Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson Reviewed by Vikki V on 01/28/12
You probably don't know me very well and I must say, I LOVE books and am constantly reading them and will throw down a book in disgust if my favorite character in a book dies\gets hurt. So it is hard for me to choose a favorite book. This IS my favorite book that I have been looking for all these years. It is very engaging and even though I read it almost a year ago now, I still remember every detail. This book will stick in your mind. The plot is incredible and as a junior author myself, I must personally congratulate Mrs. Anderson, she is a wonderful writer using the most spendid of details while keeping us stuck to the book, thinking, "What's going to happen next?!?" Not only is there a beautiful story hidden from cover to cover, but we are learning about yello fever in 1793, an epidemic we have forgotten and must be reminded of, which Laurie does a great job doing. I am warning you: once you pick up this book, you shall be carried back 300 years and find yourself calling you "Mattie", the main character in this enchanting book, who finds her and everything that matters sick, and encounters death knocking at the door, sorrow, and hope. Someone, someone that I don't know the name of, is commanding you to read this book, open your eyes and imagine. And to not put it down until your finished, which I had no trouble obeying. I hope you like this book as much as I do! Until I read another great book, Vikki Vonde A.K.A. Mattie :) Grades 3 - 4 |

Hello, Robots by Bob Staake Reviewed by MB on 01/28/12 My 3 1/2 yr old son made me read this book to him several times. He is really into robots. The book is about 4 robots. Each of the robots has specific type of tasks it undertakes. One cooks, one fixes things, one cleans the yard and one cleans the house. All is well until they get caught in a storm and malfunction. The robots figure out how to fix themselves and resume their wonderful life of doing their chores. We wish we had these 4 robots helping us at home. Pre-K - K |
