Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt

    Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is very interesting because in the story there's this spring and if you drink from it you’ll live forever. While Jesse and Winnie were traveling through the woods, Winne found the spring and wanted to drink it because she was thirsty. But Jesse told her not to drink the spring but she wanted to drink it. So the Tucks kidnapped her to tell her about the water. While she was getting kidnapped, there was this man in the yellow suit who saw it. So the man in the yellow suit negotiated with Winnie’s parents to get the spring in order for him to tell them where Winnie is.

   The reason I liked this book is because it’s fiction and it’s a really interesting story. Also this book is a mystery. It reminds me of the time when I felt like running away because I was annoyed by my parents. I also would love to live forever.

Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan

I liked Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan because it's about a big sister and a little brother whose mother had died the day after she gave birth to the little brother. The father would come home to dinner after work. He found a paper about getting a new wife and signed up. She came over to this country and her name was Sarah. She was nice to everyone and would have fun with the kids once in a while. They did not want her to go back home to her beach house by the seashore where her brother lived.

I also liked this book because it has lots of details. The words make the story more fascinating. I hope more people will read this very good book. Sarah was a tall lady, and she was just plain, but she was a very nice person.

Dante's Inferno by Dante Alighieri

The book Dante's Inferno by Dante Alighieri is the book I will be reviewing. It’s an amazing book where you follow Dante into hell so he can find his wife. Although most copies of the book were in Italian, I was able to get an English copy for the review.

SPOILER WARNING!!!!

The book starts when the main character “Dante” ventures to hell's gate to find his wife. He begins his quest in limbo. He meets the three headed dog that guards hell's gate.  Dante defeats it and continues on to limbo, the first place he must go to. He arrives there by taking the Charon ferry across the river of Woe. While going through limbo he sees the souls trapped there. The next place he must go is lust, where those who committed the sin of lust are kept. I don't want to go any further with the plot. I suggest you read the book first.

END OF SPOILERS!!!!

I would rate the book a 9 out of 10. If you have a heart of glass I don't suggest this book. This book is dark in tone. The book is an amazing book and I recommend it to anyone who is at least over the age of 10. My connection to this book is that it was a book that had lots of emotion and had an amazing and fulfilling ending.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is about a young boy Charlie, whose family is very poor. Charlie walks by Willy Wonka's chocolate factory every day to get to school. Willy Wonka had a contest of five golden tickets hidden in his chocolate bars. Everyone wanted to win the lucky golden ticket, but only four people won. The winners who get a golden ticket will get a tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. There might even be a surprise in the chocolate factory. Did Charlie get lucky and win a golden ticket?  

I loved how the author made a book about a chocolate factory, and how the surroundings made the book more interesting to read. Personally I am a fan of chocolate, which made the book more relatable in my opinion. I also loved that the author made images of candy and chocolate in my mind. I love to read fiction books, especially one that's relatable for me.

Do you like fiction books?  Do you know the author Roald Dahl?  If so, you’ll probably know the book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This book is about a boy named Charlie who lives with a poor family.  Charlie lives in a city with a chocolate factory owned by Mr. Wonka.  When Charlie was young, the factory closed.  The factory reopens, and Mr. Wonka gave out Golden Tickets.  Golden Tickets are used for admission for a factory tour.  Charlie was one of the people who got the ticket, and so does four other people.  Soon the people that had Golden Tickets were given a tour.  Four kids however did what they’re not supposed to do.  The kids were sent home, but in a miserable way.  The characters are Mr. Wonka, Charlie, and Grandpa Joe (he took Charlie to the factory). There is more, but you’ll have to read the actual book!  The book is exciting.  When I read it, Charlie is going inside the factory and I don’t know what will happen.  I have a text to world connection, and it is to never do things you shouldn’t be doing.  If we hadn’t, the world would just be peaceful.  I guarantee this book will make you excited and laugh.

The Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett

The Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett is not a book for little kids like you would expect.  It is a wonderful, yet sad story about a rich young girl named Sara Crewe.  Sara’s father had to go to India because of his work, but the air was not healthy for kids to breath.  Sara’s father ends up enrolling 7-year old Sara in Miss Minchin’s Select Seminary for Young Girls, a boarding school in America.  Miss Minchin only favors Sara because of her father’s money, but what happens when Sara’s wealth disappears?  What will greedy Miss Minchin do to Sara?  Read about Sara Crewe and her mission to stay optimistic when she is forced to work as a maid, and is forbidden to talk to the other girls.  Later, Sara becomes good friends with Becky, the other maid who lives in the attic with Sara.  She teaches Becky how to pretend and tells her lots of wonderful and creative stories.   I have a very difficult challenge for you.   I challenge you to go read this classic book, and try not to cry.   I doubt you will be able to resist crying while you read this amazing story!   I hope you decide to accept my challenge.
