The Corpse Bride

The Corpse Bride  Directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson

Review by Kaite Rose

                 Well it is October, so I have to do at least one Halloween classic!  The Corpse Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies. Considering the glory of stop animation combined with an all-star voice cast, and of course coming from the mind of Tim Burton, there really is a lot to love here.  What I love most about this movie, however, is the characters! And the music is pretty snazzy too!

Fever 1793

Fever 1793 By Laurie Halse Anderson

Review by Katie Rose

 

                I JUST finished this book, and I was so excited about it I had to move it to the top of my review list! It is another historical fiction, but it is also a children’s book. In any country’s history, there are horrifying events that occur, and then are forgotten. Sometimes they are deliberately ignored to undermine the suffering of those who were persecuted….and sometimes they are forgotten because people simply did not want to remember. The story of the yellow fever outbreak of 1793 is one of those instances.
