Theseus in the Minotaur by E2BN.org describes how Theseus defeats the Minotaur. Theseus felt bad that innocent people were being fed to Minotaur. The people were being fed to Minotaur to avoid war. Theseus wanted to stop this so he went to be one of the people to be fed to the monster. He was able to kill Minotaur. I like this story because it was very short. I like all the drama. I would recommend this book to people who like drama and who care about other people. I did not like that the father killed himself even though Thesius was alive. I would rate this book 9.5 out of 10.

Then, different types of plants start to grow on the Island. Once there are plants on the island, insects can survive. Seeds such as coconuts float on the ocean and arrive at the island and start to grow. Birds now come to the island because they can eat the insects and plants.

Malala Yousafza, by Robin. S Doak, tells about Malala and all of her accomplishments. Malala, the main character, was born on July 12th, 1997—Malala wanted all women to be treated the same as men. However, she lived in Pakistan and they think the opposite. The Taliban banned girls from going to school, so Malala's family tried to find a way for girls to continue their education. Malala and her family helped girls secretly go to school, but one day Malala was brutally shot by a member of the Taliban on her way home from school. In the end, Malala gave a speech and ended up winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Malala’s story shows that anyone can accomplish anything if they work hard for it. From this book I learned women don't get treated the same way everywhere. I did not know that there are different rules for women in Pakistan, and I think that is not fair. I can't believe when Malala got shot in the head she survived.
