  3. The book I'm reading is called Willow Run. It's about this girl named Meggie and her family moves away from her old home were her best friend lily and her grandfather. The problem is that Meggie moved away from her old home and moved to a place called Willow Run. That's why the book is called Willow Run. A little bit of the solution is that she meets a girl name Patches and they become friends. I feel bad for Meggie because her brother is at war.

  9. In the book Dear America, Amelia has a very hard time. Rough things happen like when her friend William drowns from the ice. Her mother is also very grumpy at this time because they moved near the ocean. Amelia also has to deal with Willams big brother going to fight in the war. She needs to work for money helping her father keeping his job. Her life is horribly boring to her and she wants to make her mother feel happy again like the old times when they used to live in a rural community. I would feel very sad and unhappy if her situation was with me.

  20. My book is " Dear America". It is about a girl named Amelia Martin and her hard life. Her mom thinks having slaves is right and her dad thinks it is right to not judge people by their skin tone. So that leads to a problem, her mom and dad fight A LOT. Amelia is doing all the work around her house like, weeding the garden, working at the light house,doing all of her grandma's house chores and is a part time teacher. That is a lot of work for a 15 year old. The only person she is in love with is a boy named Daniel and he has left to go and fight for the Union army. Daniel's family is going though a tough time because Daniel's older brother had just drowned in a pond when he was skating, and he skated to far in and the ice broke and he fell though. Daniel tried to save him but he was to late. I have not gotten to the solution yet.
