This story takes place in North America during the French and Indian War and follows the journey of a scout named Hawkeye and the daughters of General Munro, Cora and Alice. Hawkeye is traveling with a party of two Native Americans, Chingachgook and his son Uncas. They are the last surviving members of the Mohican tribe. Their lives are put in even more danger when Cora and Alice are kidnapped by the deceiving Huron, Magua. It’s now up to Hawkeye and his allies to save the two before it’s too late.

Awesome! Although this book was written over a hundred years ago, it is definitely a book that I couldn’t put down. A few words and phrases made it a bit difficult to understand, but the reader will get used to it. The plot was in such an unusual setting too; it just really interested me. The pictures in the book were so colorful and vivid. It gives the reader a clear picture of the setting. For those who love great adventures and heroes, this book is for you! [Wild Pancake]

A girl named Minli wanted to meet a man called The Old Man of the Moon to ask how to change her family’s poor fortune. On her way to Never Ending Mountain where he lives, she meets some good friends and a flightless dragon, too.

I loved this book. Maybe it’s my new favorite. It’s filled with great details. Once you start to read, you can’t stop – you just want to know what happens next! The dragon wants to learn how to fly and Minli wants to change her parents’ poor fortune. When she found the Old Man of the Moon, she could only ask one question [Joyful 44B]

Spud

This is a coming of age story featuring the witty hero John “Spud” Milton. He’s attending an elite private school in South Africa, around the same time that Nelson Mandela is released from prison. It’s chaos, alright, and Spud can’t be more than happy to leave it all behind. However, instead of leaving the chaos, Spud seems to jump right in the middle of it!

This book is filled with all kinds of humor, and I guarantee it will make you laugh. You will probably get weird looks from your parents for laughing. [Wild Pancake]

During the ninth century, a girl named Eveningstar Mccaw must save her city from the evil influence of the HIgh Priest, Great Skull Zero. The High Priest has gone against the will of the gods, sacrificing his people and Eveningstar’s kind brother, Smoke Shell. It is up to Eveningstar to save her city from Great Skull Zero’s evil wrath.

This book was AMAZING! It took me forever to put it down. How could I with all of the dramatic twists, turns, and even pictures?! I’d suggest this book to anyone who wants a new kind of adventure in a somewhat unusual setting. The ending surprised me a little. The sneaky twists put in here and there really made it a good book.

Finding My Place

The main character in the book is a girl named Tiphanie. Everybody says her name wrong. Her dad and mom move because they want Tiphanie to have a better educational experience. I really liked the book because it explains what really happens when you switch to a new school. There were also some funny parts in the story, like on her first day of school. She got bumped into, called names, and talked about because she was African American and new. [I Love JS!]

Mismatch

This is about a girl in the Lakeview High School orchestra. She does not make friends easily. She only makes friends with people who love music.

I like this book because she relates to my life. She’s a girl who is trying to be friends with people. [Love-smith28]
