This book is really good for the 8-12 crowd. My 8-year old daughter read it in one day, she could not put it down.

This book is part of a series called Remarkable People, which appears to be aimed at around middle school aged readers. This one obviously focuses on Nelson Mandela. I thought it was a nice introduction to his life, and although it's aimed at a much younger crowd, I learned a few things. Its extremely short and really only touched on some highlights of his life, but I thought it was interesting.

This is my one nonfiction book called The Split History Of World War 2. So what this book states is that the war actually started in 1939 but the U.S didn't join in until 1941. The U.S actually joined in the war because of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. Then the United States decided to declare war on Japan. At first, just Germany and Italy where allies which were known as the Axis powers. If Germany wanted to win they were going to have to go for Britain. So the started bombing London and other major cities in Britain. Then one night Germany decided to attack Russia. Well, that lasted until winters. In case you didn't know. Russias winters are terrible. So they eventually surrendered to Russia.

I personally really like reading about the history of wars. I really enjoyed reading about this. It taught me just a little bit more information that I can add to my already brilliant mind. I also thought that the pictures where a really nice touch to the book

If you've ever wondered what it might be like to take a peek at the future, this story will be right up your alley. The fast-paced plot kept me drawing me back in, at times unnerving me with a creepy sense of someone looking over my shoulder. The tension created by Alex's missing father, a cold businesswoman looking for something (or someone) to dominate, and another frightening kidnapping keeps the reader engrossed in the story until the end. A well-crafted book with believable moments of future/past communication. A rewarding read for young tech fans.… (more)
