This Book Challenge update had me read another book in a favorite series as well as introducing a brand new book series to me. I will start with the favorite series. Seth challenged me to read I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944, I had a feeling I would enjoy it simply for two reasons. One reason is because I love the I Survived series. The other reason is because I love to read anything to do with World War II. This book shows WWII from a different point of view. As Americans we usually see WWII from the USA's side. However, in Europe, many people were treated unfairly years before America joined the war. This book showed how it was for those in Europe who were run out of their homes. I loved the different aspects of the invasion this book showed. The author did not limit herself to just one part of the invasion, but shows the reader lots of ways the Jews had to run to escape the Nazis. This book is full of history, action, adventure and surprises! I would recommend it for sure!
The second book was one Lily S. challenged me to read. It is called.Thea Stilton and the Chocolate Sabotage. OH. MY. STARS!!!! Can I just say how much I am in love with this series now? I love how it emphasizes vocabulary words. I love the little mouse puns that are all through the book. I love how this one incorporated so much of our social studies standards into the book. I am going to be reading more of these for sure! I really liked this one and how it was a mystery. I usually don't like mysteries, but I love how all the friends worked together to solve the problem. What a great life lesson that is for us! Of course, I love the chocolate involved! I can't wait for the next one I read.
I would recommend these books to any of you! I know a lot of you have read the I Survived series, but if you haven't read the Thea Stilton or Geronimo Stilton books, go NOW!!!!
Love,
Mrs. Becky
