Book Reviews

Book #3

This book is titled "The Last Chance Detectives: Canyon Quest." It is written by Jim Ware. It is about a 12 year old boy and his life in Ambrosia Arizona. He meets three friends on his search for his dad. Along the way, he encounters many trials. It is a Christian book.

Book #4

This next book is titled "Mystery of the Roman Ransom." It is written by Henry Winterfeld. It is the other book I mentioned in my review of Detectives in Togas, the one that is a part of a series. This time the boys have to figure out which one of them might have a father who will be assassinated. It is filled with mystery and intrigue.

Book #5

The last book for this post it titled “The Witch of Blackbird Pond.” It is written by Elizabeth George Speare. It is about a 16 year old girl who has been raised in Barbados by her grandfather, and now has to go live with her aunt, whom she has never seen, and her family in Connecticut. Not long after living there, she is accused of being a witch. This is also a Christian book.

Book Reviews.

Since I have started a reading list, I decided that I would do a review on each book. I will add my opinion of the book. I have also moved the feature “My Summer Reading List” to the bottom of my blog. So it will be more readable. I have put the books that I have read there along with the dates that I read each book, from the day I start each book to the day that I finish.

Book Review #1

This is the book that I decided to start my reading “spree” with.

The title of the book is “Mara, Daughter of the Nile.” It is written by Eloise Jarvis McGraw. It takes place in ancient Egypt.

This is a book that I have to restrain myself to reading once a year. For I know that if I read it more that that, I will surly tire of it. I defiantly recommend it to people who have a lot of time on their hands in which they can read this exciting tale! Not to mention, it is a tale of adventure, romance, and intrigue. A story that, as I said above, will take you on a journey through ancient Egypt.

Book Review #2

This next book is titled “Detectives in Togas.” It is written by Henry Winterfeld. It also happens to be an Odyssey Classic. It is one of a four book series, of which I have and read two.

This is another that I have to read once a year. For I would bore of it, and be able to recite it almost work for work. This book is for people who love mystery, and love to read anything about ancient Rome.
