Review: I SURVIVED THE HINDENBURG DISASTER, 1937 by Lauren Tarshis

 


The Hindenburg aircraft was known to be the safest way to travel. Yeah, and so was the Titanic. On this day, that would change.

 

Hugo was on the way to see a special doctor for his little sister. Aboard this aircraft, we learn all about Hitler’s reign, possibly using a safer gas for the aircraft, and a spy that could be lurking on the ship. This was such a fun ride, and I loved the little illustrations in between. What a shock to have the aircraft explode like that! A good read!

Review: THE BABYSITTER’S CLUB: GOOD-BYE STACEY, GOOD-BYE by Gabriela Epstein

 


Stacey was moving back to New York and leaving the babysitter’s club forever. Sad. All the girls were sad and panicked to lose their treasurer. What do the girls need to do? Plan this going away party for Stacey.

 

Loved the graphics and the facial expressions. You can’t help but enjoy the camaraderie and the friendship. A fun and colorful read!

Review: LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann

 


This one got into personal specifics that I wasn’t ready for (it certainly wasn’t in the first book.) I didn’t like that. The text was way too thin and small to read. All I was really going on were the pictures, which were also too small. Read was okay from what I could see.
