Starting school with an enemy

This funny and well thought out book, "Starting School with an Enemy" by Elisa Carbone, is

about a girl who moved to a new home. But when she tries to save a boys life, the little boy's big brother gets the wrong idea. The girl finds the young boy out in the street where a huge truck was about to hit him. So the girl cycled to him with massive speed and apparently knocked him over. The big brother saw what happened and now, the girl has to start school with an enemy. I characterize the big brother as "trouble".

Boy of the Painted Cave

This 112 page novel, Boy of the Painted Cave by Justen Denzel, is about an adventures young boy who finally lives his dream as a cave painter. As you can see, he finds a rabit but forgets it when he threw it beacause he could not trace its shape in the snow. He gaets banned from his tribe until he finds another. He meets a kind wolf dog that he named Ram on the way. There is also another problem, his tribe leader, volt, has alwas thought of wolf dog as a bad omen. And when volt finds Tao with the wolf, Volt and the rest of the tribe try to kill Ram. I think a thesis for this is man vs. man.

This this 341 paged book,"Elijah of Buxton", is about an adventurous eleven-year old boy named, you guest it, Elijah. He was the first ever baby born free. But Elijah faces a major problem in the story. You see, Elijah's best friend, Cooter, was saving money to buy his real parents out of slavery. But a former slave steals cooter's hard earn money. Elijah decides to pursue the thief and retrieve cooter's money. That is, how I would say,“True friendship”.

So, what I said,”True Friendship” is a logical statement for this book. It can be explained in many ways. Like how Elijah decided to go get cooter's money back. There are also dangers along his journey. Such as slave traders could capture him, so that would mean risking HIS own freedom just to help cooter. I loved this book and all of it's funny characters. I STONGLY recommend this book to any one. It's full of action, drama, excitement, funniness, and much, much more!
