Feelings about Mao's last dancer

While reading Mao's Last Dancer, I felt like I wanted to read more because it was exciting. I was reading the life of a peasant in China who get's the opportunity of a lifetime to dance at the Beijing Dance academy, but does not want to take it because he wants to stay at home with his niang and dia.

A pattern I have found is that the author has little events leading up to a really detailed and factual climax in each chapter. This is usually a bad thing that leaves the reader shocked and wanting to read this book again and again until they figure out what ha actually happen and understand it so much that if there is another book they know what will be in it. But some parts can be heart-warming like when Li Cunxin works and works towards his dream because he wants to make china, his family and especially his loving, caring but poor parents.

In my opinion i think anyone that has high imagination and a high context of knowledge should reads this book.

Samurai Kids- White Crane written by Sandy Fussell

Samurai Kids Samurai Kids is a very intriguing and interesting book. This book is written for 11-13 year old audiences and has a lot of twists and turns along the way. Samurai Kids is about kids who want to be samurais but no ryu will accept them due to their disabilities. The main character;  Niya has no leg and the children have disabilities such as blindness, extra fingers and toes and one child has no arms.

I am up to page 146 in this descriptive, enduring book. Samurai Kids has many funny parts and unpredictable events, for example Taji is blind but he somehow beat Niya, a boy missing a leg. Taji usually beats the crew because he doesn't have the gift of sight he can hear very deeply, even a small tip toe step.  
So far i am up to page 7 in the book Holes. This book was written by a spectacular author called Bloomsbury.I suggest this book for ages 9+ as it has complicated words and high vocabulary.So far i am really interested in continuing this book and cant wait to finish it.
