Naruto is a great book you should read. It is about a young boy named Naruto Uzumaki who has a 9 Tailed Beast (Bijuu) inside him (the bijuu's/beast's name is Kurama). He is separated from the other kids because they think of him as the beast, not as the one who keeps it in their body. His goal is to be the greatest hokage (ninja president in their village). He fails the exam to become a ninja again, but later his sensei Iruka is about to get killed by another person, Mizuki. Naruto does a "jutsu" (basically magic powers) to clone himself 999 other times. He defeats Mizuki and Iruka gives him a ninja headband, which proves he is a ninja. The next day all the Genin (the lowest ninja rank other than the academy student) are separated into squads of 4 (one sensei and 3 genin). He is put with his crush Sakura, but his rival, Sasuke. Sasuke has no family just like Naruto, but he has one brother. His brother destroyed his entire clan (family) and Sasuke wants vengence. Sakura isn't very important, since she only cares about getting with Sasuke. Their ninja teacher, is Kakashi Hatake. It is a great book!

I've seen this book many times, and considered buying the same amount of times. For some reason I never did. Maybe subconsciously, my mind knew what a writer Gemeinhart is, and tried to spare me the tears that slipped out during the heartbreaking yet empowering moments. Maybe it was trying to stop me from reading an all too realistic and sad book that really hits close to home. Despite the endless list of "maybes," one thing's the truth. Mark, Beau, and Jessie are true friends and true fighters. And on top of that, I really wish I had picked up this book sooner, because once I did, there was no letting it down. That's the honest truth.

The book i'm reviewing is called Elijah of Buxton. Elijah of Buxton is a story about 11-year old Elijah Freeman who lives in Buxton, Canada. It is a settlement of runaways slaves near the American border. Elijah is the first child in town to be born free, so most people know about him and he is the best at chunking rocks and catching fish. What most people see is a boy who is scared of snakes and talks too much. Most of the time nothing happens but everything changes when a thief steals money from Elijah's friend who is saving up to buy his family out of captivity in the south. It's now Elijahs job to track down the thief. Will he get the money back? Will he get back home? You will have to read the book and find out. This book is recommended for 10 to 12 year olds because younger people might not know what slaves are and there are injuries in this book.

Personally I don't enjoy this book very much but I do think other people might enjoy this book and if you like adventure boo ks I definitely read this book!

And Annie, she worries of possibly losing one man that she loved; Dauphin Thompson who later in the book got killed in the raid along with Oliver, Albert Hazlett, Johnny Cook, and few others.

Island of the Blue Dolphins is about a girl named Karana who got left on her island to live alone. While she was gathering roots with her brother Ramo, she saw the Aleut ship and watched it carefully. Her brother thought it was a cloud, then a whale ,then a canoe. Ramo was quick to make things up. Karana kept digging roots but her hands were trembling with excitement. When she filled the basket with roots, the Aleut ship had almost docked. She crouched in the toyon bushes, trying to hide herself. She saw six men with long oars they had broad faces and their hair fell over their faces. At the back of the boat stood a man with a yellow beard. She had never seen a Russian before and wondered why he looked so angry. Then, the man spoke. He said, "I come in peace and wish to parley." Her father came up to him, thrust his spear into the ground and told this man his name. His true name. This startled Karana for they only give their real names to people whom they trust the most. The next morning had little wind. The Russian's name was Captain Orlov. He tried to bargain with Karana's father. He said the parts of the island shall be equal. They said more but Karana did not here because she was so excited she dropped a rock wich fell off the cliff she was on. Everyone looked up. Silently, she left the Toyon bushes and ran to the mesa. I highly recommend this book it is entertaining and suspensive.

love the book
