Mouseheart

Mouseheart

By Lisa Fiedler

Mouseheart is the tale of a brave young mouse and an explored world. Hopper's mom disappeared and now all he has left is his sister, Pinkie, and his little brother, Pup. But when he is forced into the world of the rats and then stolen to the world of the mice, he has to decide....who is telling the truth? What is hidden in the refugee camps? And how is he the "Chosen One?" I loved Mouseheart. I thought "Listen up, you, you don't usually read books told by mice!" but I decided to give it a go because my aunts recommended it to me, and it was worth it! I would give this book six out of five, but since there's only five stars, I'll have to go with a full 100% awesomeness rating! -- BKS reviews

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, Book 1)

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, Book 1)

By Pittacus Lore

"I am Number Four" is an action packed thrill ride that keeps you on the edge of you're seat at all times! I had watched the movie, so I decided that I wanted to read the book. And man, this is one of my favorite books I've ever read. It connects with the reader, and drags them into the world of Number Four and the Lorics. You begin to understand Four's situation, and why he's on Earth running from the Mogodorians. While he's on Earth, he starts to make new friends, such as Sarah and Sam. As John (Four) starts school, he comes in conflict with the school bully, Mark James. Mark gives John a hard time while he's at school, until he goes to far. John had it, so he told Mark to never cross him or his friends ever again. Near the end of the book, Mark, along with Sarah and Sam, discover John's ability. They decide to help him out, and they eventually meet number six, who helps them with their fight against the evil Mogodorians. After all, this book is amazing, and I couldn't put it down. It was absolutely Incredible in every way. I totally recommend this book to whoever's looking for a good friend.

This asome book is about Duncan. Duncan is having a problem with his crayons. Each crayon writes a letter to Duncan. We enjoyed this book because it's hilarious!

Also, we like the part when orange and yellow crayons are having an argument because it is funny! We think you should read this book because it will make you laugh.The Day the Crayons Quit is an amazing and radical book for kids of all ages! 3 Reply

The Samurai's Tale

The Samurai's Tale

By Erik Christian Haugaard

Yesh Godse

The Samurai's Tale is a deep, absorbing story about an interesting Samurai's youth. This mesmerizing tale of a boy who loses his father describes in great detail the troubles of a feudal warrior society and the different levels of poverty in Japan. The book was written as if you were there with the main character, Taro (who later becomes Murakami Harutomo), watching his life unfolds in the true detail. The foreign, but educated author behind it all, Erik Christian Haugaard, became a popular author renowned for children’s books after the release of The Samurai's Tale clearly expressing the various fans he got from writing the book. Now days, even after his death in 2009, people wonder how he conjured so much detail without any personal experience of Feudal Japan. One could describe it as Margaret Mitchell writing Gone with the Wind without any upbringing in a southern state. Like Gone with the Wind and many other detailed books, The Samurai's Tale is certainly a masterpiece with few other novels close to its level of superiority. The Samurai's Tale is set in Kai, an area in the middle of the Japanese Island Honshu, during the Japanese Onin War. It opens with a very young boy who learns of his father’s death and is captured by Lord Akiyama Nobutora to work in the servant kitchen of the castle. He is renamed Taro and worked as a helper to the head chef, Togan, who he later got a deep friendship with. When Togan suddenly dies, Lord Akiyama Nobutora moves him to the stables where he learns the way of the horse and asserts his superiority over the other kids. While working in the stables, he gained lots of love in Lord Akiyama Nobutora's heart by doing special, secret missions for him and Lord Takeda Shingen. He is moved to work alongside Lord Akiyama, Lord Akiyama Nobutora's son and he gets a new name: Murakami Harutomo. There, he helps Lord Akiyama seize Iwamura Castle from Lord Takeda Shingen’s enemy, Lord Oda Nobunaga. There, he falls in love with a girl named Aki-hime, the daughter of one of Lord Akiyama's officers. He and Aki-hime write poems to each other to express each other’s love. Meanwhile, Lord Takeda Shingen dies of old age and disease. His son, the Wakatono (Prince), takes over and makes ruthless decisions that secure the downfall of Lord Takeda Shingen’s campaign, including Lord Akiyama. Later, Murakami Harutomo marries Aki-hime and they both settle away from Iwamura where their masters were dishonored. This spells the end of Murakami Harutomo's childhood and as the book says, "In the raging fire of the world, there is no peace." Yet that is not altogether true, for in the love between two human beings that fire can be quenched and peace may be found. (234). In my opinion of this story, the author, Erik Christian Haugaard, is trying to convey to the readers how it is like to be in Japan and serve under a powerful Lord with your own other responsibilities going on. In The Samurai's Tale, this is shown with Taro being a messenger for Lord Akiyama, helping with the rice and rations for the army with Wada Kansuke, and writing poems and meeting with his love and lover, Aki-hime. This shows the feudalism between a vassal and his Lord while doing his own things and to a certain extent, the book describes the free time of the young samurai. Another aspect demonstrated in The Samurai's Tale which I had not realized before was the role of nature and poetry represented even in the common talk to two Samurai. In the book, Taro writes multiple poems to himself and later writes them to Aki-hime winning her love; as he matured throughout the book, he also mimicked the wiser, older Samurai using analogies mostly representing nature to prove points in what he was saying. An example of this style of speaking and thinking would be, Lord Zakoji wanted Lord Katsuyori to make peace with Oda and Tokugawa and to give up the thought of being ruler of Japan, leaving such dreams to others. But dreams are strong as iron. They say that a wild horse can be tied to a spider web; certain it is that a man can be tied by a dream. Overall, I liked this story because of the well-developed plot, realistic and detailed context, wise sayings and poems that reeled me into a deeper meaning of the book, and the awesome combination of drama, adventure, and action all creating a well-written book. Erik Christian Haugaard has concocted this master peace with all of these qualities and many fans of his works including new ones like me have accepted it with open arms.
