Hi iam Ahmad and i liked the story because it was fun reading a story like this about prison and innocenes this is the story. Stanley Yelnats is accused of stealing Sweet feet's sneakers. He can go to jail or Camp Green Lake. He goes to Camp Green Lake and every day he has to dig a hole to, supposedly, build character. Turns out that they are digging the holes to find treasure for the warden. Zero smacks Mum (the mentor) with a shovel and pegs it. Stanley steals a truck but crashes it and pegs it into the desert. He meets Zero again and they climb a mountain to get water and onions. Then they go back and find the treasure but they get stuck in a hole because of the poisonous lizards. The lizards don't eat them because they don't like the smell of the onions. Stanley gets the treasure because it has his name on it. Zero goes to live with Stanley at the end and he finally finds his mum. Done.

D-Day

D-Day was one of the biggest military operations ever to take place in the history of mankind. It was the day on which the United States would take its first step into Europe, in an attempt to liberate it from Nazi hands. This day, and many after, was no walk in the park, as portrayed by Stephen E. Ambrose's book, D-Day June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II.

From the start of the book, Ambrose does not let down on the excitement, the courage, and the horror that many of the men had to endure during that gruesome day. In the beginning of the book, Ambrose talks about the massive amount of preparation and careful planning that had into this extraordinary day in Normandy.

I recommend this book to those people who like to know about the wars in past specially about the world war 2 which United State took its first step into Europe.

James & The Giant Peach

My favourite book is James & the giant peach, its a book by roal dahl. The book is about a kid called James Henry who lived in a pretty bright house by the sea in the south of england, went on holiday to the capital with his parents, but his mother and father were eaten by a rhino that had escaped from London zoo. After the death of his parents, James was forced to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge, who live on a hill. For years Spiker and Sponge abused James, not allowing him to go beyond the hill or play with other children. Around the house James is treated no better then a slave. But one day something wierd happened, suddenly a mysterious yet friendly wizard showed up in his back-yard, who understood jame's situation and gave him a sack of tiny glowing-green magic crystals that he promised will bring happiness if drank. On the way back to the house, James trips up and spills the sack onto the peach tree outside his home, which had previously never given fruit. The tree becomes enchanted through the crystals, and begins to blossom; indeed a certain peach grows to the size of a large house. then suddenly he got sucked inside the peach and found anthropomorphic insects then he was shocked when he found them talking like humans. Then he became friends with the anthropomorphic insects who become central to the plot and James' companions in his adventure. The Centipede bites through the stem of the peach with his powerful jaws, releasing it from the tree, and it begins to roll down the hill, flattening Spiker and Sponge to death as it goes. The peach rolls through villages and houses before falling off the cliffs and into the sea. The peach floats in the English channel, but quickly drifts away from civilization and into the expanses of the Atlantic Ocean. Hours later, not far from the Azores, the peach is attacked by a swarm of hundreds of sharks. Using the blind Earthworm as bait, the ever resourceful James and the other inhabitants of the peach lure over five hundred seagulls to the peach from the nearby islands. The seagulls are then tied to the broken stem of the fruit using spiderwebs from the Spider and strings of white silk from the Silkworm. The mass of seagulls does indeed lift the giant peach into the air and away from the sharks, although the peach is barely damaged in the incident.As the sun rises, the inhabitants of the giant peach see glimmering skyscrapers peeking above the clouds, and a sprawling urban city far below them. The inhabitants of Manhatten see the giant peach suspended in the air by a swarm of hundreds of seagull, and panic, believing it to be a floating, orange-coloured, spherical nuclear bomb. A huge passenger airplane flies past the giant peach, almost hitting it, and severing the silken strings between the seagulls and the peach. The seagulls free, the peach begins to fall to the ground, but it is saved when it is impaled upon the spike at the top of the Empire State Building. The people on the observation deck at first believe the inhabitants of the giant peach to be monsters or Aliens, but when James appears from within the skewered peach and explains his story, the people hail James and his insect friends as heroes. They are given a welcoming home parade, and James get what he always wanted - playmates in the form of millions of potential new childhood friends. After a while, James Henry & the anthropomorphic insects, all gone to a very interesting futures in the world of humans..

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott-Hayam Bassam

I have read many books this year, and I can’t decide which one is my favorite, because each book has a world of its own, and each world is unique in its own way, so I am going to talk about the book I recently read and it is called Little Women.
Little Women is world classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. The book attracted me because of the purple color and the picture at the front. My mother also recommended this book to me. This book is about four young women whose father was fighting in the American Civil War. The eldest of the girls was pretty seventeen-year-old Margret, also known as Meg. Next came Josephine, or Jo, who is a sixteen –year-old imaginative and boyish girl. Fourteen- year-old Elizabeth, Beth, was a sweet shy girl who loves everybody more than herself, and last but not least thirteen-year-old selfish Amy. However all of these girls learn how to be true little women.
When Meg and Jo where invited to a New Year’s Eve dance party, Jo meets the March’s neighbor, Theodore Laurence, whom she had never talked to before. She finds him a sweet boy and becomes friends with him the next day. She made him laugh like no other person ever did and she told him stories that amused him greatly. Jo also finds the huge library at the Laurence’s like Heaven for she was a book worm. Laurie, who is Theodore, finds the March’s family the best family on Earth and he likes Mrs. March especially because he finds her like his mother, having lost both his parents when he was young and now living with his grandfather.
After about half a year later, Mrs. March gets a telegram saying that Mr. March was seriously ill and that he is at a hospital in Washington. Mrs. March goes immediately with Laurie’s tutor Mr. John Brooke. While she is away, Beth gets the scarlet fever and is very close to death. Hannah (who helps Mrs. March in the house’s daily chores) sits by Beth day and night. She refuses point blank to send a telegram to Mrs. March saying that Beth is ill. Not since Mr. March was getting better and he didn’t wish his wife to leave him. Laurie however decides to send a telegram when Beth’s gets really sick, for she mixes between people and her rosy cheeks become pale and her tireless hands become feeble.
When Mrs. March arrives Beth was starting to get better and she cares for her while Hannah rested. Jo, now that her mother was here and Beth was better, has other doubts. She suspects that Mr. Brooke fancies Meg and she doesn’t want Meg to leave. She discusses this issue with her mother and tells her that Meg likes brown eyes, which is Mr. Brooke’s eye color, and that Laurie told her that Meg’s other glove that she forgot at the Laurence’s is in Mr. Brooke’s pocket (she was told that when she went onto town to do something exciting that I won’t tell you about). Mrs. March after observing Meg discovers that she doesn’t love him (yet). Laurie however decides to take the matter into his own hands and discover the truth. He sends two letters to Meg in Mr. Brooke’s name and Meg gets offended and shows Mrs. March the letters. Laurie is called and he stays with Mrs. March for a long time talking and arguing. Then Meg is called and Laurie begs her pardon and goes out without saying another word. Jo makes peace with him again after she scowls at him in her house.
Not long after that (on Christmas) Mr. March and Mr. Brooke come home again and a festive Christmas dinner takes place. Then Meg decides that she wants to spend the rest of her life with Mr. Brooke (after a series of events take place) and the parents and the new couple decide that the wedding will take place after three years.
Little Women was published in 1868.
The second part of Little Women, also called Good Wives was published a year after where many events, both happy and sad, take place and of course they are as catchy and imaginative as the events in this book.
Another two sequels, Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886), were published. I have not read them yet so I can’t tell you much but I am sure that they will also be two of my favorite books.
