Ivanhoe (Compact English Classics)

Ivanhoe (Compact English Classics)

By Sir Walter Scott

Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott takes the reader back to the classic medieval times where knights in shining armor, princess, and chivalry are rampant in England. Ivanhoe, the main character of this story, has returned home from the Holy Land disinherited and disowned, seeking to reunite with his love Rowena and defend his country from the notorious Prince John before it is too late. Medieval knights, courageous heroines, and romance – these topics are all clearly illustrated in the unforgettable story of Ivanhoe and his fight for his country and the woman he loves. The story takes the reader on a journey in time when knights were returning home for the Crusades fought in the Holy Land between Christians and Muslims. The setting of the story is descriptive and very apparent for the reader. Sir Walter Scott creates scenes in your mind through his clear illustrative words and descriptions of what life was like in the medieval times. The book began with a couple engaging sentences, giving the reader a clear idea of what was happening in England in the Dark Ages, stating that “In the year 1192, the people of England feared for the life of their beloved king, Richard I, also called Richard the Lion-Hearted. Was he dead or was he a prisoner somewhere?” In a matter of two sentences, Scott captivates its reader by asking a question that is just begging to be answered: What has happened to King Richard the Lion-Hearted? This question and the fight for the answer would be the clear hallmark of this classic tale. Along with descriptive words and settings, a standout in this book is Scott’s creativity with characters, especially with the female protagonists, Princess Rowena, Ivanhoe’s love interest and Rebecca, the Jewish daughter of Issac of York. Although Robin Hood, Cedric the Saxon, Prince John, and Brian de Bois-Guilbert are fascinating characters and each hold an important role in the story of Ivanhoe, the book would not be complete without the courage and wit of Rowena and Rebecca. Scott masterfully illustrates Rowena and Rebecca as strong, capable women who, when faced with opposition or danger, act responsibly and courageously. Both women are also loyal and strong in their convictions. Rebecca, on one occasion in particular, spoke bravely and fiercely to an adversary much to her detriment, saying, “Beast! I would rather die in this fire than be rescued by a savage like you!”. The author allows for the reader to believe that strong, capable protagonists can be performed by both men and women alike. Though vibrant settings and strong characters are important in the story of Ivanhoe, Scott does not neglect to give the reader an idea of what kind of man Ivanhoe was. Courageous, passionate, and chivalrous, Ivanhoe is a stand out character because of his dedication to his country despite the cost and defending the woman he loves. Unlike the opposing knights Brian de Bois-Guilbert and Maurice de Bracy, Ivanhoe practices true courage and sacrifice. Driven by his love for Rowena and his strong feeling of patriotism for England, Ivanhoe is time and time again demonstrates chivalry and duty. In a dire life and death situation near the end of the book involving Rebecca, Ivanhoe is requested to fight for her. When called upon, Ivanhoe courageously declares that “I am a noble knight ready to defend Rebecca with my sword and lance, to prove that the accusations against her are false, and to defy Brian de Bois-Guilbert, who is a traitor, a liar, and a murderer!”. Insight into Ivanhoe’s character of courage, honor, and kindness are displayed clearly through Scott’s descriptive words and dialogue. Through the story of Ivanhoe, the reader is taken on a thrilling journey through the post-Crusades era in England, where a fight of honor and duty are fought among knights and heroines. As the reader falls in love with Ivanhoe’s chivalrous character, Rowena’s beloved kindness, Rebecca’s charming intelligence, and Robin Hood’s witty and creative mind, he or she can easily root for these unforgettable characters and the fight against right and wrong. Although this book does suffer with an abundance of characters, making it somewhat hard to keep track, the book Ivanhoe offers the reader a look into the medieval days and perils that followed the Crusades. With its lovable protagonists and exciting adventures and fights, this book easily appeals to a reader in the 21st century and for the centuries to come. Happy reading!

