My log is on Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain. The characters are...
Huck, Jim, Pap, Tom Sawyer, Miss Watson, Widow Rankin, Judge Thacher, Aunt Polly, Aunt Sally,
The Grangerfords, The Duke, Bilgewater and The Late William's brothers and daughters.
This book is mainly about Huck and the escaped slave Jim who is really free and there trip down the
Mississippi river. Though it was not intended to have so many adventures along the way. Originally
when the book stared he was just leading a plain life even though he had tons of money. But then his Pap came along and Huck gave up all his money. But he ran away when his dad started getting drunk
often and made it look like he had been killed. Then on the way he met Jim and the two had a few unintentional adventures. That was until they met the Duke and Bilgewater. Who made Huck and
Jim help scam people. In one town the Duke and Bilgewater were doing another scam but later on get captured. But when Jim was captured Huck went to save Jim but ends up impersonating Tom. But soon
runs into the real Tom. But because tom liked adventure he decided to help Huck. So if you want to know what it ends like you have to read the book.
I rate this book a 5.

Boston Jane: An Adventure is an awesome historical fiction book about a tomboy girl whose favorite pastime is spitting on people’s hats and lobbing rotten apples at passing carts. The trouble officially begins when William, Jane’s dearest friend, moves away to Shoalwater Bay in the Oregon Territory and proposes to Jane. Then, Jane has to deal with bad luck on a ship, inappropriate (and sometimes drunk) men, and the death of friends. Boston Jane: An Adventure is an enchanting read, which will give you the desire for the other 2 books in the series! I rate this book 4 and 99/100 out of 5.

The Sign of the Beaver is an awesome historical fiction novel. Matt, the main character, is a very brave boy. He spends the night in the cold scary wilderness where there are wild Mountain Lions. Matt is a really good builder. He builds a spruce wood log house with his dad. He gets left in the wilderness for several months while his dad goes back to Boston to get the rest of the family. When his dad gets back his mom says that she’s going to have a baby. I would rate this book a 2 because it was a little hard to read and I don’t really enjoy history.

Now this is only my second blog of the year and I am going to do it on the 4th book in the great brain series it is called ‘The Great Brain Goes To The Academy’. It is about a twelve year old swindler who does all kinds of rule breaking things. Now the academy he goes to is the only christian academy in Utah. So if he gets 20 demerits in a month he gets expeled. So he has to use his great brain to make sure his money loving heart does not get him expeled. So read the book to get in on all of his money making ventures. I rate this book a 9. Oh and to tell you I could not decide if it goes in historical fiction or humor.

The book Mei Fuh Memories from China by Edith Schaeffer is a marvelous quick-read. The main characters are Mei Fuh young little girl, Mama a thoughtful, loving mother, and Papa a smart, helpful father. It is set in a Chinese compound, like a small gated neighborhood in 1914 and at the end of a book on a ship to America. My favorite character is Mei Fuh because she is a young little girl who goes through the difficulties of growing up. The book is mainly about Mei Fuh and her family. The book talks about how Mei Fuh growing up and their memories living in China. I would recommend this book because it is like spending a few years with a Chinese family. You learn what the differences and similarities between Chinese and what you may be at home. It is a phenomenal book to read quickly and you will be surprised at what happens in the end!
