Rated Vidas Secas 10/10
A tough read. The family suffers a lot and the ending is not hopeful. Lots of words that I didn't understand.

Rated The Way of the Runner: A Journey into the Fabled World of Japanese Running 8/10
Great book about running in Japan. I am not a real runner but now I know what "ekiden" is. The book describes not only the running culture in Japan but also part of Japan's cuture. You will know what is an ekiden, why Japanese runners are some of the best in the world, how high schools, universities and companies invest in running. You will also read some plausible theories of why Japanese runners are not even better. Adharanand is a great storyteller and, although the book is a little bit long, it gets better as it approaches the end.

Rated Bumba Queen Weave 8/10
This is a short book recommended for older kids and young teens (8-12), I believe. It is about a girl that lives with a witch and a dragon. Why is she there? She seems to be lost in that part of the world. What must she do to go back to her part of the world? To do that, whe must face her fears. But she is a dragon too (figuratively). <br/><br/>We follow our hero ("Kid", in Lady Shriv's words) in her journey. And then there is a plot twist. But, OK, I can tell much here. <br/><br/>One thing I didn't like much about this book is that I wanted more dialogues. And one thing that I liked is that it is full of content although very short.

Rated Zion and the BIG Mountain! 8/10
This is a beautiful little book for kids. It tells the story of Zion, a boy who wants to go to the top of the Zion Mountain. He is helped by some animals in his task. The text is simple and the illustrations are great. Good for non-native English speakers too.<br/><br/>Sometimes I felt that there wasn't much action so I had to read it more slowly than usual.
Rated Please Don't Tell Cooper He's a Dog (Mom’s Choice Award Recipient—Gold) 10/10
This is a beautiful children's book that can be read by adults too. It tells the story of Cooper, a fascinating dog that, it seems, thinks he is a human. Every page contains a small poem and a beautiful image. It is a very easy read. I would love to have kids to read this book to.
