Refugee # 2

szaken26 # # #

In the book Refugee by Alan Gratz, I think that the author chose to write about all three of these stories because they all relate. They relate one way because all of the characters are facing violence in their home town. Also, Mahmoud, who lives in Syria in 2015, needs to flee to Germany, and Josef lives in Germany in the 1930’s, but needs to flee to Cuba, and Isabel lives in Cuba in 1994. I think that the author also chose to alternate each story every chapter because it makes it easier to relate all of the stories.

This book is an amazing historical fiction book.

3 Sentence Summary #1

szaken26 # # # #

In the book Stars Of Summer by Tara Dairman, the main character Gladys Gatsby faces many different challenges. This is the sequel to another book, All Four Stars and in both books Gladys becomes a deeper cook and food critic. In the second book Gladys is going to Camp Bently for the first time, even though she is only going to make it easier to sneak out and review restaurants, Gladys is still going to have to “suffer” through some camp activities.

I highly recommend this series! (There are three books in this series)
