any one any gender.You can learn about wonderous women in history! Heather Ms.Williamson

    Woman daredevils is about woman who do crazy stunts. Like one woman got inside a barrel and went down a waterfall,her name was Anne Edson Taylor. One woman also shot out of a cannon. People called her Zazell. Mlle D. Zizi and gertrude Breton went across a type rope on a bike. Last but not least May Wirth does amazing tricks off Horses. Read women daredevils to see more crazy stunts! Nathan Mills

    This book is about women who are daredevils. I would recommand this book to anyone who likes exciting things. The things I like is that not only men are daredevils women can do anything that men can do. My favorite is the human cannonball because usually woman dont like to get shot out of a cannon. Kalyn Mills

    I think you should read the book "Women Daredevils Thrills, Chills And Frills" because it tellls about all the different kinds of things that women did. Some of the things they did to be famous or get money included, one thing a person did was a lady got shot out of a cannon.Another thing a lady did was they rode down Niagra Falls in a barrel.I think some of the other things are crazy! I would never do any of the things that the ladies did in the book. I like how the book told what they would wear and how they did these things. I also liked how these women did things that most boys would do and not girls, so they could show that they were good at things too. I think most people would like this book because to me it was a good book. Nicole/Mill

    This hair raising book is about all these diffrent heroic women who did lots of amazing things. Daredeivles are all aboutheart and strengh if you ask me. All of these women did lots of things to become famous. One stunt is standing on a wing of a plane shooting a target can you ever think of doing that??! Read to find out what other women did to become famous of doing lots of famous stunts.
    Maddie/Calloway

    Have you ever gone over Niagra Falls in a wooden barrel? Have you ever tried to wrestle with tigers? Have you ever plummeted into a tank of water on horseback? Most people wouldn't even think about trying to perform these stunts, but there were a few that did! Surprisingly, some of the people that did these crazy things were women! You might think that some senseless man would dare to bolt himself in a barrel and take a ride down Niagra Falls, but not a woman. The book Woman Daredevils tells you about different women who proved that they had the strength, courage and passion to take on all kinds of stunts that came their way. I liked this book because I respect the women that, even in times where girls were discriminated against, they rose up and weren't afraid to be unique.

  • All the Lovely Bad Ones
    • Rated 0 stars

    “All the lovely bad ones is a story about two kids Corey and Travis that go to their grandmothers inn in Vermont. They soon found out that there have been ghost sightings and so Corey dressed up as a ghost and started scareing people. They found out that they awakened ghost that used to live there when it was a poor farm. So to get the ghost to sleep Travis and Corey have to make a tombstone for all the ghost that died and get rid of mis Ada Jags the person who killed the ghost. They found the book with all the names of all the ghost who died and in doing so the devil takes Mis Ada and the tombstone is made and the rest of the ghost rested in peace. Jacob Mills


    I reccomend this book to anyone that likes ghost stories. My favorite part is when they first find out about the ghost and when they read the book about the haunted hotel. My favorite character is corey. The reason that she is my favorite character is because she is not afraid of anything like ghost.Now that I have read that book, it is my faavorite book so far. Mackenzie Mills

    You may not really believe in ghosts. Neither did Travis and his sister Corey. They went to visit their grandmother's inn and tried to "scare" some of the guests. They did not realize that their tricks would result in a scary adventure. If you read this book, you will get to meet seval ghosts (Caleb, Ira, and Seth) as well as Miss Ada (the evil ghost who caused all of the problems). Make sure you read the whole book, if you don't you may have a few nightmares until you learn how the story ends. Mr. Rich

    I loved how the story went.I always new something bad was going to happen when the started to do the pranks . I actually thought it was funny when they did it though. I really would not want to be there when mrs.ada came out. I dont like how she miss treated the lovely bad ones. I think it was interesting when caleb Ira and seth came to speak to the to children. at first i thought Mrs.brewster was really ms.ada,and of course like I said before I really loved this funfilled exiting book.Patrick Mrs.Mills

    It started out as a joke. Just a simple joke. All they wanted to do was scare the guests at their grandmother's inn into thinking the ghosts of Fox Hill had returned. Travis and his sister Corey didn't mean to actually awaken real ghosts. Especially not Miss Ada. Miss Ada is the reason all the other ghosts are there. She was the one that left them out in the cold, starving. She was the one who beat them. She was the one who hung herself and became a ghost just like all the others. Now she has come back to haunt the children who woke her. Miss Ada can just look at you and all the horrors and sufferings of your life will come back. You will feel pain, you will feel powerless, you will be fearful. And now, Travis and Corey have to put Miss Ada back to sleep along with all of the other ghosts they stirred up. To accomplish this task, they have to do something no one would dare to do. Dig in Miss Ada's grave... at midnight! With the help of three ghosts they encountered named Ira, Seth and Caleb, hpefully the two pranksters can put an end to what they have gotten themselves into...Hopefully. Read All the Lovely Bad Ones to find out what happens to Cprey and Travis. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a spine-tinling campfire story that you can savor for hours. Lanie Mrs. Hane

