Washington City Is Burning

Rating:
Summary: Washington City is Burning
Review: I would give this book a low rating because it was really predictable and easy to read. When I first got it I thought it would be a challenge, and it wasn't. I didn't really like the book just because it had to do with older times, nothing new or at least recent. Another reason is it really didn't have as much war in it as I was hoping for. This book is kind of like Robot Raiders except no scientific stuff, and a much later year, plus this book was really easy. While Robot Raiders was kind of a challenge. If the book as a little more challenging then it could have probably gotten a higher rating. If some one were to use this for ideas for a history project it would be really good, because I believe the British did in fact actually invade and take over Washington city. That was the only time a president was forced to leave the White House.

I would probably recommend this book to a fifth grader or an advanced fourth grade reader. This book can actually be interesting at some points but when it really comes down to every thing, you'll probably know what is going to happen next.

Summary: This book was very intersting!
Review: The book has much history which children can enjoy to learn about. It talks about runaway slaves in the early 1800. I realy loved it!
