Gerda Weissman Klein is a fifteen year old girl that lives in Bielitz, Poland with her family. The story begins on September 3, 1939 when the Nazis invade her town.…

    Book Report On Spelled

    While starting to read the novel Spelled I enjoyed all the references to other fairy tales, like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Princess and the Frog. Betsy Schow, the author, added quotes and symbols that relate to the story that the book is based off of, The Wizard of Oz. After Dorthea, the princess of Emerald, and her servant Rexi escaped the “vacuum”, Dorthea said, “Dear Grimm, we’re not in Emerald anymore” which refers to, “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Schow also changed the ruby slippers to Hans Christian Louboutin heels, which was very clever from my perspective.…

    Get that freak is a very eye opening book to ready. The authors Haskell and Brian do a great job in showing the life an LGBTQ member in today’s high school. Having real students talk about their experiences, good and bad had a significant impact on the book. I feel as though the purpose of this book was to reiterate that a person is a person, whether they like the same sex, different, both, or even neither. Hearing from these students creates a more real feeling for the audience.…

    I read the Finnish author Rosa Liksom’s Compartment No. 6 which is the British translation of the original novel Hytti Nro. 6. Originally I wanted to read Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, but that book is not in any of Kuopio’s libraries. I found Liksom’s book by going to the English section at the City Library and looked for a book that looked interesting. I saw many sci-fi and fantasy books, which I like, but they were mostly quite long or part of a series.…