    All the Lovely Bad Ones is about two kids that like playing tricks on others. They have to stay at their grand mothers inn in Fox Hill Vermont. A book at the inn proves that their are gousts in their and the two kids bring the ghosts back to the inn.Also the two kids go too far and accidently bring two ghost hunters to the inn! Heather Ms.Williamson

    I recommend the book "All The Lovley Bad Ones" because it was interesting and exciting.It was so exciting at some points that it made me want to read all day until i finished it.The book was about lots of people that went to this farm and the owner Mrs. Ada totures them until they die.One day her husband and brother leave her so she hangs a rope on a tree in the grove(wher the trees are)and hangs herself.Later the relatives come back,they see her dead and the burie her.Later on two kids come along and wake up her ghost by acting like one.The rest you will have to read to find out! I hope my summary convinces you to read it! I loved it and i'm sure you will to! Nicole dent Mrs. Mills All the Lovely Bad Ones is a great adventure through the after life.Travis and his sister,Corey, go to their Grandma's hotel, and they find out the place is haunted. As they discover more about the history of the hotel, they find 3 ghosts. They also find out that not all ghosts are good.What will happen next? Graycen Mrs. Mills [BREAK]
    All The Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn - Travis and Corey are going to their Grandma's house for the summer. Their Grandmother runs a motel called Fox Hill. They love the motel. It used to be haunted. Who believes inghosts? Travis and Corey are pranksters.

    The Totally Made-Up Civil War Diary of Amanda by Claudia Mills
    I read The Totally Made-Up Civil War Diary of Amanda MacLeish. Amanda has to write a Civil War diary for a school project. She loves her main character. Her name is Polly in the diary. Her brothers are away fighting in the war. When Amanda's parents separate, she wishes she were Polly. Amanda and her sister Steffi hope their parents will get back together. You should read this book, its great! Anna Szalwinski


    I think you should read the book "The Totally Made-Up Cilvil War Diary of Amanda Macleish" because it is like a real story and I liked it ALOT! What this book is mostly about is ...This girl named Amanda Macleish has been assigned to write a diary about a made up person from the 1900's. Amanda makes her Polly entries relate to her real life like... Amanda 's parents seperate and she is very sad and mad so she makes Pollly's brothers go off to war and fight against each other. Amanda also gets a cat so in her next entry she writes about polly getting a cat too. To me this was a really GREAT book and i think YOU should read it too! Nicole/Mills
    Amanda loves to write. It helps take her away from the problems she faces in real life. One of her writing assignments is to create a diary about a girl living in the time of the Civil War. The book shifts from Amanda's real life to her diary and the life of Polly. To learn about the challenges and surprises facing both Amanda and Polly, you should read this book. It tells a realistic story of a family split by the Civil War and another family split by parents that just can't get along with each other. Amanda is caught in the middle. Mr. Rich”

  • When the Wolves Returned: Restoring Nature's Balance in Yellowstone
    • Rated 5 stars

    “



    When the wolves returned is a book about what happened when they got rid of all the wolves in Yellowstone park. Yellowstone is a park that is very special. Yellowstone is allso famous because of all the animals that live there. That is allso one of the reasons that we named it the national park in 1872. One of the animals are the wolves. People thout that the wovles were going to ruin the park because they eat elk. Elk were the most popular animals at the park. So they got rid of the wolves. They soon relized that it was a bad idea. With the wolves gone there were more coyoties and that made other animals fight for food. People tried everything. Trees were roted and birds were out of a home. Scientest thout that a forest fire might help but they were wrong. It just made things wose. So they thout that bringing the wolves back. That helped because with the wolves back on top that ballencnet every out and that restored the ballence and Yellowstone was back to normal. Jacob Mills


    When the wolves retuned is a book with alot of facts like, more than one hundred years ago america turned yellowstone into the world's first national park. If you read this book you will get to learn alot of facts just like that one. I would recommend this book to others to read. Kalyn Mills.


