Amelia's War 12 reviews Ann Rinaldi
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2002
Vidya's Book Review
+ A MUST READ BOOK!!!!! + Amelia's War
Tears came to my eyes. I didn't want to leave him here like this, with this evil man who had eyes that could fry you. It wasn't fair that the whole burden of things should be on my father. People had talked about money making in the war and insulted Mama about it. Where were those people now? ...

Four Major Plays: Volume 2 Ghosts An Enemy People The Lady from Sea John Gabriel Borkman (Ibsen) 4 reviews Henrik Ibsen
Signet Classics, 1970
great plays from a great author
+ Excellent - must read! + An Enemy of the People--an astute examination of politics
I first picked up a copy of Ibsen while searching through my parents' bookshelf for something to read; after zipping through 'A Doll House' I knew I was hooked. All of Ibsen's (late) plays are amazing in that they adhere to a strict structure - always set in Norway (even though Ibsen lived all ...

Great Book
+ GREAT FIRST BOOK OF CA DIARIES!!! + Dawn Schafer meets Ducky & Amalia
This is a good book I've read it twice. I like how Ann used handwriting in this book instead of type it was great! It was like a real diary. Dawn mostly writes about changing buildings at school, her family and her california friends. What I didn't like about this book is that Dawn never mentioned ...

Loved it 9 years ago, love it today!!!
+ Not a Favorite. + Colonial American Burgondy Quetzal
I first read this book when I was in 3rd grade. It was the first real novel I read and it got me addicted to historical fiction! A Ride into Morning is just as exciting every time you read it. Ann Rinaldi does a fantastic job of grabbing the reader from the very beggining. Mary is a believable ...

Project Princess (The Princess Diaries, Vol. 4 1/2) 58 reviews Meg Cabot
HarperTeen, 2003
Project Princess
+ the selfless and selfish princess
This book was okay. Very short, easy to read. It covers what Mia is doing on her spring break and how she has a hard time adapting to the wilderness because she is a city girl.
But I think she's gotta get used to it, if she wants to save the whales or whatever.
But it's only fifty pages, and you ...
