Very informative, interesting read! Krull gives the reader interesting tidbits of information about one of our greatest president's wonderful sense of humor. We did not prefer the illustration style, but the content more than made up for that.

I love the I survived series. I like that they base on a true event.

I like the horsey!

Ooh so good! I've never read about horseman before so I was intrigued. What I didn't like is the fact at the end after months of being apart he comes back to her and said he has served his purpose it was to vague

I came across this book on the shelf as part of one the librarian's displays for Black history month. There is a television show by the same name, which I hadn't realized was based on this novel. This was a captivating and emotional story. Whitehead masterfully depicts the underground railroad as a literal locomotive rumbling beneath the southern states with the purpose of capitalizing on the premise that "all men are created equal." Although it's a noble intention, it's a criminal enterprise in light of the Fugitive Slave Act. Those who ride it's rails endure peril after peril. The central character is Cora, a passenger on the train whom we ride along with as she seeks her freedom. We also hear the stories of Cora's mother, another escapee, and grandmother, who was stolen from Africa. I would definitely recommend this one. Whitehead wrote in such a way where even though it's a creative historical take, he preserves the plight and struggle of African Americans. It's an important perspective, because it's ignorant to pretend that over a century of injustice, bondage, and disenfranchisement wouldn't leave it's footprint on the African American community to this day.

It was like mini comics in one book ??

So I like when Tommy and his family on the slime ride.

This is an excellent start to a new series by Tana French. The two main characters: mysterious teenager Trey Reddy and retired, emotionally scared Cal Hooper are especially appealing. At first Cal doesn't know what to make of Trey. He isn't even certain if she is male or female. She dresses in androgenous clothes and reveals nothing about her life. All he knows is Trey is persistent. Once she learns he was a detective, she is determined to enlist Cal's help in finding her beloved older brother, one of the few people in Trey's life who has shown her kindness. The novel shows the insularity of rural Irish life where villagers close ranks even when something very bad has occurred. This is a wonderful mystery which slowly develops the friendship and trust between Trey, whose home life is blighted by a mother who can barely cope and an absent, ner'do-well father. The ending and the reasons for the "murder" are beyond tragic. The prose is poetic and fitting for the lyricism of the Irish countryside.

This is a great book for children to read. Especially for readers who are beginners.
