Fifth Grade Book Talk

This book is about a boy named Zack and he was black so he didn’t have that many friends because he was different from the other kids. So they treated him bad because he was black. At the end Zack and John became friends because they learn you can make friends with others even if they are different from you.

I recommend this book to a person that likes realistic fiction because it helps us learn how to make friends.

I liked this book because Zack and John were enemies and finally became friends.

This is a biography about Martin’s life like from his child hood, to teenager, to adult hood, and finally to death. For example, Martin’s childhood was complicated because of racism. Martin’s teenage years were confusing because their was no people Martin’s age  and no people that understood Martin because Martin went to college to early. Now Martin’s adult hood was scary because when he was trying to get blacks and whites to reunite together their were people who threatened him. And finally Martin’s death was devastating because some white guy shot Martin and people saw when Martin died.  This book was all about Martin’s life and how great of a person he was.

What I liked about this book was when Martin led the march in Boston they did that to show the white people that they wanted equal rights and because they didnt let people get in their ways too.

A person that likes history should read this book because this book talks about back then and what happened.

this book is so great. imagine being a child of posiedon and your best friend is missing so you have to go save them. this book is filled with action and suspense! i just finished it now i am reading Percy Jackson and The Titan’s Curse!

This book gives facts about the Amazon rain forest. For example, the Amazon river streches over 4,000 miles from the mountain of Peru and Brazil,to the Atlantic ocean. The story is about Jack and Annie and their pet Peanut . They discover that  the tree house belongs to Morgan Le Fay. She is under a spell. Then Morgan needed 4 special things.  Annie and Jack already  got one of the special things. Now  they are on the second  special thing that leads them to the rain forest. They are an other adventure to free Morgan.

 I like this book because the tree is magic and it can take them  places if they point to a picture in a book.

 I think the nature lady should read this book because she can learn more about nature when she reads this book. I think those who likes jungles should read this book because they can get some information on monkeys ,alligators and army ants that live in the Amazon rainforest.

This book is about Wilbur Wright and his brother Orvile on there journey to create the perfect glider to be a  succesful inventor.

I liked that when they failed that they didn’t give up,because it always teaches you to always try again.

We recomend this book to someone who is really determined to do something and think they can’t accomplish anything, but they learn to never give up and succeed their goal.

The summary of the book frindle was obout Nick Allen invents the word Frindle and and people all over the country start using Nicks word. Nick got the idea when Mrs.Granger told him how words are created and thats how he got the idea. Then people started using the word Frindle. 10 years later Nicks word gets published in the new dictionary.

The thing I like about this book is it was funny because it said nick was having a battle against Mrs. Granger. I also think its funny because in the school if the teachers heard a student say frindle the teachers would make you stay after school and the students said the word on purpose.

I think  Erik,Angel, Luis G,and Jessie H should read this book because they like humor. I also think my brother should read this book because he also likes books with humor.

The  book And Then What Happened Paul Revere is about the different facts that no one ever new. For example that Paul Revere was a dentist. Paul Revere had 16 kids! Also, Paul Revere was chosen to go to Lexington and Concord and save his 2 amigos John Handcock and Samuel Adams.

  I like this  book because I  never know alot of Paul revere and most of his life. I like this book when it tells you what happens next in each page because its interesting and cool.

I recomend this book to people that love history like me because you get to learn somthing about Paul Revere. I recomend this book to my mom because she loves history and she cant stop till shes done with this history book.

This book is about Justins belt that has been stolen by Tonya. At first Justin is having alot of problems with Charlene. So he thinks Charlene took the belt, Charlene wanted to wash it not still it. Later on we find out tonya lied she stole Justins belt because Tonya was wearing the belt in a karate class. Charlene solved the mystery of the missing belt.

We liked when Justin tried his best with out his belt.  We also liked when there were talking in chinies because it is part of Asia.  A part of the last reason that Tonya,Chip,Charlene and Justin said we will be friends for ever.

We recommend that people who like mysteries should read this book.  Also, anyone taking karate class should read this book.

The book Five Smooth Stones:Hopes Revolutionary War Diary is about Hope and she is in the times when the revolutionary war was on. Hope is writing a diary of what is hppening in her life. She has to face to many things for example Hopes brother sneaked out his house to look for his father and was captured by the red coats(British)thinking he is a spy and is now kept prisoner. When the British came to Pennsylvania. Hope and her mother plus her baby sister has to go to a safe place so they would not get killed by the British.

I like this book because it tells you what happens in the year 1776.  You can  feel like your in that time and what they had to face by that time, how they felt about this times of 1776. I like this book because this book tells you about Hopes life during the revolutionary war.

I recomend  this book to peaple that are interested and love history. This book was  based on a true story. It takes place in  the year 1776 when the revoluutinay war was on. I recomend this book to my mom because she loves historical fiction books and she likes to read about history from what happened.

The summary is about Abraham Lincoln what he did and about his life. For example, he was elected as president two times. He didnt have to go to school back then. But he had to read a lot of law books. He took a test when he got it correct he became a lawer. He moved to the white house and had two children named Tad and Robert. Tad is nearly 8 years old. Robert was in college. Later on he was shot in the theater on April 15, 1865.

What we liked about the book is when Abraham Lincoln moved to the white house and we also like this book because it is history.

I think Ms. Berger should read this book because she’s teaching us about history. Once she reads this she will probably want to learn more about Abraham Lincoln. Or the president should read this because he would want to know what happened back then when someone else was president.
