K. Rowling. The book is about Harry Potter, and his fight against the dark wizard Voldemort. Harry and his friends had to be able to defend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from Voldemort and his dark wizards. I’ve rated this book 4/5.

The story captures the image of the Nazi’s might very well, and shows the horror they inflicted upon France. I rate this book 4/5.

However, his mother dies, leaving him to an orphanage. At the orphanage, James meets Kyle, who is secretly recruiting for CHERUB, the child version of MI5, the secret intelligence of Britain. James is recruited into CHERUB before being sent on a mission. I think this book deserves 3.5/5.

The setting is in a world seperate from ours, into which Jason (the main character) is transported. This world is ruled by an evil wizard, who can be defeated only by mentioning a destructive word in front of him. Jason must learn this word to save this world before they enter the beyond (our world). I decided to rate this book 4.5/5.

The story is set in Poland, when the second world war borke out. The story follows the life of Misha, a young boy, as he lives with a Jewish family. The book captures the horrors of the Nazi’s as they capture Europe and treat people like animals. I liked how there are no lies in this book, only the truth about what really heppened. Overall, the book was a very good read, and I rate 4/5.

This is a true story of a school bus hijacking and kidnaping in California.

I liked the kidnapping chapters, but 2 of 3 were mostly somewhat boring.

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good read.
