Justin Meorgan had a Horse Review

I recently read Justin Morgan had a Horse by Marguerite Henry.

Justin Morgan and his student,Joel went on a journey to collect a debt that was owed to them.But the debtor gave them a weak looking horse. Despite the way it looked,Joel fell in love with the colt.he begged Mater Morgan to let him gentle him,even though he had an apprenticeship on top of it.People scoffed at him,but he trained hard.Eventually,the Morgan became the most powerful horse in history!

I really enjoyed many things about this book.Even though people made fun of the colts size,he still stuck with the colt to make it one of the best breeds of horses.Also,the pictures are well drawn!

Safe Haven Book review

I recently read Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks.

Safe Haven is the latest book from Nick Sparks.This is the first book of his that fully deals with abusive relationships.I learned a lot about the phsycology in the minds of the abusers and those being abused.This book did not disappoint me in my expectations.He defiantly exceed them!

A Tree grows in Brooklynn Review

I recently read A Tree grows in Brooklynn by Betty Smith.

A Tree Grows in Brooklynn tells the tale of the Nolan family.Siblings Neely and and Francie grew up collecting junk on the streets and selling it for little money.As they grew up,their activity's changed They both became more independent from each other by finding jobs.Joy came to them when there mom gave birth to a baby and grief came to them when their dad died.But no matter what,they always where a strong family through it all.

I will be 100% honest.I had a hard time finishing this book because it was almost 500 pages,so I stopped for awhile.But once I picked up again,I was glad.This book is well written. Everyone should read it for its family type value.

I recently read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

To Kill a Mockingbird is told through the eyes of the young Jean-Louise "Scout" Finch. S

he grew up in the small town Maycomb,Alabama. She,her brother Jem and their friend,Dill were fascinated by Boo Radley,an old recluse that lived in a dark house in their neighborhood.The children always dared each other to go to go to the house and ring the doorbell.One time,Jem caught a glimpse of him!They all left horrified! Later,the children found random goodies stuck in the hallow of a tree which Boo left for them.

Later,while at school Scout was at school,she got called a dirty name.Everyone was harsh saying in a rude way she loved black paper. Later,she asked her father why the

y said that .He told her when people would say that,to remain calm and not retaliate.He told her that he was defending a black man in court,(which was socialy unacceptable.But despite everyone looking down upon him,he still

stood by his convictions.After many tiresome days and nights,Tom Robinson,pleaded guilty.

Atticus took this loss very hard.Then,a heartbreaking event happened.While trying to escape from prison he was shot multiple times.Atticus was outraged

by the injustice of the court system and how it was run.

Where do I begin?

First off, I love how this story is told through the eyes of a young child.That seemed to put a lot more innocence into it.They were put through a lot of hard trials and they,for the most part handled it with much maturity.You can relate to children because we all were children at on point in our lives.

Secondly,I love the character Atticus Finch.He seems to be very calm and posed throughout the whole book.He was a great example to his children,as well as all the people in his town.I also liked how no matter what people would say or do,he would still not back down from what was right.

I think this is one of the best fictional books ever written. We as humans can learn a lot from it! this is on my top 5 favorites list for sure!
