I found this book to be really boring and it didn’t really engage me into it, I wouldn’t read this book again. I’d say the only interesting part in this book is when Noah loses half of his arm and they are in the hospital and watching all the soldiers limbs be torn off. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone because I didn’t find this interesting.

I thought that Two Girls of Gettysburg was a good book. I thought that the ending wasn’t strong enough though. I would like to go more into the future and see how everything ended up for the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about friendship.

This book was an okay book. It was interesting at some points, but it did get a little boring at points, unless there was a specific part that interested me. I recommend this book to someone who wouldn’t mind hearing some sort of goriness, and is into mystery like novels. I, myself would not want to read this again if I could.

I liked the book because I thought that it was interesting on how Jennie Hodgers was “Albert Cashier” in the civil war. I learned a lot about the Battle of Vicksburg. My favorite part of the book was when her and Tom were in Ireland because it shows how fast her life changed. I would recommend this book to people who like fiction and also learning about things at the same time.

Do you know how elephants are really treated in the circus? In this book "Chained" by Lynne Kelly that is exactly what it is talking about. The book is set in India in recent times. The book is about a Hastin’s sister Chanda being sick and his mother has no money to take her to the hospital. They live in a hut in India with barely enough money to have food. Hastin’s and Chanda’s mother took Chanda to the hospital because Chanda was so sick. One conflict is their mother has no money to pay the doctors so she decides to work as a servant for a rich family to pay for the money for the hospital. Hastin wants to help get money so he gets a job too. Timir the person he works for is having Hastin be the elephant keeper at the circus. Hastin has to stay at the circus for one year to pay for the hospital. His first job is to catch an elephant. The second conflict is that days have past in the book and still their is no elephant. One night he heard an elephant fall into the trap that they set up. Hastin doesn't want to tell Timir because he is afraid he will hurt the elephant. Hastin named the baby elephant that he caught Nandita. Soon enough Timir finds out and gets the elephant out of the trap by using the bullhook that hurts the Nandita. I think the protagonist is Hastin because he likes the elephant and wants to save her. The antagonist is Timir because he doesn’t care about the elephant’s life. Timir hires a trainer and trains the elephant to do tricks. The trainer's name is Sharad. One day Nandita and Hastin wanted to go home so bad that they tried to escape. Sharad catches them and tries to stop them. The conflict where they try to solve the problem, is when Nandita almost escapes Sharad held up the bullhook and Nandita hit him before he hurt her. I recommend this book to anyone who like animals and to readers fifth grade and older.
