The Breadwinner

Book by: Deborah Ellis
Review by: Emma T.

The Breadwinner is an exciting realistic book about a young girl living in Afghanistan in the reign of the Taliban. Imagine the struggles she went with her father in jail. This is a great book, and there are even two more besides The Breadwinner. I say you should read all three of them!

Under The Blood Red Sun

Book by: Graham Salisbury
Review by: Emma T.
This is the story of a Japanese American boy in the time of World War 2. The struggles his family faces are tough. His dads boat is sunk and he is taken to jail for not flying an American flag. It’s a tough life the boy named Tomi needs to start working and has to do a lot around the house. This is a great book, the fifth grade read for school and most people liked it.
