A Book Review: The Hidden Amethyst 

By Joy

The Hidden Amethyst is written by one of our own writers...  J.C. : )

Summary of the book from Amazon:

"Amethyst Butternut is a ten-year-old girl who finds herself trapped on the orphan train, desperately trying to find a way out. She soon discovers it is just the beginning of her adventure as she and her new friends embark on a perilous quest.

J.C. did such a great job writing this book and I'm not just saying that because she is my friend!  I could not put this book down I enjoyed reading it so much. J.C. is a fantastic writer, and has so much creativity. From the first sentence I could tell that this book was gonna be fantastic!!!  One of my favorite characters is Lucy, who is a little 6 year old orphan!

A Book Review: NERDS By Andrew

A Book Review: NERDS

By Andrew 

        My favorite book series is NERDS (national, espionage, rescue and defense society). NERDS is written by Micheal Buckley who is also the author of Sisters Grim. This book is about a team of secret agents, who can only be in the NERDS team until they are 18 years old.  They have weaknesses that are upgraded into special abilities. Along the books you will find betrayal, new bad guys, and surprises. Each book is better than the one before!   My favorite character is Jackson Jones, who has the ability to form his braces into anything he wants just by thinking about it.  I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.  I recommend this book to anyone who likes action or adventure books!

Books in the series:
Book one- National Espionage Rescue and Defense Society

Book two- M is for Mama's Boy

Book three- The Cheerleaders of Doom

Book four- The Villian Virus

(And hopefully more to come!)

Truly a Doctor of Science

 Truly a Doctor of Science

By Nicholas

     Dr. Benjamin Rush was born on December 24, 1745. When his father died, he was 5 years old and his mother moved the family to Pennsylvania. There, to support her family, she opened a simple grocery store. His first careers were being a doctor and a college teacher. Later he became a chemist and a political thinker. He is called America’s physician father because he knew so much about medicine. He replaced a Pennsylvania delegate who was absent and signed the famed Declaration of Independence. After that he was elected to Congress. During his time on Congress he tried to get George Washington removed from the general position. He failed and had to write a humiliating apology letter. Then he was quickly elected to the Surgeon General position. He died in Philadelphia in 1813.  Dr. Benjamin Rush was truly a doctor of science.

The Troublemaker

On the first day of class, the teacher asked any troublemakers to stand up.  After a few moments of silence, a shy little girl stood up.  "Are you a troublemaker?" the teacher asked.

"No," replied the girl,  "I just hate to see you standing there all by yourself."
