His world changed overnight. They arrived while he was sleeping. Throwing a bag over his head and dragging his body out the front door, Kamran tried to make sense on why Homeland Security was doing this to him. He was an American citizen afterall and this shouldn’t be happening to him. The story f...
I had a hard time putting this novel down. Each of the three stories that made up this novel was fascinating, adventitious and energizing. Whether I was with Aaron escaping Europe, or with Isabel as she tries to make it to the United States or with Mahoud as they try to sneak into Turkey, I was em...
A fun, fast paced story of a Persian American boy being accused of terrorism and dealing with racism in today's society. Many people are going to love this topic especially since we need more of it in young adult literature. My only complaint is that its literally all action and very little characte...
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.The League of Seven is a steampunk adventure for middle grade readers. It takes place in a world that is completely unique, with an alternate history. It's kind of difficult for me to explain my thoughts about this bo...
"But we have one purpose now: survive. Survive at all costs, Yanek. We cannot let those monsters tear us from the pages of the world." These types of books are always heartbreaking to read. Every time I pick up a holocaust story I find it hard to take in how cruel humans can be, especially when rea...
I only wished the six years that Yanek a.k.a Jakob lived in the German camps could have went as fast as this book went for me. Jakob was a Polish Jew when the Germans invaded his town in 1939. One moment it was happening far away and the next it was at their doorstep, the changes were happening qu...
For the most part, the characters were in character. There were a couple of lines, a couple of times, that the speech pattern felt off, but I'm very particular about that, and overall it was good. It did take me out of the story once or twice, so I am mentioning it. It was also fairly obviou...
Will keep it short, I don't really tend to review books about these kind of topics. In short, it was a beautiful, heartwrenching story of a Jewish boy during the WOII. He survived everything, but lost so much. We see him grow up, from little boy, to his Bar mitzvah and then to the camps and to whe...
I haven't read a Starfleet Academy book in quite some time and I've had The Assassination Game sitting on my shelf since it came out! The first thing I noticed about this book was that it is physically thicker than the other books in the series so I immediately thought that that meant more story! Fo...
Check out Scott Reads It! for reviews, giveaways, and more! The Holocaust is an extremely tough subject to read about, no book could ever truly express how horrific, terrible, and inhumanely people were treated. Many of family members died in the Holocaust and it kills me to continue readi...
