Second Daughter

Second Daughter is written by Mildred Pitts Walter. It is about a girl and her sister and they are both slaves. It talks a lot about how slaves were treated and what people thought about them and the subject of slavery. The second girl that I mentioned was a midwife and went out and helped sick people  but her master got all of the money that she brought in. It also talks about how you should stand up for yourself no matter what.

Jaguar

Jaguar is written by Roland Smith. It is about a boy named Jake and his dad, Doc. Doc wanted to go help his best friend set up a preserve down in Brazil and he did not want Jake to come, he wanted Jake to stay with his grandpa at a retirement home. Jake did not agree with this idea he wanted to go with Doc. Jake ended up staying with his grandpa(parents always win). Then he gets a fax saying that he can go down to Brazil for a week and help Doc. It gets very exciting from this point on like Jake gets to go through the Amazon jungle exciting but I'm not going to tell you about that. Jaguar is a really exiting book for you to read the beginning starts out mildly slow but it never stops going faster than the speed of light after that.

Favorite Authors

This is a list of authors that I highly recommend and favor:

Sharon Creech: good books for all genres

Tamora Pierce: lovely fantasy books in the teen section(girls like these better than boys)
Roland Smith: adrenaline rushing adventure stories that have a new surprise at every turn

Terrier

Terrier is written by Tamora Pierce. Terrier is also in a series. Terrier is about a girl, Beka, who is training to be a Dog, a police woman/man. She is a strong female character and some one that I look up to. She isn’t only kind caring and realistic she also one  kick butt girl. She may only be a puppy, a Dog in training, but she can do some damage. She has the best training Dogs, Goodwin and Tunsel. I bet that all of the GIRLS  WILL REALLY LIKE THIS. I hope that you will all read this awesome book and feel the same way that I do!!!!!!
