His brother, his ancestor named Pavol the Good,magic, and a small leather bag helps him succeed.I liked this book because of how the author made the adventure exciting and full of action. He also made it so I understood what was happening.

This story is about a girl named September who discovers Fairyland and learns many things there. She meets the Marquess and makes a few of her own friends. She goes on a adventure to help Fairyland and gets back safely. I liked this book because I could understand the character and her personality. I liked how good and kind she was.



#3: Titanic Sinks By Barry Denenburg


This nonfiction picture book is about the doomed voyage of the Titanic. It talks about who was on the ship and the building of the ship too. I liked this book because it taught me so many new things I didn't know about the Titanic.

#5: Blizzard of Glass By Sally M. Walker


This book is about the tragedy in Halifax from two ship colliding with one of the ships carrying dangerous explosives. It talks about what happens afterwards and how the people survive.

#6: Emerald Atlas by John Stephens


This book is about three young children who lose their parents, but later save a whole village from losing their children because of the evil Countess and her master. They meet many people and learn many things,including what the Books of Beginning are.
