My Big Sister is So Bossy

I only read a few pages of this book. I read a few pages because it said a couple of bad words and I don't think that it is very appropiate for kids my age.

The whole fourth grade is learning about the election because they are electing a new mayor. They are going through an election themselves. They are electing a fourth grade President. There are two people from each class that are going to run. The mayor is trying to decide whether to build a playground or a parking garage. The kids want a playground but the adults want a parking garage.

During the election, Katie, Manny, & Suzanne are running for President. Katie's friends are helping her to make posters. When Suzanne starts to make her posters, she makes one of Katie's friends help her, and bribes him with pizza and that makes Katie mad. On one of Katie's posters it says "It's Katie Time", the next day, the poster read "It's not Katie time". Katie thinks that Suzanne might have done it, because Suzanne cheats, and is so convinced that she's going to win. Find out how Manny is involved in this fourth grade Election and how Katie and Suzanne solve their problem....in Katie Kazoo Switcheroo, Vote for Katie/Suzanne

The Work & The Glory Volume 1

This book is historical fiction. Historical fiction is about true historical facts with some fictional (made up) characters involved in the story.

This book is about Joseph Smith. In this book Joseph Smith is in his 20's. He is hired to work on the Steed (fictional family) family property. Joseph Smith is teased and made fun of, because he is translating "gold plates", but a lot of people call it the "gold bible". He is made fun of for his vision of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The Steed family do not know his story, but Nathan Steed begins to be friends with Joseph and later in the story asks Joseph about these things. Joshua is the oldest in the Steed family. He's really stubborn. He doesn't listen to his parents. He likes a girl named Lydia. She is the daughter of Josiah and Hannah McBride, important members of the local Presbyterian Church. Lydia and Joshua start to meet each other and Lydia's parents don't like the Steed family very much because they hired Joseph Smith. Joshua meets some friends who are not very good people and Lydia doesn't like that he's changed. One night Joshua wants Lydia to come with him to steal the "gold bible" from Joseph Smith. Lydia goes to the Steeds and tells them what Joshua is doing. Benjamin Steed (father) and Nathan Steed (brother) go in search of Joshua...

This book is written for Teens and older, but I really wanted to read it. It is a good book with lost of twists and turns and it is fun to learn about Joseph Smith. I plan on reading the whole series. I'm not sure I will blog about the whole series. Tell me what you think?
