    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.

    makgag1617's book review was featured in In Real Life: My Journey to a Pixelated World.
    Have you ever gotten bullied because when you were little, you ate lead chips of paint? Well in his book,”My Journey To A Pixelated World”, by Joey Graceffa, he talks about how his life started. By eating paint lead chips, and how that led to him having a learning disability. It was written about, around modern times. He was living in Boston from when he was born to about his first year of college. Then he dropped out because he was offered a job in Los Angeles, and then he moved out there with his best friend, Brittany. She was his best friend and they had a channel together named WinterSpringPro (WSP). The first major conflict is that Joey’s mom is an alcoholic and keeps getting into his life and he doesn’t want that. She keeps coming home drunk and joey just doesn’t know what to do and all he wants to do is focus on his youtube channel. The second major conflict is that he’s focusing too much on youtube and all the comments and videos that he wants to post that he never has time to go out and have some fun with life. It’s also conflicting his love life, trying to find the perfect guy. Five interesting facts in this book are: 1. No matter what, Joey is always positive and is always giving life advice to his youtube fans or book fans. 2.Every time Joey’s mom would come home and he had a friend over, his mother would start acting weird and he knew that she was drunk. He would always yell at her and tell her,” JUST GO TO BED MOM!”.3. Joey ate lead chips from his apartment paint and gave him a learning disability. 4. He was bullied all his childhood because he was in the special ed classes.5. When he was in either 6th or 7th grade he was able to get out of the special ed classes. I really liked this book and I recommend this book to a middle aged audience like 6th grade middle school to high school. Also someone who is maybe looking for some life advice and likes his youtube channel. I personally really liked this book because it gave some advice that I could use in life and I like watching his youtube channel.

    Do you know what it is like to have a brother with autism? Well in the book rules you will know.In The book Rules by Cynthia Lord there is a girl named Catherine and she has a younger brother with autism his name is David. The book takes place at their house and OT which is speech therapy for David. In this book the protagonist is Catherine because she is loving and caring for her brother. The antagonist is David autism because its makes it so Catherine has to watch over him all the time. She can’t have friends over because she is sacred that he is going to do something embarrassing. The first conflict in the book is when Catherine gets a new neighbor and she wants to come over to her house all the time but Catherine is scared that David is going to do something bad. The second conflict in the book is when her friend Jason that she meet at David's therapy class invites her to his birthday part but the girl next door wants her to got to a dance that she is going on the same day so she doesn't know what to do. But at the end of the book she starts realizing that it is not David's fault. Catherine writes speech cards for Jason and also wrote rules for Divided. I would recommend this book to someone that is 6th or 7th grade that want a quick and easy book to read.