The Trouble with Chickens: A J.J. Tully Mystery (J. J. Tully Mysteries)

By Doreen Cronin

This book is about a dog named J.J who met a couple of crazy chickens named Sugar, Dirt, Moosh, Poppy, and Sweetie. One day some of the chicks were missing- Poppy and Sweetie. Moosh ( the mother) found a note that said, " I have your chicks. It behooves you to rendezvous. Twilight. Your place.' J.J couldn't read so he sniffed the note. He caught the scent. Soon he figured out that the other dog, Vince the funnel. Vince looked like a funnel to J.J. They went to the house but J.J dug his claws into the carpet and had a ride all over the house and knocked himself out cold and Vince told the chickens to roll him in. When J.J woke up, he was in Vince's cage. He figured out Vince was supposed to have an ear appointment and get a bigger funnel around his neck, but now that J.J is in the cage, he is going to get a big ear funnel. He can't get out because Vince has the switch to open and close the door. Sugar comes in. J.J thought he put Sugar in the birdbath, and he knows chickens can't fly. Sugar says they can fly to rendezvous with other chickens. J.J knew she was the one who wrote the note. They came up with a plan to get him out of the cage. Moosh helps Vince get his funnel off, but before that, she took the collar off and kicked the collar to Sugar. Then they freed J.J and put Vince in the cage. I really liked this book.

The Lemonade War (The Lemonade War Series)

The Lemonade War (The Lemonade War Series)

By Jacqueline Davies

I would like to tell you about a fantastic book I have been reading called "The lemonade War "This book is about a brother and sister, Evan and Jessie Treski. It is in the middle of the summer and a heat wave has hit them. So, Evan decides to start a lemonade stand. Evan is making a lot of money out of the lemonade stand until his sister starts one. Jessie is school, or math smart, but Isn't really smart with people or feelings. Jessie lemonade stand is making a bunch of profit and she thinks Evan is going to walk over and say "Hey, can I join your lemonade stand". But the exact opposite happens. Evan gets furious and both of them start a lemonade war to see who can reach 100$ or more money at the end of the week. Then both of them start to bend the rules by sabotaging each other but I won't say how, because you have to read it yourself to find out. I would recommend this book to people that fight with their sibling a lot, because then you can learn from Evan and Jessie. How can you learn from them? Well you can see why they fight and maybe try to avoid doing that with your sibling or even read how they apologize to each other so if your sibling is mad at you can try to say the same thing to your sibling. My opinion is that I liked this book. The reasons why I don’t love it or is my favorite is because it is so short and here is not enough back story to Evan and Jessie. There needs to be a sequel to this book about before the summer or Even when they are older explaining more about when they young before the lemonade war and the heat wave. I can connect to this book about Evan and Jessie as siblings and how they fight like me and my brother. Evan and Jessie were fighting about money like my brother and I. One time we went to a dollarama with our friends that brought all their money but me and my brother had an odd amount of money and we didn’t know how to spend it evenly. I was mad at my sibling like Evan mad at Jessie because my brother spent more money by a couple of cents. Well I hope you decide to read this great book called "The lemonade war" By Jacqueline Davis by: Gabriel

The Magic Half

The Magic Half

By Annie Barrows

I just reread this after a year or so, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was younger. It definitely fills a niche for younger readers, but the story is not as light as the cover suggests. The book was spine-tingling, yet adventurous. In the beginning of the book the main character, Miri, moves to the countryside with her older brothers, Robbie and Ray who are twins, and her younger sisters Nell and Nora, who are also twins. Miri is left in the middle with no attention from most of her family. One afternoon, Miri finds a broken piece of glass from an eyeglass, taped to her bedroom wall. Miri looks into the glass and finds herself transported to 1935, but Miri is in the same bedroom, the same house, with four different people living in the house: Flo, Horst, Sissy, and Molly. Horst and Sissy are Flo's teenage children, and Molly's parents abandoned her so she is living with her Aunt Flo. Molly is treated horribly by her aunt and cousins, and she is the only one that meets Miri. Miri and Molly instantly become best friends, and Miri plans to take Molly home with her to the future. There's only one problem, they don't know how to get back to Miri's home in the future. I read this book in the middle of a "mourning period" because I just finished reading the Clockwork series by Cassandra Clare. I really enjoyed reading about the relationship between Miri and Molly. I liked how the author included two sets of twins, instead of four brothers and sisters. This book was a bit of a "ghost story", and I was definitely scared of Horst. The book was suspenseful, but believable at the same time. The ending was exactly what it was supposed to be, but had an unexpected twist to it. I would recommend this to girls that are 10 and older. -ifeelbookish
