Little Women
it was amazing
Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott
I think that this book was very good. It was enjoyable and fun to read, but it very long. This causes the book to take a long time to read. That can be a good thing if you want to be entertained for hours, but not if you are short on tim...
A Single Shard
really liked it
A Single Shard
by Linda Sue Park
I think it was really good, since I really like the story. There was also a lot of details and imagery in the story, which I liked. The characters are quite interesting and exciting, so the book is also as a result. It is quite a sad sto...
Lottie Moon: Giving Her All for China
it was amazing
Lottie Moon: Giving Her All for China
by Janet Benge
It is a wonderful book. I just want to read/listen to it over and over. It is a timeless book, so it doesn't really matter that she lived over a hundred years ago. Some of the lessons in her life, still apply to people today. Lottie does...
Ella Enchanted
really liked it
Ella Enchanted
by Gail Carson Levine
I liked how Ella Enchanted is a fractured fairy tale that is based off of Cinderella. Most people have read Cinderella or are familiar with the story, so the book is very relatable. However, the book has many twists that help to make the...
Little Town on the Prairie
it was amazing
Little Town on the Prairie
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
I like how there is a lot of detail. I think it is nice to know what it was like when there were still a lot of settlers in The United States of America. Her story has a lot of ups and downs and she doesn't seem to hold anything back. Sh...
Dragon Ride: True Stories of Adventure, Miracles, and Evangelism from China
it was amazing
Dragon Ride: True Stories of Adventure, Miracles, and Evangelism from China
by Grace Jacob
I like how instead of just starting already in the mission field, Grace Jacob tells people in the book what happens before she decided to be a missionary to China and I also like how she tells us what caused her to want to go to China. ...
Elsie Dinsmore
it was amazing
Elsie Dinsmore
by Martha Finley
I think it is very good. I like how Elsie is very obedient and doesn't tell on people, even if she knows they purposely tried or did hurt her. She also is very kind even to the people who are mean to her. The book tells all the good and ...
Mary Slessor: Forward into Calabar
it was amazing
Mary Slessor: Forward into Calabar
by Janet Benge
My overall impression is that it was very exciting and adventurous. She is very lively and daring. I really like it when, even though begged her not to go and said that she would surely be called if she went to Calabar. I like how she sh...

You might find the help you need in the step by step instructions down below. These are the words that are meant to go with the video.

The Silent Girl (Chapter 11)

This is created by An Makes and Mei Makes. *Disclaimer*: This is a work of fiction. Some events may be based on real life, but some events are made up.       The next morning all the kids were unusually quiet. We all knew that our great uncle had been telling the truth. We also remembered the sticky thing dropping on my head. We had not decided whether to tell the grownups or not, about our investigation. That's why we were all so quiet.  "Are you okay?" Ye Ye said.     We all just nodded our heads and Ava asked Ye Ye if we could all be excused. Ye Ye agreed and we all headed out to Clara's and my room to decide whether we should tell them or not. We got there. And then Hayden asked what was going on because he was confused.     "What's going on? We are deciding whether we should tell the adults what we saw and heard or not." Ava said.     "Oh. I think we should tell the parents and other adults." Hayden said.   ...
