Did you know that Sacagawea was born in the year 1784? I know that it was a long time ago, but it is very interesting. Sacagawea’s life was very adventurous. A lot of people didn’t know that Sacagawea had TWO children, a boy and a girl. I wouldn’t recommend this because it tells some very good information, but I wish it would tell more.

My book about Houdini was fantastic, but what;s sad is that he was poor in his childhood and has to work to help his family live. But, he had fun working with his brother Theo on magic tricks. One of the tricks he did was very cool and how he did it was fantastic. If you wnat to know how he did his tricks, just read this book. I think it was cool how Houdini got married twice to the same girl. But I’m not telling who.

Did you know that he was a master at unlocking locks? One example of this is when the officers of the town came with a new lock. They wanted Houdini to try to get out. When Houdini got in, he immediately tried to unlock the lock. But it wouldn’t budge. Hours passed, but it still wouldn’t budge. Houdini got frusterated and just pushed on the door and it opened. So really it was just the lock in his own mind. So I think the biography about Houdini is amazing. I think you should read this book.

I liked the book becuase it had lots of interesting facts. I learned a lot from this book. Pocahontas was born in 1595 abd died in 1616. She spoke Algonkian. She saved John Snith’s life. He was an Englishman. She married John Rolfe and had a baby boy. His name was Thomas. He was born in 1615. That was a summary of the book. If I liked the book, then you will.

Wow, this book had such an interesting setting! The setting was in the early 1800′s. It is a time when slavery divided the Union in the North from the Confederacy in the South. This is the time the John Brown lived in.
There were also three major people that John Brown cared about in his life. The most important person was Dianthe Brown. She was his first wife. She died after giving birth to her seventh child. The second person that was important to John was Frederick Douglas. The last person was Harriet Tubman, a black woman who helped slaves escape through the underground railroad.
John Brown had three children that lived. Their names were Hannah, Sarah, and Owen. John also had a second wife named Ann Brown. In the end, John Brown was executed for his belief in ending slavery. I hope you love this book!

My book was amazing! I read a biography on Christopher Reeve. I loved it because it had a lot of descriptive words. I was so blown away by the writing. I liked the part when the author talked about his big accident in 1995. Do you want to learn more about Christopher Reeve and his big accident? Than I think you should read”Christopher Reeve”. I hope you like the book as much as I did.
