The Maddie Diaries

Hi! I hope you enjoy this post on The Maddie Diaries!

Author- Maddie Ziegler (Madison Nicole Ziegler is her full name)
Genre- Non-Fiction (Are you surprised?)
Theme- No theme because it is Non-Fiction
Target audience- 9+ Mostly aimed for tweens and up

This is kind of a weird book because it is a procedural book and kind of a self help book. There are ways to make yourself confident and it is really helpful.

Have you heard of this award winning author before? Maddie Ziegler is an actress, dancer and author. Terrible singer though, although her sister Kenzie Ziegler (Mackenzie Ziegler) is definitely a singer. Her step-father and her mother always supported Maddie Ziegler and Mackenzie Ziegler.

This book is about .... Well it is about tips and tricks really! It tells you how to do different hairstyles and it is really useful if you are a dancer! It also tells you different ways to do your makeup. Once again useful if you are a dancer!

I recommend this book to any performer beccause of all the tips and tricks.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it is a very useful book for yourself and your friends. And if you are a big fan of Maddie Ziegler you get to know much more about her! There is even a part where Mackenzie Ziegler wrote some things about her sister, Maddie Ziegler.

The question of the blog is ... What hairstyle would you like to know how to do the most? I would personally love to be able to do a fishtail in my hair. I think it would look sophisticated with that hairstyle.

Hope you enjoyed this book review on The Maddie Diaries! Love-bookworm blog ๐Ÿ’•

Chinese Cinderella

This book is called Chinese Cinderella The secret of the unwanted daughter .It is a very long title so l thought l would abbreviate as Chinese Cinderella.

The auther is Adeline Yen Mah. Adeline is her English name and Yen is her Chinese name. Finally Mah is her family surname. This ia an autobiography.

Sorry for that long introduction to this book review and l am also sorry that l have not posted in a while. Also this is the mystery post l was talking about in the last post/Book review. Go check it out!

This book is about a child being neglected (we will go back to why she was neglected) but when she was not being neglected she was being bullied by her siblings. Now the reason she (Adeline Yen Mah) was getting neglected is because she is the reason (kind of) for her mother's death. Her mothers death happened soon after she was born so everyone took her as the blame. Sad right? Well one year after that her father remarried, to someone who was not very nice to her step-children. To make matters worse her step-mother had her own children and of course no one said it it was clear that her children were better than her step-children. If you disobeyed there was an extremely harsh (well very harsh like on a scale on one to ten it was probaly a nine, as ten being the worst it was a pretty bad punishment).

Some of it is written in Chinese, so if you can not read it there is a section where it translates it for you.

                                                  ⬇WARNING⬇
The adult version of Chinese Cinderella is called Falling leaves. So if you are 12 and under read Chinese Cinderella and if you are  13+ read either one (or both)!

This book makes me sad because of how they treat Adeline and others, it is just really unfair! Everyone has the right to be treated well and with respect.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because of how every thing happened and l just really enjoyed this book :) And on a (good) side note you also learn about the history of China and how it became what it is now! For example you learn when there was a Communist war and the Japanese soldiers invaded, her family had to keep moving.

Hope you enjoyed it! Love-bookworm blog ๐Ÿ’•

The Diary of Anne Frank

I am not reviewing the Baby-sitters club today- may resume this in a few days time! Let's get started with another review on Bookworm blog!

l recommend the children's version of The Diary of Anne Frank if you are under 12 years old! If you are 13+ feel free to read either version. If you are wondering what l mean by 'version' is because there is Anne Frank's 'real' Diary that l think has swearing in it. If you want to read Anne Frank's diary with less violence in it l recommend this book to you! I read the children's version. l thought in case you are younger the older version will be a bit too much. So l just had to put the DISCLAIMER out there for safety reasons.

Okay now to the actual review on The Diary of Anne Frank! The author is actually her, Anne Frank.

The Diary of Anne Frank is about the Nazis, World War 2 and Adolf Hitler. Anne's family have to go into hiding, so the Nazis will not take them. So the Nazis take some type of people (Sorry l forgot what type, read the book to find out!). The hiding place is named the ......... Secret Annexe. Her Diary is over a period of two years. And a lot of things happened even a little break in!

