I am currently reading Jacob's Rescue. It is a very moving story and it brings out the true meaning of heroism. A true hero doesn't have to be an athlete or a celebrity, it can just be a person that is trying to stop the wrong and do the right. This book showed me that anyone can be a true hero. I would defiantly recommend this to others, because I think everyone should know what it means to be a hero. Of course, maybe all of us can't do something as dramatic like the characters in my book did (read to find out), but we can all do small things that can really help the others around us. I realized this while I was reading, and I recommend this book to others so that they can have the same feeling as I did- the feeling that if someone as ordinary as the characters in the book can do something amazing, I can also do something to help others. Okay, bye!

I'm currently reading Daniel's story. And I would definately recommend this book to any living thing. The brave boy Daniel learns to transition to his surroundings taking risks and keeping his family and friends dear to his heart as he finds ways to try and survive. This is a really good book that I enjoy a lot. Bye!

I read 'The Devil's Arithmetic'. I found this book very interesting to read. I would totally recommend this book to others! Like all of the other books, this one does have some sad parts. It is different than the other books, though. The main character travelled back in time to World War II. I found it a little short, but none of the other books are that long, either.

I was reading Jesper! It was FANTASTIC I loved it! I would definetly recommend this to other people it was full of action and had a little bit of romance in it. I finished the book today and I really want to spoil the book but I know I can't. I was kind of on the edge of my seat at some points wondering what would happen to Jesper. Some parts are sad but it was still a great book!

I read and finished 'Number The Stars' and it was so good! I loved making connection and asking questions. Of course I would recommend this book to others! I liked how the point of view was from a person who was not Jewish, but from a friend of a Jew. I liked this because of all the brave and thoughtful things she dose to protect her friend and family. There is a lot more to say! The main character is progressing and you can see it just by the words that the author uses! It is such a fantastic book! No fantastic is an understatement! The book was incredible!

I'm currently reading the book 'Jesper' and it is so cool. My thoughts would probably be that I can't believe what people used to do in the war. I love making connections because it makes me understand better. I would recommend it to others because there are some really cool parts on what they did to the German cars and how they bombed them!

I am reading number the stars. My thoughts are I can't believe what's happening in the book. I would recommend "number the stars" to the girls, because it's pretty much a girl book.

I am reading the boy in the striped pajamas, and it is getting very interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next. I would absolutely recommend it to others because it leaves you on cliff hangers in almost every chapter and makes you want to keep on reading, but is also very sad.

I am reading The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas and my thoughts for this book is a must read! Everything about it is so good its one of those books you just want to keep reading. If you get attached to characters easily than be prepared to cry your own Niagara Falls because the ending is extremely tragic and SO sad. I would totally recommend this book because it gets you thinking about your life and the main characters life compared to the Jews.

I am currently reading Jesper. The book is very intense because it is not a slow moving book it is very fast so it can fit a lot in it. Yes, I would defiantly recommend this book because you get attached to the character and start to feel his emotions around others. Even thought the book jumps from the past, the present and the future it is still a very cliffhanging book. See you all soon! :D

I was reading Jacob's rescue that time. I think it is a awsome book! I definietly recommend to others. Lucky for you if you get this book for #2 book! It is because it shows that the main character, which is Jacob, had a really hard time in that time. This book is about Jacob who is one of the Jewish people survived with a family's help who Jacob doesn't know. It was so touching when they survived and met each other few years later. Oops, I think I told you about the main part. Anyway, it's such a great book. I think this book has to be on my great-book-I've-ever-read-list.
