 * Adam A. || Under The Blood Red Sun || Graham Salisbury || 5 || I think the reason that I like this book is because I love reading about history. I enjoy reading most of the stories about the attack on Pearl Harbor. This book was captivating because it was about a Japanese family and how they saw the planes attack and how badly things went wrong for them. For example, Tomi’s, short for Tomikazu, dad and grandfather where sent to jail and he was left with his baby sister and his mother. Also, some people in this book were __very__ racist. ||

I liked this book because it was about the Jews and the Natieses. I am Jewish so I can relate the prayers and I new what they where talking about in the parts about the Jewish beliefs. It was a book of adventure and it was a page turner because you wanted to see what was next what would happen.
 * Joe C. || In my enemy's House || Carol Matas || 4 ||  ||


 * Aayan D. || Montmorency || Elanor Updale || 5 || This book is great, it is about how a prisoners live is completely transformed so he becomes a gentlemen from a thief. Very good read for people who like adventure; I recommend. ||
 * Tomas G. || Redwulfs Curse || Chris Priestley || 4 || I liked this book because every person who could do the murder has a reason they didn't so you jump from suspects until the end when the least expected person is the killer. ||
 * Alexander H. || Crispin and the cross of lead || avi || 3 || This book is very boring in the beginning but the end is so exciting that you can't put it down. ||
 * David I. || The 13th Floor a ghost story || Sid Fleischman || 4 || This book was very good, I liked it because it was about two orphans who were running out of money and they got a call from a very strange person said to be a relative that changed there lives for ever. ||
 * Bennett K. || When The Whistle Blows || Fran Cannon Slayton ||  || I enjoyed the book When the Whistle Blows because I love how the author put in a lot of antics all throughout the book. For example, when the main character threw the apple at the police car instead of the bully. I also liked how there were mini stories in the one big story. The mini stories lead up to make the big story which I really liked. ||
 * Paul K. || The 13th Floor A ghost Story || Sid Fleischman || 4/5 || I think that this book was very creative that they went back in time to the age of witchcraft by going into the 13th floor of a building after they got a call from a mysterious person that claims to be their distant relative and a pirate that left an artifact that could call out the ghost of the pirate. I would rate this book a 4 out of a scale of 5 because it starts to drone on about other things that weren't in the plot. This book was hard organize in your head but when it did it turned out to be a really great book. ||
 * Parker K. || Fallen Angels || Walter Dean Myers ||  ||   ||
 * Akshar P. || Ashes || Kathryn Lasky || 4 || This book started out as a book that had no plot at all. As I read through it, I realized that this was a book about a German family and how everything when Hitler had gotten elected, their school, how everybody acted towards them, and the country as a whole changed. They have a friend who is Jewish and they describe how her life changed dramatically when Hitler got elected. It ended up as a boring first half and then an exhilarating second half that was told from a first person point of view. ||
 * Anand P. || Eye of the Crow || Shane Peacock ||  ||   ||
 * Ted Q. || Number the Stars || Lowry ||  ||   ||
 * Matthew R. || Johnny Tremain || Esther Forbes || 4 || This book written by Esther Forbes was a great book from beginning to end. It takes place at the beginning of the thoughts of freedom in America. A young apprentice named Johnny Tremain who does not have any family starts out as a silversmith in Boston, then an injury to his hand forces him to change his life style and find a new trade so he can survive. Many things happen to him in the course of the book including a family cup, a possible rich relative, jail, The Sons of Liberty, British soldiers, and a girl who the main character has a crush on. This book is exciting from beginning to end, and most everyone will enjoy this book very much. ||
 * Max R. || Eyes of the Emperor || Graham Salisbury || 4 || Eyes of the Emperor was a great historical fiction book. It was a good World War II novel and had some good action in it. At the end, I could tell that the theme of the book was that you shouldn't judge someone by their race; they are the same as you are but in different colors. Overall, I thought it was a good book. ||
 * Everett S. || Aleutian Sparrow || Karen Hesse || 2 || In my opinion this book was not good at all. It was hard to keep up with and the names were just to complecated. One thing that i did not like about this book was that it was mostly about war. That was something i could keep up with in the book, also I knew that these children were neighbors and they liked to plat baseball. They could not play baseball when there parents found out because one of them were japenese. It was very sad and I did not like this book. I do not recomend this to other people. ||
 * John S. || Bass Reeves || Gary Pualsen ||  ||   ||
 * Thomas S. || Macaroni Boy || Katherine Ayres || 4 || **//__Macaroni Boy__//** is very interesting because it takes place during the great depression. The point of view is from a boy who is very smart and knows what he is talking about. The boy also has many friends and a couple of foes and he has a hard time staying out of trouble at school. ||
 * Jack T. || A Sailor Returns || Theodore Taylor || 3 || __The story A Sailor Returns__ was a pretty good book. I think that the grandfather came back to early on the book. Instead of him coming at like page 32 I would have want him at page 60 to get more background research. I think the book was hard to understand and keep track of at the heart of the story. If you do understand it I thing it is very interesting. ||
 * Isaac V. || The White Rider || Chris Priestly || 4 || This story was interesting and it takes place in an interesting place. It was hard to understand what they were talking about at times. It does teach you a bit about England and what it was like there during this specific time. Overall, it was a good book. ||
 * John W. || The Shakespeare Stealer || Gary Blackwood ||  ||   ||
