Blurb

"Shes's got the making of most anything in her, Rebeccca has." 
It is with some trepidation that Rebecca dismounts from the old stage coach at the austere brick house in riverboro. She doesn't quite know what to expect - no more than do her elderly spinster aunts, Miranda and Jane. but her mother is certain that this will be "the making of Rebecca" - and she's right.
Rebecca is about the most likeable girl you could hope to meet. Her extrovert nature, boundless energy and irrepressible enthusiasm soon captivate all who come across her, and life is never quite the same again. 
My Review
I thought this was a great book! I can see how it has been a firm favorite since its publication in 1903. I was slightly disappointed that Rebecca and Mr.Aladdin didn't get married. The Author has done a great Job creating this spectacular book.

Keep reading

My review

I rate this book 9 out of 10

Great book!! I can't seem to read a book that I don't like!! ha ha. Golden girl is awesome as you not only get to read all about these amazing characters but also get to see what the high life's like in India. Throughout this book there are many beautiful descriptions of Palaces, busy roads and lovely views. But...Jess nearly stuffs up her chance with JJ as she thinks he like the stunningly beautiful actress Shreya. Will Jess manage to fix her mistakes?

Hope you all enjoy this book, Although it is the fourth book I think that you would enjoy it even if you haven't read all the a joining books.

Summer of my German soldier

Author: Bette Greene

Pages: 205

Age group: 12+ (It is just quite sad near the end)

Genre: Wartime, America

 Blurb

'I'm a Jew,' said Patty's father, 'and 'd rather help a mad dog escape from the pound than help a Nazi.'

When Patty Bergen sold a red pencil sharpener to the German prisoner in her father's store, a friendship was started which was to bring her much unhappiness, but also the greatest joy she'd ever known.

An unusual moving story set in wartime America.

My Review

I rate this book 9 out of 10! 

It is a very moving story and brought tears to my eyes at one stage. It is about a 12 year old girl in a time of war. She was under the influence of a cruel father, which constantly affected her kindness towards others. She was an extremely caring person and I felt as if I knew her when I had finished reading the book. It was really interesting to read about the time during the war and it made me tremedously grateful that i don't live in a war zone. An amazing book, which I could read again and again.

see you soon,

Courtney
