Auto racing super stats by Jeff savage was overall okay. The book was very informative, lots of facts although not page turning, The author Jeff savage did do a good job with this book if you are into cars or racing. This book is about racing different types of cars, world records, and lots of facts about everything to do with cars in general. In this book they talk about lots of things like NASCAR racing and drag racing. Another thing I love about this book is it has a ton of graphs showing cool things like most NASCAR wins in a row, most NASCAR career wins, cup series wins, best drivers in Generation-6 cars and most Indianapolis championship wins. It has different people who race, how many wins they have, and facts about them. One of my favorite parts of the whole book is that they also show some female racers. I personally think this is cool because I don’t normally see a lot of female racers especially in books. I would rate this good with 7 out of 10. Everything seems good except for that fact that it didn’t really grab my attention.

The author’s purpose of writing Hockey Records was to teach hockey and the amazing things people playing the sport have done. The author did accomplish this by giving information on hockey player records. The people that are most likely to read this book are hockey fans and just sport people all together. The way the book is special is all the details it had and the pictures it showed. All the facts are interesting.The book holds the reader’s interest by showing pictures and having facts. The book would go very nicely in a middle school library for its amazing facts and how easy it was for kids to read.

Review by Isaiah
War carries many requirements and systems. Even the people who fight the war must go through training systems. I knew nothing about warfare until I read this book, Dirty Bombs And Shell Shock by Leon Gray. I never knew that war required so many things and that the outcomes could be extreme. The cover of the book caught my eye quickly, as if it was begging me to open it. The pages themselves were full of very specific information. Each individual page talked about a certain topic thoroughly. The pictures looked puzzling to me, but thanks to the captions, I was able to understand what each picture was saying. The call out cards also gave some additional information about the topic that really helped me understand the topic more. There was also a timeline of events similar to the topics and an index. The glossary gave the definitions of the unknown words, for which I was thankful. I’d recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about war or be a soldier someday to fight these wars.

Susan B. Anthony when arrested for voting she stated that America was built only for white males. She concluded that the pronouns of he and him in the constitution and others never included women which is why women didn’t have the right to vote. She believed if this was true, women didn’t need to pay taxes either. Women stopped paying taxes to America as a protest for not being seen as equal in America´s eyes. You can read all about this and more things women and supporters of equal rights did to be seen as equal in the book, Women’s Suffrage, by Duchess Harris. The book goes over the fight for women’s rights in voting, education, careers, and more. This book is a good book and includes links to useful website to give more information. It also addresses African American women´s harder fight for rights in America. The book also goes over the fact not every women wanted suffrage or believed women needed suffrage. It also includes a page for Fast Facts, Important Dates, Stop and Think, Online Resources, Index, and a Glossary. This book is a good book to read if you want to learn about women’s suffrage. It’s also a good book to read if you want to think about women’s suffrage and ask questions about it.

If you want to know more about African Americans struggles and the Civil Rights Movement, then read the book¨The Civil Rights Movement¨ by Eric Braun. The book goes over the history and the start of the Civil Right movements for African Americans and how it affected more movements after like the Gay rights movement and Women rights movement. It also goes over key people in the history that helped the movements get as far as they got. It shows how there´s still a need for a Civil Rights movement with police brutality. The book’s theme shows that it’s an unfair and unjust way to treat someone. The book also includes a Table of contents, Timeline, and Index for helping understand the material. As well as pictures to help people understand and visualize the material. The book is a good book to read if you’re interested in the Civil Rights movement. It helps the reader feel as though Civil Rights movement didn’t happen too long ago and adds to the problems America still has with racism. It shows the violent sides of the Civil Rights movement on both sides, and how peaceful boycotts, sit-ins, walks, and other peaceful protests can help improve a situation over being violent.

SWEETIES by Cathy Cassidy is based on THE CHOCOLATE BOX GIRLS novels. Sweeties is a graphic novel about a teenage girl named Summer. Summer is in love with ballet and is really focused on winning the auditions for her dream ballet school. Summer is suffering from anorexic and possibly killing herself by starving herself and thinking she’s fat. She is focusing on her curve but is not realizing it herself because she’s focusing too much on the auditions and boys and just teenage life. She finally realizes what she needs to do with the help of several people including a boy named Alfie and finally gives up self judgment and starvation. I highly recommend reading this for teenagers who are having the same issue or for teens who need a story that will change their way of thinking.
Review by Rakaya
Uncovering Ancient Artifacts is a very informational book by Rachael L. Thomas about the ancient artifacts that archaeologists have discovered over the years. Thomas starts out by putting in you in a scenario that engages you with the book. “You’ve poured over maps and ancient writing for many months…Your research brought you here.” Throughout the book, different ancient artifacts as well as describe different archaeological terms and processes, such as how archaeologists preserve artifacts. The book includes many interesting features and has a timeline that leads up to modern day archaeology where it talks about new laws around archaeology. The extra features and additions like the timeline, make it easy to understand and more interesting. The pictures really add a lot as there is less text so a lot of the space is filled with pictures. Uncovering Ancient Artifacts is really good for beginning information on the subject. I enjoyed learning about artifacts that I had heard about before but not gone in depth with yet. It was very fun and informative. If you want more specific and in-depth information, this is probably not the book you are looking for. All around, this book is a collection of some of the most famous archaeological advancements in uncovering ancient artifacts and an introduction to archaeology. Recommended.
