The Last Piece By: Imogen Clark
I gave this
book 4 stars. This book I received in my Once Upon Book Club Box.
This book is
about adoption and finding your birth family. This can be a hard book for some
to read if you have a family member who was adopted out or you yourself had to
place a child.
I love this
story because the mom was 16 when she the baby and she was made to place her
baby. Fifty years later they meet. There are up and downs and some family drama
that does not deal with the adoption.
The ending
was not what I expected but it was still good. I do recommend that you read
this book.
The Glory
and The Dream By: William Manchester
This is the
second volume. This book took me 5 months to read. I only read about 20 minutes
a day. This is a history book, and it only covered the years from 1932 to 1972.
There is a whole of information that I did not know and some I did not care to
know. Yes, it is outdated but I enjoy history and since it was around the house,
I read it. I gave it 3 stars.
An Ember In
The Ashes By: Sabaa Tahir
I gave this
book 3 stars. This book is about a young girl who will do anything to save her
brother. Even if that means spying for the enemy. I had a hard time getting
into this book, but I am interested enough to continue with the series.
The Oldest
Student: How Mary Walker Learned To Read By: Rita Lorraine Hubbard
I gave this
book 5 stars. It is a beautiful book about a freed slave and her life. She was
freed with the civil war at the age of 15 and how much she wanted to learn how
to read but she had to work to help her family. She was finally able to lean at
the ripe old age of 116. She lived to be 121. I enjoyed the pictures as well as
the story.
The Crow’s Call By: Wanda E. Brunstetter
This is the first book in her new trilogy. I gave it 4 stars. This book is about the struggles of an Amish family dealing with the death of three members of their family. This first book is about Amy and how she feels that she can no longer court the boy she loves because she must help her family with their greenhouse, which is how they are able to make a living. Strange things are happening at the greenhouse, and they do not know who or what is causing the problem.
Diana and
The Underworld Odyssey By: Aisha Saeed
I gave this

The
Mockingbird’s Song By: Wanda E.
Brunstetter
This is the
second book in series. The first book is called The Crow’s Call. I gave this
book 4 stars also. I received this as an e-arc from NetGalley for an honest
review. The link is down below. This book is about the sister who lost her
husband an accident. It goes into how she deals with her grief and get her life
back to normal for herself and her two young children. More things are still
happening to the Greenhouse, and they do not know who or what is causing the
issues.

King and the
Dragonflies By: Kacen Callender
I received
this book through the Amazon Vine Program for an honest review. I have reviewed
it on Amazon already. I gave it 3 stars. I felt there were too many issues going in
this book for a middle-grade reader to have to deal with at one time. If he had
just kept to one or two it would have been a four star. He did do a great job
with the issues and his writing is wonderful. The three issues were an
unexpected death of a youth through sports, sexual identity issues and abuse by
a parent who has an important job in the community.
