    I really like the Hatchet because it is a action packed book that puts the main character through many interesting and exciting problems. This story is about how a thirteen-year-old boy survives in the wilderness with nothing but a hatchet after a plane crash. The book is full of action due to all the dangers and problems he faces in the wilderness. For example, how he used his hatchet to make tools to help him hunt, build a shelter, dangerous situations with wild animals, and how he tries to get help from the outside. I think all these situations he encounters are very real, and it is easy to put myself in the story. The only problem I have with this book is that the character focuses too much on surviving in the wild instead of trying to escape or get help. If i were him, I would have made more rescue signals like making a fire. I recommend this book to people who like adventures in the wilderness.

    The outsiders is a very interesting novel because there are many unique characters with their own symbols, personalities, and characteristics. This story is about Ponyboy, a fourteen-year-old boy from a poor family, and he and his friends’ conflict and interaction with the upper class children. Many characters are described in a lot of detail and have their own personalities. I can relate to the characters in the novel because everyone is unique even though they have similar family backgrounds. This is how I see my family and friends. Even though we have similar background, we have different personalities and interest. My favorite aspect of the book is how Ponyboy and his friends help each other no matter how serious the consequences may be. This tell me a good friend can help you when you have problems. I recommend this book to people who likes stories with realistic characters and how they interact with each other.

    This book is very accurate because all the information in the book was very well researched and the story is very correct in pointing out the time. I also like how the author did a very good job to make the story exciting. In 1943, during World War II, it was a really serious time in Europe when the country was under German control and the Nazis have just invaded Denmark. Since Ellen and her family are Jewish, they have to get away from Denmark. This book talks about true courage; you know something is dangerous, but you overcome your fear and worries and still do it. My favorite part of the book is the dialogue of the characters because it makes story more vivid. For example, when the Annemarie is talking about Resistance fighters, the Danish people who stood up to the Nazis. I will recommend this book to age about 10 years old boys and girls, because it teaches them to be brave and also a little history of World War II.

    The book is exciting and is very easy to understand and hard to put down. The fast pace of story drew me on, and it used simple language so it is easier to read through the story. Stormbreaker is an action-packed adventure about a 14 years old spy named Alex. He is drawn into a world of secrets and spies, dangerous missions, and death. If I were the main character, I would be l very afraid to do the missions because the missions always in dangerous places with bad people and related to the death. I admire his courage and it reminds me that if I want to accomplish something, i need to have courage. Alex’s focus and determination to solve the problems to save the world is something that relates to me. For example, when I am doing an important project, I should have determination and be very focused on the project in order to complete it well. This tells me determination and focus is very important to everything. I recommend this book to people who are action-adventure fans.
