Peer Book Review - Treasure Hunters: Danger Down the Nile

📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
by James Patterson
Reviewed by THMS 8th Grader Daniel P.
This is the second adventure of the group “kids.” Four orphan kids who are looking for their parents. Many people want their parent’s wealth so they attempt to kill the kids.
I would recommend this book. It has mystery and action in one. It tells the tragic story of a group of orphans.

Book Review - Rising Water: The Story of the Thai Cave Rescue

📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
by Marc Aronson
            In 2018 twelve Thai soccer players and their assistant coach Ekapol decided to go explore some caves after a game. Around midnight, their families were worried when they still weren’t home. Luckily some teammates knew where the boys went but unfortunately the cave was flooded with the boys and Ekapol somewhere inside. Thai rescue workers, with help from rescue workers from other countries, banded together to find and rescue the team to bring home safely.

            This is the true and fascinating account of what happened during the Thai cave rescue. The author breaks down the days of when the boys were missing, found but still trapped, and being rescued. For those who followed the story on the news probably know much of what the author shares. Those who didn’t will be surprised at what was done and how they all managed to survive and be rescued.
