Historical+Fiction

This is a story that takes place in the 1300’s. It chronicles the life of a young boy who has been orphaned by his mother’s death. He spends a great deal of time determining his place in society. Back then everyone had a place! As he moves through the story he encountered many new aspects of living and decides where his place is. This book is hard to predict because it takes place in the 1300’s and society functions differently than it does now. You may come out of this book with many questions and be looking to investigate this time period further. Although the ending is not as I imagined it is a wonderful glimpse into life long ago.

__Code talker__ author:Joseph Bruchac by:streetgeek2 pgs:231 This book is about a navojo indian that goes to the army when he is sixteen years old to fight the Japenese in world war two. In those days you had to be between the ages of seventeen to thirty-five years old so he lied about his age because he wanted to help his country by being a code talker. A code talkers mission was to send messages in their language to other navojo's so the Japenese couldn't understand what they were saying when they were trying to listen. In the book it gets kind of sad at some parts. I reccomend this book.