    This book tells what happens when you abolish the top peice of the foo the lower chain part will grow. This book takes place in Yellowstone national park and how it became the first national park. The hunters where given monney to kill the wolves to save the big game like elk. Then Yellowstone national park starts to fall apart. The scientist belive that a forsest fire will fix the proplem, but the elk nealy wipe out the plants. the scincist thought that the wolves will save the park. Read When The Wolves Reaturn to find out more. Brandon -Mills When the Wolves Returned is a book about Yellowstone National Park.It is about what happened when the wolves were hunted to extinction in the park by 1929.It also says that when the wolves returned natural things, like trees and other plants grew back because the wolves kept the elk on the move.I recomend reading this book to find out more about when the wolves returned.Caitlyn Hane




    When the wolvesreturn is about when hunters start to kill the wolves,and there are barely none left.Since there are no more wolves left, there is a numerous number of elk, there are numerous number of coyotes to. Coyotes eat new born proghorn. If you want to find out if the wolves return or not you are going to have to read the book. Kiaria Mrs.Williamson


    I actually did not like this one because it was short I think it was funny because it was a chain reaction they took out the wolves then the elk grew in numbers they ate roots so that they decreased then coyotes increased ate the elk so elk decreased and after a while the decided to put the wolves back in and then everything turned backto normal. Patrick Mrs.Mills


    When the wolves returned is about getting the wolves to come back to yellowstone national park. Wolves are the most rare species in yellowstone because thier at the top of the food chain and they hunt alot of the animals and because of that people are trying to kill them. The wolves even eat the coyotes and the foxes. Elk packs have grown larger over the years to protect thereselves from the wolves. People are putting up sighns like "kill the wolves" or "wolves be gone". But would you like to restore nature's balance in yellowstone. Read when the wolves returned to see what happens. Nathan Mills
    I liked half this book because it was about wolfs!And I have to admit that is one interesting book.But I dont like the parts were it says the hunters killed the wolfs!!!! And it is very detailed! mackenzie szalwinski

    When The Wolves Retured is about Yellowstone Park. Wolves like to eat elk and deer and so do people, so hunters were paid to kill wolves. By 1926 the all wolves were gone. Then trees, newborn pronghon, shrubs, and cottonwoods had a hard time surviving. So scientists thought that forest fires would make it better but they were wrong. So they brought back the wolves and the trees grew back, there were more newborn proghon because the wolves ate half of the coyotes, so animales come back and Yellowstone Park was back to normal. Jayde Clonts

    When the wolves return is a good book. It talks about if the wolves return return to yellowstone park.The wolves left because people where distroying their habbitat . The elk took over the land then coyoties did what the wolves where spose to do. Then scincest said they needed the wolves back in yellowstone park,and so they got them back. Heather Williamson

    In the book the When the Wolves Returned there was a park called Yellowstone park that was open for a long time that had lots of wolves and animals. Then they realized that the wolves were killing the elk so they hired hunters to kill the wolves so that the wolves would not kill the elk.And when the wolves left more and more elk came. Know they want to bring the wolves back so that they could see if that weould work and if you read the book you would like it. Brione Mrs.Mills
    Yellow stone is a very speicla place in the 1800's was a magical region tucked into the northwestern corner of wyoming. Yellowstone was the firdt national park It is a corloful fabulours canyon with great waterfalls. The original purpose for the park was to preserve it's geoglogic wonders for visters , But one thing they did not like was that the wolfes were feeding on there wondful animlas. so they pais people to kill them by 1926 they were all gone, but than the saw that when they took them away it effeted all the animal in the park, So they took some from canda and broght them to yellowstone in groups in a while the wolfes started to increase. So the reason I like this book is because that it told the history of Yellowstone and the wolfes. Keon,Mrs. siegmund d chain




    When the wlves returned is about the wolves in yellowstone. Wolves were killed so the elk poploutaion went up.The wolves were a the top at the food chain in yellowstone in 1995 and 1996 seven packs of wolves where realded in yellow stone.


    I think that you should read the book ''When The Wolves Returned'', because i read it and i loved it.I loved this book because it was non-fiction (not-fake) and it told me about mother nature and Yellowstone park.The showed great pictures andtold me great facts! The main idea of the book was that people thought that the wolves would kill other animals so they removed them from Yellowstone park.When the wolves ledt everything went wrong.They brought the books back and everyting went back to normal. I learned that animals are still returning to Yellow stone park today. I hope you read this book,it seemed like a very intersting book(to me)!!! Nicole Dent Mrs. Mills

    The nonfiction book When Wolves Return explains to us that every organism in an ecosystem relies on one another. This story tells us about how people weree hunting the wolves in the Yellowstone National Park and eventually, the wolves were killed off. Park officials didn't understand just how important these creatures were to the environment. They thought that killing the wolves would help the elk and other big game animals. Unfortunately, killing the wolves was more destructive than helpful. In return, there was an overabundance in coyotes that fed on insects and small animals such as ground squirrels, pronghorns, and badgers making it hard for these creatures to survive. Even the trees and shrubs were suffering without the wolves. To try to solve this problem, wolves were brought back to the Yellowstone Park in hopes that they could restore this beautiful landmark. The plan worked, and now Yellowstone's ecosystem is back in balance. Scientists have learned a lot from this experience.
    Lanie
    Hane



