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.

The Last Battle

A donkey controlled by an ape puts on a lion skin and pretends to be Aslan. The donkey doesn't want to but the ape tells him to and the ape tells the animals what to do with the fake Aslan. Jill and Eustace go in to Narnia to help king Tirian (and his unicorn Jewel) find who the false Aslan is and they fight against the ape who turns out to be more evil and clever. When he tries to take over Narnia and the dwarves stop believing in Aslan, the real Aslan takes the animals, good people, etc to a new Narnia through a magic door. The new Narnia is a place where some dead people live(kind of like heaven) and where the animals, dryads, etc live. Then Jill, Eustace, peter, Edmund,Lucy, their mother and father die in their world and gets to stay in Narnia.