You also might find this book titled The Diary of a young girl. In case you can not find the kids version.

This book makes me feel lucky and grateful because we have a lot of things Anne did not have! But at the same time it makes me feel .... sad because it is just quite sad. But it is not a tear book like you do not cry while you read it, well not for me anyway. It is sad because the Nazis find Anne in the Secret Annexe and take her to a concentration camp where she dies.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it is a really touching story and it teaches you a lesson to be grateful for what you have. I just really LOVE this book!

Question of this blog post is ... Have you read this book before? Just joking it isn't the real question is .... Do you know why in Annexe (Secret Annexe) there is the name Anne in it?

Hope to see you soon on Bookworm blog! I will have another Baby-sitters club coming up in a few days so stay tuned! And sorry this is quite a long book review. Love-bookworm blog ๐Ÿ’•! (And sorry if emojies don't come up for you)

I am Malala

Hi! Today l'm doing yet another biography, about Malala Yousafzai, because she was in Rebel Girls 2017. 

The story is about her (Malala Yousafzai) getting shot by the Taliban as well as before the Taliban and in the hospital. Malala explains the scenes very well, about what was happening so, you could picture it in your mind.

Malala Yousafzai is someone who wants to help people even if she doesn't know them. She has an organisation for people who aren't educated. She is from Pakistan and the women there were banned from going to school (they were  banned by the Taliban). So if you could donate to Malala's organisation someone could be educated!

Malala is the youngest person ever to win a noble peace prize!Malala got the noble prize because she fought for womens rights and also fought for peace in Pakistan. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because Malala fought hard for other peoples rights.

Rebel Girls 2018

Hi! Today, l'm going to review the sequel to the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2017. I hope you enjoy!

The good night Rebel Girls 2018 is basically the same as the 2017 edition but, with different people. The people in the book are people who have changed the world and, make it a better place or made peace.

It was very inspiring because you want be like the women in the book to make the world a better place. So l hope you get motivated as well.

I hope the authors come out with a 2019/book 3 edition. There's a cool website au.rebelgirls.co with a podcast.

This book is very passionate because they have had sad lives and most of them are poor and didn't get much education so they had to work really hard to have a good life.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because of its passion and love and honesty. l said honesty because the stories are so real. I said love because it makes people sad because they went through really terrible hardships. Finally, l said passion because they didn't have much education, so it made it harder to communicate.

Hope to see you enjoyed this book review! Love bookworm blog

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2017

Hi! This is a book review for Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2017. I hope you enjoy! 

I was gifted this book and also the Rebel Girls 2018 Edition by a friend. I will most likely review the 2018 book next. Let's start with reviewing the 2017 book, my first book review ever!

The book starts with: Dream bigger, aim higher, fight harder and when in doubt, remember you are right.

I just find that quote really inspirational and touching. This is a great quote to remeber when you're feeling down.

In this book you will learn something, at least one thing at a minimum. You will learn about people who made the world a bigger and better place. You will learn about other woman's lives. You will learn about people who fought for other peoples' lives and how the world turned into how it is today. You will most likely learn more about other countries, mostly historical information.

I recommend a lot of the stories in here so here is a list of my recommendations to read: Ada Lovelace, Alak Wek, Amelia Earhart, Anna Politkovskaya, the Brontรซ sisters, Cleopatra, Coco Chanel, Coy Mathis, Elizabeth 1st, Hellen Keller, Jane Austen, Malala Yousafzai, Maria Callas, Marie Currie, Nancy Wake, Michelle Obama, Simone Biles, and Wilma Rudolph (just to name a few)!

I felt scared and a little bit sad to be honest when reading some of these stories because often the people face hardships and challenges . It also made me inspired to be a better person like them! l hope it motivates you as well!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because of its passion, love and honesty. The women in this book have lots of passion, love and fight for what they believe. The women are very strong!

Hope you enjoyed this book review! Love from bookworm blog๐Ÿ’•
