Hope Was Here
Joan Baur

   In this book you can read about having hope even in things that don't seem possible. This Newberry Honor Award book was really good and you can learn that after all, everyone could use a little hope to get through the tough times, even hope herself.

The Help

Kathryn Stockett

   This story takes place around the early 1960s when segregation was still around. There are three point of views in this story, Ms.Skeeter, Minny and Aibileen.

       In this book, Ms.Skeeter, who dreams of being a writer, works on a book that includes negro maids' stories about working for white families. Everyone who helps write the book know this is a big risk, but they share their stories anyway. 

The Help
Kathryn Stockett

       From another point of view Minny gives her story(read to know)to put in the book, so they can have something like an insurance to keep them anonymous and safe, Aibileen taking care of the kids she love. They might all have their hard times but they stay strong and all hope for the best.

       When you read this novel you may be able to realize that no matter what skin color,we are all people. It's the inside that counts.

         Annd there is a movie too.

Funny In Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas

Funny in Farsi is a memoir about the author, Firoozeh Dumas moving from Iran to America. Every chapter is like a little short story and the stories can be funny, about the life of the author in america.

I kind of liked the book because it was funny and because i moved to america too. One thing i wondered while reading the book was why it was called Funny in Farsi, and i now i know its because Farsi is a kind of language( i think). I want to reccomend this book to people who like humor and other people who have also moved to the united states from a different country.

Tom Sawyer By Mark Twain

Only read if you wanna know the whole story.

One night they were out in the graveyard and witnessed a murder. They promise not to tell anyone but eventually Tom Sawyer reveals that Injun Joe was the murderer. And so he thinks that Injun Joe is after him.

Another night Huck and Tom find buried treasure in a haunted house. But while they are at it, Injun Joe and somebody else enter the house, Tom and Huck runs to hide and then loses the treasure to him. And towards the end, Tom gets trapped inside a cave for a couple of days and discover that injun Joe is in there with him. He eventually comes out and the people of the town block the ntrance to the cave so that no one would get lost in there again. And then Tom remembers that Injun Joe was in there and they find out that he is dead.

Tom and Huck go in to the cave one more time and find the treasure chest and becomes rich.

This book is really old so it was hard to understand a lot of stuff but it is ok.
