Uncle Tom's cabin is about slavery in the south. The Shelbys have debt to pay and they are a very weathly nice to their slaves. but they have debt. so one day a slave trader comes. Mr. Shelby sells Uncle Tom and a small boy; Eliza's boy. Eliza over hears and she takes the boy and escapes. George ( her husband) escapes too. Tom is sold to the mean slave owner.

Mozart's sister review

Mozart's sister by Nancy Moser
genre: historical fiction
time: 1700's
stars: 5


I had seen this book in a book catalog when I was younger, I had cut the ad out and put it away because I really wanted to read that book. then the last day I found it and looked it up on Amazon.com, read the reviews. and I was really happy to find out that my library had it. So I got it and read  it.


Mozart's sister Nannerl is a really good panio player, her brother Wolfie is a good one too. they perform together and Nannerl is jealous of her brother because he's a boy and she's a girl and that means she isn't going to be aloud to persue music when she grows older and make it her career.

I really liked it! it made you go back in time to Mozart's time. and it told of his sister.  and what the author persieved his Sister did.

there is a bit of romance in it, but its light romance.

do I suggest it? yes totally.

the lost prince review

Frances Hodgson Burnett

this is not related..

this post is not book review related..

I just saw on this blog: http://the356daychallenge.blogspot.com/

that the challange was

can corduroy go to buildabear workshop?

I don't know if you read the books, I have and I loved them!

( thats the book I liked)

and her challange was that we would spread the word about getting corduroy to buildabear workshop and write to Maxine Clark telling her that they should make him into a furry friend.

and if she'd get a lot of letters saying that they should make Corduroy they would catch on and maybe consider it!

that would be so cool! so do your part!

I will cross the river review

I'll cross the river
by C. Hope Flinchbaugh
genre: fiction
time: 21st century
stars: 3
whats it about: ( amazon's review)
Lay still pretend you are dead, Young Soon told her trembling young son as she lay, bleeding, on the ground, and nestling her nursing baby closer. How could the daily messages blaring from the loud speakers be wrong? Loyal communists believe government announcements that North Korea is the only country prospering, as the rest of the world is depressed and starving. Was it all a lie? After reading a smuggled newspaper article about life beyond North Korea, widowed and pregnant Young Soon is determined to flee her beloved country with her son and baby to find food and safety in neighboring China...across the river. Near the riverbank and above the guardhouse looms a great red dragon. Its tail sweeps back and forth across the river and smaller evil-looking creatures scurry beneath it. Far above the red dragon, Heaven s warriors, dressed in white, charge courageously. The dragon seems distracted, but not defeated. What s to become of Young Soon and her children? Miles away in China, Mei Lin has a heart-pounding dream about a baby crying out to her from murky waters. Who is this baby? How will she find him? I ll Cross the River is a true-to-life novel that depicts the incredible human tragedy occurring today inside North Korea. The prayers of many bring two families together in a story you will never forget

What I thought:

I was disapointed by this book. I did see that the author wanted to get it clear to her readers that North Korea was a closed in country, but it seemed like only half the book was about that while Mei lin was a missionary in China having a dream about a baby that she prayed for.

the cover was the thing that caught my eye.
