Breadcrumbs
By Anne Ursu
Warning! This review contains spoilers! Hazel and Jack are best friends. But Jack starts acting weird, and ditches Hazel. Hazel is absolutely devastated. Then Jack goes missing, and Hazel sets out to find him. What I thought of it: I didn't get it. Hazel was just annoying. She was always complaining. She completely overreacted when Jack started being "mean" to her. She was really dependent on Jack, and I found that slightly creepy. I couldn't bring myself to really like her even a little bit. Hazel's mom was annoying too. She tried to shove Hazel into a friendship with some girl, and Hazel just went along with it. She didn't really seem concerned at all when Hazel was complaining about Jack's weird behavior. She basically just saw it as a chance for Hazel to just forget about him and make friends that are girls. The writing style was awful. It was very descriptive, and that got really old really fast. The author used a lot of metaphors that didn't really make sense. It was extremely annoying. The only 2 characters that I actually liked were Jack and that girls uncle. Jack seemed like a really cool guy. Hazel really didn't deserve him. The uncle was really awesome. I didn't understand how Jack's parents thought that he was visiting his aunt. Were they under a spell? It was extremely boring. The first part seemed like Realistic fiction, but the second part seemed like Fantasy. That really annoyed me. Hazel's trip through the woods was boring, and it seems like it would never end. She meets a lot of people, and none of them turn out to be how she thought they'd be. The moral of the story seemed to be that you can't REALLY be friends with someone of the opposite gender without complications, and that it's better to stick with friends that are the same gender because if you have a friend of the opposite gender it's inevitable that you'll drift apart. I thought that was down right stupid. I could barely finish reading this, and I thought about stopping and never finishing it because I didn't really care how it ended. I had high hopes for this book. I read a lot of reviews praising it for how wonderful it was. I honestly don't know why everyone loves this book, and thinks it's so beautiful. Overall I hated it. This one of the worst books I've read in a while. Which is why I had to review. I need to save people. There was one girl who I told how much I hated it and she said she wouldn't read it. Everyone who didn't like this book, review. We could be the superheroes of literature.

Ashes
By Kathryn Lasky
"In wartime, nothing is safe" In Berlin, 1932, Thirteen-year- old Gabriella Schramm lived a happy and privileged life. As Hitler rises to power, everything suddenly became quite unreal as though nothing could have any consequences. People who were once trustworthy are now Nazis. Gaby and her best friend Rosa seemed to realize the transformations of their lives and the agonies of their country during the rise of Hitler. To face the reality, Gaby turns to the comfort of her books, but suddenly those are in grave danger of disappearing as well. To Gaby, holding on to the one thing she loved the most was never so hard. "I could still see Berlin faintly, its buildings rising like a scratchy calligraphy, words in a sentence strung across a page. A page I couldn't quite read" Through a young women, Kathryn Lasky describes a personal and political history that will haunt readers. I would give this book a 101/100 if you ask me to rate it. Reading this book, I imagine myself as Gaby. I smelled the ashes she smelled and I felt my own eyes stinging as Gaby saw the sea of brown uniforms. I really enjoy this page-turning book because every word from this book affected me deeply. I recommend this book to all ages and genders because Gaby's gripping story will haunt everyone.

The Red Badge of Courage (Classic Starts)
By Stephen Crane
I recommend this book for teens, it has a lot of big words kids wouldn’t understand. I enjoyed it, it had a good plot but the conflict was a bit strange for a book about war. It has some sad moments but it turned into a happy ending.
Blades of Freedom (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #10): A Louisiana Purchase Tale
By Nathan Hale
What a good book! Nathan Hale is telling another tale now, and this one is about the Louisiana Purchase. There were lots of slaves in Haiti. Napoleon is in the French Army and government now. You learn about the Haitian Revolution, enslaves people, and, of course the Louisiana Purchase! This graphic novel ties history, some humor, and everything in between. My favorite character was probably Hangman! I really liked how funny he was, and I kept on cracking up because of him. Warning: this book contains slavery, so you may want to talk to a trusted adult after reading, Happy reading!
Theodore Boone: the Fugitive
By John Grisham
anthua
Theodore Boone: The Fugitive is the 5th (and possibly the last) book in the amazing Theodore Boone series by John Grisham. It stars a boy named Theodore Boone, who is 13. Both his parents are lawyers, and this makes Theodore want to be one too. (Spoiler Alert if you haven’t read the first book) This book is mostly about Theodore tracking down the major antagonist of the first book (and debatably the whole series) and then proving him wrong in a court of law. I feel like this book is written well and is a page-turner, although not as much as the other books. I say this because this book does have its dull moments. In particular the end of this, which I’m not going to spoil, isn’t really that interesting, nor is it that climatic. In my opinion, this is something that the other books were good at, and I hope the next book (if there is another one) will improve in this aspect. Other than that, I feel that Theodore Boone: The Fugitive is a pretty good book, full of excitement and interesting facts on lawyers. This book gets a 4 out of 5 stars from me.
