Grenade is an exciting book that is about an American soldier and a Japanese kid. It is a real page turner.  If I were the author of the book,  if I had to I would change the part when Rey ran into Hideki so Rey wouldn't die.  I would change it at the part when Rey ran into the forest.  I would have run away from him.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the story I would choose life threatening because at one moment he jumps out of a bush and the Americans have a clear shot of him.  Hope you read Grenade one day because you will love it!


Refugee Q Book Review-By Cris

 Blog Book Review

Name of Reviewer: Cris

Title of Book: Refugee

Author of Book: Alan Gratz

# of pages: 352

# AR points: 10.0                                 RL: 5.3

Book is found in Miss Q’s Library

https://www.amazon.com/Refugee-Alan-Gratz/dp/0545880831/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1O9A4Y2VEA8N6&keywords=refugee+alan+gratz&qid=1667410479&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjk3IiwicXNhIjoiMS40NyIsInFzcCI6IjEuMzYifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=Refugee%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-1

Refugee is a story about 3 kids that go on different trips that risked their lives.  Josef is a 13 year old boy in 1939 who escapes Nazi Germany on a crew ship to Cuba.  Mahmoud is a kid in Aleppo,Syria who escapes Aleppo from Assad.   Isabel is a girl in Cuba who is planning to escape with her next door neighbors on a ship/raft to Miami,Florida.  I liked Refugee because it was an interesting book with an action packed story and sad parts. If I had to change where Isabel,her family,and her next door neighbors see their son Ivan get eaten by sharks. If I were a character in the book I would be Luis the police officer so I can stop the protests. If I had to solve the problem by not letting Ivan go in the water.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the book it would definitely be adventure.   If you like adventure and drama, then Refugee is the book for you.

Nate's Book blog Review

Name of Reviewer: Nate

Title of Book: Prisoner B-3087

Author of Book: Alan Gratz

# of pages: 260

# AR points: 7.0                                          RL: 4.9


Prisoner B-3087 is about a kid who is trying to work hard to get out of all the death camps in Germany and Poland because the Nazis have invaded.  This book is marvelous and I liked it because Yanek (the kid) survives all the death camps he has lived in.  I would not change anything about the book and even if I wanted to I can’t because the book is based on a true story.  If I was Yanek, I would solve the problem by running away into the city where the Nazis wouldn’t know he was a Jew.  If I could pick one juicy word to describe the the book, it would be BOGGLE because it is hard to imagine that all these horrible things could happen to a kid.  If you like war books, I would recommend this book to you because Prisoner B-3087 is all about war.
