Books by Blei: Black Duck
Black Duck
by Janet Taylor Lisle
Recommended by: Ryan G.
I read a historical fiction book called "Black Duck", and it was great! I usually don't like historical fiction at all, but I liked this one. It was about two friends who found a dead boy on the shore and they called the cops, but when the cops came, the body wasn't there! The boys didn't touch it. While all this police commotion was going on, one of the boys was doing illegal work for money! Oh, did I mention that the other boy's dad is the sheriff? The sheriff doesn't want his son to be friends with Ruben (the other boy). Ruben almost dies a bunch of times, and in the end...
Read to find out!
This book was: Great!

Books by Blei: Immortal
Immortal
by Gillian Shields
Recommended by: Thao H.
Immortal is a book where the past and the future meet. Evie has to go to a new school but there's something different between Evie Johnson and Wyld Cliffe Abbey School. Evie has to figure out the history of the school because something is haunting her to be careful about one person that could cause danger to her. My favorite part of the book was when I saw Lady Ages journal, which goes back to the 1800's. It connects to Evie's life right now. I love how this book is a historical fiction and mystery.
This book was: A quick read because it is so good!

Books by Blei: Soldier's Heart
Soldier's Heart
by Gary Paulsen
Recommended by: MaiLee Y.
Soldier's Heart is a historical fiction book. In this book Charley, a 15-year-old boy, decided to join the army to become a real man, even though he was underage to volunteer for the war. During the battles he fought, he saw many people who died beside him. He was terrified and thought about running away from the army. My favorite part of the book was when Charley and the Rebel (enemy) were talking and trading items during their night duty.
This book was: Very fascinating because it tells you what happened during the war!

Books by Blei: The River Between Us
The River Between Us
by Richard Peck
Recommended by: Lily P.
Tilly Pruitt and her family live in a small town down the Mississippi River. One odd evening, two ladies came off of a steamboat, Delphine Duval, the "fancy one", and Calinda, the "dark-skinned" one. They were seeking a place to stay and soon ended up in a room in the Pruitt family's home and changed their lives forever. This book does a great job describing the way of life in the 1860's. It might be heavy on the romance, but it also bring the horrors of war to life.
This book was: Information and exciting!

Books by Blei: The Black Pearl
The Black Pearl
by Scott O'Dell
Recommended by: Dominique W.
This book is about a boy named Ramon Salazar and his advenutres in the sea, either with his Dad or Gaspar Ruiz, the "Sevillano". Ramon reminds me of myself because he's adventours, curious and daring. I would categorize this book as an action, adventure, and suspense book. I like the setting and writing style of the book because it make you feel like you are actually in the past by the details of the setting and the objects in it. I would recommend this book to people who like pearls, mantas, oceans and adventures.
