"The Drinking Gourd"

The stars of the Big Dipper have led a runaway family to Deacon Fuller's house, a stop on the underground railroad. Will Tommy Fuller be able to hide the runaways from a search party---or will the secret passengers be able discovered and their hope for freedom destroyed? 

Today, I read a book published from I Can Read Book, "The Drinking Gourd". It wasn't bad, having pretty good stories. But I kinda hoped it was longer and was able to see what happened to the family.

BR 2-05: The Clever Woman

イメージ
"Go and see Linda McCormack! She's a very clever woman. She knows the answer to everything." Sean Murphy is happy to hear this.            I've read "The Clever Woman" published from Helbling Readers. This book was about a man who wanted to relax, but couldn't relax because his family is always noisy in the house. He asked Linda McCormack for advice. She told him to get chiken, goose, and goat into his house. Then the house got more noisier. She told Mr Murphy to get the animals out, and after he did that, his family's noises didn't bothered him anymore.             I don't know that if this book is good. What this book is trying to tell is, "If you can't change the enviornment, you have to change yourself". I think this is kind of crusial. Just let the man relax. Puchta, H.(2007). The Clever Woman.

BR 1-02: Storm Castle

イメージ
Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. "Oh no!" said biff. "I don't want the key to glow. I don't want a magic adventure. I want to play on Nick's computer." "I don't want a magic adventure," said Chip. "I don't want to go to..."(p.8) I've read "Storm Castle" published from Oxford Story Tree. This story was kind of different from always. Magic key usually glows when kids are trying to learn or discover somethings. But this was just about kids trapped in the world of games and trying to solve it. I still liked reading it though. Hunt.R(1993) Storm Castle. Oxford Reading Tree.

BR 2-01: "Journey to Mars"

イメージ
You are an austronaut. You and two other people are going on the first trip to Mars. Your space ship is called the Mars Adventure. You are the navigator. You must keep the space ship going the right way.  I've read "Journey to Mars" published by Atama ii books. It's been a while since last time I've read these books. I don't know what this book was trying to tell. You take off and immidiately, you some how find a wormhole right outside of Earth. The book askes you if you should go into the wormhole you don't even know what's going to happen. That's not strange enough? There is a self-destruct system on the ship. I mean, why? For what? I'll explain these very easly. "This book is for kids". OK? Raine, P. (2014). Journey to Mars. Tokyo and Florida: Atama-ii Books.