    When The Wolves Returned is about how officals and scientist are trying to restore nature's balance in YellowStone. First they tried to take away the wolves from YellowStone. That didn't work because wolves eat elk and so the population of elk grew rapidly. After that they tried adding coyotes hoping they would eat the elk in place of the wolves. Next they returned the wolves to there natural habitat. Scientist and officals realized that they should not have messed with YellowStone at all and I loved the book. Shannon,williamson”

  • Every Soul A Star
    • Rated 0 stars

    “The book that i read is called Every Soul a star. The charater"s are Ally, Bree and Jack. This story is non-fiction. This story is about 2 girls and 1 boy and they moved to a campground and they love to talk about space and the eclipse. i really like this book becase it gives you informatian about Ally and her freind. What else happens in the story is Jack is doing a report about this star that he saw at night. It was big and brite.But what else happens is Bree is hideing something from everybody. Madison SZalwinski


    This story is about three friends Ally,Bree,and Jack.They all have diffrent personalities.Growing up for them wasn't that easy.Ally seems like she lives in a magical world all abuot her imagination.Jack hates science.Bree is very popular, so everybody says.But when you put these three together they can do anyhting.
    Cynthia Johnson



    I recommend the book ''Every Soul A Star'' because it is very different for most books and it is interesting.I think it was unusal because there were three main characters in the story and the chapters were named after them(It was shown be different point of view.)The book also had symbols for the mian characters. So if you were reading a chapter about one of the character's at the bottom of the page there would be their symbol. It was mostly about space and a campground.These three kid's family come to see a eclipse ,the eclipse happens and they leave except for one family who buys the campground from the other pepole.All of the kids hope to see each other again soon in the story.This may sound like a really boring book except it's not and I really hope you try the book out for yourself! Nicole Mrs. Mills


    This book I just read about is three kids named ,Ally,Bree,and Jack.All of these people are coming to a campground clled "Moon Shadow".( The reason that the campground is called Moon shadow is because when the total eclipes comes the moon's shadow froms on the campground.)Ally,Bree,and Jack are here because ,Ally lives there,Bree is moving there,and Jack is doing it to get out of Summer school.Oh,this book is an astronomy and it has all thes neat facts in it about space and the solar system. READ THIS AWSOME BOOK!
    Maddie, Mrs.Brown [BREAK]
    Every Soul A Star by Windy Mass Allie is a girl who has lived at a camp ground her whole life with her parents and her brother. Allie loves the camp ground. She loves to look at the Moon and the stars. Allie and her brother help her parents run the camp ground. Bree loves fashion and hates the outdoors. Her main priority is how she looks. She loves sleeping over with her best friend and is annoyed by her little sister Melanie. She hates the fact that she has to move to a camp ground. Jack is a chubby boy who doesn't have any friends and loves to draw. This summer he fails science and has to go to summer school. His science teacher asks him if he wants to go to a camp ground to see a solar eclipse. If he goes, he doesn't have to go to summer school. These three unlikely friends become best friends while experienceing a solar eclipse. I enjoyed this book. You will too. Anna Mrs. Szalwinski [BREAK]
    I love Every Soul a Star! Describing the Moon Shadow campgrounds as rural is something of understatment. Far away from the city lights,the campgrounds are free from light pollution , which makes them the ideal place to do some stargazing. Or to watch an eclipse. And, infact , a total eclipse is coming.Ally and her family run the campgrounds and they've been preparing for this eclipese for years. For a few weeks this summer, the campgrounds will be filled to capacity with eclipse chasers and astronomers. Ally cant't wait.She's passionate about astronomy and hopes to discover a comet someday.She may not have any friends and she's not really concerned about her hair,clothes but she knows her stars.Bree is kinda the polar opposite of Ally. She wants to be a model and reaps the benifits of her carefully cultivated popularity.When her parents anounced that they're going to the Moon Shadow campgrounds , Bree is crushed .She is not exactly a nature girl. Jack is going to the campgrounds in lieu of summer school. See,he failed science because he'd rather draw than pay attention in class, and his science teacher offered to take him on a two week trip to see the eclipse and help out his science with an astronomy exsperiament. He'll write a report a the end and it'll count as his science credit. But when he gets there he will find what he's looking for.The three kids form an unlikely friendship. Everything changes and they're all looking for much more. As the eclipse approaches maybe they will find it...If you want to know more you can read the book. Heather Williamson
    I think this is my favorite book this year. I combines astronomy, an isolated campground, an eclipse and an interesting story. At first it was difficult to follow because each chapter was told from a different person's point of view. The conflict between parents and children, friends and family make this a very interesting book. I recommend this to everyone. Mr. Rich”
