An ocean Apart review

An ocean apart by Gillian Chan.
time period: 1922
genre: diary

Gillian Chan makes it like your walking in china town Vancouver. You can almost taste the food and feel what they are feeling. This Diary is very well written.

Whispers of War: The dairy of Susanna Merritt review

Whispers of War the diary of Susanna Merritt by Kit Pearson.
time period: 1812
genre: diary

I don't usally like reading diarys of girls but when I found the dear Canada series, I loved them!

Kit Pearson brings to life the 1812 life through her book. It makes you under stand the war of 1812 more then history books and what the people thought midst of the war and before it and what their life was like. I really liked the Susanna;s older brother.

Sophie Scholl and the white rose review

By Jud Newborn and Annette Dumbach
I had to interlibrary loan this book but it was worth the wait. I had heard of Sophie and Hans Scholl in the book that Toby mac wrote: City on our knees.

Sophie and Hans scholl were living in Germany in world war 2, when Hitlers youth were everywhere. Hans and Sophie created what was called: The white rose, they rebelled against Hitler, and they distributed papers that what Hitler was doing wrong. But one time, the white rose were found out and were killed by the gullition, the cool thing is, they where ready to die because they where Christians.

its a cool story! I totally suggest it!

Grinding it out Review

Ray Kroc is the owner of mc.donalds. and I was tickled pink to hear he wrote a book about it.
so I read it. I had to interlibrary loan it.

When Ray Kroc saw mc.donalds, he was thrilled by it, and in his mind he saw mc.donalds dotting the country. so he talked to the mc.donalds brothers and he bought the contract. from then on, he made new things to mc.donalds, like apple pies, shakes and fish filets.

I really liked it, ecspecally the pictures of him and the classic mc.donalds.
stars: 4
age suggestion: all mc.donalds fans

I am a soldier too review

This book made me feel patrotic, ( being half American) and I was awed  at this story. I got it from the library, seeing the title it peaked my interest.

Jessica lynch wanted to serve her country, so she joined the army. She also got a very good friend, Lori and they shared fun times with each other. but then, in Iraq  she was taken as a POW ( prisoner of war), broken bones, she was terrified. at home her family was distraught. the town worked together to comfort the family and what ever religion they had, they prayed. Jessica lynch later was rescued by an American soldier and everyone thought of her as a hero. she said," I couldn't understand it, everyone thought I was a hero, but I  am a survivor, when I think about it, it makes me scared," or something like that.  I loved the part where the soldier came to rescue Jessica.

Warning: this Is a story of a POW.
