Home of the Brave

The book I read was Home Of The Brave by Katherine Applegate. Katherine started writing books back in 1994.  Her first book was about love and relationships, if i compare it to Home Of The Brave it's kinda similar because Kek (main character in Home Of The Brave) loves the cow and in the first book she wrote this one guy was in love with a women. Her books are basically about animals and relationships.  One of katherine’s series are Animorphs which is people who transform into different type of animal based on the boy or girl. I’m not sure how they are able to transform but i’ll have to figure out by reading her series. This book was good, it is really easy to read out to kids or brother/sisters friends and family. This book is really to understand the storyline and it have some interesting parts in the book. You will have to read to figure out!

The story is about a guy from Africa came here to the United State Of America and settle here. He lived with his mother but when they came here, they got separated. His father and brother didn’t survived.  There was a war going on at Sudan back then. Only Kek and his mother survived the war, his cousin is already in the United States Of America and Kek’s aunt.

  

I like this book because it is a simple book and really easy to read. Each page should be like around 5-7 sentences only.  I recommend this book to 7th graders through 12th graders. This book is really easy to read and understand this book. I finish this book under 10 seconds, that's how simple the book is.  It is a chapter book with short sentences but a lot of pages. The book might be written for the African kids to show how they live in the U.S. All readers should read this book because it is explaining how African kids are settling here in U.S. How hard their trip was and how hard it is to live here. I’m not saying that you guys should read this book but I really think you should save your time and read this amazing book by Katherine Applegate. Also read her other series too, the book is called Animorphs.      

If I were to rate it a 10 stars, I’ll put a 10 out of 10 because this book it so amazing! Like I said before it is a simple book to read and anybody could read this book, but I’ll recommend it to people who are interested in how people live and how they got here. All readers would like this book because it was so interesting. I don’t really read books but this book makes me like reading! So when you guys have the time, stop by a library and see if they have this awesome book! Home Of The Brave by Katherine Applegate.

One of my favorite line in the book is “A cow is a god with a wet nose.” I like it because it funny. Like how is a cow a god? I know the cow’s nose is wet but still how is a cow a god? If you want to figure out why or the reason the cow is like a god, you should go and read this book right now!
