The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane

The Red Badge of Courage displays the point of view of a young boy who wanted to join in on the battles that had occurred during the Civil War. It takes the reader through the mind of many of those who fought. It takes you through the real life of a soldier. A life filled with contradictions and distrust among the allies. But when it comes time for war with the enemy, all grudges are lifted and unity is formed. Rating: 4 out of 5

Rosa Parks: My Story by Rosa Parks

I read Rosa Parks: My Story. I really liked the book a lot. I learned about her life. The most interesting part was when she was arrested. Even more interesting was that I got to sit in the same bus as Rosa Parks sat in at the Henry Ford Museum. I am really glad I got to read the book.

The Dragon Princess by E. D. Baker

The Dragon Princess was so amazing and magical. This book is perfect for somebody who loves magic and suspense. I love how the author used many mythical creatures in addition to the main characters dragon, wizard, bat, and troll. It is always fun to read behind the eyes of a princess. Princess Millie is no ordinary princess though, when she gets really angry she turns into a hideous green scaly dragon. Rating: 4 out of 5

Revenge of the Wannabes by Lisi Harrison

The Clique series is a great series for sixth and seventh graders. Revenge of the Wannabes is the third book in the series. In Revenge of the Wannabes I liked how it kept you waiting till the end to let you know if Massie and Alicia would be friends again. This reminds me of how a mystery book would make you wait to the end for the solutions. It's a great read. Rating: 5 out of 5
